Emma’s POV
He says across my couch, I wasn’t expecting him to be here, is it about the online form I submitted, is he mad I want to quit work for his sister and I want to work for him, I hope he doesn’t think the reason I want to work for him is that I’m attracted to him.
“Mr. Ricci, what are you doing here?.” I asked once I stepped further into the house.
“You can call me Alexander.” He said with a smile on his face.
His smiling, could mean one thing he ain’t mad at me right?
“He has been waiting for you, don’t be rude to our guest,” Josh said making me glare at him.
Fucking Josh, he should have just sent a text saying Alexander is here instead as usual he decided to be dramatic and went ahead telling me there is an emergency.
“Josh, can I see you in the kitchen,” I said pointing toward the kitchen.
“I would be right back Alexander,” I said smiling at him.
I walked into the kitchen, pacing around and waiting for Josh.
“Yes Emma, how can I help you?.” Josh said once he got into the kitchen.
“Couldn’t you have informed me he was here?” I whispered and yelled.
“If I had told you, you would run away and not met him,” Josh said.
My hand laid on my chin, he is right, if he informed me earlier Alexander was here I won’t have come home.
“Fine, whatever.”
“He is so hot Emma, go get it,” Josh whispered and yelled while I was leaving the kitchen.
Idiot.
“Alexander, what brings you here?.” I asked, I wanted to sound as polite as possible, he has been nothing but nice to me and I wish to return that energy.
I licked his lips before he answered, f**k.
“I wanted to stop by and say hello.” He said with a smile on his face.
“Oh, I thought you came because I applied to be your secretary in your company.” I blurted out.
Fucking Emma, I can’t keep my mouth shut.
He stared at me before he masked his confused expression with a smile.
He does smile a lot.
“Oh yes and that.” He said.
“I’m sorry if I have offended you, it’s fine to reject my application.”
“You can come to the office tomorrow by eight, we would discuss it.” He said.
He is willing to give me a chance, finally, I can get free of Rose’s clutches.
“Thank you so much, you have no idea what you have done for me.”
“Don’t be late Emma.” He said, he stood up and arranged his suit.
“Won’t you walk me to the door?.” He asked, he had no idea I was too focused on staring at his ass in that trouser.
Something about a man with an ass makes me a happy girl.
“Yeah sure,” I said to him.
I walked him to the door, and just as I was about to close the door Alexander stopped it with his left leg.
“Did you forget something?.” I asked opening the door wider.
“That’s not how to say Goodbye.” He said, I stared at him with confusion written all over my face but all that was thrown out of the window when he pressed his lips against mine, it felt like a thousand butterflies escaped my stomach, he swept his tongue around my lip wetting it before he leaned in and kissed me, it was soft and sensual, I found my self kissing him back.
He is Rose’s brother my subconscious said.
Doesn’t matter at all, he likes you.
Fuck I’m having mix-thoughts about this, I stepped away disconnecting our lips, and stared at Alexander with disbelief.
“Bye Emma,” Alexander said, I stood in front of my door touching my lips, I still can’t believe this happened.
“f*****g tell me what happened?.” Josh said, he found me standing in front of the door, he said I have been there for over five minutes.
“Emma, you better start f*****g talking,” Josh said.
“If I tell you, promise me you won’t go all crazy and start screaming,” I said to him.
“Fine, I promise.”
“Josh,” I warned.
“Cross my heart, now tell me,” Josh said.
I was looking for the perfect word to explain what happened. Alexander kissed me, it wasn’t like any other kiss, it felt different, it felt right.
“He-.”
“He, what,” Josh asked.
“Kissed me,” I whispered, when I didn’t hear any reaction coming from Josh, I thought he didn’t hear me.
“Oh, My God,” Josh whispered and screamed.
And I was wrong, he did hear me.
“No screaming remember.”
“I’m trying not to, He likes you,” Josh said, he sat next to me.
“Not possible, we just met,” I said to Josh.
“Could be like at first sight.”
“There is nothing like that Josh.”
“Can’t prove it.”
“I did something else,” I said to Josh.
“Don’t tell me you all f****d in front of the door.”
What the f**k?
“Josh are you crazy, of course, I didn’t sleep with him in front of our door,” I said pointing to the door.
“Sorry.”
“I applied for a position in his office, he asked me to come tomorrow for a discussion.”
“Finally, you would be leaving that witch,” Josh said.
“I know but it’s weird all of a sudden I met him and he kisses me and now he wants to give me work,” I said to Josh.
“It is.”
“Do you think I should go tomorrow?.” I asked Josh.
“You will never know what he wants unless you go, you could ask him what he wants with you.”
“What if he says he wants to sleep with you in exchange for the work.”
“You know what to do missy? You f*****g hit him and leave, and he seems too nice he won’t say something like that.”
I whispered a low ‘I hope so’
Later that night, I sent an email to Rose saying I was sick and won’t be able to make it to work, she can’t know I’m going for an interview, I just hope it goes well and I get that job. I can finally stop working for her and maybe just maybe say a couple of things while leaving because she deserves it.
I was preparing my documents when I heard a ping coming from my phone. It’s an unknown number.
“Goodnight Emma.” The message read.
Could it be Alexander?
I sent a quick text asking who it was and in a minute I got a reply.
“Yes, I will see you tomorrow.” The message read.
I found a smile forming on my face, f**k I need to stop thinking about him.
The next day, I got woken up by Josh, he is more excited about this interview than I am, first, he wants me to stop working for Rose, and second he wants to know Alexander’s intention with me, so he likes me or it’s just lust.
“You have to look sexy today,” Josh said.
“I’m going for an interview, not a strip club Josh.”
“You can look professional and sexy Emma.” He said dramatically.
“Fine, if it’s too short I’m not wearing it,” I said to Josh.
I went into the bathroom and took a quick bath, when I got out Josh had already arranged the clothes for me to wear.
A white dress shirt with a strappy high heels, it’s sexy and classy, I quickly wore my clothes and applied a bit of make-up. When I walked out of my room Josh gasped.
“I knew you would rock that dress,” Josh said making me smile.
“Go get that d**k and job, baby girl,” Josh yelled when I walked out of the house.
God, the friends I have.
Let’s hope this interview goes well.
