Expectations

16//Charms

"Can you scan these flyers please? Then send it to my email." One of the employees ask her. She was sitting in my cubicle doing homework. Dylan says once she finishes up her tasks for the day she could catch up with some homework.

After scanning the files, Miranda comes in the copy room. "Um, Mr. Wright says he needs to see you in his office." She says quickly and them walks away. Obviously Miranda knows what's going on between Manny and Dylan but won't say anything because she was sleeping with him as well. The only difference between her and Manny is, Manny is his girlfriend. She haven't spoken to her since her last incident when she was shadowing her. She only calls her when Dylan needs to see her.

Straightening her pencil skirt and her ponytail, She heads to his office.

He tells her to shut and lock the door. After that's done She strolls over to her man. He's leaning on to his desk with his arms cross and his smirk across his face. "Hey baby. How are feeling." He opens his arms wide and welcome her in. She snuggles into him murmuring into his chest. "I'm grounded for a week. Only places I can go is to school and the internship."

He puts his head on her chin, rubbing my back reassuringly telling her he's sorry. "It's fine, once punishment is over we can see each more often."

"How about this weekend?" He says. Manny looks up curiously. "How-"

"I'm suppose to be going to California for business, me and a few Lawyers. I think it would be a great opportunity for you to go." Manny jumps up and down then hugs him repeating thank you. She never been to California before. She always wanted to go. Now she will be going with one of her favorite humans.

After discussing with her parents, they were thrilled and she was schedule to leave that weekend. For the rest of the week she kept herself busy, her punishment will be over next Monday but the weekend in Los Angeles would make Monday come even quicker. The night before her flight she places her small carry on and her side purse already neatly by the front door. "Hey Manny?" She turns and see Lisa, they barely spoken since the incident. Manny felt bad putting her through what happened and Lisa thought Manny was upset with her. "Hey I was meaning to talk to you. I'm sorry for putting you in that position. It was wrong." Lisa furrow her brows. She was surprised about Manny's apology, but happy she admit her fault.
"I accept. I thought you were mad at me so I avoided you. I'm sorry."

"No! It's totally fine. It's not your fault okay?" She then leans in and gives her cousin a hug. "I love you." Manny whispers.

"I love you too." Lisa replies back.

Four hour flight, and 25 minute ride to the hotel later, they made it to their hotel in West Hollywood. "Unfortunately baby me and you will have to share separate rooms but I will be sneaking in your room later on tonight." He says as he grabs her hands and give it a peck. "Oh, very secretive. I'm excited." She leans in and take over his lips with her. He grabs her shoulders and taste her tongue on his. He then pulls away and tells her to be ready in an hour because he and his team have a client to see.

A few hours meeting a newly signed model, Dylan took Manny out to Griffith Park on a hike. It was nice day in LA, Manny wore leggings and a tank while Dylan wore a muscle tank and shorts. His muscles were bulging out and Manny had to remind herself he wasn't a supermodel. He fit right in with the crowd here. It was eye catching. "Why won't you move out here? I mean, aren't most of your clients from here?" Manny says as they stop for a water break.

"Nah, too mainstream. Chicago is much more quiet, chilled." As the walked up observatory Dylan grabbed her hand and decided to take a polaroid near the railing where the Hollywood was showing from behind them. "Here you keep it, it's safe with you." Manny says as Dylan put the photo in his fanny pack. When putting it inside a small velvet box fell out.

"Shit" he whispers.
"What's that Dylan?" He scoops it up and opens it. It was diamond charm bracelet. "I was going to wait until tonight to give it to you but I guess what else is a appropriate time then m right In front of  Hollywood sign?" He takes it out and wraps the chain around her wrist.

"There are only three charms but we can make many more memories and then add more charms. So much that I'll have to buy you another bracelet." Manny almost cried. She covered her hand on her mouth, looking down at the beautiful diamonds. One was a chocolate bar, the other was a snowflake and the last one was Ski's. "What's the snow flake for?"

"We started dating when the snow stuck." Her heart melted. She can't believe he remember every detail of their relationship. The chocolate? "I love chocolate." She swallows then laughs. He sees the chocolate on her teeth and snickers in his fingers then drops his hands and walks over to grab a napkin and hands to her. "Sorry, imma mess." She takes napkin and cleans herself up. The memory conjures up. "I love it and I love you." She tells him

"Love you too." He says back with those blue eyes piercing back at her brown ones.
