Strictly Business

4

I got home and changed. I saw a note on the counter and it said, " I'm out with Ryan. See you tonight. Ps I think he might propose."

Ryan was her boyfriend of 6 years. They were high school sweethearts and voted most likely to get married in the yearbook our senior year.

I hopped in my car and drove back to work.

I went back to last night when me and Carter kissed. I played it through my head over and over just kissing him. Carter owens. Wait did I just think about kissing Mr. Owens?

I imagined kissing Jay and feeling sparks. But then I imagined kissing Mr. Owens and everything bad I've been feeling just floated away. My body was filled with electricity and I got goose bumps every where.

God no! This is your boss snap out of it. Besides he's a no good bird brain.

I parked and walked in. Now I was wearing skinny jeans with a purple tank top and converse. There's no way that's out "dresscode"

I walked to Mr. Owens office.

"Is this better."
"No" He groaned Ina monotone voice without even looking up from his computer.
"What does that mean? It doesn't reveal anything!"
"Exactly."
"Huh?"
"You really want to know why I asked you to change?"
"Yeah it would be helpful!" I shouted.
"I don't want other guys to look at you." He said finally looking up at me.

What does that mean? Oh my god. This ain't good.

"Well I'm not your girlfriend or your property so you can't tell me how to dress." I said stomping my foot.

"Yeah but I am your sexy boss that can fire you and replace you."
"You wouldn't dare."
"You're right I enjoy the view too much." he said scanning me up and down and winking at me.

"You disgust me." I walked out and turned around.

"Oh and you might not want to stare at my butt when I walk away." I said.

He winked again and I just can't deny his hotness when he winks. Man I really need some help.

"I'm not done with you!" He said as I started to leave.
"Ugh." I walked back in his office.
"Close the door." I did so and he stood up.

"What are you-"
"Shh." He stroked my jawbone and whispered in my ear.

"How old are you?"
"I'm 22. Why do you ask Mr. Owens." I said nervously.
"Call me carter when you come into my office. And I was curious."

"Well how old are you, Carter?" I said obviously not comfortable being in this situation.
"I'm 26."

He leaned in and so did I. It was the heat of the moment and I didn't know what else to do.

The door opened just as we were about to kiss and we both jumped.

"Hey babe."
"Hey carter." The Bimbo from yesterday said.
"Madelyn if you don't mind I have some business to take care of." He said winking at whatever her name was.

I angrily walked out and went into my office. I did today's orders and walked back to Carters Office to get some more coding and stuff to do.

I tried to open the door but it was locked. I wiggled the knob and the noise from inside stopped.

"Hold on I got to get this."

Carter opened the door and I noticed something on the floor. It was the woman's thong. What the actual heck has he been doing.

"Okay I see you two are busy." I said using quotation marks when I said the word busy.

"Oh it's not what it looks like." he said nervously.

"Yeah sure."

"She doesn't under stand that we are in love now does she Carter." the girl in there said.

"Yeah whatever."
"Okay well you two can go back to doing the nasty and I'll just walk away."

I walked away not being able to recognize the emotion I was feeling. It was like a combination of regret, anger, and sadness.

I walked to my office to find a very adorable Jay sitting on my desk with a bouquet of roses.

"Jay, you shouldn't have."
"Well I couldn't help myself." he said smiling. I was obviously blushing and had forgotten about the Facade that happened just moments earlier.

"Come here." he pulled me into a bear hug and I could smell his Gucci cologne.

Even after only a few days of knowing each other, we had this weird connection that not even me and Ella had.

"You know, I like you." he said.
"Well I'd be stupid not to like you back." I said giggling.

"Well I was thinking..." He said hugging me from the back.
