The Billionaire's Proposal

We're Not Only Friends, We're Family

-"Good friends are great to have, fun to be with, and hard to forget."

I wake up swamped in my white duvet covers. I look at the clock and realize it was already eight. Adrian was going to kill me! I jumped out of bed and threw on the first thing I saw; a navy blue sleeveless top with a golden necklace incorporated with it, that hugged my chest and stomach, a white pencil skirt that ended a few inches above the knee, and a pair of beige heels. I run the brush through my hair, parting it to the right side and letting it fall into wavy curls. I quickly apply some light make up before walking downstairs.

"Fernando have you seen Adrian?" I question as I enter the kitchen which Adrian would usually be in by this time.

"Mr. McKeller already left miss." Fernando answered.

He wouldn't dare! Would he?

I storm out of the room and walk back towards mine. I grab my phone from the wooden drawer and dial in Adrian's phone number before pressing the call button.

Adrian: Hello?

Me: Where the hell are you?

There is silence on the other line and I can only hear Adrian's steady breathing.

Me: Adrian! I am talking to you!

Adrian: Uh, yeah I am listening.

I roll my eyes at his comment as I let out a long sigh.

Adrian: Look, I just need to get the documents that James brought in the other day. I don't have much to do at work today so you can just take the day off.

His response takes me by surprise. He was kidding, he had to be!

Me: (laughs) So funny Adrian, where are you hiding? Your room?

Adrian: Jane, I'm serious. You can take the day off.

Me: Really?

Adrian: Yes really, now I have to go cause I am at work. I'll see you at home.

Did I just hear him say 'at home'? He usually always saids, "at the house." I shrug it off and decide to go back to the kitchen.

"Where you able to locate Mr. McKeller, miss?" Fernando asked as I entered the kitchen.

I smile at him and nod in response.

"I'll have some scrambled eggs and bacon." I tell Fernando who nods and starts on my breakfast.

"Would you like some coffee as well miss?" Fernando asked and I nod.

"Jane!" Gabby's familiar voice exclaims causing me to turn around and find Gabby standing near the kitchen entrance.

"Hey Gabby," I stare as I walk over to her and give her a hug which she returns. "What are you doing here?"

"Better question is what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with my brother at work?" Angelica's dreaded voice questions as she appears in front of me.
