a step closer to being in a relationship

Days turned into weeks, kaisha had gotten used to working in Marshall group during the one month she had spent there and she also learnt not to say much to Javier, except he asked her a question.

During meetings, kaisha didn't eat, unless Javier urged her too. she went for hangouts with some colleagues, she adapted pretty well with her environment... well she wasn't exactly comfortable around Javier yet. she got closer to her little friends (Janelle and Kim) that came to see her once in a while.

This particular day, kaisha dressed extra special.. not just her casual office wears. she wore a wine gown, that stopped before her knees, the gown had a deep v-neck cut, it was fitted from the chest area to her waist and flared from her waist to her mid-thighs the gown contoured her slim waist and accentuated her round hips. the color of the gown highlighted her fair and flawless complexion.

kaisha had a smiley face, but today she was smiling so widely.

of course, Javier noticed... he actually thought she was looking more beautiful

'maybe she's trying to impress me' with that thought In his head, he appreciated her efforts. he was dazed by her, from her outfit to her hair to those little jewelries.. she was looking so enticing.

"sir"

"..."

"Mr Marshall"

"..."

'has he gone deaf?' kaisha thought, she was reading him some reports, then she noticed he wasn't paying attention to what she was saying.

BANG

"MR MARSHALL" she banged his desk with all boldness, it worked because Javier finally looked at her.

he got up from his chair and walked towards her. as he took a step towards her, she took a step backwards.

she stopped when she hit the back of a couch, she rested on it as he leaned into her. her heart skipped two beats as he shortened the space between them.

"what gave you the nerves little Ms Wilhelm" Javier asked in a low seductive voice, he cornered her by putting his two hands on two sides of the couch. his masculine scent knocked kaisha off.. she didn't know what to say.

"I... I ... I needed your attention, and you weren't listening to what I was saying" kaisha managed to say in a timid voice, she didn't dare to look up.. his dark grey eyes always managed to make her feel anxious and uneasy.

"you like it when I pay attention to you?" with a devilish smirk on his lips, he stared down at her.

"yes" on hearing that reply, Javier's long dainty fingers raised her chin up, he wanted to see her face. as he did that, he caught a view of her slightly pouted lips, the little pout made her look, more adorable and innocent.

"you hate it when I'm not giving you attention?"

"I said yes already, I was reading a report to you and you spaced out, am I supposed to like that?... I wasted my time reading that report, and now I'll have to do it again, hmph" she summoned courage and stared at him.

"ohh... that's what you meant" seeing that she was genuinely clueless about what he was asking her, he asked another question.

"then why did you dress this way today"

"ohh this?... I don't know if I should tell you this" she sounded shy, and pinkish could appeared on her fair cheek.

"say it" he was starting to believe his thoughts, 'she really dressed this way for me'.

"after work, I'm going on a date with a guy from the public relations department" she told him happily, her huge smile made her beautiful dentition come in view.

"a date? with who??" her reply surprised Javier, he wasn't expecting her to say that

"with the Mr Jones" still blushing, she replied without noticing the dark cloud that passed Javier's face.

"the head of public relations department??.. you won't go anywhere"

"ex.. excuse me, why would you say that?" kaisha was flabbergasted at how overbearing he sounded.

"what time is the dumb date" Javier had moved away from her and had gone to lean on his desk, stretching his long athletic legs, the way he leaned on the desk was like a male model striking a hot sexy pose.

"it's by 6:00pm and for your information.. it's not a dumb date" she stood upright, seeing that he had given her some breathing space.

"if it's not a dumb date, what is it" Javier pushed her buttons more..

"it's going to be a romantic date, between two people that are one step closer to being in a relationship... do you get it now?" as kaisha made her point, she unconsciously took slow fierce steps towards him.

she was now a little close to Javier. he looked at her petite figure and looked at the distance between them, seeing that she wasn't aware of the distance.. his lips curled upward.

when kaisha saw his charming smile, she was shocked about how her feet had moved from the sitting area to his desk.

just as she was about shift backwards.. Javier stretched out one arm and pulled her closer to him, he locked his arms around her slim waist and spoke to her slowly.

"you'll go on that date, but you aren't going to date anyone"

"..." kaisha was dumbstruck.

"I won't allow you to date someone else" he whispered this sentence sensually In her ears.. his hot minty breath invaded her senses.

On hearing that, blood rushed to kaisha's cheek, making it red and hot.

finally regaining her senses, weakly muttered an "excuse me" as she struggled to get out of his strong arms.

she finally scurried out of Javier's office after lots of futile efforts.

she dashed into her office and downed a glass of water, to calm down her racing heart.

***

6:13pm

kaisha sat anxiously in a restaurant, she was waiting for her date to arrive..

she sat somewhere near the entrance, where she could easily be noticed.

while waiting, her mind drifted back to her sneaky link with Javier. unconsciously, a blush crept up her face.

after their little talk in the office, Javier went back to his cold and aloof nature.

she checked time on her phone again.

'6:25pm???.... he's almost 30 minutes late.. let me send him a text'

just as she was about to send him a text she received a text from him.

It read: "I'm sorry Ms Wilhelm, I just wanted to have some fun with you, you were an easy catch.. since you're so naive.

I actually have a fiancee.. bye"

"what!!!.. you stupid handsomely ugly creature... you aren't even a real man... damn you Mr Jones... you son of a dumpling" kaisha cursed loudly, not minding if she attracted attention...

"I feel so stupid now... aishhhh" she picked up her things dejectedly and left the restaurant.
