Martina's POV

''So how was at work? Was someone bothering you?'' My mom asked me when I sat on the bar stool. She slided the plate with food and it landed in front of me.

''Everything was fine, mom. Boss is good and my coworkers are kind too.'' I said.
''I'm happy to hear that. As long as you like the job.'' I nodded my head and started eating. My mom's cooking is delicious.

I washed the dishes after I finished and headed in my room. I was a little tired. Today, we had more work than usual. I ploped on my bed and snuggled in my pillows.

Just when I almost fell asleep, my phone started ringing. I wanted to kill Lily if it was her, but when I looked at the ID, it was Mr. Hall. I immediately picked up.

''Hello?''
''Hey, Martina. Can you come to my house? It's emergency.'' He said. His voice wasn't like his usual one. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, but I decided to come. Maybe, it's really an emergency.

''I will come soon, Mr. Hall.'' I said and got up from bed.
''Great. See you.'' I hung down and just put on my jacket over my shirt. I took my purse and rushed downstairs.

''Mom, boss asked me to come because we have an emergency. I will come home when we fix what we have to.'' I said.
''Okay, but be careful. Please.'' She said and hugged me.
''I will. Bye.'' I waved her and got out of the house.

I called the cab and luckily it came in five minutes. I told him the address of Mr. Hall's house. I remember when I had to deliver him some papers so I had to go to his house.

I payed a fare and got out as soon as we arrived. I knocked few times on the door, but nobody opened so I pushed the door open. I entered the house and looked around.

I saw dim lights inside his living room.
''Mr. Hall? I'm here.'' I said and went towards the living room. What I saw completely threw me off guard.

He was sitting on a floor in shorts and bottle of alcohol was on the small coffee table. He was drinking here and I thought some real emergency happened.

''Why did you call me, Mr. Hall?'' I asked and came closer to him.
''I was alone.'' He whispered. I put my knees on the floor and looked at him.
''Is that the only reason?'' He averted his eyes to me.

''Can you hold me again?'' He asked. His eyes were red, I guess he drank a lot. But I was sorry for him. One man in this big house. Of course he was feeling lonely.

I removed my jacket and sat next to him. He scooted to my side like a little child. I put his head on my chest and wrapped my arms around him. For him, this small gesture was enough.

''Do you want to tell me what's bothering you?'' I asked. He nodded and snuggled closer to me.
''I've had enough of everything. I feel tired. I don't want to kill people anymore. I can't be a bad man anymore.'' He said. I put my hand in his hair and started caressing it slowly.

''Then you should stop. Don't put pressure on yourself anymore. You should stop doing wrong things and focus on what's good for you.'' I consulted him.

He raised himself from me and looked me in the eyes.
''I hate you.'' He said. I held back a gasp and tears. He hates me?
''I hate that I have these feelings for you. They make me go insane, Martina. You're the first woman I have this stupid feelings for.'' He said getting more closer.

I blushed red with this intimacy. Why do I feel like my heart is going to burst because of the happiness? Why am I all jelly and embarassed?

I could feel his breath on my lips.
''I want to try them.'' He licked his lips before pressing them on mine. My body almost exploded from how hot I was feeling. He kissed me.

I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I could feel a bit of an alcohol in my mouth. I liked my first kiss. It wasn't harsh, but soft. It was perfect. He pulled away and stared into my eyes for few seconds.

''Nice.'' He smiled and his head fell on my shoulder. I touched my swollen lips in shock. I just kissed my boss. What will he think about me?

I snapped out of my worried thoughts when I heard his snores. He really fell asleep after what happened. I pushed his heavy body on the floor and took a pillow from the couch. I put the pillow under his head and covered him with blanket.

I'm glad that heat in the house was turned on or I would freeze myself. It was late and I had no intention of going back home. I laid on the couch and fell asleep.

****

When I opened my eyes, I saw blanket on me. But I didn't have any blanket last night. I looked down on the floor to see Mr. Hall gone.

I sat up on the couch and stretched my sore muscles. Not recommending to sleep on a couch. I turned around when I heard water boiling. I saw Mr. Hall in the kitchen.

''Good morning.'' I said and stood up from the couch.
''Good morning. I put you spare toothbrush on the counter in the bathroom.'' He said.
''Thanks.'' I said and rushed to the bathroom.

Does he remember what happened last night? I would be so embarassed if he does. I kissed him back too. But it was just because of emotions, I wouldn't actually do that.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face. His towels smell like him. I would steal one, but I'm not that crazy to actually do that. After I put my hair in a ponytail and made myself presentable, I got out and headed to the kitchen.

I saw him taking a pill and water. It's probably for hangover.
''I made you coffee, if you want.'' He said and showed me a cup on the countertop.
''Thank you.'' I said and took a cup.

''About last night, I'm sorry.'' He apologized. Don't tell me he remembers. Sirens in my head were already gone off. Oh no.

''I'm sorry I can't remember anything, but if I did something to offend you. I'm really sorry for that.'' He said, I sighed in relief.
''You did nothing, Mr. Hall. You were just talking and then you fell asleep. That's it.'' I chuckled and took a sip of coffee.
''I'm really glad to hear that. Whatever I did, I didn't mean to, just so you know.'' He said.

I felt my eyes water. Our kiss didn't mean anything to him? Why am I still standing in this damn house then? Of course, it didn't mean anything to him.

I put a cup down on the counter and looked at him.
''I should get going now, Mr. Hall. Thank you for the coffee.'' I said and went to pick up my jacket and purse. Before he could stop me, I got out of the house.

I went to the first bus station and took the bus to my house. My first kiss and he didn't mean anything by that.
