XAVIER I WANT PICKLES

ANASTASIA

"Let's go home, babe" Xavier whispered to me at nearly midnight.

"Okay"

We bid the others bye and went home.

"I'm not sleepy yet" I said.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I'm craving pickles"

"What?"

"I want pickles"

"We have some in the fridge, I'll get them"

Xavier went down and came pack with a jar of pickles. Mom had stocked all the cravings for me.

I ate the pickles with Xavier moving his hand on my head. I soon felt sleepy.

"Let's sleep, cuddle me please?"

"Why not" Xavier replied.

He cuddled me deep into him, I recently was very needy for sex. But Xavier strictly said no. I soon fell asleep in his arms. I felt him kiss my head before he went to sleep.

When I woke up, Xavier was already gone. I called him.

"Morning, babe"

"Where are you?"

"At the company"

"Oh....you went away without kissing me goodbye"

"I'm sorry, but I got an important call from the office, so I had to go"

"Oh..."

"Remember Leo and his girlfriend are coming for dinner today, go ask the chef to make things you like..."

"I'll go after I've had bath"

"Hmmm"

"Bye"

"Love ya, bye"

I went to the bathroom and took bath, got ready and went down. I greeted Mom and then went to the kitchen and asked the chef to make some dishes for dinner. Then I went to mom and told her that two f my friends were coming for dinner.

XAVIER

I sat in the office, doing my work, but still missing Ana's face. I used to watch her work from this desk, but she isn't here. I couldn't wait for her to get back to work.

Leo knocked my office, "Come in"

"Sir, where are we having dinner tonight?"

"First of all, stop the sir thing. And we're having dinner at my place. I'll give you the address"

"Ok, thanks...I'm too excited to meet Anastasia"

"Hmm.."

"Thank you" he said as he left.

I texted Leo the address to my house. He replied with a thankyou. I closed the phone and got back to working. I had a meeting later with the designing committee and the marketing team.

I wasn't free until 6 in the evening, so I went home immediately.

"Welcome back, love" Anastasia greeted me with a kiss.

"Hmm...thanks"

"Your friends will be here at 8"

"Hmmm..."

"I love you" I said for no reason.

"Me too, love"

Now, this doesn't felt awkward, the boss-assistant thing. We've got used to the fact that we love each other. And weren't ashamed.
