Crysella Ariela

For some reason, I missed his cold demeanor and his presence. But today is finally the day that I get to see him again. With that being said, I wanted to impress him by wearing one of the dress my auntie gave me on my 18th birthday but I really didn't get the chance to actually wear it because back when I was in school, I was that type of girl that would sit in the corner while reading a book. Now, I know I said that I hate wearing dresses but I just wanted to let him notice me even though I know we are untouchables. I know that he would never go for a girl like me when he can have the super models waiting for him, but maybe there is a spark of hope.

The dress came down just above my knees though it looks pretty decent other than girls wearing skimpy dresses. It had a lacy pattern around my waste which makes my stomach slightly visible. I finished it off with my white pumps which had straps to prevent from falling off. My hair is pretty​ simple but elegant. I started off by dividing my hair, the upper part and lower part. I take the upper half and braided it just like how normal braids are done but with more style. I didn't bother with makeup, I just added powder and bit my bottom then upper lip to make it naturally red.

Then I am finally done. During my 18th birthday as mentioned. Dresses was not the only thing I received as a gift but including a car. My mother and father bought me a Mercedes E Class Convertible which you seem is not much but I promise you that I am very thankful because when I didn't have a car, all I did was walking. I can't catch up to the bus because my shift usually starts at nine in the morning and it leaves eight or before that. My parents taught me how to become independent because just as my mother said. "Eventually your father and I will die. You should be able to support yourself in the future where you are already matured." That is partly the reason why I am living alone in the apartment whereas the other reason, I wanted to be independent on myself and my parents allowed my decision. In just a month, they will come to New York to visit me which I am very excited.

Sitting behind my desk as the door swung open. His presence greeted me. Expecting a greeting but instead received a cold stare. I couldn't help but sent him a curious gaze as to why he was acting such to me. Ignoring the way he treated me, I greeted him while flashing a smile. "Good morning Sir Solas, would you like anything?"

"Just a coffee, Miss Ariela." I frowned at his bluntness. So now we are based on surnames? I stood up and stomped my foot. Childish I know but man, seriously? Slamming the door behind me as I made my to the coffee maker. Stupid coffee, stupid him, stupid everyone, stupi-

"Fucking hell." Too bothered with my thoughts. I crashed into a wall and fell on my bum. "Who the fuck builds a wall in the middle of the hallway."

"I don't think I'm a wall Miss." Oh great, now I'm going crazy. Is the wall talking to me? The heck? Maybe I should go for a check-up. More or less a mental hospital where crazed people like me exists. I noticed a pair of sleek looking shoes that matches his grey trousers then trailing my eyes upward, a polo shirt is neatly tucked in. If this was those cliche moments in high school where a nerd bumps into someone and their books fell then you slowly pick them up and held their hand. Soon the both of you are going to be best friends and it will turn into something more. My eyes finally stopped to his defined jawline up to his pink lips with a small amount of freckles that had him look so adorable!

"Oh my Lord, you are one adorable man!" I gushed at him as I pinched his cheeks. His ears tinged with the shade of scarlet red as his face flushed. "Aww, you look even more adorable when you blush. I want to keep you!"

"Oh uh umm, thank you?" He scrunched up his face and scratched the back of his head as he turned even more adorable! His pair of eyes have a pair of emerald ones that will perfectly give the description of a well-trimmed grass that serves as a blanket on the pasture. Okay Crys, stop acting so childish.

I smiled at him and extend my hand out. "Hello! I am Crysella and I want to be your friend because you are really adorable and you are now my best friend!" He took it willingly and sent me a warm smile.

"Hello princess, I am Aerux." I blushed at the pet name and stood there awkwardly. Taking compliments made me unsteady and of course, awkward. "So why were you so pissed? Is it because of the boss?" I nodded at him curiously as to why he would've guessed that.

"Nah don't mind it. I'll be heading my way now. Oh and nice to meet you Aerux, I hope we get to chat again sometime." He grinned cheekily at me and said. "Of course princess, anything for my best friend." He sent me a wink and turned his way. Oh what an adorable man.

"Here is your coffee Sir Solas." I emphasized the call name and placed his coffee on the table. "I don't like black coffee Miss Ariela. Please do your job properly next time or you're fired." Too shocked at his rudeness. I glared at him and picked the mug back.

"If you at least told me what coffee you like then there should be no problems now, right?" I mumbled to myself and began to turn my heels when he stopped me.

"What was that again?"  I clenched my teeth while holding the mug tightly. I'm sure any minute now it would break. So instead of turning into Anger from one of the characters of Inside Out. I spoke calmly and sent a fake smile at him. "Nothing Sir, I will be heading now and get your coffee." I wanted to add stupid but that will just get me into bigger trouble.

Going back to the place where his stupid coffee is made. I angrily downed the wasted coffee and threw it in the bin. I don't give a damn if it's from a fucking antique. He can buy a stupid mug. After all, he is a wealthy man who can afford such a small object.

Once more, I took a peek at the cupboard. Numerous jars filled with different contents like white coffee, brown coffee and etc. Looking for the black one, I found it at the far end corner as I took a hold of it making sure not to drop it and placed it on the counter. Opening the lid, the smell of the black coffee filled my nostrils. Placing three tablespoon of the powder, I grab the jar where the sugar is placed. Taking the cap off, I placed a teaspoon of sugar on the mug while slowly mixing it with the black coffee. I grabbed the thermos and opened the cap covering the container and gently poured the hot liquid making sure that it will not burn my skin. Stirring the contents inside the mug as I stare at it waiting for it to dissolve as it turned into a gust of wind. Once it was done, I grab a small platter and placed it beneath the mug then made my way to his office.

I hesitatingly knock on the door as a faint 'come in' can be heard that the human ear can detect the audible sound. Twisting the door knob open, the cold atmosphere once greeted me. "Here is your cup of coffee Sir." I placed the mug gently as he stare intently at me. "You may leave now Miss Ariela." Wow, no 'thank you' then. How respectful.
