Brooklyn
I was woken up from a deep sleep by my cell phone ringing. When I answer it, Jules is coughing and wrenching.
“Jules, are you okay?” I say as I look at the clock. It’s 3 am.
“No, I think I’ve got food posing. I won’t be able to come to work today, I’m way too sick. I wanted to call to tell you that I have 4 manuscripts on my desk in my office. I need you to edit them and when you are finished take them up to the president so he can review them. His office is on the 5th floor.” She says in between vomiting.
“Okay, yeah I can do that. I hope you feel better Jules. If you need anything don’t hesitate to call.” I responded and hang up.
Well, it’s 3 am, but I’m already awake so I get up and fix breakfast. While I’m cooking my eggs, it hits me that the 5th floor is the floor that the mystery elevator guy got off of yesterday. Could he be the president? No way. That would make sense after I saw him yelling, insulting, and firing the receptionist yesterday. Only the president of the company would have the power to do that. I put my eggs on a plate and sit down at my breakfast nook. After I eat my breakfast, I go take a quick shower and apply my makeup and get dressed. When I reach the office door that has Jules’s name on it, I unlock the door and find the stack of manuscripts laying on her desk. I pick them up, lock the door back and then go back to my office. I’ve finished 3 of the 4 by lunch so I decide to go grab a quick bite. Jules told me about this great taco place down the street so I decided to try it out. I walked down the street and got my tacos to go. I took them back to my office and ate while I worked on the last manuscript. After an hour I was totally finished and I decided that I should go ahead and take the manuscripts to the president. I got in the elevator and pushed the number 5 button. I stood there patiently waiting for the doors to open and wondering how this would go. If the mystery elevator guy is the president, I’ve seen how he treats his employees. Is that how he treats Jules? Is that how he will treat me? The doors opened and I walked out of the elevator. I walked to the end of the long hallway to a sign that says “President”. I knock on the door.
“Come in.” Says a familiar voice.
I open the door and a tall, attractive man turns and looks at me. It’s him. It’s the mystery elevator guy.
“Um I’m I’m Brooklyn Jennings, I’m Jules’s intern.” I say nervously.
“Oh yes, Brooklyn, I’ve been expecting you.” The man says back.
I walk toward him and extend my hand out and give him the manuscripts. I turn to walk out.
“I’m Luca.” He says before I reach the door. I stop and turn around.
“We met in the elevator the other day, right?” He asks as he approaches me.
“Yeah yeah, I I think so.” I stutter. He is so close to me. I can almost feel him getting closer every second that passes.
He steps closer.
“I thought you were absolutely stunning.” He says confidently.
He steps even closer and extends his hand to touch my hip. I don’t do anything, I’m frozen. I don’t know what to do next.
“Ttthanks, um I need to go.” I say and remove his hand from my hip. I turn to walk away, but he pulls me back and pushes me against the wall.
“You don’t want to kiss me? Come on Brooklyn, I know you do.” He says confidently, his accent thick.
Of course I want to kiss him. He’s ridiculously attractive, but I have a boyfriend so I can’t, I can’t do that to Nathan.
“I I I ccan’t, I have a boyfriend.” I say quickly.
I push him away, turn around and storm out.
