Mayas POV

I'm worried that what my dad has said will affect Carina. I don't dare look at her right now, I'm scared that just one look will give me away and she'll know I'm already falling for her. "Dad. You'll never believe what I drove here." Cars always get his attention, he is a sucker for them. Plus I wanted a topic change.

"Tell me. I bet Miss Deluca has many cars."

I nod enthusiastically. "A Lexus LC 500. I got to drive it! She has a whole garage full of cars. She even has a Barracuda." My dad looks towards Carina.

"Is that right Miss Deluca? I would love to see it. I love classic cars. I had a 57 Bel-air that I loved to work on. My ex wife sold it out from under me while I was on my third tour. I miss that old girl. She was a beauty." He spoke like he was dreaming about his car.

Carina smiles at my dads excitement though. "Yes, I'm a collector. I only have 2 classics. I may just have to add a new car to my collection. Please though call me Carina."

We spend a few hours with my dad. When his lunch is brought to him Carina and I leave. My stomach rumbles just as we reach the car. "You drive." I pass her the keys. " I'm too hungry to think straight." Of course Carina opens my door for me, she is such a gentlewoman.

I think for a minute. "How about a burger and a shake?" The Italian beside me drives off. Carina finds a restaurant that specialises is posh burger made by a celebrity chef. The food is delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. After we finish we head back home. Carina has some work to take care of, so I join her in her study. We spend the rest of the day together talking and getting to know each other more.

........

It's Monday and I have my final class. Ryan drives me to my campus and escorts me inside . He waits outside my classroom door like a statue. I turn in my assignment and take my final interview. Ryan then escorts me to the student union where I can pick up my cap and gown for graduation.

It's only the afternoon so I decide to get lunch near the school. It's a normal diner that Andy and I frequently go too. I don't want to eat in front of Ryan so I ask him to join me. I get a club sandwich with fries and tear in. "How long have you worked for Carina?" I question him. 

Ryan swallows his mouthful before answering me. "We met in college. I used to fight MMA. She hired me as soon as  she took over the company."

I drink my lemonade. "So you're actually friends then?"

Ryan bobs his head side to side. "More or less. We trust each other completely and we talk about thinks that we don't share with others but we don't really hang out. We keep the line of employer/employee pretty clear."

"Bitch! Why didn't you tell me you would be here. We could've met up." Andy sits beside me and steals one of my fries.

"Order something, my treat"

She waves a waiter down. "Sweet. I'm starving."

Ryan clears his throat. "I'll leave you two alone. Miss."

I wave him off. "No stay. You haven't finished eating yet. You two should meet anyway. Ryan, this is my best friend Andrea, Andy this is Ryan..."

"And who are you??" She cuts me off and gives Ryan the stink eye."
