The Family Man

Chapter 18

I knew Ally didn't like me much, I could feel her glaring at me from behind. She did what I asked which wasn't a lot. It was our lunch break I wanted to seem nice so I invited her to lunch surprisingly she accepted happily. We walked to lunch and collected our lunch and sat at my usual table, I introduced her to everybody.

"So Cassie how was your weekend? Can you please turn down your glow down its making my eyes hurt?" Mary Ann teased.

"I am not glowing." I smiled.

"Yes you are." Jason sat beside Mary Ann.

"I am not."

"I think I need sunglasses to look at you." Mary Ann teased.

"Why are you glowing?" Kim asked. Mary Ann leaned over to her and whispered something to her and her eyes became wider.

"You got some and you weren't going to share." Kim said acting to be hurt.

"I don't want to talk about my limited sex life." I glared at them. I didn't want to talk about it in front of Ally and they understood.

"So Ally where are you from?" Kim asked.

"Boston." She smiled.

"So have you met any hot guys since you got here?" Kim asked.

"Kim get out of the girls business. Ally you don't have to answer." I turned to her.

"It's okay. Yes I have met a guy, but he works here so I can't date him." She sighed sadly.

"Honey a lot of people date each other in this building exhibit A." She pointed to Mary Ann and Jason.

"I want to wait a few days before I make a move on him." She said excited.

"So who is it?"

"Promise you guys won't judge."

"Yes."

"Alright it's Mr. Bakersfield." I choked on my juice.

"What?" My voice was husky.

"Mr. Bakersfield." She smiled. "I know he has a kid but I can deal with that I saw him on the cover of a magazine last year modelling for business man of the year he looked really good. Any woman would be lucky to have him sleeping next to her, he is a God. I would personally like to kiss those lips of his." Her voice was dreamy. I think the colour from my face had gone my throat dry. They all looked at me and Mary Ann grabbed my hand.

"Are you okay?" Ally asked me she looked sincerely worried. She must not have known.

"Honey you really have no clue do you?" Kim asked.

"Have clue of what?" She asked confused.

"Cassie over there is his girlfriend and the mother of his child." Kim looked at her.

"You're just messing with me."

"No she's not." Mary Ann said.

"Cassabelle I didn't know."

"Mhmm I got to go." I took my things and walked out of the cafeteria. I sat in my office looking at the anklet, I really did love it.

"Hey." Ethan said. He shocked the hell out me.

"Don't do that." I had my hand on my heart.

"What did I do?" He said in an innocent voice.

"You scared me shitless."

"Sorry. So I was thinking Friday we could go out."

"Are you asking me out Mr. Bakersfield?" I crossed my legs.
