Save me from the darkness (boyxboy)

chapter 8

it's not much and its not edited but i wanted to give you guys something.

I felt giddy as the elevator doors opened and I found myself on stark's floor again. I wasn't here to actually talk to him but i felt nervous that there is even the possibility of seeing him. With a stack of manilla folders in hand, I walked up to Bella's desk. she seemed to engrossed with whatever she was doing on her computer to notice me so instead of waiting for her to notice me or gently getting her attention I dropped all the folders in my hand on her desk, successfully making a loud noise causing Bella to jump and let out a squeak of surprise.

I couldn't help but laugh at her reaction, which only caused her frown at me to deepen. "Asshole. You almost gave me a heart attack!"

I chuckled a bit before replying "keyword: Almost,". She crossed her arms pretending to be angry while trying to bite back a smile. I smiled widely at her "come on, you can't be mad at me. i was only messing," The smile she had been attempting to hold back finally made its way onto her face.

"What are you doing here anyway? I don't have you scheduled to meet with Mr.Bane today." I pointed to the documents that I had threw down on her desk.

"The supervisor likes to think of me as his messenger so he always sends me to take documents wherever," I said with a sarcastic tone and a slight role of my eyes.

" Why doesn't he just get one of the floor assistants to do it?"

"thats what ive been saying! He says that they have 'more important' things that they're doing." i huffed putting air quotes around 'more important'. she scoffed and shook her head silently agreeing with me. I sighed and looked down at my watch "well I guess I better be getting back to work,"

"oh, you're not gonna go greet your man real quick" my head snaps up at her. she has a smug grin on her face and i feel my cheeks go pink.

"what do you mean 'my man'?"

"i know about your little date that you two had last night," she says matter of factly.

"It wasn't a date! he just took me to dinner, i'm sure he's done that to multiple employees in the past" i said trailing off sadly at the end. she smiled a bit more.

" it was totally a date, he never takes random employees to dinner. actually i think i'm the only employee he's ever taken to dinner and that's always work related or his way of saying 'sorry for overworking you'" i was about to reply when the door to starks office opened. Stark walked out briskly.

"Bella! have they sent up those files ye- oh hey Oliver, what brings you here?" Stark said smiling when he noticed me. I blushed and looked away from his dominating gaze.

"Oli here was bringing up those files you were just making a ruckus for," she said pointedly. despite his dark skin I could tell he was blushing a bit. he rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly at me.

"Thank you for bringing these up here," He said with a bright smile. i gave a small smile and nod and turned to walk away desperately wanting to avoid the awkwardness of the situation. Before I could take a step i felt a large rough hand latch onto my wrist gently. i turned back and saw none other than Stark holding my wrist. He was staring into my eyes and looked like he was contemplating what he was going to say.

I gave a gentle encouraging smile. "Will you go on a date with me tomorrow after work?" he asked nervously "I understand if you don't want to, i mean we did just go out yesterday," he rambled losing his composure for a second. i smiled at how cute he was being.

"yes," I said so quietly i almost didn't hear myself. he stopped talking and a giant smile broke onto his face. He nodded at me and kissed my hand gingerly.
