Fall For A Mafia

The Dilemma

Christina's POV

I had never been so lucky in my life. As if the universe was telling me to take this as a consolation prize for all the s**t I had been through. Okay maybe not that extreme but what would you call this? Aaron at my place of work in my office, with my boss? Fate?, luck?, favor?

The odds of ever seeing him again had been really small, and even though I had not stopped thinking about him since that day, I was ready to move on. There was no way to find him. I did not have his house address or phone number, or know where he worked. I did not also have his sister's number or address.

But as fate would have it, he was standing here looking as handsome and sexy as ever in his yellow t-shirt and dark blue pants, staring at me in shock mirroring the look on my face. It was obvious that we had both thought that we would never run into each other. This town was a really big place, and from his personality you could tell he was a very private person, so no social media.

I had not moved from my spot at the door. I was feeling so many emotions at the moment. Happiness that I was finally seeing him to make me remember everything that happened and that it was not a dream, nervous because my crush was here, shy and hot because I remembered how he touched me, and the things I told him to do. Scared and confused because he knew my boss apparently. Maybe this town was small after all.

"Tina? Are you okay?" It was the voice of my boss that pulled me out of my thoughts and prompted me to move from the door into the office.

" Hi Mac.. I'm.. I'm good, morning" I replied as I tried to prepare my self for the awkwardness already abundant in the room.

" Yea, morning. Are you sure you are okay though, you look like you could sit, you are all red in the face".. Mr Mac had always been one caring person but I wished right now that he would just ignore me, just this once.

I had not been able to glance in Aaron's direction since I entered. Should I say something? Was he going to say anything or just stand there. That feeling I had on Friday night was back again. The feeling of confusion. This man confused me a great deal. I did not know if he wanted something or if he wanted me to do something. Urghhh, it was frustrating.

Finally gathering the courage to break the silence, I decided to speak up, but I was cut short.

" I'm sure she's fine .. , it's really hot outside, I'm sure that's why she's red faced and all, right Christina?" He asked now looking at me and making that stupid sexy as hell smirk as we exchanged relaxed looks for the first time since I entered. The way he said my name made me think he did that on purpose, to make me deliberately remember, like I'll ever forget it.

" Right .. yeah the weather. Huu.. so hot.." I replied fanning myself, and come to think of it, I was really hot, but it had nothing to do with the weather.

My boss had a look of suspicion on his face like he wanted to ask something.

" Do you guys know each other?" Of course I was expecting this question from my boss, but I was not sure what to answer. What did Aaron want me to say? We were not really friends as we had just met, but he did touch me but we did not f**k so we could not be called f**k buddies. Aaah the tag confusion!

I looked in Aaron's direction to find his eyes already on me, it sent shivers down my spine once I felt his gaze again. He really was so hot. He used his eyes to tell me something but I was not getting it. He kept moving his eyes from me to my boss, I realized he wanted me to reply and I started doing the same thing, moving my eyes from him to my boss, it was a back and forth thing we were doing. I did not really know he was this playful, it was really nice and it made me feel all warm inside.

Completely forgetting that we were not the only ones in the room, my boss spoke up.

" Well..? Will someone say something?"

"Mr.."

"Look"

Myself and Aaron spoke up together. We stared at each other and smiled, I gave him the go ahead to speak saving me from having to lie.

" We met at a party, hung out, and that was it" He answered confidently, no shaky lips, no eye twitch, nothing. Wow!

" Oh Jack's party? Yea, sorry I could not make it. Send my apologies to Jack yeah." He replied as he faced Aaron now.

" And I did not know you went to clubs Tina. News to me" he continued as he faced me now.

"Yea, once in a while, really not a party person" I answered nervously. I could feel Aaron's eyes on me the whole time, and it was making me restless and butterflies were abundant in my lovestruck belly.

"Once in a while huh.. anyways safe trip big A. I'll call you yea? I think I should head out to my patients now" my boss said to Aaron as he packed his devices to enter the dentistry office. They both shook hands and my boss started going out.

" Tina you coming?" He turned back to ask me

" Yes, I'm right behind you" I replied even though I stood where I was.

He nodded and left the office leaving just Aaron and I. I had not turned to look at him, still facing my boss's desk, as I looked at my nails. I have not trimmed this beauties in a long time, I observed, doing anything to avoid his gaze.

"Aren't you going to look at me?" I looked up at him as he spoke.

" You look hot" s**t! Why did I say that? Why was that the first thing I could say to him?

Christ Tina, you are so dense!

" Umm I mean you look good, you always look good, I just ..

"Are you always this shy around people or I'm just lucky?" He asked now sitting on the desk with his hands folded,giving me that smirk again as he stared at me waiting for my response.

"Maybe it's just you.. or maybe not" I replied now giving him a smirk of my own as I imitated his style of sitting on the desk.

He laughed looking at his fingers full of rings of different varieties. They were really pretty and they really suited him. Wait.. were those nail polish on his fingers? This man's fingers were even neater than mine would ever be in 5 years.

" You are an interesting person Christina, I hardly meet those these days" he responded as he glanced at me, now full on smiling.

"You are a strange person Aaron, I hardly ever met one" I answered as I copied him with a smile on my face.

"So you are going on a trip?", I asked, remembering when Mr Mac had wished him a safe trip.

"Yea.. I have a thing to do for work"he answered as he bit his lower lip.

What did he do for work?

Why was he travelling?

When will he be back?

How long was he staying?

I had so many questions, but I feared if I ask them, he would run away. We were not that close yet. I still wanted him around. So I kept my questions to myself.

" Won't you ask me anything?" He asked after he noticed my silence.

" You normally have too much questions Christina" he continued as he turned to face me fully.

" I do have questions, but I fear that if I ask them, it would drive you away and you'll never speak to me again" this was the most I had been genuine about my feelings since meeting him. I was scared of how he would react, but I had to say it. I had to let him know that I wanted him around. I wanted him now, I'll want him in the next days, months, maybe years. I was like that with people I liked and clicked with. I never got bored with the people I liked.

Aaron had yet to respond. He just kept looking at me. I must have finally pushed him away. I must have!

" Why would you want me around, you don't even know me " He finally said now with no emotion in sight. His face was plain.

" Thats why I want to be around you, to get to know you, but at your pace of course. We had just met and even as that is scary, I am ready. I want to be your friend Aaron" I replied truthfully as I faced him fully.

" I can't be friends with you.. no I mean, f**k, we can't be friends Christina. Friends don't have erotic thoughts about each other, or have wet dreams about each other. Do you see why we can't be friends?" He explained calmly like he had not just ignited a fire in my body, in my head, my mind, my belly and between my legs. Did this mean he had erotic thoughts about me? Had wet dreams about me? Me? Christina? It could not be right?

" Well I'd be whatever you wanted me to be." I did not even know what I meant by that statement, I did not know if I was ready for such life changing decisions. I just knew that I wanted Aaron, and I'd have any one he gave me.

My statement must have ignited something in him because he stood up and walked to where I sat on the desk. He towered over me, as he looked down on me like I was his prey. His blue eyes had turned a shade darker which sent a message right from my head to between my legs. I was so wet and he had not even touched me. I was in trouble with this man.

" Be careful what you wish for, Christina" he replied as he pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"I would not reply to that statement until I get back from my work trip, I'll give you time to fully think about what you just said baby. I'll drop my number with you, once you are sure, do well to send me a message" he continued, his voice was now really deep and husky. What was he doing to me?

"I'm su.."

"Sshh. Send me the message after I leave alright" he cut me short as he removed his hands from my hair. My hair felt the absence Immediately.

" Now go meet my brother before he barges in here to see you panting. That is a sight I would want to reserve for my eyes alone" he continued as he stepped away from me, putting his hands into his side pockets.

Completely disregarding that he said my boss was his brother or his possessiveness over me which I found extremely hot, I jumped down from the desk adjusting my pants and fixing my hair. I had not even realized I was panting. Aaron just stood as he watched me with a smirk on his face.

" You said you'd give me your number" I asked in a whisper.

" Hand me your phone" he said as he stretched his right hand out.

I pulled the phone from my purse and gave it to him. Our fingers touched and there was that electric feeling again. As if he felt it too, he freezed with the phone on his outstretched hand. I was happy I was not the only one feeling this way. He came back to his senses and cleared his throat, glancing down to my phone, he began typing in something, presumably his number. He handed the phone over to me and smirked.

" There you have it… Make sure you think it through alright. I'll be waiting for your response" he said.

" Now go be a dentist baby" he smiled at me.

"Baby" I liked the sound of that. I was not ready to explain the way I felt when he called me that for the second time today.

I did not know whether to hug him or something, I simply smiled at him, he smiled back with his hands still in his pockets. I walked by him to the door. I paused and turned to look at his smiling face like I was not going to see him again. He looked and smelled like trouble, I had quite the decision to make.
