Obsession

6- Temptations

Jessica stood in the doorway in shock, making sure her robe was tied tight. "What are you doing here?" Her heart was beating fast, nervous at the man standing in front of her giving her a look that she had never seen before.

"I was stopping by to see how you were doing? I've been trying to get a hold of you, and hadn't heard anything back from you. I wanted to make sure everything was OK." He says sounding worried.

"Everything is just fine, I haven't had time to get back to you." Jessica says annoyed as she looked at Toby.

"So you did get my messages." He grinned.

"I did, I just didn't get a chance to look at them." She sighed.

Toby moved a little closer to Jessica resting his hand on the doorframe, reaching his other hand to her face and caressing her cheek with the back of his hand "I saw you last night, you looked so damn good, I had wished that was me with you." He smiled.

"You saw me last night?" She asks knowing that she saw him as well. She took a step back away from him, he then took one step closer to her. "That guy you were with, who is he?"

"Who do you think he is?" She snapped.

"You tell me, I saw his arms wrapped around you, you two looked pretty cozy, it almost looked like it was more than just a job." There was a little bit of annoyance in his tone, Jessica didn't care for the way he was acting. "For your information, I was cold... and you of all people know what my line of work is, you and I are not dating." She says pointing her finger back and forth to him and herself. "And to be honest, I really don't have to answer to you."

"I would really like if we could change that you know." He says looking at her full of lust. "I didn't like seeing him with his arms wrapped around you like that, my heart literally sank."

Jessica was getting fed up with him thinking that she was his and snapped at him "You know what I really don't like, is you coming here questioning me about who I was with last night. You know my job, and my job isn't just to go out with you and you only. Oh.... and were you following me around last night?"

Toby wraps his arms around Jessica's waist pulling her close to him, making her stomach drop. She always liked the feeling of his arms around her, but didn't care for how he was acting. He looked down at her as he had her body pressed against his, taking his hand and sliding some of her hair away from her face "Why are you acting this way towards me... and why would you think I was following you?"

"I saw you.. and it wasn't at the bar." She says angrily. Her breathing picked up as she got more nervous and upset at how Toby was acting, she tried to push his arms away from her, but he just tightened them up around her more. "Toby you're really scaring me."

He released his arms from her and took a step back. "I'm sorry, forgive me please. I just really would like to take us to the next level. I would really enjoy it if you were my girlfriend, I don't care for sharing you like that, we've been doing this for a year now, don't you realize I have feelings for you?"

"Toby, this is my job, and I will have many other dates, you cannot follow me around like that, it's creepy, and no.. I never thought that you had feelings for me. It's a job remember?"

"I wasn't following you, I was out driving around doing my job." He says softly. Toby then sighs looking away from her feeling hurt. "I just really enjoy your company, I think we would make a great couple." He smiles touching her bottom lip with his thumb placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "Will you at least think about the possibility of us being a couple? You wouldn't have to do this job anymore, and I know that I could take really good care of you. You mean a lot to me."
