Awkward Situation (DUTERTE X ROBREDO)

Awkward Situation (2)

LENI'S POV

God I feel like Anastasia Steele of Fifty Shades as I enter the office with that sex dream about my boss at the back of my head — except that I'm not into BDSM or something like that.

"Good morning." He passed by me swiftly but his perfume was stuck in the air surrounding me. I inhaled enjoyed every bit of his scent before I shook my head thinking how inappropriate it was so actually stand still and sniff the air. "Good morning, sir." I greeted back a bit delayed in response.

I looked at him from the edge of my sight, it was so uncomfortable to look at him straightly after having that sex dream. He took off his coat and draped it at his seat's arm rest. I exhaled sharply hoping the awkward thought in my head would vanish with the wind.

I sat on my small desk inside his huge office and secretly glanced at him. As my eyes wandered on his features, I started to notice how the details of my dream appeared realistic.

I moved my head back, my double chin would show. "No, no. Wag. No." I warned myself inside my head.

"Leni?" Sir Rody called my attention taking me out of my zone.

God, I wanted to jump off the window behind him as he told me "Anong 'no'?" He asked, that's when it sank to me that I wasn't just talking inside my head, I was actually talking. My lips formed shapes struggling to speak in pressure to explain myself like it was that necessary.

"Uh, no. Hindi na ako kakain sir. Magda-diet na ako." I invented dumbly, he suppressed his laughter.

The day seemed tiring than usual, it was just one in the afternoon but the atmosphere in the office felt extremely exhausting with all the paper works piled up after the holidays.

Finally, I finished typing the eighty pages manual he asked me to. I saved it into my USB and handed it over to him.

I stood still in front of his desk with the unorganized papers on my grip, I suddenly got distracted upon noticing him staring at me. It wasn't a normal stare, it was the kind of stare that you know meant something else, it was an unusual stare and it made me uneasy.

I looked back at him in all courage, he chuckled. "Iba ka ngayon ha?" He complimented out of nowhere, it struck me hard, I really fixed myself well this morning.

Hell, of all times he would throw a compliment, he did it right after I had a nasty dream about him. Now I'm starting to think if he can actually see through my mind. I started to overthink.

I snorted, "Nakapagkuskos lang ng maayos, sir." I jested. "Parang may iba sa'yo."

My insides panicked. Am I acting too obvious that I had a sex dream about my boss? I asked myself even though it was highly unlikely.

I just smiled humbly, appreciating his comment.

He didn't know what actually was different with me that day but he seemed sincere. "Ganda. Ganda." He nodded with his eyes fixated upon me. It was very seldom that he's in a good mood.

He always yell at me.

I gulped as it sank to me that he was admiring me physically. My sight started to go dreamy as I looked at him, his grinning face transitioned into a puzzled response.

I panted, I'm quite sure it sounded slightly sexual but I didn't care, I shook my head as I finally snapped out of my zone. 

He was still looking at me, his stare seeming to ask me what is up. "Wala pa po palang cover page, wait lang po." I made up to withdraw myself from the scope of his sight.

I rolled my eyes judging myself as I turn away from him, "Leni talaga." I whispered.

I decided to stay over time at the office. I know I would think about him and reminisce my dream for hours if I go home knowing that I am all alone in my apartment.

At the office, at least I know I can get myself distracted from such thoughts especially if stay at my cubicle and do my work there instead of staying inside his office.

"Dee!" I called my colleague upon seeing her pass by my desk. "Uwi ka na?" She nodded, "girl, umuwi na lahat. Tayo nalang nandito." She laughed sensing that I'll be staying longer. "Umuwi na si sir D?" I asked. "Oo yata? Kanina pa?" She replied bringing me some relief.

She headed out and I was the only one left at the cubicle area. Some of the lights were turned off already and the hallways turned dark. I wasn't sure if it was because it's late already or if the power went down and it's just the generator that's powering things up.

I fixed my things and picked up my sling bag ready to go home. "Keys!" I grunted upon realizing I left it in my drawer in his office.

I rushed to his office and was shook to see him still inside when all I thought is he already left. He was resting his forehead in his arms as he napped at his desk.

As much as I didn't want to come close, I had no choice or I'll sleep at the streets because I can't open my apartments door.

I sneaked in and be as quiet as I could to not wake him up but my keys clang.

He woke up and saw me freeze, I forced a smile in response. "Sorry, sir. Yung susi sa bahay po kase." I wobbled for him to see but he just ignored me and went back to sleeping.

I exhaled heavily and headed to the door. I pulled it as I twist the knob but it seemed stuck.

I gave a few attempts to open it but I failed.

"Sir?" I hated to disturb him.

He looked at me with his sleepy eyes, "mahirap lang talaga buksan yan. Hatakin mo lang maigi." He instructed and watched me try again.

"Ah, okay po." I nodded and pulled it hard but it just felt like I was trying to pull open a locked door.

He stood up and headed towards me, the door opened after my last pull. I tumbled back, my hands released the knob to protect myself as I stumbled contrary to his approaching body. 

It happened so fast, I failed to even realize that he accidentally groped my chest.

My back pressed harshly against him, I nearly sat on him. "Sorry, sir! Sorry!" I panicked and pulled him up with me. "Ano ba yan," he grunted.

I couldn't feel more awkward to fall towards my senior. I felt like a mess.

He didn't seem pleased, while stomping back to his seat, I continued apologizing.

"Mauna na po ako, sir." I headed out not wanting to bombard him with my apologies and presence.

The next days became more awkward between us. I felt uneasy having him around after I had a weird dream about him, more uneasy after falling back to him and almost sat on him and even more uneasy for making him accidentally grope on your left boob.

I wanted to go on a day off or avoid him forever

But I can't.
