I could feel the warmth fill up my cheeks. I quickly covered my chest with my clipboard. I could feel my whole body start to freeze. I slammed the office door shut and leaned up against it.
Until i saw two beating eyes staring at me from her desk. Ari shot up and rushed over. She could tell something went wrong. Pulling my half paralyzed body into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
"What the hell happened?! Why are you so red? Did she smack you or something?!"
I could feel my heart thrashing against my rib cage. "She- she liked- my-my boobs."
Ari's face turned from complete panic to a smirk. I could tell she wanted to laugh. Her face wrinkled and she couldn't help it. "OH MY LORD!! Hahaha that is why your red. I thought something happened. For fuck's sake! Dude I thought this was serious!"
I groaned, "Ari it is serious! She said I have nice breasts! What am i supposed to do with her office right next to mine?!" I slowly sank to the floor, covering my face. "Ari I'm not lesbian! I like guys"
She looked at me, "Your face is telling me otherwise."
"No you don't get it. My brother is gay!"
Ari looked confused, "So? What does that have to do with anything."
Tears fell down my hot red cheeks. "They sent him to boarding school. I know im an adult but i love my parents. I don't want to be cast out of the family for something I can't help." My eyes were like Niagara Falls. Everything was blurry.
Ari bent down toward the floor. "Honey, you'll be fine. You love them and they love you. You can tell them when you're ready. It doesn't have to be for awhile. Just relax." She wiped the tears from my face and bopped me on the nose.
I sniffled, "Okay. Wait a sec..."
Ari helped me up, "Yes?"
"She's my boss! I can't like her, you know the rule."
Ari opened the bathroom door. "Honey you have loads of time come on we have work to do."
I slowly walked out and turned the corner. (3:30pm) Finally time to go home.
I started the ignition just like this morning. Although this time Ari sat next to me in the passengers seat of my convertible.
The elevator inched down to the bottom floor. The door slid open. My eyes went wide. Shock struck my entire body. My new boss Ms. Runway stood inside with her suit unbuttoned. Her button up shirt was completely open showing her sports bra.
Ari grabbed my arm dragging me into the elevator. Ms. Runway is anything wrong?"
She made eye contact with me as the sliding doors shut. "I'm fine just going to my new apartment."
She lives here!??!!! No way in god am i going to live by her!
They elevator door finally opened with a long drag.
She gestured her hand to let us go first. Then walked out herself.
She's on the same floor!!
I took the keys out of my pocket. She took out hers. She opened the door next to mine and walked inside like it was nothing.
I burst through my door falling onto the floor from trying to push it so hard.
Ari laughed, "Wow, she lives next to you! That's cool..." She crossed her arms and sat on the couch. She kicked her feet up onto the coffee table.
What am I supposed to do now?!
