I yawned raising my hands over my head.
I then realized that Dawn was watching me.
Oh, shit!! I cursed inwardly. Suddenly putting down my hands.
Very ladylike I muttered myself.
"It's Ok...", he said trying to hide a slight smile
"I, umm... Sorry ".
I shuttered again flushing embarrassed.
We were sitting there the whole day.
Going through the files.
"You are tired, we should go ",
he said standing up , gathering the files, and locking it up it in the cupboard at a corner.
It wasn't mentioned those files that what had gone wrong, but all I could understand was that it's gonna be a hell lot of work.
If we have to successfully come up with the patent.
"Let's go ",
he said coming back. I rose from the chair and gathered my things.
Dawn ushered me through the lab door and, we stepped together in the elevator.
Throughout the meeting, I got the delightful smell of his cologne, and he was sitting very close to me pointing through each procedures. I couldn't focus very much as our knees were almost touching.
He appeared very passionate about this when he was talking about it. He evidently knew what he was talking about.
I stood as far as possible from him in the elevator but couldn't stop tossing glances at him.
He was leaning on the opposing side looking through his phone, not realizing me watching him.
When we arrived at the lobby it was nearly deserted, the working hours ended at 6.00 pm and it was already 8 00 p.m
Time flies.....I thought
We walked out into the parking lot and I pressed the starting button of my mustang GT on my key chain
It hummed to life
Perks of being good with cars .
I sighed looking at my darling .my happy pace I smiled .
WoW?!!
I heard from behind and halted and glanced back
Dawn has stopped on his tracks gazing my baby in awe
"Is that your ride?";
"Yup, "
I said looking at him questioningly
"What? wow!!. that's one hell of a car.,
Where did you modify it? He asked walking down by my side running hands through the mustang logo".
"It took some time, It was a lot of work".
I said standing beside him admiring the look of surprise on his face.
I liked it when somebody takes time to appreciate my effort on my babies.
It was one of the things I am genuinely interested in, while girls of my age inclined towards dating and shopping.
I do love shopping though.
"You... You did that by yourself."
he said standing straight and looking back at me and my car like I have grown horns suddenly.
"Not alone but with my friend ", I say.
"Wow, that's impressive,
you are good. Very good" he said shaking his head and dancing on his heels.
He said nodding his head in appreciatively.
I felt a blush creeping on my cheeks.
What the hell is wrong with me.
" Thanks "
I murmur awkwardly looking at him while he was looking at my face with marvel
"I should get going,
see you later Mr.peterson.",
Hmm... It's Dawn.
"What? "I asked
" You can call me Dawn."
He said nodding and stepping back
"Ok....".I Shrugged.
"Since we are going to be working together in the lab it will be more convenient",
he explains his demure back to the curt businessman.
"Ok, good night Miss.Marcus ",
he said walking back towards his........Lexus RX350
"Good night, and you can call me Becca if I get to call you Dawn".
I called from behind.
He turned for a second. a small some crawling on his lips nodded,
"See you later Becca," he said and walked to his car
Got in and drove away.
I stood there for a few minutes, staring at the red light of his car disappearing at distance
Shaking my head out of the euphoric state I got into the car and drove back home
When I reached our gate I saw Albert pacing on the yard.
"Oh this is going to be fun", I mumbled
When he saw my car. He stoppedd pacing and stood with his hand in his pockets.
I parked my car in the garage, hit the code safely, locking the door and walked out.
"Hey Albeee, ".I cooed squeezing his cheeks which knew he loathed the most.
He smacked my hand away irritably staring me down with fire in his eyes.
What the hell, where were you ? and why was your phone switched off?",
his tone a low growl like he is ready to tear me down.
Oh, no!protective brother mode is on. I have to play safe or would end up dead.
"Umm.....I was in a meeting with Dawn", I said looking down at my hands like a teenager caught by parents sneaking back into the home.
" meeting with Dawn.....", he repeated slowly.
" What's that to do with your phone being switched off?,
Wait a minute.......
Did you just say dawn? ",
He said pointing a finger at me as he just figured out a calculus answer.
Dawn!!?? Huh,Was it Mr. Peterson in the morning and now it's Dawn......
He stopped looking at me inquiring.
Oh shit!!!
I slapped myself mentally.I forgot the fact that Albert can pick up any change in my behavior just like that. Perks of being a best friend.
"Sorry Albee, I know you are tensed,
but he was sitting with me all throughout the dayy, discussing the project and we got engrossed in it,
I forgot to switch on my phone ",
I said walking towards the house. Praying that he would forget Mr. Peterson to dawn part.
Albert followed me.
I slumped into the sofa and looked at him
He plopped down on the bean bag opposite to me.
"And what with the name change?" , Albert asked raising an eyebrow at me
You are too bad Albert...
Very observant for god's d
Sake
"We are going to be working together in the lab..... so he insisted that I call him dawn.
Just like that...", I said
"Just like that.....", Albert imitated
I huffed and stood up
"I am hungry, Let's go have dinner.
Boys....., always irritating..".
I heard Albert chucking on my comment from the back.
I walked towards the kitchen
"what have you made?", I asked opening the pot on the stove.
"Pasta and garlic bread!!!!my favorite,
Ohh, Albee, you are my favorite person in the whole world ".
I said hugging him.
"Ya Ya , enough of buttering me Becc., eat and go to bed ".
"Yes mom," I said mockingly saluting. Albert.
We had dinner discussing the company's sales this year, we are doing good by the way.
We cleaned up the dishes and walked towards our rooms together.
"Good night Becca"; Albert said kissing my forehead.
"Good night Albee"; I kissed him on checks and
Changed into my favorite PJs.
fall into bed without not even bothering to brush my teeth.
After a hectic day sleep just swallowed me just like that
