The Boss

Part 4

(Seb POV)

"where are we going?" (y/n) asked as we continued to walk through the brisk afternoon air.

"i don't know, wherever you like," i replied, giving her the option.

"Ummm...how about cheesecake factory? it's not very far," she suggested.

"Sure. Cheesecake factory it is," i said.

The two of us soon arrived at the restaurant and i held the door for her as we walked in. we walked up to the lady at the front.

"table for two please," i said calmly.

"Oh i'm sorry there is actually a small wait that's about 10-15 minutes. can i get a name?" she asked.

"Sure. Stan," i replied.

"First name too please?" she asked, typing into the computer.

"Sebastian. Sebastian Stan," i said calmly.

"Okay. thank you. we will tell you when your table is ready," she said, and we both decided to sit down in the waiting area in awkward silence for a while.

i glanced over at (y/n) and boy did she look beautiful without even trying...her hair had this perfect wave to it...

"Sebastian Stan?" a voice interrupted my thoughts.

I stood up, and so did (y/n).

15 minutes sure had passed pretty fast...and we followed the person to our table where we both had a seat.

"Your waiter will be with you just shortly," the lady said, and walked away.

"So....what work-related stuff did you want to talk about?" she asked, making eye contact which you quickly averted.

The truth actually was that you had just wanted an excuse of asking her out...but no way could i tell her that!!

she probably didn't even like me...

"Hello, my name is Kurt and i will be your server today. Can i get the two of you started off with something to drink?" the waiter appeared in front of us, saving me from answering her question.

"i'll just have a water," (y/n) said calmly.

"same here," i agreed, and soon the waiter walked away, leaving me still answerless for (y/n).

maybe she forgot that she had asked...

"so? what are the things that you needed to tell me?" she asked.

DANG IT.

"Um... I wanted to talk to you about the project that you'll be working on over the next few days..." i saved myself and began blabbering about it as we continued to look through the menu.

the waiter came back with the waters.

"So, are you ready to order?" he asked.

"yes," i responded as (y/n) said, "no."

i looked over at her.

"should i come back?" kurt suggested.

"no actually i got it now," she said, closing her menu.

"Okay, we will start with you, Miss," he said, and i watched (y/n)'s lips as she told the man her order...id like to see them up closer...

"And for you sir?" kurt asked and i realized it was my turn to order.

"fettuccini alfredo," i said, and he left with our orders.

i continued to talk about the project and stuff and soon our meal came.

We began to eat and halfway in between, (y/n) looks down at her phone.

"Oh no i have to go!!" she said, her eyes alarmed.

"Why?" i asked, trying to hide my disappointment.

"Lunch break has been over for a while!! i need to get back or i'll get in trouble!" she said, fumbling around through her purse.

"You know that i'm you're boss, right?" i asked casually.

"Oh yeah," she replied, and stopped digging through her purse.

"And this is technically a meeting. Just over lunch," i added, and her hands relaxed.

"I'm sorry...i forgot. But we really should hurry up because i have a lot of work to get done," she said, and the two do us finished our meals quickly.

"Let me just find my money..." she said hurriedly, digging through her purse again.

"Go. i'll handle the check," i said kindly, gesturing for her to leave.

"no i can't accept that--" she objected, still digging around in her purse.

"i'm your boss. and i'm telling you to get back to work," i said firmly.

"Okay...thank you!!" she said and rushed away as i handled the check.
