His Property

Ch. 15

DiLuna

As soon as he had said his last name I froze on the spot. The only thing I could do was stare back at him as he stared back at me expecting me to say something back.

"Miss Kingsley is there a problem?" Harrison asked straightening up his position.

"I- Yeah. Shall we continue?" I said holding the papers in my hand and placing them neatly on my lap.

After I was done with the interview, harrison's secretary told us that within a week or less we should expect an email to the person that got the job. I placed the files into my purse hoping that I didn't make such a fool out of myself.

I got home within a few minutes. Luckily there was not much traffic for a day like this.

When I finally got home, I took out my keys and noticed that my apartment was slightly opened.

I slowly started walking towards it and opened it wide.

I noticed that my living room was covered in gold colored balloons and there was a huge banner plastered on the wall with the word Congrats.

In the center of my kitchen island there are two boxes of pizza and two bottles of alcohol.

I am ready to grab ahold of my phone when all of a sudden both Alex and may jump from behind the couch both screaming "SURPRISE" at the top of their lungs.

Before I even have a chance to realize what is going on, Alex pops open the bottle of champagne and May comes running to me and engulfs me into a hug.

"Congratulations on getting your job baby!" She says.

"Oh I- I do not know for sure if I got the job. They will tell us in a week or so." I look back at alex who is already filling three glasses with champagne. When I told them this, she looks back at me unaware that she is overflowing the cup.

"Are you for real?" Alex said placing the bottle on the counter table.

"You probably ended up getting the job. No worries." Just another typical thing for may to say. Always being positive.

"Well take this as a early celebration for putting effort into trying to get into a company like that." Alex picked up both cups and handed them to us.

"Well did you meet the CEO? Is he cute? Is he hot?" May said taking a sip from her cup and sitting on the couch besides me.

"He is probably in his early sixties. For some reason know he does not look that old for someone that age." I said taking a sip of my drink.

"He is rich though. So sugar daddy?" Alex said looking back and forth at us.

"You are gross."

"His last name is DiLuna. Sound familiar?" I said chugging down the rest of the drink.

Alex started coughing out her drink and maybelline had a blank expression.

"DiLuna is Elijahs last name no? And damons?" May said.

"It could be plain coincidence sabri. I mean it has to be that." Alex finished her drink and went to refill her cup.

May went to grab the pizza boxes along with some plates. I stayed on the couch staring down at my phone almost as if I was waiting for a miracle. Of course my thoughts had to get interupted when there was a knock on the door.

May set the boxes on the couch and went toward the door quickly. She opened it and jack stood outside with a bag of groceries.

They both hugged each other and jack kissed her on her forehead. I just simlpy rolled my eyes back and went to join alex.

"Hey sabri. Hey alex." Jack said. "I brought something for you guys because I know my baby does not like sharing her food." May sat down with different bags of chocolates and started eating them.

Jack handed me a tub of icecream. My favorite.

"Wow. You remembered." I told him feeling ten times better. I mean it is icecream.

"Oh and before I forget. This is for you. " He reached into his jean pocket and pulled out a small box.

"Um jack it is not my birthday yet." I said obviously confused.

"I know that crackhead. It is from elijah." He said chuckling. My cheeks felt warmer as I grabbed the box from his hand. I opened it just to make sure a spider was not inside the box. To my surprise a really nice necklace was in the box. The necklace felt heavy due to the amount of diamonds in the front. As I gently got it out of the box, there was a small note with his phone number on it.

A sudden rage of anger filled withing me.

"No. Take it back. He leaves for almost a week and expects me to be fine with gifts being handed out and he is not even here to show himself." Alex and may start another conversation quietly obviously still wanting to hear what I was saying.

"I will not take it back simply because I want you to take your time and think about contacting him. Trust me sabri. He had his own reasons." He left the box on the kitchen isle and walked towards may whispering something into her ear.

They both said their goodbyes and left me and alex all to ourselves.

"Well. What are you waiting for?" Alex grinned.
