Song:Wait by Maroon 5.

"Diana, its 12:28. You should get going already. "Mrs Smith says to me as she locks the back door of the cafe.

" I know,  Mrs Smith. But please just 2 more minutes." I say pleadingly. I know that Mr Adams has more important things to do than to worry about me getting to his house safely but still let me wait.

" Okay, darling.  But I don't think I can wait. My husband's health is getting worse and I

have to take care of him. I'm sorry dear."

"Don't worry, Mrs Smith. Go to Mr Smith and I will lock the cafe with my key."

" Truly, you are an angel sent from above. Thanks dear." She says as she hugs me.

" You are welcome and please send my regards to Mr Smith. Tell him to get well soon."

" I will. Thanks again." She says as she leaves the restaurant.

12:30. I don't think he is coming might as well clean up before leaving. I am done

cleaning, time to lock up the shop. I lock the shop and put the key in my bag. I am about
going when I notice a black Ferrari not far from the cafe. Who ever it is must be rich.

I start walking towards the direction of the nearest bus stop when the black Ferrari

started moving to my direction. The faster I walked the nearer it came. Is it marcus? Did
he find me or is it those jacob's men?  Lord, please protect me ,I prayed until...

" Diana, get in." Wait that voice sounds familiar.

" Mr Adams?"

" Yes. Now get in." I walk over to the passenger door, sat down and closed the door.

"Where were you heading to before I called you?" He asked clenching his jaw.

" I....was going to the bus stop." I say looking at him carefully.  It seems like my answer

made him annoyed.

"Why? Didn't I tell you that I was going to pick you up?" He looked enojado(angry) and I

became afraid. After a while I started talking," I am sorry if I kept you waiting. I didn't

know it was you in the car and I thought you were going to enter the cafe by 12:30 like

you did yesterday. So when I didn't see you, I thought....you weren't coming then I left

the cafe and started going to the bus stop. I'm sorry." I say looking at my feet. Ever since

I met him he had always had this poker face on, I never thought that the first expression
I will get from him was anger.  I do feel bad , he is angry all because of me. I just can't

do anything right, now can I? I turn to face the window when I heard him speak.

"Forgive my manners, I don't know what came over me." I look at him trying to study

him and all I could see was sincerity.  He truly is sorry .

"Is okay. And forgive me too for not believing that you were actually going to show up."

" You have been forgiven. And please call me chris. " is all he says with something like a
half smile that was .........breathtaking.

"So...what do you want to eat, Mr Ada..I mean ..Chris?" I ask chris as we enter his

mansion.  I still can't call it a house because it is to big for one. For crying out loud it is a
