I still don't know what came over me last night. And neither do I understand why he would go along with it. But I do know that the sexy dream I had during the night just made everything worse.
I'm about to enter the twenty-eighth floor when there's a sudden squeal next to me.
"Someone is excited," I say to Danny with a smile.
"Aren't you?" she asks with a grin.
"I guess." Is all I say. I'm a little worried about last nights events. What if he decides that I was throwing myself at him? And what if he decided that he wanted me gone for that?
We move to the receptionist together. Debbie told us just to go to her and she will give further instructions.
"Welcome ladies." The receptionist greets us.
"Carmen asked me to send you guys to her, she needs help. So I'll just tell her you guys are here." She says then picks up a phone then speaks into it.
"She says that you guys can come in."
"I'm Carmen Spectre, welcome to the top." The assistant says. " I'm sorry, but I need you guys to start immediately. Uhm... I need you two to start doing research on these two companies." She hands us each a paper.
"What you need to research is all there on the paper. Please do your best on it, because I won't have time to proofread or really change anything on it once you're done. And Mr. Ames wants it at four o'clock." Carmen explains.
"Ok, sounds easy enough." I look at Danny and she nods her head at Carmen.
We both go into the empty conference room and then we start working on the research until lunch.
"I'm going to get food. Do you want something?" Danny asks me.
"Yes, just any sandwich with cheese on, thank you," I reply to her.
I'm rereading through my work when someone enters the room.
"That was fast," I say, thinking it's Danny already.
"Really? I didn't know you were waiting for something." A male voice replies.
I turn around and at the same time, I hear the door closing. "I need the room for a meeting in a half hour's time."
"Ok, we will get our things now Mr. Ames," I say while getting up at the same time.
The dream I had last night suddenly reappears in my thoughts, and I have to struggle to not release the gasping sound that wants to come out of my mouth when vivid images flash through my mind.
"Thanks. How far is the research going?" He asks.
"It's almost done, we're both going to read each other work to make sure it's good then we'll give it to Carmen."
He then walks to where I'm standing and picks up my work.
I have to stop myself from sniffing him when I get I smell of his clean woodsy aftershave. He is dress in gray pants and a crisp white shirt. He has a tie and blazer draped over his arm. The shirt doesn't hide his good build body. And I feel like my dream didn't really justify him.
"This is good work." He says when he looks up from the page in his hand.
"Thank you," I say and my eyes connect with his deep blue ones.
"So are we just going to ignore last night?" He takes a step closer to me and my body reacts with what feels like flames.
"Uhm... Yes. Do you not think that that is for the best Mr. Ames?" I say. He takes another step and by then our bodies are almost touching.
"I do, but I need to see something first."
With that, he closes the little gap between us and kisses me.
At first, I go still as his lips touch mine, and his hands rest on my hips.
But then I smell him again. And I feel the need to touch him everywhere. And I find myself relaxing and kissing him back. But just when I'm about to touch him, he pulls back from me.
I take a step back even though I feel disappointed that the kiss didn't last very long.
We look at each other for a while, and I see the same question in his eyes that I'm thinking. What the hell is happening?
He is the first person to speak. "I'm sorry, but I needed to do that."
"Why?" I ask.
But before he can reply Carmen walks in. "Oh, I forgot you guys were in here. But are you not on lunch at this hour."
"Yes, I was just getting our stuff," I say to Carmen before hurrying out of the room without a look at my boss, who just kissed me.
