In Piece And Pieces (Completed)

Chapter 30

Daniel pulled out his phone and tried not to be a little disappointed at who the caller ID was.
He had just arrived his penthouse suite after a long session with the team he was meant to work with for the next one month.
He'd expected it to be Macy but it was his mum instead.
'Hey mum'.
'Hello my baby. How has it been with you son? You barely even call your own mum'. His mum whined from the other end.
'I'm sorry mum. I've been busy with work'.
'When had it turned to a habit to be too busy for your own family?'.
'I'm really sorry ma,I'll try to keep in touch from now on'. He apologized again.
'It's alright. By the way,did you try out the tomato soup recipe I messaged you the last time'.
He could picture her face lighting up from just saying that.
'Mum,you should understand that I don't spend all my time in the kitchen, cooking.... . He stopped. '.....I did try it out and it was awesome'.
'Oh! Then,that means you'd like...'
He didn't let her finish the sentence. He already knew the rest of it.
'Mum. I'm away from home right now and trust me,there'll not be anytime to try out any new recipe but I promise you,as soon as I get home. I'd call you. You can even make a video and send me so I can learn directly from you'.
He was sure her smile now would light a whole cathedral.
He knew exactly how to deal with his mom.
'I'll run along now mum. I love you'.
'I love you too my boy. Now,take care,will you?'
He smiled.

Smooth one Daniel!

Just as he'd ended the call,his phone rang again.
It wasn't Macy.
It was Diamond.
'You should have a very convincing excuse to give me as to why you've been in Mexico since two weeks and refused to call me'. Her voice blasted into his eardrums immediately he picked the call.
'The queen of exaggeration. Please take it easy with me. I've only been here yesterday and today'. He laughed.
'Obviously, had I not called you,you wouldn't have called me'.
'We wouldn't know now, would we?' He grinned.
'I could tell you're grinning. Slimeball'. Her voice held accusation.
He laughed again.
'Seriously, D. I didn't come to Mexico to see you,unlike the last time. This time around, I came for business...Business'. He laid emphasis on the second 'business'.
'Whatever...'. She whined. '....When am I seeing you?'.
He racked his brain for the most suitable answer and finding none. He simply told her he'd call her as soon as he got the smallest space. That sounded convincing enough for the strong headed D.
She whined some more about him being the stiffest man she'd ever been so 'unfortunate' to meet and something else about him deliberately ignoring her last message where she'd offered him 'redemption' on a platter of gold.
'The way things are going,you might die a bitter bachelor'. She finally stopped talking.
He was fighting so hard to keep his laughter at bay now.
'You're such a drama queen,D'.

And you may be wrong too.

What if I'm one step away from finding true happiness?. He thought.

Macy was happiness and redemption put together.

And it was about time he called her.

'Can we quit talking now,so we'd have something to discuss when we actually meet?.
'Sure slimeball'. She said.

He ended the call swiftly.
He was becoming really impatient to hear from Macy and he missed her terribly.
He missed her smile,her body,her scent,her warmth. He might even have to go back to LA tomorrow morning and go to the appointment with her. Then persuade her to travel back with him immediately.
He was still weighing the possibilities when finally,she began to call him. It was a video call.

He hastily picked the call.

She was wearing a simple makeup and her ears were adorned with the studs he'd personally handpicked for her on one of their recent evening outings.
'I was about to melt from missing you and wanting to hear from you. It's a good thing you called me'. He smiled at her,happiness and warmth filling him up from just seeing her beautiful face.
She gave a small laugh.
'I miss you so much too'. She said simply.
'What have you been up to?'
'Nothing much. Just lazying around the house'.
'Couldn't you have taken a walk? A dip in the pool? The're so many things to do.'
'A walk,alone? No,thanks. I think I enjoy the walks better with you beside me...'
Was she trying to get sexy with him? Damn! He loved it.
'...About the dip in the pool. She continued. '...I've done that more times than I could count'.
'You must be really bored'.
'Yes,I am'.
'I could come take you tomorrow from the hospital. All you'd need to do is just pack a small bag'.
She gave him a knowing look.
'Oh! I think i know what you're doing. But I refuse to let you buy me over with that'.
'Uh!' He touched his chest in a mock pained way squeezed he face playfully. '...You wound me,Sweetheart. And you look damn pretty while doing it'.
She gave him that nut-driving smile again.
'Why did you wait till I was away to look this hot?' He needed to know because boy!,was she hot?
'I don't know what you're talking about. I look good all the time'. She waved her right hand nonchalantly.
'If you look 'this' good everyday and is few meters within my reach,I'd spend every single second ravishing you'.
Her cheeks turned red and she used both of her palms to cover the bright hue of her blushes,the act causing her to push up her creamy breasts to his hungry scrutiny.
He liked to tease and tempt her. He loved the way her eyelids grew heavy and her eyes usually darkened with desire whenever he did that.
He could feel his own rock hardedness down the center of his manliness.
He mentally added a 'cold shower' to his list of 'to do's' later in the night. Nothing could dampen his desires for her anyways.
'Daniel...' She dragged him back from his thoughts. '...I think I have to go now. Thank you for disorienting me for the whole evening'. Her blushes hadn't completely disappeared.
He laughed,long and hard.
'I didn't know I possessed such powers because obviously you're the one who makes me loose focus and direction each time I think of you'.
They argued on about who misses the other more and she finally won when she accused him of answering her call looking like one who just got off a panel beating session while she'd gone through the troubles of taking a warm bath,a 2 hour make up session and even perfume mixing classes just to have a video call with him.
When it was time to let her go,he did it reluctantly while promising himself that he'd call her later in the night and definitely surprise her by showing up in the hospital the next day and most definitely bring her to Mexico from there except if there was a need for her to pick her essentials from home.
