Mr. Love Intimacy

The Drive

BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
I roll over and groan.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!!
    When I finally realize what I'm hearing, I shoot up out of bed and check my phone. 46 missed calls and 17 texts from the company.
"Oh crap! It's 9:03 am!!!" We have a huge report meeting today at LFG. "Man, Anna is going to kill me."
I throw on some slacks and a blouse and put on a pair of black heels, grab my purse and run out the door. As I'm looking down running towards the front doors, I slam into a rock hard back and fall to the floor.
"Ouch" I said running my knees, only to realize I ripped a hole in the knee of my pants.
"Ugh, why today??"
As I say that, I look up and see a big hand reaching down.
"Y/N what are you doing not watching what you're doing? You could have run out into the street and got seriously hurt...dummy."I know that voice. I slowly pick my head up to see Victor's cold eyes looking down at me.
"Uhhh, sir. I am so sorry. I...I was trying to get to the office to get the report meeting started." I said quietly.
"Well, since you didn't want to pay attention where you were going, you went and ripped your pants. And I won't have you presenting to my board you looking like such a slob," he said rolling his eyes. He leaned down more and grabs my hand and lifts me up. "Lets go." He starts walking to his fancy car as soon as I was on my feet.
I stood there frozen.
"Well, come on idiot."
I unfreeze and jog to the door. He opened it for me and went to the other side and got in.
"Buckle up." As I reach for the seatbelt he speeds off and my whole body jerks back.
"Geez, you could have let me actually buckle up," I murmured under my breathe.
"What was that?" Victor replies sternly.
Crap, I said that louder than I thought.
"I was just wondering why you were in front of my apartment today." I lean my head away from him.
"Anna and Willow called me...6 times each, asking if you were at LFG this morning and that's why you weren't answering your phone," he clears his throat. "I was worried."
I jerked my head looking his direction.
"Worried?"
"That you would fail once again at reporting to my board to actually KEEP your funding," he fires back.
Well, so much for kindness.
"Well, I appreciate you coming out Victor, but where are we going? The company is that way?" I say as I pointed left.
"Like I said, I won't have you reporting to the board looking like THAT," he said sharply.
Not surprised by that answer.

    After about 6 minutes of silence and driving, we reached the destination. "Now, hurry and get some new pants. I won't wait long." Victor says as he puts the car in park. I rip the door open and run into the department store. As I'm searching for my wallet once I find a pair of slacks, I dropped my purse and everything came out. "WHY??" I groan and bend over to pick up everything as the store clerk is printing my receipt. I see a pair of combat boots step in front of me. I think I know these boots. I look up and notice Gavin's face snickering as he bends down to help me pick everything up. "Y/N , how do you always end up doing this to yourself," he says softly.
"Gavin...I um, well," as I'm stuttering my words I notice the picture I have of him in his police uniform out in the open. I feel my cheeks fill up red and I hurry and grab the picture before he sees it."
"Whoa, why are you rushing so much?" He jerks back timidly. "Don't you need to get to your LFG report?"
He remembered. Of course he did, he always remember important things like that. "Let me give you a ride, I've got my bike right out front.
"That's okay. Victor is out there right now waiting for me." I say back and look at him. His face shifted.
"Victor? Why are you with him?"
"Anna and Willow freaked him out, so he came to see where I was. I ran into him and tore my pants so he brought me here. I have to hurry though Gavin. The meeting is in 25 minutes."
I started to walk past him and he grabbed my my arm. I felt butterflies. "G-Gavin?" I whispering.
He looked at my with soft sad eyes. "Nothing," he says sadly, "You're going to do great on your report. I know it."
He released my arm and I waved lightly and ran out to Victor's car.
"Sorry it took so long. They had to go in the back to get my size," I say.
"Are you sure it wasn't because you were chitchatting with someone?" Victor says sharply as he speeds off.
"Chitchat?" I question.
"Never mind. Your report better be good"
I feel my phone vibrate. I pull it out. It's a text from Gavin!

Come out with me tonight after your report. I want to show you something.
