Chapter 2: INTRODUCTION
When I woke up, it was already dark! I tried to sit up but I couldn’t for a second I was scared like hell thinking that maybe I got paralyzed ‘you got burned it’s not a big deal stop being silly’ my internal blamed me. Then I saw that handsome stranger from earlier sleeping soundly on my leg! It was kind of cute so I just sat there watching him sleep like a little kid tired after a long day playing! ‘What if he wakes up now? He would think you’re a weirdo! Oh wait you are’ My internal reproached my behaving; it was true so I reached for the book he was reading to keep myself from staring like a creepy person! The book’s title was “the fault in our stars” how could a person like this one be interested in this romance-melodrama book? This is my favorite book, I’ve read it several times and every time I get lost in the perfection of each sentence!
- “Great book Hein?” his deep sleepy voice frightened me and got me out of the virtual journey of hazel grace (the book’s heroine)
- “yeah it is” I said trying to keep as short as our conversation can be
- “You read it before?”
- “yeah several times”
- “What is gonna happen to hazel, my little sister made me read it and I couldn’t say no! but it turns out to be a great book”
- “Yeah it is actually!” obviously he was expecting a longer answer because his eyes were staring at me and asking for more but I didn’t want to satisfy his need
- “so anyway what’s your name we haven’t introduce our self yet”
- Demi
- Nice to meet you! I’m Ian
- Nice to meet you too!
- So you should get ready! I’ll take you home
- Oh you don’t have to! I’ll be fine
- “No I insist! I have told Thomas to bring you something to wear it s in the closet” oh we have a closet okay!!
- “Okay thank you” I said but he didn’t move I made my way to the closet, got the clothes hum good taste, way to go Thomas! He bought me a vintage summer colorful dress! It was short but not as short to see the burn in my thighs and a cute converse to go with! I Turned back to put my dress on the bed and I saw him still standing in the same spot. I stared at him for a while but he wouldn’t move I had no choice but speak
- Could you please get out?
- I thought you might need help!
- No I don’t
- Okay I’ll be waiting for you outside
- Thank you
I wore the dress and put the shoes, it looked actually quite cute on me I fixed my hair, smiled at the mirror and opened the door to see him standing right in front of me
- “You look really pretty” he said while his eyes moved slowly over my body, drinking in every detail! His gaze lingered for a second on the soft curve of my breasts and went up! I felt a little flush of anxiety as our eyes met, I blushed instantly and avoided his eyes
- Thank you
- “You do!” he said before grabbing my hand and pulling me toward the exit?
We found Thomas ready waiting beside the car; it wasn’t the same as before this time it’s an ASTON MARTIN ONE-77! I was in awe when I saw this amazing car! It’s known for being the most expensive car in the whole damn world! Thomas opened the door for me while Ryan headed to the driver seat. I sat down in my seat checking every detail of this amazing car!
- So where do you live?
- Queens!
- Where exactly?
- Forest hills
- “Okay!” after that I thought that our ride would be boring and silent, but I obviously thought wrong since he didn’t stop asking me all kind of questions!
- So DEmi ! What do you do for a living?”
- I work as a publisher assistant
- Where?
- Manhattan independent publishing
- Good office I hear
- Yeah it’s the best
- You don’t have a car?
- No
- So you go all the way from Queens to Manhattan everyday
- Yeah
- Isn’t tough
- Not if you’re used to it
- Okay, so have you always wanted to be a publisher
- No! I studied business management but couldn’t find a job
- Oh I can help you
- “No thank you” I felt that my response was dry but couldn’t help it! I wouldn’t let this guy find me a job
- “Okay!” from that moment he didn’t say a word until he parked next to my building.
- Here you go, Demi!
- Thank you a lot
- Don’t thank me! Invite me to dinner
- Why would i?
- I thought you wanted to thank me
- Yeah for the ride! Did you forget? you poured hot coffee all over me!
- Then accept my invitation to dinner tomorrow
- Tomorrow is Monday I can’t
- Then after tomorrow!
- I work all week days
- Then Saturday
- No
- Why?
- “Okay!” wait what? I accepted his offer? No way!
- Then I’ll pick you up Saturday at 6 ok?
- As you like!
- “Okay here’s my business card there is my personal number in the back” I took it put it in the side pockets of the dress making sure not to check it because that would insure him that I m attracted to him which I am! But it’s too soon to show that
- “Okay see you!” I turned my back, headed the door and without looking behind I entered and closed the door behind me! I went up to my apartment still in shock because of today’s incident, I opened the door headed to my bed and bounced on it, my thighs hurt but I bore it! I took the business card from my pocket and checked the back for his number, it was there I flipped it and saw Ian JOHNSON CEO OF JOHNSONS ENTREPRISES!
- “YOU MEAN THE SON OF Enrique JOHNSON THE DOUCHEBAG WHO STOLE MY FATHER’S COMPANY???” I was shouting like a crazy person in the bed I stood up but I had a mental breakdown I didn’t know what to do but still I stood there trying to put things in order in my mind
- “THIS HANDSOME, GENTELMAN, PERFECT GUY IS THE SON OF THE BIGGEST LIARS, CRIMINAL, AND ROBBER OF THE WORLD? NO! IT CAN’T BE TRUE!”
- “Hum! You can dream about it douche bag you’re so not seeing me on Saturday or any other day! WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY WHEN IT COMES TO MEN?” I lied back in the bed still in awe and still trying to organize my thought until waves of sleep took me to the dreamland.
