Will always be you

Chapter Twelve

Before Cindy went to bed, she had a video call with two of her best friends and told them about the date with Jonathan and also about sharing a kiss with him.

Violet had given a deafening shrill from the other side like a mad woman that Cindy and Tyson had to push the phone away from them. She was so loud that she could scare people.

"What did you say? Boss kissed you and you're going on a date tomorrow? Oh my God Cin, I'm so happy for you." She questioned her friend and was genuinely happy for her.

Cindy only chuckled at her friend's behavior. She felt warmth seeing how genuine her friends were and the concern they had for her.

Before Cindy could even talked, another series of questions was thrown to her by Violet.

"Where will he take you to your date? Do you know what to wear? Do you want me to take you shopping? Geeze Cin, why is your date so abrupt?" Cindy wondered if ever Violet ever got tired of talking.

When she had met her at the cafeteria, she didn't seem to be such a talker. But she had come to the conclusion that she only talked that much if she was comfortable with the other party.

"He didn't tell, and no I have no idea what to wear, I don't why and no worries, I can find something in my closet. We went shopping last time, don't you remember?" Cindy answered all her questions patiently

Tyson on the other hand seemed to be so calm about it like he had expected that to happen.

"Congratulations Cindy, I'm happy you found love," he told her on the phone sincerely. The way Jonathan was treating cindy was so different with other employees and he was expecting them to get together sooner or later but he didn't know it will come this soon.

"What love? We just shared a kiss and going on a date, he didn't say he loves me," Cindy told her friends.

She really hoped that she would find someone who would love her genuinely. Although she had never fallen in love before, she grew up without parental love and was hoping she would find a lover who would be genuine towards her.

"Come on girl, don't be a killjoy. I'm sure boss has fallen in love with you. He had never asked a woman on a date," Violet replied her friend as she rolled her eyes.

"What? But he's gone to a lot of dates before?"

"Those we're all arranged by his mom. They were all blind dates and he has never gone on a date twice with the same woman," now it was Tyson who informed her this.

When Cindy heard that it was Jonathan's mom, she remembered the woman who had talked to her at Jonathan's office and what she had told her about not rejecting Jonathan.

"Yea, we'll leave together tomorrow so I could help you prepare," Violet informed her.

Cindy had wanted to decline but she knew Violet wouldn't let her so she agreed.

Cindy and her friends talked for a while before she decided to turn in for the night anticipating her date with Jonathan the next day. She had no idea how her boss was wrecking his mind so they have the perfect first date.

***

Jonathan on the other hand was a nervous wreck. He had never been this nervous before. Him, a ruthless and a cold billionaire to the world, was nervous because he was going out on a date with the woman he liked.

He called his friend, Martin and had him prepare everything. He gave out a lot of instructions that his Martin was pissed off by him. Jonathan wanted something simple since he knew Cindy didn't like extravagant things.

"Man, who do you think I am? I am not your assistant, okay? Why should I be the one to arrange everything while you're the one going on a date?" Martin was so mad at Jonathan. If his employees knew how he was being treated by Jonathan, would they still regard him as their boss?

How could he, the CEO of White Cooperation be the planner of someone's date?

Jonathan didn't care about how his friend felt.

"Make sure tomorrow is perfect, don't mess it up for me," Jonathan told his friend before hanging up the phone.

'If people could know how the mighty Jonathan Black is so nervous about a date, their perfect picture of him would be shattered,' Martin muttered to himself before making a call for the arrangements.

The following morning, Jonathan picked Cindy up as usual as they went to work. He came rather early and made breakfast for her. They ate together since he had forgo breakfast at his place so that he could have breakfast together with her.

When Cindy walked out of her bedroom ready to go downstairs and meet her boss, she was met with a delicious smell of food and knew definitely it was Jonathan. She felt butterflies in her stomach. 'How great to have someone prepare breakfast for me,' she thought as she strode towards the dining table.

"Good morning Jonathan, what for breakfast?" She greeted him casually like an old couple who had been living together for a long time.

Jonathan was amused by her but he liked the way she was being casual with him. It showed how much progress they were showing.

He strode towards her, held her tiny waist and placed a gentle kiss on her pink lips.

"Good morning too princess, seems like you had a good night," he said as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Cindy blushed as she hid her flushing face in his chest. Jonathan only chuckled as he held her in his embrace. She was so adorable.

"Some strawberry pancakes for you, fried eggs, bread, milk, juice. Come on have a seat." He knew she loved strawberries so he had made them for her. He wanted to do and provide anything for her that she liked.

He pulled out a chair for her as she sat down to have breakfast with him.

They had breakfast together before leaving for work.

Since they had their date later, Cindy had made a mental note to leave work much earlier in order to prepare.

On their way, after Cindy had told Jonathan about his schedule, they made some casual conversation. She decided to probe so she could know what wear for their date.

"Uh boss, where is our date going to be?" She asked.

"It's a surprise, you'll know when we go there," he acted mysteriously.

"Come on boss, how will I know what to wear if you don't tell me?"

"Princess, you look good in anything. Just wear something comfortable, okay?" He replied as he caressed her face gently.

Cindy decided not to probe further since she knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.

When they got to the company, they both got busy with work. Since they had to leave work earlier than usual, their workload seemed to have been multiplied.

During tea break, Cindy was able to get herself some rest. She met with Violet and Tyson, the two seemed to have been progressing greatly since they couldn't keep their hands to themselves.

Since the two would be having their official first date during the weekend, Cindy guessed they night become official boyfriend and girlfriend. Tyson seemed to care a lot about Violet and do did Violet.

They talked about Cindy's date with boss and that soon she will be their lady boss. Cindy only regarded their words as jokes since they usually joke around. She never knew that soon enough, their words would prove to be true.

During lunch when Cindy got out of her office to go for lunch at the company cafeteria, she was intercepted by Jonathan.

"Your lunch is already here. Just go wash your hands and come ovet.," He informed her as he raised his eyes from the document he was reading. Cindy didn't ask much as she obediently walked to the washroom in his resting area to wash her hands.

She got back and looked at the delivery on the coffee table. She opened the lids and the delicious smell that met her nose made her stomach grumble in hunger.

She didn't realize she was that hungry until she opened and saw all her favorite dishes and all from her favourite restaurant.

Whenever she would want a delivery, she would always use this restaurant because their food was so delicious and their place was very hygienic.

When Jonathan saw her drooling because of the food, he was satisfied knowing that she likec it and they were going to eat in his office together.

He stood up from his office chair and walked towards her and before she knew it, he had bent and captured her lips in a light kiss.

She realized that after their first kiss encounter the other day, he liked kissing her a lot and she liked it. She pushed him gently and said, "Go and wash your hands. The food will get cold."

"Alright ma'am," he said with a smile as he went to wash his hands.

When he came back, he found Cindy serving the food from the bowls to the plates. Those plates were from the kitchenette on their floor.

He sat down and had lunch together with Cindy before going back to work again.

By evening, Cindy had manged to get off work early together with Violet who was going to help her prepare for her date

Jonathan was to come later after she had prepared.
