Loving you again

Chapter 2

Savannah couldn't sleep that night... she kept tossing and turning. She couldn't sleep. It's like those blue eyes haunted her. The turmoil in his eyes was something more then just a dissatisfaction, disappointment it was like he was in pain.

Savannah got up from her bed frustrated. She did have a small talk with him told him to follow his heart. Wait for what?! Who goes to a random stranger and says that!! Oh, wait.. she did. What must he think of her a complete freak and a desperate woman? But good thing she gave him one last smile and joined Mira before she could make a fool of herself.

Now her heart kept wondering would she see the handsome stranger again.

She couldn't help herself the next evening when she got dressed up in a pale pink dress and walked to the very same place she saw him yesterday.

She grinned like crazy and did a small Happy dance also when she saw him. "Now is your chance Savvy, don't blow it up. Act sane. Sophisticated." She gave herself a mental talk.

"I didn't know you work here," she said pulling her dark brown mane to one side and taking a seat near the bar counter.

Damon looked up, giving her a small rakish grin. "I started today. In fact, you are my eight customers. Tell me what could I get you, madam?"

Savannah shook her head with a small smile. Is it possible to get attracted to someone this fast?!

"One long island iced tea, please." She said.

" Coming right away," he said disappearing.

She kept eyeing him in meanwhile checking her phone. It was still very early and the club was not really busy. He came with her drink and stood against the bar counter.

"So Savannah Lane... Did you come here so that you could bump into me?" He asked giving her a grin.

Savannah choked on her drink.

"Hey.. easy there. I am just kidding" he said chuckling. But little did he know that was the truth.

"I am waiting for a friend... so where are you from Damon?"

"New York"

And just like that their first sober conversation went on. She came to know that he is a struggling musician and who was going on the road performing small gigs in famous clubs around.

He came to know that her friends are never on time and she works in her cousin's gift shop.

It was a very good night. Savannah loved the way Damon started coming towards her every time he was free.

That night it was the start of something new, something Amazing.

****

'Damon'

Savannah blinked rapidly, it can't be Damon. Her chest tightened. She was trying to breathe which felt like an impossible thing to do.

No, it can't be Damon. This guy, her boss's name is Liam... and he is a Campbell. But what were the odd's of him looking exactly like Damon, her Damon?

Right! None!

Her boss, Liam snapped his fingers and that got her attention. "Who are you?"

Savannah wet her lips with her tongue, "I am the new assistant" she said in a small voice.

"Oh.. yeah.. Belinda did mention of a new assistant. And do you have any idea where Belinda might be? Ms..?"

He asked.

"Lane... Savannah Lane. And she went on a coffee run. She must back anytime now." Savannah said but her eyes were roaming everywhere her heart was begging to call him Damon.

"Don't make it that Obvious, Ms. Lane!" he said shaking his head with a small smile.

Savannah couldn't understand what he was talking about until.....oh.. he must be thinking I am ogling at him.

A chuckle escaped her lips. "It's just that you look like someone I know Mr.Campbell," she said. He isn't her Damon. Her Damon isn't a prince of Campbell business empire. He was a musician.

Liam c****d an eyebrow up, "who?"

'My lost love' her heart said, Savvy smiled at him "A friend" she said.

"Well I bet he can't be as handsome as me Ms.Lane," he said giving her a lopsided grin.

Now, what would the answer to that question be if having in front of her the exact replica of the man. She just smiled at him and said, "If you say so, sir."

The lift doors opened with ting and Belinda walked through with a coffee cup in her hand.

"Mr.Campbell Here is your coffee," Belinda said rushing towards Mr.Campbell.

"Belinda, from tomorrow send Ms. Lane for the coffee runs I want to her to know when and how I take my coffee. And also start briefing her everything I don't want any confusion when you are gone." He said and turned towards Savannah and said, " Welcome to Campbell Corp, Ms. Lane, and stop thinking about your friend" he added with a chuckle.

Savannah sighed and turned towards Belinda. "I see you have already met him," Belinda said with a chuckle. " Be aware he is a charmer."

Savannah couldn't keep herself from frowning. But kept quiet. " Just get to the work you were assigned. I'll brief you later."

Savannah sat down in her chair and let out a sigh. What was happening in her life? It isn't fair that her boss looks exactly the same as her boyfriend. A lost love she is waiting for.

It easily took Savannah all morning to complete the assembling the papers in order and she didn't even see a shadow of Campbell.

"Hey Savannah, let's go have lunch," Belinda said looking at her.

"Yeah... I am almost done here. Let me just to wrap it up." She said not knowing where to keep it.

"Oh... just let them be there we could come back and I would tell you what to do with them and do your briefing. Please just take the blue file to Mr.Campbell. 3floors down is the cafeteria. Come fast I'll be waiting for you." She said and rushed towards the lift.

Savvy took the blue file and walked towards Liam's office. She pulled her hair of the ponytail.

She knocked on the door and waited until his rich baritone voice asked her to come in.

Liam was very distractedly watching his screen and frowning. His suit coat was hanging from his chair and the top two buttons of his white shirt are opened. His hair was disheveled as if he ran a hand through them many times.

Savvy suddenly froze in her steps, she just a glimpse of Damon in Liam. How could to people be this similar looking.

"Would you just keep staring at me, Ms. Lane?" He asked not looking at her.

Savannah found her voice immediately, "No sir, Belinda just asked me to give the file."

"Place it on the desk", he said dismissively.

Savannah turned as soon as she placed the file on the table. She almost walked out. Almost.

"Mr. Campbell" she couldn't help but call.

"Yes, Ms.Lane?" he said still not looking at her.

"Do you have a brother or a cousin who looks exactly like you?" She asked.

That got Liam's attention, he looked up from the screen, "Not that I know of, why?" he asked amused.

Savannah flushed she couldn't believe herself she asked her boss that. She gave him a little embarrassed smile, "Oh.. nothing sir. Just forget I asked that."

Liam chuckled, he thought Savannah was just making up the story about her friend but she is being pretty serious about that. Liam wondered how exactly her friend looked to him for her to ask him about his brothers.

Savannah muttered a small sorry and walked away quietly.

How stupid can you be Savvy?! She scolded herself.

"Ms.Lane" someone called and Savvy was startled.

"Yes, Ms. Ballinger," she said politely smiling at Ava.

"You should go for your lunch."

"Yes Maam, I am on my way" she replied.

Ava gave one last look at Savvy and went inside Liam's office. She popped her head out again and said, "Ms.Lane.. cancel all Liam's Afternoon appointments."

Before Savvy could formulate a reply, she was gone.

***

Once they came back after lunch. Liam was nowhere in the office. The complete floor was silent. Belinda briefed her about her work. She explained to her where what goes, where the files are kept, with companies they have tie-ups with.

The afternoon was fun, she loved how easily Belinda has explained everything. Savannah noted everything in her diary.

Belinda was expecting and she was taking a maternity leave from coming Monday. So, Savvy should learn everything within a week.

"Hey... I have a doctor's appointment. I have to rush. However, you are supposed to work till 5. So, why don't you just do the easy work today? Enter the data from files into the system. You have the whole floor to yourself. Have fun. If you are too tired or bored. I suggest you sleep. I know it's a piece of bad advice but it well no one comes up except Mr. Campbell. But I am sure he will not come. I heard he has a date with Ava."

Oh yeah.. the office gossip. That Ms.Ballinger and Mr. Campbell are dating. Belinda did mention it when she told her to cancel all Liam's appointments and that Ms. Ballinger told her so.

Savvy shook her head with a smile, " All the best" she said as Belinda exited the floor.

Her first day and she has the whole office to herself. Lucky her. It was already three so more two hours to go. Frankly speaking minus her boss looking exactly like her boyfriend the day was good. She enjoyed her day. She was looking forward to. From all that she gathered Mr.Campbell was a cool guy, he was not one of those psycho bosses.

Fifteen minutes into the typing she got bored so she pulled out her phone to play some music and what does she have in her phone you may ask, of course, it is musician boyfriend favorite and suggested playlist. Few songs after the list there came the one song she loved listening to him sing.

The very first time he sang this.... the time she wished all the lyrics he sang were true... she could still after three years listen to him singing to her ... go back to the memory....cozy couch beer in her hand and him singing.....

"Wise men say

Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?"

Her small little heart already started beating fast. He would just look at her and she was melting into a puddle.

She loved singing out and now that no one was around she started singing

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?

Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?"

"Please, Ms.Lane you couldn't sing to save a life." She heard Liam say.

First day and the number of time she embarrassed herself infront of him- "Thrice".

Shit.
