THE DRUNK CALL

#10

The Next morning I woke up early and took extra time to clean myself. I don't know why I'm feeling like something is going to happen today. Something good.

I got ready actually too ready for school but I don't care. Maybe I might go on a date with Ian later.

One last time Khloe again forced me to call Ian and talk to him and I told her that I'll do it after school. She didn't look convinced but didn't argue anymore.

Yes, I am going to ask him but I was kinda nervous. I don't know what to do. I just had a breakup with my 4-year-old relationship and in just a week I'm feeling attached to this guy I met in some unusual circumstances.

I spent the whole day thinking about if I should call him or not. In the end, I decided to give it a try.

I called Ian, but when he didn't pick up, I felt turned down. But instantly he called me back.

"Hey, I'm sorry I missed your call. I was in a meeting." He apologized.

"No, it's okay. I'm sorry to disturb you. You can go back to the meeting." I felt sorry for distributing gosh.

"No, tell me what it is?" He asked.

"It was nothing important. Seriously" now I felt nervous as hell.

"Kiara," hearing my name from his mouth made me melt in his voice.

"I just wanted to ask, if you're free tonight so we could go for dinner but that's okay. I mean you have a meeting. We can do that someday later." I suddenly started to babble.

"Kiara, relax. And yes I'm in a meeting but it's going to end soon. If you don't mind, can you come to my workplace? We can go from here together. I don't want you to wait somewhere else."

Wait! Does he really agree?

"Yes! I'm about to leave, can you message me the address? " I said.

"Yes! Don't need to ask anyone, just come up to the 50th floor of McK main building."

Wait! McK? It's the same place where Jason and his so-called bimbo work.

"You work there?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yes, is there a problem?" He asked.

Yes!

"No! It's just that I really like the brand. I'll see you there in 15 minutes." I lied and laughed.

Why the hell is God doing this to me?

I groaned and took my bag. Why does he have to work at the same place?

Wait! But why am I getting frightened off?

I don't do anything wrong, it's my ass ex who did. I have nothing to fear.

But if Jason saw me and Ian there, he's going to think I'm doing this to make him jealous. Fucking shit! I don't want to see him.

Oh, okay! I will go there and wait for Ian. I'm not going inside the building. And avoid any possibility of getting caught by Jason. I don't deal with him, not especially today.

Taking a deep breath, I started to drive.

Exactly 15 minutes later I was standing in front of the McK's huge building. I messaged Ian that I have reached and he asked me to wait for him in his office as he needed 10 more minutes to end the meeting.

I don't tell him my actual reason and make things uncomfortable between us. I don't want him to feel uneasy in his workplace. He hates Jason as much as I do.

So, here I am, collecting all my courage to step inside and avoid meeting anyone.

Just when I was about to take a step I heard someone calling my name and guess it was the same guy I wanted to avoid the most.

Fuck my life!

"Kiara?" Jason called me and I took my time to turn and look at him.

I can't believe it's the same person who used to bring smiles to me and now I only feel hurt and hate toward him.

"Jason" his name burns my tongue like venom.

"What are you doing here at my workplace?" He asked, coming closer to me.

"You're not the only one who works here Jason, so don't flatter yourself," I said.

"Kiara, I know you hate but please let me explain. You even blacked my number"

"There is nothing to hear Jason, and I have no time for. Goodbye" I said and turned to leave but he held my hand.

This guy really has a death wish.

"Let go of me, Jason," I warned him. And he instantly let go of my hand.

"Sorry, but please Kiara, let me give you an explanation for once please." He begged me.

"What do you want to explain? How did you start cheating on me? Or when you decide you don't want me anymore? Well duh, I already saw enough so please, leave me alone and go to your girlfriend."

"It's not like Kiara, it was Jenny who first reached me and then things got heated. I never wanted to cheat you but you were too busy to spend time with me. I'm really sorry K. I feel so guilty and I'm willing to do anything to make you forgive me. I know you still love me and I want you back, please. K, babe give me one more chance, give us one more chance." What the hell?

"Are you out of your mind? First, you cheated on me and then blamed me and now you wanted me to give you another chance? Do I look stupid to you? Why would I give a cheater a second chance? For the fact, I stopped loving the exact moment you left my house after accusing me and disrespecting my dead parents. So get back to your girl or anywhere." I shrieked.

This guy knows how to ruin the mood.

"Kiara, you and I both know you're lying. And why would you come to my workplace if you don't have feelings for me?" He said coming closer to me.

He needs psychological help urgently.

"Look, I don't have any type of feelings for you and about coming here. I'm for someone else with whom I'm going on a date tonight. So, get your hopes down and leave me alone." I said for the last time. He's just wasting my time.

"You're lying. You just want me to get jealous. You still love me. I know you more than you know yourself." I knew this was going to happen. I know he's going to do this because he has a big ego issue with him.

I saw Ian walking towards me and he met my eyes. I smiled widely and turned to Jason.

"You don't believe me right?" I said and smirked evilly as the thought came to my mind. Jason looked at me with confusion written on his face.

Ian came closer to me and opened his mouth to say something.

"Kia-" I didn't give him a chance to complete as I grabbed his face and wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him right at the spot.
