It was now 11:30pm and I was at work on a Thursday afternoon. This day has been going terribly!

I've been avoiding Mr. Lockwood again, because there's something happening to me.

Every time I'm around him, I feel this strong pull towards him. And I can't stop whatever I'm feeling. I have tried to resist the urge to kiss him with everything I've got every time I'm around and believe me, it's not the easiest thing to do.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the intercom in my office went of.

"Riley, please come to my office. I need to talk to you" I heard his deep voice again.

Why?!!Ugh!

I slowly got up from my seat and made my way over to his office.

~~~

"Riley," he started, "Look at me"

I ignored him and kept my gaze on the floor of his office. I heard him walked towards as he placed his index finger under my chin, lifting it so my gaze met with his gorgeous blue ones.

"I want you to come to lunch with me" he said casually, surprising me.

"But Sir, isn't that against the rules?" I asked him.

Really Riley? Against the rules?

Well, I'm saying that to avoid him. Of course I would love to have lunch with him.

"No it's not against the rules, Beautiful" he smirked at me.

Oh, that smile makes my heart melt! And did he hurt call me beautiful?

That somehow got my cheeks to turn pink.

"You look cute when you blush" he said, showing me his gorgeous smile.

"Y-You think I'm b-beautiful?"

"Of course you're beautiful. You're the most gorgeous girl I've ever laid my eyes on"

This caused my cheeks from turning pink to bright red.

"T-Thank you" I gently smiled at him.

"You're very welcome. So what do you say? Do you wanna have lunch with me?"

"Uh sure. Let me just grab my purse" I said turning to go back to my office when he reached out and grabbed my wrist.

"Don't worry about that, I'll pay"

"Okay"

We were now seated at a very fancy restaurant, that had a menu of food item of which I was not familiar with most of them.

Soon, a male waiter came to our table and I noticed that he particularly stared at me quite a lot.

"What could I get you today?" He asked, his eyes still fixed on me. I turned to Mr. Lockwood who had anger burning in his eyes, as if he's gonna kill the poor waiter.

We gave our his order.

"Would you like anything else?" The waiter asked. I was about to respond but Mr. Lockwood beat me to it.

"Yes, I would suggest you take your filthy eyes of girl if you wanna keep you job" he said, with so much hatred in his voice.

My girl? I'm his girl?

I looked at the poor waiter who had fear in his eyes before he turned away to get our food.

Mr. Lockwood and I basically just got to know each other more over our lunch break.

And to be honest, I really enjoyed it.

"Thank you for accompanying me at lunch, Riley" Mr. Lockwood said as we taking in his office.

I was getting ready to go home but he wanted to thank me again.

"Oh your welcome Mr. Lockwood" I smiled at him.

"Also my parents are hosting a charity ball tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me" he asked, with a sign of hope in his eyes.

A charity ball? Sounds cool but I've never met his parents before. Or been to one...

"Oh uh, sure. I'd love to, Mr. Lockwood"

"Riley... I want you to start calling me Zach from now on" he said suddenly so serious.

My eyes widened when I heard that.

"But Mr. Lockwood, everyone here calls you Sir or by your last name. It's more professional"

"Yes but, your not everyone Riley. You're my assistant. So do not call sir or Mr. Lockwood again"

"But I can't do that sir"

"Riley...if you call me sir again, I will kiss those gorgeous soft lips senselessly again...like I did yesterday" he said, smirking as he started walking towards me, getting me to walk backwards.

I stopped walking when my back came in contact with the wall in his office. I looked up at him with his blue eyes staring intensely at me.

Since I didn't know what to say, I started to bite my lip, something I do when I'm nervous.

"Don't do that" he said as he brought up a finger stopped me from biting

my lip which sent an sweet feeling throughout my body.

"I like you, Riley" he said grabbing both of my wrists and pinning them on the wall and looked intensely at me again.

"But S-Sir I-"

As soon as I said Sir, he interrupted me by kissing me...senselessly like he said he would, causing my mind to go blank.

I tried to protest or else I would kiss him back but I couldn't really protest since my hands were pinned against the wall.

But when his hands let go of my wrists and slid to my waist, wrapping his strong arms around, I gave up on the protesting, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back passionately like he was doing with me.

Once again, we were just causally making out until he pulled back and looked into my eyes, giving me his million dollar smile.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Riley" he said as he kissed my cheek and left his office, leaving me flustered in his office.

He likes me? Me! Riley, the girl who has nothing special about herself.

I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think Lucy might be right about...
