Vampire's Personal Assistant (VPA)

CHAPTER 7

So my boss has given me a week off to prepare for our meeting in Mexico.
I have been spending some time with my dad floor the past three days. He has been showering me with non stop gifts, like he is trying to make up for lost time. He has been trying really hard and to be frank, I really miss him so much and I can't wait for our next lunch date tomorrow.

"So how was your lunch date with your dad yesterday?" Mom asks

"It was really good! Can't wait for tomorrow!" I beam
Her phone rings pausing our conversation.
"Hello Carlos.......oh. Okay. I'll let her know. Bye." And she hangs up her smile instantly turning into a frown.
" it's your dad. He called to cancel on your lunch date tomorrow. He has to fly back because Rebecca's (his new wife) parents just arrived so they're planning a family dinner." My mom explains frustratedly. "Am sorry sweetie " she gives me a sympathetic smile.
" it's fine ma. I should have seen it coming. Apparently am not family." I say with glossy eyes. I head upstairs before the tears spill out uninvited.

Am on my way to the restaurant I was supposed to meet my dad at yesterday with is really fancy and expensive by the way to cancel the reservations.
It really hurts that he just leaves as his family number two calls. Like we are not his family. I push the thought of him at the back of my mind like I have done for the past years.
I reach the beautiful elegant restaurant and pull up into the drive way.
"Hello, welcome to Amorè. May I take your jacket? The man politely asks.
"Yes of course. Thank you." I reply. With that, I enter the restaurant and it looks more beautiful in the inside than on the outside.
"Good afternoon ma'am. Welcome to Amorè. How may I help you?" They are just so politely aren't they?
"Yes I'm here to cancel reservations under......"
"Miss Cierra Monteiro" a familiar thick British accent calls my name. I turn to see Mr Humphrey sitting alone on a table drinking red whine. "Mr Humphrey. What a pleasure to see you here." I say as polite as I can.
"Come join me will you" he asks, well more of ordered.
"Uhm... I don't think..." I try to come up with an excuse "I insist." He says firmly therefore I have no choice but to have lunch with my boss. Great.

Mr Humphrey and I have been chatting for more that an hour now. I feel like the person I had lunch with in his house is coming back. He was telling me about his childhood and how there was so much pressure on him to always come out on top as he is the only male child. I like that he is opening up to me. As much as I hate to admit it, I love spending time with him. He made me feel free, safe, myself. Happy.
"Come on. Let's go." He gets up and holds out his hand for me. "Where Mr Humphrey?" I ask nervously.
"Once again. Call me me Theo outside work. And as for where am taking you. It's a surprise.
I took his hand and I instantly felt tingles, fireworks, and butterflies everywhere!
It was wierd. Aren't you supposed to feel all of that when there is and undeniable chemistry between you and the other person?
I can't have chemistry with my boss. Can I?
