"Coffee?"
I looked confused at the beauty of a man standing before me with coffee beside him.
"Huh?" I blinked.
"I'm offering you coffee, why do you look so confused, its only coffee," my boss said casually.
'You're too god damn sexy' I thought.
"What?" A smile was plastered on my boss lips. Shit. I think I just said that out loud. Sigh.
"So, coffee?" He asked again, just at that moment my stomach choose to respond and the fact that pastries was in my line of vision, I automatically moved towards the table.
Chocolate.
Chocolate.
Fridging chocolate.
I didn't realize that I was stuffing my face carelessly with my boss looking at me amusingly. I laughed a little and slowed down. My boss handed me a cup of boiling hot coffee. I reach out to take it from him but it was too hot.
Seemingly in slow motion, the cut of coffee dropped out of my hand and fell on the ground, the cover flew off and the brown liquid splashed on my boss' white dress shirt. Suddenly all the playfulness disappear and an angry cloud stood over him, lightening an thunder flashed and rain started to fall on his head. I swear I saw steam coming from his ears.
I'm going to die. Lord, I'm sorry.
"Why are you so clumsy!" My boss shouted. I whimpered slightly. He looked up at me from looking at his now brown shirt with regret for shouting at me but I couldn't stand there. I scurried out of his office before he could say anything else.
"I'm sorry," I mumbled closing the door. I ran slightly out of that place with unshed tears. Memories.
"Hey little lady," I bounced in a wall that stood right in the hall way. Stupid wall, stupid building. I looked up ready to curse at the wall but was surprise to see my childhood friend- only childhood friend standing in front me.
"Steven, is that you?" I asked dumbfounded by his presence.
"The one and only," Steven laughed, engulfing me in a loving hug, I missed his hugs.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned Steven pulling away.
"Apparently, I'm the new supervisor on the third floor," he announced proudly.
"Your my new supervisor?" I asked shocked. I didn't expect to see him after this long, I hugged him again for the sake of it.
"So, what do you say about lunch, I'm starving,"
"Me too," I responded. He grabbed my hand and we made our way to the elevator. While going down, my mind ran back on my boss, my sexy boss, I sighed. I shouldn't be feeling this way but damn, he was delicious.
"Hey, Tiana," Steven said shaking me.
"I'm going to make a call, one sec."I nodded my head as he walked off in the other direction.
"Hey beautiful?" The front desk boy that I had talked to walked up to me, Jake. Yes that was his name.
"Umm hey?"
"I just came off my shift and was wondering, since its your lunch time if you'd like to have lunch with me,"
"I'm sorr..." I didn't get to finish my statement as Jeremy, my manager was suddenly behind me.
"So, you stood me up for this dude?"
"No, my boss.." Once again I was cut off.
"Are you ready Tiana?" Steven choose to come at the wrong time as Jeremy and Jake looked up at Steven.
Shit. I feel like my three boyfriends that I had been cheating on with each other just met each other and I was supposed to have an answer to all of them about why they all have it that I'm there girlfriend, one and only.
I stood in the middle of the three men, looking confused as ever.
Make an escape Kristina. Its now or never.
I pushed through and tried to speed out of the conversation between the three men.
"Tiana!"
"Beautiful!"
"Kristina!"
I heard my name being called my the handsome men behind me, my feet began to move quicker.
Escape it now Kristina. Run for your.... life.
I picked up as much speed in my black 5" heels could and made it for the door.
Closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Buff!Yep. This is life.
I made contact with a hard body, the person grabbed unto me to steady me but failed because of my clumsiness and we both toppled over, him on top of me. I groaned as my back began to ache.
That seemed to wake him up and the body lifted itself off me, standing and pulling me up with him. I closed my eyes as pain racked through my body.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," the voice said holding concerned.
I slightly opened my eyes to see a coffee stain on a white button up shirt.
Shit.
Just as I was about to respond, Jake, Steven and Kyle came running with angrier looking faces as my boss's hands held me steady around my waist.
"Mr. King," the three men addressed their boss with respect. Then looked down on me disapprovingly as my boss' hands where still around on me securely, I tried to move away but he only held me tighter.
"Would you mind letting me go now," I gritted my teeth and said under my breath so the three men didn't hear me but my boss didn't even to seem to recognize my words as he kissed my temple and looked at the three men before us.
"I would love to talk to you guys at the moment but the soon to be mother of my children is really hungry, now, if you'll excuse me, I would love to go and feed her," my boss said calmly with a glint in his eyes as he gripped my waist even tighter and moved towards the firm's door, I looked behind me to see the three men still in their previous position, mouth hanging, eyes bulging and immobile.
I looked up at my boss that didn't seem to be in an regret of what he just said, anger boiled within me, and I fisted my hands ready to take him on.
"Hush beautiful, you owe me," a laugh vibrated from his chest as he watched my anger fade away and confusion took over.
He pointed to the stain on his shirt with a scolding look. A smirk erupted his face at my expense.
He then stated proudly as I entered his Mercedes Bens,"I'm your devil baby, and your my sin."
