East Lobby

Chapter 3 Angelina POV

Angelina POV

After dropping Sterling off at Ms.Blanche’s I arrived to work on time somehow with 15 minutes to spare. I clock-in with the thought I could go up to the break room for a coffee break.

*please get the Carmel cappuccino* Adeline pleaded, I roll my eyes and I place my cup at the machine and press the buttons.

“Oh fancy, seeing you here…”

I practically jump out of my skin startled at the familiar voice behind me.

“Jesus chri- I mean you caught me off guard” I nervous laugh like an i***t again. I look up at him noticing in my heels I’m still not even taller than him, he’s got to be at least 5ft10in tall compared to my 5ft1in without heels it self. Our faces meet with soft smiles. “Hehe, here for coffee sir?” I ask politely. He nods. I grab my cup and lightly bump into him nearly spilling my hot drink all over him and his suit that probably cost more than my car payment.

“I’m so sorry!” I plead, basically mortified of the possible consequences.

“It’s fine, no harm done. See?” He gestured to himself that he is fine.

I sigh with relief, “I’ll see you around Mr. Miller” I smile and I walk down the hallway to the elevator.

Stepping in with the mail buggy and carrier guy. I look over to the mailman and he looks at me. A wierd feeling fills in the small cubic space. He looks down at his mail, “Angelina?” He questions and my eyes dart to him.

“Yes?” -how did he know?-

*strange scent going on here.* my wolf says out for me. *keep on your toes*

-no need remember- rolling my eyes and giving myself a small smile.

“A few letters here” the mailman hands me the small stack pulling me from my thought. Our fingers touch and dread fills the pit of my stomach. I try to look him in the eye again but he averts my gaze at all cost. -wierd-

“Um thank you?”, and I dash out as the elevator doors open up and go down the hallway towards the stairwell instead. -I can do stairs in 4in heels-

*in your f*****g dreams you can*

-hey.. f**k you Adeline.- I banter back at her.

As we hit the stairwell and I make my way to the first floor to my lobby practically out of breathe on the east side I go through my mail quickly. Some were notices for other employees that I’m to email. One was written all pretty but had no identification of who sent it. I gulped hard.

*read it, read it!!* Adeline gets frantic.

As soon at I got to my desk I sat down and began to open it. My hands shook barely able to read it:

You made it hard, but not impossible to find you.

-P.

Fuck.*fuck.* Adeline started to pace in my head, -did he really find us- I questioned. My heart races so fast it could hit Mach speeds easily.

*was that him in the elevator?.. s**t Sterling! If he found you then that must mean…*

“Sterling!” I gasped out.

“Who?” a familiar voice spoke out, it was Chris. Perfect timing ey.

Again, I basically jump out of my skin.

“Gah.. um its… he’s my son. Sterling, is my son.” I get out finally all calm like.

“ Angelina it looks like you seen a ghost, are you okay?” A gleam in his eyes when ours meets his, he seemed genuinely worried about me.

“Oh me? I’m fine sir. I just have to make a personal call to check on my son real quick. Won’t be too long I promise.” I reached down for my phone bringing it up I dial Ms.Blanche’s number.

He looks at me worried-like but catches up with a coworker leaving me alone at last.

“Hello?” I hear Ms.Blanche soft voice on the other line and sterling in the background singing the theme song to ghostbusters.

I sigh with relief as I hear him.

“Oh Ms.Blanche, I uh just wanted to check up on you since I was in such a rush this morning. That’s all.”

“Oh child, everything is fine here. Have a great day at work.”

Click.

I sigh again, at least he’s safe.

*Hey, I know you’re worried about you know who and all, but did you see the sparkle in Mr.Mirra’s eyes.*

-yeah, what was that about only other… s**t you don’t think?-

*im like 87% certain he’s got a wolf too.*

-what’s with you and odd numbers? But you are certain? Is he our mate? I can’t deal with men problems right now, I have issues with another one currently.-

I sigh again.
