The First One...

Chapter 9

"APPLE PIE..!!"

"Oh My God Margaret!!" i hugged her in full enthusiasm.

She started laughing at me. I looked at Ben and he was giving me a warm and amused smile.

"Yes dear..i know you love it..i prepared one yesterday, so made one more for you. I am glad you liked my little surprise."she said smiling.

"Ohh Margaret, i love you..thank you soo much..you definitely made my day!" i said as i started digging in my spoon in pie and tasted it.

"You're re welcome dear, i like to see you this happy."she said looking at me.

"Margaret this is sooo tasty.." I hugged her..and continued eating.

"Thank you dear..
Ahh honey, let me divide it so even ben could have it."

"Yeah fine." i said looking at Ben who was still watching me amused.

She took the plate and divided the pie into four parts. She then placed each piece in our plates and packed the remaining big one piece of pie.

"Sammy i have packed this for Sophie and Ana. Don't forget to give them tonight"

"Sure, thanks."

"Mrs. Trevor this is really good.." Ben said appreciating her.

"Ohh. Thanks Ben. I will make one for you too next time."she said smiling at him.

What! What has he done to her? This is rare in case of Margaret. She only makes extra pie for me. Now i am feeling bit jealous. What am i? A kid? Shut up Sam!! i said to myself.

We then ate in silence. I looked at Ben who was busy eating pie. He was thinking about something i guess.

I should soft down a bit on Ben. He is not a bad guy. He is always so nice to me. I shouldn't behave like this and now that i have agreed to be his friend, i have to try to act like one.

I was busy in my thoughts when he looked at me and saw i was staring. His eyes locked my gaze for a moment, ohhh his eyes...that look...butterflies started to flutter in my stomach. I quickly looked at the plate in front of me deciding not to look at him.

How am i going to act normally when this is the effect i am having just by a mere seconds of eye lock.

I shook my head to get out of my stupidity.

We all finished our lunch and Margaret handed me the packed Pie..i thanked her once again.

"I will see you around Margaret and.. Ben?..It was nice having your company." i said smiling.

"It was my pleasure. Thanks Mrs. Trevor and Sa..umm Ms. Samantha." he looked at Margaret and then winked looking at me. That made me smile and i left pantry.

See?..It wasnt that bad right?...Even I can be nice to him. I smiled in sucess.

I reached my office and got back to work.

"Sammy?" i looked up to find Fiona, Head of Compliance dept. standing at my cabin door.

"Hey Fiona..come on in. What's up?" i asked her. It was bit weird to have her here. She usually doesn't visit unless anything urgent or for some personal favour.

"Hi..I just wanted to handover this files to you." she gave me some files which i noticed weren't that important.

Hmm.. that means she is here for something else.

"Hmm..okay thank you." i said smiling.

"Yeah..um..how was your lunch with Mrs. Trevor and Ben?" she asked.
