Someone knocked, the door opened and Tyler entered. "Are you done with..."
“I jumped out of Jake’s lap and frowned at him, why did he do that? We only met today and he was acting like we have been friends for a long time. “Mr Moner, it’s not what it looks like, I am almost done with the files you…”
“It’s what it looks like sir.” Jake said winking at me. What was his issue? Does he have a death wish?
“No sir…”
“I don’t care whether it’s what it looks like or not. All I care about right now is that the files are ready soon. When you are done, please bring them to my office, and please make it sooner.” Tyler said and left without a second glance.
I turned towards Jake and gave him a glare. “What was that all for?”
“Please chill, before you go all feisty on me. I just thought Mr Moner likes you, even if he is rude to you sometimes. I saw the way he was looking at you in the morning, so I thought maybe I could get him jealous or something.”
“He doesn’t like me, don’t be ridiculous. You could see that he could care less when he saw me on your lap.” I said and shrugged.
“We can’t be sure, but I am sorry for making you uncomfortable with what I did.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. Just give me a head start later.” I went back to sit. “Now will you please help me finish these files?”
“Sure, I said I would.”
After I was done with the files, I went to the office and saw him sitting on the chair with a book on his face. That was new, I would say. “So we have a nerd on this floor.” I said and he immediately removed the book and threw it away.
“No, I wasn’t reading the book, I was searching for something.” Sure. He sat up, and I noticed that he was wearing glasses. Did I tell you I have the hots for men wearing glasses when reading? And this man is no exception, and not to help he is so handsome.
“Why are you still staring at me?” He asked, raising a brow.
“You look good in glasses.” I said out loud.
“Oh really?” He said with a smug smile. I face palmed myself, why do I keep embarrassing myself in front of him.
“Forget I said that, and these are the files.” I said and dropped it on the table.
“That’s impressive, can you please get me lunch."
"What do you want eat, sir?"
"Get me what you think I can eat.”

What would he like to eat? I kept asking myself before I got to the restaurant in the company. I smiled remembering what Tyler loved eating back in middle school. He usually eats macaroni and cheese with ketchup and chicken sauce. People always found it weird that he ate macaroni with ketchup. I hope he taste for food hasn’t changed because I wouldn’t go back downstairs to get him another food.
I entered the restaurant and ordered Tyler's food, as well as French fries and hot wings for myself. I also Coca-Cola for both of us since we both loved it and took it together back at elementary school. I frowned remembering how close they were then, but now they were distant.
I dropped my lunch on my table before knocking on Tyler's door. "Come in." He said in a husky tone.
I dropped his on the table and waited for a ‘thank you’. “Thanks.” There you go.
“You are welcome.”
"And you will have to meet me in the conference room by one o'clock on the dot, we have a meeting with the CEO's of some companies. I don’t want to come and remind you, only to see you and Mr Jones making out." He took the plastic bag and opened it. Before I could tell him there was nothing between Jake and I, I saw him smiling.
"You remembered my favorite food, Miss Winters. But it's been five years since we last saw each other." He looked up and met my gaze.
"Well..." I had nothing to say.
"Go and eat your lunch before it gets cold. And please stop staring at me, its indecent. I have a girlfriend."
"I was not staring at you, you are so arrogant."
"Just please, leave my office." He sighed.
"Gladly." I walked out of his office with a sigh too.
Tyler's Pov
"I was not staring at you, you are so arrogant."
"Just please, leave my office." I sighed. She was really distracting me with the way she looked today.
"Gladly." She said to my surprise and left. It’s funny how we went from best friends to acquaintance.
"Tyler, the meeting starts in five minutes." A familiar voice said and I looked up to see Melissa, my secretary smiling at me. What did she want again? I told her I was done with whatever we were doing, and I wasn’t attracted to her anymore. I had broken up with her a long time ago.
“I know that, and?”
‘Tyler, don’t you miss me? What we use to have in college?" She came closer to me and sat on my laps.
“I don’t miss anything Melissa, and get off my leg.” I was about pushing her off my laps when someone knocked and entered.
