“See you soon Mr Gold. ” Thomas White screamed loud from behind.
I came out of the room and headed out.
Riley’s pov
It was a normal day at work. I and Cami worked till nine in the evening. After that, we ate at our work place before we left the resturant.
When we came out of the resturant, there was a black car parked at the front of the resturant. Jason and Ethan were out there waiting for us.
“Did you know, that they were coming? ” I asked to Cami.
“No, he didn’t tell me anything. ” she shook her head.
We reach in front of car and they opened the car door for us. Ethan was driving, so Cami sat at the front seat while I sat bcak along with Jason.
“Why are you guys here? ” I asked.
“To pick you up… “Jason replied.
“We are not kids anymore… ” Cami said glaring at Ethan.
“You are … to me” Ethan pinched Cami’s nose. And Cami shrunk back in her seat.
“And you guys didn’t get your car in the morning ” Ethan said looking at me.
Ohh yeah, I almost forgot that they drop us at the morning, so we might have walk to home if they didn’t show up…
“Let’s go then ”
Ethan start up the engine and it sped up the car with a roar.
In a while we were on the busy road of A city. There were lots of cars, probably people were returning home from their work or the teenagers going to the party stuffs.
In the car, a romantic song was being played. Cami , Jason and Ethan were humming the song while I was looking out of window , enjoying the night scenery of A city.
“Do you have to cook for him at night too? ” Jason asked all of a sudden.
I looked at him blankly for a few seconds then I realized what he was talking about. I had forget that I have to cook for Mr. Gold after going home.
I turned on the mobile and checked the time. It was already 10 of night. I wonder if he was hungry till this hour.
“It’s already late, I think he’d already had his dinner. ” I said looking away.
Jason didn’t say anything anymore. I also become quiet all the way to the home.
We reached our appartment in a while. I and Cami got out of car while Ethan and Jason stayed inside.
“Aren’t you guys getting out?? ” Cami asked looking at Ethan from the opened window.
“I don’t think so. I have to drop Jason… ”
“It’s Leyson” Jason beamed from back of the car.
“Yeah, I have to drop him on the way. And I have to go back home too. You know how far it is right? ” Ethan said sweetly rubbing Cami’s cheek.
She nodded.
“Well drive safe than. ”
“Thank you for being our driver today. ” I also waved at Ethan.
“Leyson, I’m also here. ” Jason looked at me with puppy face.
“Good night Jason. ” I waved at him too.
He pouted at me as I reffered him as Jason.
“Well good night Leyson. ” Cami said from my side.
And just in an instant Jason’s face lit up.
“Good night Cami. ” He said sweetly yo her.
“Learn something from her. ” He said to me pointing at Camila.
Before I could anything, the car engine roared and it sped up in the night.
I and Cami entered the building in front of us. We took the elevator .
When the elevator door opened after reaching our floor. The door of the elevator slowly drifted apart and I can see someone standing at the front door of our apartment.
My heart beat paced up as I saw him there. I looked at Cami . She was also looking at Me Gold.
“What is he doing here….? ” She asked.
“Maybe he’s waiting for me to make him dinner. ” I said in a panic tone.
“It’s already ten. Why would he wait to this hour for you. It’s not like he can’t afford a meal. ” Cami said.
I shook my shoulders.
We approached him step by step. I was so nervous, will he scold me ??
Scold for what? I didn’t came late on purpose. I was at my job. I tried to console myself.
“Why are you here ???” Cami asked Mr Gold as we reached to him.
“I’m hungry. ” He replied with a small voice.
I looked at him at daze. This man hadn’t ate anything till now?? He seemed a bit tired and pale too. Was it because of empty stomach ?
“I’m sorry, I… ”
“You didn’t did anything wrong. Our office hour just ended and we are directly coming home. Why are you sorry? He could’ve eaten if he was hungry. He can’t scold at you for this. ” Cami tried to defend me.
“Did I said anything?? “He replied.
Cami shook her head as respond.
“I said I’m hungry. ” he repeated his words.
“I’ll make you something. ” I opened the door and rushed in.
I put on the slippers quickly . I threw the bag at the couch and run to the kitchen. I put on apron and get ready for cooking.
…
While I was chopping veggies, Mr Gold came to kitchen .
I felt my hairs growing straight on his presence.
“It’ll be ready soon. ” I said with a shaking voice.
He didn’t said anything. He came in and sat at one of the table crossing his arms around his chest.
I felt nervous to cook in front of him. In a while a boul of rice, soup, veggies and some other items were ready.
Thanks to all the hard years at Wilson family. Now I could cook this fast.
I took the food to the table. Mr Gold was watching me doing this. His eyes were following me everywhere.
In a while, table was done setting up.
“It’s ready. ” I said as I made an short eye contact with him.
He nodded and sat on the chair.
I went up to him and serve him food. He was smiling at me. I was so close to him at this point. My heart was throbbing inside my chest.
Soon I served him his food. And stay a bit away from him. I looked around and Cami wasn’t here. She must be in her room.
I step forward to go to my room while suddenly Mr Gold spoke up.
“Stay with me while I’m eating. ”
I stood there frozen and recalled what he’d just said.
I went back to the table and tried to sit in front of him.
“Seat here . ” he pointed at the empty chair next to him.
I went up to him and sat on the place where he pointed. I felt akward to stay there. But I had no other choice.
He started eating the food on the table one by one. I was looking at his handsome face. It was greenery to the eye to see him eat food from this close.
I looked at his Adam apple, moving up and down along with his movements. I feel so heated up. I feel his every move was melting me.
“I want more soup. ” he get me back from my thoughts.
“Ahh” I quickly got up and then ran to the kitchen.
In a while I came back with another bowl of soup in my hand. I put it in front of him.
I didn’t say this time. I just keep a distance and keeo staring at him. My head was flooded with questions.
Why did he make this deal ? Even if I cook for lifetime, my salary won’t be able to pay that sum…
Why did he wait for my low quality food when he could’ve eaten foods made by best chefs ?
What was he up to?
“Don’t think too much.. ” he said putting down his spoon.
I looked at him as my eye widened. There was something, I mean he always knew that what I was thinking. It wasn’t the first time.
He smiled at me. And i felt my heart flying away
I smiled back with a creepy smile.
He got up from his seat.
“Tommorow at seven. ” he said as he moved out .
“What? ” I asked him but he was already out of house.
I shook my head and headed back to the bedroom. It was almost midnight now and Cami was already asleep.
I quietly went to her side and slipped into the blankets.
…………
The next morning, I got up with the fresh energy. I looked at the watch and it was only six. I don’t know why I woke up this morning.
Still i decided to not to sleep as I got out of my bed.
