"I'll be taking a day off Mr.Jordan" Lilly stated as she sat on the bed rubbing her eyes like a kiddo who refused to go to school.
"Seriously? After all these days! After all nights cuddling with me! You're gonna call me Mr.Jordan again? And that too sitting on MY bed?" Jordan scoffed out of disbelief, shaking his head while buttoning up his shirt.
"Oh my! For a second I thought you were scolding me about taking a day off!" Lilly cutely uttered with wide eyes, pressing her palm against her heart as if she was scared.
He slowly walked towards her. "Why would I ever scold you, you can take a day off whenever you want. Making you my personal assistant was just an excuse to have you always by my side" He pecked her forehead, trying to assure her.
A wave of guiltiness hit her, seeing how loyal and affectionate he was, her light smile dropped down making him worried. "Are you ok? Is something wrong? Are you sick?" He questioned out of concern while checking if her temperature was high.
Without wasting a single second she quickly stood up and hugged him tight as if her life depended on it! He was surprised to see her reacting like this but soon hugged her back smiling, drawing her even closer. "What? You already miss me?" He playfully teased her.
For an unknown reason her tears were welling up and threatened to roll out of her eyes but she controlled it before nodding at his question, tightening her grip around him.
"Woah! I never saw you like this before! Are you sure you are- Hey are you crying?" He got tensed for a second before caressing her tears away. His mind was puzzled about her sudden break down.
"If something is bothering then you have to share it with me Lilly, don't keep it to yourself. Are you stressed about something?"
She slowly shook her head with a light smile. "Thanks for always being there for me".
Her words caught him offguard.
"What are you talking about? I should be the one thanking you for bringing a change in my boring life"
They both chuckled at his statement.
She pulled out of the hug and stared at his face for a few seconds which confused him but he remained calm, carefully observing her moves. This time it was her who decreased the proximity and leaned in before slowly pecking his lips. It lasted a little longer than a peck would. This was a whole complete new feeling for him.
"I wish I could get this every morning ..."
She giggled out of shyness "You should get going or else you'll be late for work" She suggested with a smile which made him pout as if he didn't want to go at all.
...
Jordan finished his breakfast and was heading out but stopped as he remembered something. "If you want to go out when bored, take David with you. It isn't safe outside for you to go alone and also if you need something just call me ok?"
"What if I need you?"
His heart instantly skipped a beat by the words that just left her mouth. He stood blank for a while ...
'You know what? Let me take a day off too" He declared before throwing his keys aside and removing his blazer.
Her breath hitched since that was the least thing she wanted to happen. Trying to play it cool she chuckled out loud at his comeback before sprinting towards the key that was lying and picking it up to give it to him. "I was just kiddin-"
"Without me?"
"I was JOKING around, you have two important meetings today so you can't miss!" She giggled while changing the topic. "You must leave!"
"Just wait until I comeback! We gotta have a serious talk!" He declared with a dirty smile on his face which made her to blush hard.
"Take care" He hugged her for one last time and left.
Lilly stood glued to her spot, her smile slowly faded as she lost herself into her thoughts while his figure slowly disappeared. She was again hit with a wave of guiltiness. She felt guilty for taking advantage of his trust but she had no choice.
"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO SEND HIM OFF LILLY? What were you even doing with him in the room? *Huffs* We should have gotten our things done before the maid could even enter into the house but see now she is already here! We have to wait for another FRICKING three hours until she leaves!!" David whisper yelled at her with his annoyed face.
Lilly was so busy in her thoughts to notice his anger but instead she let out a long sigh "Then we'll go search for the file after the maid leaves"
Seeing the change in her behavior David scowled "Don't tell me you are feeling guilty for him! Don't let the feelings control you Lilly! The purpose of us being here is different so its better if u don't get DIVERTED!" He warned and left.
...
The maid just left after finishing her work. The house was now empty, It was the perfect time for Lilly and David to sneak into Jordan's office. She handed the key which Jordan had hid in his closet. David quickly unlocked Jordan's office door. They both quickly walked to the racks of files and searched for the one that they desperately needed.
The seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours but they still couldn't find the file. There was now only one rack left to check. They both looked at eachother with wide eyes as they heard the sound of the entrance gate opening and a car moving in to its parking lot.
Jordan Dean was back HOME!
