“That stupid, unintelligible, idiotic son of a fracking mother of a dog!!”

I just stepped out of Hunter’s office after a brief discussion we had.

He wants to get to a man’s head and overrule his business but rather than talk it out like a normal business man with a fraction of brain would do, he set me up on a date with him!

Without my damn consent!!

I should go out with him to liase as a woman because he believes women were Mr Luigi’s weak spot.

Now, currently I’m in my office venting out my anger on an innocent pile of files which I just shoved into the cabinet.

Apparently these files too had a death wish as a few came scattering over the floor.

” Screw this job, screw that man!.. fuck.. screw New York!!” I was busy muttering to my slightly deranged self and squatting to pick up the files that I hadn’t noticed someone was leaning by my door.

” If I was to swear about the rate percentage of your knowledge on colourful words, I would have gone for a three percent over a hundred”

I peeped and caught a sight of Mason in a black and grey pieced suit.

His smile evident on his face as he watched me and I blushed at being caught.

” How long have you been standing there?” My voice came out squeaky. I stood from my crouched position after gathering up the files.

” Long enough to know that Hunter got on your wrong side earlier. I was about going in to meet him when you stormed out and left your office door ajar” he takes graceful steps to where I was and gently pries the papers from my threatening hold.

I hadn’t even realized that I was squeezing the life out of them.

” Sorry you had to see that ” In my process of ranting, my bun had come stray in a few ways and I seized the opportunity to arrange the lost strands.

” I don’t think I feel remorse about hearing you refer to someone as a son of a fracking mother of a dog” He smiled and slides the documents collected from me into the cabinet.

I bit my lip to suppress a laughter that almost escaped and I’m pretty sure my attempts were obvious.

Mason chuckled at my act and uses his thumb to retract my bottom lip from the brace it was in.

” I think watching you banter to yourself is cute” His eyes still trained on my lips and his palm straddling my right cheek. If it was possible, I definitely blushed harder.

” You don’t have any appointments with him today. Or do you? I may have forgotten” My current brain condition is not one for remembrance.

He laughed again and I had the blessed opportunity of having a good look at him.

Mason should definitely be between the ages of twenty eight to thirty, but it’s like his body stopped growing at the age of twenty three.

Talk about aging gracefully.

His blue eyes and blonde hair were his catching features, but the way his right brow lifted whenever he asked a question was becoming one of my favorite pictures.

His full pink lips spread apart to expose a set of perfectly arranged, white teeth.

He was taller than me by a complete head and I really liked it. It gave me that aura of someone who can be your support and protection.

His leanly built body was a lot more tempting presently in his suit and I am suddenly having a crave to go in for a hug.

That wouldn’t hurt right?

” No, I don’t have an appointment with Hunter, but do I also need an appointment to see you?” He smirked and dropped his warm hand from my face.

I miss it already.

He’s here to see me?

BITCH MODE ACTIVATED…..

” well since you asked, yes you do” I whipped around and stylishly took a seat on my desk.

” Seriously?” His brows lifted again.

He should really ask questions more often.

” Do I look like I’m joking?” I cross my arms and try to put on a fake menace look meanwhile deep down I have a bad case of butterfly zoo-nosis.

” I wasn’t informed ” He took four light steps and was directly in my front with no stress.

Curse tall people.

” Now you know, and I’m a very busy lady. So if you’d kindly try again later and be sure to book an appointment then” I was managing this font perfectly but I began to doubt it when he placed his hands on my both sides and leaned into my face.

” I have to book an appointment even if I just came to ask you out on a date with me?” His gaze drops to my lips for a complete second before matching my eyes.

A date!?

No.. This is bad. Hunter warned against it.

And since when have you been someone to listen to Hunter?

Good point, but Mr Brooks?

Will never find out.

Since when do I have such a coercive mind?

Since the moment your brain shut down due to his proximity.

So it’s settled, my brain isn’t functioning then.

” You want to take me on a date?” My voice airy and soft. And for some reason, I like it.

” Yeah, if you want ” He shrugged and looked at my face expectantly.

If I want. And I really do want to.

Hunter gets to go out with Michelle and because of that I can’t go out with Mason?

What’s the word I’m looking for again?

Screw that son of a fracking mother of a dog!

Okay that’s more than a word.

” Sure, I’d love to ” I smiled at him and his expression mirrored mine.

” After knowing you for a while, I feel defeated that I actually do not have your phone number ” His voice dropped to a tone that should be illegal enough to send a juvenile to prison.

” You never asked ” The words almost didn’t come out from my lips but I’m still strong.

” Can I ask now?” That brow again.

” If you want ” I shrugged and we both laughed at my imitation of him.

” Jules, can you do me the honours of giving me your contact info?” He extends his smartphone to me.

I laughed once more before collecting the silver device and pressing my digits into it.

” Here” I bite my lower lip again and hand him back his phone.

He takes it back but doesn’t take his eyes off me. If someone’s eyes could set your body on fire, I would be in ashes.

” You would really want to stop biting your lip around me ” He softly released my lip again.

” Why?”

Am I really asking why? Do I want to know?Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn’t give me answers with words, he only began to lean into my face and I think I understand where this is headed.

I leaned in too and our noses were touching.

Just a little more distance and…

” I don’t think so”

That beast!

Mason and I pull away to see Hunter by my open office door.

I really need to remember to always shut the door.

Then again a door has never stopped him.

” I will respect it Mason if you limited your stay around my secretary for her efficiency ” Hunter practically glared at me even though his words were for Mason.

Mason cleared his throat and spoke up.

” Efficiency? I see. Anything else?” He crossed his biceps over his chest.

” Yes. I’d also like for you to leave ” Hunter spat almost angrily but Mason being who he is decided to let it be.

Not without sending me a wink though.

Then he walks out leaving only Hunter and I.

I angrily get off my table and get seated on my chair.

” You don’t learn do you?” He technically growled at me.

But I didn’t want to reply, I was already too angry at him to say anything rationally.

Sensing my decision to shun, he slammed my door shut and I heard marching steps retreat.
