1066 Words
As Alma entered her office, she stopped short in shock. Her office was covered in flowers, chocolates, and other gifts. It was like a scene out of a movie, but she wasn't sure how to feel about it. On one hand, it was a very romantic gesture. On the other hand, she knew who it was from didn't want to encourage Bruce's behavior. She quickly called security and had them remove all of the gifts. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that his gesture had affected her. But deep down, she knew that it had. "Aren't you a security guard?!" she asked. "Yes ma'am, I am." "And you let such things inside my office, only God knows who's the stalker that did this!" she said in a loud tone in oder for Bruce to hear. And as a man who was drawn to her, he listened. "If I ever come into my office and I see anything that's not a file, a cheque or certified paperwork, I'll call the police and have you fired!!" Bruce felt insulted, he was engraved in anger, he thought he would finally be able to get to speak to her. at least get her to loosen up a bit. "What the f**k does she want!!", he angrily said while threw his mug to the floor. He stormed out of the office, confused, and annoyed. He needed fresh air, he felt like he was suffocating inside of an office that he had spent ten years working in. He got into an elevator, moved towards the edge and then removed his tie. And then it hit him.he was in the same elevator as Alma, he had so many questions, he wanted to speak to her. he knew that she was aware he sent the flowers to her office. "miss Valdez...?" he called out to her. she couldn't turn to face him, the tension between them could make her forget about mixing business and pleasure. "yes, Mr Louis?" "can we talk" he said in a calming tone. "I'm afraid that I don't have enough time for talk, I need to get something and _" "Just two f*****g minutes alma!" he lost his cool. "Don't ever interrupt me again.!" she was provoke. They were both facing each other. Their eyes locked, no one seemed to want to ruin the moment by talking. He starred at her face. Her blonde hair was rich and full, it was made into a bun and damn... he would have loved to loosen it and then let it fall towards her back. her blue eyes were as pure as the sky, beautiful, and soothing to look at. her nose wasn't pointed, but it was beautiful. And then he moved his eyes towards her lips. They were full and beautiful, he would do just about anything to taste them.. he moved closer to her, They were standing close together in the elevator. The air was thick with tension, and she could feel her heart beating faster and faster. He moved closer, and she felt his breath on her face. She tried to hold her ground, but she could feel herself backing up against the wall. He was close enough to touch her, and she could feel the heat of his body. She could sense his desire, and it was intoxicating. But then...When Bruce moved closer to her, Alma's mind went blank. She wasn't sure what to do. Should she push him away, or should she give in to her desires? She couldn't think straight. She felt her body trembling as he got closer and closer. And then, suddenly, the elevator doors opened. A group of people stepped inside, and the spell was broken. Bruce and Alma looked at each other, and then both turned away, pretending as if nothing had happened. The other passengers were oblivious to the tension that had been in the air just moments before. The elevator reached the ground floor, and everyone filed out. As the crowd thinned out, Bruce and Alma found themselves alone together again. She felt a knot in her stomach, and she wasn't sure what to do. Should she say something, or should she just walk away? But before she could decide, he spoke up. "I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just... I don't know what I was thinking." Alma looked at him, trying to read his expression. He seemed genuinely remorseful, and she could tell that he was embarrassed.she didn't want it to end, but she couldn't ask for something that's not going to end well, She wasn't sure what to say, so she just nodded and walked away. The next few days were awkward. Whenever they crossed paths at work, they would avoid each other's gaze. Alma tried to act as if nothing had happened, but she couldn't shake the memory of their moment in the elevator. She didn't know what to make of it all. And then, one day, she got a message from him. "Can we talk?" it said. She hesitated, but then she typed back, "Sure." When she got to the conference room, he was already there, waiting for her. They sat down across from each other, and there was an awkward silence. Finally, he spoke up. "I'm sorry miss Valdez,I crossed a limit and I shouldn't have." Bruce began by apologizing again for making her uncomfortable. He said that he had overstepped his boundaries, and that he hadn't meant to make her feel uncomfortable. He said that he respected her and her space, and that he would do his best to make things right. Alma listened to him, unsure of what to say. After a moment, she spoke up. "Thank you for apologizing," she said. "I didn't really think about it, I mean it means nothing to me, we're just friends." he couldn't process it, did she just say she felt nothing, like the moment they had meant nothing to her. he cleared his throat."Absolutely, I only wanted to clear the air, I have a girlfriend and won't want to cheat on her, " he lied "That's nice, I'll be leaving now,".she excused herself. she went to the parking lot and then got into her Mercedes Benz, "he has a girlfriend?!! and he flirted with me? he made me almost give into him. Fuck you Bruce Louis!"
