Olivia Beck works for a successful company, enjoys the environment and has fun with the colleagues. Everything is going great for her until one day she sees something involving the company's CEO and she doesn't know how to deal with it.
It's finally the day we're getting out of this catastrophic hotel and we're going back home. I can't express how glad I am I woke up alone in my own room. I packed my suitcase to be ready because after the meeting we're only coming back to the hotel for a while since the flight is early.
The morning was very calm and it lacked any kind of unpleasant surprises. Me and Downey had a friendly breakfast together and then went back to the offices for our second and last meeting. It went by the book fortunately. No mistakes, no questions we couldn't answer, no awkwardness. A perfect way to end this business trip.
We acted like nothing ever happened between us. We didn't refer to the events, we didn't flirt, we didn't do anything else. Actually we didn't even exchange many words all day. I'm not sure if I prefer him not talking to me or talking to me. I don't even know which one is less awkward.
I saw him again when we were leaving the hotel. He has a different outfit than I usually see him in. He's wearing dark jeans, a deep red blouse with a light brown jacket on top of it and matching sunglasses with red contacts. A beard is starting showing which also suits him beautifully. That's his casual look and I'm actually fond of it. It makes him look less bossy.
We followed the same drill and soon we were in the airplane on our first class seats. They're so comfortable and silent, just what I need to relax during our time here. The flight started and Downey turned on the TV in our booth. It had a movie playing, probably a comedy since I heard him chuckle every now and then.
He started getting more comfortable in his seat, spreading his arms and legs. I certainly didn't feel happy with my personal space being violated by him. I sighed and kindly moved his leg back to his space. He didn't even turn to look at me, maybe he didn't notice it. A few minutes later he started laughing intensely and his leg was even further into my space.
"Would you mind?" I ask annoyed pointing at his leg.
"Sorry, Ms. Beck, I didn't know I was bothering you so much" he says teasingly and takes his leg back.
I sigh desperately and look outside the window. It's been like half an hour since the flight started and I don't know if I can handle the one hour we have left. He laughs again loudly and moves his arms and legs up and down like a child.

I can't believe I'm attracted to this man.
His hand lands very close to my leg and at this point I'm not sure if he's doing that on purpose or not. Like, does he seriously want to annoy me this much? And like that wasn't enough, I can feel his knuckles brushing against my thigh. I exhale deeply and stand up. He gives me a quick look before looking back to the screen.
I go over to the first class bathroom which is much less crowded and better than the other one. I shut the door and before I even have the chance to lock it it gets wide open, almost hitting me. I try to scream but Downey's lips covering mine stop me from making any sounds.
