Barbara Laws POV:

      I don't know what came over me, but towards the end, I kissed him. Sure, it was shocking for two reasons. First, I kissed him, and surprisingly wanted one back. Second, he seemed stunned.  

        Ha, that look on his face. It was almost worth the kiss to see him standing there speechless. It meant nothing when it came to the kiss. 

       The next morning, I blushed. I had woken up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because I dreamt, the boss man Jack Nickelson and I kissed beside the copying machine. That would not have been so bad, except we added our tongues, and people bet on the wedding. The wedding that was not even real just as our relationship was all a ploy.

         I knew, there was no way, the dream could ever come true because my boss did not see me that way. I heard others cheer and roar as I entered the office. Strangely, it was not like I had told anyone about my dream. What was the big deal about anyway?

      I soon found out. I entered the boss's office without a knock. I saw some girl, I did not know sitting on his desk. She was pleading for her job and by the looks of it doing horrible at it.

     I took a seat, on the boss's lap, and kissed his cheek. Then, I started to trace a trail down his face with my hands.

    "Whatever it is, I am yours," He whispered. I felt my face flush at his words. 

       The other girl walked off, annoyed, and slammed the door behind her.  I got off his lap and winked at him. "Well, I am free whenever you need me, just call, babe."  I returned to my office, leaving him with this dopey expression. Ha, I still got it.

            Two hours later, I got a text, "Seriously, why did you suddenly sit on my lap, and act as if you were all lovely dovey?"   

          I blinked twice. I texted him, " Jack, darling, I was sensing she was making you uncomfortable and I only meant to signal to her that you are mine."  I sent a few heart emojis after the message. 

           "Babe, I want you to know you're the only one for me."  That was the message I got.

         I felt my face turn red at his words. Why should I react this way?  

         Time skip...

After work, I was about to leave the building when my boss grabbed my arm. "Wait, you are not going anywhere yet."  "I am not?" "No, not until we have fun," he said. "What kind of fun?"  I ask.

    He does not answer, He takes me to the area where the copier is. I gasp. What is this a prank? 

     He draws a heart on my right cheek. "Now, place it on the machine and make me six copies," He says huskily. I do as he says.  I hand him the copies. "Cute, now, you're all mine," He whispers. Before, I can say anything, He shoves me into the side of the machine. I gasp. "Shh," He says. I nod my head. He cups my face in his hands. I shake my head, no. He responds by sliding his hands down.  They hold my waist now.  I close my eyes. He kisses me slowly. First, I feel his lips brush against my eyelids, then, my chin, nose, ears, neck, and finally my lips. I moan, and he does the same. "Kiss me, he whispers." "Wh-what?" I mutter. "Kiss me, Barbara," He says.

     I kiss him. As we kiss, my dream comes to mind and my eyes open. I don't know how to react. Why is he doing this?  He holds me closer, and soon like in the dream, I feel his tongue join with mine. I don't try to break away. I deepen the kiss. He places a hand on my left thigh. Do, I want this?

       I hear a knock on the door, but he does not break away. Someone enters the room. I hear whispers in the hallway after they leave. What has happened?

      "Barabara," He whispers my name. "Y-yes?"  He picks me up and sets me on the lid of the copier. I shake my head. He climbs up. Now, beside me, He mutters, "That was some kiss, my love."  "We really shouldn't..."  "Shh, let me have you," He says. He kisses me again. This time, he is gentler than before. He lets go. 

      I watch him leave. He waves at me as if nothing happened. I am the one stunned now.

    Good day, what was that all about anyway? Does he love me? I shook my head. No, It can't be. Then, why all the kisses? I went to my office, feeling more confused than I had in years.
