Our eyes finally break the contact.
“You seriously left me there scared.” She says furiously. I really forgot her. Looks like she is gonna kill me today. I need to think of something.
“No, no how can I forget about you? Actually I was afraid that if you will see it again then you will be more scared so I just came to leave it outside. So you won’t see it.” I say with a nervous smile. Hope she will believe me. It is also partly true. She would have been afraid if she saw it but I was more concerned the little thing.
“Really!” She asks questioningly.
“Of course. You thought I will just forget you for a cute little spider.” Guess I am saved.
“CUTE!! LITTLE!! It was so hairy and scary. And it was almost 20 cm’s.” Oh s**t.
“Hairy and scary. It rhymed right. Haha.” I say with fake nervous laugh.
“And It was just almost 11 cm’s. Huntsman spider’s can’t grow that big. Stop exaggerating.” She is about to say something when the i***t who started the whole thing comes and says,
“Man! You really forgot me for a girl. You left me there with that b***h. She escaped cause I let her otherwise??” He says holding his face in pain.
“b***h!? Who are you calling that huh you punched face? And otherwise what?” Olivia is really angry and so am I no matter what happens no one dares to say anything to my best friend.
But who was he calling to? I turn to him and everything is clear now.
“Mr. Lewis where you involved?” I say narrowing my eyes. Don’t tell me he was.
“Of course, not.” He says looking everywhere but at me.
“Stop. Rather then fighting why don’t we just talk it out.” He says hoping for peace but!!
After half an hour
Olivia and the guy whose name happened to Brian are yelling at each other from last 30 minutes. I wanted to stand up for Vi at first but soon realized that I can’t keep up. It’s worse then two high school queen bee’s fighting
cause they wore the same dress for prom.
“It’s getting late should I drop you home.” Mr. Devil says. No.. Mr. Lewis. He isn’t that bad. Rather then taking sides we both have been sitting there listening to them fight. It’s quite funny actually.
“OK. But Olivia.” I say looking at her.
“We need to stop this.” he says with determination.
Why does this give me high school feeling which although I was home schooled?
We through hard work and determination.. sorry.. from a lot of begging and using up all our energies to stop them from fighting. Although it wasn’t much difficult for him. We succeeded.
Mr. Lewis drops me and Olivia at home. And he also called someone to pick up Brian.
As soon as we reached home, Olivia crashed in bed not even bothering to change. I got changed, took off my make and feel asleep the moment I hit my bed. I missed you my dreamland.
Fred’s p.o.v.
I am lying in the bed thinking about what happened today. Just thinking about her makes me smile. Although I have seen so many beautiful girls who throw themselves at me she is really different. She can get my attention without even trying. Just by thinking how gorgeous she looked today makes me speechless. At first I thought she is so much like my Aisha (His lost love) but they are really different. She is so stubborn and silly. But sometimes she says and does such mature things it really makes me aww. Not to mention how cute she looks when she is mad.
My thoughts are suddenly interrupted by my phone vibrating in the side table of my bed. I look at the number and its my detective whom I told to do a background check on Castiel and her daughter Lily.
Fred: Tell me what you got! (I am too anxious for formalities.)
Detective: Hello! Mr. Lewis. Sorry to call you so la-…
Fred: Cut the crap and get to point. (I say sternly.)
Detective: Oh.. Ok.. I did some research and as you suspected I am sure she doesn’t have a daughter. Let alone be pregnant she haven’t even been in any relation. Marriage is out of question. She moved to the city almost 3 years ago from her home town.
Fred: Hmm ok! (I want scream right now. I am so happy. I knew it. But it wouldn’t matter much. As long as she doesn’t love anyone else.) Then did you know anything about little girl then. Why is she living with her?
Detective: No sir! But I have sent some of my people to her home town search if they get any information about her and the little girl. But till now no information.
Fred: Ok! Stop searching for now. I will tell you if I need anything. (Cause I really feel guilty about it. She must be really mad if she knows about so it’s better to stop it as soon as possible and not let her know.)
Detective: I got it Mr. Lewis. I will tell them to stop right away.
I end the call and take a breath. I can sleep peacefully now. I close my eyes and my head is filled by her pictures. I fall asleep smiling and thinking about her.
Monday morning, 8:20 am
Lily’s p.o.v.
I am gonna get late. Lily is having her breakfast. I take a toast and shovel it in my mouth and take a sip of my orange juice. I wave a bye to Lily and Vi and make my way through the corridor. Elevators are not working today and I will have to take the stairs. Just from thinking about down he stairs from 4th floor makes me groan. And not to even start at these heels. They are gonna kill me. It shouldn’t be called being ‘professional’ but ‘torturing your legs’ by wearing a 4 inch heel everyday. I reach ground floor breathing heavily but the biggest surprise was waiting me downstairs. An SUV but most importantly its Mr. Lewis car. I go and knock on the window and he lowers the window.
“Good morning Mr. Lewis. What are you doing here?” I ask confused.
“Morning. Get in I am going to office as well.” he says looking forward with out any emotions.
“But if we go toge-” I don’t want to hear stupid rumors again. Although I don’t care but it is still better to avoid.
“I said get in. You don’t need to worry about rumors. And don’t forget who is the boss.” He says finally looking at me but I look away immediately not to repeat yesterday’s incident.
“Yes boss.” I say and quickly slip in the car.
After half an hour of awkward silence
“Mr. Lewis. Actually I was thinking what were you doing near my apartment? I mean like… uh….” I ask confused. What was he doing there actually?
“I was just passing by.” He says sounding nervous.
“Passing by? But both your house and office are in other direction.” Something feels weird.
“I was just wanted to eat out so I came here.” He says nervously.
“For fast food?” There aren’t much good restaurants near this area except fast food restaurants but he??
“Yaa. Can’t I?”
“No.. No. I didn’t mean that.” But they aren’t open at this time. What is going on? What a bad liar. So, did he came for me? No. Can’t be? Calm down Cas your imagination is at it’s peak. Get realistic.
We reach at the office and I push all the thoughts aside. Girl gotta Get Back To Work.
