CASSIE FORTZ

6

Okay, so he still got me food. I didn't realize I was so hungry until I almost choked on my curry.

Embarrassing! I know.

Later that night Mr Rosario insisted on taking  me home which I declined seriously but somehow he had his way.

Flashback

After eating and giving the summary of my report to Mr Rosario I excuse my self and start to make my way home but unfortunately for me I couldn't get a taxi to go home.

So, I decided to walk home, I was already two blocks away when Mr Rosario pulled up beside me

"Get in miss Fortz"  he says looking at his watch like he'd rather be anywhere but here.

"oh thank you sir, but I'm sure you must have other important things to do" I look around hoping a taxi would just magically appear

"I don't have all day miss Fortz. Get. In."  he says looking at me square in the eyes

"You See you don't have all day.. The more reason why you shouldn't be here any longer."  I try to reason with him.

"Miss Fortz!" I jump a little

"Okay okay I'm getting in.." I get in the car frantically

"Your address please" I give him the address and look out the window.

Sigh, I'm even more tired today

I just wish I could have a break...like a vacation.

Travel to Paris or London or something. Who am i kidding I don't have enough money for that. I still need to save up so I can start a business of my own.

I feel someone shaking me gently

"Miss Fortz?" I open my eyes. we're here

"oh. I'm sorry i fell asleep Sir. I should Prolly just go inside" I grab my bag to leave when Mr Rosario grabs my hand

"S-sir-"

"Sleep well Cassie" he cuts me short

"uhm okay sir. Thanks for the ride. I owe you one." And with that I walk face red into my apartment without looking back."

                        *******

Levi watched Cassie look out the window.

How beautiful she looked he thought to himself.

He couldn't fathom why he had the urge to always be near her.  Inviting her to SAGE was just one of his plans to get to know her better. And what a sight she was. He watched her eat finding it funny when she almost choked on her curry. She looked so tired and he felt a bit guilty because it was all his fault.

Normally, he just uses girls and dumps them. He never really was intrigued by any girl but something about Cassie kept drawing him to her.

He didn't even know when he held her hand.

Later, that night when he got home, he took some liquor because he felt he was becoming soft.

"Sir, would you like me to run a bath for you?" says his butler, Rodrigo.

Levi massages his temple feeling so tired all of a sudden

"Yes please" he takes a sip

When he was done. He went to sleep too tired to even think. All he wanted was sleep.
