Jack and I were currently seated at the diner that he introduced me to. The diner was actually pretty cute and they've got some really interesting food on their menu, which I'm familiar with some of them.

"See anything you like?" Jack asked, getting my attention. I looked up from the menu and smiled at him.

"Oh um, I think I'll just get the classic cheeseburger with a large fries"

Soon after our food arrived, we started to chat and get to know each other. We decided to do questions and answers.

"So," he started, "Do you have any siblings?"

"Nope, I'm an only child" I responded. "What's your favorite food?"

"Probably pizza or any type of Italian food really. Do you have a best friend?"

"Yeah, her name is Lucy"

"What's she like?"

"She's...very different from me"

"Really? How?"

"Well, she cares about her appearance a lot. She's a party animal, drinks more than I do and she's a little crazy" I said as I giggled a bit.

"So, how long have you been working at Lockwood Industries?"

"Oh this is my second week working there. So about a week, I guess"

"Oh cool" he smiled again.

Ugh! He has such a cute smile.

We just talked for the remaining time before we headed back to Lockwood Industries.

I was just casually working in my office, until I heard the intercom in my office go of.

"Riley, come into my office, NOW" I heard the aggressive voice of Mr. Lockwood echo through my office.

Sighing deeply, I got up from chair walked to his office. He usually responded with a "Come In" when I knocked.

I opened the door and was met with his back facing me as he was facing the large windows in his office that looks over the city.

"You needed to see me, Sir?" I asked, with nerves inside me.

"Yes" he said as he turned around to face me, "Where were you during your lunch break?"

"I went to this diner down the street.

I actually went with Jack. He introduced me to the diner and offered to pay for my food"

As soon as he heard his name, his facial expression suddenly changed from normal to anger. His eyes turned dark and he raised his head to look at me while placing his hands on his desk.

"Why were you having lunch with Jack?" He asked, with so much hatred in his voice.

I gulped down the lump in my throat. He was beyond scaring me now.

"Well, I didn't know where to have lunch and he was just being kind" I gently smiled at him.

He scoffed.

"You could have just asked Annabelle" he said as he started to walk around his desk towards me and stopped.

"She was already having lunch with Caleb" I answered.

"You could have asked me. I told you on your first day here, you could ask

me anything" he said.

"Yeah, but Jack is such a sweet guy" I soon as I said that, he looked as if he was about to explode.

"Riley, if you talk to Jack again, he'll be fired" he said in a deep voice.

What?!

I don't want Jack to lose his job because of me...Ugh!

I just stood there silently, not knowing what to say next, until he started to move towards me again, for me to start walking backwards.

"Riley", he started as I felt the wall make contact with my back. He placed both of his hands on both sides of my face on the wall and leaned in.

Our faces were only inches apart.

"Do you know how HOT you look in that dress. I don't know what it is, but you're driving me insane" he said, looking at me, intensely.

Suddenly, he placed his beautiful lips that I've been wanting to kiss ever since I met him, on mine. He was kissing me deeply and with so much passion. As soon as his hands moved down to my waist, I immediately responded to the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck.

We were just standing there, passionate making out, by a wall. Until he lifted me up, with my legs wrapped around his waist, and he carried me over to his desk, without breaking the kiss.

He continued to kiss me deeply as he cleared his desk with his free hand and gently layed me there. As we kept kissing, I realized that it just got more and more intense. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as my hands found their way into his beautiful soft hair as his hands moved up and down my body:

Finally, we both pulled away, catching our breath from the insane, breathtaking kiss we just shared and just looked at each other.

That was the best kiss I've ever had in my life and it was with my boss...
