Stop Putting Me in Compromising Positions

    My eyes shot open as the sound of my alarm went off. I sat up from the couch trying to work the crick in my neck out. I stood from the couch with my neck not feeling better. I was wide awake most of the night after making Jace leave. Even now I could not get the feeling of him kissing me out of my head. I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower in an attempt to clear my mind before work. It was Friday and I thought about calling out but did not want him showing up to my home again.

    Standing under the stream I closed my eyes taking deep breathes.

His lips were warm, soft, and moisturized. I did not expect his lips too feel this way. In all honesty I had not thought about kissing him ever. Coming to my senses I pushed him away while simultaneously backing away from him. I brought my one hand to my mouth confused by his actions.

“What are you doing? I am not that type of girl!”, my eyes were wide watching him.

“I could not help myself… I have wanted to do that since I laid eyes on you”, he stepped forward.

Putting my hands out I backed away more.

“No, stay away from me”, the last relationship I was in did not go well and I did not go around kissing people. Not only that but he is my boss!

“I am not going to say sorry for kissing you but I am sorry for catching you by surprise”

“But I thought you liked someone? This is wrong on so many ways”, I backed around the couch to keep our distance as he tried to advance again.

“Ryan please stop running from me I just want to talk”

“You kissed me! And said you could not control yourself”, I snapped back, “I don’t want to be anywhere near you right now”

“I do like someone…”

“Then you shouldn’t have kissed me… I want you to leave”, I walked to the door.

“Ryan please let me talk to you”

“You should have thought about that before making me uncomfortable in my own home”, I unlocked the door, “Please leave”, I pulled the door open to let him exit.

He sighed walking towards me to the door. Before crossing the threshold, he stopped looking at me. I stiffened under his gaze not meeting his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but decided against it because nothing came out. He walked away leaving me standing in the doorway dumbfound.

I closed the door before locking it. Going back to my position on the couch I sat replaying the scene in my head.

    I shook my head trying to stop thinking about it before work. I washed my body and stepped out of the shower drying myself. I completed my regular routine before leaving the house with my bag in hand to make my way to work. The buses were a bit behind, so it took me a little longer to get to work. I rushed into the office and upstairs to get to work. I was nervous to have to face Jace and hoped he did not bring up the day before. I was tired and wanted to get through the day without anything extraneous mentally. I did not run into Jace for the first half of the day, but he caught me trying to sneak out for lunch.

“Going to lunch?”, I jumped at his voice. Not turning I walked into the elevator before speaking.

“Yes”, I shifted uncomfortably.

“Great, I’ll come with you”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea”, I looked at my shoes to avoid looking at him.

He reached forward pushing a button causing the elevator to stop. I looked up from my shoes going to push the button again. He caught my wrist gently pushing me into the corner of the elevator.

“Look at me”, his voice was soft almost as if he were hurt. I was tempted to look at him, but I kept my eyes trained on his tie. When he realized I was not going to he asked added, “Please”.

“Mr. Grey can you please start the elevator?”, I asked through clenched teeth.

“If you look at me first”

I slowly moved my eyes from his tie, to his chin, quickly past the lips, nose, and finally his eyes.

“Happy?”, the sarcasm dripping from my voice could fill a pool.

“No”, what did it take to please this man, “Because you’re not happy”.

“If you would stop putting me in these compromising positions, I would be fine! But you keep making impulsive decisions without thinking or asking me how I would feel about it. You are my boss and it is making me uncomfortable to work with you when you keep attempting to be intimate with me … I do not sleep around so find someone else”, I snatched my wrist from his grasp bringing my eyes back down.

    Placing his pointer finger under my chin he forced my face up. I grabbed his arm starting to pull him off when he spoke.

“I am not trying to get you in my bed! You are so oblivious. If I wanted that I would have been straight to the point by now”, I shifted trying to get his hand off me, “I like you”

I froze. “What are you talking about? No you don’t”, I scoffed at the idea.

“Don’t tell me how I feel… I know when I like or dislike someone”, he removed his hand from my face and ran it through his hair, “I cant stop thinking about you, I want to help you, make you happy, everything”.

“Why?”,

“I don’t know, don’t get me wrong you look amazing but that’s not it”, I swallowed. “You are different from other females and it is drawing me to you like a magnet. I am not trying to scare you away, but I am not going to stop trying to get you to like me back”.

    I did not want to like him. I was going to do more job searching when I got home. He was clearly crazy. How do you like someone you just met? I didn’t speak waiting for him to finish so I could run for the hills.

“I will respect you though. I will not kiss you again until you ask me to”, he sounded positive I would one day be okay with it. I on the other hand knew I would never want him to kiss me.

“I don’t think this is a good Idea, not only do I work for you but I don’t feel the same, I am sorry”, I was being honest.

“Not now but Ill prove myself to you and the fact of me liking you… Don’t worry I own this place and I wont show favoritism because I like you. You are hardworking and earn everything I give you. I’m also not going to fire you or anything because you’re rejecting me”

“Please don’t say it like that I don’t do the whole dating scene anymore, its simply not for me”, I shrugged.

    Right on time my stomach audibly growled. Jace looked down before starting the elevator. We did go to lunch together and it was surprisingly not uncomfortable. We ate, had light conversation, laughed, and talked about others at the restaurant. Going back to the office I felt better about the situation. Maybe it would all blow over and he would find someone else we. That would be great.

    I worked the rest of the day with no issues other than a slight cough and headache. I powered through knowing at the end of my shift I will have successfully made it to the weekend. As the clock hit six, I shut everything down to get ready to leave. Packing all my belongings I mad my way to the elevator to leave. Before I could step out into the street to cross it, I was pulled back by my wrist. Looking up prepared to yell at the person I found none other than Jace behind me. Pulling my hand away from him I spoke.

“What is it?”, I was ready to climb in my bed.

“Come on I’ll take you home”, a small smile graced his face.

“No thank you the bus will be here soon I’ll see you Monday”, I turned to catch the sign allowing me to walk.

    Yet again I was pulled back, much to my annoyance.

“I won’t try anything, and It will be much quicker”

    I thought about it looking him up and down before taking his offer and following him to his car. He opened my door for me. I told him he did not have to, but he ignored me and continued. When we arrived at my apartment complex, I tried to open the door to no avail. Jace rounded the car opening it with ease.

“Really, child lock...”, I deadpanned.

“I knew you would try to take away my chivalrous moments”, He smiled walking me to my door.

    I enjoyed his smile and reciprocated one of my own. My gracefulness was interrupted by my tripping over my own two feet. I did not fall regaining my balance we continued to my door with Jace laughing at me.

“So, glad you find that amusing”, I turned the key in the lock and walked in.

    I started to slam the door in his face, but he put his hand out stopping it from closing.

“Thank you for letting me drive you home. I will see you Monday”, he turned walking away.

    Leaving me to enjoy my weekend or what I thought would be enjoyable.
