Beginning a New Era

Chapter 4: Trouble

That following night I had made my way back to Head Quarters meeting a very angry father. "Mind explaining where you've been?" He asked with his arms crossed. I thought that maybe I could pull this off and not get in trouble. "I did as you asked, " I said looking at him. "Yeah Dwyatt called me but August has informed me that you went somewhere else after you returned". He said in a more angered tone I looked down and responded " Alright fine I went to get my shipment back." I looked back up to meet his gaze "Are you crazy?! You could have been killed!" he yelled, "I'm sorry I just don't want people to underestimate me or think little of me." I replied as he stepped closer to me "You get your pride from me, but you can't let it cloud your judgment because I don't want to get a call that you're in the hospital or worse." He said as he hugged me close, "I am sorry." I spoke burying my face into his shoulder. "I want you to go home okay?" He said breaking the hug as he gave me that don't argue look. I did as I was told and went home and changed into my pajamas and ordered a pizza as I got situated on the couch to watch a movie when the doorbell rang. "Pizza here already?" I said to myself as I go open the door and to my surprise, it was Dwyatt "You are not my pizza," I spoke as he looked at me "I'm better than a pizza." He said looking me up and down "What do you want?" I asked with attitude "Well I came to see your dad but you'll do." He said as the pizza guy walked up to the door. I go to grab my money but Dwyatt already beat me to the punch line paying the pizza guy and walking in "You can't just walk into people's houses," I said going for the pizza box "Not so fast beautiful." He said lifting the pizza where I couldn't reach it "I'm sorry, thank you for the pizza," I said trying to get the pizza. "Where is your dad?" He asked handing me the pizza as I take it to the kitchen "I don't know he is kind of pissed at me right now," I said as I grabbed him and myself some tea "How did you piss him off?" He asked sitting on the couch as I come back to the Den and sit down the tea and couple slices of pizza. "Well Drewcifer stole one of our shipments and I went to handle business and wants me to give him my vendor's information," I replied sitting down eating a slice of pizza "What did you tell him?" he asked sipping his tea curiously as was eating, "I told him, no, of course, I don't do business with people who steal from me and to give me my shipment back or else," I replied looking at him I then asked, "What did you want to see my dad for?" with that he replied, "Well I was going to discuss what he plans to do now that he is no longer in charge." I sighed putting my pizza down and drank my tea "Well your gonna be here for a while he is probably yelling at the guys or having a drink," I said with a smile as he looked over at me and asked, "So what do you do when you aren't dealing with the gang?" I looked at him "I play video games, I just finished my last year in business school so it will come in handy for the years to come" I replied looking at him realizing he was staring at me, "I'll have to move you up one day," he replied with a smile as I laugh "Thanks but I don't want people to think I slept with the boss especially when I'm not," I replied getting up. He pulled me to his lap and smirked "What don't you like about me?" he said holding me in place. "Nothing that I know of," I said as I go to get up when suddenly our lips collide at first I was into I had never been kissed like that before it felt so right but I stopped and pulled away "I can't," I said getting up as he stood up as well "Why not?" he asked as I turn to him "You're my boss and I don't know you that well," I said my hands on my hips as he moved closer placing his hands softly onto my cheeks as I looked at him "Then get to know me." He said still cupping my face as I pull away again "You're insane!" I said still in shock as he stood by the door "I like you, okay you intrigue me at least think about it Mileena!" He said opening the door and leaving I stood there conflicted because it felt so right to me but he is my boss and people judge way too much but perhaps he's right... maybe I should get to know him. The rest of my night went fast I decided to clean up when I found he had left his number I shook my head and texted him "Smooth one." he then replied, "I knew you'd text me." I sigh and texted back "You're my boss so I have to have your number." He quickly texted back "excuses, excuses goodnight Leena." I smiled and placed my phone on my nightstand and said to myself "What am I going to do about him?" I smiled to myself and went to sleep. I dreamed of how it would be to date Dwyatt and in my dream we were happy.
