Smoke

Chapter 6

(Slight update)

"Sorry" I said hurriedly as I stood up to answer the door. It was Rachel. Of course.

"Come in" I said, despite my anger at her being here. I trailed behind her and motioned for Benedict to stand up to let her sit. He looked somewhat confused, but did it anyway.

She sat down in the chair and waited for me.

"I'll be one minute, Mrs Corner." I said as I closed the door.

"Can we go to your office to talk instead?" I said quietly so no one else heard.

"Of course." He said and motioned for me to walk in front of him. Probably so he could look at my ass because I had bought a new suit with this month's pay. I'm only kidding. He's a real gentleman when he wants to be.

I pushed open the door and sat down at the desk. Benedict sat in his chair opposite me.

"Well, what I was going to say was that I can't stop thinking about you either." His face lit up. "But, what you did, was pretty horrific. I don't think I'll ever forget that." I said, staring into his eyes.

"Look, that was a mistake Izzy. I didn't mean to hurt you that bad. I really am sorry. But I do have feelings for you and they're a lot greater than I thought." He replied, also looking into my eyes.

"I don't know whether I can forgive you yet." I said, looking down. "You hurt me bad. That's why I've been a bitch to you for this past month. It's my way of coping with what you did."

"I get that." He said with a disappointed look on his face.

"I should probably get back to Rachel now." I say, standing up.

"Yes..." He replied, not looking at me.

I left his office, closing the door behind me. I smiled on my wayback to my office. I opened the door and sat down at my desk.

"Sorry about that Rachel, shall we get started?" I asked.

I got home and sat on the sofa for a while. The Big Bang Theory was on but I didn't watch it. I literally just sat there, thinking about what happened today. He does actually like me.

I looked at the time. 9:45 pm. I should probably get to bed. I got up off the sofa and went to bed.

*beep beep beep* My alarm sounds.

For once, I'm not struggling to get out of bed. Which is good, because I usually hate mornings and therefore I used to lie in a lot, which would make me late.

I stand up and walk down the hall to my kitchen. I scroll through Facebook as I walk and I come to the "people you may know" section. I don't know why, but I always love scrolling through these. I see quite a lot of people I know but hardly ever add them. I scroll through and I find Benedict. Oh my god really? Haha this is ironic, I think to myself. Should I add him? No that's kinda weird. I'll wait for him to add me first.

I make my cereal and sit at the table to eat it. I carry on scrolling through Facebook. *buzz buzz* I look at my phone, I have a friend request. Benedict?! Oh wow this is so weird. I take a second to think before I click accept. After about 5 seconds, I click it. I giggle.

I stand up, put my bowl and spoon in the dishwasher and walk back to my room and get dressed and ready for work. I grab my briefcase and head out the door.

I have my music in, I'm listening to "Happy Together" by the Turtles. I love this song so much. It's supposed to be a happy song, but I see it as quite dark in some ways. I stand at the bus stop and wait for my bus. A few minutes pass and the bus still hasn't come. Damn it, I'm going to be late is this bus doesn't get here! I think to myself. A black Bentley Continental GT stops at the bus stop. The window rolls down and I see a familiar face, Benedict.

"Hey, Izzy. Want a lift to work?" He asks.

"That would be wonderful, thanks." I say as I climb into his immaculate car.

"This is a really nice car, Benedict." I say as he drives to work.

"Thank you. I love it." He says in reply.

"So how come you came past my stop?" I asked, curiosity had gotten the better of me.

"This is the way I always go to work, Izzy." He replied with a slightly different tone in his voice.

"Is it? How come you've never seen me there before?" I ask.

"I don't know. It's strange." He replies.

"Yeah it is. Oh well." I say as we pull into a parking spot. "There sure ate a lot of buttons in this car." I laugh.

"Yeah there are. Want me to show you what they do?" He asked.

"Sure!" I said, excitedly.

He looks at the time. "Shit!" It's 8:30. "I'll show you later. We've got to go!" He says as he gets out the car. I get out too and follow him into the building. I start to walk over to the lift when Benedict grabs my hand. I turn around and look at him with a confused expression.

"This way." He whispers, as he leads me round the corner. There's a small hallway that we walk down until we get to an elevator. We both walked inside and Benedict presses the button. He steps back and looks forward. He glances over at me, I pretend I don't see as he looks away again. I walk over to him slowly, he doesn't know I'm right next to him.

I put both hands on the side of his face and pull him towards me. I stare into his eyes for a moment before he smashes his lips onto mine. He spins both of us around so that I'm against the wall of the elevator. He pushes me up against it, both his hands on my waist, traveling upwards. His hands almost reach my breasts when-

*ding*

We both launch ourselves away from each other just as the door opens. Benedict clears his throat, straightens his tie and walks out. I follow behind him and walk into my office, both of us not saying a word.

~So, pretty exciting huh? Please leave a comment to tell me what you think!~
