He smirks at me, 'I see you're handling that pretty well!'
I raise my glass in the air, 'Ayeeee I am!' and down the rest of its' contents.
He chuckles at my antics and leans down on the counter next to me eyeing me up and down like a predator, 'You know if you need a welcome distraction I'm always available'.
I lean closer to him smirking, 'Really and what does this distraction involve?'
He chuckles and his pupils dilate, 'I think we both know what I mean, but if you want me to spell it out' he leans in closer and the liquid courage coursing through my veins, gives me the boost I need. I lean into him and close my eyes, waiting for him to kiss me.
Instead of feeling his lips on mine, like I expect, I feel nothing but air for way too long for my liking. I open my eyes with a pout and look up, instead of seeing cute bar boy in front of me; it's the exact person that I didn't want, Nikolai. He's standing way to close to my face for my liking, with a scowl on his achingly handsome face.
I look around and cute bar boy is nowhere to be seen. I growl at Nikolai, 'What the hell are you doing here?' and I continue looking past him trying to spot cute bar boy so that he can give me a convenient excuse to get away from here.
'Don't bother wasting your time I've already gotten rid of your little friend there!' he says darkly.
I reel from this news and turn on him like a viper, spitting out, 'You had no fucking right! Who the hell do you think you are interfering in my personal life? Business is one thing, but my personal life is mine!'
He grabs my arm and snarls at me, 'The hell it is! This had always been a business trip from the get-go. So your time is my time and what I say goes!'
I slam his arm off with more force than necessary and fall off the bar stool, landing on the ground, earning a few stares from other people. He ignores the stares and grabs me to pull me up and I slap his hand off, falling on my ass again. 'Stop being ridiculous, and take my hand already Jasmina!' I promptly ignore him.
The few drinks I've had, are already making me lose my sense of direction, but I'm sober enough to get back up on my own, without the likes of him touching me. So I grab my bag and lift myself off the ground, glaring at him the entire time, while he just watches me scramble to my feat like a lion tracking its prey. I turn around dismissing him, and start to head off back to the room. 'Don't walk away from me! I'm not finished with you!'
I swerve my body around and wave my hands in the air, with my eyes wide like a mad woman, 'Well NEWS FLASH! I am! Goodbye!' and I turn off ready to be out of here.
'Don't test me Jasmina, I've already forgiven you for going after that piece of trash just then'.
I freeze in my tracks, my blood beyond the point of boiling. It's practically molten waiting to burst out. I'm.Testing.Him…rightttt!
I have never met someone so egotistical, rude or high handed. As if he has any right whatsoever about who I choose to talk to or screw. We'll just see whose testing who, when I disappear tomorrow and hand in my resignation letter at the Milordov Corp Headquarters. Then we'll see whose testing who bitch.
My shoulders shake with psychotic mirth at this situation and what I'm planning to do. 'Are you actually laughing right now?' he asks incredulity and anger lining his voice.
I shake my head at myself and refuse to engage with him anymore and make a beeline for the elevator, pressing the button with a furious pace. Hoping it'll take me away and fast. The Elevator doors open and I wait for this old couple to get out, I finally get in after what felt like the longest 2 minutes of my life and adamantly tap the button that closes the elevator doors.
I breathe a sigh of relief as the doors begin to shut. But before it can fully shut, someone's hand slips in the middle of the two doors, preventing the elevator from shutting, and the sensors open the door yet again. Much to my dismay.
When they open again I am met with the furious gaze of Nikolai.
What the hell did I do in my past life for this to happen to me? I mentally slap myself for not taking the damn stairs.
He struts in like he owns this elevator.
Nikolai waits for the doors to shut and the elevator to start moving before he presses the emergency stop button. The elevator comes to a jarring holt.
