After the lunch, which Sam insisted to pay for us, he walked me back to the office. Before he went back to his room, he followed me to my desk and said, "Let me drive you home today, ok?" Then he kissed my cheek and went to his room.

I was totally surprised. Why was he doing that? I could see than he slightly ran to his room. I thought he was embarrassed after he did that. I secretly thanked that we went back to the office early so we were alone at that time.

After I overcame my surprise, I sat on my desk and resumed my work. I turned on my computer and started to brainstorm the main idea. But just as I grasped the idea, Santana Lopez, my co-workers that sat right next to me interrupted my daydreaming.

"So Quinn, how was it?" she asked with curiosity.

"How was what?" I tried to look confused even though I knew what she meant.

"Don't play dumb with me, Barbie. How was the lunch date with Ken?"

"Okay. First of all, I'm Quinn and he's Sam. Not Barbie and Ken. Second of all, it's just a boss and his employee having lunch together. Not a lunch date."

"Whatever. I don't care. But you're not answering me. Spill."

"Well, it was okay, I guess…"

"What did the two of you do?"

I rolled my eyes. "We ate and talk."

"That's it?"

"Yeah. I mean, that was what we supposed to do, right?"

"Oh please. When Sam walked in to the office this morning, he was blushing. I didn't know what happened earlier but the time I saw you walked in to the office with Brittany, I knew why. Then he asked you to meet him in his room, right? First timers. He usually gave that task to Finn. He only handled that when Finn didn't come. But Finn is here. So I knew, that Sam was up to something," she smirked.

"What do you mean?" I confused. Sam was blushing after he literally snapped at me when I bumped to him and dropped his portfolio? But why?

"Well, the first time he asked me to lunch was a year after I worked here and he asked Brittany to go with us. On the other hand, he asked you to have lunch alone with him! Tell me why it wasn't a lunch date."

"It wasn't a lunch date cause it was just a lunch."

"You can't answer me, can you? Quinn darling, seriously. I think you find yourself a new boyfriend on your first day at work."

"Okay. I seriously don't have any idea what are you talking about." I tried my best not to stammer. I also tried to hide my obviously blushed cheeks.

"See. You're blushing. Who paid the lunch?"

"He did."

"So it's a date then."

"He insisted, Santana. I couldn't really say no to him."

"He really likes you and I think you like him too."

I muttered, "I'm not…" but Santana wasn't buying it. She won't give up until I gave her an answer, will she?

"Quinn, let me make it easier for you. First, Sam asked you to lunch on your first 6 hours of work. A first timer. Second, he asked you to call him only Sam also on your first 6 hours of work. Another first timer. Third, don't think that I didn't see him kissed your cheek earlier. It's obvious that he likes you and you might like him too," she gave me a smile.

"I don't know. I mean, yeah, all of that happened on my first 6 hours of work. But I don't really know him though. I can't have feelings for him. He's my boss."

"You know what? Forget the fact that he's our boss. You're hot, he's hot. Both of you will make a cute couple. If I didn't love Brittany as much as I love my mother, I will definitely have crush on you. Or Sam."

"Wait. Brittany is your girlfriend?" I was really surprised though. Santana was Latina, she looks totally hot.

"Yup. It's been a year and it was like the best year of my life," she smiled as she said that. She must love Brittany so much.

"I must say that I'm surprised though but I can see that you love her so much."

"Don't worry. I'm used to people surprised at us. Well, that's not the point. The point is I think there's definitely something between the two of you."

"There's nothing between us. He's my boss. That's it."

"Fine. Deny as much as you want, Quinn. But I can't not see the sexual tension between you. Let's get back to work before Sam decided to get mad at his potentially new girlfriend," she ended the conversation with a smirk and went back to her desk.

I was getting back to my work too but there were constant interruptions from my other co-workers. They basically said the same thing with what Santana said earlier. I tried to explain everything to them, that there's nothing going on between Sam and I. But just like Santana, they're not buying it. They tried to dig more on what happen during what they called my lunch date with Sam. I just kept my mouth shut. Not long after that, they went back to resume their own work.

Well, I lied if I said I didn't feel anything for Sam. He's such a charming man. But I knew that I shouldn't have this kind of feeling for him. I'm not sure why he was blushing earlier or why he kissed my cheek. He's my boss and I'm his new employee who's been only working for less than 6 hours. If things are going to grow more than this, I knew that things are going to be really complicated. I decided to throw away all those thought and back to the Mother's Day project.

Since it's almost midnight here, I gotta say Happy New Year to all of you :) This chapter is kind of New Year's present for you. Thank you for reading. And I'm still waiting for your comment.

This story will come to an end soon. Maybe one or two more chapters. But don't worry. I already planned for a sequel. Actually, this story is based on a short-story of mine, and the sequel will be based on my novel-project.

Once again, Happy New Year :)
