" Chelsey !!!! "
" Oh my god , my holy eyes !! "" Can you lower down your shrilly voice !? " I said in panic as I went and covered her mouth ,
" Listen , it is not what it looks like "" It is exactly what it looks like " Linc buttoned his shirt and walked towards me handing over my dress .
" You should have at least called me , Mannie "
" How would I have know that my ' strict in business ' bestie is making out in her office !? " She exclaimed sarcastically , " by the way who's the hot hunk ? "
" I am Lincoln , Lincoln Stewart "
" Well Hello Lincoln , Lincoln Stewart ... Is he ur boy toy for the week ? "
" Mannie can you just shut ... He's my b-boyfriend ... "
" OHHHH MYYYYYY GAWDDDDDDD !! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS !? THE ICE QUEEN HERSELF GOT A BOYFIE !! "
" yeah ... "
" You have to be got kidding me "
" No , I am serious . "
" I'll give you two time .. Peaches , I'll meet you at home tonight " He planted a gentle kiss on my forehead before leaving ,
" Heyy ! Lincoln ! Wait ! " Mannie asked Linc to wait ,
" Yes , Miss ? "
" See , Chelsey isn't alone in this relationship , you both are .. you both need to come clean "
" I guess .. she is right " I gave Linc a subtle smile telling him everything gonna be alright . I saw Linc's face , it brightened up , I know Linc thought that I would be against in coming clean or I would want to keep this relationship a secret , but I don't want that , I want us .
We seated ourselves , there was a bit of awkwardness and nervousness in the air ,
" So how long you two ? "
" A week "
" Yeah .. it was love at first sight "
" Really ? I am very happy for you two .. I hope Linc , you take good care of my lil trouble "
" I do try my best with Ms. Sassypants "
Laughter filled up the air , both giggled so hard that seeing both of them laughing I couldn't keep my serious composure , I also
let out my .. laugh ," Wait .. what's that I just heard ? Is Ms. Sassypants laughing ? Am I dreaming ? Lincoln pinch me "
" See .. I ask her to laugh and let loose , but she doesn't "
" Oh you two dramatic ass ! Stop it "
" Yeah okay okay "
" Do your company knows about it ? "" No .. "
" When do you plan on telling them ? "
" I guess we should wai- "
" How about today , right now ? " I cut in Linc and gave my proposal , I know how much Linc wanted us to official but he was keeping it all low because of the reputation I hold .
" Chels ... Just listen to me once "
" Yeah , obviously I will .. but we will tell everyone today only , it's not on debate "
" I'll give you two time , I'll be waiting downstairs " Mannie said as she was about to leave the office ,
" Heyy Mannie ! Can you ask Joe to arrange a meeting with all the employees as soon as possible , like in 10 minutes or so ? "
" Yeah sure , on my way "
" Peaches .. don't do this "
" Don't do what Lincoln ? "
" These all .. let's keep it low Chels , you have a huge event in December and I don't want to barge in and cause problems within your company "
" Linc .. I love you and my company , both . I want us Lincoln , I don't really want to keep it a secret .. let the world know about us "
" It's been only a week Chels .. what if I am not the one for you ? "
" Do you doubt me , Lincoln ? I don't doubt you for a second Linc , there's no other you in my life .. you are the one for me "
He didn't say a thing , his lips crashed on mine and this time , it was neither hunger nor lust , it was love , true love this time .. it felt different from our past kisses . It was like , he is making me his , and I am making him mine .. for forever and we are not ready to let go each other .
I know people say love at first sight is so shallow , only can happen in fantasies , I also believed the same .. but then this man walked into my life and turned it upside down , I fell in love at first sight and I am falling in more and more ." Let's go ? You ready for it ? "
" Yeah .. let's go "
" Babe , no matter what happens there , I love you .. okay ? "" I love you too .. "
We headed towards the meeting area , hand in hand .
