Jason's POV He called yesterday and said he have something important to discuss with me. He was at my street waiting for me, to take me to work. He was standing against the car, his back facing the passenger door, folding his arms across his chest. His black shirt and grey waist coat does nothing to hide the promisingly strong abs he have got under them. His face facing sideways, wearing black sunglasses to hide his ocean blue eyes. What a sight to see! "Done ogling him?" came Al's voice "Shut up Al. I'm going to office. Bye" I said blushing. "Yeah. Is this going to be a routine. Him coming to pick you up and drop you home?" "Al, my car is at office. He is just helping" "You are saying that a lot. Which boss helps his employees to this extent. Whatever it is, this one seems to be a good man. I feel the good vibes with this one. Bye brother, have fun." she winked and closed the doors. Jason focus you are paid to work for him. Not to stare at him. But was he always this good looking.  How I never noticed it before? Am I seeing him in a different light just because he confessed his feelings.. I sighed and walked towards him. "Good Morning. How are you feeling today?" he asked when he found me approaching him "I'm fit and fine" I said standing opposite him He reached forward to feel my forehead and neck for temperature. "Good" he said. A heart melting smile appeared on his face. Yeah.This man is too good . Too good to be true! Shut up Jason and stop staring at him . "You said we have something important to discuss ?" "Yeah, can we do it over breakfast?" he asked "okay" He opened the door for me like a gentleman he is, making me blush "I can do that myself, you know. " "I know. But I want to. Gentlemen do these things for their loved ones. And I'm a gentleman" And he loves me. My eyes widened at my thought. "Are you alright?" he asked while settling in his seat. "Yeah I'm good" This stupid inner voice is not helping. It's just the influence of Al and Amy. Nothing else. Jason you are alright. The drive to restaurant was quiet. I was wondering about what he is going to ask. We reached the Parks restaurant. When we were asked about the reservation at reception. "Booking was done under the name Mr.Banes" he answered. "Just a moment sir" said the receptionist with a business smile "Yes sir. A table for two at VIP dining area. Out staff will show you the way, sir" We were taken to second floor. The hall is mostly empty. We ordered French toast roll, chicken beignets and cinnamon tea. He keeps tapping his fingers on the glass table, making me frown. "Are you alright?" I asked out of concern "Just a bit nervous. I wanted to ask you something. Please don't take it wrong. If you don't like my idea, just... please reject it. okay?" I extended my hand to take his hand in mine. "You can talk to me." I assured. He nodded. "I'm just worried about whatif you take it wrong or get offended. Jason, I promise my intentions are not bad. Don't take me wrong" could I ever doubt his intentions? I respect this guy too much to doubt him. "I'm curious now" I smiled at him and he returned the gesture, i felt his hand relaxing in my hold. Before he could say something the waiter came back with our order. He started pouring the tea in our cups and smiled at our joined hands, making me blush and immediately withdraw my hands. What was I thinking holding his hands for that long? The waiter jerked by my act and tea spilled outside the cup, nearly on my hand. Zaiden slapped my hand away on time, but the tea spilled on his hands . I don't know when I ran to him and dipped his hand in water jar.. "Are you crazy? What were you thinking doing that ? " I asked Zaiden "Please don't be mad at him, Jason. Mistakes like that happen. Forgive the poor guy." he said, with an innocent face Oh he thinks its funny, isn't he? "I'm not scolding him, Zaiden" I pointed at the poor waiter, who was shifting from one leg to another, standing there nervously. "I'm so sorry sir. Shall I bring some Ice?" he asked. "Yes, please" "No" we both said at the same time. "No, you can go" Zaiden dismissed him. "Calm down I'm fine" he said "Well thats what you will get, when you associate yourself with cursed being like him. You will be ruined" said a familiar voice making me tremble in my place Mike was standing in front of us, holding his fiance Vanessa's hand. Zaiden stood up shielding me from their view. "One more word Mike, One more word about him, I will tear you into pieces." he warned Mike. "You are his bride to be right? You better take him away now, if you want him in one piece for your wedding" he said to Vanessa, rolling up his sleeves. "Come honey. I don't want to see his face" she said. "Oh you have the audacity to talk about him like that. What makes you think so mighty about yourself? You know what, you are just a desperate woman waiting to marry a b***h like him. You don't want to be in presence of precious being like him?. Suit yourself" he said I couldn't take my eyes away from him. This man is taking care of me, shielding me and fighting for me. What have I ever done to deserve this kind of love from him. "Scram before I throw you out of this place. Don't think I won't do it. Because I'm capable of it. I will give you both five minutes to leave this place." his booming voice echoed in the quiet hall, making me come out of the trance. "What do you think of yourself? This is not your property, Zaiden" Vanessa said "Oh yeah. My friends own this place. One phone call and guards will throw you out. Don't embarrass yourself. You have got five minutes" He warned them. "You will pay for this, Banes." Mike said before leaving "Jason, Are you alright?" Zaiden turned towards me and asked "I'm ok. I'm used to their drama." I lied to him and myself . I am always like this when they are around, defenseless. Al and Amy always used to fight for me, just like how he did minutes ago. Why I was with that Mike and how I was blind to not see his real face? is beyond me. " Thank you though." "Anytime" He said and pulled my chair, tapped on the head rest of it, signing me to sit We ate in silence, until I remembered about why we came here "You wanted to ask something right? what is it?" "Oh its nothing. we can finish the food and leave to office" he said making me frown. "Zaiden, I know you are lying. Come on you were nervous to discuss about it earlier. Now you are saying its nothing. What is it? what's bothering you?" he scratched the back of his neck "I wanted to ask you to be my date and attend Mike's wedding. Vanessa's father came to invite my father. My father told that I will be attending the event of his behalf. I wanted to ask you to accompany me. I wanted to show him that he doesn't affect you anymore, that you can happily attend his wedding and you don't give a shit." "I know it's a crazy idea. Forget it" he sighed "No its not. I will do it. I can do it. I want to go".
