The Good in You

"Gabrielle. We have a lot to talk about. Why don't you take a seat." His voice is deep yet smooth like silk. I almost fall for it... almost. Straightening my posture I clear my Throat and walk towards my desk.

"Alexander. You are in MY office.. how about you take a seat." I mock back to him taking off my coat and laying it over my chair. I hear a light chuckle come from him as I sit down and cross my legs waiting.
It was a beautiful laugh, the kind that would carry onto others if heard. The sound you could listen to all day. Shaking those thoughts away I watch as he takes a seat and gets comfortable. Asshole. Don't get comfortable in my office.

"As you already k-" I'm quick to grab some files and cut him off.

"I will not be getting married Alexander, so if there isn't anything else you know where the door is." Looking up with a smile I lock eyes with deep blue grey ones, and they look far from happy.
