The Distance Between Us

Chapter Five

Ayla's Pov

We walked into Mr. Martinez's office and I was stunned, his office was gigantic. The office had white marble walls, dark greyish wood floors, on the left and right side of the walls were huge bookcases and filing cabinets, the left side wall had a door to another room, on the right side near the bookcase wall was his dark oak desk which was humongous, way bigger then the one I had in my office, there was another door on that wall, in the middle of the office was also a dark elegant oak table with 8 chairs surrounding it, on the wall north of the main entrance door was a double door with two crescent moon shaped windows on the sides of it, the double doors lead to a beautiful balcony with a patio set with the view of the city.

His office was marvelous. He must be someone very important in the company to be able to have an office like this. I never asked what his position was because it didn't matter to me as long as i received this job. I came to my senses as I heard Mr. Martinez cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Sanchez, once you are done being captivated by my office. Come have a seat here by my desk so we can discuss things." I turned towards his desk and hurried over. I'm so embarrassed he caught me gawking at his office. As I sat down I turned my view to him and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Martinez for getting distracted but your office is gigantic and marvelous! Your office is literally like out of a movie. It's so surreal." I couldn't contain my excitement about his office. He was just staring at me with no emotion on his face or voice, "I worked very hard to build this company from scratch. I think being the CEO of my company, I deserve to have an office like, how you put it, from a movie." Mr. Martinez leaned back in his chair after finishing his statement. Watching me as my eyes widened, once more I was stunned.

"From the look on your face, the other assistant that trained you didn't mention that you were going to be the CEO's assistant, did he?" I shook my head no because I couldn't form any words at all. "Well now that you know, I would appreciate that you do not get distracted on the job. I expect an outstanding performance from you. My job and yours is very demanding so we need to be on top of everything. Do you understand?" I sat up straight and nodded my head, "Yes sir, I understand. I apologize for my incompetency, it won't happen again. Is there anything else I need to know sir?" Mr. Martinez sat up in his chair with a raised eyebrow giving me a mischievous look with his dark green eyes. "Yes there is." Oh my why do I feel like I'm going to regret asking him if there was anything else. "Whenever I need you, it doesn't matter the time of day or night, I need you to be available at any short notice even after business hours. If I call you and tell you I need you to come to me wherever I'm at, you need to be there ASAP. You will be compensated for your time after business hours. So what I'm saying is you will be basically tied to me and not have much time for your own personal life? Are you okay with these terms and conditions? If not you can take your leave so we can find an assistant that will be capable."

Is he being serious right now? The job description did not mention any of this. Did it? No because the other assistant would have mentioned it to me. Right? Oh well what do I have to lose right? Anyways I will get paid more on top of my salary which is great. Maybe this also will help me out on extending my engagement to Seth like I wanted. "Yes sir. I accept the terms and conditions. I will be capable of doing this job." Mr. Martinez gave me this half smile that this sensation ran deep down into my lower abdomen. I squeezed my thighs tight to help suppress this growing sensation. Why did he have to look so sexy and him giving that half smile made him even sexier. I really need to cool myself down. I feel like I'm betraying Seth by getting hot and heavy for my boss.

"Okay now that we have discussed these terms and conditions. Let's go over what needs to be done in the meeting. Shall we?" I abruptly stood from my chair and asked, "Mr. Martinez will you excuse me? I need to use the restroom. I will be quick sir." He pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh. "Yes make it quick. You can use my personal bathroom right through this door." He pointed towards the door by his desk. I hurried into the bathroom as I shut the door I locked it and ran to the sink. I looked at myself and I was so flushed in the face. Oh my gosh is this how I looked this whole time. I think Mr. Martinez is annoyed by me, I hope I don't lose my job on the first day. I turned on the cold water and splashed my face. The relief I felt from the cold water hitting my skin. I feel so much better now. I hate that my body betrayed me like that. I haven't felt a sensation like that since...with Keiran, *flashback*

"haha Keiran that tickles, stop, please stop haha." Keiran and I, we're laying down on his bed in his room. He was tickling me everywhere. "No can do my moonlight, I love hearing you laugh." "haha..hah. you are going to hear more..haha..than.. haha.. laughter if you keep...haha.. it up..haha" he stopped for a moment and hovered on top of me. He was staring at me with a mischievous look on his face and a half smile was on his lips. Oh that half smile of his, it does things to me that I can't even comprehend. My face immediately got flushed. "I guess we will need to find out what more you can do besides laughing." I started to shake my head no, and he just kept nodding his head, yes. He immediately started nuzzling his nose into my neck and tickling my sides but instead of laughing, I let out this unusual sound that we both have not heard before. Keiran immediately stopped and got off of me. "I'm sorry I think I went too far. Come on let's take you home. It's getting late." I sat up from his bed confused, I feel so odd. This weird sensation shot through my body making a weird sound come out. My whole body feels flushed. *End*

I stood in front of the mirror smiling thinking about the first time I felt a s****l sensation. I was young. Only 2 months shy of my 18th birthday. I didn't even know at the time what a s****l sensation was because I was so naive. Looking back as I got older I knew now why Keiran stopped and immediately got off of me. He knew what was happening he must have known and him being a gentleman stopped. As I pushed away the memory and my thoughts back. I looked at the time, we still have thirty more minutes til the meeting. I walked out of the bathroom and sat back down in front of Mr. Martinez to get the day finally started. As I sat down Mr. Martinez looked up at me.
