BIG things in a SMALL world #wattys2017

After filing most of this junk alphabeticaly and placing them into files I knock on Mr Dawsons doors and he tells me to come in. I walk up to his desk and plonk myself down on one of the chairs and release a sigh

"How could you do that to yourself Mr Dawson? I am stuffed"

He chuckles

"How is it progressing?"

"I'm almost done, I'm up to the 'Y's', thank god I don't have to read any of it" I giggle

"Wow I thought that would take days"

"Well maybe depends on who you get to do it" I smile

"True. Your accent is cute" he mumbles

"Well thank you!"

"So since you've done an amazing job you can go early today"

I gasp "Really, wow thank you"

"No worries, I will see you bright and early. 8am no later Miss Smith" he says straightening his suit trying to be stern.

"Yes sir" I say and run out of his office to grab my stuff.

I reach the elevator and push the button for Michaels floor. I run to his office, he isn't there. Thinking he must be in a meeting I plonk down on his chair and start doodling on his pad paper.

I start swiveling his chair around and don't notice a man entering until he clears his throat. I stop suddenly and stare at the man

"Hello" he says with an accent but from where I don't know

"Hi"

"I'm Ben, Michaels assistant, you must be the lovely Anna?"

I nod my head and look at him cautiously

"Don't worry honey buns I won't attack you, I prefer my own kind if you know what I mean?"

I frown and look at him confused. He takes a seat in front of the desk and smiles.

"I'm gay honey"

Realisation spreads along my face and I mutter a quiet 'oh'.

"Michael should be here soon. You're a quiet one ain't ya?"

"Yes" still observing him

"You're quite handsome! Michael never let's me talk to his handsome friends. He says they are bad"

He laughs out loud

"Oh you are so cute I think I might keep you"

"No one is keeping her, not while I'm around" Michael says while walking in. He bends down and kisses my forehead then glares at Ben.

"Say no more boss" he nods and waves at me.

I smile back and wave as he leaves. I turn to Michael as he sits on his desk

"So sugar how did your first day go hm?"

"Well he is quite messy. I filed all his files and I just have to put them away, it was cool tho I'm so happy"

"That's good sugar, listen I heard from mum, she's not happy that I have neglected you, so I'm going to take you out to dinner tonight okay, Phill might join if that's alright"

"Oh bloody mama I told her not to bother you. But dinner sounds lovely"

"Great, I'll take you home now and pick you up around 7pm okay?"

"Okay"

'Mm so hungry'
