She nodded as she continued to eat the donut. It was only her second day here, and I was already ready to cross hella boundaries. I had to get away from her before I did some shit that got me in trouble.
In my office, I sat down and watched Mycah for a few minutes while I sipped my coffee. Before I walked into creep status, I focused on the work I needed to do.
A little while later, I heard Mycah fighting with the copy machine and laughed. That thing would either work perfectly, then other times, it was trash. We could have gotten another one, but for some reason, we held on to that one.
I jumped out of my seat to go help Mycah before someone else did.
“You good?” I asked as I approached.
She bent down to pull out the drawers, and I had to step back before I got too close and ended up in some shit.
“I think a piece of paper is stuck, but I can’t get it.” I could hear the frustration in her voice.
“You mind if I help?” I slid my hands into my pockets because the urge to touch her in some way was strong.
“You can,” she called over her shoulder.
I leaned down to help her pull the paper out, and our fingers brushed against each other.
My heart galloped in my chest when I felt that spark. I needed to figure out what that was about because that was the fourth time that happened.
Mycah moved back, then stood to the side. I pulled the paper out and threw it in the trash.
“Sorry, this copier tends to mess up sometimes,” I said as I moved closer to her.
“Gotcha. Thanks for your help. I’ll have to be more careful next time.” She pushed her hair behind her ear.
She wore a skirt that stopped right above her knees with a shirt that buttoned up. On her wrist were gold bangles. I only knew what they were called because my sister wore them. Her hair hung down her back with loose curls in it. Standing so close to her, I got another whiff of her perfume, and it was intoxicating.
“No problem. I might have to see about getting a new one.”
“I can look for some and give you the prices,” she told me eagerly.
“That’s fine. Hey listen, the summer bash is coming up, and I would like it if you helped me plan it.”
I could have easily gotten a party planner, but I figured Mycah and I could do it. Like I told my brother, it would give me a chance to spend more time with her.
Mycah clapped her hands. Her bright smile lit up her face.
“I love planning things, so I’ll definitely help.”
I moved a little bit closer to her. It was still far enough to not look suspicious to anyone else watching, but close enough to feel her energy. The rise and fall of her chest let me know how much me being so close to her affected her.
Internally, I smiled by the way she reacted to me.
“Okay. Tomorrow after work, we can get started if you don’t have anything else to do.”
“Tomorrow is fine. I just need to let Cashmere out first, then maybe we can meet somewhere.”
“Cool. We’ll figure it out.” I glanced down at my watch, then back at her. “I have a meeting to get to, but I’ll be back. Again, let me know if you need anything at all.” I let my gaze travel the length of her body, and she licked her lips.
Yeah, doll baby was trying to get fucked, and it was only a matter of time before I made that shit happen.
I walked away, then went into my office. I had to calm my hormones down before I went into my meeting.
I couldn’t wait to spend time with Mycah and really learn about her. The next day couldn’t come fast enough.
“My. Mycah!”
