THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY (Author's Personal Favorite)

Ice

JENNIE

Been waiting for Lisa for like an hour here outside her apartment. She actually doesn't know I'm picking her up. Why the fuck am I even doing this?

It's 8am and we have to be at Neil Gaiman's office by 930.

I saw her from afar getting out of her apartment building and I drove to the path lobby right away.

"Hey."
I said when I opened the window.

She leaned her elbows down on the window. Damn. Looking so handsome and pretty and sexy and hot and ugh.

"Hey! You passed by. Good morning, boss."
She said. Jesus, why do I find this human so attractive?

"Come in. Let's go together."
I said and she got in.

We passed by the drive thru and got some bread and coffee. She insisted to pay for it and we just ate along the way.

Lisa is really good-looking. I can't let the time pass not taking a glance at her. Her jawline is perfect. Her lips will make your own jaw drop by just looking at her.

Shit. I'm too obvious.

"Yes?"
She asked.

I shook my head.

"Are you still nervous?"
She asked and I nodded.

"When it comes to the design, I will talk about it. The rest is yours. You can handle that. You're a good businesswoman and you're also one of the best authors I know."
She said and I just smiled.

"I have read all your books."
She said. Again, not looking at me.

I smiled. Checked my face on the mirror and shit I'm blushing. This is not you, Jennie.

"And you're prettier when- when you smile."
She added in a cold expression still not looking at me.

Fuck. My face is probably so red right now. I have to retain my composure.

We reached NG's office and we started to present to the man himself. I was so nervous. I even got more nervous when Lisa rubbed my thigh and told me to relax.
She then got surprised of what she did too and apologized.
God. I took some air to breath because I- I felt some little sparkling sensation.

I did my part presenting my proposals for his book and now she is the one presenting the design cover to NG in a smart and persuading way. She really knows what the vision is.
The great author liked it in an instant!

"Jennie, you should never let go of Lisa. She and her team are really promising."
He said. We got it!
I smiled at him and nodded. It was a success.

We went out of his office and waited for the elevator going down.

"Congratulations! You did it!"
She said and I smiled again.

"Thanks to you. Thanks a lot!"
I told her. She is still serious.

"Thanks to my team."
She said.

When the elevator opened. We both entered and settled in.
It stopped on the 7th floor and employees came inside. They're too many and Lisa and I moved back. The elevator is now full packed.

I noticed a guy is looking at me especially to my cleavage. Lisa noticed too that I am not comfortable. She moved and faced me and stretched her arm to the wall so she can put a barrier between me and the guy. Now Lisa's body and mine are brushing with no gap in between.
Oh god. This is suffocating me more but I don't know why I don't want the elevator to stop anytime soon.
Her scent filled my soul. God. Jennie!
Why do I have this urge to smell her whole body?
