Falling For My Boss

Chapter 8

Sunrays fell on my neat white sheets. I stretched my hands and found no one beside me. I sat up covering my body with the pale sheets and looked for Lorenzo. I was pretty late and I don't remember the last time I have slept this long. It was a pleasant morning with birds chirping and light breezes but where is Lorenzo ?. I searched the whole house and he wasn't anywhere to be seen. I tried to call him but it went straight to the voice mails which I hated the most. Was he only wanted to have sex with me? That's all ?I thought he was different. I thought he liked me and he wanted to be with me. All men are same. Longing and craving for sex. Nothing else matters. Our feelings doesn't matter to them. He could have told me that it's just a one night stand thing that's it ..No feelings attached. I could have then been clear about my emotions, my feelings and attractions for him. No one can just come up to me , flatter me with their witty words and emotional pasts and get between my legs. He wanted me for my body was the last thing I ever expected from him . The room was empty except me. Silence stretched and the voices in my mind were too loud . My eyes were fighting to hold back tears from rolling down my cheeks. I walked up to the long head to toe mirror. I patiently stood infront of it and looked at myself. Looked and thought where have I dragged myself into. I was here to start over. To write my story on a clean slate but it happens to be something totally unexpected. Looking at my body i trace my hands on all the places where he held me so delicately before finally dropping me off and letting me break into pieces and scatter all over the floor leaving no one behind to pick up the pieces and try mending them. I couldn't possibly stand any longer seeing my weak self in the mirror and then I looked into my phone which was luckily there on the bed rest. Thank God atleast he's not a thief. There has been so many notifications and calls and mails. I somehow managed to open a text from Scar.

To Lynn,

       Where on earth are you? I'm on a full panic mode. Do not ditch me today.

xoxo
Scar.

The other one read as...

To Lynn,

      It's almost 11 am and where the fucking hell are you? Did you genuinely forget about our client meet today? It's at 12 pm. Please please be on time or else boss will kill me and throw me out . I hope you don't want me to be thrown out.
And kindly send me the copy of the PPT so that i can have some idea about the meeting so even if you are late I'll manage to start off and later you may take up the lead.

xoxo
Scar.

Holy fucking shit. How the fuck did I forget about today's client meet. I have worked really hard on the PPT. My departmental promotion has some say only i manage to crack the deal. How can I be so reckless and forget something which is so important of my life right now.

The last text read

To Lynn,

       I don't know where you are but I'm worried about you now. Are you okay? Do you want me to go and help you out? Please tell me you are fine or else I'm going to come and look for you myself.

Scar.

There was no xoxo in her text which was very unusual. She seems to write xoxo everytime. Maybe she's really worried. I shoot her a message real quick .

To Scar,
 
     I just happened to slept a little longer than i usually do. Please forgive me. I'm fine and I'll not ditch you don't worry. I'm on my way. Will take another 15 minutes or so. I'm really sorry. I promise to make up to you later. I'm really sorry.

Lynn <3.

I hastily took my things and left the room never intending to return with my broken heart. Last night was a fantasy which had a devastating end. I just can't control my thoughts. I took a quick shower and my whole body sings in soreness.

I hastily went to the office. Someone ran past me in a hurry but his perfume caught my nose. I knew the smell. It was very familiar. I can't remember it. The smell strongly reminds me that I have smelled it before. I didn't give much damn and took the elevator to my floor. I got fully sure that I'm looking terrible today. A pile of folders were waiting for me in my office. I settled and went to get a cup of coffee when Scar turned me to face her. Her beautiful face turned into a terrific surprise. "O my gosh,  what has crept into you Lynn? You look miserable ". Nothing as such Scar,   just had a shitty morning where i missed my alarm and now I have to run to the client meet else boss will fire me.  "Wait I have good news for you and that boss has gone to Los Angeles for two days for Client meet so we can go shopping later today . It was a last minute change of plan. The client who was to meet us today had some urgency and thus he shifted for which the boss decided to meet another client. So he left". Well then let's call a day break. I'm into it . Lemme run and complete a few of my work.   I winked at her and returned to my cabin lifting my mood a little bit .

Well work was completed by 12 noon. The thought of Lorenzo didn't bugged me because I was stuffed with work. After work we went to the most famous mall that is Wallingford Center and we tried a lots of new clothes. "Lynn, why don't you try these awesome killer heels? ". The shoe was a dazzling black stiletto and luckily it fit me perfectly. "O my gosh, bish you look like a killer yourself". Thanks Scar for finding these out for me." My pleasure girl". We have almost bought half of the mall when suddenly I started feeling that someone is following me. The atmosphere around me was changing.  We were walking when suddenly someone crashed with me. I fall off. Scar helped me got up and the man who bumped into me got up too but as soon as he saw my face, he ran. It's weird and he was all covered in black. I couldn't see his face. We didn't further dwelled on the topic but went home..

2 days have passed and the boss will come tomorrow and there is still no call or text from Lorenzo. Why am I even thinking about him when all he did was use and throw? But is everything over, I still can't accept the fact but....
