We truly did enjoy ourselves during lunch. I even forgot all about the morning drama at the office. I forgot that Edward was my boss, and I was his secretary; until we started making our way back to the office.

My hands were fidgeting with the hem of my skirt, and I was looking out the window, biting my lip nervously. Was this ethical? Me, being his secretary and his…what?

"What are you thinking, Bella?" I turned to look at him because it had been silent for a while and his random question startled me. It took me a while to process it, and because I processed the question, I processed my answer.

"Just thinking about how I will deal with Alice once I go back to the apartment." It wasn't really a lie, I had thought about it earlier. I swallowed and looked down at my hands.

"Were you really thinking about Alice, or was it something else?" I didn't answer just continued staring at my hands. "Something to do with the office gossip?" It sounded more like a statement than a question, but I answered anyway.

"Something to do with both." I still didn't look up from my hands and I heard him sigh. I felt the car come to a stop and I looked up to see we were at the office's parking lot already. He killed the engine.

We sat in silence for a few seconds. I went back to looking at my hands when I felt him place his hand lightly under my chin and turned me to face him. I kept my eyes down, he waited patiently. I couldn't look down forever with him holding my chin. I finally looked up and his eyes met mine. He had been so sweet lately, so…caring, that it made me forget he was even a tough boss at times.

"I don't want you to worry anymore. About anything." I opened my mouth to remind him about how bad the rumors were and how bad Alice could be, then he shushed me. Yes, shushed me. As in basically told me to be quiet with a sound. When he saw I wasn't going to open my mouth, he continued in a very intense and serious tone. "When we go in there, no one will stare at you. They will not be impolite, the will not pry. They won't gossip anymore, they will simply do their job. No one will speculate, at least not out loud or at the office." He paused and waited for me to have any kind of response.

I swallowed and nodded my head. I shouldn't make the gossip into such a big deal really. It just kind of offended me that I would be labeled as a slut for very innocent things. People could assume very bad things sometimes. It's scary.

"Now, about Alice." His faced lightened up and he smiled wickedly. "We could have some fun with that, don't you think?" I laughed at his bad boy smile. Way to lightened up the atmosphere and change the subject a bit.

"Alice is easier to handle when she things went her way." I said without thinking and he raised his eyebrows.

"She wanted us to sleep together?" he asked slowly.

"No! She just didn't want me to be alone anymore. She's been with Jasper for a while now. She thinks she's ditching me." I paused, considering. Oh well why not? "But it does make things much more interesting for her if she has a juicy story to listen to." I said teasingly. It worked because he laughed.

"Ready to go in?" My smile faltered a bit.

"As ready as I'll ever be." He smiled at me reassuringly then walked around the car to open my door while I panicked a bit inside the car.

He took my hand and led me to the elevator, then he ran his free hand through his tousled hair.

"But, maybe to be a bit more…professional, we should keep it professional once we exit the elevator." He said not really looking at me, probably hoping not to get me mad. I groaned and he turned to me.

"Does that mean I have to put up with grumpy Mr. I-need-my-sleep-Cullen?" He let out a laugh then trapped me on the elevator wall wearing a mischievous smile.

"Sometimes, yes. I think Mr. Cullen rather likes you though. He won't be too grumpy from now on." Then before I could answer he kissed me senseless. Since his hands were on the elevators wall trapping me against it. My hands made their way up his back from under his arms.

Before long, we heard the elevator beep and we jumped a mile away. Well, more like we jumped as far away from each other as the elevator would allow. I tried to fix my hair quickly and straighten my clothes. Edward ran a hand over his face just before the elevator doors opened.

I kind of still expected people's eyes to be glued on me, but when I looked everyone was very busy doing their job. It looked like Jasper talked to them. Edward gave me a knowing look, the we walked towards our offices. I was going to sit down by my desk when he cleared his throat.

"In my office please, Bella." His tone very professional. I followed him inside and I saw him close the blinds.

Without any warning, he attacked me. Literally. Hi pushed me against the wall and continued where we left off in the elevator. I felt his tongue on my bottom lip and I granted him entrance. I bit his upper lip and he groaned a bit while his hands reached my bottom and he picked me up. My legs went around his hips and then he moved papers off his desk with one hand while holding me with the other. He proceeded to sit me on it and hugged me tight against him. Then when we couldn't breathe we stopped.

We were both breathing hard, our chests keeping rhythm trying to calm down. I opened my eyes to find him staring at me.

"We'll be professional outside this office," he said slowly. The bad boy smile returned. "But I'll keep those damn blinds closed."

I was feeling mischievous myself. I hope you enjoyed Edward's bad boy side ;)

I shall update soon. Thank you for reading!
