Arianna wondered what might be going on in his mind as he kept staring at her intently.
She looked back to make sure someone wasn’t at her back, unaware of her.
“I have something to tell you”Andre said and took steps forward, clenching his fingers nervously inside his pocket,then Max came out of the male's restroom,he had to pause and waited impatiently for him to leave.
Max waved awkwardly at Arianna and left the room.
Andre drew a deep breath and opened his mouth to continue but immediately Arianna put a finger on his lips.
He was so stunned, his eyes widened and his lips drew into a grimace at unexpected action from, he so much hates skinship.
He gave her a cold look and no one told her to put her hands out of his lips.
“If you are going to insult me just bear in mind that I won’t ever get mad, I have decided to be of a free spirit and a great assistant to you”She said giving him a purposely cute eye smile.
“ Are you trying to act cute, that’s cringe, you don't have what it takes and I don't want to throw up"’Andre replied bluntly.
Arianna took a deep breath, fighting back every self will to bite back at him then once the load was off her chest,she continued smiling.
“See I am still smiling and definitely not mad, I will be a good assistant and be respectful as one no matter what you say”.
Andre twitched his lip and quirked his thick brow.
“So you are ready to do anything I tell you to do as your boss without questioning me or complaining or even threatening to quit as you always childishly do”.
Arianna almost pouted annoyingly but she managed to smile and nodded at his question, his lips sealed making her cheeks fat.
If she is to release her lips, she will definitely say something cruel back at him.
Her face was so adorable that Andre smiled a bit.
He had an idea to trigger her anger.
"Interesting now, bark like a dog”.
“What?”Arianna snapped, unsure of what she heard.
“Are you also deaf?”
Arianna shifted her glasses and smiled, but dying inside.
“Ofcourse Boss will do that right away”.
She put her hands on her head, as to make puppy ears and started flapping them.
“MeoW!”
Andre's eyes raised widely, the sound startled him.
“What are you? A puppy with cat disorder?”he snapped and shook his head.
Arianna pouted and tried again.
“Woof! woof!"
She made the sound, whining her waist round with the woof sound.
Andre ofcourse noticed her butt wiggle.
“Now why are you wiggling your waist”.
“It's called, wagging sir, I don’t have a tail, so I have to wag my butt sir”.
Andre couldn’t hold it anymore, he cracked up and then regretted his existence.
Arianna was surprised,she put her hand slowly down as though she just discovered a world wonder.
“Wow you can actually laugh, I taught you don’t know how to.."
He cuts in.
“That’s it enough, don’t create any scene here, I have seen your potential, you must be a dog in your past life and I hate laughing, you can be stupid without making me laugh”he replied tartly.
Arianna got caught in his eyes, as he was talking to her.
“Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful eyes, brows and lashes , lips, gosh! If you are a woman, you are so pretty I am envious of you already".
She complimented sincerely.
Andre felt his breath harden, his cheeks were getting unnecessarily hot too, he immediately snapped out of it.
“You don’t have to tell me what I look like, I see myself everyday in the mirror,”he bluntly replied.
Arianna pouted."A simple thanks would do".
"I don’t say thanks to people".
“Why?"
He gave her a look and raised a brow.
“Ooooh! My bad no whys”.
She scratched her hair roughly, smiling awkwardly.
Andre groaned inside and thought loud in his mind.
I better get out of here, or someone will come in, Max is already enough witness.
He made to go but Arianna didn’t move until he stood close enough for her face to hit his chest, he is that tall.
“Can you move it?”
Arianna perceived his manly perfume and had to sniff it.
She knew how much he hated skinship and decided to torture him.
She held him by the collar of his suit and buried her face in his chest, sniffing like a dog.
“What the hell do you think you are doing?"
Andre whispered nervously, his eyes widened with panic.
“You smell so good, what perfume do you use?"
She said and tiptoed sniffing to his neck.
"So irritating stop it".
He tried to pull her away but she wouldn't let go until she mistakenly kissed him on the neck.
Both freezed for close to 30 seconds.Then Andre angrily forced her hands off his suit and got out of the restroom.
Arianna closed her eyes shamefully and stroked her lips.
"What did I do?"
But then remembering how he panicked, when she was sniffing his chest, she laughed.
“That’s what you get for being rude" then she paused and groaned "God why are my lips still feeling like it's still on his skin”.
She said rubbing her lips with her hand.
Then she decided to wash her lips but the feeling was still there.
When she finally came out of the restroom all eyes turned to her.
Max ran towards her.
“Did he ask you to bark?"he whispered.
Arianna nodded and replied shamefully.
“He did, oh no you heard me from here, I can't you all hear me"she panicked.
“Wow, you are good at it”Max teased and cracked up.
She pouted and frowned at him.
“Well laugh all you can Max, it is the things we do for our job”.
****
Andre slammed the door and got to his seat roughly pulling his tie , loosening it to be more comfortable.
He threw his head back and breathed heavily, his broad chest compressing then slowly he touched the spot on the neck Arianna kissed.
Resisting the urge but failed woefully he put those fingers on his lips and smiled shyly to himself.
Like an excited child, he sat up straight, picked one of his phones then dialed a number.
Got up and strolled across the room to his locker.
The receiver answered.
“The perfume isn’t bad, I need ten more”.
“Thanks so much ,we will deliver right away” the receiver stated excitedly.
He trashed the other perfumes in his locker into the bin and smiled at that particular one, Arianna complimented.
Then got back to his seat, closed his eyes trying to recreate the scene again in his mind.
