THE INTERIOR DESIGNER

chap 5

The old lady came back again

Her name is Margaret

" Have you guys decided ?" She asked

" I would like to have a cheeseburger and vanilla milkshake" Mr Wexins said

" I would like the same but with fries and nuggets on the side " I told her

Both of them stared at me for a second

" Are you sure dear?" It was Margaret who asked  and he nodded in agreement

Why are they asking me that?

" yes" I replied

With that she left

"Why were both of you looking at me like I grew two heads " I asked him

" No offense but you are so slim and no on will believe that you eat that much " he replied in a amused way

I wasn't that slim, I'm just correct and by God's grace I don't grow fat so easily

"Hey!  I usually eat that much " I hit his arm in a playful way

He isn't that bad after all, the articles and the talk about him were just lies I guess

"Frankly speaking I expected you to order some kind of salad " he said out of nowhere

" Those salads never fill my stomach and I don't care about what others think about what I eat " I replied

Margaret came back with the food

My mouth is watering from the amazing smell and I immediately dig into my food

We ate in silence , it's not like we have anything to talk about too but it was getting too awkward

" So, I got a few ideas for the mansion .." I broke the silence

I told about how I would let the chandelier be and would change the doors into something modern and mostly I would make into into a palace with European themes

I think he was impressed by my ideas because he was showing a lot of interest

" I'm very impressed Ms Rhodes " I smiled

" Please call me Laura " Ms Rhodes sounds so formal and makes me feel old

"Then you can call me Cole " he replied

I was done with my burger and was half way through my fries when he was staring at me

Maybe he wants some?

So I offered him but he declined

" I still can't believe you ate it all" he laughed

This time I laughed too

" Don't blame me , I'm a growing woman" I joked

By the time I was done Margaret got the bill and he didn't let me pay enough though I was the one who ate so much

"You too ate such a cute couple " she commented

"We are not " both of us said at the same time and stared at each other

" Oh, sorry my bad " she said and left

We got into the car and left to the office

The car ride back was a silence one ,none of us spoke anything

Cole told I could leave home if I want

I decided to leave and make dinner dinner for Kylie and me

It's been so many days since she actually spoke about what is happening in our lives

I missed the quality time we used to spend
