Difference between You and Him

SIX

“No. I’m not drunk and I’m not going anywhere but to talk to you…”

Shade’s POV

“Shade.” Even I’m in the kitchen, I clearly heard him call me

“Yes sir?” I said while walking back to where my boss is.

“Have a drink with me.” I stop at the place where I'm standing and stares at him. He turns his head at me after opening the bottle of wine, “You don’t want to?”

I quickly shook my head, “N-no, I would love to sir.” I walk at him and placed the glass at the table.

Vince poured wine at my glass and so his. “Work is done Shade, I’m now your friend.” He then smiles. He grabs his glass of wine and took a sip.

I can’t help but look at my glass and gulp before I could do the same thing that my boss does. The wine tastes good, it was sweet and quite bitter. Not like what my boss did, I drank all of the wine in my glass.

“Shade, you’ll get drank.” He said in a shocked face. No, It’s more like a worried face. Why does he think I’ll get drunk, I had just drunk one glass of it and I’ll probably drink more. The taste is so addictive, I really love it.

“Don’t worry sir, I’m not a light-weighted drinker.” I saw him nod while still making a worried face.

“Just don’t drink too much, you might get a headache tomorrow.” He said then pours wine at my glass again.

Why does he have to worry? I’m a man and I don’t easily get drunk. I had drink beer before I didn’t get drunk, well maybe because I only drank one can, or was it just a half? but still, I’m not a light-weighted drinker. I won’t get drunk, I’m sure of it.

“Shade, are you sure you’re okay?” I took a glance at him and drinks my third glass of wine. Just like last time, I drink it all, not leaving a single drop.

“Sir Vince, why do you always care about me? I’m totally fine. I’m still not drunk and that will never happen.” I said and grabs the bottle of wine at the table. I saw my boss frowns but I don’t care. I put a lot of wine at my glass and I’m happy about it.

“Shade!” he stole the bottle from me at puts it back at the table. “Stop. You’re already drunk-”

“I told you I’m still not drunk!” I shout. I suddenly felt dizzy. Everything around me is moving, “Oh sh*t! There’s an earthquake! Mr. Lopez, get down at the table. We’re gonna die!” I quickly cover my head and gets under the table

“Shade!” I look back at my boss who looks mad. What now? He’s mad? Of what? This guy is really moody just like a girl changes clothes- wait that’s a song. “Could you get up? There’s no earthquake.”

My forehead furrowed, “What do you mean? It’s shaking and it’s really making me dizzy!”

“It’s not shaking. You’re getting dizzy cause you’re already drunk, now get up.” I then go out of the table and stood up. I look around and the room is really moving. Am I really drunk? “What are you standing there, sit down.”

Without thinking, I obey my boss and look at him. “You are so bossy and mean,” I said that made his eyes wide open. “Yeah, you are a mean person, you even hurt your own sister. Why don’t you change yourself?”

I saw him look away and sigh, “Stop Shade. You need to go back to your room now. You are really drunk, you are talking nonsense.” He then stood up and tried to help me stood up but I push his arms

“No. I’m not drunk and I’m not going anywhere but to talk to you. Listen to me, you young handsome billionaire, you should change your stupid attitude. You are hurting people’s feelings because you are so straightforward. I know you should be honest but you should also think of their feelings! You are being an a**hole!” I said without thinking, I guess this is the power of alcohol. It makes you brave and utter words that you are keeping in your head.

My boss stays silent and just stares at me. He’s making that expressionless face again making me curious about what he truly feels.

“Why aren’t you talking? Do you want me to continue scolding you?” I said but he didn’t reply. I chuckled then leans towards him, “Why are you so handsome? Do you know how good-looking you are?”

Both of his eyebrows raise and his eyes were… sparkling? Did I saw it right or am I just hallucinating? I’m probably just drunk. “How would you say I’m handsome Mr. Garcia?” he said

I pouted and acts like I’m thinking, “Because of your face. Also, your kindness and being a smarty pant. You are the kind of guy who girls want to chase. By the way, why don’t you have a girlfriend?”

He breaks his stare at me and pours wine at his glass, “I don’t want one.”

“Why? You don’t want a girlfriend, how about a boyfriend?” I joke, maybe. He looks at me again with a serious face. I then laugh but it sounded more like a fake one

“Stop kidding around.” He raises his glass towards his mouth and took a sip. I can’t help but stare at the way he drinks the wine. It was satisfying, especially when he pressed both of his lips together and sticks out the tip of his tongue to taste the wine at his lips.

I gulp, “What if I’m not kidding?”

He then looks at me. It was like the time stops and the world’s stops revolving for a moment. We both stares at our eyes, I don’t see anything else but only him. I didn’t know when did I move to where my boss sits, but I don’t care. I move a bit and leans towards him, I then close my eyes and ready to feel his lips. Before I could kiss him, I suddenly remember something

I move away, “I forgot to take a shower.” I utter. I heard my boss sigh and stood up

“You have to go back to your room now Shade.” He grabs my arm and tries to stand me up, I obey what he did.

We were near the door when I felt dizzy, I saw a bed and pull away from my boss, my body felt the soft bed and it smells like a sweet-scented perfume that made me close my eyes.

"Shade, stand up. That’s my bed.” He said but I didn’t move a bit. He steps near the bed and grabs my arm again. “Let’s go.”

I slowly open my eyes and stare at the face of my boss. Why does he have to be this handsome? I know I’ve been his secretary for two years but I never felt this kind of feeling. This is so weird. Just looking at his face, it’s making my heart beat fast. Is it still normal? Or am I feeling something else?

I don’t know if I might be but I can’t help but twist my arm and hold his own arm then pulls it at me. His face was shocked at what I did. My face is between his arms, helping him not to fall on my face. I didn’t look away and so he. Just like what happened earlier, we stare at each other’s eyes. I then notice his pinkish lips, I remember that he drank wine before. I put both of my hands at his face and pull it to mine.

I finally felt his soft and sweet lips. It felt so well that he responds to my kiss. I love this feeling, I really do…
