~The Boss and Me~6

Chapter 6

At the end of the party I stood at the door to greet everyone. When the last person left I decided to stay behind and clean up. As I turned around I looked straight into Alex. "Congratulations Kylie, the party turned out to be a major success."
Whoa! Did he just give me a compliment? And he actually called me by my name. That’s not normal. "I tried my best" I said not knowing how to act. It was a little weird, yesterday we had a fight and now he’s complimenting me. I’ll just treat him professionally. I’ll be friendly, but not to nice and I’ll try not to argue with him. Unless he starts accusing me, I won’t stand back and I’m not going to let him treat me like that again.

I started collecting empty wine bottles and through them in the garbage bag when he took the bag from me. "Let me do it. You’ve done enough, you must be tiered"
"It’s okay. I’ve got nothing better to do so I might as well clean up."
"If you really want to, at least let me help you."
"Okay"
After picking up all the garbage, collecting the glasses and storing the tables, we were exhausted. I collapsed on the floor right where I was standing. Alex looked at me confused. What? I asked. "It’s not everyday I get a chance to see a Lady actually sitting on the floor." "What? It’s not like its super natural or something." "Yeah, but woman normally like to be classy. Not that you’re not, it’s just that…"

"I understand." I said laughing and standing up. "I’m glad you didn’t take that seriously." "Oh you have to do more than that to get me feeling bad about my self."
"We can start locking up now, it seems like we’re done"
"Yap…"
"Can I take you home or…"
"That would be nice; I’m a little tiered after cleaning up."

"You can go ahead. I’ll lock up."
I walked down to his car and got in; he soon arrived and drove off to my apartment. As he stopped he got out and opened my door for me. "Thank you." I said smiling. I walked up to my door and he followed. "I just want to make sure you get in safe."
"Thanks, that’s really kind of you. I’ll see you on Monday."
"Yeah. Enjoy you’re night."
"You too. Goodbye." He smiled and walked to his car. I closed my door and went to lie down on my bed. I felt really good. I proved myself to Alex and he was actually very nice to me. I’m glad he changed his mind.

Alex’s pov

I don’t know what came over me tonight. I think I’m starting to like Kylie; as a friend of course. She seems nice.

I woke up on Friday morning and looked out the window. This is so weird, I usually only wake up after the alarm went off. I turned around to look at the time. "Oh no!" I jumped out off bed and rushed to my closet. I can’t believe it, my alarm never went off. I only had seven minutes to get to work. Alex is going to kill me. I rushed out, got in my car and sped off. I arrived only two minutes later. I ran up the stairs as I got to the top I ran straight into Kyle and we both landed on the floor. "Ouch" "I’m so sorry, I was in a hurry and I couldn’t stop fast enough." I heard someone laughing and turned around, it was Alex. "Good morning." "Morning." I said a little embarrassed. "Kylie can you please meet me in my office." "Okay." He closed the door behind me and asked me to take a seat.

I sat down and waited for him to start talking. "I was wondering if you could help me with these journals today, it’s quite a lot and I want to get it done as soon as possible." "Sure, nom problem." "You can stay here in my office, it will make things easier." He handed me some of the work and we immediately started working on it. We lost track of time and later realized that it was already eight o’clock. "Wow the time went by really fast, we better wrap things up here. Can I ask you a huge favor Kylie?" "Any time." "Will you mind to come in tomorrow. I know its Saturday, but I really want to finish these." "I’ll be here."

When I arrived at home, I called Ally to cancel our appointment for tomorrow.
"You have to work on Saturday?" "Yeah I’m so sorry, but I promise we’ll see each other on Sunday." "Okay then. I’ll see you on Sunday."

As I was about to lock my apartment I noticed Alex getting out off his car and walking towards me. What on earth was he doing here? "Hey?" "Hey Kylie. I was on my way to work and thought I could pick you up." "Thanks, I appreciate it."

We worked until about three and Alex offered to take me home again. We said our goodbyes and I decided to call Ally. I needed to get out and do something after all that work.
