Strictly Business

"Well I was thinking...Maybe we could go on a second date?"
"I thought you'd never ask!" I said hugging him.

"How about tomorrow night? I'll come pick you up." he said with a wink.

"Perfect." I kissed him and we walked back to our offices.

I sat down and worked on the Google app update, doing hit some basic coding and framework.

"Um madelyn." a seemingly nervous voice said from behind me.

I turned around and immediately rolled my eyes. Carter.

"What do you want."
"Ooh and she spews her venom." he said sarcastically.
"Shut up."

"Okay back to the point . Can you keep your mouth shut about what happened earlier?"
"Oh could you get fired?" I said cluelessly but obviously knowing the answer.

"Don't play dumb."
"I mean I guess I could call the head of the board and talk to him about it."

"No. You wouldn't." Narrowing his eyes at me.
"Well I can't make any promises."
"Well I'll make sure that you do." Basically shooting lasers into the back of my head when I turned around.

He closed the door and locked it.

"Why did you lock the door?" I was getting scared.

"Well your going to promise."
"Okay I promise." I said nervously.
"That's not enough sweetheart." man oh man did he sound hot but he might hurt me.

"Please don't hurt me."
"Oh why would I hurt someone so beautiful?" He grabbed my hand and brought me to my feet. He pinned me against the wall.

"Please dont."
"Shh."
He cupped my face and kissed me passionatly. I couldn't help but kiss back.

We pulled away for air.

"Woah."
"I know I'm a good kisser you don't have to say so." he said ever so cockily. His cockiness makes him even cuter but his jerkiness takes like 50% away.

We kissed again but this time it was lighter. I felt wrong for doing jay like this. After all he's one of the sweetest boys I've ever met.

I pulled away.

"No. Don't back out now."

"I'm- I am so sorry. I led you on but I have to go. I'm seeing someone right now."

"He doesn't have to know."
"Please just let me go." I was beginning to get frustrated.

All of the sudden someone knocked three times on the door.

"Madelyn? Everything okay in there?"

"Please let me go." I pushed Carter away and opened the door.
"Yeah Jay. Cart- I mean Mr. Owens was just leaving.

"Um I'll talk to you later about those graphs Madelyn." Carter said leaving the room.

"Did he do anything to you?"
"No I'm fine he was just showing me these graphs and stuff.

"You can tell me if he did something. You know that right?"
"Of course."

"How bout we move that date to Friday. Just so we can stay out later than usual."

"Yeah that's totally fine!"
"Okay I guess I'll see you on Friday."

I closed the door to my office and fell to the floor while crying. I had never ever been in a situation like this.

Jay was so nice and handsome but there was something oddly familiar. Carter was handsome and sure had his way with the ladies. Wait... why am I even comparing them? I like Jay.

I stopped crying and started working on my computer again. After a few hours I clocked out and headed out to my car.

I opened my car door but some one grabbed me by the waist and clasped their hand over my mouth.

I tried to scream but I couldn't. They spun me around and my jaw dropped.

He took his hand off of my mouth.

"Mr. Owens! Why did you do that."
"I told you to call me carter."
"Okay... Carter, why did you do that?"

"I told you I wasn't done with our little meeting baby."
"I'm not your baby."

He pushed me against my car and kissed me. A jolt of electricity shot through my body. He made me feel something I've never felt before.

We both pulled away for air. We breathed heavily for a minute silently communicating with just eye contact and grunting noises.

"What was that for Carter?"
"Just trying to have a little fun." he said moving his hands down to my waist.

"God dang it Carter leave me alone!"
"What's the matter with you?"
"You're using me."
"No you're not like that rat I play with. Shes just for fun. Besides I broke our so called 'relationship' after you caught us in the act."

"Okay but i can't do this."
"Madelyn. I felt a spark. A spark I've never felt with any other girl before! I know you felt it too." he said with desperation lingering in his beautiful blue eyes.

"No." I said lying.
"Huh?"
"I said no. As in I didn't feel anything." I lied. I just felt so bad for playing Jay like that. I needed to be with jay.

"Let's talk. Just let me sit down in the car with you." I nodded and I unlocked the driver and passenger sides of the car.

He hopped in the passenger side.

"Listen I understand if your scared of us."
"What do you mean by us?"
"I mean dating an older man."
"Carter you're only four years older than me."
"I know but I'm making excuses can't you see?"

"Yeah kind of." I said smiling.
"See you have a flawless smile."
"I said I can't do this." I said looking away.

"Why not?" He shouted.
"I'm seeing someone carter! Why can't you see that! I don't want you, I want jay." I screamed. I wasn't mad I just wanted it to seem that way so he would leave me be.

"O-o- okay. I'm sorry Madelyn. I'll just go. Goodnight."
"Carter, I'm sorry."
"No it's fine. Can I have just one more kiss?"

"Carter..."
"Please. Just one more so I can remember."
"Please, don't get me started again. It's for the best."
"Fine madelyn." he slammed the door a walked to his car which was two cars away.

When he got in, he put his head in his hands and seemed upset. He turned his head, looked me in the eye and mouthed the words 'I'm sorry' and he drove off.

It's not his place to be involved with me right now. I know he's just a player and that's all I need to keep him away from me for while. But little did I know, that wouldn't last for long.
