'I never dreamed'
Chapter 18:
(Ella's POV)
I was in the office going through some paperwork for Mitch and Kyle for when they do there presentation and I couldn't keep my mind of Dylan. It was like I was hypnotized by him and all I want to do is stay at home with him. It was lunch however and all I wanted to do was go to the shop and get a fruit salad to bring back to the office. I walked out the office and went to the Cash machine to withdraw some money. When I looked at my balance to see how much I could withdrawal, I saw $100,756.98
"Holy crap!" I shouted out loud as I gripped the side of the machine. I took out $10 quickly and got my phone out to call dylan about what he's been up too
"Hey el, whats-" he managed to say on the other end of the phone before I cut him off
"What is one hundred thousand dollars doing in my account?" I said slightly shouting down the phone. I didn't mean to shout down the phone but after speaking about this earlier, I made it clear about how I felt about taking his money.
"Just a little something" he said whilst I was heading towards the shop
"I will pay you back" I managed to say as I was putting my purse back in my handbag.
"No you won't, I'm not gonna talk about this" he said as I entered the shop
"I will" I said picking out with fruit salad I want before going to the counter.
"This is not up for negotiation Ella" he said sternly before hanging up. I put my phone in my bag and I looked up as I was taking my purse out
"That will be $5 please?" The man said over the counter. I handed him the money before taking the food and walking back to the Office, bumping once again into that Eric kid outside of the building.
"Hey ... um Eric?" I called after making him turn around quicker than I spoke.
"Hi M ...Ella." He stuttered, he looked as if he had been caught doing something he shouldn't have, and for some reason, It was as if I knew him from somewhere else, not just the many times i've seen him.
"Are you okay?" I asked referring to his sudden squirm, looking as if he were stunned by me calling out his name.
"Yeah i'm .. yeah." He commented before running off. I shrugged and carried on my way back to the office. After that, I was so focused on the project but in my head was still getting distracted by the money and Dylan. I had made my point clear and he had ignored it, i understand why he did that and use was just being thoughtful but i was brought up to earn my way through life and not gold-dig it. I ignored my thoughts and got on with my job. Time seemed to fly by so quickly that I didn't even realize that Dylan had entered the room
"What you up to?" He said making me jump and making some papers slide onto the floor
"Jesus Dylan you jumped me" I said smiling as he leaned over my desk to kiss me which I accepted.
"I figured" he said as he sat himself down on the chair in front of my desk. I bent down to get the paper's and when I got back up, he was looking through Mitch's notes looking like he was Tarzan coming into the 21st centurary world.
"You alright there?" I asked as I started putting specific paper's back into specialized files.
"This looks a bit ..." He said hanging his words as if he didn't even know what to say about it.
"Confusing?" I asked
"Yeah" he said handing them back to me as if he was holding something he didn't want to hold anymore, I put them in the drawer next to me before grabbing my bag and standing up
"That's why I do my job, its because I understand it" I said as he gave me his hand to hold and we left the office
"So how come your here?" I asked we got into the elevator
"Thought I might surprise you" he said which made me kiss his cheek as the elevator doors closed.
"You've already done that today" I said mentioning the money
"You've got to get used to that kind of surprise" he said letting go of my hand and putting it around my waist
"I will not" I said as the elevator doors opened. His arm guided me towards his car but I stopped at the entrance of the building
"What's wrong? If its about the money, I'll stop it if you really want" He said sliding his arm around my waist so he ended up in front of me
"I'll meet you at the house" I said before kisisng him
"Why can't you go in my car?" He asked
"Because we both drove here in different cars" I mentioned walking away towards my car. He had parked his car in a different place and I had parked mine in the staff car park. When I got in the car, I put the keys in and just as I was about to pull off, i realized that someone else was in the car with me. I turned and saw Joe with a bouquet of pink roses. I screamed out of shock and got out of my car as quickly as I could.
"Ella! Calm down I'm only here to talk with Dylan interrupting me" he explained as he too got out of the car but was at the opposite side of the car
"I don't care Joe" I shouted worried. Even though I had known the man in front of me for years, due to recent events have made me believe that he was a stranger in my eyes.
"Look" he said before signing and getting getting the roses out of the car
"Let me explain" he said putting the roses on the top of the car and sliding them across so I could take them. I looked down at them and sighed myself.
"You've got 5 minutes" I said slowing him his chance as I put my bag and flowers in the car and got out of it. Joe was stood in front of me waiting for me to finish so he could explain.
"Well, I'm waiting" I said as I turned to face him

Romance"I want you back," he said as I looked up from the ground. "Don't" I said trying to stop him, I didn't want to talk about us anymore. We were over and this connection wasn't helping us in any way, in fact, it just pulled us closer to each other. "No...
