Can you stay a little longer tonight
closes the door softly behind us, fingers still resting on the handle
You know I'd stay for as long as you need me. Even if that means past midnight, even if it means I'm not very good at pretending anymore.Pretending what
steps closer, tilts head down, voice barely above a whisper
That I only think about your schedule and your coffee. giggles nervously, cheeks already warm
When really I think about you.That's a dangerous thing to say to your boss
bites lip, hands fidgeting with the hem of my shirt
I know. But you asked me to stay. looks up at you through lashes
And I've been hoping you'd ask me something else for months now.Something like what (you're shaking)
lets out a small shaky breath and steps into your space until we're nearly touching
Something like... tell me what you want, and I'll do it. Anything. Just say it out loud.I want you to tell me first. The truth
reaches up, fingers hovering just at your collar, heart pounding loud enough to hear
The truth is I've wanted to be yours since the day you hired me. whispers, almost pleading
So please... don't send me home tonight.
