Melanie
I rushed out of his office towards my cubical to grab the remaining for my belonging. "Hey Melaine Sums. I should really apologize.. I don't know what came over me" Bryson walks out of his office. I played with my fingers as he walked closer to me. My body is getting really hot and my blood feels like it's boiling. Why am I so nerve around him all of a sudden? "Umm Mr.Tiller. It's ok you didn't mean to kiss me"
"But I did. You see Melanie I like you.i have liked you since the day I hired you." He smiled grabbing ahold of my hand. I gave a sly smile to him as I walked towards the elevator. "Um Mr. Tiller I need to go home. I'll see you tomorrow" I said quickly stepping inside the elevator the smacked my palm on the button to close it. How will I tell my boyfriend my boss kissed me...

"Zayn isn't here😥" I pout remembering he had drill tonight as I laid out on the couch trying to get into a comfortable position. I looked at my phone to see that I missed a few calls from my friend. Great she can be the first person to tell my boss kissed me and maybe she can guide me in a way to tell Zayn what happened...
Bryson
I sigh sitting down at Melanie's desk playing with her scarf she forgot to grab. Putting it up to my nose I inhaled the scent of her perfume. "This smells amazing" I mumbled taking another whiff before placing the scarf next to her laptop. I know she has feeling for me. I felt a connection more of a spark when our lips pressed together. I don't know why she acted like she didn't like that it then ran out of my office like Usain Bolt. She was practically flirting with me by sitting really close to me then climbed on me in attempt to grab the pizza box. I know she likes me and I'm going to do everything in my power to make her admit it to me.
The next day
"I need you to fix this. I see a few error in the second paragraph" I handed the paper back to one of my male workers. "Yes sir. I'll get on it" he nods then walks out. I sigh looking up at my clock that read 11:02am. Melanie still isn't here. She isn't the one to be almost an hour late. I stood up out if my chair walking out of my office towards her cubical. "Mr. Tiller" I turn to see Melanie dressed in her normal work attire. "Melanie Sums. Why are you so late?" I frown at her. She lets out a soft sigh avoiding eye contact with me. "I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again" she whispered slowly looking up at me. "In my office now" I stared her down before walking back in my office with her following behind me. She shuts the door behind her then sits in the chair. "Mr. Tiller. I'm so sorry for showing up late. I am just stressed right now. My-" she sigh out weakly. "What's wrong?" I asked sitting down next to her. "It's nothing sir. Ca- may I go back to my desk now?" She asked standing up. I gave her a small nod watching her leave me in my office wondering why she's acting so quite and absent. I noticed when she made eye contact with me. I sensed she wasn't all there. She's distort in a way. I'll keep an eye on her as the day goes by. Sitting behind my desk again looking over Melanie's papers which I promised myself I'd do the very same day she gave them to me but never did because I was too caught up in talking to her. Focusing on work will make me relax a bit and not think so much of the kiss we shared. My mind keep replaying the moment I kissed her over and over again. "Ugh I can't focus like this. I need her to tell me she felt something just like I did when we kissed. I know she felt it" I groan slamming my hands on the desk. Calm down Bryson just breath. I kept telling myself as I stared at my phone scrolling through my contacts in search for her number. I sent a quick text phone. I watched as her glances at her phone then goes back to typing away at her laptop. So she's ignoring me now. I wanted to get up out of my chair then drag her in my office and smack so sense into her for doing that to me. But I'd never do something like that in a building full of my workers. To many witnesses.
Melanie
I glanced at my phone as it vibrated in the hopes of it being Zayn. He didn't come home this morning and I'm worried something may have happen at the drill he was having. But it wasn't my boyfriend that I'm mentally going crazy over, instead it was my boss that kissed me then confessed he likes me minutes later.
Mr. Tiller 😐: Are you ok? Listen you can talk to me. Was it the kiss we shared? Are you upset at me about it? Mel bear talk to me.
Mel bear😳 how does he know my nickname? The nickname Zayn says when he knows I'm mad at him. I look at him sitting in his office chair. He waves at me giving me a small smile. Yo I'm so creeped out right now. The only why he'd know about that is if he was snooping through my stuff. I shook my head going back to my report. My phone vibrates again and this time it was my Zayn. I screamed on the inside as he double texted me.
Zayn🔐: hey baby I'm sorry. We had to stay later then I expected
Zayn🔐: I'm on my way home now. I know you were probably worrying about liddo me. But I'm ok baby. Love you 💕
I couldn't hold my tears in as I picked up my phone about to text him back but my friend walks into my cubical. "Hey mà have you told Zayn about that kiss?" She asked leaning on my desk. "No I didn't get a chance to tell him. He did come home last night. He just texted saying he's coming home." I stood up then lean in her ear. "I think Mr. Tiller is stalking me or at least starting to" I said then say back down in my chair. "Why do you think he's stalking you" the putting air quotes on the word stalking. "Because he texted me and called me Mel bear. Zayn only calls me that and I have an apology letter that Zayn wrote me somewhere in here where he called me that" I said scrummaging through my desk. I pull the letter out handing it to her. "I see towards the end he called you Mel bear. But I don't think he'd stalk you Melanie. Just relax" I nod "yea you're right. I'll stop tripping. Thanks mà" I smiled as she walked back to her cubical. I texted Zayn back saying I loved him more and that I'm glad he's ok. I smiled wiping the dry tears off my cheek then confidently walked into Mr. Tiller office. "Yes Melanie Sums" he looked up at me. "I just came in here to say that I'm sorry for the way I've acted and that I won't come late again." I told him standing by his desk. He eyes me up and down slowly before speaking. " you did not seem all here when I tried asking what was wrong." I sigh " I was just stressing over my boyfriend. But I'm fine now. I'll go back to song my work."
"No! I mean no stay. I think we need to talk on what happened last night. The situation we have been avoiding"
"Whats that situation"
"The kiss we shared Melanie"
"Do we have too? We shouldn't dwell on this Mr. Tiller. It was just a small kiss nothing serious. No meaning behind it"
"No meaning behind it. Yes there was and you know there was a spark behind that kiss" I back up from his desk staring at him. He moves away from his desk walking closer to me. "Mr. Tiller, um Bryson" I stop so I wouldn't hit my back on his office door. "How can you say there wasn't a spark behind it. You felt it. You had to feel it." He grabs my hand pulling me to him. I'm starting to feel really uncomfortable in his hug. Should I just lie and say I felt something to get away from him or tell him I didn't feel anything and see what will come from telling him the truth?
