Gayleb’s prompt

Every morning I walked to the cafe for my latte and a glimpse at him. I would sit next to the
window and sip my brew slowly just to have more time to look at him. Those black locks,
eyes green like a forest.
Ryan Decon, you work in the same office, the same job, same time you started working the
job, but somehow he gets the promotion first. Remembering the college you both went to,
you always got a better grade, but I guess jerk’s get the long end of the stick.
Tho he is a jerk, you still could not stop looking at those eyes. They do say “Eyes are the
mirror of the soul”, but I guess that’s not the case this time.
As he begins to leave, you quickly start sipping your coffee and going to work with him. You
two meet at the exit of the shop, and him trying to play a goodie-two-shoes opens the door
for you. Being kinda annoyed but delighted by that gesture you mutter “Thank you.” as you
can feel a smirk creeping up his face. You two go to your job.
Silently walking down the street he breaks the silence “I know you like me.” “What?!” you
stop walking, surprised by the said sentence. “Oh c’mon, don’t play dumb,” he says as he
keeps walking “I know you like me. You always did.” “Excuse me, but I do not like you. Why
would I ever like you?” you say as you try to catch up to him. “Oh stop messing, you always
liked bad ⁹boys.” “But now jerks.” “You find me a jerk, aw that’s a stab to the heart,” he says
as he smiles “But, just say it. Why deny it when it’s true.” You look down to the floor, thinking
that he is right, you do love him, “Alright, I do love you.” “Yeah, no shit.”
Lost in the current situation you didn’t even realize that you two already got to your firm.
Another day passes in work, you can just feel his stare looking at you. You didn’t want to
look anywhere else today except on your paperwork, minutes before you’re off of work, your
manager calls you, as you pick up your purse you think in yourself “What did I do now.”
You enter the room. To your surprise you see Ryan sitting in a chair next to the manager.
“You wanted to see me?” “Yes, sit down.” Ryan says ah he stops your manager just as he
wants to speak. “Well, Y/N, you’ve been doing good at your job, and we’ ve-” “Yes, yes, get
to the point.” Ryan says as he cuts off your manager “Yes, yes of course. I want to give a
promotion Y/N.” “A promotion?” You say in surprise “Yes, a promotion, you deserved it.” Your
manager says as you can see sweat coming down his neck “Congratulations Y/N,” Ryan
says as he stands up and holds out his hand for you go grab. You grab his hand and stand
up “Now,” he looks at his watch “Isn’t this the end of your shift?” “Yes, it is.” “Great! Let’s go
celebrate!” "Excuse me?!" "What?" He pulls you to the exit of the office "We need to
celebrate this." You start walking with him to the exit "Do we really need to?" "Of course we
do!" You both exit the building "Now, where should we go?" He lets go of your arm and look
arund the street. Then he looks back at you and smiles. "How about we visit my place." He
look like he had all of this pllaned. "I have some drinks there." "I'm not sure we should do
that." "Oh, hah, I wasn't asking." He grips your hip and starts walking whit you. You try to let
go but he is too strong.
