CHRISTOPHER

*

'This morning Christopher didn't know what he was going to get himself into when he woke up. "Then it's a deal?" Trinity looked at Christopher he didn't look bad "Deal."'

*

Being given his father’s company Christopher was still having people come after the company. After almost weeks of people rejecting him. He was finally able to pinpoint a meeting with a marketing company.

Walking into a coffee shop that was recommended to him by a friend that goes there daily and has his meetings there to saying the services here is amazing. It already had a cozy feel to it as you walk into the warm air and smell of coffee. At the front desk was a girl staring off into space getting her attention she stutters over her words.

She was quite the catch her red hair and earthy green eyes seem to drag him in.

“Yes, is there a meeting room reserved here?” Christopher smiles at Trinity. Not noticing that Trinity had started to bite her lip Christopher stares at her. It’s no lie he was good looking being 6′2 with raven black hair and broad shoulders most girl fawn over him.

“Ma’am?” She apologies as Christopher chuckles at her cuteness. They all follow as she leads them to a meeting room in the back of the shop. She welcomes them in “Here you are and If you need anything my name is Trinity.” closing the door as she leaves.

Missing her presence as the room now gets tense as they start getting down to business. It’s only been ten minutes and the atmosphere is getting worse. Every offer they give Christopher will just make the company worse or even fall. ‘It’s like they’re trying to run me out of business’ he thought to himself. The door to the room opens expecting Trinity to walk through only to be disappointed to see a boy with brown hair. He goes around to everyone asking what they want. “How can I help you?” he makes his way to Christopher.

“A Coffee please.. and just bring me a handful of sugar.”

Readying to leave Christopher stops him again “And fresh cookies and bagels!” Jack writes that down leaving only to return with coffee as requested. Jack hands Christopher a hand full of sugar and cream.

Thanking him he leaves. Diving back into business talk again time seems to slow down Christopher feeling as if he’s been there for an entirety. As the door is slammed opened coming threw is Trinity. Christopher couldn’t help but smile at how clumsy she is by almost tripping.

“Sorry just here to clean up carry on.” her quietly shy response make Christopher smile bigger. Even if no one could see it behind his hands. Christopher tried his best to pay attention to the meeting that was going on about buying a company.

“That’s why we should fund Company A. Company B is much smaller and could take much more investment and years to build.” Christopher watches Trinity’s face scrunches up. He thought that was the cutest face he just saw.”That is a horrible Idea” he hears her mutter

Getting closer to him, Christopher stops the meeting. The way he watched her explaining made it seem like she knew what she was talking about. Now this made him question ‘what’s a person knowable in business doing working as an employee in a coffee shop?’ This was a question indeed he thought.

Picking up the cup in front of him Christopher walks up to Trinity. “That was a brilliant decision you made.”A small giggle left her mouth as Christopher watch her abruptly bite her lip.

A blush started to creep on to Trinity’s face. He was just loving macking the girl that stood two feet away from him blush and laugh. “Uh... Thank you. I should get... t-the rest of your order.” Trinity left quicker then Christopher wanted her too.

Everyone returning to there seats and a new person steps ups to demonstrate his project. Not too long after the door opens again.“Alright here is your-” The sound of glass fills the whole room.

Rushing to trinity side he grabbed her hand blood was oozing out from the cut. “Can you stand?” Trinity pulled her hand away. What was wrong did she not want his help “I’m fine I can handle this myself”.

He didn’t care if she could take care of herself “Can.You.Stand?” The slightest nod and Christopher pulled her up and out the room and into his car.

Today had been an eventful one for Christopher he didn't think he'd rush out the coffee shop with the lady next to him. Yet here he was taking her to the ER. "How are you holding up?"

The blood was seeping threw his blue tie making the tie a shade darker. "Yea I think I'm holding up for the moment." Christopher nodded and kept driving. The car ride there was quite and Christopher wanted to hear her voice more. Nonetheless, they were still quite by the time they got there.

At the ER Christopher walked in "Is Doctor Harvy here?" The receptionist lady at the front looked like she just wanted to leave not paying Christopher no mind. "Yes, sir he's in his office at the moment". Walking off without saying thanks to the lady then pops up

"Wait you can't go back there!"

Pulling Trinity threw many people and nurses to the back of the ER to a door with the name 'Doctor Harvey'. He opened the door there sitting in the desk stood Harvey his glasses sitting on his the brim of his nose as blue eyes lookup in a shock. "Lillian I-"

The man seemed surprised "-Christopher what are you doing here?" Harvey's eye trailed down behind his old friend to the shy girl hiding behind him. "Who this?" Christopher pulled at her hand that he was still holding very firmly, but not so hard to hurt her.

Harvey takes Trinity's hand removing the bloody tie wrapped around it. She winced in pain as the glassed shard comes into view. Seeing the blood Trinity turned away she couldn't stand the sight of her blood. Tears started to brim in Trinity's eyes next to Christopher he noticed she doesn't take to well to pain and blood.

"This is bad how did this happen" Harvy look up to the two.

"I tripped and fell-"

"No!" Christopher said louder than he thought "In the meeting I had Tom tripped her while she was carrying plates of food because she corrected his business plan." Trinity looked surprised 'he saw that' she thought to herself. "Follow me."

The two followed Harvey down the halls of the ER to a room, and Trinity following behind like a lost puppy. "Sit" Harvy points to a chair sitting and waiting for her next command. Taking Trinity's hand she starts to cry as he slowly takes the glass out. Christopher was uncomfortable with Trinity crying silently not taking to well with girls crying at all.

"Which one is your dominate hand" Trinity frowned and looked at her right hand with blood still oozing out.

"My right hand" Harvey sighed "You can't use your had at all!"

"What!" Trinity looked serious "How am I supposed to work or do anything for a fact!" Harvey started to wrap Trinity's hand in a cloth "You'll have to take a leave from work." Christopher looked over at Trinity as she had a pouty face 'Does she like to work that much?' he thought.

Taking off his gloves Harvy was heading to the door. "I can write you a slip, but you need to stay off that hand for a week tops."

"A week!" Trinity fussed back "A Week." Harvey said back firmly to her leaving the room. "and here I was thinking it just be a cut." Christopher looked at the way she puffed out her cheeks 'is this how she acts when she mad?' He thought to himself can someone be any cuter.

"Since It's kinda my fault your hands like this why don't I help you?" Trinity looked like she was in thought "Not to be rude thank you for bringing me here." She stopped then looking at her hand "I don't even know you" her voice trailed off. Christopher realized what she meant. "I'm trying to help with what my actions have caused." Thinking she looked back up to Christopher "I guess a little help wouldn't be bad?"

This morning Christopher didn't know what he was going to get himself into when he woke up. "Then it's a deal?" Trinity looked at Christopher he didn't look bad "Deal."
