Secretly Mine

The moment Abigail left my office, I stood up and walked over to my desk, where the bouquet of flowers that I had picked out for Leslie stood.

I decided to finally gather my courage and see her. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her up close, I couldn’t stand it.

The large bouquet trembled slightly in my hands as I approached the small pocket door that led into her office. Nervousness and anticipation coursed through me as I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

One second, two seconds.. a few seconds passed and I didn’t hear a response.

She’s here today, isn’t she?

I reached out and knocked once more, louder this time.

Again, even after a few minutes, nothing.

I frowned before boldly swinging the door open. My eyes immediately traveled to her desk, where I noticed her purse and other personal items.

She is here today. Most likely just stepped out for a moment.

Oh well, I guess I’ll see her another time...

I walked over to her desk, placing the new bouquet beside another one that was delivered yesterday. From the corner of my eye, I noticed that the crystal jar of chocolate-covered almonds was already opened.

My lips curved up into a small smile.
