Perfect Flaws

S I X/ Just Keep Running

Six- Just keep Running

___

I remember my first kiss. It was my sophomore year, and I was dating this guy named Myles. We had been dating for a couple months when he kissed me. It was sweet. But this one was better. Alot better. Honestly, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss even though I  figured it was a 'spur of the moment' kind of thing.

The next morning when I arrived, I decided to just keep it casual and not act weird.

I guess he didn't think the same way since I found Dean staring at me multiple times throughout the day. Maybe, just maybe, it affected him the same way as it affected him.

Come to my office. Now.

One message, 5 words, I didn't even need to look at who sent it. I rose up from my comfy, rolling chair and made my way to his office.

I knock on the door and walk in, shutting it behind me.

"Close the blinds." His hazel eyes followed me as I walked over and closed the blinds and sat in one of the two red, plush chairs he had in from of his desk.

He stared at me intently, as if he was mentally deciding what to do next. I, on the other hand, was sitting there awkwardly not knowing what to say or do.

Just as he was about to say something, James knocked on the door, and came in saying that a major shareholder of the company was on the line and needed to speak to him.

Dean looked at me, "We will talk later."

"Yes, sir."

I left right behind him and James stopped me.

"What did Mr. Grumpy want?"

"I don't know, but I wonder if I did anything wrong."

"Probably." He said chuckling.

I pout, "Not funny!"

"Awe, poor baby. How about I buy you lunch to make up for it?"

"Er- Sure, why not?"

"Great, grab your stuff!" James winks at me while walking to the elevator swinging the keys to his car on his fingers while I rush to grab my purse.

James took me to a small diner about 15 minutes away. With most of the city being skyscrapers and all, a place like this was definitely worth cherishing.

When we walked in, a bell signaled our arrival, and an older lady took us to a booth. The atmosphere was very tranquil, the place decorated with warm shades of brown and red. 

When we got back Dean was sitting in my chair, the other secretaries probably still eating lunch.

"Where did you two go?"

James puts an arm around my shoulders, "We went on a date."

My eyebrows raise, Say what now?

Dean's jaw clenches as he looks at me. I can't make out the emotion on his face and it bothers me. Hurt? Anger? Jealousy? Whatever it was, it definitely wasn't good.

He gets up and storms to his office, slamming the door shut.

James removes the arm and starts laughing quietly, "Ah, I love messing with him!"

"What.... just happened?"

"Well my dear, your boss, just got jelly!" James squeals a little. "Finally, he's getting over her."

"Who's her?"

"Not my place to tell. Well I got some papers to finalize, so see ya munchkin!" He pats my head and walks to his office.

Why pet me? I'm not a dog.

The rest of the day was fairly quiet, oddly. A very noticeable tension was in the air and it created very awkward conversations between everyone. It even made James uncomfortable.

As I started walking to the bus stop after work, a car pulled up beside me, and before I realized it hands had grabbed me and pulled me inside the vehicle.

I started screaming but a hand went over my mouth and a deep, familiar voice said, "Idióta, fogd be. It's me." (Idiot, shut up.) I pull the hand from my mouth and look back at Dean. He tells the driver to start driving again.

"What the heck?! Kidnapping IS a crime, you know!"

"I am not kidnapping you, I'm just simply borrowing your presence without acknowledging you beforehand."

"So, a fancy form of kidnapping?"

"Yes."

"So why did you "borrow my presence"?"

"Did you and James really go out on a date?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Well, if you break up it could be bad for work." '

"That's your story?"

He nods, "So, were you?"

"Maybe so, maybe not.."

"Just give me a straight answer, dammit!" He snaps. I clench my jaw, "No."

He looks relived, was he really that worried about work?

"Now, let's continue our conversation from earlier."

"What's there to talk about?"

"The kiss."

"Dean, you don't need to explain. It was a mistake. I get it, we were both caught up in the moment that's all."

He becomes mad again, "A mistake. Really? Is that what you think?"

"Well, yeah." Well, nope.

He lifts my chin up and crashes his lips against mine. My eyes shut as his lips move in sync with mine and he moves the hand from my chin to my thigh, the other hand at the back of my neck.

Needing air, we both break away panting his eyes dark with lust.

"Did that feel like a mistake?"

No, not at all.

"D-Dean. We can't. You're my boss. People will talk."

He leans down to kiss me again, "Then it can be our little secret."

"So where are we going?"

"I have a business meeting in New York. We're taking a plane there, my stuff is already packed. We're stopping at your house to let you grab your stuff too, it's only for a night."

"With who? The meeting wasn't on your schedule."

"Last minute meeting with the CEO of Soca Sola. I'm hoping to collaborate with them on a commercial and promotional events to help boost both of our sales."

"And as your secretary, don't you think I should have been informed of this earlier, Mr. Miklos?"

He pretends to think, "Nope. I'm the boss. I can do, or not do whatever I please." He huffs arrogantly at me.

His hazel eyes seemed brighter, and he seemed genuinely excited for this trip. It seemed like he's going to stay an extra day to rest, judging from his itinerary. I've overheard other employees say that he hasn't took a day off in 2 years, even holidays, so it's probably a well-needed rest.

We stopped by my apartment, and I quickly grabbed some clothes,  toiletries, and my makeup. I said goodbye to Colby, who was talking to his new boyfriend, Matt, on Facetime. I introduced myself and left. The drive to the airport was fairly silent, apart from the soft jazz music humming softly from the speakers.
