The Boss

Part 8

The next day you woke up at 10 and did your normal routine. Even though it was saturday, you still had to run into the office quickly. So you got ready and was about to leave the apartment when kelly called you back from the kitchen.

"tell me what happened last night. i didn't hear u come in until 2," kelly said with a smirk.

"i had to take sebastian home because he was drunk..." you replied.

"ooh how'd that go?" she asked.

"well i was changing him when he pulled me onto his bed and went on top of me. i quickly pushed him off and got off the bed..." you explained.

"why would you push him away??" she asked.

"i don't know...he was drunk and i was nervous..." you said.

"wait...you said you were dressing him??" she asked.

"yes," you answered.

"how'd he look shirtless? did he have abs?" kelly grinned, and you rolled your eyes but nodded.

"ooh," was all kelly said.

"okay well i have to go get something from work...but do you want to meet for lunch?" you asked.

"okay sure," kelly said, "bye!"

"bye," you replied and walked out the door.

you walked out of the building and down the street and to your building. you took the elevator upstairs and began walking to your office when your name was called from Mr. Stan's office.

You hesitated and turned around and walked into his office, "yes?"

His room was very dark and he had a pair of sunglasses on his desk. his eyes were bloodshot and he had heavy bags underneath. his posture was slouched and he was rubbing his temples; you definitely could tell that he was hung over.

"Um well i just wanted to apologize for whatever happened yesterday," he said quietly.

"What do you mean?" you asked.

"well i don't really remember too much...but i remember you taking me home and helping me out and i think i was sort of difficult..."

Sort of difficult???

he had pulled you onto his bed and went on top of you!!

but maybe he didn't remember all the details...

"...thought i could make it up to you by taking you out to dinner tonight?" he asked, and your heart skipped a beat.

"umm i don't think i'm available..." you said quickly.

"i promise i'll be sober. just please...i won't make the same mistakes that i made yesterday," he said, and a part of you was sort of hurt by his words.

he had said that he had wanted her yesterday...

was that a so called "mistake"?

"okay," you finally replied, and he smiled- probably for the first time that day.

"can i pick you up at 7?" he asked.

"uh sure. i'll text you my address," you said, but then you realized you didn't have his number.

"oh...um well i guess i need your number," you added awkwardly, taking out your phone and handing it to him.

he added his contact and passed it back. you sent him a testing text and he got it and added your contact.

"well...i'll see you later!" you said awkwardly, turning and leaving his office.

the clock ticked. it was 6:53 and you had finished getting ready and was waiting outside the apartment building on a bench. you had put on a black dress and had found your red heels that you hadn't been able to find yesterday and were wearing those. you had texted Sebastian your apartment building address.

suddenly, his car pulled up. he was early. you got up and walked towards the car, which he got out of, and walked towards you. he had a suit on- he looked much better than earlier- and held a red rose. He handed it to you and took your hand and gave it a kiss...

the touch of his lips on your skin reminding you of your dreams...

your heart began to beat faster.

"Thank you, Mr. Stan," you said.

"Will you do me a favor and stop calling me that?" he asked.

"Oh sorry. Bad habit. i'll stop, sebastian," you emphasized his name.

"come on," he said as he walked to his car and opened the door for you.

You got in and he closed the door, and walked to the other side. He hopped into the car and began driving.

"So, where are we going?" you asked.

"It's a surprise," he replied with a small smile
