Unexpected

Mission Live Your Life

About an hour of dancing later.....

“Cass I’m going to the bathroom it feels like I have glitter in my eyes from sweating so much” , I said pushing away a random man on the floor trying to get a chance to dance with me. Cassidy was grinding on the floor like she owned the place. She gave me a thumbs up and a wink and kept shaking away on the guy she was dancing with while pulling the defeated guy I left on the floor to her front. I chuckled and made my way to the ladies room. Luckily there wasn’t a line, I went in grabbed a paper towel and started to blot the sweat off my neck and face. I went in my clutch to grab some eye drops. Even though the makeup was waterproof I could see a speck of glitter on my contact. I applied the eye drops and quickly used the bathroom. Maybe those double shots wasn’t a good idea because it was running right through my bladder. I washed my hands and hurried out of the bathroom. Right as I was exiting I bumped into someone.

“Excuse me” I apologize.

Head spinning a bit from the alcohol.

“We have got to stop meeting like this.”

My mind and body freezes at the familiar voice.

I look up into those forest green eyes. He looks down at me and I realize how tall he is. I’m 5’7 so he has to be about 6’2. His mocha colored skin is lightly sprinkled with a sheen of sweat from the heat of the club. I watch a drop roll from his low cut down his high cheekbone to his slender yet muscular neck. He must have been watching me watch him because his luscious lips spread into a smile that showcases his straight pearly whites.

“Don’t tell me your speechless now Ms. Eastwood.”

his eyes holding a spark of mischief.

I lick my lips again my mouth suddenly dry.

“Rachel.” I said throwing his line back at him.

“If I didn’t know any better I would say you were following me Sam” I say smirking.

He laughed and it was music to my ears.

“No Rachel, I’m just going to the bathroom. Glad I came when I did or you could have hurt someone. Unless this is your way of making a way for you to talk to me”

Now it was my turn to laugh.

“Yes I’m always planning to find a way to bump into you. You caught me”

“Yes...yes I did.”

I watched his eyes darken again. During our playful banter we had somehow got closer. We were only a breath away from contact. Literally I could smell the mint mixed with whiskey on his breath. I licked my lips again which caught his attention. I watched his eyes fill with some sort of lust. His eyes are like Evergreen trees. I became so transfixed I almost didn’t notice him lick his lips and reach as if he was going to pull me in then...

“There you are! I thought you left... oh!”

Right when he had his hand on my waist Cassie shows up sweaty and slightly tinted red. She walked over to us and looked like she was about to say something. I had to be a shade of red myself when I hurried to her and pulled her hand to go inside the bathroom.

“Hi Mr.Turner, bye Mr. Turner!” she calls over her shoulder as we’re entering the bathroom. I hurry to the sinks and sit on the counter. I put my elbows on my thighs and my head in my hands. I groan aloud. What is going on with you girl. It’s your boss get a grip! I peek through my fingers and see Cass standing on the wall with her arms crossed. She has an all knowing smirk on her face.

“Don’t you start.” , say glaring at her through my fingers.

“The big bad boss huh?”

“I said don’t start Cass!” I say jumping down to grab some paper towels and running them in cold water. I walk over to Cass and pat the sweat off her forehead.

“I mean I got to admit when you start looking for a good time you go HARD!” she teases.

I blot the mascara under her eyeline before I throw the towel in her hand and lean against the wall glaring at her again. She laughs and goes into the mirror to wipe her neck and cleavage.

“All jokes a side, you don’t have to worry about your boss firing you for thinking your being inappropriate. I know Sam. I mean as, well as he’ll allow anyone to , but he’s definitely into you. It’s plenty of babes in the office but I’ve never seen him look at someone like he did with you”

I don’t know why but that statement made my heart flutter. I wanted to pry for more information about him but instead I held it inside. Instead I cross my arms and stick my tongue out at her.

She’s not going to get me that easy.

“He’s our boss” is all I said in reply.

She turned to me after re applying her nude tinted lip gloss and winked at me.

“You’re right Rachel, he is the boss” she walked up to me and held out her arm.

I shook my head at her and gave a small smile while hooking my arm into hers.

“Now let’s see how big and bad he really is” she whispered in my ear.

I smacked her arm and laughed as she opened the door.

God help her and help me too !
