Sophia Parker

I barely saw Mr Wilson today. He was in a meeting with the solar panel guy since 10:00am till 2:00pm and eventually left the office with him. He is really taking this solar energy thing seriously and I'm afraid he works too hard these days, considering he just came back from a tedious business trip.

He told me that he did not need my assistance during the meeting which was very unusual. He always requires my help when handling projects and these sort of things. I was bored and idle today and I couldn't wait for 5:00pm

Once it was 5pm, I packed my things quickly. I was tired of staying in my office.

I took the elevator down to Sean's office which was on the 4th floor. The building has 10 floors, me and Mr Wilson had our offices on the 9th floor. The 10th floor was a pent house which he never used anyway.

I knocked on Sean's door and he called out for me to come in.

"Sophia, you're on time." He smiled at me.

"Hey, I couldn't wait." I smiled back while looking around. "You have a nice office."

"Have you never been here before?" He asked.

"No, I hardly come over to the accounting department."

"Oh okay, give me a moment. I'm just gathering my things."

After he packed up his things we went towards the elevator.

"Adam left the office very early today, which is unusual." Sean said.

"I know, he went to do some work."

"What's he working on?" He asked.

"Solar Panels in the office."

"Oh really, that's a brilliant idea because it will reduce the offices energy cost. Then we don't need to pay so much bills for electricity."

"You're right, I actually didn't think of it that way. No wonder he's working so hard on this."

He laughed a bit. "Sophia, you should know that. Aren't you involved in this project?"

"Actually I'm not. Mr Wilson isn't involving me in on this one. He only asked for my opinion once but he said he doesn't need my assistance."

"Well, maybe he just needs to concentrate fully on this project. It seems important to him."

"Are you saying I'm a distraction?" I said in a fake pissed-off tone.

"No, no... well, sort of. You could be a distraction... but not in a bad way!" He was scratching the back of his head.

"In what way could I possibly be a distraction when I'm there to help him?!"

"Honestly Sophia, working with a beautiful woman like you is not that easy. If I were him I would be having trouble concentrating at work sometimes." He winked at me.

"You men are ridiculous!" I rolled my eyes at him.

The elevator doors finally opened and standing in front of it was Mr Wilson.

What was he doing here? I thought he had left the office, why did he come back?

"Adam."

"Sean."

What a weird way to greet each other. Like I said earlier, men are ridiculous.

Mr Wilson turned to me and I suddenly felt nervous.

"Sophia, I'm glad you're here. I was hoping I would meet up with you before you leave. I am going to the bank now and I need you to come with me."

"But the bank closes by 4 and it's already past 5!" I exclaimed.

"I have an appointment with a merchant bank not a commercial bank now stop whining and let's go! They close in 30 minutes!"

"I'm sorry, I can't come." I said.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm heading somewhere with Mr Edmund." I held on to Sean's arm, who stared at me looking confused.

"Where are you guys heading to?" He asked impatiently.

I knew he might freak out if he finds out I am going on a date with Sean but I don't care. I'm not into him anymore.

"Sean's taking me out." I said confidently.

His expression changed from angry to furious. He turned to Sean and if looks could kill, Sean would definitely be dead by now.

"Is this what you do behind my back? Date my employees?!"

"Why are you getting worked up about us going out on a date? It really is none of your business." I defended Sean and stepped in between the two men.

"Of course its my business!"

"How?!"

"You're both my employees!"

"So?!"

"So it is my business! And I do not approve the two of you going out!"

"You don't need to approve it. We can date anyone we want. The company has no policy on dating." I fired back. I was doing well until Sean interrupted.

"Sophia." He turned me around to face him. "It's okay. I don't want you to get into a fight with Adam. Listen to him okay?"

"But he's being mean!"

"Don't worry Sophia, for now go with Adam. We'll go another time."

"I do not approve another time!" Mr Wilson barked like a dog.

I wanted to turn back and give him a piece of my mind but Sean held me back.

"Come on Sophia. I know you're upset but promise me you would do what he says. Remember he's your boss."

"That's right!" I heard Mr Wilson call out from behind. I ignored him.

"Okay Sean." I accepted.

"I'll see you some other time." He said. Before he let me go, I hugged him and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Bye Sean." I said before I finally followed Mr Wilson. He was not only furious, he was boiling with jealousy. I have never seen him so outraged that his face was literally red.

Sean walked towards his car while Mr Wilson pulled me by my hand.

"Hey! Stop pulling, you're hurting me!" I tried to tell him but he didn't listen. When I hit his arm with my bag, he let go of me.

"Sophia! What is wrong with you!"

"You were hurting me!" I scolded him.

I walked past him towards his car and he followed behind me. We got in the car and the tension was severe. I folded my arms and looked out the window.

After a few minutes of driving, we both calmed down.

"So... what were you guys going to do?" He asked me and I could tell he genuinely wanted to know.

"We were going to watch Drunk Shakespeare at the Vineyard Theater."

"That's lame." He scoffed.

"It's not lame! You're just jealous."

"I'm not jealous. What's there to be jealous about?"

We had reached out destination and Mr Wilson parked the car. There was a huge parking space in front of the building and the car was parked right in front of it, almost at the entrance.

I got down angrily and began to walk inside. I didn't really want to be here right now. I wanted to be on my date.

"Sophia!" He called out behind me but I ignored him.

Before I knew it, he caught up to me. He held me by my wrist and pulled me towards him. I was surprised at his action. I was now facing him, our bodies slightly pressed up against each other.

"What is wrong with you?! You don't even know where you're going to! Why wouldn't you just wait for me?!"

"Let go of me!" I tried to struggle out of his hold but he only held me tighter, his two arms enclosing me around my waist.

"No, Sophia! I'm tired of you acting like this every fucking time!" He was serious. "Why are you making things difficult between us?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You know what I mean Sophia. You can't tell me you're not aware that something exists between us, but you're still going on a date with Sean! Are you serious? Is that how much you want to be in denial?"

I didn't know what to say to him. I just stared at him because a part of me knows that what he is saying might be true.

"And that kiss you gave him, was that even real or just to make me jealous? In case that was your plan then yes, it worked. I am jealous."

"But I didn't even kiss him on the lips!"

"I don't care! I kissed you first Sophia! I had my spot on the floor way before Sean and now your just going to give it to him? All because you refuse to admit that you feel something for me?"

I gasped at his last statement. How arrogant of him!

"You're wrong! I don't feel anything for you!" I tried wiggling away from him again but he only pulled me closer.

"Since you're so much in denial, I'm going to have to prove it to you." He said.

"What are you... hmm..." I was stopped mid-sentence when his lips came crashing down on mine. He was kissing me again! I tried to protest for a few seconds but it was no use. My eyes slowly closed and I relaxed into it.

He reduced his tight grip on my waist and began to hold me gently. His lips explored mine like he was telling me secrets he wasn't supposed to tell anyone.

There in the middle of the parking lot we both stood, tasting and exploring each other. Soon we were kissing like wild animals. His tongue stroked mine in a way that made me weak. I brought my arms to his neck holding him in case my knees give way. His hands explored my waist, bringing me closer to him if possible.

His kisses were doing so many things to my body that I couldn't help the moan that escaped my throat. I pressed myself further against him, wanting to feel every inch of his body. I had never felt so wanton before and I couldn't help it.

He paused for a while to get some air and we were both breathing heavily.

"Don't tell me you didn't feel that Sophia." He whispered into my ear. The sound of his voice was deep and hoarse which turned me on even more. What I felt was powerful! I wanted him so badly!

"I... I-" I was about to speak when we both heard a loud alarm coming from the building. We turned to see what was happening.

About four men wearing masks and dressed in all black came bursting out the door. They were holding bags in one hand and some had guns in the other.

There was a robbery going on all this while!

A black van showed up from nowhere and quickly pulled up in front of the building, close to where we were stood.

"Sophia stay calm and follow my lead, we have to go, these men are armed." He whispered to me trying not to get the men's attention.

We tried to hide without getting noticed but one of the men saw us. He pointed a gun toward our direction and my heart almost leapt out of my chest.

"Sophia get down!" Mr Wilson shouted at me but I was too shocked to do what he said.

In less than a second, Mr Wilson was in front of me, shielding me with his whole body. Then I heard the sound of a gun shot and he collapsed on the floor right in front of me.

"No!!!" I screamed.

The men got into the van and drove off at the speed of lightning.

I looked down at Mr Wilson. He wasn't moving. I dropped to my knees immediately. He was shot in his chest very close to his heart.

"Mr Wilson!!!" I called but he wasn't answering me. "Oh my god!!! Somebody help me!!!" I screamed at he top of my lungs.

People came rushing out of the building. Some came towards me.

"Help me please!!! He's not responding!!! Call an ambulance please!!!" I screamed and cried like a mad woman. Tears were rushing down my eyes. I couldn't believe what happened.

I cried as I held his unconscious face in my hands and hugged him close to my chest. I stayed in that position up until the ambulance came. They hurriedly carried him into the vehicle and took him to the nearest hospital uptown. I went along with them just to make sure he was okay.

All the while I couldn't stop crying.

In the hospital they had to carry out a minor operation to remove the bullet which was dangerously close to his heart. Thankfully they were successful. Mr Wilson still wasn't awake by the time they had finished treating him but at least he was okay. After a few hours of crying and waiting nervously, I was finally allowed to see him.

I walked into the room and saw him lying on the bed out cold. The sight made my eyes heavy with tears again. Things were about to be okay before the stupid robbery happened. We had just kissed and made up before the incident.

I wiped my tears and sat next to him. Seeing him like this made me realize how much I would miss him if he ever left me. He has been a part of my life for the past 2 years now, I can't imagine how it would be without him.

Instead of being with him, I keep fighting with him everyday and denying the way I really feel about him. How stupid could I be?

I think it's time I dropped the act for good. I can't keep wasting any more time. I have to take what I want before someone else gets it. With so many girls at his feet. I don't think Mr Wilson would wait around on me forever. I held his hand in mine looking at his face. He looked so peaceful.

Before I could stop myself, I leaned down and kissed his lips.

"Please don't leave me Adam Wilson." I whispered into his ear hoping he could hear me wherever he was.
