My phone started vibrating. I looked at the jumping device and read the message. I got up, walked over to the door and knocked.
“Come in.”
I pushed the door to the side, walked inside and pulled the door closed behind me. “I received a message to call your girlfriend.”
“That’s correct.” Phillippe looked at his watch as he walked towards me. “According to my watch, we are officially off the clock.” He stopped in front of me. My heart began to race, and I felt that strange tingle I get when Phillippe and I are alone.
“That’s true. However, I have a report to complete for my boss.”
“Well, I’m exercising my authority.”
“Your authority?”
“Yes.” He slipped his hands around my waist, pulled me close and kissed my neck.
“Phillippe…” He moved his lips up my neck to my cheek. “Uhm…” He pulled me closer and covered my mouth with his. and I quickly gave in to his kiss. I slipped my hands around his neck and we stood in the middle of his office locked in a deep embrace. My mind drifted to the dream I had, and I quickly pulled back.
“What’s wrong?”
“I uhm, I really need to finish that report.” I started to walk away and he grabbed my hand.
“What’s going on?”
“Nothing. I just need to finish that report.”
He led me over to the sofa and we sat down. “Talk to me.”
“What do you want to know?”
He leaned back and his shocked look was apparent. “What do I want to know? I want to know why you’re acting so strange.”
“I’m not acting—”
“Gabriella, I know better. What’s going on?”
I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. I looked at him, trying to find the words to answer his question. “I uhm…I haven’t been sleeping well.”
“You haven’t?”
“No.”
“What’s going on? Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I’ve been having these dreams.”
“Dreams or nightmares?”
“Considering I’m not sleeping, I’d say they’re nightmares.”
“Come here.” He pulled me over onto his lap, rubbing my back. “Tell me what’s going on.”
I exhaled. “I’ve been having these dreams that are uhm…intense.”
