Memories

For a long part of my life I have always had a fear of authority figures, my mind always went back to the thought of my eighth grade head master, with a stern face, balding head and round stomach, his eyes like a whip hitting you anytime you moved before him scared me and other students my age even those older. the man just too scary, he reminded me of a dementor from harry potter sucking your very soul with his sharp eyes.

When I was little and very small for my age he looked like a giant, but now if we compared heights, I'm sure I'm taller that him by at least two feet, being 5'6

So this explains why I was pacing in front of a door, with a gold placard with the words

'CEO' etched into it, while wringing my hand in anxiety. I felt like my lungs were gonna jump from my chest and dance the salsa, and with how I felt like gagging, my stomach would be their partner

I can't believe that as soon as the new CEO was appointed, I was the very first victim, I don't know what i did wrong, I was a good worker, not the best, but I was good, apart from coming late, and playing with my phone occasionally I was a good worker

it wasn't my fault that no one ever came to my department, I was but a humble secretary that didn't have much work to do, except occasionally helping my fellow workers.

I couldn't lose this job where else can i find a job where I'm paid to do almost nothing

I was thinking of what I could say to soothe the savage beast when the man that called my here before, came back, when he looked at me his lips curved into a big smile scaring me, his smile almost seemed twisted, there was something different from before but I just could understand it.

"You may enter now" he said his voice soft, he swaggered away and took a sit by the side of the door where chairs for visitors were kept he winked at me and my fears increased

'What the hell was this... was I getting taunted by a feminine man'

I chose to ignore him and walked straight into the door not knowing about the smirk that appeared on the man's face before it disappeared

...

The CEO office was how would I say it in one word.

CHAOS

It was like before I came in a tornado swept in and laid waste to the innocent documents strewn all over the floor. with my mouth agape I stared at the lone figure that faced the transparent window, making me wonder how he was so calm, was he ransacked, or was it his own doing.

I stepped forward, "Hello sir you called...."

before i could finish my sentence he said "Clean this up" with a voice without room for discussion.

my eyelid involuntarily twitched, a sign of my annoyance. but I swallowed it, my employment was in this man's hands.

"Yes sir..." I simply said and started organizing the papers

....

The room was quiet, no one said a word, only the rustle of papers could be heard as I stacked them up and placed them on the table.

I bowed down, " Anything else sir?.." I asked hoping not.

after seconds of silence, white pair of shoes appeared in my eye sight, but I dared not raise my head.

a hand reached towards me and I flinched, his hand reached into my breast pocket much to my shock and he took up the packet of gummy bears I had forgotten to eat.

he opened it before me but I still refused to raise my head afraid that I would slap this...this pervert

"Hmm... you still have a habit of eating gummy bears huh? you look so malnourished, because I haven't been around... you can't do anything without me hah gummy"

Gummy?.. that nickname, no it couldn't be right, my eyes widened,

my head immediately whipped up and I came face to face with the man that had once plagued my thoughts

I swallowed hard, taking a step back before I could take the second step his hands circled my waist dragging me towards him, my breath was caught in my throat, I wanted to scream but couldn't, I just stared at him with blank eyes, my brain had not caught up yet.

I kept staring into his golden cat like eyes, his pink lips curved at the corners, still as pink as it was, his nose still straight as before, his hair that I loved to touch still as dark as before.

"Why are you crying" a hand landed on my cheek cleaning the wetness.

that was when I noticed I was crying, I tried to push him away, punched his, stepped on his foot clawed at him with my short teeth chewed nails, I cursed myself for being stupid and chewing my long nails yesterday night just because I couldn't sleep.

after all my futile actions, I just sagged in his arms, "Let me go... this isn't proper work position"

"Why are you acting so distant... I thought you would be happy to see me?" the man asked, his face showed a small smile. but inside he was panicking, 'Why was she crying she wasn't supposed to cry... she was supposed to be happy'

"Gummy..." he reached over the clean a new tear when his hand was slapped away stinging him.

His face showed hurt.

"I quit " was the last thing she said before she used all he strength to push him away and ran out the door.

To others, she looked like she was crying cause she was fired, but only she knew the truth, she was running away in tears because the man she once loved with her whole heart, the man that took care of her and made her smile, the man that she felt she could trust, the man that left her alone shattered...

.... that man had appeared once again
