Derek's point of view
It's been a week since I last saw her and I've been making myself go crazy, I've been taking the Ferry Boat for a week hoping, praying she's there.
In the end she was never there, which I get I wouldn't want to see the person who basically called me easy or a whore.
I've been going over the notes Antonio gave me about Lemon, but a lot of it doesn't make sense. Ever since the interaction I had with Lemon a week ago I've removed the pointless ring.
Doesn't seem like the ring worked, it was like she saw a ghost when her eyes scanned me and stop right at the ring.
It was like everything she's ever done flashed before her eyes.
All I've been wanting to do is find her apologize and at the same time push her buttons because the way she gets flustered or the way she rolls her eyes is extremely sexy.
I'm just tired of going out everyday looking for her and coming back to this apartment empty handed.
After being sorry for myself I get myself dressed and make my way back into the streets of Seattle hoping I'll get lucky.
It's finally not raining which I'm thankful for, the weather here is the only downside I'm so use to having sunny hot days in California and here you never know what you're going to get.
Rafa and Antonio have been blowing up my phone for any information I've gotten, but I've been telling them I'm coming up empty handed and I don't think she's even here.
Lying isn't that hard for me it comes with the job and I know I shouldn't be lying to my boss or this powerful man Antonio but I'm very intrigued with Lemon.
I want to know more about her because the file I have on her is completely useless and there has to be more to her than what she's showing on the outside.
One thing that's different about this case is I've never made contact with anyone I needed to find, I've always distanced myself from them and once I get what I need and I know for sure it's the person I just pass the information to Rafa and he deals with the rest.
I'm breaking so many rules for one girl I haven't even had a proper conversation with, I'm turning fucking soft it's disgusting.
I'm about to take a left turn till I see her walking crossing the street going towards Orange leaf, I keep my distance just watching her enjoy making her way to the shop.
Lemon doesn't have any idea how much power she holds by men and how they all turn their heads watching her go by and their eyes roaming down her body and stop right at her plump ass and bust.
It takes all of me not to punch every single man watching her with hunger eyes all I could do is just watch.
Lemon walks in the shop greeting the employee and grabs a cup and starts putting yogurt in.
This woman is completely gorgeous without even trying, she truly does amaze me.
I watch as she makes her way to a bench, places the bags down on the ground by her and she begins eating her yogurt.
A family comes in her a view and she's almost in a daze watching them and I take that as my cue to walk towards her and join her on the bench.
As I approach the bench I thought she was going to look up but she's still in her own little world, I take a seat and she still hasn't realized someone is sitting next to hear I clear my throat hoping that will do something.
I'm guessing she's snapped out of the daze but still hasn't looked at my direction and it's frustrating me all to hell but I know she's still pissed at me.
I continue to stare at her but she's still acting like I'm invisible she just continues to eat her yogurt, I stopped watching her and get lost in my own thoughts figuring out how I'm going to fix this.
Even though it's very quiet between us, it never became awkward for one second.
I notice from the corner of my eye she doesn't have anymore yogurt left and puts the spoon in her mouth, I couldn't help but chuckle it's quite entertaining watching her.
I'm assuming Lemon notice once the spoon hit her mouth that nothing was on it but this little minx decides to suck on the spoon with her plump lips, I held in my groan this girl is truly going to be the death of me.
I needed to fix myself, I felt myself getting hard and I knew she saw me because there was thousands of thoughts going through her mind.
Once she removed the spoon out of her mouth and I heard that popping sound my cock started to twitch, she was about to do it again but I snatched it out of her hands before she could.
I never new how badly I wanted to be a spoon, I put all the anger I had when throwing it in the trash. I can't believe I'm jealous of a fucking spoon.
So many thoughts of having her between my legs while her mouth is open having my thumb go in and out of her mouth while my other hand grips her throat.
I come out of my thoughts hoping that she'll roll her eyes, scoff or even yell but I got absolutely nothing out of her and it honestly hurts.
Lemon starts to gather her shopping bags this is the moment were I be a man and as she's throwing away her Orange leaf cup I start to speak.
"Wait, stay."
I go to reach for her hand but I knew I had no right to touch, not after what I said to her. Lemon stood there for a few seconds as if she was having a conversation in her head.
Lemon soon turns around and sits back down on the bench but as she does I feel her eyes on me, waiting for me to say something or apologize.
I couldn't find the words I needed to say yet, instead I remember her staring at the family a while ago as if she was dreaming of her life as a wife and mother.
"Do you want kids?" I couldn't see Lemon's facial expression but I knew she had to be shocked by that comment, it was unexpected.
"Yes, I've always wanted to be a mother and be able to experience what it's like to be pregnant. Do you want kids?"
As she's finished talking I process what she was saying. I could picture her being a mother, a great one in fact as I'm done picturing her being pregnant with my future kids. I sit all the way back on the bench and look at her.
" I didn't when I was younger I thought kids were absolute horrid, disgusting and honestly annoying. Till one one of my close friends had a little boy and he asked me to baby sit from time to time, I honest to god didn't want anything to do with that child but soon gave in knowing my friend needed me. After some time of spending time with the little guy it hit me that I actually wanted to be a father."
Lemon's smile should be illegal, god this woman is breath taking in every way.
"What's the sons name?, if you don't mind me asking of course."
How can this woman be single?
"Lucus, he's a little devil but all in all he's a great kid."
After my comment Lemon didn't know what to say and I knew I needed to apologize before it's too late but I was scared of not getting the right words out and hurting her all over again.
I notice Lemon fidgeting with her fingers before I could even comprehend what I did it was too late, I turned my body facing her and picking up her hands holding them running my thumbs over her hands.
I know I shocked Lemon but I didn't care it felt right to hold her hands and they fit mine like a glove, as if her hands were made for mine.
It was now or never Derek just do it, don't be a little bitch man up.
" I'm truly sorry for how I treated you a week ago, it was never my intention to hurt you the way I did. You're right I don't know you and you don't know me but what I do know so far just by our interactions is you have one hell of a smart mouth, can be a little bratty but at the end of the day you aren't easy not one bit. You're a caring soul who's extremely smart, compassionate, beautiful and the type of person who would go out of their way to give anything to anyone who needed it. I hope we can start over and redo everything that's happen between us."
It felt as if my whole heart stopped beating for those few minutes when Lemon was quiet, I know deep down I don't deserve another chance but I really hope she gives me one. The ball is in her court and it freaks me out not knowing what she's going to decide.
Lemon takes her hands away from my hold and my heart starts to shatter a bit, knowing this is what I deserve but what shocks me is she puts one of her hands out as if she's asking for a handshake.
"I'm Lemon, it's nice to meet you officially."
I'm over overjoyed by this moment but I compress all my emotions and I to stick my hand out for a handshake.
"I'm Derek, it's nice to meet you officially as well."
Lemon and I couldn't help but smile at one another, I can't wait to see what this now new friendship between us will bring.
Whatever it is I'm ready for it.
