Chapter 3 - Marry me

Marry me. He said it with a straight face. I stood there frozen . He inched closer towards me and said "say yes". " Why would I marry you? I barely know you." I said. I walked away from him and when I looked back he smirked at me.

The next day ate work, there was a strange vibe coming from everyone. My co-workers didn't seem to like me and my boss seemed to have some ulterior motive. During our meeting he kept staring at me and smiling. He would call out my name for no reason. I think even my co-workers thought something was up.

While working, Adam called me into his office. He said it was something about the way I was handling the calls from customers. I got up from my seat and walked toward his office. I opened the door and he tole me to close it and sit. I closed the door and took a seat. he got up from his and walked over to me. He put his hands on the sides of the chair I was sitting on. He leaned in closer to me and his lips were only inches from my lips. I couldn't stand it no more. I got up from my seat and walked towards the door. He quickly grabbed my arms and turned me around. I tripped over one leg and somehow we fell. I was laying on his chest. It felt so good. I tried to get up but he used his hand and pushed me back onto him. "What is your problem?" I asked him. " Marry me. If you marry me you can have whatever you want. Money. You got it. Clothes, shoes, jewelry. A house. You can have it. Just say that you will marry me." I was still confused. "What is so special about me that you would want to marry me. You never even met me" He looked like he was about t answer but then someone burst into the office. "Umm, Mr.Forrest I have a question abo...." Erica looked up and saw Adam and I laying on the floor on top of each other. "I can come back when you are finished" with that Erica left his office. Great, just great. I quickly got onto my feet and left his office. I went back to work like nothing happened but the question Adam kept asking me lingered into my mind. Why would he ask me of all people to marry him. He doesn't know anything about me.

As the day got on, it was time to leave. I packed up my stuff and walked towards the exit. As I got on the elevator, guess who got on too. Adam. It felt so awkward. all i wanted was for that elevator to go faster and reach the first floor. Finally, the elevator doors opened and I started sprinting so that Adam wouldn't approach me again. The bus didn't stop at the regular stop like it would in the day so I had to walk twenty blocks to get to the next bus stop. I already walked about two blocks and then a maniac driver almost hits me on the sidewalk. "This person. Are they crazy?" I went up to the driver to give them a piece of my mind. *Knock, Knock* "Hey are you crazy? Can't you see?" The driver rolled down the window. It was Adam. "Sorry milady. Would you like a ride? It's to show how sorry I am? " It was getting late and the bus stop was really far. "No funny business" I said. "I would never" I got into his car and closed the door. He reached over e and grabbed my seat belt to lock it in. "I could have done that. I have arms for a reason" I said. "I know, but I thought I would help you out. " he replied.

We reached my house and Adam said he wanted to talk about something. "Marry me." "Again?" I asked. "I know you think I don't know you but I do. I used to know you a long time ago but I think you forgot. But I will never forget the day I met you" I looked at him. "I would remember if I met you."But we were" he said with serious look on his face. He was dead serious.
