Tied By Invisible Strings

I woke before my alarm, I got up off my bed making my way to the bathroom. I had a quick shower before brushing my teeth and drying my hair. Turns out I didn't get fired that's a positive.... though next time I decide to hit a man it'll be out of the workplace. I left the house making my way back to work. As I arrived I mentally slapped myself thinking of last nights conversation with the boss, I sulked in my chair waiting for any orders from the boss which I don't even receive, course as I think that a ding brings me out of my thoughts and the boss has in fact barked an order at me to get coffee?....seriously?. I shook my head before getting up off my chair to leave the building making a quick coffee run.

The quick coffee run turned into a not so quick coffee run.... 10 minutes of arguing with another customer before being served, if you enter a café and don't know what drink you want to order why stand in a cue?. I sighed heavily as I rushed back to the building. I gave a quiet knock to the boss's office awaiting a reply. "come in" I hear his voice muffled through the door as I opened it, The receptionist wasn't lying when she said he disliked lateness.

It was clear I wasn't "efficient" enough for him as his facial expression screamed unamused with my presence in the room. "No need to look at me like that as if I shat in your cereal" again I spoke without thinking I seem to be mentally slapping myself quite a lot this week.

"It's about time you learned respect if you're going to be working for me" He stood up from behind his desk brushing himself off before stalking towards me. "I apologise, here's your coffee" I looked up at him as my arm reached out to hand him his drink. "thank you" his voice was low as he looked down at me, I had yet to realise how close he actually got to me. I backed away slightly hoping he hadn't taken notice, though the smirk on his face indicated he did in fact notice. He stalked closer to me filling in the gap I had created. Though he wasn't much taller than me I still had to look up at him and his aura really was overpowering.

"you need anything else other than once again I cant stress this enough being taught boundaries" I spoke up my voice monotone in attempt to seem unbothered by his presence. He hummed quietly as if he was silently reading me before opening his mouth to speak up "I'm good love you can go for now." I nodded my head in response before turning and exiting the room.... quickly.

A couple days had past and finally it was Friday. Pros to the job I get weekends off and a good pay for doing basically nothing but the cons, The boss is a jackass who doesn't know the word boundary and is so fine that it makes me hate him less.

I tapped my desk impatiently waiting for the clock to hit 7. Turns out when Lyra said party on the weekend I boldly assumed Saturday but no she meant Friday, that isn't the weekend but I get two days to drink so I really cant complain. Finally it was time to go I grabbed my belongings before making my way to the lift. As I was walking I made the mistake of grabbing my phone to message Lyra. My luck I hit something hard... again. Though this time I was caught instead of falling on my ass.

"your observation skills are quite dreadful" An amused familiar voice spoke, returning me to my feet. I huffed backing away as I turned my gaze upwards "And yours are better? if you were looking you could've seen I was busy, incidentally, you could've moved out my way." I sighed pressing the button to the lift.

You could see the annoyance in his face every time I spoke he disliked my tone and attitude, I could even smell it and that made me happy. I smiled to myself surprisingly enjoying the fact I get under his skin so well. "I really do think you need some discipline cherry" his finger traced the outline of my jaw moving it to my bottom lip, which sends shivers down my spine.

I fanned his hand away in an attempt to escape his well whatever this is, "I have places to be so if you don't mind, Sir, please move" I gave him the most fakest smile I could conjure up and with that he moved out my way. "see you on Monday, cherry" I hummed in response. What is with that nickname... cherry?. I shook off all thoughts of him as I hurried home to get ready.

I'm pretty sure I was speeding the whole way home and how I didn't get caught is baffling but Lyra will have my head if I'm later than I already am getting home. I entered the house, Lyra was quick to give me a mouthful of lectures I just let them roll off me like water off a ducks back.

She handed me an outfit which included a tight short black dress, my ass was nearly visible. I gave her a dissatisfied look but to keep her happy I wore the dress, as for footwear there was no way I was wearing heels so I threw on my platform boots, To me they go better with a dress and of course fishnets under the dress because why not.

Lyra wasn't happy about my choice of footwear but I kept her happy wearing the dress. "Please tell me you're wearing the matching set under the dress too" She looked up at me with pleading eyes. "Just to keep you happy I did though I see no point wearing it when it's not like I'm wearing it for someone" I replied blatantly. "I know I know but you feel hot don't you?" She questioned with a smile.

I gave her a nod making her squeal, I do feel quite hot but I'd personally rather go on a night out in joggers and a hoodie but that's just me. "Taxi should be here in 10 minutes" Lyra spoke up downing the rest of her drink. I know she will be half gone by 10 pm and I'll be the one holding her hair as she hangs over the toilet bowl.
