Mr. Asshole and His Contract (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Chapter 9

SATURDAY MORNING

I woke up late to avoid having to spend the whole day at work with him knowing my answer . So I'm just here sitting on his desk receiving pep talks in a group chat with the Besties. I think Mr. Carson went to another lunch meeting but I can do this. I can say no, it shouldn't be that hard.

I have definitely been avoiding Nicholas for the past days.I haven't even been at my desk. It's too close to Nick. I haven't even seen him since his "proposal". It's funny because every time I look back on it, I think more and more about how I should have been prepared. Even before ,he said that he had a proposal for me. I just didn't think it was marriage. I knew my answer days ago. I guess I just dodged him because I would hate to see his face when I say no. I might be sassy but I don't really have the stomach for hurting feelings, I don't know. I guess I'm just complicated. I know he is going to be crushed because it's a serious matter but he should've thought this out more. I hardly know the guy it would be completely crazy for me to agree.

Once I heard the door open I looked up the see him. To say he was shocked would have been and understatement.
I'm pretty sure he thought I wasn't going to come in today, which I wasn't but I seriously had to get this off my chest plus I needed to get back to work so I could pay my bills.

"Ms. Sullivan, I wasn't expecting to see you today."

"Yeah well I have been avoiding you and today is the day."

He laughed a little, well an awkward type laugh. "That it is." He takes off his coat and put it on the hook. Then he strides toward me to stand directly in front of me while I'm still sitting on his desk.

He is so close I can feel the heat radiating off of him. I tried closing my eyes to take a deep breath to clear my head but that didn't really work since he was wearing cologne again but it was a different kind. Something that smells way better.

I opened my eyes and was about to tell him to back up. Give me my space. I'm claustrophobic. Take five steps back. You smell too good but my words got stuck and melted away somewhere. The look he was giving me was so intense that I couldn't handle it. It's like my body isn't reacting with my mind.

I closed my eyes again just to get away. "Mr. Carson, what did I tell you about your man fumes?"

"Hmm.. I think you said that they fuck with your head?"

Whoa. I opened my eyes in shock. I can't even lie. That was hot.
He was wearing a cocky smirk on his lips.

This brought me back to earth a little bit. "Then why do you insist on being this close to me?" I slide my body sideways on the desk to get away from him since he was trapping me.

"For the pleasure of messing with you and you are on my desk so I think I have the right."

He can't be serious. I hopped off the desk and put my phone in my blazer pocket. But me getting down only made the space between us shrink.

"So why haven't you moved back yet?"

"Because this time you're the one who closed the space between us."

"Because you told me to get off your desk so I did. I just assumed that you would move as well."

"Nope."

"Why are you so playful at the serious moment ?"

"I don't know. Maybe because I have my future wife in my arms." I looked up at him in shock.
This Man Is Bold. What the hell did he put in his Cheerios this morning? Courage??
"What's going to be your answer Jaxson?"
