"I want to know you, the real you. I'm sorry for acting like this but I don't know how to act in this situation, and I know it seems weird I took you out of the office for this but this is new and if this project doesn't work out, I don't need the disappoint from my employees," he looks down, disappointed in himself even.

I'm stunned, he's my boss, but he also wants my help on a huge project that could advance my career. I have two options but how do you choose between living your life the same as it's always been, or growing your career and possibly making a huge mistake by getting close with your boss?

"If you're lying to me, this will ruin me, my career, everything. I'm not one of those women that will flirt with her boss to get what she wants. I've worked my ass off to get here and I'm not going to ruin that by getting close to you." I want to be able to prove myself to him, show I'm and asset to this company, but on the other hand I want to keep my job and not compromise it.

"I promise to only show you the best of me."

8 AM

We exchanged numbers and went on our way last night, though it might seem unprofessional, we've only texted each a few times and it was where and when to meet today to talk about the project. Usually on the weekends I like to go to the gym or hang out with my friends and not think about work but we figured getting a head start on it would be most effective. We decided going to the office and just having a meeting room to ourselves was the best way to go; quiet, no disturbances, and internet of course.

9 AM

When I walk into the meeting room he's already there, working on his laptop and going through papers. I have to admit I actually like seeing him like this, wearing actual clothes, looking hard to work, eyes deep in thought.

"Good morning, ready for a hard day of work?" I startle him, I guess he didn't know I was there.

"Of course, let's get to it."

And a hard day of work it was; I don't even remember eating lunch. We went over everything I can imagine, possible statistics, designs, materials, sales, etc. Richard looked so exhausted by the end of it, I can tell he actually put a lot of effort into this which I wasn't expecting. I figured he would've had someone do most of the work for him since he's the big boss. Working this closely with him has been very comfortable too, he hasn't made me feel belittled or hasn't come on to me like last night. Seeing this side of him makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

6 PM

I just got back from the gym and I get a text from Richard;

Can we meet tomorrow, I forgot to go over a couple of things, it'll be quick I promise.

Yeah, sure. Where?

I'll have a car for you at noon, we'll meet at my personal office in the city?

Sounds good.

My feelings towards this whole thing have gotten a lot better, I believe Richard is actually trying to do something good here and needed somebody who he knew wouldn't see him as a mean boss but as a working partner. I now believe he is in it for the project and not me anymore which makes things so much more comfortable.

THE NEXT DAY

NOON

I get to his office and see he has out all of his papers, sitting in his chair and muttering to himself. I get his attention and he moves away from his desk. Again he's wearing normal clothes and looks very attractive in them, his short sleeves hug his biceps in all of the right places.

"Sabrina, glad you could come today. Yesterday I forgot to talk about a minor thing but still important." He goes on to talk about business deals but I'm not paying attention. All I can think is kissing him, I know it's wrong but I can't help it, he's gorgeous, intelligent, and seeing him as this passionate, hard working man makes me want to swoon.

After he's finished I collect all of my papers needed for the project and go over to his desk, noticing a picture of, I assume, his daughter. She looks exactly like him, dark hair, dark eyes, big nose, and a huge smile; it's something anyone barely sees.

"Do you need something over here?" Richard says right over my shoulder, startling me. I turn around, and what feels like first time, I really see him as a person and not my boss. He's a guy with a life and a family and feelings; he's human too.

"No I don't need anything, I was just about to leave." Then it happens, I did it.

I kissed him.

He pulls away and looks at me, I have no idea what his expression is because I'm in shock that I even did that. What was I thinking; he's probably going to take me off the project, or worse, fire me.

"Sabrina!" I finally realize he's saying my name, saying loud this time so I actually hear him.

"Um.... Yes?"

"I think you need to go."

Fuck. I'm definitely getting in trouble.
