MIA-BELLE

FOUR...

BENJAMIN
It's been eleven hours since she called. I can't even get some sleep. A whole CEO but I ended up doing some work, not to brag but I guess I'm ready for Denmark and I'm the best CEO, I mean the best."Good morning sir" Alfonsi greets me carrying a cup of cappuccino to my bed side table."Morning Alfonsi, I hope you're good?" I respond."Yes sir. I'm alright. If you need anything, I'll be just down the stairs" Alfonsi says while taking his leave.My phone begins to ring and I do not hesitate to pick."Good morning. Who is on the line?" I say immediately, the sound of Santiago's horrible voice, I knew it was my hermano calling to give me some information."I got news for you on that girl" he says over the line."sure.spill. I want to hear it all" I say as he begins "Full name: Mia-belle Clarkson but there's some controversy over her name, it's supposed to be mia-bella Clarkson, erm sorry not Clarkson,Russo. It's a long story but you'll get all the info you want when you arrive at Denmark. Today's her birthday 26th of July. She's nineteen today and she's presently at Jasmine's cafeteria having a breakfast bash with Kelly her best friend. She's on the move now. I'll text you the final destination if you care for it. You're welcome Benjamin, you're welcome" Santiago says in a rush as I respond."No worries, I'll hold my horses till tomorrow.Goodbye. Till then my hermano" I say I cut the line."Mia-bella,hmm, you sure are in for a whole lot" I mutter to myself. "I think I should call back soon" I say In a whisper as I'm interrupted by another call "morning father" I say as I pick the call." Morning Ben. I hope you're ready for your flight. Just be ready. I won't be available for now. I'm in a business meeting.it's for two weeks and later on I've got two months to visit and develop another company. We'll talk about that later on. You still have your personal assistant to help you out. Call me when you're settled in Denmark" my father says immediately and makes no hesitation in cutting the call. Not even a goodbye."What a wonderful way to start my day" I say to myself as I down my cup of cappuccino. I sure would miss Alfonsi and this house too. I take a quick shower and put on a pair of black joggers and a blue t-shirt. I hurriedly hop into my black venza and drive off to Jasmine's cafe. I couldn't wait any longer. I just needed to see her.luckily I've got my hoodie in the car. I quickly slip into it and in about 15 minutes,I get there. I know I drove too fast. I quietly step out of the car and walk into the cafe. As soon as I get to the counter to place my order, I notice her, as beautiful as ever in a white Nike top, matching trousers, sneakers and even a visor to top it all. She looks so adorable. A Nike fan."Excuse me sir, what can I get for you?" The waiter at the front desk asks. "I'll just take a cup of coffee" I respond."That'll be five dollars" I respond by bringing out my credit card." Their Bills on me" I say as I point towards mia-belle's table." Ok sir" the waiter says as she does her thing quickly and returns my card, a receipt and a cup of coffee."Thank you sir" she says as I walk out."Mia-belle" I say as I step out the door. She turned around to look for me but didn't know know it was me"soon, Mia-belle,soon" I say as I walk to my car. I drive off to the office to meet up with Marisa, she has to forward all the details to my personal assistant in Denmark. I pick up my phone as soon as I reach the parking lot. I see a not so familiar black Ford and I wonder what she's looking for in my parking lot. I'm sensing it strongly and I feel it too. I'm just too sure. Mia-belle is here.But why? I step down from the car in my shades and black cardigan. I realize I forgot my coffee and keys but luckily I had not locked my car yet. I turn back, open the door and grab my coffee. I thought I could be sneaky enough so that nobody would see me, but I was wrong. She had seen me,at least, my back view. I'm not scared, I'm just too sure that she barely remembers my name. I guess she's going to come for me."I'm wrong" I mutter to myself as she walks away, towards the building."what exactly does she want here?" I say to myself as I walk into the building. I was conscious of the fact that I was just a few feet away from her."Today is Saturday, what could she even want here?" I think to myself as I approach the front desk. I expect only Marisa and the security personnels to be around. I step into my private elevator, I press the number 13 to take me to the thirteenth floor.
MIA-BELLE
I hear a voice say "Mia-belle" and I turn around to meet nobody."Kelly, I'm confused here. Did you just call my name or what?" I say picking up my phone."Nope, I did not do any of what you just said."Kelly responds as the waiter moves closer to carry our plates."Bill" I say to the waiter and he shoots me a confused look."you already paid your bills" he says and that is when I turned to look at Kelly."Kelly, are you hearing this guy?" I say abruptly."Yup, I'm right here and I can hear it all. You know what mia, let's just leave. You have to meet up with Elizabeth in two hours. I pick up my phone and just as I'm about to turn on my phone, I see a familiar figure and I wasn't able to catch all what he said but I was able to read the words" Mia-belle, soon" off his lips.He turns and walks away and that is when I realize he might have paid the bills. My phone begins to ring and I look at the screen to see it's my father calling."Good Afternoon Mr Clarkson" I say as soon as I pick the call. With no hesitation, he responds."And when did all of this nonsense start? I am your father and I deserve that respect from you. Mia-belle, a lot is going on right now e I'm trying to help you. I'm just trying my best to save you and this is what you'd do in return? Let's just put that aside. Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter.All of us would be seeing you off to Denmark on Sunday and my gift for you is in Denmark. Moving on, you'll have a few responsibilities to Carry out in Denmark, you'll have someone to assist you and of course your mother is aware of it and since you aren't ready to go to oxford, you'll be occupied with this. It's actually a partnership, don't worry, I'll explain better tomorrow Maybe on our flight or something.Mia, are you listening?" He says and I respond"Yes, I've heard it all.so, what do I do now?" " I just want you to go to KKONtech enterprises to pick up all the papers. When you get there, you'll meet Marisa, she should give you all the papers. Thanks honey, I've already informed Mitch and he knows the place. Mia, I just want the best for you.I really do love you. Happy birthday Mia, happy birthday" he says and with that cuts the call. Myself and Kelly walk into the black Ford." Fasten up your seat belts ladies" he says as he takes off on high speed. I'm more than sure he passed the speed limit. I take a look at my phone but I get discouraged because he's going weigh too fast. Before I Know it, we arrive the parking lot of kkontech enterprises. "Two technological enterprises merging together, what could possibly go wrong?" I mutter to myself. I step out of the car . I look behind me and come face to back with that guy from Jasmine's cafe. I walk straight into the building because I have no more time to waste. I'm certain he's just a few steps behind me. I enter into an elevator that I'm guessing is for the general public. I click on the thirteenth floor which is the top floor. After a few minutes, I arrive the top floor. I meet a young lady with chestnut brown hair and deep blue eyes and she's black. Probably an African American." Good afternoon. Welcome to kkontech enterprises, how may I help you?" She says as soon as I approach her ." I'm here for the papers. My dad. I mean Mr Clarkson asked me to pick them up" I respond and she says while bringing out a book " sign here, here and here. He already informed me that his daughter was coming by. Here you go, have a nice day" she says as she hands me the papers. I walk towards the elevator and bump into something hard. I look up and finally come face to face with the angel himself.
