A Dance with the Billionaire #JustWriteIt

Chapter22 (unedited)

Anaya's P.O.V

Jennifer was a nice woman but with lots of make up all over her face. We were in the Accounting department. My task was mainly reporting, the preparing of financial reports. It wasn't that easy but I always loved accounts and numbers so it was kind of fun for me. No wonder why I was always a class topper in mathematics and additional mathematics. Andrew was doing the payroll, something which was not really my cup of tea as it was too much responsibility. John on the other hand, had the responsibility of financial control.

I engrossed in checking the accounts of the previous month and didn't even realized that it was lunch time. I was a little hopeless at that moment as I never brought lunch along with me. And I also hated eating alone even if I have to do it most of the time for dinner. What should I do?

I was still checking the statement of financial position of the previous year, as I felt a presence next to me.
"Hey, I'm Nick Ackles. Would you like having lunch with me and a few friends?" A guy wearing a blue shirt and black trousers asked scratching the back of his neck. He was cute but not as much as James. What the hell? Anaya stop it!
"Sure and I'm Anaya. Nice meeting you." I said as I stood up and extended my hand for a handshake.
His lips curved in a smile as he took hold of my hand. "Nice meeting you too."

I grabbed my handbag and followed him to the elevator.
"So, how old are you?" Nick asked.
"I'm 20 and you?" I replied.
"You look so young! I'm 23." Nick said. He was really handsome, he had perfect jawline, brown eyes and hair. He was around 6.1ft, as tall as James. He one damn a handsome dude but not as much as James. Why the hall am I thinking of him all the time!?
We were finally to the ground floor and walked out through the main doors. He escorted me to his Mercedes, a CLA Coupe black. I never really liked Mercedes as BMW has always been my favorite brand but I must admit that his car was nice. He  opened the front passenger car for me, I mumbled a little thank you and sat on its comfortable leather bucket seat. Nick was now sitting next to me on the driver's seat. The engine roared as Nick started it.
The drive was a cool one but it was a little silent. Nick turned on the CD player. The Maroon 5 started playing, it was one of my favorite song, Maps.
"A fan of Maroon 5?" I asked him, trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah and you?" He said, his eyes still focused on the road.
"Of course. It's one of my favorite song, Maps." I replied.
"It's one of mine too but the video is really sad, don't you think so?" Nick asked.
"I agree. I really liked it tho, it's a little romantic too." I explained.
"Yeah. A hopeless romantic?" Nick asked while stopping at the red light, looking at me.
"Maybe." I said with a half smile. "Life is nothing without love." I said and laughed a little. It's my mum who used to tell me this.
"Do you believe so? Are you in love?" Nick asked, making me blush.
"No! No! I mean it's just a simple quote." I said defending myself.
"A beautiful girl like you, not in a relationship. It's so rare nowadays." Nick said as he started driving.
"It's not so rare. Every girl is beautiful, some in appearance and some have beauty in their personality. It just take the right guy to see it." I explained him.
"I'm pretty sure the girl next to me has got both." He said with a smirk, making me blush a little as I realized what he just said.
"Seriously." I said and laughed.
"What? I'm saying the truth ma'am." He said defending himself, making me laugh a little more.
"You will go really far in life." I said and laughed again. He laughed too.
"What? It might happen that the one you are searching for is next to you." He said trying to have a serious tone but evidently failed as I laughed at his face.
"Come on Romeo! You will find your Julliet soon." I said trying to stop myself from laughing. It's weird but the way he is behaving is really funny, even hilarious I must admit.
"You might be my Julliet." He said looking at me.
"Nick, stop being the desperate Romeo and pay attention to the road." I said pointing to the road.
"Okay Ana." He said. Is he calling me Ana? Are we starting with the pet name thing? Ana, sounds like Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades of Grey!
"Starting with the pet name thing? I should give you one, what do you think?" I said tapping my chin trying to think of a funny one for him.
"Nicco! What about this?" I said as he chuckled.
"Nice, couldn't expect better." He said and shook his head. "We are here." He said as he stopped the car.
