Married, Divorced, Repeat.

chapter 2

"Hello again" In all my years, I never thought I would ever see my first my husband again well I mean after he left me for another whilst also cheating with me with her.

"Hello to you to Adam. I didn't know you worked for this company." I hoped that he didn't believe I could not come to work if it meant seeing him everyday.

"Actually I don't work here but I am looking to invest on this company for a project that I am doing to help get more publicity to may company."

"And that's where you come in Daphne . The reason I asked you here is so you can work on this project with him, plus if this project succeeds I will promote you full time job here." 

"So how long will I be working on the project for?"

"About five month." Well that's not too bad I mean if he's got his own company, hopefully we'll be working in different areas in different countries. "OH I almost forgot, if you are going to be working on this for 5 months I want you to work in his building, saves him having to come back and forwards." oh that's just great.

"Well thank you sir for this opportunity and thank you to Adam." After that I walked out the bosses office and started marching down the hallway like a stampede of elephants. Like why after so many years, why would you come here for help. What about the other thousands of companies that do the same business as us. But nooo it had to be this one pacifically.

*not very good whispering* "hey, did you see that guy who came into today to see the boss."

"Oh yeah, he looked like a snack."

"Oh you can say that again girl." Gosh, all these woman are the same. Like they don't know what he's really like. The only thing they want to know if it has a d**k and abs and then they're sorted for life. Well at least that's what I think they are looking for in a man. 

"Hey Daphne, wait up." oh god what does she want.

"Hi Courtney, and what do I oh the pleasure of you being here, next to me?"

"I was just wondering if you new that guy who came in today." oh bother.

"No." Lie "And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you because I don't think he needs another toy for his toy collection." Gosh with all these sassy come back, I should be asked to join that smack talk show that's on every Thursday. "Is there anything else you need Courtney?"

"No and never again I hope. But thanks for nothing."

"It was pleasure talking to you." Not. But after today I can't wait to get home and have a nice relaxing bath to try and release some stress from myself because if there were levels for stress, I would be way past 100 by now. 

~~after work~~

Oh before I go home I should go and pick up some food for tomorrow lunch. So like always, i go to the food store which is just across from where I live called "food love, love food" some places here have really weird names like there's even a shop called "pickle my buttons" which os a fabric shop.  But like I was saying, I was on my way to the shop where I got stopped by unknown black sports car. 

"Hey you, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to that Crystal flower cafe. To chat."

"oh hi, was knowing that I was working with you not enough."

"Oh you know that working with me isn't enough." did he just wink at me. What I prick.

"Oh, is that what you said to your assistant before you sleep with her whilst you were still with me or is that always your pick up Line." god I hate this man so much, and just think there was a time where I thought that even without that contract I would of still fallen in love with him, but I guess he never felt the same.

"Now, now. Is that anyway to talk to your work partner, by bringing up the past. Now please just come to cafe so we can talk." ughhhhh.

"Fine, but only this one time, because I'll be seeing you everyday anyway, as we are now working together."

"Well jump in." so I got inside his car which wasn't so bad because it smelt liked new bloom flower in here, and with this smell it made me remember the time where me and Adam went to a river for a picnic with my two lovely dogs. That was also the day he proposed, but of course it was part of the contract so it wasn't really a proposal but everything else that happened that day felt real. Then we got out of the car headed inside the cafe. "What do you want to drink?"

"Oh this cafe already knows what I like don't you Cloe." I said giving a friendly wink at her.

"Ok then I'll have a caramel latte, regular pls." He still has the same latte as always. I guess there's just somethings that people can't change.

~~flashback~~

"Good morning babe. What ya making?" Adam said with the sweetest voice.

"Your favourite, bacon and pancakes with m y famous Caramel latte." I said whilst cooking.

"You know that your caramel latte is the only one I really like, I don't think anyone else can make them as good as you." I smiled and walked over to him, wrapping my arms around from the back and kissed his cheek. 

"Well I hope that's true because I wouldn't want someone else giving you one because they don't have my secure ingredient."

" And what's that?"

"Love. ahahah"

~~flashback over~~

I stood there for a second taking some deep breaths as I try and regain my thoughts. " hey are you ok"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking." I said Cloe.

"Is there anything you want to tell me before you go and sit down with this man."

"do you remember when I told you about that one husband I actually thought I would spend my life with but then cheated on me?"

"Yeah."

"Well that's him, my first husband Adam. Who cheated on me with his assistant."

"Well he better watch that I don't just go poison his drink." That's my friend, always there looking out for me even though all that happened about 9 years ago. "Well if you need any help just give me THAT signal."

"Gotcha." The signal we give each other is a rabbit finger on the shoulder. We use this if we're are in need to get advice when on dates or if we need to get out of a date without them thinking we're leaving them which we are. so I got mine and Adam drinks and walked over to the table where he was sitting at. "Here we go. Were you waiting long?"

"Oh no, and how do you know that barista."

"Oh that's my friend Cloe and so far the only one." I am honestly so lucky I am friends with her because what she told me about other girls that p***ed her off. They didn't quite make it back from the hospital.

"So how did you meet her." long story short.

"When I came here and dint have anything like no money nor anything like that, and that's when Cloe came out of her shop to start closing up until she saw me and after a couple drinks she decided to help me out and we've been friends/roommates ever since." 

"She sounds like a good one, better than your old friends at least."

"Of course, because they're all stuck up brats who only use their daddy's money to get anything." after that we talked some more and I found out some new things like how he did start his own company like he said he would and now he's ready to expand, that's one of the reason he's working with us and that after his assistant/girlfriend broke up with him, He hasn't been with any one since.

"So are you seeing anyone?"

"Actually no, I mean it's only been 2 years since I left my 7 fiancé at the alter, but I'm doing ok."

"Even though its been 9 years since we last seen each other until now of course, I want do something special as we are now working together."

"like what?"

"Like you coming to my house warming party this Saturday!"
