The bosses door had been closed all day. She was getting increasingly nervous as everyone began preparing to leave. He’d been cordial, but no more than to everyone else, and acted like nothing had happened. And she couldn’t tell if it was because they were at work, or because he genuinely didn’t care. Didn’t know if her impulsive actions had put him off.
When he stuck his head around the door and looked at her, something eased in her chest.
“Could you stay behind a sec?” He asked quietly.
“Of course, sir.”
He gestured her into his office. She stood there as he gathered his things. As soon as the last person has left, she was pressed against the door, his lips against hers and his hands in her hair. They kiss deeply, lingeringly, until they eventually had to come up for air.
He pulled away. “So, I’m free now… If you still want that date?” He grinned.
Half an hour later, they entered a quiet bar. He paid for her drink, despite her protests, and they found an empty corner, partly out of sight of the other patrons.
