Workaholics

Chapter 6: Soften me up

I arrived at work and met up with my interns, giving them work to do to improve themselves.This was my first group of interns. I was very strict , but I was trying to be as nice as I can. The last thing I wanted was them to hate me. 

My day flew by just like every other day. I looked at my watch and it was already 8. I went to the dressing room and changed my clothes into the new ones. I've checked my phone. I usually just leave it, together with my bag, in the locker. It was distracting me from everything. I saw one missed call and guess from who - Elon. He called me around 4, but doesn't he get that I don't have the usual lunch breaks. And why he called me? I decided to call him back. I was excited to hear his deep voice.

"Hello" I said with little trembling voice, trying to hide my excitement.

"H-hi" he said back to me nervously. "I was thinking, i-i mean if you want, we can go grab a bite before we go to my office?" He asked me. 

As those words left his mouth a little smile formed on my face. 

"Should I consider this a date?" I laughed and put my hand on my mouth as I realised what I just said.

"Hahah if it's KFC, no, I would like to take you somewhere better for a first date" We laughed together and after that there was a moment of silence.

I was looking for words to break the silence and I finally spoke. 

"The most important thing is the company..not the place" I said quietly. 

"You like facts don't you" he chuckled "I will pick you up from the hospital at 9 and I don't take a no for an answer" he said insistently "big girl" he added sarcastically and at that point I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud.

Using my own words against me.Smart.

"Ugh, okay" I said "See you!"

"See you soon!" he said softly and I felt excitement in his voice.

We hung up. I still had an hour before I leave so I went to the bathroom to fix my make up a little bit. I pulled my hair down.

I was looking at myself trying to convince myself that I don't look that tired. But let's be real I really did. The skirt was perfectly fitting my butt and showing my well trained legs. I worked so hard for this body. Now I had the chance to show off a little bit. 

"You slayin' girl!" I heard Maria's voice behind me, chuckling.

"What can I say" I turned around laughing at her.

"Where are you going..like that?" She asked pointing at my skirt. 

"Business meeting" I said trying to look serious.

"With Mr.Musk?" She asked rhetorically.

I gasped.

From where did she knew I was going out with him?

"How did you know?" I asked her raising my eyebrow.

"Uhm.." She started murmuring, looking at her feet "b-because he asked Giorno for your number last night" She said looking in my eyes with guilt.

I was going to kill him. He had no right to give away my number just like that and what the hell Maria was doing with him last night? I got mad for a second , but I calmed down by the thought  that my number was given to Elon. 

"I have questions for you, but now it's not the time" I sighed.

"FYI , Mr.Musk was very insisting, so we had no choice" she laughed and I punched her softly on her arm.

"I will go now!" I smiled softly at her and left the dressing room.

I took my badge out of the bag and went it through the little device at the entrance. Like that, we were tracking when and who was entering the building. Just for information for the owner of the hospital. After all this was authorised entrance, so nobody could enter just like that. 

I went out and saw a white Tesla Roadster in the parking lot.

Elon.

As I was getting closer he honked once. I made a gesture with my hand to stop doing it. He went out of the car smiling ear to ear. He was wearing black jeans with black t-shirt and a black leather jacket. This outfit was screaming 'classy' and it was looking so good on him.

"This is a hospital, not Walmart " I said with a serious look on my face. 

There are people in this building who were resting and recovering. I didn't wanted to disturb them. 

He looked at me with puppy eyes and I couldn't resist so I just smiled back. 

I should stop being so hard on people.

"I am apologising for that" he chuckled scratching the back of his head.

"And I am sorry for jumping on you like that" I smiled softly.

He got closer to me looking me from head to toe.

"I like your style" Elon almost whispered.

"S-same goes to you" I said back. "I can see that you are with the Roadster" I commented looking at the car.

"You liked it a lot, so I decided I will pick you up with it" he smiled at me.

Well I like him more than the car.

"I can't hide the fact that I was impressed" I smiled "but I prefer my motorcycle best" I winged at him and went for the door of the car. 

He followed me and opened the door for me, still laughing at my comment. I entered the car, but it was kinda hard, because it was low.

He entered the car and looked at me.

"Where do you want to go eat?" He asked.

"I know one pretty cool and quiet restaurant , I will give you directions" I smiled. 

I can't stop smiling. What is happening to me?

"Great, let's go then" He smiled softly with excitement and slapped my thigh lightly.

His hands were so warm and his veins were popping underneath his skin. I felt a warm wave of heat going through my body.

I wanted him closer. 

He started the car and I gave him direction where to go.

"Uhm, do you have a boyfriend or something like that" Elon asked suddenly and I was definitely not expecting this question. 

I went out with him and so obviously flirted with him at his house and yet he asks me this. I raised my eyebrow and looked at him.

"How do you think?" I laughed and he laughed back as he caught the sarcasm in my words. "I won't be here otherwise.."

"How you don't have one.." He stoped laughing and murmured, looking at the road, but I heard him.

"W-what do you mean by that?" I asked with confusion.

"Should I hold up a mirror in front of your face?" He chuckled. 

Should I take this as a compliment or there is something on my face?

"I didn't knew I have something between my teeth" I joked and we bursted in laughter.
