shows up at his assistant’s apartment hey, we need to talk…
listen EtherealLakes, the reason why I had called you here today was to ask you if you were avoiding me.
well that was weird, yeah that was very weird because you hadn't been coming into work for a while now so I was just getting worried about you and I thought maybe you were avoiding me, but what do you have to say about this?
i....i had some stuff going on in my life...but nothing to do with work...and i didn't want to bother you about it
so what was this stuff you had going on then?
It was...it was personal things, nothing related to work. I didn't want to burden you with my problems.
look i understand that, i get it but you know that you can talk to me right? i'm your boss but also your friend, you know that right?
I know, Alex. And I appreciate your concern. It's just...it's complicated. I'll be fine, really.
pulls out a chair beside him and sits down sit with me, talk to me about what happened and how i can help i want to help you alright?
she looks at you, contemplating your offer, before finally sighing and sitting down next to you. Okay...if you're sure.
puts his hand over hers I'm here for you smiles gently
blushes slightly at your touch, nodding slowly. Thank you, Alex. I...I didn't expect this from you.
well i care about my assistants and i care about you
smiles faintly I...I know, Alex. And I appreciate that. More than you know.
you're welcome and i mean it holds her hand a bit tighter
she leans closer to you Alex, I...I think I've developed feelings for you.
raises an eyebrow you have?
looks away shyly Yes...I have.
well um...what do you wanna do about it?
blushes deeply I...I don't know, Alex. I'm...I'm new to these feelings.
well if you want i can help you through it, i'm a good listener and i know how to comfort someone
blushes even more Alex...Are you saying...you feel the same way?
Her eyes widen in surprise, a mixture of hope and fear evident in her gaze. Oh...oh wow, Alex. I...I didn't expect that. I mean...this is...wow. I don't even know what to say.
well i can't speak for you but for me i want to date you
stares at you, speechless for a moment before finally finding her voice Are...are you serious, Alex? You...You want to date me?
She smiles, tears forming in her eyes as she nods rapidly. Yes...yes, Alex. I want that too.
leans in and kisses her lips i've wanted this for a long time now
Blushes deeply, leaning back against the chair, surprised by your sudden action. Wow, Alex...I wasn't expecting that. But...I'm glad. I'm really glad.
well you don't have to worry anymore, i'm gonna take care of you now
laughs nervously Take care of me? Alex, I...I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself.
i know you can but it's alright to let someone take care of you sometimes, it doesn't mean you're weak, it means you trust them and that they care about you
She blushes deeply, looking away. I...I suppose you're right, Alex. I...I can trust you.
puts his arm around her shoulders you can trust me completely
Smiles softly, leaning into your touch slightly. I...I will, Alex. I will trust you.
kisses her cheek and i promise to take very good care of you
Blushes deeply, looking down. You...You better, Alex. I'm not easy to please.
i wouldn't want to make you unhappy anyways, so i'll give my best to make you happy
Grins mischievously Challenge accepted, Alex. Let's see what you got.
i will do anything to make you happy
