Making Her Remember(TTS#1)
8

I groaned when I saw the amount of paper work on my desk and repeatedly banged my head on it.

After I told Brandon about my supposed boyfriend he left me without listening to any of my explanations and now here we are with him ignoring me for the last 1 week.

“What the hell are you doing Ember?” the reason for my state asked. He was dressed in his usual attire, a grey suit with a white shirt.

He looked edible but I couldn’t say that to him because:

1. I asked for space.

2. He is still angry at me for not telling about my boy friend, and

3. Because now I am angry at him for giving me ton of shit to do.

“And you care because?” I bit back and he frowned but didn’t say anything and went to go sit at his chair and started working on his desk.

After 10 seconds I groaned again and said, “Look, I am sorry okay? I know I should have told you about him but he is not important.”

He tsked and answered, “Yeah, coming from a girl who accused me of having an affair with my own sister.” My cheeks felt heated and I knew that they were red from embarrassment.

“I am sorry, I didn’t know about you and your family. How many times do I have to tell you?” I shouted and got up from my seat to walk towards his desk and slammed my hands on it.

He didn’t even flinch.

He sighed. “Fine, go on tell me of your excuses of how he is not important.” he spat.

I opened my mouth to tell him off when the office door opened and in came the most sexy woman on the planet. Correction, the whole universe.

She was wearing a white crop top with red short-shorts like you could see her ass in it. Her hair was ginger and she had bright red lipstick with a ton of makeup on her face which didn’t even look much. Also she was wearing white killer heels.

“Hey Brandon. Long time no see.” she said and rushed to Brandon and kissed him on his cheeks, leaving a red lip mark as if staking her claim.

“Hey Bunny. What are you doing here?” he asked and looked between both of us with a nervous look on his face.

“I just came here to collect that favour you owe me.” she said in a seductive tone and looped her arm around his neck.

I cleared my throat and she gave me a death glare.

“I-uh-I guess I should go.” I said, willing my tears to stay.

I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I practically ran from there and took the elevator to the roof. Before it was going to close I saw Brandon running towards me. I gave him a sad smile but didn’t stop the elevator’s doors to close.

There is a very pretty roof-top garden there. It has 2 grey cushioned chairs and a 3-seater orange sofa with a glass table in the middle and different types of plants surrounding it.

Soon the elevator opened with a ding and I got out to sit on one of the sofas there and let the tears flow freely. I just have to remind myself that these fucking Cinderella stories are not true.

I don’t know how much time had passed but when I looked around, the sun was setting.

I got up and turned around only to find Brandon standing there, huffing and puffing, with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. His tie was loosened and his hair looked disheveled.

Did I tell you that there are like 70 floors in this building? And we were working at the third?

Well, from his looks, he walked all the 67 floors or ran. I am not quite sure.

“I am sorry, Sir. It was not professional of me to storm out of the office. I promise I won’t do it again.” I say, with hard eyes. My tears have dried long ago.

“You… Sorry it took me too long. I didn’t know that people were so weird when they see their boss.” he chuckled darkly and came closer to me.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Richard?” he asked, still trying to catch his breath.

“I am sorry sir but I don’t think we should be discussing my personal life. I am sure my time away has caused a lot of loss in the economic trade of the company.” I reply with a professional tone again.

“Fuck, Ember. What you saw was nothing as it seemed. He-she had a gender transplant. Bunny is just a business friend and he-ughh-she likes men. She only came because she liked one of my employees and wanted help with that.” he explained, struggling to remember her gender.

I was inwardly very happy.

Ha ha, Suck it bitch!

But I still gazed at him with cold eyes. After a few minutes of us staring I sighed and looked away.

I walked past him, trying to go back to work but he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him, which made me stumble and my hands landed on his shoulders. And what broad and hard shoulders he has. I could feel it all day and every day.

His warm breath was fanning my face, making it extremely hard to think.

“If I remember correctly you have a weakness which can make you speak.” he said and smirked. “Sorry but you are wrong, Mr. Brandon Reed. I don’t have a weakness. I am not even ticklish and no form of pain works on me.” I said, keeping my ground.

Well, I am not but I have this one place where I get very ticklish. My area near my spinal cord… I know it is absurd but it is true.

“Oh really? So if I do this,” he moves his hands down my spine and I refrain myself from giggling or laughing. “,you won’t be affected?”

He does this again and this time I couldn’t help myself from keeping the laughter inside me. I start to laugh and shriek and he was giving me a smile of his own.

“O-Okay Okay, s-stop.” I say in between breathes and he stops, still holding me by my waist.

“Well, he is not my boyfriend, from my side at least.” I say and he gives me a confused look.

“Let’s sit and talk.”

We both sat on a double seater sofa and I began, “We meet three years ago in a frat party in my college. We hit it off pretty quickly. He was all sweet and caring. He practically showered me with gifts and love until I caught him multiple times with other girls.

It was our 1 year anniversary and I was very excited when suddenly I got a call from him saying that he was held back in work and wouldn’t be able to come. That time I worked in a coffee shop and was locking it to go home when I saw him going in a very fancy restaurant right in front of the shop with a girl on his arm.

He turned and looked at my betrayed face and I ran from him. He kept calling after me but I didn’t respond and locked myself in my house. I told him that I wanted to break-up but he decided to be violent about it.

It was thanks to my self-defence classes that I handed his ass to him multiple times but he wouldn’t freaking leave me.”

“Umm, Ember, I know this gonna sound awkward and weird but why aren’t you crying now? I mean, you just relived that and mostly girls cry when they tell about these things.” he asked and I just smiled and walked over to his side to sit down near him.

“Why? Want me to cry on your shoulder?” I wiggled my eyebrows at him and we both chuckled. “But that’s what I am trying to tell you. I don’t have any feeling for him. Maybe at some point I did but not now. So no reason for me crying over him. I only have feelings for you. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.” I replied and he engulfed me in his big arms and hugged me, very tightly may I add.

“Oh, B-Brandon. C-Can’t breath.” I got out and he pulled away.

“Oh, shit. Sorry again.” he said, blushing and rubbing his neck.

That is so adorable, so I moved in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Now it was my turn to blush and look away and for him to look at me, wide-eyed.

I knew what was coming next so I quickly got up before he had a chance to grab me and make us camp out here, tonight.

I cleared my throat and said, “We should go. Other people would think differently.” But like always he had a mind of his own and pulled me to him again, but this time we were a breath away from each other, which soon diminished as he swoop down and took my lips in a slow, sensual kiss.

When we pulled back from each other I blushed and hid my face in his chest to which he just laughed and to be honest, it was my favourite sound now. It was so deep and rich. It sent shivers up my spine and I held on his torso tighter.

We stood in that embrace for quite some time, him playing with my hairs and me taking in his manly scent. He was slowly moving us to an unknown rhythm, which I enjoyed very much. And just like that all my worries and fears went away. I didn’t get any visions after that.

Or so I thought…
