Loving Boss

The kiss

Chapter Three

It's Saturday, I just got home from my class. My class at NYU is t-th 8-10pm and Saturday 7am-1pm. It makes 10 hours a week. I change into my pajamas and loose shirt. Landon is in my kitchen making me food. Oh yeah, I forget to inform you, he's a frustrated cook. But he's learning. Last time he perfect his pancake but mix the syrup with it. I lay on my bed. I can rest now. Being a hell week with the moody MJ makes me wanna kill him. But thanks for his company, every night I go home, I have my comfortable apartment waiting for me they gave me that. Thanks for them.

I open my laptop, part of being his secretary and a Lane employee and also because I'm a Lane co. grant scholar I have a company given laptop, ipod, cell phone and apartment. If I resigned or get fired I will get all this as a separation fee, but only if I work there for a year. In my case for over two years? this is all mine.

 I start typing with my thesis paper. I forget about the time. Just then I smell the scent of delicious food. I immediately jump out of my bed and got to the dining room. Maybe Landon can cook now. Well practice makes perfect.

"Darn it Land! It smells so delicious. Where did you learn it?" I said and sat down on the chair.

"It taste delicious darling. Mother taught me this for one month. C'mon let's eat." They ate the pork Adobo (a Filipino cuisine, it can b a chicken or pork) and rice. After we ate, I wash the dishes and Landon take a bath and get ready for his basketball practice. I was about to go inside my room when the doorbell rang. I quickly go to the door to see who is it, maybe its one of Landon's buddy.

My eyes got bigger than normally when I saw who it was. Oh the shitish of all the shitish. It is Martine Lane, What is he doing here?

"Good afternoon, Miss Castro."

"A-Ahh, uhmm, G-good after noon, Sir." Shit! Stop! I told myself secretly.

"Can I get in? I don't really considering standing here while discussing about what I came here." He said coldly. I open the door widely to give him way.

"I want to talk about the Marry Ledge account, some page in my copy and in the soft copy in my email is missing. You have a copy of it right?" He ask while walking through the sofa.

"Yes I have it, Sir. I'll go get it in my room, but first can I offer you anything sir? Coffee, juice, lemonade or water?" I ask.

"Just a glass of grape juice will do." He said.

I walk to the kitchen and made a juice. Then I remember Landon. Darn pig! I prayed that he won't came out early. I hurriedly go back to the sofa.

"Ahmm, here's your juice, Sir."

"You have a cozy apartment." He said.

"Company benefit."

"It's really n-" He was cut off by Landon, coming from the guest room at his back.

"Darling, I heard the door bell. Is Andrew here? I told him to fetch me for the practice." I want the ground to open to eat me. Martine, easily get up from his seat and face Landon.

"Ohh, you have a guest I see. Landon Leatherby, Martine Lane? Right? Ischia's boss?" He introduce himself, putting a hand out. Martine took it. "Nice to meet you." Landon said. Martine just Shook his head and look at me coldly. Then the door bell rang.

"Ohh, that must be Andy." he said then look at me. "I'm going to have dinner with Gwen, see you at my game tom?" He ask, Gwen is the daughter of one of their major sponsors. So Landon just bear it for some time.

"Yeah sure, good luck with that." I said sarcastically.

"I'm gonna miss you." He said dramatically. Martine cleared his throat. " I'm sorry about that." He said to Martine while smiling and he kiss me in the cheeks. "Take darling."

"Yeah you too."

"Go on with your business. Nice to meet you again Mr. Lane." He said and go to the door.

"I thought I told you to avoid that guy, Ischia? Isn't it clear that you really let him sleep here?! In my company's apartment? How dare you do that?" He said in a low firm voice. He come besides me and hold both my arms. "Look at me Ischia!" He commanded. I look at his eyes. Which I regretted then. I saw hatred then coldness in his eyes.

"Why can't you listen to me? and you are okay that he is dating that Gwen too? You Love him that much?" He said in a dangerous voice. I cringe his fingers dig in my skin and it hurts.

"Y-your hurting me. We are not-" I didn't get to finish my words.

"You really think he will love you back? He is a player.!"

"Stop it!" I shout, then I realize I'm in tears. His fingers in my arms hurt so much. I think it gonna crush all my bones. "He is my best friend. His family is a family's friend too. We know each other our whole life. We can't be something that you think we are. So stop it!" I yelled at him. He immediately let go of my arms. I on instincts inspect it.

He was stunned for some seconds. I see my arms are swelling and have red marks on it. I groaned that catches his attention he hold me gently and  check my arm.

"Shit! I'm sorry, baby. Damn it!" He said and hug me. I hold my breath. Darn it. He smell so heaven. He fell so good.

"I didn't mean it baby. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Then I realize our position. I instantly push him. But he held me tighter.

"Please, just for another minute. I want to hold you. I'm sorry." He said and kiss my hair. Him being 6 feet 2 inches and body full of muscles, what can a 5 feet 9 inches  girl match with it?

I feel him loosen his embrace he held my chin up. I can see tenderness and love in his blue-green eyes. Then he do the thing I lastly expected he would do. He kiss me. His lips tenderly nibble my lover lips, testing if I protest and seeking entrance. I innocently open my mouth. Then he slide his tongue inside my mouth. He taste every fiber of mouth. Without me knowing I'm kissing him back. As equal passion. As equal heat. Then we stop, we look at each other for a moment. Then he kiss me again softly and quick. Then he hug me and caress my hair. He breathe deeply and kiss my hair.

"I'm sorry." He whisper softly and hug me tight. I feel like he was afraid to let me go. Then I remember the kiss. OHH! SHITNESS! I kissed my boss. No my boss kissed me and I kissed him back! Now he is hugging me like there's no tomorrow. This is not going to be good. How this happen btw? Gosh! I'm going crazy.
