SAVE ME

Chapter 22

"Morgan"

"Morgan, she is really a lucky girl," he said and I chuckled.

"I am lucky for having her in my life also," I say and he nods his head then we stared at each other.

No one said anything, we just stared as the seconds go by.

One... two... th-

"Here you go sir and ma'am" the waiter brought our order and we broke eye contact.

We thanked him and started eating.

"Yeah, so about the decorations" he began. And I listened to what he was saying.

We talked about the designs we thought would be okay, the price, and many other things related to the designs. When we concluded on the price and when he will start work, we shifted our conversation to other things like fashion, sports, food, places to travel, etc.

He loves football and basketball like I do but isn't a fan of tennis, he prefers golf to it. I enjoyed his company as we learned things about each other and how free we were to talk about anything. It felt like we have known each other for a really long time.

It was easy to talk to him and I liked it, he was also a devoted Christian and that made me feel so happy.

"This seems more like a date than a business meeting" he comments as he wipes his mouth with a napkin.

"You do love it," I said and he chuckled.

"Not going to lie, I did enjoy it and would love to do this again," he said and I grinned as I felt my cheeks warm "If you want to" he completes.

"Sure, I would love to" I accepted and his smile broaden which made him look ten times more handsome. I also noticed a dimple on each cheek and GOD... I love dimples.

This is too much to handle.

The waiter brought the bill and I took my purse to pay but he stopped me and said that he would pay. I insisted we split the bills but he says that he wanted to pay so I just allowed him to.

"So, it's settled already, I will start on Monday next week," he said when we left the restaurant and were walking to the parking lot.

"Okay, I will be expecting you," I said and he nods.

"The number you contacted me with isn't your personal number?"

"Yes, it isn't. it's the office number"

"Okay, let me have your number so that I can call you and we can fix up a day that we would be meeting again" he brought out his phone and gave me to type his number.

I typed it and gave it back to him when I saved my name to the number. We walked to my car and we talked for a while, he cracked a few jokes and I laughed so hard as I slapped my car roof lightly. He is funny and I feel happy about him. I just love how I am feeling now.

"Do you need a ride?" I asked him when we reached my car but he declined.

"My car is at the other end of the road," he said and I nod with a smile.

"Okay, I will see you later"

"You too dear" he replied and helped me to open the door so that I can get inside my car before shutting it when I was seated properly and I had my seat belt on.

"Bye," I say and started my car.

"Bye Ann" I revered my car and drove out of the parking lot and towards Gall Hall.

It has been a long time since I felt this way so it feels a bit new. It feels like I am a teenager once again, who just got noticed by her crush.

It's an amazing feeling and I guessed that's how Morgan feels about Ricardo and him the same. The way he looks at her when she isn't watching, how he plays with her hand, hair and always wanting to be with her.
