Familiar Face

/29/

WE MAKE TIME FOR THE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT~ Williams Houston.

KHLOE DIAMOND
Work was hectic, even though I had been some work from home, it still doesn't remove the fact that I had been away from work and some had piled up in my absence.

Hilda resumed work today and we surely didn't miss a nasty comment from little miss nasty herself. She had been too quiet for so long and had just suddenly became her usual self.

Hilda and I walked out of the company doors at exactly 5pm, extremely tired. We were shocked by two black exotic car parked right in front of me with men in suit alighting from it.

I wondered why they were here at the company and paid attention to them just in case they meant trouble, well.... not until I saw one familiar face.

He was with Will the day he came to kidnap me from the restaurant in my dreams. I must have seen him with Will before, for him to appear in my dreams or was I dreaming again? He was one of his men who went ahead and footed my bills.

Why was he here and was Will also here? I thought within myself but he was nowhere in sight.

"Miss, you would need to come with us" the familiar man told me.

"And you are?" I asked him.

"Collins, and our boss wants you now". He said firmly with a straight face.

Way to go Will!

"Who are they?" Hilda whispered in my ear.

"Will's men" I replied with a frustrated look.

Don't get me wrong, I have no issues seeing Will, I just believe this is unnecessarily cheesy.

"Ohhhhh, their boss wants you now" she told me repeating what Collins had said but with a dirty look while laying emphasis on "wants".

I rolled my eyes at her before turning back to Collins.

"Tell your boss I can't see him now, I am too tired to go anywhere". I told him.

He stayed quiet for a moment and said "He said he will take care of that".

"Wait, is he here or........ let me speak with him directly". I said but he only shook his head.

"He said he would have called you if he wanted that". With that, he signaled the other men who came to carry me.

Wtf!!

"Hilda, report this as an abduction" I yelled but Hilda only laughed at me as the men dumped me in their car.

I wondered why he had sent so many men, so this was his plan. They were four, Collins included and came in two cars.

The moment they placed me in the backseat of one of the cars, I saw his stupid face.

"Will! What the fuck!" I yelled at him and tried getting out of the car but it was too late, one of his men was driving already.

We had just two of them here, one drove while the other sat at the passenger side. The others were in the other car.

"Calm down love, I just wanted to spend time with you". He told me but that didn't sit well with me.

He could have just asked me to see him, I could have told him if I could or not. This was him forcing me to spend time with him against my Will.

"You could have asked, called or texted. Things don't work this way! Is this your first time dating?" I asked him.

I had mentioned the word dating before realizing what I had said.

"Dating? Are we dating now? Well.... this is my first time dating and I'm glad it's you". He replied with a smile bright enough to light up this whole world.

"I didn't mean us, I just....."

"It's fine love, dating is fine! I couldn't possibly wish for more" he replied.

"Really? You'd just date? Nothing more?" I asked him.

"Oh, that's right.... what more do we do. We already held hands" he replied with a wink.

Dirty thinking motherfucker!

I caught his men stifling their laughter which made me feel embarrassed. Why the fuck was he doing this to me?

"I was talking about dating leading to marriage, I mean you said you couldn't wish for more, so all you'd do is date?" I explained further to him.

By his expression, I realized my explanation was not necessary as he already understood earlier and was just toying with me.

"Drop me off!" I yelled at him.

"I'm sorry okay? Calm down. I was just kidding. Actually, I wanted us to go shopping for a dress in hopes you'd attend a party with me as my date". He said.

A party with Williams Houston? I can only imagine the kind of people who would be attending. Such party would only make me feel inferior and see the difference between my world and his.

"I can't go to a party with you Will" I told him firmly.

"Why? It's just a birthday bash for the governor". He told me like that was supposed to make me feel better.

"Now that is more reason I can't go. I'm sorry" I told him.

He sighed!

"It's fine! Let's just get you some things and take you home". He replied and focused on his phone.

Was he mad at me? The silence was quite uncomfortable and I wasn't sure how to break it. Definitely not with an apology.

"You know there is no need shopping for anything, I have more than enough already and I am too tired to shop". I told him.

His men looked back almost immediately but were quick to return their focus on the road within a split second.

"Let's head back to her house". He told his man driving.

"Yes sir" he replied and turned around almost immediately.

We sat quietly all through the ride, he was focused on whatever he was doing on his phone while I was just uncomfortable.

Once we got to my place, I made sure to get out of the car as quickly as possible. It had been one hell of a ride.

He alighted with me and walked me to my door quietly.

"I'm sorry for picking you up against your will, planning to attend a party with you without your permission but Khloe, I am also a very busy person you know and right before I came to pick you up, I had just returned Paris on a business trip. You know I told you about that, and trust me I deserve all the rest I can get". He paused and gave me a sad smile.

"I'm not guilt tripping you Khloe, I just wanted you to understand that we make time for the people we care about. Really, I'm sorry". He added and turned to leave.

I was going to call him back but Chris's call just had to come in at that moment. I was torn between picking the call and speaking with Will before he leaves.

"Hey Chris" I said as I picked up.
I was stupid to have called the name as I noticed Will stopped for a moment at the mention of his name.

"Now? I should call Anderson then, will you meet me at the hospital?" I asked to which he replied with a "Yes".

I hurried for my car which was not there, neither was Kelvin's car. He must have gone somewhere with Hilda. I only had two choices, catch a ride with Will or order a ride.

I chose the latter! All of these while Will quietly watched me. He watched me make my way to Chris.

The truth was, I felt sorry but I couldn't explain to him that I refused to go with him just because of my low self-esteem.
