Chapter 5 Weirdness continues

When I went into work the next day I was instantly greeted by that bitch Eve Torres. Eve was the kind of girl that was nice to your face while trying to figure out where to put the knife. I had met many women like her in my time and I had an effective way of handling them, a swift punch to the face usually does it, but this time I wouldn't be able to do that because I would most definately lose my job and that would just plain suck. Suck big time.

"Morning Raven, how are you?" Eve gave me a big smile, I could already see that knife twisting in her hands.

"Good and you?" I went straight to my office and grabbed all the work I could. I don't know why Randy insisted that at least once a month I took a day off. I don't think people understood how I worked, work to live and live to work. It sounded weird to many people but working was the one thing, the one thing I was good at. I needed it far more than it needed me but I didn't mind, my sister had drawing, I had work.

"Must be weird having Randy protecting you" Eve cooed in victory. I was just confused because the only thing protecting me now was Demon and my sister's death threats.

"He's not protectin me from anythin"

Eve rolled her pretty brown eyes, her smile widening because she had the facts and I was going to have to play her games in order to gain info. The only thing wrong with her theory so far was I didn't care, she could have her little secret.

"You don't know?"

Well duh! Or else I would said something by now, is it just me or are people getting dumber? Of course I couldn't exactly judge, just because I was blessed with an above average IQ, didn't mean everyone else was.

"Yeah I do know and I can safely say that it doesn't bother me" I said grabbing more papers and trying to resist the urge to punch her. She was turning a really great day into a bad one and that just sucked. So far the only thing that made it great was I hadn't heard or seen from Phil at all. After I took away his manly pride I really expected him to make good on his word but he hadn't so I was safe. For the meantime anyways.

"Of course you wouldn't mind your boss going over and telling your boyfriend to stay away from you. It means that if you get into Randy, he'll apoint you his sucessor, well I'm sorry to burst your little bubble Raven, but he's going to make me his sucessor and the first thing I'm going to do is fire you. I don't like freaks and there's no room for them in my company" Eve patted my shoulder before breezing from the room. All I heard was Randy had gone over to Phil's and warned him away. Explains alot if I think about it.

After I had grabbed all the work I could I went to his office, he was meant to be working but in reality he was playing card games on his laptop. I guess that was another part of my job, keep him focused. I tapped on the door frame making him look up at me.

"May I come in boss?" I usually didn't bother with manners unless I was at work which meant I was polite ninety percent of the time, I hated it but it was a small price to pay in order to perve, I mean, pay the bills.

"Sure can" He gave me that smile and rolled his shirt sleeves down, I hated that mainly because I couldn't see those muscled arms or beautiful tattoos. "What brings you in to see me? You only come in when I call"

"I wanted to talk to you about something, but I'm not sure if I should or if I do how long I'll have my job for" I started, I was really undecided of what I was doing. Should I just leave it and thank God that at least one person cared or should I ask him what the hell he was thinking. Maybe I couldn't take care of myself but I wasn't exactly a useless princess in a tower. Randy got up and shut the office door and for some weird reason he closed the binds. It was like he knew that I would want privacy for this conversation.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"I wanted to talk about you going over to my boyfriends house and warnin him away from me" It came out harsher than I intended and I wasn't looking forward to his response. Randy was a nice boss, when you were on his good side, however piss him off and he was very lethal. People had been fired for less than what I was doing right now. Seriously one guy, Mike Mizannan was fired for not answering a question right. It was illegal but somehow Randy got away with it.

"I won't apologize for protecting my staff" Randy shrugged at me, the weirdness of this whole situation was climbing ever higher, sadly I don't have telepathy, if I did I would know it was about to get alot weirder.

"How did you even know?"

He shrugged again "How else would you get bruising around your face? Your eye practically has his fist embedded in your skin"

"That could of been done by anything or anyone" I don't know why I wasn't letting this go. A hot man had come to defence and has officially freed me from that jerk, my father always said that my downfall was not letting things go, if he was here he would be shaking his head, telling me to stop. Sadly we weren't speaking, we hadn't spoken in several years. He disagreed with certain aspects of my life. Workin for Randy was one of them. Sorry back to the topic at hand.

"I was looking for the contract from Glen Jacobs on your desk and I knocked your clip off, when I picked it up I also pulled out your phone, and I read the text he sent you"

"You read my private texts?"

"Yes and I'm glad I did" He came over to me and gently stroked my face "How long has he been hurting you?"

"A while" I managed to breathe, his hands on my skin felt so good yet weird. This was an intimate touching and this was the first time he had ever done that.

"Well he won't hurt you anymore, not while I'm here"

I pulled away and went back to the defensive, this is where I may get fired. Who knows? Maybe Izzy would let me work with her. "Randy you had no right to do that. No right whats-so-ever" I was more surprised that I didn't shout or scream, it was just a normal spoken sentence, like whats the time, or hello.

"I will not apologize for protecting you. You do not deserve to be hurt by anyone." He stroked my face again, his thumb just gliding over my skin. "You are too special Raven."

And then he kissed me, no shit, his lips just pressed against mine in a kiss so sweet that I swear I now have diabetes. I pulled away, freaked out because the weird factor was off the charts.

"Raven" "I have to go" I quickly got the hell out of there because I really couldn't do anything else. I bolted from that office as though it was burning. Something was burning alright but it wasn't the building. I made it home in record time, I was running so fast that I may of broken a new record. In your face fastest runner in the world. When I got in I pushed the door shut and lent against it. Demon instantly came in and lapped my face, pushing him away gently I just kept sitting there. Why did he kiss me? WHY? Was it spur of the moment? Did he have some sort of secret love for me? Was this another part of being his PA? Did he expect more? Would I give him more in order to keep my job? Was this the reason that bitch Eve would take my job? She would put out. That I knew. I agonized so much that I wound up getting a massive headache. It was actually so bad that I doubted I would be at work tomorrow. Even I had to laugh at that, even if I was dying I would make it to work.
