CHAPTER 16
*DEVON MCNIGHT*
It’s been months since I saw Brandon. It was the day when he said that he must do overseas for some jobs. His last expression was still clear to my mind.
I bet his legs are now healed.
“When is he coming back?” I asked Wiliiam. He already knew about Brandon and me, I skipped the confession part. It would be awkward for me to tell that to him.
“I don’t really know, he didn’t tell me anything about it.” He said.
I’m kind of confused of why was he acting that way.
Well William and I have been doing great. I had so much fun when ever I’m with him. Though it’s hard sometimes because of what other people are thinking about us. I’m glad that he doesn’t spoil me from working, because at the start he does.
He’s kind of acting like a brat sometimes especially when he wants coffee, he like the ones that I made, I don’t know why. But I like it though. I can feel the genuine feeling of William towards me, I mean a girl can feel it, instincts is what they call them.
He always finds time for both of us to have private time together even in our busy schedules.
“I missed you.” He said after a week of going to other places. He’s arms are around my waist, we are in the office. Rest assured we closed the curtains, besides it’s still early.
“Aw really?” I said, acting like I don’t believe him.
He raised his eyebrow. “You don’t believe me?”
“Well you have to prove it then.” I said with a smirk, slightly in a flirty way.
He understood what I meant and immediately filled me with kisses. He kissed me in the nose, through my neck, that made me ticklish, then down to my lips.
“I missed you too.” I said smiling at him, and kissed him again. We were so into it that his hands are starting to move through my body, touching the parts that made me moans.
“William were in the office.” I said being ticklish.
“So?” he said, he’s lips are still locked to mine. I gave in though. This hot man is my boyfriend and he’s my boss. I can’t seem to stop him. I smirked at my own thought, I feel so flirty.
We are making out when we heard a knock on the door.
“William..” I struggled of freeing my self from his caressing arms. He growled. “There’s someone at the door.”
“I don’t care.” He kissed me again.
“William!” I exclaimed, this is the only way that I can snap him back t reality. He sighed with disappointment.
“Fine!” We composed ourselves, well mostly arranged our clothes because it’s kind or messy. He walked through the door.
“Yes?” He said.
“Am Mr. Walter wants to talk to you.” Carmen handed the phone to William. I just stood there anxiously, wanting to know what are they going to talk about. And it’s from Brandon. It’s been months already since I’ve heard from him, well not in details though.
“Hello?” William said. “Yeah…sure..I’ll take care of it….ok see you soon.” William hang up. He looked at me.
“What did he say?” I asked.
“His coming back tomorrow.” He said shortly. He walked towards me, and kissed me gently, “Now where were we?” I smirked went out from hi face.
“Time’s up mister. It’s time for work.” I said. I chuckled as I saw him pouted like a kid.
We started our day, working and stuff. But I can’t help but think about tomorrow. Brandon will be back. I got confused when suddenly left with out explaining his attitude towards me. So I want to confront him.
I woke next morning feeling excited. I don’t know why I feel this way.
I drove my way to the city and went to the office an hour extra early. I had to prepare things for the meeting. There aren’t many people around yet. The elevator stopped at the 15th floor where my office is located, Same with Brandon they have the same floor with William.
I put my stuff down at my desk and went to the Xerox machine to photocopy some documents when I bump into something hard and dark. I looked up. I saw the stunningly beautiful face of the person that I haven’t seen for almost five months. Brandon Walter standing in front me wearing a dark colored suit.
“Hi.” I said not knowing what to say.
“Hi.” He said back with his killer smile. “long time no see.”
“Yeah.” I am so speechless. I knew he was coming today, but I didn’t expect to bump into him early in the morning. “Why are you so early?”
“Well I have to make up for the time that I haven’t been here, so I just reviewed some documents that was piled up in my table.” He said and shrugged his shoulder.
He was talking all normal, and here I am feeling all nervous like talking to my highschool crush for the first time. He looks so different. I stared at him, I can feel that something has changed with this person. I noticed that he’s not on a wheel chair anymore, of course he does, how stupid of me.
“I know I’m hot, so stop staring at me like that.” I jerked my head when I heard him broke the silence. He’s smiling. I’m glad that he is still normal.
I sighed. “Glad you’re still normal.” I said under my breath.
“What? Did you just say, that I’m hot?” He said jokingly.
I glared at him. “Shut up you are still a jerk.” I said but smiling at the same time.
“I know right.” He patted my head. That was a first. Then he walked towards his own office.
“Brandon.” I said, he turned his head back at me. “Welcome back.” I said honestly.
He waved his hands back at me while walking. I don’t know why but I blushed.
William arrives thirty minutes later. He and Brandon talked like hours. I didn’t bother to interrupt their conversation, I just mind my own business, I mean it’s awkward that me, my boyfriend, and the friend of my boyfriend who was my enemy as a child and confessed to me that he likes me five months ago would be in the same room. Well William didn’t know about it yet though.
Finally they both went out.
“Let’s have lunch.” Brandon said with a smile on his face. I looked at William, confused.
“He wants us to meet his ‘girlfriend’.” William said quoting in the air the word girlfriend. Hearing that word I felt that something stabbed me from the heart. He went abroad and after five months he has a ‘girlfriend’?
“Ah sure.” Is all that I can say.
We went to a fancy restaurant. Very classy that I hope I can still change my clothes, but I can’t. We waited for like ten minutes when a drop-dead-gorgeous blonde appeared in front of us.
“Brandon!” She said almost screaming, I can sense that she is a mean girl, I just know it.
“Victoria.” Brandon said, then kissed her. It seems that they forgot that were here.
I cleared my throat, because I might puke of what I’m seeing right now.
“I’m sorry, Let me introduce to you Victoria Lopez.” Brandon said, again I felt I stab deepening to my heart.
“Hi.” He said while Brandon took her to her seat.
“You got big time there.” William said. “But mine is bigger.” He cleared it out when I threw a deadly glare at him.
“You must be William, and you’re….” she said with a British accent, she shook William’s hand, she looked at me from head to toe. “Devin. Right?” She smiled cockily. I knew it. She’s a b***h.
“Devon Mcknight.” I corrected her and wore my devilish smirk I could possibly possess. I won’t lose to s**t like her.
“Well lets order then.” Brandon said.
We ate our lunch, the ambiance was heavy due to this arrogant blonde that keeps on bragging stuff, like she was a model, her family have been to many cruises. Which of course I felt so out of place; because both William and Brandon are agreeing to her how beautiful those places were cause they’ve been there too. But I manage to control my anger and my eyebrow from rising.
“How about you Devin, where did you spend you week end?” She is so pretending not to know my name. Childish trick, I won’t fall for that b***h.
“Well, I just stayed home with my friends.” I told her honestly, that made her mouth fell open.
“So you haven’t been to places like Paris or Greece..” She saying some bull, I looked at Brandon staring at him sending a message ‘stop-her-or-else-I-will-rip-her-neck-off-from-her-body. “..you must have been to cruises.” She continued. I smiled with no interest. Brandon must have gotten my message that he changed the topic.
That was the longest irritating lunch that I ever had. I just thank God that I manage to control myself or else, I would be in prison right now for killing a blonde slut
I went home that day feeling do down, Brandon went back, yes I’m happy about that. But bringing that biach. I have so many nicknames. It is so annoying.
Thinking about it, well I don’t really have the right to feel this way.
And by the way to myself, why do I feel this way?
