I couldn't stop staring at her hazel eyes when she asked me of the reason I saved her. Her eyes look so captivating and beautiful. She broke the eye contact and I cleared my throat nervously.
"Go back to work Amelia" I said instead burying my head in the laptop on my table and she walked out of my office. I thought of the family dinner I was invited to and decided that Amelia would go with me as part of her punishment.
Work ended for the day and I rubbed my eyes tiredly, I will make sure to get enough sleep tonight. I walked out of my office to Amelia's to see her sleeping on her desk. Her hair scattered all over her face and she had two pencils stuck in her hair, another was behind her ear and she was holding one.
I chuckled slightly at the silly position she was in. I removed some part of hair away from her face so that it was visible, one of the pencils fell in the process. She murmured in her sleep and pouted her small mouth.
Her lips were pink and small, she had a little mole just above her lips, guess I didn't notice. I was lost staring at her face that I didn't know when she opened her eyes.
Her hazel eyes caught mine once again and I felt trapped, unable to move nor say anything. How can someone's eyes be so beautiful and captivating? I wondered.
"I'm sorry I slept off sir, please pardon me" she said standing and bowing in respect.
"It's okay, nice work today" I commented and she smiled making me gasp in surprise. What is wrong with me? I said palming my face. I cleared my throat and adjusted my tie.
"What's left in your schedule?" I asked. "Nothing much sir, I will just arrange these documents so that I can send them to you early tomorrow morning" she answered.
"Your hair is a mess"I teased and she smiled nervously picking an elastic band from the table. She touched her hair and removed the order pencil, she tried to put her hair in a bun or is it ponytail?, I mean she just wanted to pack it up. The band cut in the process and she sighed angrily. She was about to pick another one when I stopped her. She stared at me with her eyes wide with surprise. I'm shocked myself, I don't even know what I'm doing.
Slowly, I picked the band from the table and stood in front of her. Since I was way taller than her, it was easy to pick her hair. I gently gathered her hair in my hand and with the other, I tied it with the band. I smiled as I finished packing her hair and looked down to see her staring at me. She looked away before our eyes would meet and I shifted away from her.
"Gather your things so that you can start going. I don't want to find you sleeping here tomorrow morning" I said walking away from her office. She made to carry my bag but I stopped her, "it will be cold once it's late so get home before then" I said again before entering the elevator.

I walked into the garage and entered my car. A sigh escaped my mouth as my back made contact with the comfortable car seat. "Guess I will have to drive myself home today" I said igniting my car.
Amelia
"Did my boss just tie my hair?" I asked no one in particular. I was surprised to get such reaction from him. I thought he would shout or punish me for sleeping at work, rather he advised me to go in such a caring manner. "Wow!" I shouted in happiness as I ran to my seat. I began packing just as he asked me to.
I recalled how he packed my hair and smiled sheepishly. I picked a mirror from my bag and stared at my hair. I admired how it fits and looked good on me. I smiled again before putting the mirror back in my bag.
I walked out of the elevator and walked to Jennifer's table to sign out. She was packed and ready to go too.
"Hey girl" she cooed and I rolled my eyes, "hi" I answered picking up the pen. I signed and dropped it just where I got it from.
"How are you feeling Amelia?" She asked in concern, "I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Are you on your way home?" I asked. "Yes, let's go together" she said dragging my hands towards the door.
I followed her behind as we walked towards the bus station. A car pulled over before us and we looked at each other in surprise.
The windscreen on the driver's side rolled down and we gasped in shock. "Get in" he said and I blinked rapidly.
