Only You

Chapter 6

Ixora P.O.V

 After that embarressing episode, I only returned to that cafe before I left for work which was ridiculously early in the morning which was at 6 and when I was on my way back from work. Most people finish at 5.30 but since i was promoted, I was off work at 4. I'd make sure i never spent more than 10 minutes in that shop in case of running into him.

It was already a few weeks since that had happened. How do I know he's always here at this cafe? cause the first few times when i wanted to go in, I saw him sitting on the couch. SOmetimes he was alone, or with his girl or some other person.

Yes, I maybe acting like a totaly coward but I was not ready to meet another man. Usually after work I'd go home, wait for Leah to come home and we'd decide what to have for dinner. Most of the time we's have take out Chinese, Indian or Thai food. Since today we both finished extra early, and it was a Friday, we decided to go out for dinner with some new found friends. OF course they were all Leah's friends cause the people I work with were still not over the fact that I got the position that they wanted. 

"You should just talk to them, make them feel like you're a good person eventhough you're their boss." Leah sais as she lounged on the safe and dragged a ciggarette.

"Yea I know I know, but it would be nice if they just grew up and stop acting like kids. Speaking of which, you should stop smoking. Not only is it killing you, it's killing me also." I said to her while coughing. I moved to a different room.

It was afternoons like these which I truly cherished. Lazing around the loft which had the perfect view of Central Park, and the floor to ceiling window made the loft look so cheerful. I sat in front of the window in my favourite bean bag chair with the laptop on my lap. I was watching my favourite show Sex and the City. It just made New york look even more amazing. Man I wanted to be like Carrie Bradshaw! 

As I was trying hard to concentrate on my video, I heard Leah saying "So this was the guy who hit on us in the club. At least one of them, the other was his friend. Damn, he's an anchorman for the sports channel! My my my, they grow them cute in New York." she laughed.

"WEre you not seeing somebody?" I asked as i paused the video. I didn't bother going into the room cause I was too caught up in the action in my show.

"Past tense honey. WAS seeing someone."

We both laughed. If life was like Sex and The City, Leah would be Samantha and I would like to think that i was Carrie herself. OH well.

"I suggest you start getting ready and show me what you're going to wear Izzy!!" she yelled.

"Jeez it's only 4! I want to take a nap for god's sake."

"I'll wake you up in an hour hurry up!"

I sighed, and went up to my room. I couldn't help but wonder what Mr.Hottie is up to now. Probably out with the gorgeous girl of his.

 "Look, I'll bring some of my single friends who are girls and you bring the guys along. I'll see you at the place. Reservations are for 7 o' clock so don't be late." Tom reminded me while I lazily walked around the house in nothing but my boxers.

"Tell me why are we doing this again?" I scratched my head. I had just got back after work. I was done reporting the sports news and had sorted out most of the things I was supposed to do over the weekends. All I heard from Tom was something about me needing to socialize blah blah.

"Alright alright i'll bring the guys and you better bring some pretty ladies for me." I closed my eyes and I hadn't realised that I was lying down on my bed already falling asleep.
