Anna's POV

We worked hard all day long. everyone decided to go on lunch and I stayed working along with Ashton. he was working hard at his computer. Occasionally we'd both look up and smile. He was something else. "Hey, after work want to grab a drink at my place" I asked. "Sure" he said. "Well, I'm stuffed" Luke said walking in. "You eat like there's no tomorrow" Michael said. "Ash you Should've been there. Luke downed 7 cups of coffee and ate 5 sandwiches. it was the best" Calum said. Blaire was laughing and she sat next to me. "I'm heading for lunch now, Ash you can come If you want " I said. "Sure" Ashton said very fast as he was quick to his feet. we walked to the elevator and there was a sign. "Down until further notice, damn it" I said. I walked towards the stairs. "I'll race ya to the cafeteria" Ashton said. "Oh I don't race boys it's not in a ladies nature" I said. "Come on! scared to lose to a boy, Anna?" ash snickered. "If I win you have to kiss me" he said. "What if I win" I said. "I'll do what you want for the rest of the day" ash said. "On three" I said as he smiled. "1, 23" I yelled storming past him. "CHEATER" he yelled. I ran down the stairs and then he hopped over the railing. "You cheater" I said. we raced down the hall and i sped fast him. i turned back and he was on my tail. I ran faster and took a sharp turn. I stopped in the cafeteria. I caught my breath and looked around. nobody was there. I laughed and turned around. ash ran around the corner and we collided. I fell to the ground and Ashton was on top of me. "I won" he said. "No you didn't! I was here 20 seconds before you!" I said. "You cheated, I don't know the building" he said. his face was right over mine. "Anna? what are you doing" another Coe-worker asked. ash got of me. "We had a race" he said. the Coe-worker rolled his eyes. "This is a serious job Anna, don't let some idiot ruin it for you" he said. "James" I said walking towards him.

Ashton's POV

My lungs gasped for air as I tried and catch my breath. Damn, she was a fast girl. she walked towards a man named James. she ran her hand up his chest. "We both know, I take my job very serious. it would be a shame if I had to leave because somebody" she paused tapping his lower chest. "Snitched" she said leaning to his ear. "I have eyes and ears everywhere James. I know about you and Jeannie in the supplies closet" she pulled away from his ear. "It would be awful if one day the security disk with the little scene on it showed up at Kelly's desk wouldn't it?" she asked. "I didn't see anything" he said. "I didn't think so" she said patting his shoulder. He walked away and then she looked at me. damn her blue eyes. They were light blue, like pool of mist. she rolled her eyes. "Quit staring" she said. I snapped back to reality. I wanted to kiss her so bad. I looked around. nobody was there. it was a self serve station. I walked towards her with swift movements. I cupped her small cheeks and she stared at me. "Ash-" "Sh" I said as I leaned in. I pressed my ruff lips to hers and passionately kissed her.

Anna's POV

Ashton's ruff lips on my soft ones was a foreign feeling. yet it felt so right. his tongue swiped over my bottom lip. I gasped a little for air. he chuckled and his tongue slid into my mouth. my curiosity decided to take over. I slid my hands to his neck and tugged at the nape of his neck. He let out a throaty groan and pinned me against a wall. "Ash" i said turning my head. he kissed down my neck. He slid his hand under my shirt heading towards my chest. "Not here" I said pushing his had away. "I don't care" he said pulling me closer. "Ashton I mean it" I said slipping out of his grip. "Come on Anna, live a little" he said keeping me against the wall. my appetite disappeared. my dad told me to live a little, then injected drugs into my system. I became addicted that way. "Ash- I- i" words couldn't come out of my mouth. I turned around and walked out of the cafeteria. what if he is just like my dad? what if I get hurt again? he dates a ton of girls, stupid Anna always falling for the wrong people. he just wants to get in your pants. I walked up a set of stairs to level 48. there was a food court on ever other level. 47 had a food court, 48 had personal bathrooms. I walked into the office and Michael stood up. "Anna are you okay" he asked concerned. I didn't realize I was crying. I raised a hand and felt tears. I looked at everyone and ran to the bathroom. it was an extended wing from our offices. I shoved the girls room door open. I went into a handicap stall, locked the door, and fell to the floor crying. "Anna? it's me Michael" Michael said. I tried to contain my sobs. he walked by the bathroom door I was in. he took a step back and tried to push the stall open. "Anna, I'm not leaving this bathroom until you tell me what's wrong, and neither are you" he said stomping his foot like a kid. I giggled a little and he knocked again. "I don't want you to see me like this" I said. the door unlocked and Michael walked in. "How'd y-" "Easy doors, stick your finger nail in and twist" he said sitting down. "What happened?" he asked grabbing toilet paper. I wiped my eyes. "Ashton. he and I raced down to the cafeteria and then I beat him. he came running in and fell on top of me. we both laughed and I went to get lunch" I closed my eyes. "It seems pretty normal To me" Michael said. "Then he walked towards me and kissed me" I said. I saw Michael's fist tighten. "He pinned me against a wall and tried to feel under my shirt. I told him not hear and he said live a little. my dad told me to live a little and then he injected me with c- drugs" I said hugging me knees. Michael stood up. he bent down and picked me up. "Michael what are you doing" I asked. "I'm taking you home" he said. I looked at him and raised my brows. "Your in no condition to work. let me drive you, you need to have peace and quiet and be away from everyone" Michael said. "Except you" I said.
