Ruby's POV

"Just forget it happened. It was a stupid mistake"

His voice rung though my head. As I was thinking I heard a snap. I looked down and sighed. This is the 30th pencil I've broken today and I'm only two hours into working.

Not only did he take my first kiss but he also brushed it off like I lured him into kissing me. He hasn't called me to his office yet and I'm thankful for that.

"Hello Ms. Carter. Are you ready to go?"

Aaron said standing at my door. Even though our date went horrible we were still friends. He occasionally stopped by my office and take me out to lunch.

I grabbed my phone and purse off my desk and walked out with him. Mr. Cruz was standing at his office door with his arms crossed. His breathing hitched he stared at Aaron's hand that was on the small of my back.

I looked up at Aaron only to see him smirking at Noah. Mr. Cruz was about to say something but his office phone started ringing. He gave Aaron and I one last look before he stepped back in his office.

"Chinese or Thai?"

I thought about it for a second. Lunch is the most important part of my day. After spending hours in an office with people that makes my ass itch I need a good lunch break.

"Chinese" I said after a few seconds. I don't know why but the ham fried rice with some strawberry soda hit hard when you're starving.

I will pick Chinese food over any food that's presented to me.

As we're eating our once lively conversation went silent. Aaron was just staring at the door as I ate my food. I didn't notice until the whole restaurant was silent.

"Mr. Cruz is here"

He said as he looked over my head. I turned around very slowly hoping that by the time I was fully turned around he would disappear.

He was standing at the door with a smirk on his face as he made direct eye contact with Aaron and I. What I seemed to have miss was the tall blonde girl that was standing next to him.

The waiter lead Noah and his little friend to the table right next to us. I could feel his eyes on me as he pulled out her chair so she can sit down. The whole time he was doing that Aaron and I was engaged in a very intense argument.

"Friends isn't better than Full House" I argued as he shook his head.

He's been trying to convince me that Full House is overrated for the longest. He said something about Uncle Jesse being the only watchable actor on the show.

"What? Ross and Rachel is the definition of true love. What did your little Full house have that's you claim is so good?"

"I wish Stephanie was here so she could tell your ass how rude you are"

I said as I rolled my eyes. We both started laughing as it sinked in that we're arguing over characters in a tv show. As we were in our own little world someone cleared their throat. It was Noah.

"So what you're favorite tv show?"

He asked his date as he looked at me from the corner of his eye. Aaron rolled his eyes and got back to eating. He's obviously trying to get our attention.

"I don't watch tv, I have sex"

She said as she let out an obnoxious laugh. I saw Noah flinch as she started slapping the table as if what she said was hilarious.

"Any who, what's your go to order when you go to a new restaurant?"

I asked Aaron. There's always that one meal you have to order every time you go to a new restaurant. I refuse to be brave and try something new only for me to waste my money.

"Chicken tenders and fries. Ain't no way you can go wrong with chicken tenders and fries. If a restaurant manages to mess that up never going back there again"

"Mine is salad. If they mess up leafs and ranch then that's really fucked up"

We both agreed on that. Especially where I used to live in New York everything was over priced. I refuse to spend fifty dollars on a meal only for it to be cold, stale, or disgusting.

"So Allison, what's your favorite food?"

"Cum"

She said with a serious expression on her face. Aaron and I looked at each other in shock. He called the waiter over so we can pay for the food. It's about time we left.

"What the hell? Are you ok? Like are you mentally stable?"

Noah questioned. She was looking at him like he lost his mind as if what she was normal. While they just stared at each we already split the bill in half and paid it.

"You paid me to have sex with you, not have a candle lit dinner in Paris"

She complained as we walked out. Aaron busted out laughing once we were outside. I couldn't help but join in. He really paid someone to have sex with him.

"I'll see you later Ruby"

Aaron said as he dropped me off at my office. I nodded my head and walked in. Even though we're just friends I can't deny that Aaron is fine as hell.

I'm not saying I'll give it up but, he can get it if you know what I mean.

"Stop thinking about him and come to my office"

"Is that God? Is it time for me to go? If I knew this was my last day on earth I would've let Aaron's fine ass take me. Oh lord I'm sorry for all the food I stole when I was hungry. I'm sorry for threatening to burn down my school. Well never mind, I meant that. I...."

"Can you shut up and come to my office so we can go downstairs"

"Oh God! I'm going to hell. I fucking knew it"

I cried. Seconds into my screaming the door busted open. Mr. Cruz was standing at the door and he was fuming.

"I'm not God. Now get your ass to my office."

I sighed and got up. It's a good thing he came in and stopped me. I was going to ask God to make me thicker and have clear skin before I die.

I don't know about y'all but my face isn't at it's full potential right now. It's like I'm playing a game and I'm waiting to unlock a new skin.

"We'll be heading downtown for a meeting"

That's all he said as he walked out of his office. I took my notepad and swiftly walked behind him.

"Bye Aaron"

I said as I passed his desk. He waved at me and sent Noah a wink. Noah roughly grabbed my arm and started pulling me to his car. I tired to pry his hand of me but it was no use.

He only let go when we were in his car. My wrists was sore from all the pulling he was doing. I really wish I could backhand him right now.

"Why do you have to let Aaron know about your whereabouts?"

"Because I want to and he's my friend"

"Are you sure you guys are friends because you guys were seconds away from kissing at lunch today"

Maybe if your stalker ass didn't follow us into the restaurant you wouldn't have to witness that.

"Why do you care so much about what Aaron and I do?"

"Like I said you're mine"

He said it like it was no big deal. This is the second time he claimed me as his. Last time I check he didn't clap them cheeks or blow my back out.

"I'm not an object or possession. I don't belong to anybody"

In one swift motion he pulled me from my seat to his lap. His hands ran up my legs until they stopped on top of my glazed honey bun.

"You will be mine sooner or later. I always get what I want"

I aLWaYs gEt WhAt i WaNt. Man if this fool don't shut the hell up.

"We'll see about that sir"

I said in a low seductive voice. His hands went from my private area to my butt. He squeezed tightly as he looked me in my eyes.

We just stared at each other. His eyes captured mine for a split second before he started leaning in. His eyes closed as he got closer to me.

I brushed my lips against his causing him to pull me in even closer. The moment his lips started to move I moved away and went back to my seat. 

"What was that?"

"I'm just forgetting about what happened last time. I wouldn't want to repeat that stupid mistake again."

I said as I looked out of the window. The rest of the ride was silent. I could tell he was frustrated but that was none of my business.

I only come to work to make money and succeed.
