Obsessed

Fatal attraction

Alexandro strolled into the building with a grin on his face. Tomorrow, Leandra  would be visiting his job and she'd be bringing Leiandros  along with her. It had been a while since Leandra came up to the work place, and he always loved the envious stares of the males in the office building. Everyguy there went hypnotized by Leandra's presence, and Alexandro  was proud to say that she was all his. The only thing that could break his mood were the sounds of whimpering. It was coming from the employee's lounge.

Alexandro  eased into the break room, the cries growing louder. He matched the voice to Rosalita . She had her head in her hands, mumbling harsh words under her breath. Alexandro's eyes widened slightly as he closed the door after him.

"New girl, what's wrong?" he asked, snatching a tissue from the counter. She jumped, looking up to meet his gaze. Her eyes were red, and her mascara had smeared down her cheeks. She tried her hardest to smile, wiping a thick layer of mascara from her cheeks.

"I'm fine," she said reassuringly. Alexandro wasn't convinced.

"Then why are you crying?" he asked, nudging the tissue in her direction. She stared at it for a second before taking it.

"You think I'm crying? This is pure allergies," she lied, wiping the tissue across her face. Alexandro smirked lightly, taking a seat beside her.

"I get allergies when I watch One life to Live," he said, winking. She laughed genuinely, looking away from him. "Oh, there it is, a smile."

"Oh, please," she whispered, her frown slowly returning. Alexandro sighed out of consideration.

"Are you going to tell me what's got you so down?" he asked softly. She looked back up at him, her bottom lip trembling.

"It's... it's my boyfriend. Well, my ex boyfriend. Geez, am I really about to bore you with my guy problems?" she asked, laughing once. Alexandro gave her the impression that he was all ears, so she continued. "He broke up with me. He called me and told me it was over. Didn't even give me a proper explanation. Two years of my life just...gone."

Alexandro gave her a compassionate stare, sympathizing with her. It must have felt awful to be in her place at that moment, and he was silently thankful that he had someone to go home to that he was madly in love with.

"I'm really sorry to hear that," he whispered, watching as more tears welled in her eyes. "What a jerk. That asshole doesn't deserve a smart, beautiful, outgoing girl like you. And... if I weren't happily married," he said, leaning a bit closer. "I'd totally date you." he gave her a joking smile, watching as she laughed in response. He could tell that she was blushing.

"Come on, Alexandro," she said, pushing his shoulder playfully. "You shouldn't say things you don't mean."

"I never do," he reassured. He stood to his feet, grabbing a granola bar. She was still staring intently at him. He could see an intense flicker of something he knew all too well in her eyes...lust.

"I'll have some files on your desk in a few," she said, her mood completely shifting. It kind of surprised him.

"Uh...cool," he said, giving her a friendly smile. He exited the break room, sighing heavily. What did I just get myself into? He thought.

…

Alexandro burst through the front door, relieved to be home at last. It had been a rough day, and he was ready to relax with his family. He smelled a delicious aroma floating from the kitchen, filling his nostrils. He strolled into the kitchen, watching as Leandra stirred something in a pot. It smelled like shrimp Alfredo.
