My defiant love

Chapter 8

Micah POV:

I walked behind the waiter, down the middle of the restaurant towards the back where our table sat, where Benjamin should have sat but maybe I was a bit early.

After 5 minutes a waitress came, "would you like something to drink?" The brunette asked in a sweet voice as she looked at me, she wore a black v-neck sweater that she had pushed down to show her cleavage.

"Just a scotch for now" I said without looking up from the menu, "my friend is running a little late so I'll wait". With a quick 'yes sir' she went back to the bar.

A minute later Benjamin came rushing to our table. "Sorry I'm late, got an emergency call from my wife, you know how woman are" he said as he sat down, just as the brunette waitress came over and leaned down to place my drink on the table so we almost where face to face with her cleavage, which Benjamin stared at for a minute before he gave her a smirk.

Disgusting pig. I sighed and looked at my clock after he had order a glass of whiskey and some pesto chicken and I order a spaghetti with bolognese.

"Alright let's get to the business part we're here for, we're not here for a dinner date". "Always so impatient dane" ,another stupid hidden identity name because I'm not the most creative person.

"But fine, we're both CEO's and we both take our job very seriously, I have watched you and your company for a long time and I must say I'm impressed by your sense for all of this" he said as he took a bite of of his chicken.

I swirled some paste around my fork and took a bite, "it has been hard to manage a company since my grandfather left, but I'm doing my best" I said, swirling the scotch around my class and taking a big sip.

Another identity: there is no grandfather, just me under different names. "That's why I'm looking to expand, and that's where you come in the picture" I said and pointed my fork at him while munching.

So for another 40 minutes we sat and discussed our businesses.

"Is everything good, everything as it should be?" The waitress came and asked when we were almost done. "Yes thank you, it's delicious" he winked at her and she blushed before she walked away.

Another 10 minutes of boring business talk.

"Thank you for dinner dane" Benjamin clapped my back after paying the waitress for our food, no doubt slipping her a note that said to call him when she was done with her shift.

With a sign I walked back to the hotel, yes hotel, because for the past 4 days I have been in another city on business trip.

I checked the clock, 14:16, my driver didn't come for another half an hour and all my stuff was packed so I decided to go for a walk.

I walked a little around town looking at store windows and walking past little food carts, nothing too interesting. "Crepes, come and get your delicious crepes, with chocolate, strawberries, bananas, caramel, delicious treat" one shouted and I thought why not.

I bought one plate with chocolate and bananas and stood near the corner as I ate. "This is delicious" I said to the middle aged Asian woman who ran the food cart.

After throwing the paper plate in the trash I walked on.

After 10 minutes I walked past a book store, halt, didn't Quinn have a bookshelf in her room? Maybe she likes reading? No matter what I went in cause I do have a surprise for my little mate.

I looked around the shelves and found the book I looked for, I picked it up, paid, and then I was on my way back to the hotel to get my things and waited for the driver.

The drive home took 4 hours, to say I wanted to go to bed was an understatement. As soon as sat my bag down on the floor of my bedroom the doors burst open by Luca that quicker than lightning engulfed me in an almost bone crashing hug.

"My bestie is finally home, I missed you so much" he said. I tried to wriggle out "get your ass off me". "I'll let you know this is a very fine ass" he sassed after letting me go.

"How was the trip?" He asked as he went over to my mini bar in the living room. " a lot of boring business talks and dinners blah blah blah, a lot of stupid business people".

"Sounds so boring, that's why I could never work in an office" he said and took a swig of his beer.

"I got two tickets to a football game on Saturday, your coming", I grunted in response from my spot at the sofa. "Oh and BTW, we're going on a double date".

"Are you serious!?" I shouted as I stood up. "There's this girl that I really like so I invited her out, but her and her best friend are like sisters so she didn't really wanna go out with me and leave her alone, so naturally I said I had a single friend she could go on a double date with- so now.. you're going with us...... on a double date" he said the last while looking anywhere but me.

I crossed my arms for a minute while he shrunk, "dude what the hell?!" "I'm sorry man, but come on bro, please" he begged.

"No" I said after a minute of thinking. He went down to the floor and crawled over to my pant leg, "Please please pleaseeeee" he begged with puppy dog eyes.

I let out an irritated sigh and uncrossed my arms "okay fine, I'm going with you, happy?" I said as I walked over to get a glass of whiskey.

He did his little happy dance and said "thank you, you're not gonna regret this."

"Yeah yeah, but get out, I'm exhausted" I shooed him away. "Yes sir" he saluted, "night bro" he said as he closed my door.

Sweet sweet bed, after a shower and getting ready I hopped into bed.
