As I step into the building, iced coffee in hand, I take notice of the open office door, Hayden inside packing his stuff into a box.
"Switching offices?" I ask from the door, to which he simply replies with a scoff.
"Morning doll face" Tom says quietly, pulling me down the hallway into his office.
"What's Hayden's problem?" I ask, shutting the door behind me.
"I fired him last night" he says and my eyes widen.
"What why?" I ask.
"Because he's a dick" Toms shrugs.
"You can't fire someone for being a dick" I laugh.
"He was talking about you.. saying things about you and I wanted to fucking hurt him.. so fucking bad.." he says.
"Tom.. what we have going is good, but you can't be firing people for me.." I shake my head. Although the intention is sweet, I can't let him think it's okay to do things like that for me.
"I fired him for me." He states. "I couldn't stand him telling me how you asked him to do things to you.. things you only get to do with me."
He rests his hands on my hips, pushing me back slowly against the wall.
"If you want someone's fingers wrapped around your neck, it's going to be mine." He says, putting slight pressure under my jaw with his fingers, wrapping them.
"I will kill anyone that looks at you the way I look at you."
I start to feel weak in my knees, his words and touch  sending shocks through my body. He looks me up and down, and I bite my lip, giving him the most innocent puppy dog eyes I possibly can.
"Don't give me that look baby, or I might just need to take you right here." He says, his hand cupping under my chin.
"Maybe I want that" I say quietly.
Theres a knock on the door and Tom quickly steps away from me.
"Hey I brought you coffee" Haz says, walking in.
"Thanks mate" Tom says like nothing happened.
"Did you tell her?" He asks, nodding his head at me.
"Yeah" Tom nods, sitting down at his desk.
How can he go from that heated moment to being normal so quickly? I'm still in a daze.
"Dude he was such a Div, calling you a whore and shit, I was ready to beat his ass." Haz says. "But Tom beat me to it by firing him."
"Scuse' me" I say, walking past Haz and out of the room. They follow closely behind me, Haz knowing I'm about to start shit. He knows me too well.
"Hey Hayden" I say as he walks out of his office, box in hand. He turns around to me and I finish making my way over to him.
"Funny you call me a whore, when you were just moaning my name last week. You're lucky I even let you and your micro penis finish. Have fun with your boring vanilla life" I say, and just as he's about to open his mouth, Haz laughs, patting him on the shoulder.
"Dude just leave before you embarrass yourself" Haz says.
He simply shakes his head at me, turning and leaving the building.
"Well, time to go post a job listing" Tom nods, heading back to his office.
"That's one way to start the work day" Haz laughs.

"Knock knock" I hear and look up to the door, a smile growing on my face.
"Stass what are you doing here?" I ask.
"Well a little birdy told me lunch was at one so I brought you some of your favorite" she says, sitting across my desk from me.
"You are an Angel" I say, opening the dish.
"Yeah I know" she says proudly. "So uhm.. on the way up here I ran into Haz."
"Oh god is he trying to fuck you again? I'm so sorry.." I groan.
"No, he was really nice" she shrugs. "He actually asked me on a date.."
"Seriously? Harrison? A date?" I question.
It's not that Haz is a fuckboy, in fact he's the opposite. Yeah he has hookups here and there but he's really shy, and doesn't think he's relationship material, no matter how many times I tell him he's great he doesn't believe it.
"Yeah.. and I said yes. I hope that's okay?" She asks.
"Are you kidding? Of course it's okay! God I've been waiting for his dumb ass to finally ask you out!"
"He definitely was shy about it" she laughs.
Haz and Stassie would be the perfect couple. She's like a bomb, she's explosive and full of energy, she's outgoing and active, where as Haz is more like me. He's quiet and likes his place at the desk. Maybe she'll bring out some fun in him.
"So where's your boy" she raises her brow at me and I face palm.
"Don't call him that. He's not my boy" I laugh. "He's just.. the occasional kinky hookup"
"Are we talking kinky dirty talk or kinky red room?" She asks.
"Somewhere in between" I say.
"Ooo girl get it" she cheers and my cheeks flush red.
"Stooop" I groan while laughing, finishing up the amazing lunch she made me.
My office door opens and Tom walks in, flipping through some papers.
"Hey when you're done ca- oh sorry I didn't know someone was here" he says, turning to walk out.
"No no it's fine come back in Thomas" Stassie says, and Tom turns around, a brow raised.
"It's just Tom" he says.
"Alright just Tom, what can Lia do for you?" She asks him, he shoots me a weird look and I just shake my head, letting him know this is just how she is.
"Okay.. I just need you to write in the dates for these two emails, they got cut off" he says, handing me some papers.
"Okay, I'll get that done" I nod.
"I'll leave you guys to it-" he starts.
"Oh come on, take a seat." Stassie says, pulling out the chair next to her and I internally groan.
"Umm.. okay.." he says, sitting down. It's funny to see him so compliant and out of his comfort zone. Normally he's the one telling everyone else what to do, wether it be in bed or at work.
"Got a family Thomas?" She asks.
"Again, just Tom. And yeah, mum, dad, a few brothers" he shrugs.
"Do you spend much time with them?" She asks.
"As much as I can with being the CEO of a business." He says.
"Would you say you're scared of commitment?" She asks.
"Uhh.. no?" He answers hesitantly.
"Alright Stass my lunch is over thank for coming by" I say quickly and she shoots me a 'I was just getting started' look.
"Fine" she groans, standing up. "Good to see you again Thomas. See you tonight lia."
She leaves my office, shutting the door behind her and Tom looks over to me.
"She knows we're fucking doesn't she?" He asks.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Mhmm okay that whole situation makes sense now" he laughs.
"Sorry she's kinda.. protective." I tell him.
"Good. I'm glad you have a friend like that" he says. "Something as special as you needs to be protected"
And with that he walks out of my office, leaving me feeling warm inside, in a completely different way than he normally does.
