1871 Words
The dinner at Tong’s went out just fine. I focus on eating the foods in front of me to stop myself from being tense because I’m sitting beside my boss. And it went out peacefully, but not that long. It’s already past eight in the evening and we’re on our way to ICON club. I’m back sitting on the passenger seat beside my boss in his car again. And I can feel the heavy atmosphere between us, again. Why does it feel like this whenever I’m alone with him? It’s like there’s a magnet that pulls us together. And it’s freaking insane. “Their foods taste great for an affordable price.” I was startled when he suddenly speak. “Yeah. Indeed, Sir.” I answered shortly trying to cut off the conversation that he started. “How did you know that place?” he threw another question again that made me cussed in my head. Damn it! Stop talking to me! “A friend recommended it.” Another closed-ended answer that I said to him. “Hmmm. How are you?” My brow furrowed because of his question. “I’m good, Sir.” I said as I tried to sit properly on my seat. “You sure?” he asked while raising his brow to me. “Why would I not be sure, Sir?” I said trying not to sound pissed. “You look so tense to me, Crysler.” I fidgeted on my seat.Damn him and his keen observation. “Am I making you uncomfortable?” he added as he glanced at me for a bit. “I-I.. No Sir.” I stuttered. Damn it! The car suddenly stop. I looked outside and saw that he parked in front of ICON. I saw how he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel like he wanted to say something and it’s making me nervous. I swallowed hard as I unfasten my seatbelt and tried to open the door but it was locked. I cursed him in my head as I turned to look at him. “Unlock it.” I said and pursed my lips into thin line letting him know that I’m serious. He looked at me and licked his lower lip. I clenched my fist to restrained what am I feeling. Damn! Damn! “Look, Crysler—“ “Just open the f*****g door, now.” I said in gritted teeth. I don’t care if he’s my boss. This is out of the line and we’re not in the office anymore. He sighed and ran his fingers in his hair. And damn him for looking so hot to my eyes. As in double damn! Damn it! Am I turning to bi already? This is f*****g crazy! I tried to open the door again and good thing that he already unlocked it. I immediately get out of his very expensive car. Damn him and his car! I marched towards where Clary is and the others with a stoic expression. They’re already lining up to get in. While I saw my boss in my peripheral vision walking towards where we are with the same stoic expression too. “Are you okay, Crysler?” Clary asked, confused. “Yeah. Why?” I said while my brows furrowed. She tapped my cheek, making me startled. “You look so tense. Relax. We’re not in the office,” she said and then laughed. Damn! Do I really look so tense? This is his boss's fault. “Sorry. I think I just need a drink.” I ran my fingers on my hair as I smiled at her weakly. “Then let’s get wasted for tonight,” she said and then winked at me. I can’t help but chuckled a bit of what she just did. She may be a pain in the ass but I can’t deny that she is always the one who makes us laugh. The loud sound of the music, the colorful dancing lights and the people dancing wildly welcome us the moment we got in. The bar is packed up. Friday night is really a party night huh? Clary and Amara lead us upstairs. Clary said that they reserved a VIP table for us. I sit on the end of the couch trying to give Clary and Amara a space to sit on. But they didn’t sit beside me. Clary sits beside Sir Light, and Amara sitted in front Clary which is beside Dane. I stiffened when my boss sat beside me and put his arms on the arm rest. I was startled when his arm touched my back. So I moved away and tried not to lean on the backrest. “What do you want to drink?” My eyes widened and my hair on my nape stood up when he suddenly whispered on my ear. I moved away looking at him bewildered. What the hell was that?! I saw how he licked his lower lip while looking at me with an amused expression. I swallowed hard. Damn it! Why does he look so hot doing that? “Crsyler!” Clary shouted in my ear. “Can you hear me?” She shouted again. Damn! I just realize why she did that. It’s too loud and she knew that we can’t hear each other. And maybe that’s why his boss did that as well. Damn it! Everything he will do affects me. I moved towards Clary’s seat and talked to her ears. “Yeah! I can hear you.” “What did Sir Dark whisper to you huh?” she asked and then gave me a teasing smile. Damn! She saw that. “He’s just asking what we want to drink.” I said and pursed my lips. “Tell him we want Jack Daniels,” she said and then laughed. I just nodded and then turned to my boss to tell him what they wanted to drink. “They want Jack Daniels,” I said in a loud voice. The hell that I will move closer to say it to his ear. “What?” he asked while moving closer to me. Damn this loud music! “I said, they want Jack Daniels,” I said with gritted teeth on his ear. I saw him smirking while looking at me. He leans forward towards my ear and I can feel his breath on my neck making me shiver. “I love that,” he said in my ear and then looked me in the eyes. I looked away trying to compose myself. I clenched my fist and cursed on my head. Damn it! A couple minutes later, our table is already full of finger foods and some bottles of Jack Daniels. Dane is the gunner who will pour the liquor in one shot glass and pass it to us. He also took the first shot. After him should be my boss, me, Clary, Sir Light, Amara and then back to him. It will be clockwise rotation. I was eating the dynamite lumpia when my boss handed me the shot glass. It’s my turn to drink. I didn’t even notice that he’s done drinking his turn. I shivered when his fingers accidentally touched mine. I ignored the strange feeling it gives me and shot the liquor straight. The bitter taste of it ran towards my throat. I licked the remaining drops of it on the side of my lips and I saw how my boss's eyes became dark while looking at my lips. I put the shot glass on the table and continued eating the dynamite lumpia while trying to ignore my boss beside me. We’ve been drinking and eating for some time now. Two bottles of Jack Daniel are down and we’re on the third bottle when the girls decide to dance downstairs. They’re kind of tipsy already so they want to sweat it out. They invited me to dance and I agreed to join them. I’m kinda tipsy as well. Dane came with us while Sir Light and my boss were left on our table. The moment we arrived on the dance floor, the two girls danced right away. Amanda is dancing with Dane while Clary is dancing with me. I opened the three buttons of my button down shirt and folded up the sleeves. Damn! I feel so hot all over. “Are you having fun, Crysler?” Clary shouted in my ear. “Yeah!” I shouted back. We dance to the beat of the music. I was already sweating a lot. Jeez! Dane and Amanda are already kissing on the dance floor. I thought they’re not dating? I shook my head. Not dating their ass huh? The hair on my nape suddenly stood up when I felt someone is staring at me. I look up and saw my boss standing while looking down at me intensely. He is holding a shot glass and drank it straight without leaving his eyes on me. I swallowed hard again when I felt the tension between us. And it’s getting stronger. I looked away and turned to Clary. “I’ll go to the restroom,” I shouted at her and she just nodded as a response. I didn’t waste any second. I walk fast towards the restroom. I washed my face and tried to breath evenly. Damn it. When will this feeling stop? I peed before going back to the dance floor and look at them. I don’t see them anymore. Maybe they’re back to our table. So I decided to go back. I glanced on my wrist watch and it’s already past twelve midnight. That was fast. My brows furrowd when I arrived at our table. They’re not back yet. I cussed on my head because it’s only my boss who is sitting on our table drinking by himself. I’m still tispy. I swallowed hard and sit beside him. I closed my eyes and leaned my head on the arm rest not minding if my boss’s arms were still on it. The alcohol is already corrupting my system. f**k! How many shots did I already take? I lost count of it. “You okay?” my boss said in my ear. I opened my eyes and looked at him. “Yeah! How about you? You shouldn’t be drinking a lot. You’ll be driving.” Damn! Did I just say that? Damn this alcohol! I saw him smirking as he leaned closer to me. The smell of his breath with the combination of alcohol is so intoxicating. “I think you didn’t know what my car is capable of.” I saw how he raised his brow to me. Yeah right. His freaking car can do full self driving. The thought of the car running while my boss is on the backseat with someone pop-out of my head. I cursed many times on my head. Hell, I care about what he will do in his car! I didn’t know that I was already glaring at him. Damn it! “Where are they?” I asked as I closed my eyes again. Damn! I’m already sleepy. “They already leave. The girls are already wasted,” he said as he drank another shot of JD. My eyes instantly opened and I looked at him. “You’re gonna be kidding me,” I said bewildered. “I wish I am.” He chuckled and then handed me the shot glass with JD. I took it and drank it straight. “That was good,” I said and leaned on the backrest again. “Nah! This is much better,” he said and then suddenly pushed the back of my head towards him crashing his lips to mine.
