Gloria
We soon left for our respective jobs as lunch time was getting over. Jordan and I bid our goodbyes with Lucy and headed for the lift. We both were so engrossed in talking that I missed my step and collided with a Hard wall in front of me.
I closed my eyes and waited for my butt to land on the ground. But it did not happen. I felt like I was being held by two strong arms and finally shot my eyes open! I could not decipher the emotion behind those Cold Gray eyes! He saved me? Jesus not him!! I whined in my head.
My facial expressions must have changed because Mr. Grumpy shook his head in disapproval. “Watch your steps Ms. Blossom.” He spit it out shooting glares at me. I calmed myself and tried to apologise, “I am S-sorry. It won’t happen again.”
With that heard he almost looked convinced, but he shot another question at me,
“I think you did not quite understand the Rules Ms. Blossom.” His eyes were now travelling between me and Jordan. It confused me a little.
Why did he care so much? I scoffed at him, but regained myself quickly,
“I know what you mean by RULES and I did not plan on breaking any of it.” I told him with gritted teeth.
He came closer to me and leaned down. His hands were in his pockets. I inhaled his Musky cologne. It instantly calmed me down.
His eyes darkened and black flexes started forming in his Irises. So many emotions danced in those beautiful Gray Orbs.
A stray hair fell in front of his eyes. I wished I could run my hands through those silky brown locks of his. What the hell??
Where did it come from? Glo! How in hell could you think something like that about him? He is your boss for Christ’s sake!
My subconscious screamed at me! I finally came out of my daydream and took a small step back. He smirked at me and said those lines so low, they were heard by only me, “You have disappointed me, Shortcake.”
He did not even wait for my reply and left without sparing me a glance. Jordan got confused with my little encounter there with Mr. Boss. He scratched his neck and shrugged his shoulders.
We both thought that it would be best to just be silent for some time. So we got into the elevator and went to our respective places. I thought I would be able to explain Jordan about my condition with Mr. Boss someday.
With a sigh I entered my department floor and joined Mr. Joshua in his work. Hopefully this would distract me from having thoughts about Aiden and his angry face. After that my day ended well without any interruptions by Mr. Tall guy.
I left at exactly 5 pm, humming my favourite song to myself. It was Friday so I wanted to relax and maybe watch a movie and just chill out with Mel. I reached the parking to get inside my Crosstrek and drive home.
Suddenly somebody grabbed me by my shoulder and dragged me to one of the corners. I screamed with fright and started punching that guy on his shoulder. “Leave me you bastard,” I yelled. His tall frame was hovering over me when he covered my mouth with his hand and I let out muffled cries.
His other hand was around my waist. My eyes almost came out of it’s sockets when I saw who it was. I bit his hand and sunk my teeths in his palm and stomped my heel on his leg. “Ow ow ow, fuck. Gloria you are impossible!!” He shot me an irritated and pained look.
I laughed at his misery. “You deserved it. Who told you to attack me like that?” I spat out. “I thought you would be happy to see me. You bit me like an angry mouse.” He got vexed. I hugged him when he was still trying to sooth his palm.
I shot him my cutest puppy dog eyes. “Now when you think you are getting busted you try to resolve.” He looked at my face for a while and sighed, shrugging his shoulders, “Okay, okay. You won.” That made me dance like a child.
I jumped and gave him a bone crushing hug. I loved my Brother. He was 2 years older than me but never stopped scaring the shit out of me since we were kids. Aaron hugged me back and rested his head on my head. “You can never scare me.” I teased him.
“Yeah the look on your face said otherwise.” He stated, comically mimicking my voice. We both laughed at his hilarious acting.
We were in the middle of our moment but someone cleared their throat. There he stood with his signature Icy glare. “Shouldn’t I get the greetings too?” He voiced out. My brother broke the hug and turned to greet his Best friend.
He opened his arms and Aiden hugged him in a welcoming manner. “It’s been so long my friend.” Aiden laughed and suddenly his eyes were on me. He said something in Aaron’s ears. I could not get to listen to any of the words.
They were having hushed conversations. After sometime Aaron turned towards me and pleaded, “I am sorry Bunny, but I have to finish something first with Aiden.” He added my nickname. My face fell a little. I didn't even get a chance to properly welcome him.
“What? Why? Couldn’t you finish your work some other time?” Aaron shook his head and continued, “Apparently it’s a bit urgent. I will see you tomorrow okay? I am gonna stay at Aiden’s tonight.” I nodded at him.
He hurriedly took out his bag from his car and loaded it into Aiden’s car trunk. Aiden just stood there and stared at me, his eyes twinkling. He mouthed something which said, ‘Bunny’ and smirked at me. My cheeks warmed at that.
I just wanted to die at that moment. I thought about ways to murder Aaron for blurting that out loud. How can my fate let me get embarrassed in front of this stupid man every freaking time? I shot him an angry glare and ran towards my Crosstrek.
I wondered what these two idiots had on their hands. What was the emergency anyway? What’s going on between them? Why was my brother involved in it? Why was he even here? I pushed the thoughts aside, climbed inside and sped off to home without giving them second glances.
