With you

Chapter 9

Amelia's POV
I'm about to prepare dinner for Damien and I.i don't know what he likes .im going to just cook different dishes hopefully he'd like one of them.im dancing with music blasting through the speaker.15 minutes from now It would be ready. I bring my phone out to text Cassie

Me:hey what are you doing?
Cassie:I'm getting ready for my date with mike
Me:okay have fun but he better not try nonsense with you.
Cassie:lol don't worry he won't.im going to kick his ass if he does.moreover I won't let him.is damien there already?
Me:I'm not even ready yet though I'm almost done.
Cassie:okay ttyl.love you
Me:take care b.

Now I'm done with everything and I'm waiting for Damien.its already past 7 and he still hasn't showed up.im getting bothered I wouldn't want to waste all of this.i don't like wasting food or even spending lavishly.life has taught me how to spend economically.wasting food is something I don't even think of doing because so many people out there are looking for what to eat which is sad while I'm here wasting food.i don't want to be stood up either.

I woke up to someone knocking on the door.i didn't know I slept off.i checked the time before going to see who was at the door.can you imagine it's 9 so I waited for almost two hours now I'd have to heat up the food again.
I opened the door to see Damien looking a bit nervous and uptight

'I'm sorry something came up and I lost track of time.'he said

'It's okay it's better late than never.come on in.'

I let him come in then went to heat up the dishes.i told him I didn't know what he liked so I prepared different dishes he said anything is fine.well his wife is not going to have problem with him because he doesn't select.i served him I noticed how he gripped his spoon tightly like he was contemplating if he could do this or not.

'Is there a problem? Don't you like it? I tried my best to make it nice I didn't know you won't like it.i....'he cut off my rambling

'There's no problem and you did well.you make good dishes.'he said with a little smile

'Ohhhh thank you'.i said blushing because I almost or did embarrass myself

'It's fine so what do you do? Are you a student?' He said

Uhm no I finished college four years ago.i studied accounting.im working now well it's not related to my course because it's not exactly easy to get a job relating to what I studied which is sad.trust me I tried searching multiple times but nothing worked.what about you?

'I am a business man.i'd say I'm quite suprised you don't know who I am.i finished college about seven years ago.i studied business management and I like my job.it's going good.'

What did he mean by I don't know who he is.is he famous? Like one of the richest bachelors here in the city. What am I saying I don't know if he was married or if he had a girlfriend.im not asking that because I'd seem desperate and I don't want to interfere in his personal life.

'What are you the president?' I joked

He smiled 'if living in a house that is almost the same with the White House with lots of money in my pocket then yes I'm like the president' he said cockily

I'm stunned I didn't know he was arrogant well I basically don't know anything about him.im just going to know a few

'I see. Let's play 20 questions if you don't mind' I said

'Someone is eager to know me' he said

'I said if you don't mind Mr'

'Feisty I see' he muttered under his breath

   'So what's your favorite color?'

  'I don't know'

    'Do you like tea or coffee?'

   'Coffee'

'You know you could ask me anything' I said

  'How old are you?'He asked

   'I'm 24 and you are?'

  '28.' he said

I noticed he kept everything plain like he didn't know how all of these works or he wasn't just interested after few questions we got to know a little about each other.we didn't ask about each other's family so I don't know if he has siblings or not.im not bothered because I'm not ready to talk about mine.

'Thank you for coming over' I said softly

'I promised didn't I ?'He asked

Something made me to hug him it's like I couldn't control my legs but it happened then and there I realized that I needed someone apart from Cassie to be with me.im not saying I don't like Cassie I love her but I just need someone different I could call a friend.he stiffened whatever reason I didn't want to know . I wanted to enjoy this moment after a while I felt his arms around my waist.we stayed in each other's embrace till I awkwardly came out.i looked into his eyes and said hopefully 'we would meet again right?'

He nodded and wished me a goodnight then quickly left.

' Goodnight' I said quietly after he left.i know he didn't hear me.sighing I went to wash and clean up everything.

   it was so obvious he wasn't used to having dinner with someone or it's been a while he had one I knew from the way he was uptight,he barely said much,he didn't assist me to clean up not that I cared because I always did the dishes myself even when Cassie was around.she hates washing plates so I do them myself.

Well the dinner was okay it was awkward at first then it went fine and ended in some kind of way.i wasn't expecting him to kiss me or anything like that.i just wish he was more open and a little carefree.

An hour later I texted him asking if he reached home but he didn't reply though he read it .Did I by chance do something wrong all I did was to hug him .i' d probably apologize for that later on well that's if ever we would see again.

Me:Cassie I hope everything went well.goodnight b

    I texted Cassie knowing she was out the last time I checked .I needed to know if she was home now.

     Cassie:yes everything went really nice I think I have a boyfriend now.how about you? How was dinner with him?

     Me:it was fine we will talk later

     Cassie:sure we will.

    I'm not feeling sleepy so I start thinking how boring my life is.i have only Cassie.no family.no boyfriend.i go to work and come back.i barely go for parties well I don't really like parties I just tag along with Cassie to take my mind off things.i don't like drinking or smoking.ughh I sound pathetic i would just force my self to sleep.
