I sat in my office looking out at the skylines, the people, and cars commuting below.
'What if I was to drop a quarter from this high? Could it really give someone a concussion? Or was that just a myth?'
'I doubt it. Just like everything else, the quarter would be subjected to gravity and speed up as it fell, but the velocity wouldn't be enough. So a chair maybe?'
Just the thought of a chair 'accidentally' falling on someone was funny to me.
I was so lost in thought that I didn't even noticed you entering my office.
"Nice space you have here," your voice rang out.
I jumped and sucked in a breath.
'How can I miss someone like you?'
Your foot steps were so soft, I'm sure it would have made some sort of noise of the tiled floor.
"Yeah, I guess it is." I nodded.
I watched as you peered around the space, taking in every detail of my office.
'That's what happens when you are at the top of the ladder. This space was only reserved for the man himself, Mr Walker.'
'The CEO, CFO and me.'
'We were on top, and will never, ever fall.'
"I heard you were a receptionist before." You said, taking a seat on the sofa.
My face must have twisted, because you made a face at me. I tried my best to compose myself. I can't scare you off too quickly. We were just making grounds.
I nodded.
'Where are you going with this?'
I know that most people here have their dirty little speculations, that I slept with Mr Walker. Or that I'm his sugar baby, or some other disgusting fantasy of theirs.
'It was mostly because I rose to the spot in such a short time. But only if they knew.'
"I was.''
But I'm not up to being questioned about it.
"Did you finish with the new policy?" I raised a brow at the love of my life, who was just lazing on my sofa.
'Gotta be on your toes, babe.'
As much as I was madly in love with you, and wanted to jump you right here and now, I have to remain professional. I can't just fu*k another man in my office, well, not so soon at least.
I almost laughed at the thought of fu*king the computer nerd on my desk. It wasn't as I expected it to be. I was not in the least satisfied.
'But with you, I bet you will be all that and more.'
"So you said you know how to fish." You said, stretching out like you owned the place.
I nodded, "being the only child to an outdoorsy dad that's what happens, I was a tomboy for most of my years until the last part of high school."
I smiled at the memory.
"Baseball, hunting, all the things a man would teach his son, I did them. Daddy was so proud of me when I caught my first striped bass, and that one time a barracuda nipped my line, the old man told me to let go, but I was too determined. Almost tipped the boat over." I laughed at the good old days.
"And here I thought I was the pro at fishing." You smoothly ran a hand though you hair, looking as flawless as ever.
'I bit my lips. You make me hot and being here in this same space together, alone and uninterrupted. God, the things I want to do with you.
'I don't care if I'm drooling, I knew a few places that I would love to get my spit on and I'm sure you wouldn't mind.'
"So what anime do you like?" Your voice pulled me harshly from my fantasy.
'I see what's going on here, you're testing me, testing to see if I really like the things I said I did.'
"My all time favs are Full Metal Alchemist, both of them Brotherhood, Bleach, and now I can't wait for the third season of Seven Deadly Sins. Kill la Kill is to die for, oh the list is so long."
Even though you nodded, you weren't satisfied, "I'm impressed." You said, though.
"You thought I said all that just to pretend. I wouldn't. I would never pretend to get someone to like me. I don't care for the attention of people that much. I do love animals. I mean, my cat's name is Macaroni, well that's because of a joke that I can't live down." I explained.
'Why do you keep doing that? It's like you are trying to see into my soul, see what makes me tick.'
You came here for this very reason, just to see what I am about. Maybe I should switch it around and put you in the hot seat.
You stared at me for a while. Yes, I think I passed the test.
'Well, at least I hope I do.'
Which is wonderful, especially since I want you. It's funny how you thought that you were the one in the lead, but in reality, I just won.
'One step closer to you.'
'One step closer to us.'
Just then my office door opened, and in walked Mr Walker, he cast a look your way.
"Don't you have work to do?" Mr Walker's voice came out in a boom, causing you to jump.
'Oh, come on, can't he give you a break. Can't he see that we are busy here? This is our future I'm talking about.'
I watched sadly as you swiftly got to your feet, but thankfully you were stopped before you could leave.
"The H.R here, was actually asking me about recruiting more people for reception so we can have a better rotation." I said, thinking of something quickly.
"Are you sure that's not your idea?" Mr Walker asked.
I gave a smile.
"Please let Donovan know that I want to increase the Christmas bonus. A ten percent increase will be good enough." Mr Walker said with a smile.
'Oh, wow, that's a shocker. Mr Walker is a generous man, but this?'
"We have done more than excellent this fiscal year, I want to show my appreciation to my employees." Mr Walker gave you a pointed look.
"Of course." I nodded.
Just stop giving him that look.
Mr Walker pulled me into a hug. He pulled away, then looked down at me and rubbed my arms up and down, then hugged me again.
I could see you giving us quizzical looks.
'This is bad.'
'Please don't think that something is going on between us.'
"Christmas party will be at my place this year." Mr Walker left at that.
"Well, let me get back to work," you pointed over your shoulder.
'Fu*k, I can't lose you now, we were just making grounds.'
"There is nothing going on between us. I know that's the talk around here, but it's not like that." I tried to explain to you.
"I never said anything."
'You don't believe me.'
I watched your back as you leave, hating that you too now think that I'm fu*king the boss.
I always knew that you have some kind of feelings for, I see the way how you look at me. The way your eyes roam over my body and undress me. Even now, you were eye fu*king me. I tried to hide my smirk and pretend I wasn't doing the same.I wish we could run off in the bushes and fu*k right now. That would be much better than running for no reason, plus my breathing was getting hard, and I felt light-headed.'Oh please, can't we just sneak off and fu*k. No, we can't do that here.'But it can happen, we can fu*k all we want. There was just one person standing in the way, even though I don't even consider her as a person.And that said person was here jogging with us, in the half marathon.Olivia Wright.'This bitch, why can't you dump her? She is trash anyway.''She is no good for you. She is nothing, not the one for you. I am and I wish you would see that.'She didn't seem too happy when you introduced us, and the feeling was mo
'God, I can't get rid of this chick.'I swear, ever since we went jogging; she stuck to you even more. I guess she knows my intention.'Why was she even here?'For free food maybe? I hope that nobody expects me to pay for her, since I was the one that said I'll pay for our little lunch date.'Why are you having lunch with us?'Can't you afford your own food? Surely, you can do that.'Does she even work?'No, her clothes are too casual.Olivia was checking me out. She stared at my hair, my clothes and even my shoes by pretending to drop the salt shaker. She was trying to figure out what I had over her.'Everything Olivia, everything.'Her eyes basically glowed with envy. You wish you were me, wish you had half the things I have.You don't even have the slightest idea that Russell and I shared a kiss before coming here. Or how Russell told me that he's having a hard time staying with you, you have no idea abo
And here I was, having dinner with these two, sitting across from them in Olive garden. Munching on bread sticks and sipping water. 'Why did I ask to go to dinner again?' 'Oh yeah, to steal Olivia's best friend from right under her nose.' Felix wouldn't shut up about his art projects and wanting to go to Paris some day, and Olivia kept glancing at me. 'Intimidated much.' 'Oh Felix, shut up!' "Maybe I could introduce you to a friend, he owns an art exhibit, and is always scouting for new talent. I am sure that you two will hit it off, maybe even learn a thing or two from each other.'' 'Why did I just do that?' 'I only wanted you to shut up, but instead this might get you to talk more.' "You would really do that for me?" Felix flushed, smiled widely, then grabbed my hands from across the table and held onto them. "Why not?" I returned his smile, slightly pulling my hands so he would let them go. 'W
The few days leading up to the Christmas party, I gave Felix the time of his life.I took him to so many new places, introduced him to my people. Even got him a passport so that we can fly to Paris for the New Year.I also updated his style and his bank account.I didn't care that Olivia tagged along. I wanted her to watch as I take everything from her, even though it's not that much. I swear, if I knew anything about her family, I would take them under my wing as well.She was now in the back seat, no pun intended.'Soon you will be forgotten.'"Come on, tell me where we are off to today. You know I get gassy when nervous.'''Which I learnt the hard way and from standing behind Felix.'''You and I are just going to celebrate your success of having your first piece displaced. Nothing too big.''"Nothing too big? Hello, you always said 'go big or die'. You made all my dreams come through. You are like a fairy godmot
Felix came to my house to get ready, but I knew better. Even though the two of us were becoming fast friends, I knew that he came to snoop and relay everything back to that sneaking Olivia. But I'll let him. Olivia needs to see and understand that she has nothing on me, and Russell is mine. He was made for me, and I will make sure that I get him. "There is no way." Felix spawn around, admiring the place. His eyes sparkled as he admired from my chandelier, to the marble floors and even the paintings on the wall. "You either have a sugar daddy, or you're a trust fund baby." He pointed an accusing finger at my face. I laughed, but said nothing. 'I bet that was Olivia's thoery of me, she was trying so hard to figure me out. I know it must drive her nuts to not know what I am about.' "Well, lets get ready then.'' I pointed to one of my many spear rooms Felix could use to change. "What is going on between you and Russel
A problem, that's what you are, Olivia. A thorn in our fu*king side. Even Felix was getting annoyed with you. Russell was more than over you and I am pissed. I swear you are a dark cloud. You know just how to make a good day bad. You ruined our wonderful day, more like days. You showed up high as a kite at Russell's place when we were having a lovely movie night. You sat right in the middle of us, throw up and fell asleep in it. Then you had the nerve to just show up at the park and step all over our picnic. Ate our food, and complained saying that you didn't like the wine, simply because you have no taste in good things. You even created a scene at my cousin's restaurant, saying I'm a man stealer. Broke some really expensive chin
Not even a day after, and news broke about the dead body of a young woman in the alley behind an appliance store. I turned my radio down as the news reporter rant on about how disgusting the person who did it was, how they needed to be found and dealt with. 'If only they knew the type of person you were, Olivia. A worthless druggy who went around sleeping with men for money and drugs.' I did what I did for a reason; I did it to be with the one I loved, so that we can be together with no interruptions. As I drove around the corner, I spotted Felix sitting on the side of the road, with his head between his legs and an empty bottle by his side. 'Damn this kid, I completely forgot about him and how the death of this bi*ch would affect him.' 'Of course, I was the first person he would run to.' I wind the window down to get a better look at the sad little thing that was sobbing outside of my gate. "Hey there, Fe, what's
Two days, two whole days. That's how long I haven't seen you for. I know you can't be this divested about Olivia's death. She is a thing of the past. You are to make way for our future, which was why you left her. So where are you now? What have you been up to these past two days? A stop by your house, you aren't there. You called in sick. Even your phone is off. So where are you? At your friends? I don't even know who to call. Did you die? No, I can't allow my thoughts to go there. I doubt you would commit suicide over a girl like that. Then where have you gone? As I waited outside your place of residence, watching the old lady allowing her rat looking dog to shit on your step. I see a black SUV pulling up, when it drove off, there you were. With a backpack over your shoulders and a brown paper bag in hand. You looked around, as if you could feel my eyes on you, the
