As soon as Mia entered the apartment she was ambushed by Emma's congratulations and praises. Stunned she had asked" What's happened?". Emma stood back looked at her friend's stunned expression and let out a little laugh" Check your phone. That's whats happened."
Reaching in her bag Mia quickly located her cellphone. Her face dropped when she saw all the missed calls and messages. Wanting to smack herself for forgetting that she had placed her cell on silent for the meeting. She quickly read her messages and found that Jason had tried to contact her to inform her she had gotten the job.
" Wow! That was fast. I didn't expect to hear from them till at least tomorrow." Came Mia's exasperated voice. Looking her friend up and down Emma jumped back into her congratulations. After a while Emma's babbling finally died down bit. Giving Mia time to realize something.
"How'd you know before me ?"Mia asked but already knew the answer to her own question. "Jason called about that date I owe him."Emma's answer came , not surprisingly. Looking at Emma Mia had to admit her friend seemed really happy when mentioning Jason and only prayed for her happiness.
They chatted a little longer about the job and Jason. Until Emma had excuse herself from their conversation to answer a phone call from her father and Mia took her chance to escape to her room. Knowing Emma and her father would take the rest of the afternoon talking.
Lying on her bed she quietly gave thanks that her prayer was answered. She also felt great gratitude towards Emma for asking for Jason's help. Mia quickly slipped into a deep sleep , where all was good and wonderful , her safe haven.
It was already late when Mia woke. Still in a daze she made her way the the living area. Where she found Sophie seated by the window looking deep in thought. Not wanting to disturb her friend Mia made her way to kitchen to start dinner.
Upon entering the kitchen she stopped in her tracks, when she noticed that dinner was already prepared and the table already set. Knowing that it was her duty to see to dinner she was a little confused." I just didn't have the heart to wake you. You look so tired these days." Sophie's voice came behind her causing her to jump. She had not thought that her friend had noticed her when deep in thought.
With a quick thanks she helped Sophie take the dinner to the table. It was true she had been tired these days and was thankful for the extra sleep she got.
When placing the salad down on the table , Mia noticed that that amount of food made was extremely huge and that there were two extra place settings. "We expecting someone?" She asked turning towards Sophie. Only then noticing her friend' attire. Sophie who would never dress specifically for dinner was wearing a pretty blouse paired with a flaring skirt , she also wore lite makeup.
When Emma entered the room she knew that whomever it was joining them must be important to them. Emma was wearing a cocktail dress that wrapped around her thin waist and emphasized all her other assets , to give her short legs curve she wore a pair of stilettos.
"Wow Em! You look gorgeous. Who's joining us?" Mia exclaimed , but when seeing her friend's grin she suddenly didn't care, as long as she was happy it didn't matter. "Jason called. I asked him to join us for dinner" she said excitedly " his bringing a friend. So go get out of those clothes and into anything better!" Emma commanded pointing at her messy attire. Looking down at her outfit she had admit that hosting guests looking like that was not going to happen.
In her room she grabbed a fresh pair of trousers and a pretty top. She brushed her hair and didn't add any makeup , thinking it pointless. She quickly pulled on her boots when she heard the door bell and went to go greet their guests.
Exiting her room in a haste she walked straight into something hard that was not there before and stumbled back. When two strong hand steadied her, she looked up into two beautiful aqua eyes. "Sorry. Uhh.. didn't see you there."she mumbled an apology looking away and stood back.
"That's alright. I'm Alex nice to meet you. " the blue eyed stranger said in a some kind of accent introducing himself. " I'm Mia. You must be Jason's friend?" She replied shyly. Looking at the handsome man in front of her from head to toe.
He had dark hair that was a little too long for her taste , but suited him, his face looked like it was chiseled by Michael Angelo himself and he had a muscular body with long well build legs. He wore a pair of blue jeans that sat snuggly around his thighs and wore a light blue t-shirt , making his blue eyes looked even bluer and shinier.
Clearing her throat she turned to her Jason greeting him warmly and thanking for the job. "Don't thank me I just got you that interview. It was my boss that did the rest. Liked you right from the start. "Came his reply while he gave his friend an unreadable looked.
At dinner they all chatted and joked. Alex told her a bit about himself and was really interested in knowing more about her. She told him about her family in Paris and about university. It was like they clicked and could become good friends in no time.
After dinner Emma and Sophie cleared the table and went with Jason to sit in the lounge. Emma had started the coffeemaker and quickly came back with their coffee. Looking over at Mia and Alex still sitting at the table in deep conversation. "Well ! Looks like those two are hitting it of. " she said nodding in their direction when taking her seat next to Jason.
"To bad his brother already has his eyes on her." Jason mumbled in reply looking at his friend with a side glance." Really?" Sophie asked and Emma continued the question "what makes you say that?" Jason then told them about how Adam was impressed by her interview and how he usually never showed interest in girls like he did with Mia. Thinking back at his boss' face upon entering his office after Mia's interview.
"Well , what's your opinion? Are they a good match?" Emma asked at his side. Getting to know Mia a little tonight he had to say she and his boss were complete opposites, but that's exactly why they would be such a perfect match.
Hearing what Jason said both Mia's friends look over at their friend. Mia has never been one to date and was always blind to the interest of the opposite s*x. Having her meet someone special was all they wish for her. If this Adam was a perfect match then they would wish him all the best in pursuing their friend.
