Stuck At Default

THAT WOULD BE JUST PERFECT.

Trevor's POV

I was home earlier than I expected. I wanted to call Mia and tell her how much I missed her, but I refrained from doing it because I wanted to see that look of surprise on her face tomorrow.

Next day, I was a bit late to the office because I got up late. I missed her a lot during the last couple of days and was really excited to see her today.

But when I reached the office, Mia was neither in her office nor mine. Neither was she in the kitchen. But I knew she was somewhere in the building, because I saw her purse in the office. So I just decided to patiently wait for her.

After a few minutes, the intercom rang pulling me out of my haze. It was dad.

"Hey, morning dad."

"Morning son. You are back early." He stated.

"Yeah, got everything under control and I was just missing you guys." I said.

"I'm your father, son. Don't try to fool me. I know whom you were missing." He joked.

"Yeah yeah. Fine dad. I was missing Mia." I said, laughing.

"Yeah, she has left my office to go back down. She would be there any second." My dad informed me. He was having immense fun teasing me.

"Great. Talk to you later dad." I said goodbye and disconnected.

As I was about to open the door, it opened itself. And in walked my beautiful girlfriend. I grabbed her by her waist and pushed her against the wall, kissing her. I loved how she melted in my arms when I kissed her and looped her arms around my neck.

"I missed you." I said in between my kisses.

"Its just been a couple of days. But I missed you too." She said, pulling away. I pulled her back to my mouth.

"You didn't tell me you were coming early." She said again.

"Yeah. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend. But you didn't look too surprised." I teased her, kissing her cheeks.

"Yeah, because Stephen already told me you must be in your office." She replied.

"Now, why did dad have to tell you all this. He could have just let it be a surprise." I said, pouting.

She pressed her lips to mine again, kissing me. Her kisses were so sweet and there was a hint of coffee on her lips.

"So much happened yesterday. I need to tell you all about it. That was the reason why Stephen wanted to see me in his office." She said, pulling back again.

"Tell me about it, but first let me kiss you." I bit her earlobe softly, teasing her.

And so now, we were sitting on the couch in my office, coffee in our hands. I was patiently waiting for her to tell me what happened. She looked somewhat nervous, maybe anxious, I don't know. I've never seen her so fidgety.

"Okay. So on Sunday dad called me and said he wanted me to meet someone and talk about something important. It was just me, your dad, my dad and that one person. Now apparently, that person is shifting one of his branches here and dad suggested that it would be great if I will be the CFO." She said, all in a single breath.

"What the hell is wrong with your dad. Does he even know this person. I'm confused. Can you please elaborate.?" I was genuinely confused. I don't know what she was trying to get at. It seemed like she herself hasn't sorted it out in her head.

She started narrating the entire story from the beginning. I tried not to interrupt her with too many questions. But I noticed how she refrained from saying that person's name out loud. It made me wonder who that person was and if she really knew her. So, I decided to ask.

"Okay, but what did you say that person's name was.?" I asked her.

"I did not say the name. And I really don't think you would want to hear it." She said.

I had a slight intuition about who that person might be. And, her nervousness and that way she reacted to that proposal yesterday were hints enough. I took her hand in mine and squeezed them gently.

"Was it Ashton, your ex.?" I asked quietly.

Her head turned up so fast, I could swear I heard a crack. She did not like hearing or saying his name out loud.

"How did you know.?" She asked, her voice small.

"What did he do to you, Mia. I've never seen you so nervous, so anxious. It seems like the Mia I knew for almost a year was another person and you are someone else. How did you manage to hide so much of yourself.?" I asked, pulling her onto my lap.

"I don't..... can we just not talk about it right now. I rejected his offer. After I left the restaurant, he came after me to the parking lot, and asked me take my time and think about the offer. I simply left without answering." She said in a small voice.

This was not my Mia. She was always very cheerful. I've never seen her getting nervous or anxious. She was a very self composed and confident woman. But the Mia who was sitting here in front of me was very timid. Her eyes were constantly glassed over. She seemed as if she might break down any moment.

"Stephen and dad, both of them want me to take up this job. I did not talk to dad after what happened in the restaurant. But Stephen called me up to his office today to talk about it. He tried to convince me with various reasons why I should accept this offer. I think I've disappointed both of them. I feel so bad." I let her talk all she wanted, she needed to take it all out of her system.

"You have disappointed no one babe. Whether you want to take up Ashton on his offer is totally upto you. No one can coerce you into it. Now, just forget everything that happened. Lets talk about something else. Just give me a smile, babe. I don't like it when you are sad." I said, trying to lighten the mood.

But, there was still no smile on her face. I think, if I ever see her ex again, I'm gonna bash his face.

I started peppering kisses all over her face and tickling her. That did the trick, and my sweet Mia was smiling again. It was already lunch time, so we ordered in cheeseburgers and fries.

At around 5.30, Mia peeped into my office.

"Hey, will it be okay if I stayed over at your place tonight. Actually, Liv will be staying over at Alex's. And I don't want to be alone." Mia asked me.

"You don't need to ask darling. You can stay over whenever you want." I said, beckoning her inside. There was a small smile on her face.

"How about I will go to my apartment, grab my clothes and essentials for tomorrow and then come meet you at your place." She suggested. But another idea struck in my head.

"Okay. But how about, I stay over at your place tonight. It would be time saving. And I've never spent much time at your place." I suggested.

"That would be just perfect." Mia replied. Now she had a more genuine smile on her face.
