The Best Man

Chapter 28

Everyday has become a routine for me. I’ll go to work at eight in the morning then Kean will pick me up at Five in the afternoon.

Yes, Kean said that he is dead serious about me, that is why he always pick me up after work and he even delivers breakfast for me at the office.

“You know what Ella, he is a really hot guy,” said Mitch to me while Kean getting out of his car.

“Hi Ella, here’s your breakfast, Tuna sandwich and Cappuccino for today,” he said as he held out the brown bag to me.

I accepted it and thanked him.

“Gotta go babe, see you later.” And he salutes at me and Mitch.

“He is a sweet guy Ella, but I think you don’t like him,” she said.

I just looked at her and made my way inside the office.

Mitch followed me and we saw Alex with two cups of coffee in his hands.

“I think I am late again of giving you this,” Alex said to me.

“Well, as you can see, she has her sandwich and Cappuccino already, so I am taking this one,” Mitch is getting the other cup from Alex, “Thanks Alex,” and she winked at him.

Alex just shrugged his shoulder and took a deep sigh, “Do you like him?”

I was shocked by his question, is he asking me if I like Kean?

I looked up at him and said, “I don’t know.”

He just smiled at me and said, “Okay, at least you are not yet together, so I can make my moves. Look Ella, I like you, I hope you give me a chance of proving myself to you.” He is now kneeling in front of me.

I suddenly felt nervous, because I know, Mitch is looking at us. I don’t want her to get mad at me.

“C’mon Ella, give Alex a chance. You two look together and I know you two will make beautiful children!” shout by one of our officemates.

I looked at Mitch and she just nodded at me. Maybe she’s telling me to give Alex a chance. I looked back at Alex waiting for my response.

“Okay, I know you don’t want to give any response right now, but I am serious of my intentions with you Ella. I hella crazy about you.” He said these with his puppy eyes.

I can’t help but laugh at his facial expression so I just tapped his broad shoulder and told him, “Okay, just promise me that you will be good to Mitch and that you will never tease her again.”

He looked at Mitch, “But Ella that is so hard to do!”

“Well, it’s your choice Alex,” I smiled at him.

“Okay okay,” he said his hands in the air as a sign of defeat. “I will be good to you bitch.” He is pertaining to Mitch.

I narrowed my eyes on him, “I told you, be nice to her. Don’t call her names like that!”

“Haha, sorry Alex, but I come with the deal.” Mitch smiled at him, I think it is a seductive smile.

“Don’t seduce me Mitch. That night won’t happen again.”

Something happened with the two of them? I looked at Alex first and then to Mitch, my gosh, I can see their hot eyes burning with desire. Lust.

“Oh shut up, Alex. You won’t be able to do that again. You wish.”

“Really honey?” And He took a step forward Mitch and she stepped back.

“Whoah, wait. You two.” I stand in their middle. “You Alex, you said that you have serious intentions with me, and why are you acting like that? You are flirting with Mitch in front of me? I can’t believe you.” And I laughed.
