BROKEN HEART

#8- CLUMSY BOSS

NICHOLAS' POV....

   The house was oddly quiet when I woke up, were they still at the store?. I thought and got up from the couch where I fell asleep.

    When I got close to the kitchen, I saw Sam working, she didn't seem to notice my footsteps and was so focused on what she was doing.

   She was squatting in front of the fridge.

my eyes involuntary examined her back, it was sunny today, so she was sweating a bit, I examined those little sweat crystals on the skin on her back for a moment, before she stood up and walked towards the sink.

She had a pretty back to be honest.

    I felt like a creep but somehow I couldn't take my eyes off her, I really need therapy for this.

    I watched her wrap her silky brown hair into a weak bun, so she could work properly.

She began washing the vegetables, and transferring them to a tray, I don't know why,but I felt the creepy urge to hug her from behind.

    I feel so disgusted at myself. I wanted to slap myself, I was able to control myself and finally looked away .

     Somehow this woman was able to steal my attention again because her bun got loose and allowed her hair to  cover her back.

     I was a bit annoyed, although it may sound weird , probably violating but I enjoyed watching her from behind , but her long hair didn't allow me to do that.

   I walked up to her quietly and picked her hair up she was a bit startled about my actions and turned to me.

    "Sir-" "Continue working". I ordered avoiding the confused gaze of her big brown eyes, I didn't want to be misled.

  She turned to continue, I could tell she was uncomfortable about our proximity so I immediately wrapped her hair with the ribbon I found nearby and left.

    When I got back into my room, I slapped my forehead in annoyance.

"What are you doing, going that close to your employee like that, it doesn't count as assault does it, I should go out more often so I can see her less, before I do something crazy to myself or even more; her."

SAMANTHA'S POV.....

   A couple of weeks had passed, I hadn't gotten the opportunity to tell Elijah about my new job, actually I had forgotten about it, he wasn't so angry because he was even less around these days.

   I spent nights alone, I had dinner alone too, it was like the shadow I once had as a boyfriend was beginning to fade away, I always wondered where he slept these nights when he wasn't around.

    On the bright side, Gabe's tuition was handled. Elijah hadn't touched my card for sometime, so I was able to start saving again, I'm trying so hard to fix my life back......

     I arrived in front of Nicholas' home, although he told me the code, I never really felt okay to open it myself.

    Nicholas opened the door for me and stepped aside for me to enter.

   "Good morning sir". I greeted with a smile , he nodded his head and pushed the door behind him.

  "You don't need to come here everyday, there isn't much to do anyway".

He suddenly said, making me pause my tracks. Previously, he was the one calling me to do even the most irrelevant things for him

He also asked me to come everyday and now what?, why's he fluctuating like that, I bet he could see the confusion in my eyes.
