His Muffin

lost track of time

CHAPTER 18

{Xavier Knight}

The party is in a week and I'm kind of nervous to meet Amaya's friends.

This morning I woke up and as always, Amaya had already left for work so now I am getting ready.

As I walk out the door I bump into someone.

"Sorry. Oh, hey. Are you going to work?" Jen apologizes.

"Yeah," I nod.

She looks around, "Could you take me with you? my car is in the shop and I missed the bus."

"Yeah sure," I don't really see a problem with that.

We settle into the car and she turns to me.

"By the way, I wanted to apologize for the muffin thing. I don't know why I did that," she mumbles.

"Yeah it's okay just don't do it again," she hasn't done anything since so I'm glad she apologized. Maybe she isn't that bad anymore.

"Oh my god. It's still open," she laughs and I turn to where she was pointing. A café. Well, our café. The one we would go to like every single day.

"Yeah," I smile.

"We should go there again. I miss the cake," she grumbles.

I laugh a bit, "Yeah we'll check it out but I don't think they have the same menu from years ago."

"About that too. I should've told you everything," she gives me a sad look.

"It's okay. The past is the past. I'm glad you are okay now," I nod.

"Yeah. You seem happy now," she mentions.

I grin, "yeah I am really happy. Amaya is amazing."

She turns the other way, "Yeah she seems nice. I feel bad, I've been a bitch to her but she has always been nice."

"I don't think she cares much. I know she doesn't want you hurt but she also forgives people easily. Just apologize if you feel that bad, I'm sure she'll forgive you," I assure her.

She looks back at me and smiles, "I will."

As we reach the office, we both walk in and I spot Amaya immediately.

She smiles at me and her eyes turn to Jennifer, who is beside me.

I reach her and Jennifer goes straight to the back, "Hey muffin."

"Hello. Just on time sir," she glances at her phone.

"Yup," I grin.

"Here," she hands me my muffin.

Jen walk out and looks at us for a second before turning away, "she needed a ride so I gave her one."

Amaya nods, "Good, you shouldn't be so mean to her."

"Yeah, I'm working on it," I laugh and give her a lingering kiss.

"Alright enjoy sir, there are other customers I must assist," she exaggerates, wiping her head like she is sweaty.

I grin, "Yes ma'am. have a nice day."

"You too," she smiles.

"Bye baby," I wave, turning and walking away into the elevator.

After I'm done with my work I walk out to my car and start driving, that's when I spot Jen at the bus stop.

I stop in front of her, rolling down my window. "Come on I'll drop you."
