Hold Me Down

Chapter11

Mercedes POV
"I really don't even know." Mrs Lee sighed.

"Don't worry Mrs Lee." I smiled.

"Okay Francesca, would you like butterfly's as your wallpaper and then pink paint on some of the other walls?" I asked their daughter.

"Yes please, with also a pink carpet to go with it." She nodded her head.

"Great." I wrote down on my clipboard.

"Okay, I'll be in touch with you tomorrow. My other colleague will be here to take over with the rest. If you need anything or would like to change your mind, here's my card." I handed them my business card with my name and number on it.

"Thank you so much." Mr Lee smiled.

I gave them and their kids a little wave.

Walking out of the house, I felt so tired. I got inside Grace's car.

"How was it?" She asked.

"It was ok, good as usual." I nodded.

"Okay, I got a call from the office and Mr Sanders is complete. He loves what you and the team have done." She started the car.

"Aw, that's good, I'm glad that he loved it." I smiled.

I turned on her radio and listened to the country music that played.

I guess she's a big fan because she was singing along to all the songs that came on. After she dropped me off, I saw Romeo leaning on his car smoking a blunt.

"Hey." I approached him.

He put it out and chewed some gum.

"Hey baby." He gave me a kiss.

"Who's that?" He pointed at Grace.

"Oh, that's my assistant, Grace." I said.

He opened the door as I got inside.

"How was work?" I asked him.

"It was good, made a few bookings and orders. You?" He paid attention on the road.

"It was good too." I sighed.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Nothing, just feeling a little hungry and tired." I shook my head.

"You ain't eaten yet?".

I shook my head. He made a turn and started driving.

"Where we going?" I asked.

He stopped at Olive Garden.

"I'm not even dressed properly." I told him.

"Come on." He got out of the car.

He jogged around and opened the door for me.

I came out and we walked hand in hand into the restaurant. We stood in line waiting for others to be seated and it soon came to our turn. Romeo got us a table and we got seated.

"Thanks for taking me here baby." I leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"My pleasure." He smiled.

His smile is soooo cute!

"Hello and Welcome to Olive Garden. May I please take your order?" A man came over.

"What d'you want baby?" He asked me.

"I'll have the Chicken Piccata, Warm Apple Crostata and a Peach-Mango Smoothie please." I looked down at my menu.

"Okay, and for you sir?" The man asked.
