Bella’s POV
I still cant get over with the fact that Mrs King asked me to come over for dinner. What is going on here?
Mr King sill sends flower over everyday. He just wont stop. Everyday he sends me flowers and then I see him staring at me while I am working.
And when I catch him, he just smirks at me. He even text me with pick up lines, good morning texts and good night texts.
Its becoming so hard to avoid his charm. I don’t know how long I can do this. We work in the same office and him doing this, it makes it just so hard.
I sighed as I typed in my computer. I heard my handphone ring. I saw the caller I. D and it read unknown number. Nonetheless I still picked it up.
“Hello?” I asked. No reply. “Hello?” I asked again. Still no replied. I sighed. As I was about to put down, “Hey tiger.” I gasped.
It cant be. No way. “Dean?” I asked still in question. “Indeed it is.” I squealed when I heard his voice. Tears threatening to make its way down.
“Oh my god its really.” I said grinning like a mad woman. I heard him chuckle. “How? Where are you and how are you?” I asked him
“Well I managed to get your number. I am on the road and also very good. Did I answer all your question?” he asked me with mischief. I just chuckled.
“What do you mean you are on the road. Are you talking and driving?” I asked him. “I swear to god if you are I’m going to come there and whoop your ass.” I scolded him.
“Calm down tiger. Look don’t worry. I am actually calling to tell you something.” he said with excitement.
“What is it?” I asked curiously. “Well I am in New York.” he said subtly. I stayed quiet trying to register everything he say. When I did I couldn’t help but squeal.
When I realised what I did, I looked around to see Mr King looking at me. I quickly turn to the other side. “Where are you?” I asked him trying to contain my excitement.
“Just entered Brooklyn.” he said as I can here car honks. “Wanna meet for lunch?” he asked me. “Yeah sure,” “Text me the address to pick you up at.” he said. I replied with an ok as I put down the phone.
I was so happy. I looked at Mr King to see he was still looking at me. I just smiled sheepishly and mouth sorry. He nodded his head and smiled at me.
I return to work waiting for lunch.
–
Lunch came and I quickly took my things. As I was about to go into the lift, Mr King came into the lift too. I realised Ava has been going out with a boy but I have no idea who he is.
Once the lift doors closed, the awkward silence fell upon us. “So, you seem excited.” he asked me. I just slowly nodded my head.
“What is it about?” he asked me. I hesitated. Should I? “I’m gonna meet someone after a long time.” I said hesitatingly.
“Who?” he asked me suspiciously. “Its my-” before I could say, the lift doors open. I quickly got out. I couldn’t take the tension. I saw my phone. Dean texted saying he is already here. I smiled as I went out.
I came out of the building searching for the hazel green eyed man. Within seconds I found him grinning at me. I squealed and hugged him.
“I missed you tiger.” he said as he spin me around hugging me. I squealed. I couldn’t believe he’s actually here. “I missed you too.”
He put me down. He looked at me inspecting me. “Look at you.” he said as I grinned at him. I heard someone clear their throat behind me.
I turn around to see its Mr King. “Mr King?” I asked him. He just raised his eyebrows at us. “Oh sorry. Dean meet my boss, Mr King.”
“Mr King meet Dean. My brother.” I said. Dean gave his hands to shake while Mr King just stood there would a shock expression. I almost laughed at his expression.
Soon her recovered from his stance and shook his hands with Dean. “Its nice to meet you.” Dean said to Mr King. “Like wise. And please call me Xavier.” he said back.
“Are you both going for lunch?” Mr King asked us. Before I could reply Dean beat me to it. “Yes we are.” Dean said smilingly.
“Why don’t I take you guys out for lunch.” he offered. “I appreciate it. But there is no need of that.” I quickly butt in.
“I insist.” he reluctantly said. “Come on, its your boss that’s offering. It wouldn’t hurt, would it now.” My brother tried to convince me.
I huffed and nodded my head. The moment I agreed, I saw the twinkle in Mr King’s eye. I just brushed it off.
We got inside Mr King’s car as he offered us. I was sitting in the front while my brother was sitting in the back. Great. Note my sarcasm.
“So what do you do Dean?” Mr King asked trying to make a conversation. “I travel around.” This got Mr King interested.
“Really? That’s interesting. What do you do in your travel?” “I help people and work in mechanic sheds and all.” my brother said with proud.
“Where do you plan on going next?” Mr King asked. This got me curious. “Well I plan on staying actually. I am thinking of opening my own mechanic shed here.” this was news to me.
I looked at him as he perked up. He just smiled at me. I never thought he would stop going around. I smiled back understandingly.
“So Xavier you seemed like you like the idea of traveling around. Do you plan too?” my brother asked him. He quickly turned to me.
“Yeah I do. One day. With the love of my life.” he said smiling down at me. This got me shocked. My heart start to swell at his words.
I quickly shook my head.
Soon we reached the restaurant. Lunch here we come. I thought as I sighed.
