love finds its way around

Chapter 7

It's daylight already Leigh Anne and I has had breakfast already. After that I put Carmela to sleep. I already told Mrs Grammy about Leigh Anne being around earlier this morning before  making breakfast and now Leigh Anne and I are seated on the stairs right in front of the front door of my apartment.
"So I forgot to ask yesterday, does your CEO know it's you?" Leigh Anne asks she has her hair packed in a messy ponytail leaving the other strands to be flying around with her bangs in place. She's wearing a shorts with a yellow polo while I'm wearing a shorts with a pink polo. My hair is packed into a nice bun and I don't have bangs.
"Nope and I like it this way" I reply simply
She nods in understanding. "So what's his name"
There goes the question I don't have answer to, it didn't hit me to know it. "I don't know it" I tell her honestly
She gawks at me surprised. "You work with someone and you don't know his name?"
"Errr technically, I work with him doesn't mean I'm supposed to know his name I just call him 'sir'" I tell her
She scoffs looking away from me "So do you intend to tell him about Carmela"
"No not at all" I say defiantly "I'm scared of him finding out what if he takes her away from me, he's wealthy those sort of things happen" I explain
"I can see that's your view" she says simply
I turn to her with a questioning look. "What do you mean my view, am I not right, do you want me to tell him about Carmela"
She turn to look at me with her hands resting on my shoulders. "Listen here Lorri, this is about Carmela you're depriving her from knowing her father if you do that" she says softly "It would affect her later"
"But she could loose her mother if that happens" I mutter slowly which Leigh definitely heard
"You can't just conclude like that"she says
Leigh is right. I didn't think of it this way, I'm depriving Carmela from knowing her father but I'm scared, I don't want to loose her for anything. I'll drop this topic now and I'll let him know but not now. My phone vibrates beside me I check the caller
"Who?" Leigh asks with her eyebrows raised
"Ummm an unknown number should I answer it" I say wondering who it could be
"Yh sure"
I pick up placing the phone on my ear. *Hello who's this?*
*Seriously? get dressed I'm coming to pick you up* the caller says and I immediately recognize the voice
I roll my eyes. *How did you get my digits?*
*I have your file now get dressed* he orders
*My calendar says today is Saturday and its definitely not a work day* i say folding my free hand like I could see him
*Yh I'm taking you shopping, there's an outing on my schedule for Monday and you're going with me so no excuses and get ready I'm coming to pick you*
I groan i can't even have my peaceful Saturday
*Did you just groan at your CEO*
I slowly face palm myself sighing into it. *I'm getting ready sir*
*Better* he says i can tell a smirk is plastered on his face now, he hangs up
I turn to look at Leigh who's looking at me confused
"It's my CEO" I huff with a tired sigh as I rest my head on my palm
A smile crawls on Leigh's lips "what did he say"
"Why are you smiling" I ask instead
She nudges me "come on what did he say"
I roll my eyes "He's taking me shopping for an outing" I say simply
"Wow so why are you still seated here come on" she grabs my hand pulling me inside

*******
The ride is going on well with me looking out the window as usual.
"Is my face that handsome that you prefer to look out the window don't worry I know you're shy around me, it's totally understandable". I listen to him praise himself with an eye roll
I turn to face forward "I won't look out the window again sir" I say with a forced smile
He smiles looking at the road "Why don't you seem free around me like you're hiding yourself for some reasons"
I turn to look at him taking in his facial features. "I'm not" I lie
I'm clearly restricting myself yes but how come he's paying attention to me to notice only Leigh can notice when I hide myself besides I'm doing this to prevent myself from making any form of mistakes by mistakes I mean letting my heart wander around and to keep my emotions in check
"If you say so" he says not sounding convinced. I haven't looked away from him, he looks good I must admit but it's not right to admire his looks no not right.
"Oh someone's checking me out, my looks don't fail me you know" he winks at me
I turn away from him to the window. A smile slowly appears on my face, I let it fade as soon as it appeared. I can't smile around him, I shouldn't.
