You shrieked slightly out of surprise when a loud thud resounded through the room and your desk vibrated. With a snap of your head you looked up from your paperwork to look at the woman standing in front of you. The small smile on Kara’s face made your eyebrows crawl up onto your forehead. It had been two months since you had been working here and while you hadn’t really been sure about this job when you had first started it, you honestly had to admit that you had grown used to everything over here. Every morning you would go past a small coffee shop in town, where they made your favorite cappuccino’s and get three cups of coffee. When you got here you greeted the lady sitting behind the lobby and asked how how her day had been before you took the elevator towards the fifth floor. You’d peacefully wait in the moving box, staring at your coffee’s and wonder if they would get cold before you would hear a small ping and would get out. Then you would walk through the hallway, all by yourself and listen to the sound of your heels hitting the tiles while you walked towards that one door. Then you would casually knock, knowing he already knew that it was you who was standing outside. And instead of shouting for you to come in like he usually did with others, he actually would actually come to open the door for you himself. With a sweet smile you would hand him his favorite drink and he would thank you with the same expression. 

After some small talk or the interruption of a ringing phone you would wish him a nice day before going back towards the elevator and going back down towards the first floor. At that time not wondering, but knowing that the two cups you still had with you had cooled off. Then you would hand one of the two remaining coffee’s to your colleague and by now close friend Kara, who would smile mischievously at you before thanking you and accepting. After that morning routine you would finally take place behind your desk and drink your own creamy drink, enjoying the taste of it while you would start up your computer. But Kara standing here, at your desk at this hour of the day, wasn’t a part of your routine. More even, usually you were the one who went over to her desk, with a bunch of question you had to ask her. You may have been working here for quite a while now, but you still didn’t know everything this job held, so you still needed help sometimes. And that wasn’t a bad thing, you weren’t embarrassed to admit that you didn’t know everything all the time. It was better to ask it so you knew for sure what to do instead of doing it wrong and getting into trouble. Though you knew for sure that your boss would never really be angry with you if you would make a mistake. “What’s wrong?” You asked before looking down to see what had made such a loud noise and were surprised to see a vase standing on top of the furniture. Though that wasn’t the thing that awed you most, it were the flowers inside of them that left you dazed. 

“I was asked to take these to you. Very beautiful if you ask me. Whoever sent these to you deserves as much as a coffee don’t you think?” She said as her fingers played with one of the leaves of the roses, being careful not to ruin them. The smell already filled your nose thrills and you noticed a few of your colleagues turn their heads to stare at the huge bouquet. Instead of answering her you sniffed and pushed back your chair so you could stand up and reach the card that was stuck in the middle of it. “I didn’t know you were dating _____________. Who is the lucky guy?” Eric asked from the desk behind yours, his head curling around his computer screen so he could look at you. Eric was the IT-guy, always typing away on his computer and working on all different kind of difficult things you didn’t even understand. He was nice though and you liked talking to him during lunch time or just during work, when it was really calm. “Eric, I think I found your nose. It was in my business.” You said with a sweet look as you tilted your head to the side. As an answer he stuck out his tongue at you before chuckling and going back to his work. It wasn’t like you minded him asked, but for as long as you weren’t sure yourself about who had sent them, you thought it was better to just not say anything at all. Curiously you searched for the small card and folded it open. The handwriting on the whole background was very elegant, but still simple. ‘Thanks for the coffee and your beautiful appearance. -B’ A smile broke through your clouded expression because of the sweet gesture and you realized you must be grinning like a fool. 

“I’m not going to ask you who they’re from, but let’s just pretend that I don’t have a clue and I’m just giving you some random advice here.” Kara said as she placed her hands on the wooden desk and leaned closer to you. With large eyes you stared at her, wondering what she was about to say next. Kara attempted to give you some brilliant advice sometimes, but that didn’t mean that what she said was always very clever. Though, you never ignored her, because sometimes it caused that you were able to have a good laugh. “Go say thank you.” She eventually muttered and your cheeks started to burn because of it. Of course she knew what was going on between you and your boss, she wasn’t blind. At times you still tried to pretend as if nothing had changed, as if things would never be the same again. But you couldn’t not admit that you were falling for him again, that you still liked him. Though, there was a part of you that still warned you for everything you had been through with him before. All the sleepless nights and harsh words. The last thing you wanted was a repeat of that matter and that was probably the thing that stopped you from going all the way. Besides, he was your boss and you knew that it couldn’t be very smart to start a relationship with the person who was able to fire you at all times. “And leave that jacket here, show off the dress.” She added before turning around and walking away, leaving you with the adoring flowers and your small desk. Quickly you glanced down on yourself and looked at the dress you had decided to wear this morning, since the weather was allowing it. It was a nice fitting dark blue dress that reached just above your knees. You had always loved to w
