Chapter 5 Lips Of An Angel

Genova's POV

After that phone call and the black out last night I went to bed and actually managed to get some sleep. In the morning is when Allic's words really sunk in, im a pest not even worth a date let alone a civilized phone call according to him.

I don't know why, but instead of making me want to punish him, his words stung a little bit.

I slam my hand over the snooze button on my alarm clock and stuff my face into the comfortable pillow beneath my head. I sigh, not wanting to get out of bed but knowing I have to go to the meeting to finalize the details of Mr Javoni's charity event.

I groggily sit up and look at my clock. 9:02 AM, fuck. I run into my closet and grab a suit before booking it into the bathroom and turning on the shower water while I do my morning routine. I jumped into the shower and quickly washed everything off, then I got out and dried myself off with a towel. I took my suit off of the washing machine and put it on. Rushing out of the bathroom I grabbed my my shoes, phone, and car keys, crossing my fingers that I wouldn't be late. I drive my car out of the garage and just as im about to drive away a thought hits me, I forgot my briefcase.

I slam on my brakes, jolting me forwarded for a moment.

Running into the house I head to my study and take my briefcase out from under my desk before breathlessly jogging back to my car all the while I cuss underneath my breath.

I start the car again and pull out of the driveway and onto the road. I let out a breath of relief. Glancing down at the digital watch sitting in my cup holder, It flashes 9:26 AM. I look every way on the empty road twice, before I slowly push down more on the gas pedal. By this time I know im going just a little bit over the speed limit.

It's just passed 10 O'clock when I park in the underground garage of Javoni's technology company. I ride the elevator up to floor 10 and pass by Javoni's secretary Helen, with a slight nod in her directon. She smiled back at me as I walk in to the conference room 10 minutes late.

All the other business men helping with the charity event for victims of abuse, sat in the chairs around the table while silently looking down at there notes. They barely even noticed I was late. I sat down in my chair at the far end of the table, then i noticed Mr Javoni wasn't here yet. I take my notes and documents out of my briefcase and begin to sort through them as I wait. 5 minutes later Mr Javoni shows up with his tie on crooked and his suit jacket rumpled. "Sorry im late" he says "there were a few issues I had to take care of" he sat down in the seat across the table from me. "Now let's get to business. Mr Waterson how are the preparations coming along?" He asked me, while using my last name.

Genova Waterson.

"The caters just fineshed finalizing the menu with David, the band is booked for 7 until 11, the invitations where sent last week, bouncers were hired weeks in advance, and Bennett said he would book the grand ballroom for the event. Now all that's left is to do is to make a list of who's coming and who's not, so everything should be ready by the end of he month. "I confirmed. "what about the issue of the slid show glitching?" Mr Javoni asked. Jared spoke up next "I fixed that problem a few days ago sir" he said, then Jared when't on to explain how it was fixed detail by detail. By the end of the meeting everyone was fighting back a yawn as they dragged themselves home.

I stepped into the elevator and so did Mr Javoni. The doors closed and I said "you look like shit" he laughed "gee Genova you always seem to know just what to say" he said sarcastically. I shrugged my shoulders "so what happened to you last night?" I asked. He sighed "I made a huge mistake." I patted his shoulder comfortably "do you want to talk about it" he shook his head and said "not really." For the rest of the ride down we stood in a comfortable silence.
