Under The Sheets

(I can't believe I updated! Anyways, enjoy this chapter because I can't believe that I will update today, cause of the tight schedule I have.)

Am I really seeing, what I am seeing?

My room is a whole new room. The walls aren't white anymore, it is now painted with blue. My bed is well made and I've got a new lamp. Everything was just so cool that makes me not want to touch a single detail from it, cause I think I will ruin everything.

"Mom, slap me" I said.

"Okay!" Mom was about to slap me but stop herself and said "Wait! What?"

"I said slap me" I face her this time.

"Why?" She shrugs.

"Just do it!" I said and with that mom's palm made contact on my cheek and it made me feel the stinging sensation.

I shake my head, blink so many times, and the view in front of me is still there.

"Honey, if you're thinking that you're dreaming, I'm sorry to say but you aren't" mom laugh "Go on and jump on your new bed" she added.

"You know, I don't wanna do that" I lean at the right side of the door frame, while mom leans on the other side.

"Before, you would actually jump on your bed, and after messing around, you would actually call one of our maids to fix it" mom crosses her arms on her chest.

"Well, that was before mom. I'm a whole new person now" I smiled a cheeky smile.

"That's good!" She nodded "A whole new room and a whole new person, pretty interesting huh?".

Suddenly, mom pushes me in and close the door.

What was that for?

"You should come in and touch those stuffs, cause I'm tired of leaning on your door frame" mom shouted from outside.

I laugh at her statement and went over to my new bed. I rub the cotton blanket and feel the soft fabric it was made out of, and I feel very satisified with it. I slowly sit on the bed and it is amazingly comfortable, so out of nowhere, I just started bouncing on the bed making the bed let out a creaking sound as I basically bounce at it.

I'm not planning on jumping on my bed, actually I'm just going to bounce on it as in my butt does the work and not my feet. It sounds crazy but yeah, I honestly enjoy bouncing on my new bed.

After a few more bouncing, I lie on my new bed.

Diana's P.O.V

Right now, I am actually in the meeting room with the president, Austin, and other company representatives, talking about stuffs cause I am actually happy for the company since there are more and more companies who are encourage to invest in Carter Queens Inc.

Okay, just to let you guys know, I'm not bragging, but I'm telling you that this company where I am working out has the best baby products. It's not just the best, but it has good safety features and I'm telling you that our our products are a hundred percent durable.

"I am going to invest on your company" the Asian guy wearing glasses said.

"Are you sure Mr. Lin?" Mr. Carter asked.

"I am" the guy named Mr. Lin answered.

"Yes sir! The contract will be printed out later on" Austin butted in.

Austin is now talking to me, "Diana, could you please print out the contract?".

"Right away, sir" I answered.

I stood up from my seat, went out of the meeting room, and went in Mr. Carter's office. I turn the computer on and search through folders for the contract. I click the right document and started printing it.

While waiting for the contract to be printed, I open one of the drawers and got a manila folder out of it. I went back to the the computer table, and pull the paper out of the printer and placed it in the folder.

After turning the computer off, I went out of the office and went back in the meeting room.

"Here is the contract, Mr. Lin" I set the folder in front of Mr. Lin and went back to my chair.

"If you could just read the terms and conditions on the contract sir and sign it, the deal will be seal and everything will just be fine" Mr. Carter said.

I watch Mr. Lin as he read the contract carefully, while the other people in the room does something and I don't know why, but my forehead is sweating. The air condition is actually set eighteen degrees, yet I don't know why the fuck am I sweating.

Suddenly, I felt a hand over mine that was placed on my lap. I look at it and the hand held my hand really tight. The hand is hard and it's pretty obvious that it's a man's hand, not to mention that it is callused. I trailed my eyes from the hand to the elbow, to the neck, and lastly, the face.

Austin?

He look at me and I look at him with a poker face. Why is he actually holding my hand? Is there a meaning behind it. I slowly remove his hand from mine and decided to place my hands on top of the long table, so he wouldn't even dare hold it again cause if he does, then each and everyone that's in this room will see it and I'm telling you, it will be a scandal.

Oh no! It's not the scandal you think. I think the ones in your minds aren't the right meaning of the scandal I just said, it's the other one. Please! Don't be too malicious.

Honestly, it's really getting more awkward everytime Austin and I have a conversation, because he will do an action that will make me feel uneasy about stuffs, that usually ends up me not minding him and basically snobbing him.

Finally, the meeting ended with Mr. Lin signing the contract and I'm happy about it. Everyone left the room except for me, of course, I still have to turn off all the lights and arrange the stuff in here. I hear the door close and it made me look at the door's direction.

Why didn't Austin leave?

Why is he still here in the meeting room?

Usually, if there's a meeting, I am the only one who is left in the room.
