How sweet.

The messages didn't seem to end so I had to skip the last few.

Lucas I am very much alive and reached home safely and FYI I was taking a shower. U guys sure know how to make someone feel loved. Like seriously 38 msgs -Emily

I read the msg once again before clicking send. I was tempted to go through Adrian messages, but decided to ignore them anyways, but then a new message popped up.

ARE YOU GOING TO FUCKING REPLY? I'LL SERIOUSLY REACH YOUR HOME AND BRING DOWN THE GODDAM DOOR IF YOU DONT REPLY IN 5 MINS.

IDIOT I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THE KISS AND THEN U SEND THAT KISS FACE. ROT IN HELL LUCAS.

On second thoughts, he's not my new bestie.

As for Adrian...

I decided to confront him the very next day at work, before leaving for a visit to the hospital.

After all, I couldn't let a kiss affect my work, for my father's sake at least. Can't be a bitch about it.

If it was that simple.

I took one last look at myself in the mirror, then left the house after locking it.

The drive to the building was shorter than usual. Wonder why.

I headed to the elevator after muttering a quick hi to Sarah.

Heck, the elevator even reached the top floor faster than usual.

As the doors opened, I was immediately met by a pair of green eyes.

Emily

All the confidence I had gathered seemed to go down the dumps. My throat went dry and the memory of yesterday started replaying in my head again.

Emily it was just a kiss. Okay so it was your first one, but nonetheless, simply a kiss. I mean it's just lip locking. Doesn't have to mean anything. Don't let it get to you. Act natural. Fake a smile. You're definitely good at it. You've done it before for ages. You can do it again.

So I did what my instincts told me to do. I plastered my best fake smile and adjusted my eyes on his face. Looking at his face made me gulp. He was staring at me with such intensity that I was sure goosebumps had formed on my skin.

"Good morning Mr Henderson." To my utter disappointment, my voice came out really hoarse. My greeting was supposed to calm the situation and tell him that the kiss didn't effect me at all and that we were back to the boss and assistant terms. I was expecting him to smile back and greet me.

Obviously, I don't expect him to act indifferently. He's practically a man whore. Kissing is just like poking someone on the arm for him. He didn't respond. Infact he seemed zoned out. He just kept staring at me. I took that as my queue to leave.

I took two steps when he firmly grabbed my upper arm and pulled me towards him, causing me to shiver. "Why did you run off like that yesterday?"

Are you kidding me? "I have no idea what you're talking about."

I least expected him to frown and say the following words. "So you're going to pretend that the kiss never happened?"
