501 Words
Three days have passed, and I started to forget what happened. We were always busy and tired focusing on the presentation for the next week. Ashton was very professional when it was about work. I started to trust him and slowly befriend with him. He was the friendly type of boss. He liked to be called just Ashton instead of Mr Harlton. I was comfortable around him. It was Friday evening and we still had work to do when he came to me and said: " Why don't you stay overnight for the weekend? it would be much easier for both of us. I have a guest room which you can use. Maybe we will finish the project early and I will take you somewhere fancy as a bonus. What do you say? " I was contemplating whether to accept or not his offer but what the heck...he was right. And besides, I enjoyed spending time with him. " Yes... sure... I cannot see why not... but I need to get home first to get some things for myself"...I replied. I went home and changed into something more comfortable, picked up some pyjamas and a change of clothes for the following day. I returned to the car, and we were heading back to his house. " Do you like Chinese food? "... He asked. "I want to order some."... he said but I did not let him finish what he wanted to say further. " What about I cook something for tonight?" I proposed. " I know I am not the best cook in the world. but it relaxes me. " ...I smiled at him. He glanced at me..." I hope you don't want to poison me or something.... "...starting to laugh. I blushed..." I have to eat it too, remember? " laughing back. We went groceries shopping first and then headed back to his house. The sky was grey and the air was heavy as it was about to rain. He showed me my room first. After that he went to watch the news on TV while I was cooking. "... tonight, a storm will hit the city....it is expected heavy rain and thunders.... the wind speed is increasing......stay inside for your safety..."... I could hear on TV. I hated storms. We ate while we made jokes and he praised my skills. " Thank you for the dinner. It was delicious."...he said grinning at me. " Thank you! "... I replied. Then silence. The atmosphere was a little peculiar, so I decided to go into my room and get ready to sleep. I felt attracted to him, but I did not want him to see. He was still my boss. I do not know what I am going to do. I feel attracted by both. Each one is unique. While Ashton seems more sensual, his brother was the beast in my mind. I wanted both but that was not right. " Probably is better if I resign " ...I thought.
