Married to it

Aftermath pt.2

Dean POV..... 3 months later

"So what your saying is that you want us to make a deal with a gym?" I asked

"Yes, Sir. If we invest in this gym,we could make millions. I noticed this the other day when my friend told me about it. I went and there were so many people there. If we invest, we would have lots of money sir." he said

"Sounds good. I want a print out of the gym. I want the owner's name and the background story. For now the meeting is over" I said standing up.

I walked to my office and saw that I had 30 missed calls from Victoria. I rolled my eyes and sat at my desk.
Then someone knocked on my door.

"Come in" I said doing paperwork

"Mr.Warren, I have those papers for you about the gym"

"Leave them on my desk" I said

He placed them there and walked out. I grabbed the paper and saw the name in bold.

Elizabeth Taylor

My heart stopped for a minute. I looked at the paper and saw the gym named Fit4you. I grabbed my jacket and put it on and my briefcase. I needed to see her.

I walked out my office with the papers in my hand and got on the elevator.

.........

I pulled up in front of the gym and breathed out. I got out the car and walked inside. I looked for her but I couldn't find her.

"Welcome to Fit4you. I can I help you sir?" A guy walked up to me

"I'm looking for Liz- Elizabeth." I said

"Most of the guys here are looking for Elizabeth if you know what I mean" he laughed

"No. What do you mean?" I asked glaring at him

"Elizabeth is beautiful and any guy would be lucky to have that. Guys come daily just for her number but she turns them down. I think she has an ex that she's not over. But Elizabeth isn't here. She left a half an hour ago."

"Do you know where she went?" I asked

"Some guy named Zander came to pick her up for lunch" he said

"That fucker" I said "Do you know where?"

"No I'm sorry" he said

"Ok" I walked out and got in my car

I called Zander.
"What"

"Where are you? I need to speak to you?" I said

"Having lunch with a good friend. Why don't you come and join us?" He said

"Where are you?"

"At the Italian Restaurant on 3rd" he said

I hung up the phone and drove there quickly. What if they were together? What if she likes him now? I finally got there and got out the car.

I walked inside and looked for them. I saw them laughing together and walked over to them. Soon I was grabbed by my arm.

"Sir, You need a reservation."

"How about you don't touch me and leave me the fuck alone?" I said

He removed his arm and I walked over to Zander and Liz. She looked even prettier than I remembered.
She looked up at me and she was shocked.

"Hi" I said

"Hey" Zander said "I'm going to go. I'll see you later Lizzie" He kissed her cheek and walked out.

Lizzie? What stupid name is that? I say in his seat when he walked away. Why the hell would he kiss her?

"So, How have you been?" I asked

"What do you want Dean?" She asked "You clearly said that we shouldn't see each other any more"

"I know and I need you to know that I did that for you. Liz I care about you a lot. I know what she could do. She could hurt you and if she wants to and I won't let that happen even if I want to keep you to myself. I swear." I held her hand

"You can't do that" she said "How can you do that?"

"What?"

"It's been three months and I've been slowly trying to get over you. Then suddenly you get the chance to reel me back in. Do you know how badly you hurt me?" She said

"I'm sorry Liz." I said

"Why did you come here?"

She's shutting me out again.

"My company wants to be the prime investor of your gym" I pulled a paper out and gave it to her

"Really?" She said reading the paper "If this is your doing Dean, I don't-"

"No. It was brought to my attention by one of my workers" I said honestly

She looked me in the eye to see if I was lying. Then she smiled and looked at the paper. I loved seeing her smile.

"But why?"

"Do you want the business reason or my opinion first?"

"The business reason" she said

I nodded"Because the finances that your gym is making is very spectacular. Your gym is making more money than any other gym in North America." I said

She was trying to suppress her smile.
"Now yours" she said

"My opinion is that you deserve it and I know how much Fit4you means to you. You deserve this, Elizabeth" I said looking into her eyes

She smiled.

"Thank you, Dean. That meant a lot coming from you" she said

"Your welcome" I said smiling "How about we have lunch here and talk about the deal?"

"Just the deal?" she asked raising her eyebrow

"Just the deal"

"Deal" she said laughing
