Cara came back with our drinks and handed me my beer.
Cara took a sip of her Chardonnay. "What's wrong?"
I took a big gulp of my alcohol before answering. "Nothing, what could be wrong?"
Cara gave me that look, the look that says, tell me what's wrong, I know your lying.
I sighed. "My new boss is here."
Her eyes popped, "What's a super old guy doing at a place like this."
I laughed.
"What?" Cara asked.
"My boss is anything but old, he's actually really hot." I couldn't believe I just said that about my boss.
Cara gasped. "What! Do I believe my ears, thee Anastasia Stratford just called someone hot? You mean someone finally meets up to your standards?"
I gave her a playful slap on her wrist. "Stop, all I'm saying he's quite good looking."
"Well don't leave me hanging, I wanna see him too." She whined.
"Top right corner." I whispered.
Cara turned to look at him. When her head turned towards me she had her mouth hanging open.
For almost an hour, all Cara talked about was how hot my boss was. Then I told her about what he had called me at the restaurant. Then instead of talking about how great and lucky I was she started calling him names and told me she would go over there and kick him where it hurts if I want her to.
I stole quick glances at him anytime I could. I don't know what it was about him, something about him drawled me to keep looking at him. It wasn't just because he was good looking, it was something else. I noticed several empty wine glasses on his table. Did he have a drinking problem?
I didn't realize I was staring at him until his eyes met mine. Uhhhh... why can't I just ignore his stupid perfect face? I quickly adjusted my gaze onto a flower painting above him.
I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't look at him anymore. Me and Cara stayed there for a few more hours. We were getting ready to leave until a young woman dressed in a pencil skirt and blouse came up to me.
"Hello there miss." She greeted.
"Hi." I said.
We stood there looking at each other for at least 2 minutes.
"Well you see miss, that guy over there." She pointed at my boss.
"What about him?" I asked curiously.
"He says you're the one responsible for taking him home." She said.
What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave her a nervous laugh. "You must be mistaking be for somebody else."
The girl looked at me with confusion on her face. "You're not Anastasia Stratford?"
Crap. Crap. Crap.
I sighed. "No, I am."
She pointed at him again. "Well apparently you're responsible for taking him home." The girl walked away after that.
I turned to Cara. "Look, why don't you go home and rest up."
"What! I can't leave you with him." She gasped.
I gave her a small smile. "I'll be alright, this is my job now."
"Fine." With that, Cara left.
I looked over at my boss, his head was on the table with wine glasses surrounding his head.
I mentally screamed inside my head.
"Just do it Ana," I whispered to myself.
I walked over to him and nudged him on the shoulder. He didn't budge. I decided to shake his shoulder really hard.
He lifted his head up slowly and looked straight at me. I had no idea what to do next. So I just stood there.
"I see you got the message." He grinned.
"Yea I suppose I did." I let out a breathe I didn't even know I was holding.
Suddenly, his arms snaked around my waist and he pulled me into his lap. He held me close to his warm body. His cologne smelled expensive.
I pushed away slightly and he let go.
"Come one lets get you home," I said in a low voice.
I offered my hand to him and he took it. As he stood up he leaned on me. He took my breathe away as he put his weight on me.
"You're going to have to do a little walking on your own sir," I struggled to say.
"I am." He whined. He sounded cute when he whined, almost like a little child.
I rolled my eyes and guided him outside.
I had no idea what to do now. I didn't see any taxi's on the street, not surprised though. A light suddenly went off in my head, he must have a car. I mean he did seem pretty rich. I put my hand down his pant suite pocket.
I pulled out a single black car key. I looked around for a car but I couldn't see very well since it was like pitch black outside. Ugh, why aren't there any street lights out here.
I decided to push the unlock button on the car key. I saw a flash of bright white lights in the corner of my eye. I struggled to get my boss in the passenger side of his car, but somehow I managed. I walked over to the driver side and climbed in. The engine roared as I started the car. Damn, his car was nice.
As I was driving down the street I realized I didn't know where he lived. Shit. I couldn't just leave him in the car and run off.. I had only one option. Take him to my home. My legs were telling me just to run away and leave him, but my heart told me differently.
I drove to Cara and I's apartment. I couldn't get him up four flights of stairs by myself so I had to call Cara.
Cara: Ana?
Ana: Can you come down and help?
Cara: Help with....?
Ana: Just get your ass down here.
Cara didn't respond. A couple of minutes later I saw Cara bursting through the the front doors with her silky night gown on. I climbed out of the luxurious car and open the passenger door.
I put my boss's arm around me and pulled him out of the car. I almost fell as he put all his weight on me. I turned to Cara and she immediately came towards me and helped me.
"What do we do with him?" Cara stared at the passed out body laying on top of my purple sheets.
I pinched the bridge of my small nose. "I guess sleep for now."
"Good luck I'm going to bed," Cara yawned.
I smiled at her.
I stared at the Adonis that was laying on my bed. His messed up dark brown hair fell over his forehead. His perfectly pink lips were slightly parted. The sound of his breathing was so calming. I couldn't help by gush over the sight of him.
-------------------------------------------------------
A loud voice woke me up. I lifted my head off the couch and headed toward the sound. It sounded like it was coming from my bedroom. I slowly and quietly opened my white door and I saw a figure thrashing around. I quickly flipped my light on and saw my boss covered in sweat.
"No! Don't!" My boss whimpered. "Stop, please."
I quickly rushed over to him and tried to wake him. He calmed down a bit but he didn't wake up.
"Shhhh.... It's okay." I said trying to calm him while patting his chest.
I was so confused on what just happened.
