Decided By Fate

Breakfast

He was hugging me so tight, and my breath caught when he said “You’re Mine Bella” “Are you drunk?” “No” “Then?” Just when he was about to answer, we were called for cake cutting and other formalities, and we did not get a chance to talk after that. What did he mean? Unable to sleep at night, I continued working on the project’s marketing strategy and I don’t remember when I slept. I jolted awake at my phone’s ringing. Yawning, I answered the phone, without checking the caller id. “Still sleeping? Are you sick?” “Liam!...No I am alright” I checked the time while I was talking “s**t. I am late” “That you are” he said chuckling. “Just great late on the third day.” “I will pick you up in 20, is it enough for you to get ready?” “Absolutely” I did not cut the call and rushed towards the washroom to do my business. In 15 mins I was done showering as well. All I had to do was select what to wear. Without thinking much I pulled a white shirt and blue denim jeans. I brushed my wet hair just a little to avoid frizz, and put on a lip-gloss. I was drinking water when the bell rang. Liam was standing looking handsome as ever. “Would you like to come in?” “Sure” He sat and drank from the glass of water kept there. “Liam!” “What?” “I had drank from that glass, I will bring another for you” “Don’t mind” I had the most shocked expression on my face, Liam the cleanliness freak drank from my glass! “I have brought breakfast” “Let’s have it while going to office” “kay, and we were held up at some meeting” “Nice one” i was smiling inwardly Liam brought me breakfast, drank water from my used glass and now he’s going to lie for me! Wait! Why did I agree to go with him? All in a hurry, I forgot, I had to avoid him. Why am I so clumsy? Frustrated. Bygones are bygones!

I saw Bella had emailed the strategy at 4 in the morning. She might have pulled an all-nighter. I will call her after the meeting. I had a meeting at 8, near her apartment. I have to find a way to move her to the company's pent-house. She will be close to me. As expected she fell asleep doing the work. Let me carry her favorite breakfast. She is dressed up simply, but she looks quite attractive. Because of her hair, her shirt got wet at certain places. Emm. I need water. No one can see her like this. “Start eating the breakfast” “Hmm, let me see what you got for me” she’ll surely love it, I know. “Wow Liam, Thank you so much, I had been craving for waffles for a long time.” I nodded, smiling at her reaction, these little things are enough to bring a smile to her face. “Have it” she brought waffles to my mouth as I was driving and I took a bite, deliberately lingering on her fingers for long. My Dirty Mind.

I was so happy that Liam brought waffles for me. As he was driving I thought of feeding him, I can do this much for him. He had a meeting early in the morning, and he surely did not eat anything. He licked my fingers, which sent a shiver down my spine. Wide-eyed I glanced at him, but he was busy driving. I am thinking too much. My Dirty Mind. But it happened every time I fed him, now I am not sure. Luckily we arrived at the office soon, my hair was all dried now. Liam had moved the fan towards me, so that I could dry my hair, though he did not say anything, I have started understanding him, at least this much. I gave a presentation on how we will advertise our product for the new project, introducing customer feedback features in a little different way. “We can reward some customers' feedback, depending upon the reality of it. It would bring us numerous reviews, people will try our product and post them, to win the prizes” “So what will be our ground of selecting the winners?” Drew asked, already knowing my answer because I had already asked him about our customer database. “The ones who are needy, we do have a customer database, where customers feed their monthly income, we can decide on that basis. It is good if we introduce a social message and cause this and obviously without disclosing it before, otherwise we’ll have some fraudsters.” “Let’s go with this plan” Liam said and left the meeting.

“Baby girl, you were late today, and no need to explain. I know why, I saw your early morning email” “I don’t know when I slept” “I think you should move in the company’s pent-house, which is on the top-floor, it will be easy for you. We have a lot of load for the upcoming month” “I will think about it Drew” Hmm, that is a good idea, i will end up working late in the office and I may get late while coming as well. I should make Drew a call to do all the arrangements. “Drew can I move in today?” “Sure, I will make the arrangements” “Thank you, you’re a savior” “No problem little one.”

I got all my things from the apartment to the pent-house. It has 4 rooms, a kitchen, a big hall and a balcony with a swimming pool. Really nice view, I should unpack now, but which room shall I pick? The first room I opened was a study, with lots and lots of books, someone lives here, surely. The next room I opened was almost unused, I will check the rest of the rooms later on. But I forgot to ask Drew if I have to share the space with anyone else. I will give him a call after preparing dinner. I took a relaxing bath, and went to the kitchen to prepare some pasta. I should cook more, I will keep some just in case I work tonight. The pasta was almost ready when I felt someone behind me and I couldn’t control it. I shouted and was about to fall when a strong pair of arms caught me. I had the strange feeling of knowing who this person is, praying for me to be wrong.
