I can't focus at work or when i am home, i talked to mom and she noticed and it's pretty bad.My boss is infuriating and tiring and the reason why i am failing to focus . How could he just come into my life and complicate things?To make things worse i have a project that i need to finish ASAP and it's just going great.To make matters worse he seems to be always in my office somehow and i am human after all,wayward thoughts are inevitable.As i struggle to get through my day i realise it's like time is an ally with him because these seem to be the longest days of my life and i mean even in college the days never went this slow even when Prof Malloy was teaching and just so you know he wasn't the youngest ever but the guy knew his stuff.

As i pack my stuff getting ready to head home i hear the door open and i instantly know it's him don't ask me how feels like i have a radar for his sole existence.In many ways it sucks and in one way my heart forgets to function when he is around.Hey Lex are you planning on sleeping here tonight? I turn, confused as ever i just decide to look at him and he goes just checking so that i can let security know that i have a wonderful employee who just loves to be here all the time.Sounds like he's mocking my work ethics and i am on the verge of killing him but then unless if my eyes have lasers i sadly can not accomplish my desire. So i just sigh and turn to packing my stuff.Sooooo are you staying or going he says. Really, really you came all this way just to ask me that and annoy me Sir i say, the last part with a sweet voice. Uhm yeap popping the p at the end and he continues like nothing happened so Lexie do you wanna grab dinner sometime like now he says with a sheepish look and i laugh like really a totally heart felt laugh.I mean Mr KIA (KNOW IT ALL) handsome and all beautiful wants to have dinner with me.After i compose myself i say so do i need to bring the recent account files with me. No he replies quickly just you and no work talk tonight i could use a break. I am confused as to why he would want to have dinner with me.I am not beautiful or sexy like the girls he would seem to date.I am practically not even considered a woman in life."May i ask why i need to go to dinner with you sir" i say.He smiles and says i just want to take you out to dinner Lex its not like i want to kidnap you and i freeze that word just scares me so i just comply and ask him where we are going. Mr Black please give me the address i will meet you there wherever we are going.

Can i drive you and we can always come back and pick your car up once we are done and i argue until he realises he is not winning and we end up going in our separate cars. I am a strong woman i keep the mantra in my head, i need to know that i will be able to get myself out a situation and i don't believe that woman need to just chill and let the men do the job. I always think grow a pair should be grow a vagina because owning that is a job on its own. Anyway i know you are dying to know where we went.He took me to the Italian joint by my place and somehow it's his favourite place and i have no complaints i love their food deeply. We ate and talked and talked, i actually found that I love his company and would not mind having at least a friend in this world.The way he acts is totally different from the way he normally is and its both exhilarating and terrifying on how he feels like two different people but the same at the same time.

As we leave the restaurant he drives behind me a few blocks to make sure that I get home safe and that the sweetest thing that ever happened to me.Exiting my car I wave goodbye while he waits for me to get inside safely.
