ride home with my new boss

He cleared his throat! He caught me.

Shit! God no!

You just got caught staring. Very well done! I patted my back.

"Hello, sir. I am sorry we are closing." I smiled apologetically gaining my voice that almost came out squeaky.

He frowned before he shook his head. "No actually.."

"Sir, The restaurant has been closed. We are just cleaning up." I tried to assert so the man can go back from where he came from although that was the last thing I wanted

The man was so soothing to the eyes. I just wanted to look at him and enjoy his sharp green eyes that were now penetrating through my soul.

"What's your name cara?"

"Sir please we are closed.." He cut me off.

"Miss we are closed, if you are done can you please ask Brena to come here?" He stated amused and I frowned.

Was he Brena's son? Came here to take her out? Or was he her boyfriend although she looked too sweet for his salty ass.

"Uh, I did not know you were related to Brena. I'll just get her for you right away." As I spoke snd turned to go call her, we heard shuffling and Brena walked out of the pantry.

"Oh, Boss. you are here. I handled here just fine. You did not need to come." She wiped her hands on her apron as she spoke and I stood there gobsmacked.

"Boss?" I whisper hissed to her and she happened to realize my presence.

"And yes, she is Dossam Hangman our new waitress." She politely introduced and I noticed the boss raking his eyes all over my body.

Holy hell.

"And Dossam, He is our Boss, Mr. Jack." She gestured to the man and I just couldn't help but smile embarrassingly. Way to go Doss.

You just shooed your BOSS away on the very first day of your job!

Well done. My subconsciousness patted my shoulder in mock enthusiasm.

"I see. Nice to meet you Ms. Hangman." He smiled that stunning smile of his and if not for my subconsciousness stopping me, I would have swooned over that cunningly handsome man.

Jack. Nice.

God. Just how much of an ass I was for eye raping my boss. BOSS!

Please save me, god.

This is so embarrassing. It wasn't long as they both left me at the counter to discuss today and I just got back to cleaning.

I needed to head home and tell mom about my job before she kicks me out even before I get myself a place.

As Brena and the others left for home, I was the only one remaining, getting my things from the backroom, I clocked out as well.

Now at this time of the night, I needed a ride. I was about to call an Uber when I heard footsteps and found Jack locking the place.

I saw him move smoothly as he concentrated on getting the task at hand done. His swift moves had me bound as I couldn't stop staring at him.

"Where do you live?" He asked.

"Uphill boss." I pointed in the direction where my house came from.

"Do you need a ride home Cara?" I heard his melodious voice speaking to me and I just wanted to swoon once again.

Just how much hot he was! f*****g hell.

"I am just calling an Uber." I flashed my phone to him and he nodded.

"I can drop you if you want." He offered and I smiled at his gentlemanliness.

God. He was hot and nice too.

A perfect gentleman. I am so lucky to be working under him. Yeesh.

"No thanks, boss. I'll just call one." As much as I would have loved going with him, I could not bother him with dropping me so far. Also, if anyone from my family sees me with him, getting down from an unknown man's car, they'll skin me alive.

"I insist Ms. Dossam. Plus it's late and I don't think you'll find an Uber anytime soon." Sure enough, he was right. We were standing on a deserted sidewalk and nobody in sight.

"Um. I don't know. I don't want to be a bother boss."

"First of all, call me Jack as the working hours are over and secondly I am headed that way too." He stated convincingly and I couldn't just decline once more.

He had a heart of gold.

As much as I stood alert in presence of men, he made me feel, safe, protected, and away from all the harm.

"If you insist. Jack." I smiled, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my air.

He nodded with a victorious smile before leading me to his car. It was a 90s mustang in red color that is my favorite since I was a child.

Opening my side of the door, he gestured for me to sit. "Just for your information. I have a belt in martial arts." I stated playfully which was an obvious lie on my part.

If I had a belt and knew even the slightest of martial arts, I wouldn't have to bear all the torture at the hands of my stepfather.

"And I am a boxer, I'll teach you more." He stated leisurely and I knew he already knew I was lying.

I blushed as I took my seat in his car.

The car roared to life before he stomped on the gas paddle and then it flew down the road in smooth laps.

As much as I hated the fact, but it was the truth, in just a couple of hours, I was attracted to my new boss.

He had that mysterious aura around him that involuntary lured me to him. And those eyes, those were the undoing of my soul's door. It seemed, those pair of deep, mysterious eyes sucked my soul and left me breathless.

It looked as if he knew even the littlest of my secrets and he was there to chase away the demons of my nights.
