Spoiled Brat

Work

Emily's POV

Xiānshēng hé xiǎojiě, měihǎo de yītiān, wǒ jiào Wú, wǒ huì chéngwéi nǐ de sīrén dǎoyóu.
(good day Mr and miss, my name is Wu and I'll be your personal guide)

Wú xiānshēng, zhù nǐ hǎo, I replied, smiling up at the man
 (good day to you too Mr Wu)

Both of them are taken aback and Mr Wu is the first to speak.

Ahhh, you speak Chinese, he said, seeming more like a statement than a question.

I cock my brow at him at the fact that he could communicate in English but decided to speak his native language.

Emily, David speaks up, don't worry about him, he's a tease.

I try to fake laugh, even though the whole situation seemed weird.

It's a little past two, when we are done going round the factory, the place is huge and I note that they used more advanced machines in processing.

I finally tuck my notepad in my bag.  David only talked to me when necessary and the cold atmosphere just felt colder which was getting me a tad bit frustrated because I couldn't understand what his problem was, so I decided I was going to confront him at the end of the day.

                                   xx

The setup for the factory to kick-start was very smooth and everything seemed to be in place and well taken care of, well, except the elephant in the room.

We just got off the elevator leading to our separate suites when I spoke up.

We need to talk.

He looks at me with a brow raised and asks, "talk about what?"

I don't know,. maybe everything?! I exclaim. Realising I might have over reacted there, I clear my throat and continue.

Let's get inside the suite first.

Yours or mine? I ask.

Mine, he replies.

Sitting on his couch, facing each other and sipping some white wine, we both stare at each other in silence.

Are you going to tell me what this is about?

Yes, David, I will.
I just want to understand why you're ignoring me, what did I do?

Ignoring you?

Yes, David and don't act like you don't understand what I'm talking about.

What if I don't?

I cock my brows to face him and he avoids my eye.

Look, Emily, I'm not avoiding you.

I never said you were, I said you're ignoring me David.

He meets my gaze with a more intense one and I tense up.

You know what Emily?

No, what?

That was a rhetorical question, you weren't meant to answer or should I say ask.

Oh, sorry about that, I just thought..

Emily, please, let me finish before I change my mind.

Honestly, he says, throwing his hands in exasperation, I don't know what you want me to do, we aren't kids anymore Em, I'm sure you do know how much I like you and I've been trying my best to show you but you've been refusing my advances and you don't exactly make me want to think that you don't like me back.

I blush, as images about our last kiss flood my head.
I'm brought back from my thoughts when he stands up and continues talking.

Honestly, I think we should stop communicating unless it's necessary.

I'm taken aback by his choice of words.

David, I start slowly, don't tell me that you're shutting me out and staying away from me because I don't want to be with you, I finish, feeling my temper rise.

I don't understand this! This is absolutely ludicrous! Because I don't want to date you, you've been ignoring me for hours?!

Yes, Emily, I'm tired of  this whole thing, what are we doing??
Surely, you're not a child! I'm not just something you'd run to to feel some love, that's messed up and I won't have it!

Are you fucking serious right now David?!
Well, you! You should know that you're such a SPOILED BRAT!
You want everything thrown on your lap! You're so arrogant and you have no respect for women and I won't have you insult me and get away with it!

Leave

What?

Emily, I said leave!

Fine David!

Suite yourself!

                                ****

Wow, that was intense though.
So, guys, I haven't updated in a while and it may be associated with my current state of mind.

I'll get over it though.

So, let's stay tuned for the next chapter, see where the two love birds are getting at! #inserts grin emoji!#
