CHAPTER 2

The huge dilemma over which pants to wear, had made me late. Again.

It all started after having taken the bath that Levi had instructed me to. I had soaked my whole body in, scrubbing the skin on my arm until it became red. I didn't know why, but had suddenly felt important to make sure that I was absolutely clean.

I did not want to let my new boss down.

This left me with very little time to dress afterwards, which would normally be fine. I usually just threw something on before going out, but this had again seemed like something very important. Yesterday I had felt Levi stare at me, and not just an ordinary stare.

It had felt like he was undressing me with just his eyes, not even to mention the thoughts ... I swallowed a lump in my throat, and looked at the thight, black pants. They were my favorite pair, but ... I wasn't sure that I would be able to focus on work, if he kept looking at me like that.

Still ... The feeling kinda excited me. It gave me a feeling of power, as if I was in such position to have it.

I almost choked on my own laughter, as I reached out to grab a similar brown pair of pants.

What could go wrong?

"Take a seat,"

He didn't even look at me, when I came into his office. I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed when I sat down in front of him.

I had worked here for almost a week now, and it had become a ordinary routine for me to stay with my boss while I went through my tasks. It was the same forms I had to fill out, but that didn't make the day boring. My boss's daydreaming made it all worth it, and every day it got even worse.

Oh well, the good kind of worse.

"You know what to do," He mumbled, and I nodded even though I knew that he couldn't see it.

"Yes boss,"

My mind was already absorbed into the life of boring numbers, and the time flew by quicker than expected.

... Skin against skin ... Just the lightest touch made him whimper ...

I bit down on my bottom lip, as the thoughts flooded my entire head, filling me with emotions that wasn't really mine. The words merged and became pictures, and I had to close my eyes, not able to focus on work anymore.

It was as if I felt Levi touch my own skin, even though I knew that was far from true. How letting his delicate, small fingers run all over my body, and his lips ... Oh god, his lips. They were everywhere.

His moans became louder, and I did nothing to stop it, far from it. I let my tongue run over his nipple that have become hard, before letting my lips suck on them. I felt his body shaking of pleasure, and ...

Shit.

I opened my eyes, and as a reflex my hands automatically covered the part of my body that had suddenly chosen to wake up.

"Oh god..." When I spoke the words, I noticed how out of breath I had become, and it seemed like I wasn't the only one noticing.

"What is it?"

The older man looked directly at me, and I felt my cheeks blush.

"N-nothing, I ... I just need to take a leak," I mumbled the words nervously, as I felt how quickly the atmosphere had turned awkward. Did he know?

I forced myself to meet his eyes, a look that clearly showed how annoyed he was. But then again, he was always annoyed. As I looked more closely, I noticed how his eyes flickered, and how his own cheeks had a lighter shade of pink.

Yet, this could mean just about anything. Though, it was his thoughts to begin with ...

Christ. Was he just as turned on as I was?

"You just had a break," Was the only thing he said, before looking down at his papers again.

What?

I felt how I became a little annoyed myself. He was the one who made me feel this way, and yet showing no signs himself? He was the one with the filthy thoughts, not me!

I made me hands into fists, looking at him furiously. He looked up at me again, with a raised eyebrow, as if challenging me to do something. Anything.

I was just about to open my mouth, when he interrupted me.
"Don't fucking waste my time. Get back to work, brat."

My hands slowly became loose again, as if all anger had left my body. It didn't have, however I had just realised that I didn't stand a chance against Levi. He had the power, not me. He was the one in charge.

My superior.

"... Yes boss,"

His thoughts didn't return, thankfully, and instead I focused on dead puppies and my grandmothers wrinkles until the bulge in my pants had succesfully disappeared.

"Can I ... " His quick stare had silenced my sentence for a second. Just me, talking, seemed to irritate him today. "I was wondering if I could ... If I might be allowed to sit outside your office today?"

His eyebrow raised a centimeter or two. That was a bad sign.

"No,"

Silence. He had gone back to work immediately after rejecting me, but I couldn't give up so easily. I wouldn't. But my boss clearly couldn't listen to reason, so I had to try other methods.

It had been a couple of days after the incident, and I didn't want to relive that again.

"Boss ... Please,"

I took a step closer, biting my bottom lip. I looked at him with large eyes, looking rather desperate.

Damn brat. Why does he always have to look so ... so ...

It was clearly working. And how ironic. So ironic that I exploited his thoughts, when they where the ones that I was trying to escape from.

"Fine. Get out of here,"

He waved his hand, annoyed. I couldn't help myself from sending him a big smile, before walking out of the door with quick steps.

Is ... avoiding ... eh?

His thoughts became blurry already, and with a sigh I sat down at the table that stood furthest from Levi's office.

Finally peace and quiet.

Damn, my wife is going to freak out ... Did I forget to turn off the lights? ... Sandra looks really good today ... Where are my papers?

All the thoughts came like a storm, raveling my brain, making me groan annoyed. I put my hands onto my head, focusing on making all of them disappear from my head one by one. I succeeded, but first after a couple of minutes. It had become so easy to shut them all out.

I still remember the horrible memories as a kid, never understanding the difference between people talking and thinking. Sometimes, when I made a mistake, and answered a question they had asked in their own head, it freaked them out too much. I quickly became an outcast.

I sighed.

Thank god, we moved. My life would probably have been much different, if I still lived in a town, where I was only known as 'The Freak'.

I looked at the people around me, happy to just be able to ... Be there. Without knowing every little detail about their lives.

So ... Why was it different with Levi?

I bit my lip when I looked at the closed door, leading into his office. Why didn't I shut him out just like I did with everybody else?

There had been so many others before him, thinking about my body in disgusting, filthy ways ... They had made me want to puke.

But with Levi, it was somehow different. Was it because we were of the same gender? Because he was older? Because he was my superior?

Sure, it was nice to know that your boss didn't hate you as much as you first would have thought, but ... No, that wasn't it. It was something else. I just couldn't put my finger on it. But I knew that I wanted to find out.

One way or the other.
