The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 5🌑

Talat's point of view

I walked up towards Mathew's table, pulling on my jacket in the meantime. A few others were around him, lurking nearby for gossip.

As soon as they see me coming, they scattered and everyone get back to work.
I don't see why they fear me, I ain't the boss and the boss treats me no different than he does them. Maybe it's not fear, maybe it's respect, but how can I know? I don't intend my employees to bow their heads everytime they see me. I want to be a boss that can throw a party now and then, but no, I'm not the boss.

I pull out a seat and sat next to Matthew, I pull the seat close next to him, until our knees brush. I saw him shift.

"Talat, I'm sorry," He said, squeezing a pen in his palm. Stopping his hand, I held it down on the desk and I noticed something for the first time; the way his breath quicken and how shaky he is when around me.

Hell, no

"Forget that, just hurry up and find my car, here let me give you my number," I got up and without the intention of being close to him; I lean across him and choose another pen. I wrote my car number down and looked at him.

I cleared my throat and step aside.

"Track it," I said, pushing my hands in my pockets.

He stared at me with such dreamy eyes, I almost scream in frustration. His perfect almond hair and body is to die for, why doesn't he stop looking at me like that?

"Mathew!"

"Ahh!" He jump, his nerves seems to snap, the pen in his sweaty palms dropped and I roll my eyes.

"Has your supervisor, hum, I think it's best if you stay here and -"

"I'll get myself another supervisor by the end of the day, by the way I didn't need a supervisor, let the boss put you on Shane's team," I snap on him and walk out of there.

You fucking need me to sit there all day, maybe so you can look at me, why I'm I so stupid? I didn't noticed before

Caroline's point of view

Hey siri🗣 play slow then suspenseful music 👏

I pulled the car over in a quite area. I've never been around this part before, in fact I haven't been much of anywhere. I noticed two lonely dogs were walking nearby, they looked so hungry, as if they haven't eaten in weeks.

"Come puppy, come," I got out of the car, leaving the door open. I looked around but excepts from the houses; I see no one. I opened the box that dad had given me and I saw a small something.

"What is this?" I asked, curious. I pulled it out but it was a small box. I set it aside as the friendly dogs came around me, wagging their tails.

"Aww, you are so cute, where did you get such beautiful eyes from?" I asked one of them. Its eyes were green in it's brown head meanwhile the other one has it's head bowed down as if it were shy.

Setting the box cutter aside, I pulled out a sandwich.

"Aww dad, you bought it," I said softly, removing it from the wrapper. I turn around and stoop down.

"You see greeny and shy guy, my dad bought this for me, because I always love this sandwich growing but it looks like you haven't eaten in weeks. You see how kind I am?"

They wag their tails and run around excited, so I broke it into half and give each piece.

As I set it down, I saw a shadow above me. A Tall black shadow that stands behind me. My whole body stiffen and I pat the dog head and did a flip over them, which caught me by surprise, I haven't flick like that in years, due to my lack of interest, but now it comes in handy.
