A Contract With The Billionaire

Chapter Two

James pov:

I went straight to the bathroom after coming back from work, letting the shower pour down on me. As I got so immersed in my shower, I got a call from my friend Dave asking me out to come over to the club. I looked at myself again in the mirror and figured I could use a night out.I came out of the shower and dressed up ready to leave.

As I drove my car down the busy streets of hidden vale, cars honked around with street lights standing on every side of the road making everywhere look so bright. I turned the music on just to keep the atmosphere lively. Just then I spotted a lady not far from wher I was driving,running. I slowed down my car and followed her immediately. She was being followed by a man in black. Seeing the fear in her , I immediately took to my heels also, to help her. I got hold of her and immediately dragged her to a more secluded corner, away from the sight of the man following her . As I held her tightly, she kept struggling and screaming to break free from my hold. I covered her mouth immediately as I whispered in her ears telling her to stop moving.

When I was sure no one was following,I turned to face her, my face almost coming in contact with hers. As I looked at her, my heart started to pound heavily. As I kept on staring at her she made a gesture indicating to me that I was still holding her.

Seeing that, I coughed and immediately let go of her waist to avoid any further awkwardness.

She brushed her hair behind her ear revealing a very stunning neckline.

As I offered to escort her home,I stared straight at her without blinking my eyes, silently hoping she wouldn't refuse my offer.

As we walked we reached a stop, where she told me it wasn't necessary for me to go further. Deep down I knew she just didn't trust me. I mean, I was a stranger to her. She thanked me again and walked away until she was no longer within sight. I sighed, feeling disappointed that I wasn't able to get her contact information.She might think I was a p*****t if I tried asking for her contact just a few minutes after we met.

I went back to my car and drove over to the club. At this point I wasn't even concentrating at whatever Dave was telling me. All I could think of was the name ‘Ava’.

The next day I got dressed and ready for work.

As I went to the garage, I got in my car, and drove off to the hospital.

Good morning doc, the nurses greeted as they smiled at me rather seductively.

I sat down and held my head still. I looked down at my table,while trying to recover from the hangover from last night's party.

“Urghh…” This is gonna be a long day.

“I thought quietly to myself”, already feeling exhausted.

There weren't any patients left to review so I took the opportunity to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. On my way there, I bumped into someone.‘Hey, watch where you are going will you?

“I said, sounding so annoyed”.

“I'm so sorry, so sorry, she kept on apologizing as she was trying to clean my shoe that she spilled her coffee on.

“It's ok, just stop it, leave the shoe. I told her in a polite manner, still sounding annoyed though.

I slowly raised my head to see who it was. She immediately called out to me.

“Hey, you….uhmmmm… James right? She said while pointing at me as she recalled my name.

“Oh yeah”, hi Ava’ nice meeting you again. How are you doing?

I'm good, “she replied”, still trying to clean up the coffee that she spilled.

Sorry about how I reacted earlier. I apologized to her while still staring deeply at her.

“Yeah it's ok”, ‘she replied'

So uhmm…. What are you doing here? Came to visit someone? “She asked, looking at me with curiosity.

“Nah, I work here,I'm a doctor. I replied while smiling at her facial expression.

Really, Wow, who would have thought. I work here also. I'm a nurse. “She said.”

That's nice, at least we get to meet and talk over work, yh? “I said, sounding almost pleadingly, and hoping it wouldn't sound weird to her.

“Yeah, no problem, that's okay. As far I'm not busy. “She replied to me as she laughed.

Well I'll have to take my leave now, hope to see you some other time, yh? “She said, while bringing her hand out for a handshake.

“Yh, some other time. ‘I replied back.’

This time, we exchanged contacts and I promised to keep in touch.

Weeks passed and Ava and I had gotten closer than before. Although at this point it seemed she only saw me as a close friend and nothing more, so I decided to keep it that way in order not to destroy what we already have.

As I got home, my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and saw it was my dad. I stared at the screen for a while trying to decide whether to pick it up or not. The call got disconnected and not long again, it rang. This time, I picked it up.

“Hello”, how may I help you?

“Is that the way to talk to your father”?

“Just say what it is you want to say”, “my voice sounding irritated.

“Come home this weekend, I have something to discuss with you”.

I wanted to reject the invite, but I thought to myself to just use this as an opportunity to visit my mom and sister.

“ok”.

“I replied immediately, and cut the call before he could say anything again.

I wonder what he wants to tell me. I lay down in bed, and before I knew it I slept off.
