Meant to be but will never be

“ I can’t believe they did that, I’m so going to get back at Mel for doing this” I said, laughing, as I sipped my white wine pushing the plate of chef salad that was almost gone aside, it didn’t take long for us to find out that this was all a set up, James and Mel setup for us, we were actually in a blind date without even knowing it, those rascals

“ I should have known the moment James told me it was a top end restaurant, that man is so stingy” said dean laughing, and I couldn't help but like the way he laughed it was macho, gruff and it made me smile, I was actually liking his company

“ I can’t even afford this restaurant, I actually work here” I told him, and his face twisted in anger

“ why do you work here, you’re a doctor, and that should be your passion not working this restaurant” he whisper shouted making me angry I knew it was too good to be true

“ what makes you think being a doctor is not my passion, unlike you Dean I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, working here is the only reason why I have finished my studies as a doctor, so don’t you dare question me like that again” I answered angrily glaring at him, and I saw guilt in his eyes, good he should feel guilty

“ I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, just the thought of you working here with that bartender got better of Me.” he said not realizing he was admitting to being jealous of a Lucas, what was wrong with him?, we were not really married, does he like me?, I thought now blushing the anger and confusing melting

“ Its fine, let’s just finish our meal and get out of here” I said, finishing what was left of my salad, it was the only thing, I could afford in this place, and a glass of wine of course

“ I was not born with a silver spoon or any spoon in fact” he said, sipping his glass of scotch, and wincing a bit as it touched his throat

“I worked hard for everything I had, from a young age, I was actual raised in a group home” he told me, and I felt bad for lashing out, but he was still an asshole, until I could prove otherwise

“ I’m sorry for assuming, you just seem like those rich brats” I told him the truth

“ I know, I don’t mean to but I can't help it when It comes to you!” he said, finishing his scotch and going to the cashier to pay for our dinner, and I stood up rushing after him, he must be crazy if he thinks, he will pay for my food this was not a date, and I was there as he handed the card to Naomi the cashier

“ hey Naomi, I will pay for my half thanks” I said, smiling, and Dean turned to glare at me and I smiled innocently

“ Naomi, is it?” he asked and Naomi nodded blushing red, and it didn’t sit right with me but I shrugged it off

“ I’m paying for everything, don’t mind my wife” he said, making Naomi eyes go wide with shock and I groaned, why does this man keep telling people, I'm his wife? Yes, technically I was, but this marriage was not real

“ Sorry, Tammy I didn’t know you were marriage” she said, swiping the card, and I mumbled 'neither did I' but the night was not over yet, my manager who actually was the one to see the marriage certificate first came rushing as we were about to go

“ Tammy wait, why didn’t you tell me you were here! Is this the secret husband you being hiding from us?” he asked as more of my co-workers came closer smiling at me, and I actually had to fake a smile as Dean grinned like an i***t, asshole!

“ yes, it is and I didn’t want to disturb any of you while working” I lied

“I’m doctor Dean Swingger” he said, extending his hand to my manager for a handshake, and his other hand came to my waist pulling me close to him, and I really wanted to punch his face, he was enjoying this, enjoying my embarrassing moment, they exchange greeting and had small talks as my colleagues congratulated me, my manager wanted to pay for the dinner, but he refused the i***t, and I finally pulled him, so we could leave this circus, making them make cute noises making me blush they acted like children sometimes
