CHAPTER 15
“GET OUT “ I nearly yelled
I looked his vision through the mirror and saw the confusion evident on his face.
“Don’t be like that, do you know how much self control did I do there in my meeting. It was damn hard to not look at you. You look absolutely breathtaking “he said while making his way to me
“oh that means you saw me earlier but even though couldn’t resist her?”
“What are you talking about? And yeah I saw you the moment you entered in here or maybe earlier how couldn’t i? “he said wiggling his eyebrows
“Chris get out or I’ll cut your balls in two halves “ I said squeezing my eyes
“but what happened baby? what’s wrong?” he said placing his hand over my shoulder
I shrugged my shoulder and led his hand fall and then turn around to see his confused face.
“you know nothing..nothing is wrong just get off my way “ I said shoving him from my side while I tried to get back to the girls
“no way in the hell am I going to let you go like this, tell me what’s wrong?” he said blocking my way
“if you force me to do anything I’m not willing right now I won’t think even a second to kill you” I glared him
“your killing me by not telling me anything , tell me now and kill me later”
At this moment I couldn’t control my anger and jealousy and it came out in the most ridiculous way
“why to ask me? go ask that bimbo whose boobs you were eating a while ago “ I said looking into his eyes fire burning in mine.
He looked aback from what I said and said “what..are ..you…talking about? are you jealous?” his worry turned into a sly grin
I moved ahead and held him by the collar of his shirt tightly that nearly choked his breath “make another bullshit and I’ll kill without a second thought”
His eyes widened and he raised his hands in air” I’m sorry ,I’m sorry your choking my breath “
I loosen my grip over his collar and pulled him closer to me with his black tie “listen Chris carter and you better listen. Stay away from that bimbo or I shall murder you .Do you get that”
He smiled and said “but she’s my personal assistant ,I’ll need to talk to her on all the matters”
I pulled him even more closer leaving a distance of 2cm. between our face and said “not my fucking problem okay.Because just like you I too don’t like sharing anything that’s mine. And especially with someone I hate with a guts .So maintain a good distance from her.Do you get that?”
He nodded a yes with a larger than world smile.
“but what would I get in return?” he asked while shoving his hand in his pocket as I release him
“your lucky I never punched you in this time. Now get lost”
He smiled and snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him .i notice there is a full 7 inches difference In our heights , me5’6” him 6’1” or maybe 6’2” I guess.
“you know how hot do you look when your annoyed? Just lke a feisty cat”
“yeah the cat that has claws with sharp nails don’t forget “ I added while showing him my small nails and putting it back on his chest
“Ah! Where’s this wildness coming t from huh? I like it” he said while laughing on the last part.
I smiled back and looked down on my sneakers in order to hide my blush.
“you liked your gift?” I flipped my head to see his blue eyes watching me
“what gift?”
“some footwear you were going crazy for on that shop? I thought you liked it.”
“oh!so it was from you? I never knew it. How did you see me ogling it?”
“I’m stalking you “ he whispered and continued with a smile” you like it?”
I nodded yes
“I was thinking to repay the sender the entire the amount. But I see you’re the one, so I’ve changed my mind “ I said with a sly grin
“Ah! That’s a total loss to me .” he said faking a sad expression which I laughed on
“well that’s what you get if you mess with me. Getting too close with a vixen I hate at my first sight.” I said while cocking an eyebrow.
I rarely use the word hate. Because I rarely feel it.
“agghhhhh come on. That’s my job besides I told I wouldn’t let her come near to me”
I suddenly decided to rhetoric my thoughts “chris”
“hmm?” he said while watching me with amused eyes
“you’re a cameraman huh?”
He suddenly flinched with my question but said with a short pause “yeah ,I am…a cameraman.”
His answer sounded to me more like a question.
“so what kind of a meeting do you have to do like this if you’re a cameraman in all Armani suit, and I guess you might be having more of field activities”
He thought a while and blurted “umm..i’m a cameraman who needs to take meeting regarding his upcoming projects with his client. And I did the meeting here because my clients find this place good. And plus, I like to maintain my dress code perfect everywhere” he said with a smile.
This wasn’t one of his genuine smile, but I avoided intruding anymore.
I smiled and said “ that’s really cool. Now go and catch up with your client or they’ll run away”
He gave me a bone crushing hug instantly that made me cough . I smiled and hugged him him back and said
“chris”
“hmm?”
“I’m still serious about killing you if you go near to that vixen”
He vibrated with his laughter and said “I won’t “
“you want me to introduce you out there?” he asked while looking in my eyes
“no , I don’t think it’s a good idea” I smiled sheepishly and thought what’d he introduce me as and plus my anti social behavior do not permit me of getting introduced to them so I just refused.
“okay , I gotta go . I’ll see you soon” he smiled
I nodded
He gave me a quick peck on my forehead and walked out of the washroom.
I was lucky that no one interjected our this meeting or I’d have been so damn embarrassed about threatening him.
I suddenly thought why did I refuse him to introduce me. But then my mind says how would he introduce me ? what would he refer to me as? Who are we exactly? I don’t think we’re just friends. That’s something I’ve never considered him since the first time I saw him. The sudden adrenaline rush I get when I see him , the spark that gets generated within me whenever he touches me doesn’t belong to a friend. No doubt I feel best with him and think of some kind of an attachment I have with him or why would I feel jealous when I saw that bimbo hovering over him.
But what exactly are we?
After a while ,I felt really stupid of myself about my behavior a while ago but it was necessary as I couldn’t bear any other lady or girl touch him like that and I’m glad Chris understood what I said. I myself startled with hunger and thought it in my mind that the girls must be waiting outside for me so I immediately rushed outside.
I asked for apology from both the girls as I took too long inside . our orders were already there and both the hungry girls were already digging in without waiting for me. Not there fault I too would have been the same.
I sipped my espresso and took a large bite of the sandwich and was really savoring the taste .
“I think I’ve seen him somewhere” I opened my eyes to see Jill glancing over my shoulder and pointing towards Chris while sipping her frozen hot chocolate.
I flipped my head and saw him standing outside his seat far away from the vixen and curiously communicating with the two men sitting across the table. He nodded yes ,then no ,then spoke some random words ,took some files scrunched his chin,scanning his files, signing the documents.
Very different job as a cameraman
But such an effortful person he is.
“Grace do you think you’ve seen him somewhere?” I heard jill saying that made me flip myself ahead to face Jill and Kathy.
This guy captivates me so hard even without doing anything
I shrugged in reply as I didn’t know what to say. I’m glad that Jill has low memory ,she really don’t remember he’s the one whose photo she was ogling that day.
But at this moment, I’m not going to tell them that we know each other. Firstly I need to discover ,why I felt jealous. And what exactly are we?
We finished with our snacks and got up to leave when I got a text message from the cameraman behind me
‘I’ll see you soon. Take care’
I turned around and see him watching me with a smile . I nod in reply
“Mr. carter are you listening?” I hear one of the men sitting across the table saying to him. He instantly flipped his head and involved in communication with those two men.
I smiled and left instantly and left to meet the girls outside the cafe. I’m glad that none of Jill or Kathy stayed inside or they’d have shower questions to me like ; he smiled for you . he looked at you etcetera .These stuffs are intolerable to me.
***************
Chris’s POV
Today was my first day in the office and it went unbelievably amazing. I had to go to serendipity3 for the meeting to be conducted about our research on various cafes in NYC and the type of services and snacks served by them in order to initiate the opening of the grand café chain in USA .
Although dad appointed me as the product head, but he gave me all the works which included this field work as well ,because he says I’d work well, as I plan well and besides he wants me to learn everything quickly. I’m actually enjoying all these, because everything requires practical implication of my years of research, so it’s all easy for me.
We’re planning to do a pilot survey and has chosen NYC as the research area. To do our research, I had to do a meeting with Mr. Thomson. He already did a major part of the research ,and suggested me to conduct our meeting in serendipity3 ,because he personally loves this place and believes that it is full of potential. He’s although right because customers at serendipity3 loves to visit here and I too want our café chain to be loved by our customers.
I was on my way for my meeting with Mr.Thomson ,walking through the busy roads ,full of people shops, big buildings. The location was pretty much nearby my office so I preferred walking ,however my P.A insisted she’d drive me there but I told her to wait there for me , as I wanted to walk. Technically Luke was going to be my P.A but he’s transferred to Paris, so Tiffany is my new P.A.
. I was going through all the crowd, countless shops of dresses, accessories, jewelry, footwear.
Wait a bit
Am I seeing correct?
Is that Grace?
I instantly inclined to that shop and hovered over the glass frame where I could see her ogling on a pair of sandals. Looks like she’s really impressed with this one and sure it’d look sexy on her delicate legs, anything would suit her. I couldn’t take of my eyes off from her. She is boring her gaze straightly into the pair of sandals displaying her perfectly defined eyelashes to look even longer. She bit her lower lip, which is a complete turn on for me and I groaned mentally. Her outfit defines her perfect figure very well and not to forget how dense and graceful her brown hair looks today. They are wavier than usual looking much dense and bounce with every of her move. This girl can drive me crazy even without looking at myself. I bet want to kiss those lips she’s biting currently but I have my plan for her first kiss.
I waved her a few times but she was absolutely busy checking them out, so I stopped and swooned over her until she saw the price tag and went away with a gloom face to her friends.
I immediately went inside and asked the manager of the store to pack the same sandals she was checking out a while ago and give it to Grace specifying as a gift by someone she knows before making payment for the same. She was really busy in speaking with her friends and did not look at me. So I smile and left for the café I was supposed to hold my meeting in.
I wanted to fit the sandals in her feet personally but It’s my first day as a product manager and I don’t wanna be late , because Mr.Thomson might have reached there already and this meeting was very important to me. So I smiled and left for the café they asked me to come over.
I went inside the café and was greeted by my P.A , Tiffany who later introduced me to the two gentlemen sitting there , already waiting for me. I apologized them for being late and they said it’s okay. After a few minutes as we started the discussion on number of cafes already present in NYC ,the amount charged bu them for their services, substitutes the customers preferred . the meeting was going fluently and Tifany being an ideal P.A had her laptop with her, who showed us the discussions being conducted by us graphically. I was applauding the interior of the café when,I notice three ladies making there way inside the café. I was astounded when I saw one of them was none other than the beautiful Grace.
Shewas smiling displaying her beautiful smile as she found a spot in the busy café.Her brown blazer hugged her nicely showing her perfect body it was getting impossible to take of my eyes off her.
I tried hard not to focus on her right now, but she was looking so damn hot in that brown blazer and brown hair as well.What is she goddess of beauty or something? I saw her flipping in her seat ,guess she saw me but I immediately averted my gaze from her and tried to focus on the discussion we were having right now.
Just a few minutes later i saw her rushing towards the washroom without glancing anywhere but on her way, I must say she looked very angry . i suddenly made an excuse of washroom with and excused myself to follow her way.
As I reached the washroom I thought what if someone else is inside , but I rushed in immediately. But instead of seeing a beautiful Grace I saw the angry annoyed Grace who was watching me with an expression like she was going to eat me any other second.
No doubt she’s very stubborn even more than me and I like it , I think she looks absolutely hot when she’s angry especially her nose , it turns into a good shade of pink and red. But I surrendered myself to her then, so she thought I’m really afraid of her. After so many attempts, I got to know she was jealous of Tiffany as to why she was hovering herself over me. What a pity I never noticed what she was doing or I would have stepped aside from her earlier. But then I how would have I discovered that Grace gets jealous when she see some other girl flirting with me. I hope she too has something as strong as I have for her. And with her sudden outburst that ‘I don’t like sharing what’s mine’ gave me immense satisfaction as if I just won a million dollar prize. I just wanted to kiss her but then she asked what kind of a cameraman holds a meeting like this. I felt so guilty lying her that time , but I cannot confess the truth to her until I discover she likes me back.
What did I say?
Do I like Grace?
Well there’s no latent feeling else than I like her. I like her so damn much with all my senses. All I need to discover is she too likes me back. The day I find out she likes me back I will shower her with kisses and so many kisses ,because right now I’m restraining myself a lot.
GRACE’S POV
I was clicking pictures of all things I bought today as my mom gave me a text later to send all the pictures to her. I clicked the picture of the gladiator from different angles and sent 4 pictures of it to her. Mom really got impressed from my choice and asked me to sell that gladiator to her ,but my crazy mom has a smart daughter ,I’m loving this one (especially because Chris gave it to me ) so I straightly refused her offer .
Smart me
After clicking and sending the pictures’ to my mom I was now placing all the things I got today in my closet when I heard Jill speaking
“Grace, are you sure you don’t know that guy at the café?”
I thought a bit and said “yeah ,I am. Why?”
She made a thoughtful face and said “I think I have seen him somewhere “
I shrugged and avoided to carry this communication further and thought to study a bit, though it was already 10 and I was supposed to sleep in a while, but some self study would be great.
Just when I was about to finish my demand and supply equilibrium curve I heard my phone vibrate.
Agghhhh I hate it when I get disturbed in the mid of an interesting topic. I groaned and took my phone in my hands to see a new text from of course the one I’ve been waiting from
Chris Carter
oh my gosh ! why am I getting all excited from his text?? But anyways I’ll read it.
‘have you taken a pledge of killing me everyday with another of your beautiful look?’
I smiled and gave him a reply
‘why?’
‘what why? Don’t you have any idea how hot you looked today? I could barely concentrate on my meeting’
I smiled and gave another reply
‘thanks, actually I know I’m so hot :P, but tell me if that vixen hovered herself over you again? Just give a positive reply and I’d kill through your phone’s screen’
‘hahaha Grace beautiful Roberts , do you know how much affect are you having over me these days? And no I never led her come near to me as I love my life :P ‘
‘hmm good , oh and by the way you look good in that Armani suit’
I was going to use sexy ,but I thought good would be little more classy
‘whoa you already started falling for my charm? I thought you’d take much longer’
I groaned and replied angrily
‘you keep on wishing that, I just appreciated in a casual way no need to hyperventilate. ‘
‘for once in my life let me feelmy imaginations are true. Please tell me you find me superhot supersexy your prince charming, say you like me a lot :D ‘
Of course it do. But I’m sure he’s only kidding and he used :D so yeah he’s kidding
‘none of them is true. Now tell me when are we gonna meet and hang out a little. I just feel like going out. I don’t know why but I do’
I just asked this, because now I kind of feel easy to communicate with him plus, I really like spending time with him. He’s really sweet at times.
‘hmmmm missing me huh?’
I felt my cheeks blush and mentally groaned over my question and gave another reply
‘you forgot I could kill you if you talk nonsense and besides you promised you won’t be a jerk anymore. But anyways ,leave it ,it’s not very important .I’ve got other works to do’
A feisty reply huh
I got a call instantly from him
”‘what the hell do you mean it’s not important huh? of course it is,I’m a little busy due to tight schedule but that doesn’t mean it’s not important to meet up. I will see you very soon maybe tomorrow itself. You know I’m trying my best not to be a jerk as per my promise, so just give me some time” he barked from other side.
I smiled and said nonchalantly “you know it’s just not mandatory , focus on your work and besides I too have lots of work you know?”
I pretended it’s not very important to meet up so he doesn’t feels so clingy of me, but surely I’m no less than super excited to go out with him.
“listen , it is important. And do all your work asap we shall be meeting soon to accomplish your remaining wishlist “ he said with a sigh , suppressing his frustration
I smiled and said “ okay, okay I got it you can relax”
“great. Now tell me do you miss me?”
“uhh..maybe” I chuckled and continues “now I gotta sleep so byeee” I sang my bye in a cheery tone.
He groaned and said “ aahhh so early! I was liking the feisty Grace but anyway , you need to have rest;”
“you too “
He chuckled and said “ yeah , sweet dreams beautiful”
“good night Chris”
I heard a voice of muuahhhhhh from other side but I disconnected the call without giving any reply. But I couldn’t stop me from the giant silent laughter.
I placed and phone on my side shelf and was smiling when I heard “soooooo you like him?”
