One Less Problem (BWWM)

Lunch and A Flat Tire

Beep Beep!!!

"Damn! Already?!" I groan as I reach for my phone. Simon crawls on my side and rubs his face against me while purring."Morning buddy." I throw the covers off me and walk into the bathroom. I walk straight towards the tub and turn on the water then strip out of my clothes. I have to head back to work today sadly. I'm not really looking forward to seeing Jason today. After getting in the tub and bathing I step out and grab a towel. I dry off then head towards my closet. I pull out the clothes that I planned on wearing and get dressed.I grab my phone and bag and slip on my shoes before walking into the kitchen with Simon running behind me. I pour some food into his bowl and give him some fresh water then head for the door. *outfit in the m,m*

*At Work*

"God please let me make it through the day without any interruptions." I say out loud before getting out of my car. I walk into the building waving and speaking and then get on the elevator. I see Jason making his way towards it but the doors close. Thank God. I don't need a repeat of what happened on this elevator already. "Morning Sasha!" Richard says as I step off the elevator. "Morning sir." I walk past everyone smiling and head into my office. I walk in and take a seat at my desk powering up my computer. "Morning Sash." A familiar voice calls out making me look up. I try not to roll my eyes but fail miserably. "Morning Jason." I say expecting him to leave out of my doorway but instead he just continues to stand there and stare.

"Yes Jason?" I say sounding annoyed. "You look beautiful today Sasha." He gives me a warm smile. "Thanks Jason." Now get out. "You're welcome." With that he walked away. "Whew." I log into the computer and check my agenda. I stare at the list and see that it's been divided between Jason and I. I look over it and see all the things I need to do and then begin making calls and setting up appointments. Today is going to be long.
-----------------------------------------------------------
After being on the phone for hours I'm in the board room drawing up maps and graphs for my bosses meetings tomorrow. I haven't drawn anything since I took a leave of absence. I mean I was kinda forced to take one. I took this job fresh out of college. They hired me on the spot because I could draw any and everything quicker than anybody they had ever seen. I never showed up late, I always had a positive attitude and I never gave anybody any trouble but Richard saw me as the woman who was just interested in work and work only. So a few months ago He told me I needed a break and said there's more to life then just work. Little did he know I was working to forget everything going on around me. The more I worked the more I forgot. But now, it's all coming back.

"Sasha?"

"Yes Jason what do you need?" I ask not looking up from the drawing board. "Do you want to go get something to eat since it's lunch time?" I look up at him and see a look of desperation on his face. "My treat." Did he just say it's his treat?.

"Okay Jason just let me grab my bag."

"Already got it." I look down at his hands and see my black and white bag. "Ok. Let's go."

*At Wing Stop *

The ride here was silent and awkward. I practically jumped out the truck when we got here. After we ordered we just sat in silence. I stared down at my phone until he finally spoke. "Soo Sasha,"

"Yes Jason?" I sit up straight and stare at him.

"I have a question and I want you to be completely honest with me." Uh oh.I swallow my spit and say,"What is it?"

"Why won't you give me another chance? Don't you think I deserve one?" Why can't he just let it go. "Jason we've went over this already. Just drop it please."

"No. I won't drop it. I deserve another chance Sasha."

"Well I can't give that to you. Atleast not right now."

"So you're saying that maybe you'd consider it one day."

"I don't know Jason. Why can't we just be friends?"

"It's hard to be friends with someone you're in love with."

"Jason...."

"I'm being serious Sasha."

"Why now? It's been 5 years. You've moved on and so have I. I haven't moved on to another person but I've moved on from you. My feelings for you are gone Jason why can't you just understand that?"

"Because I know deep down you've still got feelings for me. You never truly get over your first love."

"Jason come on now, we're supposed to be having lunch not going back and forth about the past."

"Fine Sasha."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lunch was excellent. I had so much fun sitting in silence while Jason burned a hole right through my face because he kept staring at me. But, I kept my head down the entire time.
Now I'm back at office finishing up this last drawing. I can't wait to go home and sleep. I'm over this whole week. Tomorrow is Saturday so I don't have to work, thank God.
I grab my pencil and get to work. I erase any stray marks and then pick up all the maps and drawings,  placing them in large folder and then place them in the middle of the table right in front of the chair where my boss sits and walk back towards my office. I pack up my things, shut off my computer, grab my bag and head for the door. I walk towards the elevator and press down waiting for it to open. I then hop on and head for the first floor. I say my goodbyes then head for the parking lot. "Finally!" I whisper yell to myself. I walk over towards my car and notice my back tire is flat. What the heck?! It was fine when I got here. How the hell did my damn tire just get on flat like that?. I groan and pop my trunk prepared to get my spare out. I go into the trunk and grab the spare. "Ugh, I can't believe this shit." Luckily I know how to change a flat tire. I was supposed to be a boy but the ultrasound was apparently Incorrect. But that didn't stop my father from teaching certain things that more males know about than women. "Woah miss let me help you with that." A heavy masculine voice calls out from behind me. I look down and see his arms grabbing the tire and place it near the car. "Thanks but no thanks." I glance up at him and my mouth flies open. "Oh my God!!"

"Is there a problem miss?"

"Y-y-You're M-Myles Jackson The top C.E.O. of the company." He chuckles. Dang, did I just make myself look stupid?. "Yes. Yes I am and you are?"

"Sasha, Sasha James."

"I've heard so much about you Miss. James."

"Good things I hope."

"Of course. But what are you doing out here by yourself trying to change a tire?"

"Just trying to hurry and make it home sir."

"Don't call me sir I'm not that old." He says sounding sad. We both share a laugh. "Sasha you know I can't let you change this tire. Please allow me." Before I could protest he pulls the tools out of my trunk and gets to work. "Thank you so much, you didn't have to do that."

"I couldn't let a beautiful woman like yourself change a tire knowing that I'm here to do that." He winks at me and I blush while looking away. "Well I appreciate it so much."

"No problem Sasha. Hopefully I'll see you again."

"Hopefully." We smile at each other then he walks away and I walk to the drivers side and hop in. Oh my God. The boss of all bosses changed my tire and called me beautiful.
