Saved By The One & Only

I'll see you tomorrow

Amy's POV:

"I see." Is all that manages to escape my mouth when he finishes the story about Cristina.

"I understand this may be a lot for you to take in all at once, so I'll keep my word." He walks up to me and my body instantly stiffens as I didn't have enough time to react to his approach.

He's in front of me and as we're staring at each other he continues to speak.

The proximity with how close he is to me is skewing my perception. The only thing I can think about is his mouth. His lips.

I want them on me.

STOP IT!!! Snap out of this. What is happening to me?!

"I'll be going now." He finishes the sentence which causes me to realize that I actually don't want him to leave.

His scent is so intoxicatingly strong that I practically can almost feel my knees buckling any second from now.

His eyes trail lower and just as they reach my lips, my front doorbell rings.

I've never been one to turn a friend down as they arrive.

But really? Of all times this is the moment Mikayla decides to show up.

The doorbell ringing breaks our stare and it allows me to take a step back, out of his scent. It's enthralling and whenever i'm near him, it's like my brain stops working.

His mood instantly changes as the doorbell continues to ring and I can tell that he's visibly angry.

He turns around and walks off in the direction of my front door as I'm calling after him, but I quickly decide to grab a pair of PJ pants and I quickly put them on.
Considering that may be Mikayla at the door and I can't imagine what may cross her mind if she finds us this way.

My goodness. My face is flushed enough already and yet I can feel my cheeks heat up even more at the sudden thought of someone else thinking I've had sex with him.?! With Mr. Anderson....

Just as I reach the living room, I notice that he's opening the door only to reveal Aiden is behind it.

"Aiden.?!" I blurt out confused as to how he's here right now. He also seems a bit confused as to why Mr. Anderson is here.

"What are you doing here?!" I question him quickly, in fear that Mr. Anderson would respond.

"I need to talk to you... alone." He casually states while saying the word 'alone' and looking at Mr. Anderson.

"Not happening." Mr. Anderson responded before I could get a word out.

"Is there a reason why you're here?! Aren't you her boss? I've never quite met a boss who makes a personal house call." Aiden says to him while entering my apartment.

Mr. Anderson takes a step forward before responding.

"She's mine. Does that answer the question for you?"

Aiden's face changed from cheeky to anger within a split second just as Mikayla and Josh walk through the door observing what is happening.

Did he just?!!

"Aiden, please... now is not the time. I'll get in touch with you tomorrow." I say to him in the hopes that he walks away.

I fear that Mr. Anderson may do something to him.

Josh assesses the situation and walks towards Mr. Anderson while standing behind him, clearly taking sides on the matter.

"You need her to repeat it again?!" Mr. Anderson speaks with a similar tone to the night of the club; when we were in the elevator and he spoke to the man in the tacky white and gold suit.

"Are you gonna be the one to put me out?" Aiden responds, only adding more fuel to the flame.

Mr. Anderson takes a step closer and in fear for his life I practically run forward and get in front of Mr. Anderson with my back facing Aiden.

Mr. Anderson doesn't look at me at first until I speak.

"Please.... Don't." He finally looks down at me and our eyes lock as I plead to him with my eyes in the hopes that he understands, that I want no one to get hurt.

"Sir, I think it's best that you leave now." Josh says behind us.

A beat passes before anyone speaks up, and Aiden is the first one to speak.

"Amelia, I'll only leave if you let me know that you are absolutely safe with these people?"

"Well of course she's safe with us?!" Mikayla says all though I don't think anyone could miss the hurt behind her words, after hearing what Aiden just asked.

I turn around to face him and tell him that I am safe and that he shouldn't worry.

****************

"You and I aren't done talking." Mr. Anderson says to me in his usual authoritative tone, while staring into my eyes as he's in the entryway of my apartment.

"Okay." Is all I can manage after the debacle that just occurred and all of the convincing that it took for Mr. Anderson to agree to leave me here in my apartment for the night. Seeming as though he wasn't too keen on the fact that Aiden now knows where I live.

I'm ready to just lay down and go to sleep until all of this just disappears.

"I'll be back for you tomorrow morning by 5am."

"Did something happen at the office? Or with one of the mergers?" I ask eagerly, because anything at this point that is related to work, and can distract me from all of this is what I look forward to.

Anything really.... to take me away from this.

He chuckles before responding.

"Everything is fine, just make sure that you're ready."

I nod my head in agreement.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He says as we walks away.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I respond back, as I close the door, knowing that I now have Mikayla's questions to answer.

As I turn around I notice that Mikayla has a serious smirk on her face as she gestures for me to meet her at the island.
