#7

I woke up early the next day with a bright smile on my face. Since the day Alec asked me to be his girlfriend I was feeling less lonely and happier. I got cleaned up and made pancakes for myself for breakfast. I hadn't had a nice breakfast as far as I can remember in weeks. I ate pancakes dripping with syrup to my satisfaction. After the breakfast, I spent half an hour just to select my outfit for the day. After taking a long bath, I dressed myself in a purple pencil skirt and a grey blouse. It was little chilly so I took out a black blazer coat. I put on makeup and straightened my hair leaving a few curls. After pinning them in a certain way, I put on my heels and coat and took my bag. Before leaving my apartment, I checked out my appearance and it was somewhat to my satisfaction.

I reached the office just in time so instead of going in to meet Alec I started doing my work. I was busy when the phone beside me rang and I picked it up.

"Ms. Adams, would you mind coming in here for a moment?" I heard his husky voice and had merely nodded when he hung up.

I got up, straightened my outfit and walked in the direction of his office. As I entered, I saw him leaning against his desk, probably waiting for me.

"You didn't even say hello to me this morning, Ms. Adams." He said flatly as I walked up to him.

"Umm, I was... I had work to do... So I thought I should get on it before people started talking." I stammered. He came close to me and snaked his arms around my waist causing me to stumble in him. He held me against his chest went on staring me while I dreaded about someone coming in and finding us in this position. I had asked Alec not to tell anyone about our relationship as I didn't want anyone to start talking about me or to make different kind of rumors.

"You look very beautiful today, Zoey." He breathed on my ear and I shivered with anticipation. He was few inches taller than me; I was wearing heels, I grimaced.

He leaned down and gently pulled me into a kiss. We kissed for few seconds and then pulled away breathing for air.

"What are you doing to me?" He murmured in my ear as he traced kisses on the side of my face.

"What is it that I do to you?" I asked teasingly. "I have work to do and you too."

"What do you say about lunch? My treat?" he asked hopefully.

"Shall we go?" He asked offering me his arm. I looked around, since it was lunch time there were quite few people and with a little hesitation I took it.

He took me to nearby restaurant as we had to come back in time for his next meetings as well. It felt nice, eating and talking with him with no other care in the world. We returned just in the nick of time. And I prepared for his next meeting and it all went well until... day was almost over or so I thought. I went to the washroom to check up on my appearance and to use as well. I had just gone in the stall when someone entered the washroom and started gossiping. I was just about to ignore but remained still when they mentioned my name.

"...that Zoey had it in her." someone had said making me freeze in my place.

"Yeah, do you really think that whatever they are saying is true?" The other voice said, it felt familiar, I didn't know who it was.

"Well duh, you'd be out of your mind to reject such a great opportunity. I just wish I was in her place, getting to f*ck the boss right on his office desk." The voice held resentment as well as hate and wish.

"I don't know. She is not like that." I knew that voice. It felt as if the light bulb went on in my mind and in knew who it was. It was Danielle.

"Yeah right." The girl scoffed at her. "I don't believe that. Don't you see the way they look at each other like they are going to jump and have sex right there? She is such a lucky bitch you know that?"
