“Sure sir, thank you,” she said. She got up then and headed into the bedroom.
The cabin was much quieter after she left, but I could visibly feel myself relax more, which was a good thing. The change, though, once again made me all the more curious about my unusual interest in her.
Chapter 10
Scarlett
It was awfully nice of him to offer his bedroom to me. I would have preferred to be a little more cool and not accept, but I was struggling way too much with sleep to in any way prioritize my pride. Accepting his offer was a less hard fight and so the moment I got into the space, I immediately collapsed on the bed.
I expected a big bed, I realized, after all, he was sure to get busy here sometimes, however, he probably despised how cramped the space would have been as a result so it was more or less slightly bigger than a single. It could contain two moderately sized people, but any more and someone would be tumbling to the floor.
I took a quick look around, realizing that the sheets looked quite unused, which made me wonder if he had just sat on the recliner by the side or if he had actually rested.
Regardless, I kicked my shoes off, opened up a few of my buttons, unclasped my bra from behind, and was about to fall asleep when I recalled that I still had my make-up on. Groaning, I got up again and headed out to retrieve my things. I started to head out however just as I pulled the door open, I stopped at thedoorway when I realized that he had on dark-rimmed glasses as he worked ever so diligently.
He looked quite different from earlier, and so I didn’t blame myself for taking a few seconds to admire him. He looked almost casual with the tails of his shirt now out of his dark slacks and a few buttons from the collar unbuttoned. The folded sleeves up his arms revealed glowing skin adhered with muscles and my heart couldn't help but race just a little bit faster at the sight.
Somehow his shoulders looked even broader than usual, and I couldn’t help but wonder just how I would fit in them. Shaking my head at the outrageous thought, and especially as he finally noticed my gaze, I turned away and continued on my way to the cabin.
I didn’t need to explain to him what I was doing there and he didn’t want an explanation either, so I focused on bringing down my luggage. However, it was quite heavy, so it was with much difficulty that it finally came down. This resulted in me turning around to catch my footing and as a result, I faced him fully, my grasp on the luggage. Our gazes met and then his eyes lowered down my body. I didn’t think anything of it and almost even sent him a smile in apology for distracting him from his work, but then when I felt the unusually cold air across my chest. I understood that I had unbuttoned my shirt. As I looked down, more than half of my cleavage was out, so I immediately shot up, my hand going to it. He gave me a look and then returned his attention to his work, and I felt like burying myself on the floor. Opening my luggage then, I grabbed my toilet essentials and was out of there in no time.
As I arrived at the bathroom, I closed my eyes and leaned my forehead against the mirror because there was no way he wouldn’t think I did that on purpose to taunt him. What else was the reason I would have stood before him in such a way?
I imagined he shook his head at the sight of me and it made me smack a hand against my forehead.
“It wasn't intentional. It wasn’t intentional,” I recited, but I couldn’t quite convince myself to go out, so I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called Sophie. She didn’t pick up. She was most probably asleep, of course, while I was losing every shred of dignity I had by the minute.
It did make me realize, though, that I was quite unhinged around him. I had started numerous new positions like this at the whim of a hat and had never had many problems adjusting or getting along with my bosses, but this time around, it was as though I just couldn’t find my bearings.
Me: I think I just showed your boss my boobs!
I hit send. I didn’t expect her to react instantly, but when her call started to come in, I knew I was in trouble and that she hadn’t been asleep.
“You ignored my call the first time?” I asked, and she went silent, unable to defend herself. “You brat,” I scolded. “It could have been an emergency.”
“Sorry,” she apologized. “Your adjusting has caused me more stress than relief today, so I was taking the time to decompress. Anyway, what do you mean by you just showed him your breasts? Is this an established condition between you two? Please end it, I’m begging you. I won’t be able to carry on with it if you start it.” Her words were quite peculiar to me.
“I know, I know,” I calmed her down. “Don’t overreact.”
“Oh no, I need to,” she said. “This is a freaking big deal.
“Just relax,” I told her. “It was a mistake, and I’m sure he doesn’t care.”
“Well…” she seemed more calm. “You have a point there.”
I rolled my eyes. “I’m happy you’re relieved, but I’m also offended.”
“Girl, where are you having this conversation?” She asked. “Can’t he hear you? The plane is not that big.”
“I realized then that she was right and lowered my voice.
“You’re right. Okay, I’m going back to bed.”
“Bed?” She shrieked, and I nearly had to pull the phone away from my ear.
“What is it?”
“Why are you in his bed?”
