Chapter 21- Once Upon a Dream

(Edited) 

I gripped the file hard between my hands and walked as fast as my feet could carry me to my desk. The anticipation of seeing that certain someone made me want to run but I stayed calm so I don't look like a lunatic. As soon as I reached my desk, I took the compact mirror from my handbag and swiftly sorted my hair and re-checked my makeup. I was startled with the sudden ring from the phone, I looked down to see it was coming from Ethan's office. I answered the call professionally when all I could feel was butterflies flying around in my stomach.

"Could you please bring in the file I asked you to look over?" Ethan's asked in his demanding deep voice. His deep voice was alluring making my knees weak. "Yes." I responded but my voice cracked weakly.

I smoothed down my pencil skirt with my hands and started to walk towards Ethan's office with the file in my hand. I stepped in front of his desk as he remained his eyes on his paperwork, his hand caressed his stubble as he concentrated on the paper in front of him. I cleared my throat and spoke, "Sir, your file." I placed it on his desk. He looked up from the paper and stared into my eyes, I felt my whole body burn under his gaze. I couldn't take this intense moment anymore so I looked away. "Thank you." He whispered huskily. He got up from his seat and walked around his desk to stand in front of me, I looked up at him suspiciously.

"I'm sorry for coming to your place unannounced."

"It's okay." I whispered as I realised how close the space between me and Ethan was. My heart started to beat erratically and I was worried with the close proximity Ethan may hear it. I took a step back but that that didn't stop Ethan taking a step forward. "Are you trying to run away from me?"

I shook my head unable to speak which caused my loose hair strand to rest on the side of my face. Ethan moved his masculine hands and gently took the strand and placed it behind my ear. I couldn't help but feel goosebumps rise on my arms, "Good, cause I don't want you to run away from how you feel... for me." He spoke as he gazed at my lip.

I couldn't help but ask as my lips trembled, "How do I feel?"

"Do I need to show you?" He asked as he traced his finger on my bottom lip. My lips tingled, my palms were sweaty, my breathing was shallow and my heart was beating frantically due to the mere small touch.

"Y-yes." I breathed out.

His arms snaked around my waist as he pulled me closer to his body, I wrapped my arms around his neck I closed my eyes waiting for his kiss to free me, the anticipation was killing me.

"Myra!"

"Myra!"

I quickly got up to see Sally in my room, my heart sank knowing that it was all a dream. A perfect dream.

"You're going to be late if you don't get up."

I groaned before pulling the covers off me. I cannot believe that was only a dream! I sat up to see a smirking Sally. "What?" I growled. I really wasn't in a mood for her nonsense, "Well I'm guessing you had an interesting dream." She giggled.

I was shocked with her statement, "W-what makes y-you say that." I stuttered, failing at composing myself.

"Oh you know, just a feeling." She shrugged her shoulders.

I followed Sally to the kitchen, I sat down on the chair and picked up a mug of coffee and a toast. "Sally tell me!" I whined.

"Oh fine, I heard you moan Mr Cole's name in your sleep. I mean I was shocked so I waited for few minutes to see if you would mumble anything else but unfortunately for me you didn't utter another word."
