His fake assistant

Safe (16)

I turn around, flipping the last pancake.

He sits behind the counter, observing me as a hawk. His eyes are twinkling with intense warmth, making my heart swell. His lips curved in a soft smile.

I put everything on a plate, serving it warm.

    "I hope you like pancakes", I spoke, taking place next to him.

    "How could I not like it? My princess made it", he elates in his deep velvet voice, making my heart pound faster.

    "Well, dig in."

We ate in complete silence. It felt so homey and cozy as if the silence completed everything. I didn't have a feeling that I needed to talk to him, that a conversation was necessary. Sometimes silence was the best conversation. There was a warm flow hanging above us, making it feel more cozy. A swell rose in my heart.

I could do this everyday.

Wait.

What?

"It was delicious, just like you", he murmurs breathily in my ear, making me jump up. Goosebumps immediately appear on my arm.

    I wasn't paying attention.

    "You surely get scared easily like that time when you thought the guard had a gun, but it was actually a walkie talkie", Mason chuckles loudly, completely amused by my red face.

    "Shut up", I hiss out completely embarrassed.

    Did he really had to bring that up?

"I'm joking princess", he smiles warmly. His lovely dimples appears out, making me smile too. Who could ever be angry with him?

My eyes shift to my clock hanging above the wall.

"It's already over 10. We should get going", I state in panic.

"I think we should get free today", he spoke casually.

"But..."

"No buts, I'm the boss", he winks attractively.

    "Even if you're the boss not coming is inappropriate, so many people rely on you", I cross my arms over me chest, pouting as a sad little baby.

His smile spreads out his face, making me even madder. He puts a finger on my mouth, pushing my pout down.

"You're so cute, princess and so smart I'm one heck of a lucky guy", he states sweetly with so much unknown emotion, making my knees buckle.

"I'm going to take a quick shower first", I announce, feeling instantly nervous.

I run off to my bathroom before he could make my heart beat faster.

    What is this for sorcery?

    That little wanker.

I come out straight of the bathroom, wearing Nate's comfy hoodie. All my business clothes are in the laundry, waiting for me to wash them.

Man, since I came to New York I've really got lazy. You need to focus, Faye!

I take easy strides towards my bedroom, seeing him sitting on my bed looking in some kind of trance.

His body seems relaxed. He takes a deep breath...
