When dad was finally discharged from the hospital I tried my possible best to always be there for him. I took a month leave from the office to take care of dad. He is always so weak and complaining of headaches. The doctor suggested for him to go on bedrest and not to do any strenuous activity.
My time at home was spent by his bedside watching him sleep and in the kitchen preparing his meals.
Its been three weeks now and he was still the same- the headaches were still constant and the doctor's order was still the same; he should be on bedrest
As I stayed in the kitchen preparing breakfast, I heard the sound of the doorbell.
Who could be visiting at this time? We never have visitors. I thought idly as I strolled to the door. Opening it I saw the last person I was ever expecting to be at my house. My boss; like the CEO of the company - Micheal Stewart. What is he doing here? Was he here to sack me because I haven't been at work? But boy does he look so handsome; he looks better wearing casual clothes than he does with his corporate wear. He looks so mouthwate- wait, he is your boss; stop eye raping him, my subconscious reminded me. Oh right
I looked up just in time to see him smiling at me. Omg!!!!! He looks so good smiling, his lips were pink and they look so yummy. I wonder how they would feel-
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard him laughing.
"I'm glad I'm the object of your fantasy Miss Smith" he said while still chuckling
My cheeks grew hot as I thought about what he said; he heard me. I must have spoken out loud. When I regained my composure, I tried to think of anything to say when I saw him examining me. I was in my pjs which consisted of a top and short shorts. Gosh, of all days for him to visit it had to be today?
"Would you allow me in or we continue eye raping eachother?"
Is he seriously flirting with me right now? I thought as I led him to the livingroom.
I excused myself as I went to my room to change to sweatpants and a top pulling my hair into a messy bun on top my head before coming downstairs.
I met him going through the framed family pictures on the wall and smiling.
"Hey, can I serve my dad his breakfast real quick?"
"Sure take your time"
I got to dad's room and saw him still resting. I woke him up to eat while telling him about my boss's visit. He excused me to keep Micheal company.
I went back to the living room and saw him back on the chair.
"Do you want anything to drink sir?" I asked him quietly
"No, thank you. I actually came to see you so please have a seat"
Wow, this must be a very serious topic. I thought while sitting opposite him.
When he saw I was sitting, he started, "Well for starters you've been absent from work for three weeks now and I found out from your immediate boss that you took a month's leave due to family emergency. As the CEO I thought to check up on you and make sure everything is okay"
I nodded as he continued
"Is everything ok miss Smith?"
I opened my mouth and told him everything that happened and why I took my leave. I was so glad to confide in someone else about dad's condition. It felt so good to let it out of my chest.
I didn't even realize I was crying until I was engulfed into a warm chest.
"Its okay; he'll be alright" he repeated it until my sobs turned to sniffles.
When I got hold of myself I realized I was sobbing into my boss' top probably already wet with my tears. He didn't seem to mind though as he kept on rubbing my back which by the way was so soothing. I took advantage of the fact that I was buried into his chest to sniff him. He smelt so good; like apples and leather. I decided there and then that his chest was my favorite place to be. I felt his chest vibrating and wondering what was causing it and I saw him chuckling silently to himself.
"I see you are better now since you've concerned yourself with sniffing me. I hope my scent is up to your standards miss Smith"
He definitely caught me sniffing him. I felt my cheeks going hot from embarrassment. I can't believe he caught me.
I disentangled myself from him to save myself from further embarrassment and moved far away from him.
I don't even know what I was thinking about when I let myself get carried away with his scent. He is my boss and he's way out of my league. I shouldn't be catching feelings for someone who probably visited because of the company's policy not because he was missing me or something- not like we are even close; just employer and employee. I should keep this visit very professional.
He probably has a girlfriend and I wouldn't want to come between both of- why the hell am I even thinking towards that direction not like I want to be his girl? I questioned myself
"I have to get going now miss Smith. I have a meeting to attend but be sure to hear from me soon"
I stood up to usher him out when he moved close to me. I actually don't know what happened but the atmosphere changed. I looked into his eyes and noticed his eye colour- dark brown; it is so alluring and I could get lost in its depth which was currently pulling me in right now, his face was well sculptured without any blemish, he left his beards which was well shaped, his hair which was black was tousled in a way that looked like he ran his hand through his hair several times but still had that sexy look, his nose was pointed giving a sharp edgy look to his face; finally my eyes landed on his pink lips looking so yummy and enticing. I felt the air knocked out of me when he licked his lips slowly and sensually. I noticed him leaning towards me. Was he going to kiss me? As much as I wanted him to kiss me, I wasn't ready for that quite yet.
As I continued fidgeting, I didn't notice he was already close to me until I felt his breath tickling my ear. It wasn't after he left that I registered his words; "As much as I know that I'm hot we wouldn't want anything to get into your mouth, would we?"
That was when I realized that not only was I staring at him, my mouth was wide open too.

Hey guys I know I probably deserve some beatings for leaving you hanging but writer's block coupled with laziness prevented me from writing.
Not to worry though, its in my calender to finish up the book this month so my updates would be more regular.
