726 Words
"Sir, we have arrive" Alfred said bringing me out of slumber, then he exited the car and opened the door for me and Lara.
"Oh ok" I said, trying to exit too, but something or someone was holding me back. When I looked at the shoulder, Lara was sleeping on my shoulder and holding my hands tight.
Ok, this is weird. I feel irritated right now. Why would be resting on stranger's shoulder? OK, she married a stranger, but that is different. But this feels right, no, no, no, no, it can't feel right. I don't even know her so I can't trust her. She can ......
Alfred coughed, interrupting me from my thoughts
"Oh sorry, pick the load from the other car and take it to her room. We are coming" I said.
"OK sir" he said with his usual serious face and voice and left.
"Hey" I said, tapping her lightly to wake her up.
"Aghhh, what do you want from ime?" she said frustrated and stretching, then went back to sleep, which made me smile. I think she does not like people waking her up. Wait, why am I smiling? I said wiped the smile from my face.
"Hey, wake up, we've arrived" i said again, tapping her on her cheek lightly, which woke her up.
She just looked at me which also caught me in a trans.
We just kept looking at each other for some minutes in silence.
"Oh sorry" she said pushing herself away from me breaking our connection. Wait why am I calling it a connection, we don't have any connection.
I just kept looking at the front seat while she arranged herself.
"So you said we have arrived" she said maybe trying to bring some humor.
"Oh hey, that's true" I said, rushed down and round the car to open the door for her, it is not so bad to be a gentle man.
"Thank you" she said getting down from the car and started moving to the door of the small villa.
When we got to the door, my butler, Stephen, opened the door for us.
"Good evening sir & ma'am" he said bowing a little for us as we go in.
"What do you even need a butler for? To clean your drink mess" Lara murmured not knowing I heard it.
I'm already used to that by now.
"So welcome to my humble abode. Stephen here will give you a tour around the house" I said pointing at Stephen.
"And Stephen" I gestured for him to come closer and he did immediately leaving Lara standing confused at the front door.
"Show her around the house except for my room, also tell her that no one is allowed to enter my room without my permission, got that" I said
"Yes sir" he said in his British accent. I left him to do the rest and went to my room where Gabriel is already waiting for me.
"Nathan, i heard a rumor that our company’s competitor has planted a spy in the company. I don’t really know why? Maybe it’s because nowadays their company stock is reducing. So maybe it will..” Gabriel just kept on talking and walking towards the office at the left side of the room.
“Ahhhh, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, tsssk tsk I’m so ashamed of you” I said jokingly
“What did I do?” He said still not getting the point while he arranged the paperworks on our desk
“Your best friend just got married, you couldn’t even congratulate me. So you are so wicked” I said wiping a fake tears from my eyes
“Stop overreacting, you don’t even know the girl. I can’t congratulate you for marry someone that you don’t even know. Let’s just hope she is okay then I can congratulate you” he just kept talking while arranging without even looking at me.
“No matter what? You should at least congratulate me” I said standing at the bed side and folding my hands on my chest
“Stop being a big baby, congratulations bro” he said then walk to me and slapped my back.
Ok that was painful a little
“Thanks bro” I said then slapped him too on his back and he went to what he was doing.
