Chapter 8 Gotta talk sometime

I never wanted to wake up, this was the best dream I had ever had, and I had had some sweet ones since working for Randy. It was a simple dream at its best. We were lying together naked, his arms around me, his lips on mine. I just wanted to stay in that dreamland forever and ever. I would be happy if I got to stay where nothing was complicated or weird or a third thing that I hadn't figured out yet. Sadly with each breath the dream was fading and the world around me became clearer. The first thing to hit me was the smell of bacon, I lurrrrrrve bacon. I pried my eyes open to see Randy in the kitchen cooking, he certainly looked just as good as last night.

"Morning sunshine, how do you like your eggs?"

"No eggs, kill me. Coffee and bacon" It was too early to put words together so of course his puzzled look was expected. "I'm allergic to eggs boss"

He relaxed instantly "Coffee and bacon it is. There are some spare clothes on the chair for you, unless you want to wear that dress all day"

I was hoping to go home and change, clearly that wasn't allowed. Oh well, it wouldn't be that bad, would it? I got up and took the spare clothes and headed to the bathroom,

"Bacon and coffee are ready when you are"

"Thanks boss!"

A few moments later I came out wearing the purple t-shirt and blue shorts he laid out for me. I was not used to that much colour, it kinda hurt my eyes.

"I'm sorry there not black but it was all I could find" Randy said softly as I took a seat at the table with him. His eyes were still doing that probing thing, it was freaking me out a little. I wouldn't say a word, if he wanted to stare then I couldn't exactly tell him he wasn't allowed, they were his eyes.

"All good boss. You didn't have to make me breakfast"

He waved it aside "After everything you do for me, its the least I could do."

I took a bite of my bacon and seriously I had to keep the groan to myself, the man could cook some mean bacon. At the same time I wanted to stab the plate viciously, a good man who can cook, great family man, good business sense and smokin hot. The problem? He was my boss so he was off limits. That fucked me off so much my eyes narrowed.

"Ooh what did I forget, you suddenly went all evil" Randy teased making me blush and forget about the current evil thoughts.

"Nothin, I was just thinkin about what one of the guys said to me last night. I was kinda hoping that I could slap him but sadly no"

"Who was it? Perhaps I could fire him?"

"It doesn't matter now boss, just another thing to deal with"

It went quiet again, he had ran out of words and I was busy eating the almost orgasmic bacon.

"Raven I want to talk about last night" Randy said finally breaking the silence. I really didn't want to have this conversation, it could only end badly. Or maybe it could end how I wanted it too, yeah right. Thats a good one.

"Do we really have too?" I asked softly, it was so obvious which part he wanted to talk about. Or I could be wrong finally and he wanted to talk about the contracts.

"Yes we do" Randy said, his voice stern. Clearly nothing was going to stop what he wanted to say, gotta admit thats endearing. When Randy wanted you to listen, you listened. I put my fork down and looked at his face, bad move. It only reminded me what an awesome catch he was, an awesome catch to anyone but 'lil ol me.

"So whats up?"

He took a deep breath, determined to get this out. "I wanted to apologize if I made you uncomfortable. I know I said it wouldn't happen again and I'm truely sorry that it did. If you wish to resign I will completely understand though I won't let you go without a fight"

So thats what he thought, he thought that suddenly I was going to quit. I wasn't going to quit, despite the weirdness I loved working for him, I didn't want to stop. I badly wanted to tell him the truth, I wanted to tell him what I was feeling but I just couldn't do it. He had made it clear as day that the last two times were mistakes. And I was a silly girl with a school yard crush. As always I had to move on. Somehow I would.

"Boss I'm not goin to quit, I would miss it too much. Why don't we just move on from what happened? I'm sure we can both act like adults"

He let out a smile, was I insane for thinkin that it looked a little forced? Yes I am going crazy. "I'm very gad that you're not quitting on me, I seriously don't know how I'd get on without you"

"Well at least I know I'm liked"

Randy laughed as I got up and cleared my plate.

"So now what boss?"

"Now we go into work and work for six hours or until I get bored"

"Sounds like a plan"

"You go out and I'll be right there Raven"

I saluted him as I picked up my dress and rolled it into a little ball, I left my heels. Ally could have them for all I cared, I really didn't want that evil high heels that stopped me being that close in Randy's arms.

Randy quickly settled things in the house before he went out to his assistant, he badly wanted to tell her that he felt more, much more, for her. He was starting to see her as more and suddenly he couldn't picture his life without her in it. Randy pulled himself together and made himself a deal, if the next time they wound up kissing, he would finally stop being a coward and tell her how he felt, and if it went badly he could always fire her. That plan in mind he went out and joined Raven in the car, until that day came it was going to be hard to concentrate, hopefully he wouldn't have to sign any contracts anytime soon.
