I drop my face in my hands for probably the 100th time today.     

All the designs I've been viewing are nothing but shit. Either they are copied or just plain.

At this point I'll have to fire every person working for me.

On top of that I have to wrap up the contract with Mateo's company.

All the profit, fame, attention and how the public reacted. Everything is noted down.

If a business is failing they make an extremely weird step to get attention.

"Stop glaring at the poor wall, it'll shatter in seconds" Mateo taunts walking in with Mils.

"The wall has experienced it before and still stands" I reply forcing a smile.

I see Mateo smile while shaking his head at my remark while Mils looks at the cups of coffee on my table.

"How many coffees did you have today?" Mateo asks sitting across me while Mils sits on the couch.

"Lost count" I reply.
"Well that's fucking bad" He mumbles.

"I heard that, money in the swear jar dada" Mils grins.

Mateo sighs giving Mils a random card.

"Did you give her your credit card?" I ask.
"It only has a couple thousands on it" He dismisses.

"Watch her but a shit tonne of cupcakes with it" I whisper.

"I wouldn't be surprised" He laughs faintly.

Same.

"You look tired" Mateo hums.

"Did you come with me to the book store to actually buy books or just comment on my appearance?"  I ask.

"Favourite book?" He questions ignoring my previous response.

"Ignite me" I reply.

I walk further down the aisle, scanning every books spines.

I feel Mateo follow my actions.

He looks like a lost puppy.

"Mateo, you're following me" I sigh.

He said he will just be at the same place as me, not follow me around.

"Those girls over there are looking at me like I'm their favourite food" Mateo says getting closer.

So close, I can feel his heat radiating off him.
