The day is all wrapped up and I'm ready to head home.
I walk over to the elevator and wait patiently till the doors open. I hit the ground floor button.
As the elevator goes down, I stare down at my shoes. Then at my clothes.
I know mine are cheap and probably ten dollars a piece but the clothing I'm wearing feels expensive. The quality is nice and super comfy. More comfy then what I usually wear.
I realise just as the elevator gets to level six that I'm walking out of the office with clothes that Sam gave me.
It's not right, I have to give it back. I quickly press twelve rapidly until the elevator goes back up.
When I get to his office, I stop short in front of his door.
Nervously I run my hands through my hair. "Here goes" I whisper.
I knock gently until I hear Sam calling me in. Even though I'm not wearing heels now, I walk slowly towards his desk.
He looks up when he notices me. "You're still here."
"Yes...I...ummm... Well I wanted to return the clothes you gave me."
He laughs gently. "You're not being serious, are you?"
"Uhh...well yes... I am"
"Miss Jones, I gave you those clothes to keep. No need to return."
"It's just that I feel bad. You shouldn't of spent your money and time."
He smiles. "You really impress me Miss Jones. It is my office and I'm the boss here. I say it's perfectly fine for you to keep those clothes. A simple thank you will do."
I don't know what to say or do so I thank him. Awkwardly turning around and walking back out.
He calls my name just ask I get to the door.
"There is an office party this Saturday at six. Hope you can make it. I'll send you an invitation."
I smile. "I'll definitely be there." I want to jump up and down but I don't. That would just be embarrassing and I've already made quite a fool of myself in front of Sam.
"Great" he says as he grabs his phone and keys off the table. He stands and walks over to me.
I stare because clearly I don't know what else to do.
"Ready?" He asks.
"Excuse me?"
"To go home?"
"Oh yes, sorry to disturb you. I'll leave now."
I turn so fast like no one has ever done before. Ready to run out of his office. He probably thinks I'm disturbing him.
He grabs my hand just as I attempt to run or at least power walk out of there.
"You didn't disturb me at all, I thought I could walk you down."
"You don't have to do that sir, I can go myself."
"I don't doubt that. I'm about to leave too so it's only fair I walk you down."
I nod. "Thank you"
He places his hand on my back as he guides me out of the room and near the elevator . I feel something coursing through my spine.
He faces forward, not a care in the world and here I am freaking out and peaking at him from the side of my eye.
Gosh I must look like a stalker to him. When the elevator opens he guides me in. His hand still on my back. He presses ground floor and we head towards my car.
As I open the door to get in, he grabs my arm and places something in the palm of my hand.
"This is for the office underground carpark. There isn't a private space for the P.A but I'll have one made before you get here tomorrow. Can't have my P.A struggling for a spot."
"Thank you but you really don't have to."
He smiles. "You never just take things. Why is it so hard to just say thank you?"
I giggle. "Thank you."
I get in the car and drive off. When I look at the rear view mirror, Sam is still standing there. He waits until I get a little far until he walks off.
