The plan

Chapter 8- Eye Contact

He holds the door open for me, and I walk in.
I can feel his eyes on me as I walk in front of his desk.
"So, I didn't know you were my new assistant." He says while standing near me.
"And I didn't know you were the owner of this hotel." I say looking around his huge office.
"Uh, yeah. My dad use to be the owner but, he retired a year ago, and left me in charge."

I notice that when he says that, he doesn't look happy. Instead he looks like he's not interested in this job.

"And is this what you want to do as your career, own a hotel?" I ask him.
He puts his blue eyes on me, and they stay there.
He ignores my question,
"So, let's get to know each other." He says while pulling out a seat for me.

"Are you in school?" He asks me.
"I'm in college. I'm studying art, I want to be an artist for a living. But, if that plan doesn't work out, I plan on becoming a marine biologist."
He smiles at me, "It's nice to have an assistant who actually has plans for their future."
It's silent for a while, until I said something .
"I didn't know you and Claire dated."
He looks at me like I've been living under a rock.
"Uh, yeah. We've been dating for some time now."

He looks at me, and then down to my hands.
"You have a tattoo?" He asks.
I look down to the one he's talking about on my hand.
It's a bird flying away. This was my first tattoo, and Anna and I both got matching ones.
"Yeah. When I got this, I started having a interest in tattoos. So I bought all of the tools for them, and now I give my friends tattoos." I say.
"That's really interesting. Do you have anymore tattoos?" He asks me.
"I actually have a few more. So, when did you get your tattoos?" I ask looking at his sleeve of tattoos.
"A couple of months ago."
"They're really cool." I say.
"Thanks."

"About yesterday, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I was just dealing with some stuff." He says.
"It's fine."
"So, here's some paperwork I need you to fill out." He says while handing me a folder full of papers.
"Okay, where do I work?" I ask.
He points to a desk on the other side of his office,
"You're desk is over there."
I walk to my desk, and start working.

I feel like he's watching me, so I look up at him.
He looks away, and I go back to my work.
I feel him starring at me again.
I look up and we hold eye contact.
"What?" I ask.
He smiles at me, then looks back at his desk,
"Nothing."
