To capture a heart

Chapter 5

Maya's POV

I sat down back in my chair and started on the presentation for the meeting on Friday, I got up to head to break room to grab some snacks but before I made to door someone knocked on the door " hey Maya it's me Dylan I didn't see you with Alice at lunch so I decided to bring your favorite, the carbonara pasta from the little diner down the street, Maya?". I waited a few more seconds and sat back down "yeah come in", he opened the door and came in "hey why weren't you at the diner for lunch?" 'Well I didn't want to see you yet' I thought to myself but told him that "well the vice president is..... I mean Noah and I had meeting, and he needs me make a presentation for Friday but I gonna pick up Jackson up from college for the thanksgiving break that day too so I just to want finish it before" he sat down and put the food front of me " you too, already it's his first day. No wonder Stephanie was annoyed after she came back from the meeting". I moved my papers out of the way to eat " thanks for food I was literally about to go I get some snacks, I'll pay back you" Dylan started laughing "first of all you know you can't survive with just snacks it makes your stomach hurts, and two you don't have to pay me back it's alright". I opened the to go plate it looked amazing I picked up the fork and started eating "mmmm this is good that place is amazing" " oh wait a minute you got some sauce on the corner of your lip" he picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of my lip , my face felt flushed " uh thanks" curse you Dylan for being such a gentlemen, how can get over you when you treat me like this. Me and Dylan spent an hour speaking well mostly him talking and me listening, "well let's get back to work before we get fired" he chuckled "yeah I'll talk to you later bye" he said and left. I sat back down and continued working, the hours went by so fast when I finally looked at the time it was eight fifty. So I picked up my stuff left the office walking to elevator I noticed Noah waiting for the elevator, why did it have to be him he's last person I wanna see. He looked up from his phone I noticed me "oh maya you're here this late?" " Well those paychecks don't write themselves" I said. This silence is killing me the elevator pinged and open we stepped in and he pressed the parking lot "are you also going to the parking lot?" " oh uh yes". Jesus why is this taking so long?! Hurry up " um Maya I was wondering if I could speak with you?" I looked at him with a confused face " I feel like we should talk about Sunday, I just feel like there so much awkward tension between us" he looked me " I also feel like I should have explanation on why did you cancel two days before the date you had 2 weeks do so" wait what 2 weeks I got told this two days before " wait what do mean 2 weeks?". He looked at me weirdly "to cancel see this is what I'm talking we should talk there's a lot misunderstandings going on, which in the future could effect our ethic as a team" yeah he's right having all these misunderstandings could hurt our chances for top magazine this year "alright let's head to this diner down the block from here" I pressed number one when it passed the 7th floor. With whirring of the elevator filling the silence between us. We walked for 10 more minutes, we walked in and up to the hostess stand "hello how many in your party" the girl asked "just two people" she picked up two menus and lead us to a booth in back of the diner we sat down and ordered two coffees. We sat in silence for a few seconds " so how was lunch?" He asked " Noah it's fine ok you don't have to make small talk, we are already past that with our current situation" he looked down at the mug with coffee " Of course, ok than I just feel like you owe me an explanation for the cancellation of our date, if you were in my position you would want one too". I decided to tell him the truth " Well first I'm sorry about this whole thing, second I didn't even know about the date until Friday, I basically figured it out by mistake"  he looked at me with wide eyes "you didn't know about until Friday, the Friday that just past" " Yea, so that's my explanation once again I'm so sorry about this." We sat there in silence for a few " Would you like to reschedule than?"
