Mine (Book 2 of the His Series)

Thirty-One

Because the other one was so short....

Ellie

A few weeks later I was in my office and was updating a patients file when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I yelled

I went back to typing as I saw a flash of red pop through and I knew that It was Brandi.

"Hey Mami, I just wanted to come see how you were doing."

"I'm so glad to see you! And I'm doing alright. How are you miss Soon To Be Bride?" I beamed

"I'm good. I just came by to see if you wanted to join me and the gang for dinner tonight. It'll be just like old times." She smiled softly

"Of course I'll come. Just let me know what place and what time."

"That we're still deciding. Do I need to come get you?"

"No...I got a new car." I smirked

She looked at me with surprise.

"Okay, what did you get?"

"2011 Jaguar."

"Yas Ellie! Okay, change of plans, why don't you come get me?"

"Just like old times." I smiled

At that point there was another knock on the door and then I saw Leo's head pop in.

"I hope I'm not interrupting."

"Nah, come on in." Brandi said

As the months passed and the date of the wedding grew closer, we all obviously had to spend more time together and so the animosity of what Leo had done soon dissolved and everyone was forgiving, including me.

"So what are you two gabbing about?" He asked us, sitting on the edge of my desk

"We're just trying to plan for dinner tonight, you wanna come?" She asked

"Sure. Where are we going?" He asked

"We're not sure, but I came here to talk to Ellie and see what she wanted to do."

At that point, all attention was on me.

"What about the Cookbook? It's a nice restaurant and it has a live jazz band. I think it could be a lot of fun." I smiled

"Perfect." Brandi says as her phone pings in her purse

She fishes it out and reads the text, a huge smile crossing her face.

"I gotta go. But I'll text you the details in a group message El. I'll see you two later." She called as she exited hastily, no doubt on the way to see her Fiance.

"Those two are cute. I can't believe how much Josh has changed." I said

"Sometimes it takes the right woman." He said softly

I look towards him quickly to see a smile on his face. I look away quickly and continue to do what I was doing on my computer.

"So what brings you by?" I asked softly

"I just wanted to come check on you and see how everything was going."

"Pretty well, just updating files and seeing patients as usual. I've also been doing more apartment hunting."

I looked towards him at the last part and he gave nothing away. But I knew from times before that it was a subject he didn't like talking about and I internally braced myself for what might be said.
