Enemies

Chapter 14

When I got home, I calmed down and relaxed. What I did was the right thing to do, we can´t have us thinking with our emotions. Soon the morning came, and I was off to work. I liked working it helped me get some things off my mind. While Amy was burying me under loads of papers, I didn´t realise it was lunch time. Amy came again in my office telling me Kaden was here, I was surprised. Why was he here? I told her to let him in. He came looking effing good in that suit. Wave of heat rushed thru me.

“Hi.. what brings you here?” He was resting his hands on the back from the chair that was in front of my desk. He was studying my office, I had to clear my throat to get his attention. So I repeated the question.

“I wanted to see if you would like to go for a lunch with me?” I´m not gonna lie but I was surprised he still wanted to see me even. He noticed my shock and a smug smile was playing on his lips.

“Before you think something else, I wanted to discuss the contract. My attorney made it, and we should go thru it, when we are done you should send it to yours and then we will sign it. And we can´t do it here because it would be suspicious to your workers, and we are supposed to be a couple, the more public appearance we have the better.” He finished while looking at me, I hated the fact he was right. So I got my bag and followed him out of the building. The moment we went out of my office his hand found a way around my waist, pulling me to him. Everybody was looking at us, some shocked, some happy, some angry for some reason, some jealous. When we got to the elevator and the door closed his hand wasn´t there anymore. It was like I said it strictly for the contracts purposes. When we left the elevator his hand was back around my waist. We went to his Range Rover Evoque Td4 180. He really did have a good taste in cars. He opened the door for me, and I got in. Soon he followed, we were driving somewhere I didn´t know. I tried asking him where are we going but nothing, but he would just tell me to be patient. The car came to a halt, when I looked around It was a small place. Lot´s of people were coming in and out, from outside it looked beautiful and charming. I couldn´t wait to see the inside of it, I don´t know why but I always liked places like this, that were open for years and had a story behind it. It was simple and I liked simple. Kaden being the perfect gentlemen opened the door for me. We walked hand in hand inside, and it was beautiful as I presumed. It had a retro style that I love. It wasn´t big but it was perfect again. We managed to find a table next to the window and sit. I took the menu and started looking at what they have, and everything looked delicious. When the waiter came we ordered couple of thinks. People know I´m not really shy when it comes to food. Kaden and I were sited in silence, just watching each other. To an outsider it would probably look like we were having a private conversation. I hoped for that food to come soon, because I couldn´t take this silence anymore, but it wasn´t coming so I decided so start some conversation.

“How do you know about this place?” A guy like Kaden wouldn´t usually come to a place like this, he would go to some fancy restaurants. “The owner of this place is a family friend. I was a kid when I first came here, and feel in love with it. Every Sunday we would come here for lunch, and then one day I sow a sigh for closing on the window, when I asked why was it there, they explained it that they didn´t have the money for it anymore. I never noticed that it wasn´t running as well. So I went to my father and told him about it, so my father helped the old man to keep this place, soon we made some commercials for this place and it exploded, people around the world were coming to try the food here, especially they triple chocolate Sunday. I never stopped coming here, but sometimes I´m here on work days and sometimes on Sundays. “ well I never expected that, I never knew Kaden had that side of him, he actually looked happy talking about it. I wanted to now more about it. So I asked a lot of question, soon our food came and it was heavenly. I couldn´t get enough. But no matter what I always have place for dessert. And I ended up taking the famous Sunday. Thru the lunch me and Kaden were actually talking about lots of thing like this place, and our life´s. I even found myself genuinely laughing. I realised it was time to go back in the office. I didn´t want to, I wanted to stay there and talk. Kaden drove me back to the office and I realised we didn´t talk about the contract. When I told him about it he laughed and so did I, We forgot one thing why we were going for lunch. Kaden suggested that I come to his house after I´m done with work, and we will have dinner. I agreed and left. Soon my day went by and I was driving to Kaden´s place. I had a weird feeling like I was being followed, but soon I shrugged it off. When I got to Kaden´s he opened the door and let me in. Before the dinner was done we talked about the contract. We made a final one that I will send to my attorney, so we can sign it and be done with it. Thru the dinner we were talking about the upcoming weekend with Samuel, part of me was exited about it, and part of me no, but I guess we will see what will happen. We still don´t know where we are going but we know we need to pack light. I stayed at Kaden´s for quite some time, he suggested that I stay there, but I wasn´t going to we still need to keep this professionally. Kaden walked me to my car and opened the door for me, before I got in I had to say something for today and the day before.

“Kaden look, I wanted to apologise for how I acted yesterday, and thank you for today I really appreciate it. “ He smiled at me and said it wasn´t really a problem, that he didn´t take it to heart. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek and left. Again I had this feeling I was been followed, but I wasn´t sure. When I got home I felt happy and content with myself. The moment my head hit the pillow I was asleep. Morning came sooner then I expected. I got ready for another day of meetings and documents, but I like it. When I got in to the office Amy came running in and giving me the todays paper, I looked at her questionably, she told me to open page 5, so I did and I had to sit for what was in front of me. They were pictures of me and Kaden all over the page. When he opened the door for me in front of my office, in the restaurant, at his home when I came, others of me hugging him and kissing him on the cheek but here it looks like I´m actually kissing him. I was shocked about it, I mean it isn´t a bad thing because we are supposed to prove our relationship, but not like this, it was all over the internet ass well, I didn´t want everybody to find out this way, we are the topic of the month so I would be followed everywhere I go now. I hated being in the public eye. I called Kaden and he was shocked as I was. But we decided that we will just ignore it, but we will have to spend more time with each other now. The whole day I was getting calls from friends, colleagues, family and so on. I was tired of it already, I just wanted to get home. And soon I did, but Kaden to my house so we can see what can we do. He stayed for dinner and reporters were already in front of my building. We had a long discussion about this. We agreed that we will meet three to four time a week and go out on dates or just relax at our homes with each other, we need to be more careful now, everything can be twisted. In the morning we were everywhere, I hated it there were reporters in front of my building, and Kaden´s home as well. I just wanted it to end, and I was angry of myself, how did I not see them. I was in the office, doing my work when someone knocked on the door. I didn´t even lift my head from my desk and said “Come in.” I heard the door open, but I continued to do my work. “ Pleas sit down, I would be with you just in a sec.”

“When did you become so professional?” wait I knew that voice. Could it be… I lifted my head and I couldn´t believe with my eyes who was standing in front of me. I squealed and jumped from my chair and in to his arms.

“I can´t believe you are really here. When did you come back?” Aden just smiled at me and hugged me tighter.
