Our Affection

15. Home

It's been almost a week since Zach has been our boss. He is very serious in his work and I get so busy while arranging his meetings and attending them and noting every important details. For others the bossy side of him is scary but I love this side of him. Wait love, no I mean to say like. I like his bossy side.

Yesterday I saw Zach was scolding one of my colleague Peter when Zach found that Peter didn't complete his presentation on time. He was shouting so loudly that I believe everyone heard even I got scared. After a while he called me in is office, I was so scared that I couldn't look at his face.

"Nina, I want you to call everyone who is in the list and arrange a meeting for tomorrow at sharp 9 am."

"Okay, Mr Edison."

"Nina" He sounded pissed. I looked at him and saw his angry face. "Always, always look at me when I talk okay"

I looked at him and said okay. Then all of a sudden he calmed down. "Are you scared of me?" Hell yeah I was. Before I could say anything he again spoke. This time in a soft tone like he always uses. "Nina you don't need to be afraid of me, I will never be angry with you okay." I nodded.

So it's sharp 9 am and boy looks like everyone is scared of him because every clients are on time. Note 1: I should always be on time . I had already arranged the meeting room and now the meeting has started. Zach opened his laptop and spoke,

"Good morning everyone, I am glad everyone is here. So, I wanted to arrange this meeting to talk about the new project we are soon going to launch ... "

I listened everything Zach said and noted every important details on my diary. The meeting lasted for 3 hours. Man that was long! It was already 12 and as I have half day off on Friday, my shift was over. I locked my room and said goodbye to Diana who was on the reception and then headed home. I went home and decided to take long hot bath to be stress free. After the shower, I opened the laptop and started watching movies.

It was around 6 when my phone rang. It was Zach. I wonder why he's calling me now. I picked up his call. "Hey Nina, what are you doing?" Zach asked me.

I replied," Nothing much, just watching some movies. What about you?"

Zach again spoke," I just came home. I had nothing to do much so I was getting bored. Can I come over your place? We could watch movies together like we used to."

"Yeah sure." I replied shortly. I mean this may be the first time we are meeting outside the office since he became my boss but he has been my friend for a long while.

"Great, see you in 15 minutes." Then he ended the call.

So, after exactly 15 minutes, he came to my home. Man, he is so punctual. Then we started watching movies. Like always , he let me choose the movie and now we are watching The Avengers. After finishing watching The Avengers, Zach suggested to watch a horror movie. I don't like horror movies at all but I couldn't show how scared I am to Zach. So, now we are watching a horror movie.

It has just being 30 minutes and I am scared as hell. Just when I thought the scary part is over, A scene came where a ghost came in the screen unexpectedly and guess what I screamed and hugged Zach so tightly. Suddenly, I heard someone's laughing and what I saw was so rare. Zach was laughing so hard that I suddenly stopped feeling scared. All I did was admired his beauty. He looks so handsome.

After laughing for about 15 minutes, Zach stopped and said "Nina, why didn't you tell me that you are afraid of horror movies? We could have watched some other movies. Damn, your expression was priceless."

I feel so embarrassed so I covered my face with blanket. "Aww, Nina don't be shy now. You looked so cute when you got scared and hugged me like a little kid" Zach said pulling the blanket. Come on Nina, you're not a child. I looked at him and said "Yeah, let's talk about something else."

"Sure Nina, what do you want to talk about?" Zach said coming to sit next to me. I still feel so weird when he sits close to me but can't deny I feel safe when he is close to me. "So, Zach, tell me something about Canada .I haven't been there".

"Sure Nina. So, I moved to Canada after completing my highschool. I started my own business with my bestfriend Noah. I have my main office there which Noah is looking after for now."

When he said for now, I immediately asked him. "So, you will return back to canada?"

He looked at me directly into my eyes. " I have to go back."

This made me very sad. But then he said"but I am coming back here. I opened my company there so that I don't have to return back here but now I have got reason to stay here."

"What reason? Your family?" I asked him.

"Yes but mostly you. You've changed my life Nina. You make me do crazy things. You don't like fancy things. You have such a simple yet happy life and whenever I am with you I feel normal and happy. What I am trying to say is that you have become my home, the safest place where I am true me."

After hearing what Zach said I couldn't control myself. So, I kissed him like there's no tommorow. He also kissed me back with the same intensity. We poured our all feelings in that kiss. We pulled apart to breathe. And when I looked at his eyes, I saw love in them.

Then we started talking about random things. He told me that we will be having a huge party coming month in the company where all the shareholders will come. He was telling something about the party but I felt myself feeling sleepy.

I felt someone carried me and put blankets on me. I felt something beside me and then cuddled with it and fell in sleep completely.
