The Devil's Trap

16.

Like every other morning, I got ready to go to work, had my breakfast, got dressed and went out.

I arrived at the company something was different that day, I went inside the elevator and right to my office that's when I saw him. from the corner of my eyes, he was already sitting in his office looking through some papers and talking to someone, I couldn't see who because the door was only slightly opened. I haven't realized that I missed him until I saw him today. I was debating with myself whether or not I should go see him, finally, I decided to.

I opened the door, and I saw Stephan inside then I looked another time at Lucas, he looked upset.

"morning beautiful" Stephan came next to me and grabbed my hand placing a gentle kiss on it.

"you two know each other?" I looked at a confused looking Lucas, and as I was about to answer Stephan beats me to it.

" yeah, we met yesterday and kinda spent the day with each other"

Confused eyes quickly turned into very angry ones.

"OUT" he half screamed 

I was turning my way when his words stopped me 

"You stay" i turned around to look at him again and his eyes were focusing on me. No need to ask who he was addressing.

Stephan got out and closed the door leaving me alone with my boss, the big boss.

After a long moment of Silence, I saw his lips starting to move, and I closed my eyes getting ready for the storm to get to me.
"What does he mean?"he said in a surprisingly calm tone.
"Huh?" I was a little confused.
"He said you spent the day together. What does he mean? Don't play dumb." He seemed barely holding himself
"It was nothing really. We...we just talked for a bit. that's all. And I'm not playing dumb "
"Was the engagement you had last night with him?"
"Yes but it was just a talk nothing much"
"NOTHING? It doesn't look like anything. His actions and looks don't look like nothing"

he was scary, I was scared alright. But that's not the feeling that was dominating me;it was anger. I was angry about his accusations.

"You know what? It's none of your business" I was sure going to regret this later, but for now I can't keep these emotions inside any longer.

"What did you just say" he was startled.

"I said it's none of your business, and it's not whether I talk to him or spend the day with him it's not. I'm sick of you acting as if you actually care. I just don't get it: one day you're so sweet and amazing and caring and the next day your like ice so cold and so far. But I can deal with that, however what I can't expect is you pretending that you actually care when you actually don't."

I stopped for a second to take my breath feeling my eyes get soaked with tears.
Was I crying?

"Please just stop making me miserable"
I took one last look at him, his face was unreadable, his eyes seemed sad .
I turned again and went to the rooftop of the building hoping to clear my head a little bit.

Getting hit by the wind definitely has it perks, and I was feeling slightly better . After being there for a while, I felt a hand touching my shoulder, I turned around to find Lucas in front of me
"I...I know I did some things that confused you, and trust me it was not my intention" I could since regret in his voice however anger was still eating me up from the inside. He stopped talking for a moment, his eyes traveling to the wide sky before me. It seemed that he has a hard time expressing himself.
"Is it true that I make you miserable? Of so then I'll make sure to never disturb you again" for some reason I hated that idea ever more than his confusing actions.

"I must say, I maybe overreacted. However everything that happened is messing with me. I came here to work and make my dreams come true. Everything was fine until you started this mind-twisting action and I don't know what to do ." He rested his hands over mine and got closer.

"You're right. Absolutely right I've been a pain in the a*ss. But all I'm asking you is to bare with me. I have so many things on my mind right know . But just bare with me I'll make everything better " he placed his hand over my cheek and with his thumb he was caressing me. "Please" his pleading voice was weakening me I had only one answer and that would be yes . How can I say no to the man who stole my heart ?

How? When? Where did it happen? I have no idea. True I have only recently met him but there's just something about him that would make it impossible for you to get closer. He has a temper, he's a mess, he's confusing but he had me .
So I could only say yes and nod.
