She's The Boss

1.

5.30AM Friday

My alarm goes off, it's a gym day and I know my PT Trevor would not be happy with me if I missed a chest and core day even though my legs are aching from the work out on Wednesday. He is good though, makes me sweat, I have to keep me image in tack. I throw back my covers and head over to my built in closet and get out my gym shorts and t-shirt. My suit is all ready for the day and is hanging up so it doesn't get creased as I would hate a wrinkled shirt. Everyone does don't they.

"s**t, where's my gym bag" I say to my empty apartment, I love living by myself but all my friends are settling down either having kids or getting engaged. I do love my life I mean, I'm CEO of my own Real Estate Company and made my first million by the age of 30. I do work long hours though and past girlfriends have never liked that about me. They always felt my job meant more to me than they did. Anyway my mind is running away with me and I need to head to the gym before getting to the office for 7.30, there is this favour that I am doing for a friend I have to interview his Sister as she has finished her Masters Degree and is currently looking for a job.

I glance at my kitchen clock and slip my trainers on and grab my suit, gym bag and keys and head out. Luckily my gym is only round the corner from my apartment block. I walk through the door and are greeted by Julie the receptionist. "Good Morning Mr Forest" She smiles blushing "Mr Forest was my Father please call me Blake" I say swiping my gym card and heading for the changing rooms. As I walk away I know she is checking me out and fanning herself I have that effect on women, I am not proud of it, I mean I am just your average guy 6"2, brown hair, brown eyes and slight tan to my skin. I lock my stuff away and head out to the main floor to shake hands with Trevor. "Morning Boss Man" Trevor says with a smile I chuckle "Hey, your the boss of me I pay you" I say back. "Right lets start with a cardio warm up then on the chest fly then we are finishing up with press ups and plank see if you can beat your record of two minutes" He says checking my training card.

Half an hour into my session I can feel the sweat dripping into my eyes and I grab my towel and wipe my face. I want to take my sweaty t-shirt off but I won't, I grab my bottle of water and take a massive gulp. "Blake your form is looking good, I mean we've been training what six months? twice a week" Trevor says. "Yeah I say so" I reply moving to the mats and getting into the press up position. "Give me twenty press ups go" I count one, two, three and so on.

The hour is up and I head to the showers, feeling the buzz from this workout has set my mind for today. I go to my locker and grab shampoo, body wash and towel. A message just pops up from my best friend Jason. "Hey Blake mate, thanks again for sorting out an interview for Jasmine I owe you a beer for sure" Jason has been my best friend since school we went to University together and Jasmine is his Sister, I mean I have not seen her in I don't know how many years. The last time I saw Jasmine she was heading off to University herself and do accountancy degree. My c**k twitches at the slight image of Jasmine "cool it" I say in my mind and head of the showers.

I hate gym showers because blokes walking around butt naked not giving too hoots who is in the changing room, there is only so many p***s's you need to see in one morning. "Morning Forest" I nod in response pulling my boxers up under my towel making sure everything is in place, then trousers, my white shirt fixing my silver cufflinks and my favourite navy blue tie. I place my phone in my top breast pocket and lace up my shoes. I turn round grab my keys, wallet and gym bag and head out. I nod to the receptionist and push the door. I take my gym bag with me to the office because I cant be bothered to drop it off and then I head to my favourite coffee shop, I open the door and a tall, blonde woman, blue eyes like the ocean and great pair of t**s and full pair of lips not that I was looking walked out and said thank you. I watched her leave and she walked around the corner and disappeared. I shake my head and step inside and head up to the counter "mocha iced latte please" I say "name?" The teenager behind the counter asks. "Blake" I respond "Anything else?" "no thank you" I move down to the till. The drink arrives and I grab it beep my bank card and head out.

My car pulls up and I head in pulling the door closed, I put my head back and close my eyes and that blonde stranger comes to the front of my mind. The drive to my office is only half an hour, I open up my emails and look at my diary, I really need to get someone to take this headache off my hands of organising my day to day life. We arrive at the office building and my driver opens the door and I step out, I roll my shoulders it is a routine of mine. The suit makes me feel powerful, I mean I am in charge of 200 people. I work my employees hard I know that but real estate is a brutal business. "Good morning Blake" My receptionist Claire says smiling then goes back to speaking into her headset and transferring someone through to Bob in HR. I make my way to the lift and press floor ten where the conference room and my office is. I grab the interviewee folders. There are five candidates and Jasmine is part of the five, I take my seat at the head of the conference table and place my hands on the table and open up first folder. I press a button "Claire send the first one up please" I say into the intercom. "Yes Mr Blake" The first one knocks on the door "Come in" I look up and stand we shake hands she was nice, plain which might be a good thing as I do not need a distraction but there wasn't a click. I let out a sigh and rub my temples and stand and go to the window looking at the view in front of me. None of the four other women who came in for the interview gave me a feeling of we will get a long or a spark of any kind. A gentle knock makes me turn round, the woman from the coffee shop is standing at the door looking gorgeous and hot.

"Hello I'm Blake Forest" I say "Jasmine Howard, you know my Brother Jason" We shake hands "Jasmine I cannot believe it, I mean look at you" I smile and bring her in for a quick hug, I rarely smile but she smells gorgeous vanilla and blend of rose water I think. "Take a seat" She sits pulling her skirt down slightly to her knee and crosses her feet at the ankles and I sit down next to her. "you look good Blake" She says looking me up and down was she just checking me out, I lift a brow. "thank you but Jasmine you look amazing how have you been?" I ask sitting back I know I should be asking questions but I do not care about them at the moment. "University was an experience and I just completed my masters so you know University debts mount up" She pushes her hair behind her ear. "So you know Jasmine this position is for a personal assistant who will run my day to day things and organise my diary and so forth" I say. "That is one thing I remember about you Blake organisation was never your strong point" I laugh for real this time. "How is Jason?" I ask her. "He misses you but he is heading back this way, his latest relationship just broke down so he is feeling sorry for himself" I make a mental note to call Jason and have a real catch up. "So shall we begin?" I ask bringing forward to questions of the post but I know Jasmine has got the job and that means she will be working with me and I get to spend time with her my c**k twitches at the thought. "cool it" I say mentally. Jasmine tilts her head to the side like she knows what my mind is thinking. I clear my throat and begin with the first question making notes of her answer and we continue like this for fifteen minutes. The interview ends and to be honest I could talk to Jasmine all day and night in my office, in my bed both of us naked, god what is wrong with me. I'm so hard that I need to shift my trouser legs. We stand, shake hands and I place my hand on her lower back and walk her to the lift, She's blushing at my touch and I step into the lift with her and press the G button. We ride in silence then the doors open and we both step out. "Thank you Blake it was good to see you and don't forget call Jason" She smiles then walks out the front glass door and I watch her go, then turn back and head back into the lift and press my floor button.

I close my office door and slump in my chair and pull up my emails and send a quick fire email to Bob to write a letter of offering the job to Jasmine, I mean she is perfect for the role and my god what a perfect body she has from bottom to top. God this is going to be hard, "Mr Blake I have a Jason Howard on line 2" "That fine, put him through" "Okay Sir". "Blake my dear friend how the devil are you?" Jason voice come throughs my phone. "I am well my friend just interviewed your Sister" "Jasmine, did she interview well?" He asks "Very well it was good to see her actually and I can see her working here" I say "Blake thank you I owe you a beer or something but don't forget she is my sister so off-limits" He says How can I forget that we made a pact to not date each others sisters I mean my sister is gay so I have no worries there of Jason trying anything but the other way round is a different matter. I mean normally when I want something I get it including women. s**t!! "you there mate?" Jason voice brings me back. "Yeah sorry so drinks meet me at White Horse not far from my place Friday because I've got a s**t lot of work to do" Jason laughs "sure mate see you there" then he hangs up.

The day draws to a close and I did not get much done because of this f*****g pact I made when I was like 25 and Jasmine was 18. It's been ten years surely Jasmine can make up her own mind I mean I don't like office romances but I can't stop people dating or office loves, but I have caught people a number of times in the supply closet for sure or filing room. My car pulls up and I say good night to the security guard. I close my eyes and let the imagines of Jasmine come to the front of my mind and what I want to do with her. I am hard again god when was the last time I had f****d a woman? A month or so seems about right jeez I need to get laid or watch some p**n. The car arrives at my apartment building and I open the door, nod to the security guard and walk to the lift, pressing the penthouse button. Lucky my cook Mrs Jones made dinner for me and left it on the side for me to place in the microwave. I loosen my tie, drop my bag and pour myself a scotch with ice. I turn on my flat screen and onto some action movie. That's me for the night.
