15 Days with You

Day 3

DAY THREE

☕

This time, to make sure that I won't see Cassidy's face first thing in the morning, I woke up half an hour earlier than usual. That way I go to work early, Cassy won't have to drive me, and my day would be ruined a little less earlier. I felt pretty smart thinking of that.

She will probably be upset about it, but who cares?

I internally shrugged and smirked. My mother raised a smart woman.

"Good morning lollipop!"

I nearly had a heart attack.

"What are you doing here?!"

"Well good morning to me too." Cassidy grinned and kissed my cheek.

"Cassidy!" I glared at her. "Why are you here so early?"

"I'm just making sure that you won't slip past me." Then she laughed softly, the corners of her mouth lifting into a gentle smile. "And by the looks of things here, you were planning on doing the exact thing."

I frowned. "You are so annoying."

"Tell me something I haven't heard before, sweetie."

She winked and grabbed my wrist to pull me along. What can I possibly do? I willingly got into her fragrant car. On the passenger's seat is a bouquet of lilies this time.

“Lilies are my favorite flowers,” Cassidy started, “because a lily means ‘I dare you to love me’. Out of all the flowers, I feel like it’s the one that really represents me.”

I dare you to love me.

"Thank you," I simply said as she closed the door for me. I tried to compare the flower and the woman who’s obsessed with me and couldn’t help but agree. The lily is a perfect representation of Cassidy.

She entered the car a second later.

"Care to join me for breakfast, Bunny?"

I just shrugged, not looking at her. She will probably drag me to breakfast anyways.

"Look at me for a second."

I turned my head. "Wh- Uummmmph!"

My lips halted to a stop as her mouth once again captured mine. She kissed me so feverishly, never letting a second wane. Bodies moving closer and  lips frenzying, we shared an intense, passionate kiss. And as a natural response, my eyes closed.

I suddenly remembered the events last night.

She really meant it when she told me she was going to kiss me senseless. It took a lot from me to not respond to her kiss. I think my knees turned weak for an hour and I had to rest to let it regain strength.

And I'm not even into women.

Damn you, Cassidy.

My eyes opened wide when I felt a sneaky hand on my thigh. I smacked it with my right hand out of surprise. Goosebumps appeared on my skin from the electrifying contact.

I felt her smile and then pull away slightly, her forehead on mine.

"What have you done to me Sandra?" she whispered, voice hoarse, "You got me addicted to you."

I just stared at her gentle blue eyes, slightly out of breath. It’s funny, but her eyes showed complexity-- a plethora of emotions. And I found myself drowning in them. After a while, she lightly kissed my nose before pulling away and smiling to herself.

I hate to admit it, but Cassidy has the most innocent smile I have ever seen.

☕

She brought me to the same place. The pancake house.

"What, no fancy cafés or super expensive restaurants?" I asked as we pulled into the parking lot.

She smiled at me.

"I prefer to make things simple but enjoyable." Then, her forehead creased. "But if you want, I can take you to this great five-star diner just out of town. It has a terrific view and the food is-"

"Cassidy," I stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright. I like this place."

Then, for the first time, I gave her a small smile.

She beamed and her cheeks just got a tinge of red.

"Wait here," then she got out hurriedly, cheeks still flushing and opened the door on my side.

I thanked her and together, we went inside. We sat on the same table, waiting for the waitress to appear. I was hoping that Holly wouldn't serve us, as  I'm totally jealous of her breasts. Speaking of Holly, she approached our table carrying a tray.

I’ve always had shitty luck.

"Good morning ladies," she politely greeted after putting down our coffees. "So, what will you two pretties have?"

This time, I didn't stare at her chest. I concentrated on ordering food.

"Uhm, I'll have your ultimate stack pancakes with extra maple syrup and whipped cream and a slice of blueberry pie with a scoop of pistachio ice cream."

When I looked up, Holly actually looked amused while Cassy just shook her head and smiled.

"I'll have your breakfast platter please."

"Would that be all?" I nodded.

After Holly left, I found Cassidy staring at me with a smile on her face.

"What?" I asked, frowning.

"Are you sure you can eat all that?" she laughed. "Baby cakes, I'm not so sure your little body can take all that pancake."

I pouted.

"I may be small, but I can eat a lot. Shame on you for judging."

Then, she let out another gleeful laugh.

"Did you see the ultimate stack? It looked more like the leaning tower of pancakes!"

I sipped my coffee before giving her the evil eye.

"I can finish it."

She held her hands up in surrender.

"Whatever you say honey."

And with that, we started to eat. Well, Cassidy started to eat. I just inhaled the food. And that was.... interesting. I actually had some decent conversation with Cassidy during breakfast. But really, most of the time all she did was either flirt with me or tease me. Sometimes both. 

Oh, and I did finish the pancakes. And the pie. They were both goooood. 

I remember the look on Cassidy's face when I ate the last of the pancakes. It was a mixture of disbelief and awe. Or maybe she was just constipated.

"So, now you're smiling by yourself."

My face heated up. "Shut up Jaz. And I was not smiling. I was just... smirking."

Jaz rolled her eyes. "Same thing. You totally like Cassidy."

So I told Jaz about Cassidy and I’s agreement. She squealed for a minute and made this annoying hand flapping gestures. I think she was more excited than I am.

"Ewww no," I gave her a what-the-hell look. "How can you say that?"

"Tell me," she said, ignoring my question. "Is she a good kisser?"

I dropped the folder that I was holding.

"Wha-? Uh... We uhhh... A-actually..." s**t.

"Oh my god! She is a good kisser!" then she let out a little scream. I covered her mouth.

"Shhhh! You're too noisy." Our other office mates were already looking in our direction.

She grinned when I removed my hand.

“How did it feel?” she asked excitedly.

I scratched my head. “Different. It was… softer, I guess? I don’t know. I’ve never kissed another girl before.”

“I have,” Jasmine giggled. “Girls are better. The only thing good about men is that they can open jars and of course, the di-”

“Shhhh!” I shushed her, giggling and looking around once more.

"Sandy, you are so lucky."

"Whatever Jaz," I rolled my eyes. "Wanna go get some coffee?"

She looked at her watch. "Oooh. We better hurry. Our coffee break is almost over."

"Excuse me," Daisy suddenly popped out of nowhere. "Miss Cassidy wanted to give you this."

Then, she handed me two coffees from Starbucks and a box of my favorite muffins from the pancake house. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Jaz grinning and holding back an excited squeal.

"Thank you Daisy," I smiled at her.

"No problem," she turned to leave.

"Uh Daisy?" I called out before she can turn around.

"Yes?"

"Can you thank Cass-... Uh, Miss Williams for me? Please?"

She smiled. "Of course Sandra," then she left.

"Sandy, look," Jaz said, pointing at my coffee.

I looked down and indeed, there was a note stuck on top of the lid.

Smile :)

-Cassy

Without thinking, I smiled.

"So are you gonna share or not?"

I stuck my tongue out at her and gave her the other coffee. How considerate that she bought me two coffees, knowing that Jaz would be with me. Then, I opened the box of muffins.

Wow, it smells so good.

My mouth is starting to salivate.

"Here," I held out the box for Jaz.

"Thank you, best friend!" she got one and returned to her cubicle.

I just shook my head. I removed the note and was meaning to crumple and throw it in the trash can, but I just found myself sticking it on my computer.

Ain't that cute?

And because of so much work, I ended up having to overtime. I hate overtime. It's almost eight already, but I'm still barely halfway done. I ate the muffins that Cassidy gave me, so I'm not that hungry.

Who am I kidding? I'm always hungry.

"Oooooh, a model employee," someone said from behind me.

"Go away Cassidy. I'm busy." I concentrated on my work. I knew it was her just from the annoyingness of her voice.

"You know," she said, her voice coming closer and closer. "You don't have to do that. You work for me now."

"But I want to do this. Just go away."

"Hey," she said, leaning over my shoulder. "What's that file icon do?"

My brows knitted. "This?" I pointed to the save icon.

"Yes." Her voice directly on my ear gave me goosebumps.

"It uhm... s-saves your file."

Damn it. Why did I stutter?

"Prove it."

I rolled my eyes and clicked on it.

"There, it says 'saving your file...'. How can you not know that?"

"Oh, okay," then I felt her lean back.

I started to work on it again. A second later, my computer suddenly died. "What the-?!"

I searched around and found Cassidy grinning and holding the plug.

My eyes widened. "You did not just unplug my computer."

She smirked. "But I did."

I screamed and started to attack her with slaps and smacks on her body while she just giggled. I saw a folder and started to hit her with it too.

"Hey, we're still on work space so technically, I'm still your boss."

I glared at her and folded my arms across my chest.

"Why are you so annoying?"

She smiled innocently. "I'm just being cute."

Yeah, sure you are.

"You have to take me out to dinner," I said.

Her smiled turned into a grin.

"Sure cupcake. Where do you want to go?"

Now it's my turn to grin.

"McDonald's."

Her face mirrored a look of disbelief.

"I offered to take you out to anywhere you want, expensive restaurants included, but McD? Really, Coo coo bear?"

“You’ve never been to a McDonald’s, haven’t you?”

Cassidy paused, scratching her head. “I may have… a long time ago.”

"So what’s the problem? Like you said. Simple, but enjoyable," I winked at her and turned to leave. "Oh by the way, carry my bag please."

Then, leave like a boss.

I'm starting to get the hang of this.
