Why isn’t he saying anything?

Swallowing, I kept my hands on the glass of water steady, making sure to keep the slight, respectful smile on my face as I stared up at Frank King, my boss.

'Your boss, really?' That sly, devilish voice piped up again.

Who on earth thinks about his or her boss the way I think about Frank?

With each passing day, looking at him became almost… unbearable. It wasn’t because of the way he looked, for there was definitely nothing wrong with him. With his chiseled face, grey, piercing, magnetic eyes, his straight nose, a muscular body which seemed to always fit in whatever clothes he chose to wear, I was pretty sure he got much female attention, probably more than he knew what to do with.

But physical appearances were one thing. And even though I had humble beginnings, I’d seen my fair share of beautiful people. And none of them made me feel even half of what Frank did.

Then what was it about him?

Honestly, I had no idea.

I could just stand there, the same way I have in the past few days, and watch him from afar, wondering why my heart beat so fast and why I suddenly felt like an awkward duckling around him.

He was so cool, so detached. Sometimes I hid behind the door at the kitchen or maybe pretended to be cleaning someplace and just watched him, my eyes going over his features as he concentrated on his work. At first, I was curious about him. How can someone be so selfless to the point of helping my entire family? I’d been so sure that he wasn’t what he appeared to be. And so I tried to find the ulterior motive behind all these.

But I didn’t know when that innocent intention started to evolve to something else.

Soon enough, I began to notice how different his smiles were, depending on what he was doing. Whenever his lips curved to the side, I’d immediately know that he’d just closed a deal or solved some problem. But when he smiled a full smile, he was probably fully satisfied with himself over some physical feat. And he had the habit of gritting his teeth when irritated. His wardrobe was like his life – each clothing item carefully arranged by color, material, and relevance.

At this point, I felt like I’ve observed him so much that I could write a whole essay about him. And even then, these new, unsettling sentiments I was starting to have for him wouldn’t be completely expressed.

“Do you want me to bring juice instead?” I croaked out, my voice unsteady as I pointed towards the kitchen.

It had been minutes and all he’d done was to stand at the doorway staring at me with a strange, intense look in his eyes.

“Or…” I swallowed, getting quite nervous under his continued silence, “…I could just… maybe prepare some dinner real quick? Do you want me to—”

“Crystal.” He said in a deep, gruff voice, making my words hang in my throat.

I blinked, my chest tightening as my heart began to thump.
