Summary: Ricky falls for his beautiful secretary even though he knows it's wrong. But he knows to never act on it, but one can only hold back for so long.
***********************************************
He knew he was a goner the second she stepped into his office.
He'll never forget the day. May 18, 2014, it was a beautiful morning. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, he didn't encounter any traffic, and he even found a $20 on the street.
He thought that maybe it was all a coincidence that these good things were happening on this lovely day, but he realized that it was because fate brought him the most perfect human being in the world.
Nina Salazar Roberts.
He was taken aback by her appearance. She wore a black pencil skirt and a white blouse with black heels. Her hair was up in a tight bun and she had rosy red lips. She was stunning, and it was hard for him to stop staring at her.
She had been so nervous for the interview. He could tell by the nervous ticks she was giving him such as her shaking her leg, blushing when she'd stutter, and fidgeting with her skirt. She had nothing to worry about though.
Her resume was extremely impressive and it turned out she'd be a perfect fit for his secretary for his skating equipment firm. Knowing that no one else could compare to her, he hired her on the spot.
She had looked so astonished, but she soon smiled and gave him a firm handshake stating how excited she was to start. His heart warmed up at the feeling of her hand in his. He wanted to hold her hand forever.
Six years later, and his little crush eventually became a strong liking which then turned into love. He refused to ever act on his true feelings knowing how unethical, unprofessional, and not to mention taboo it'd be to have relations with your attractive secretary.
One of them would have to resign if they decided to pursue a relationship, which isn't what he wants for either of them. But that didn't mean he didn't try to give a few hints over the years.
He usually did this by giving her extravagant Christmas gifts every year compared to the other employees (in secret of course because the others would get jealous or suspicious), or he would find a way to sit by her just so he could graze his leg against her.
The only person who knew of his little thing for her was his best friend and right hand man Big Red who he was currently talking to in his office.
"Dude, I'm thinking we should totally invest in buying heelys."
Ricky makes a disgusted face. "Heelys? Those things aren't skating related, and they're totally out of style!"
"But they're making a comeback!"
"I'm sorry, but no."
A knock came at his door and in came his favorite employee with a stack of papers.
"Sorry to interrupt gentleman. I was just dropping off some files."
Nini plopped the papers down and began walking away before Big Red gently grabbed her wrist.
"Wait before you go, do you think we should invest in heelys? There's only one right option. I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with mess and is the opposite of no."
Ricky rolled his eyes. "For the last time, we aren't investing in heelys!"
Nini started fidgeting with her skirt, which Ricky knew was a nervous tick of hers. "I feel like this conversation doesn't involve me."
