I don't know what or how this came to be, but it's happening and I can't seem to change that, the thought of how that night could have ended up won't leave my head, it all happened last two nights and this is the beginning of the week, yet I can't still think straight, her outfit last night was unlike her and practically having a negative effect on my mind.
I forced myself to put in the work and push myself to workout, but with your mind that low, that's calls for discipline, discipline in abundance. I finished with my workout successfully, trying to shift everything away by the side until I heard the knock on the door, wait..... I wasn't expecting no visitor.
Opening the door, it was Lydia standing before me, welcoming herself in. “ Morning David, hope you enjoyed your weekend?...”. She was putting on a bright smile like she's having the best time of her life, probably has something to do with her adventurous weekend I presume.
She was dressed just the way she was used to, professional. She came with my breakfast, dropping it down on my table. “ I don't know whether you'll like the change, if not.... I'll get you something else....”. She was looking at me, not hitting the point of what she was saying or even sounding like she was done with her speech, but she just stood there, watching with a smile on her face.
“ What're you trying to say?”.
I can see her struggle swallowing down whatever was in her throat as if what she was about to say was something kind of off limit or thrilling. “ I got you a home cooked breakfast, made by me, thought you might like it, but I can just order something else if you wish.....”.
“ As If you will allow me to dodge this missile, even if I try, you'll find a way to get me to accept it..... That's your super power...”.
I've never been this communicative before, but right now, I just used a speech that sounds more like a sarcasm, something I don't usually do. A brighter smile crept into her feature, knowing that it's possible going to be a success, that she has gotten this grown a** man to eat her home prepared food for breakfast.
I have no time to just sit around eating, so I had to take the food with me to work so that I can eat them there, that would give her enough space to take care of my home activities before coming to the office.
I really can't escape this thoughts, even when seated in my office, my eyes on the screen watching the blank space, trying to force myself to think out something creative and start transferring them to the screen before me. I was almost about to reach five thousand word count when I heard the front door to my office open, it's her, it's definitely her in the office. Her presence remembered me that I came with breakfast, immediately I thought of it, my tummy rumbled, showing signs of hunger knocking in my stomach, it blurred my thoughts, giving me a signal that it's about time I get food into my system.
Shifting my laptop by the side, I grabbed the flask, opened them and was glad I did, the aroma was out of this world and it's a rice and beans mixed together, a good source of lean protein, a complete protein which would help my body in building muscles, it's more like she knows my diet plan.
I was almost done with it when she came in into my personal office, carrying some documents which she placed on her body as she caught my stare on her. “ I hope you really enjoyed it Sir?....”.
“ David ”.
“ Really sorry, not yet used to going with your first name, not something I am used to, but I believe I have to get used to it, since I also requested you get used to my early morning knock on the door.....”.
She kept the documents on the table, but this time, she didn't walk away, she lingered, watching me eat the food she brought me. “ Someone might think you're into me....”. I didn't know how that came out, but it did, before I could find something else to cover up what I just said, she was already laughing, what's funny?.
“ I possibly will, but that's not possible.... You're my boss, a personal Assistance crushing on her Boss, that's a fairytale story.....”.
I stopped eating, looking at her sudden reaction, the way she laughed, how cute she looked, her social energy and vibe, total confidence portrayed before me like she sees me as someone she could be comfortable around, a friend.
She automatically stopped, seeing that I wasn't smiling or laughing back at her action, I was just blank like always. “ Oh.... I'm really sorry Sir, I went too far ”. She apologized, immediately trying to walk out of my private space.
“ Lydia..... I like the food, always prepare them yourself from now on ”.
I said, a smile creeping into my feature, watching the way she's staring back at me with wide eyes like she wasn't expecting me to say that, “ I will Sir..... I mean, David ”.
“ I'm lucky having you as my personal assistant....”.
That's another escape of confession, this time, the fear on her feature escaped, now it was replaced by a deep emotion, like what I just said went really deep in her heart, a smile came to her lips, eyes looking like they're getting wet and about to water.
“ Coming here was the best decision I ever made too, David....”.
She walked away, carrying the empty flask with her, I don't know where all this emotions and thought came from, but truth be told, it feels like I am about to jeopardize our professional status.
