'Running away from you problems is a race you will never win'- stolen
As the elevator doors opened I slowly walked on shaky legs towards his office, before knocking, I took deep breaths and fixed my clothing. I gently knocked chanting "It's not him, it's not him" only then did I have the courage to open the door after hearing the all too familiar voice.
I stepped inside and turned to close the door. I slowly turned around while sending a prayer to the creator that it wasn't the Grant Mcbean that I knew; and if it was, he wouldn't recognize me. However, from the sharp intake of breath on his side, I knew that luck wasn't on my side.
I slowly opened my eyes to meet a shocked face Grant, the face that I knew all too well.
"Emma!" He said in a surprised tone. "....... Emma... Emma Perez?" he whispered my name as if it would slip away. "Is it really you Emma?" he inquired.
"Yes it is Grant, it's great to see you again" I forced through my teeth while mustering my best fake smile.
"Emma......faking doesn't look good on you," he said with a smile coating his features
"Why, thank you sir, " I replied sarcastically as I curtsied.
"I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you in the conference room...I thought my mind was playing tricks on me once again" he said.
"I wish it was" I said under my breath. "Ok so here I am ready to be assessed" I replied getting impatient.
"There's no need for that. I know everything I need to know and more" he said giving me a wink while his signature smirk appeared on his lips.
"Ok so can I leave?" I inquired "No not yet," he stated in an annoyed tone.
"And why the hell not?....I have work to do" I almost shouted at him getting irritated.
"Sit, lets talk. Something we haven't done in years...tell me, what's been happening to you?"sitting at the edge of his desk looking rather masculine. I sighed, walking over to the chair and sitting down
"Nothing. Nothing has been happening....just the usual. Left London, came home, got a job and yea that's it" I replied, ending with a huge sigh.
"Why so vague Emma?...I'm sure you've had a lot happening to you....how about the boyfriend. ..as i'm not seeing any ring on the finger so there's no husband....how are your parents"
"My parents... well my mom is okay and my dad went away claiming he wanted to explore...but still that is not your business. Neither is my relationship status"
"Ok Ms. Perez. Good to know they are okay but why so cold?" he asked while his beautiful face formed a grimace.
His beautiful face...ohh that face..sigh
'Snap out of it,' I told my self. 'Keep yourself together'
"You know what Mr. McBean. .. I think this assessment is over sooo....I think I'll go."
Without waiting for a response, I exited his office and took the elevator down to my office with my feelings unorganized. Bottled up and ready to resurface.
Why is life so complicated, why am I still feeling this way towards him its been almost two years.
I continued my work and at 4:30 p. m. I started packing my stuff to leave. I exited my office, told Lily bye amd went straight to my car to check up on my baby girl. I took out my phone and called my mother.
~hey mom is everything o.k im on my way now.
~ yeah everything is fine we're just doing a little baking.....CHILD DO NOT DRIVE AND USE THE PHONE
~ I'm not, I'm still in the building
~ok make sure..bye
~bye tell Ariel I love her and mommy will be there soon by-
That's when I heard the knocking on my window and quickly raised my head to see Grant standing there with a smirk. I quickly ended the call and put my phone away.
"What is it Grant?" I queried quite irritated
"Oh nothing....sweet ride" he said while pointing at my car as the smirk plastered on his face got wider.
"ok thanks. Goodbye" I said, while bringing my window up. I started my car and drove out of the Grey and Brown's Inc. with the intention of going home, taking care of my daughter and have a soothing and relaxing bath.
***********
"Hewoo! Yesh mister, but she is shweeping, its not nice to wake a scheeping person" I heard my daughter Speaking to someone on the phone I quickly took it from her grasp.
"Hello who am I speaking with" I said frantically
"Emma it's me Grant, I'm calling to see if everything is okay seen as tho you are not at work and it's almost 11:00".
"Shit" I mumbled as I checked the clock, I was soo tired after putting my hyperactive daughter to sleep.
"Im sorry sir I'm not feeling too well and i must have overslept" I said.
"I'll send someone to fill my space"
"Ok I think that's ok, but out of curiosity, who answered the phone?"
"Oh it was no one really, just someone I'm taking care of" I lied.
"Ohhkay, hope you get well soon bye" he said then hung up.
*************
"Ok thanks for doing this Kate. I owe you one" I told my best friend.
"Yea no prob.....lets meet up this weekend.
"Sure," I replied before hanging up
