my Boss, my Boyfriend

What pizza guy?

Daniel's POV

As my alarm clock goes off, I realize I'm not even grumpy. I realize that I wanted it to go off. I realize I'm excited!
What could be the reason? Oh! Of course! My boss is crazy attractive and basically told me he cares about me last night!

I get out of bed with a big smile on my face and make my way to the shower. After washing my hair with my favorite shampoo (it smells like apples) I dry myself off before getting dressed in black jeans, a dark grey dress shirt and a dark purple tie. I walk over to my phone and notice I've got quite a few texts.
All from the same person.

Good morning Angel. About to hop on the plane to Seattle. I'll be back soon.

Just landed. Miss you already.

Sweet Angel of mine, I have to stay for a bit longer than expected. Be safe.

I sigh as I think about how lucky I am. I text him a quick good morning before grabbing some lucky charms. I eat my breakfast quickly and start making my way to work. I meet up with Henry outside of the building and we head in together.
"So, when's hot stuff getting back?" He asks. I frown a bit and force myself to not get jealous. This is Henry after all. "Uhm I'm not sure. He said it's taking longer than expected." I shrug. Henry copies my movement and slaps my back as we separate to get to out perspective cubicles.

The day drags on and all I can think about is being in Elijah's arms. It's so weird how someone can have such a large effect on me in such a short amount of time.
Before lunch rolls around I get an email from Mr Smith, stating there's a floor meeting in 5 minutes. I save my work and grab my ipad as I make my way to the conference room. I plop down next to Henry and lean back in my chair. He starts chatting to me about how he's considering downloading tinder when Mr Smith walks into the room and the chatter dies down.
"Morning everyone," he starts. "I hope you're well rested. You're going to need the energy. I've just been informed that-" before I can listen further my phone buzzes in my pocket and Mr Smith stops and sends a glare my way. "Mr Walker. Personal calls in your own time please." He says sternly and I nod with wide eyes. I reach into my pocket and turn my phone off without checking the caller ID. "Anyway," he continues. "I've just been informed that our floor is responsible for the new television advertisement campaign. We will be in charge of thinking of a strategy, hiring actors, camera crew, makeup and hair crew and of course sound crew." A few excited gasps and some groans can be heard. "Now, we shall assign each and every one of you a specific task and you will make damn sure of it that you do it to the best of your abilities. Am I clear?" Everyone nods.

"Now. Does anyone have any ideas? If you do, I am going to-" Mr Smith gets interrupted again but this time by Elijah. He walks into the room with a stern look on his face and emotionless eyes. He greets Mr Smith and sits down at the head of the table, forcing Mr Smith to move to the next chair. He looks down at his phone and starts furiously typing with a frown on his face. Mr Smith stands there awkwardly and lets out a fake cough. This makes Elijah glance at him annoyed and rub his temples. He gestures for Lucy to come closer and whispers something in her ear. She looks shocked but nods nevertheless and walks out of the room.
Elijah straightens up in his chair and also clears his throat. "Continue."

Mr Smith relaxes a bit and stand a bit taller. "Thank you, Mr Clarke. As I was saying, if you have any ideas, please feel free to send me an email and I will look them over in time. Now, Evans, seeing as you and Walker here are both new, the two of you will be in charge of scouting. You will call everywhere and find the best possible actors and crews you can find." As soon as he said my name Elijah's head shot up and our eyes locked. His softened and he immediately smiled as I started to blush. Henry nudged me and I looked away to see one of the girls, Susan I think, staring at us with wide eyes. Henry and I looked at Mr Smith and acknowledged our task with a simple "Yes sir." If you looked at Elijah at the same time I said that you would've seen his grip tighten on the arm of the chair. I saw that and bit my lip. Mr Smith looked pleased. "Okay, that's it. Walker, please stay behind." Everyone stood up and left the room but Elijah stayed behind. I thought I saw a change in his expression when Mr Smith said my name.
Mr Smith tensed when he realized Elijah wasn't going to leave when he sat back and put his feet on the table with his hands behind his head. I smiled shyly at this as I looked at Mr Smith's awkward expression.
"Uhm," he started. "Daniel, is it?" I nodded and quickly glanced at Elijah as he sent a wink my way.
"It disappointed me when your phone rang. The fact that you had the nerve to keep your phone on in my meeting? That's completely unacceptable. I'm sure Mr Clarke here will agree with me when I say-" Elijah cleared his throat and sat forward before he could finish. "Actually, Smith," he spat. "It was me who called young Daniel here." His arms were crossed and his face cold. Mr Smith was speechless. "Oh! Er.. sorry, Mr Clarke, I had no idea. I uh.." Elijah rolled his eyes and stood up and held out his hand for me to take. Mr Smith choked on his own spit and his eyes bulged. I stood up shyly and edged towards Elijah.
He smiled at me and took my hand and intertwined it with his.
He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. "Hello there. Sorry about Smith here. It won't happen again, right?" He looked at Mr Smith who nodded in return, still too shocked to speak. Elijah smiled and lead me out of the room. As soon as we stepped out he let go of me which made me look up at him. He gave me a small smile and a look that said we'll talk later. I nodded and smiled back, making my way to my cubicle. He followed behind me, occasionally walking close enough to brush our hands together.

I got to my desk and looked at him.
"Okay Angel, I have to get to work now. Would you like to get dinner with me tonight? I'll take you somewhere special." I blushed at this and smiled. "I'd love to," I whispered. He beamed at me and delicately touched my shoulder. "See you soon, Love."
With that he walked away, leaving me to my work.

I can't wait till tonight.
