The meal was very harmonious and I felt a new atmosphere developing between me and Allex. I knew he was my boss but the attraction was too great for me and I could not help but want to be close to him, I know some people would judge me but I could not resist the way his charming side was slowly pulling me into its current.
The music was playing in the background and I found myself looking intensely at this demigod in front of me as he was beginning to grow on me. I don't know how but it seemed like ever since that punishment that night I had started to have some ideas about my Boss.
'remember Emma you are not from his social class you can only treat him as your main that's it', I found my subconscious slapping me in the face with this revelation.
I then saw several missed calls from Amber and Brittany and decided to excuse myself to visit the bathroom since we were now waiting for the dessert or was it going to be me? This subconscious of mine will get me into trouble I thought as I felt my cheeks heating up at this thought.
While in the ladies restroom, I video-called this minion of mine.
"girl you tripping, now someone is looking good", Brittany quickly said.
"well I miss you too please stop this attitude of yours Brittany before you chase all your suitors down the road", I told her.
"girl it's you who we think will die a single dog as for me and Brittany don't worry soon we will have to invite you to our weddings", Amber said.
I had missed my girls and now the conversation with them always made me feel at home and loved.
"Well, my point is that we have all been busy with our careers how about a little girls hook up tonight at Brian's club? What do you say Emma and please leave your arrogant attitude at home we want to have fun", Brittany said on the other end.
"am sorry guys am having dinner with my boss so you have fun on my part so I will talk to you later. Bye ", I said as I ended the video call with them.
I then decided to rearrange my makeup and left the room as I was now taking much time inside.
'well someone looks happy", Alex sarcastically said looking at me.
Thus when I noticed that a smile was plastered on my face it was embarrassing in front of my boss.
"am sorry for taking too much time ", I apologetically said.
"no problem I was saying it seems as if someone is now capable of making that always stern face of yours smile and I have to say you look beautiful when you smile", he said and I felt my cheeks turning hot red with a blush.
"we can debate on that it's you who always have this cold unapproachable face all day at times it makes me scared and wanna run for my life", I said whilst trying to hide my blush from his site.
"so Miss Stone now tell me what you think of me now", he said playfully. Is it my dirty mind but I think he was trying to flirt with me ooh my gosh.
"well you are cool and surprising let's just say kind", I said.
"stingy with your evaluation here well we will see in the future the night is still young let's see how shining the stars will be maybe I will get a more essay evaluation than this", he said shaking the wine in his glass. Now am sure this guy was busy flirting with me in broad daylight the nerve.
"we will see", I said as I found myself unable to say any more words. At first, I was not sure but now I see he had already grown on me geez.
The dessert was served and we ate it in silence but the eyes were speaking on their own and their conversation was making me quite shy and nervous. We paid for our food and left the place but to my surprise, we were not taking the way to the car park but walking in a different route.
"uh sir I think we are taking a different route the car is this way", I said as I pointed out where we had left the car earlier when we came to the restaurant.
"yes, I think how about we take a walk to help us with the metabolism rate I am too full. I hope it's okay with you", he said and I couldn't help but think about the night It was still a young phrase he had said earlier is this guy serious?
"okay let's go", I followed behind him just like a scared cat.
"Can you stop walking behind me came here', he said as he held my hand and positioned me to walk beside him.
It felt like teenagers who had gone out on a date but in contrast, I was accompanying my boss around.
"Emma", he called.
"yes sir", my reflex mode answered as I was pulled out of my thoughts.
"Can you at least call me by my name please the way you call me sir still makes me have these goosebumps and makes me uncomfortable", he said and I was like really?
"But si…..", I was about to say when suddenly my mouth was covered with warm lips and I then closed my eyes savoring his lips and he pulled away.
When I looked at him he did not look repulsed that he had just kissed me and I found myself touching my lips unbelieving what had taken place or I was hallucinating that maybe the wine I had from earlier was making me see things.
"that was a little punishment if you ever call me sir I will kiss you", he said self-righteously.
"Now look over here we have reached this cinema and how about we rest for the time being watching a movie", he said as he looked at me with expectant eyes. Since he had already spoilt my mind I could not say no.
We entered the cinema and everywhere people were looking at us. We purchased our tickets and thus when I found out that he had selected a horror movie I was terrified by them and I knew my end had come.
We grabbed our popcorn entered the dimly lit room and waited for the movie to start.
As soon as the sound started to get creepy I found myself covering my eyes because of the fright and I heard a light chuckle which was magnetic near my ears.
'well my dear you could have said you hate horror we could have gone for a more girly movie", he teased me.
"Who said I am afraid of them it's just the sound was too loud that's why", I defended myself but as the movie progressed I found myself breathing heavily. This genre always made me scared from a very small age.
Alexander then covered my ears and he carried me princess-like as we left the room soon we entered another room that was playing a classic movie which was Charlie Chaplin and it was humorous and I found myself laughing uncontrollably.
Along the intervals, I then realized that Alex had long shifted from the movie and he seemed to be in his world as well as he was looking at me with careful and adoring eyes. Did I say adoring let's say love this change from the cold arrogant Alex to this stranger beside me was getting me worked up.
