Forgetting Him by Anna Belle

fiery.
                  Nathan calmly grabbed her extended hand, opened the clenched fist and gently kissed the palm. She just watched him, dumbfounded. Her entire body shook from that one kiss. Her body felt like warm electric waves washed over her thousands of times, covering her completely.
                  "The door to my office and my house is always open for you." He said as he cherished the fact that she was speechless.
                  "You're dreaming, Mr. Greco." She woke up from her gaze, stepped around him and disappeared down the hallway.
                  He turned around him and, since nobody was around and the door to O'Conner's office was now closed, laughed out loud. Before he opened the door to O'Conner's office, he fixed his attire and put on a much more serious, business-like face.
                  "I almost forgot." O'Conner remembered as Nathan was already preparing to leave his office.
                  "Yes?" He turned around.
                  "Tomorrow, around five, we have business partners coming from Chicago and we planned to make a small presentation for them. I hope you will be there as well."
                  "Thank you for letting me know, I'll be there." He promised.
                  "Five o'clock, in the main conference room."

                  Nathan came to the presentation, but he didn't hear anything that they were saying. He sat right next to Marie, taking in deep breaths of her attractive smell and he only thought about how he could get her to notice him.
                  "You changed your perfume." He whispered to her.
                  "Oh, God!" She rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms on her chest and looked at him in boredom.
                  "Admit that you did it because I told you that I loved this smell on you." He played with her.
                  "This had nothing to do with you." She whispered as she turned around to see if anyone noticed.
                  She noticed that Bruce was focused on the presentation and wasn't paying any attention to her, which worked out perfectly for her.
                  "Marie." He whispered to her again.
                  "What do you want?" She almost screamed at him. But, as she noticed people around her turning around to glance at them, she put her finger towards her lips to tell him to keep quiet.
                  "Come outside if you can and I'll tell you." He said.
                  "I'm not playing games with you Nathan."
                  "This isn't a game." he said as he placed his hand over hers.
                  "What are you doing?" She pulled her hand away quickly as if his very touch burned her.
                  She hated that she had to whisper and pretend like nothing was going on. She would have loved to scream at him, to tell him all that was on her mind.
                  Nathan just smiled and watched her, pretending to not understand what she was talking about. He pointed towards a man that was saying something, who at that moment looked at the two of them. She instantly put on a serious face, smiled, and nodded her head like she had been listening the entire time.
                  "You'll pay for this!" She seethed under clenched teeth.
                  "I'll wait for you." He said as he got up and slowly sneaked out of the large room. He easily moved through all the chairs and disappeared through the door.
                  She remained in her chair and watched him curiously as he made his way to the end. Who does he think he is, she asked herself. She continued to sit, but she couldn't pay attention anymore. She leaned from one hand to the other, looked from one face to the next and wondered if he was really waiting for
