Becoming

Chapter 13

Valentine's Day

I wish the Earth could swallow me just for today. I'm really not in the mood for hearing people talking about Valentine's day. I know I sound like an awful person right now, but I can't help it okay.

As much as Im hating Valentine's this year, I decide to wear red pants and a white blouse tucking it in and my black Louis Vuitton heels. I spent a bit too much on them, but I couldn't help it. I look at my behind and I have to say, my ass does look bigger in these pants and I'm not mad at it.

"Dressed for Valentines day I see" I come across Kevin as I'm making my way to the parking. He is sweaty from his morning run and I have to say, he looks delicious... did I just?

"Morning to you too" I look him up and down and I'm sure he noticed me licking my lips. He laughs and shakes his head "Have a good day Anna". "Yep, you too" I quickly pass him so he won't notice me blush. What is wrong with me?

I haven't really asked Kevin who Lilly is and it's not my business. I am curious however and it gets me that he never mentions her whenever we talk. Maybe they are friends with benefits?

Kevin doesn't seem like the type to have friends with benefits. He is a man with needs after all and I get it if he doesn't feel the need to tell me as I said, it's none of my business.

"Looking hot Anna" Our receptionist Sybil tells me. "Someone also sent in these" she hands me flowers. "Who are they from? " I raise my brows and take the flowers. "I dont know, they came in like 5 minutes ago they are beautiful though" she smiles. "Yeah" I take them and walk to my office closing the door.

"Beautiful flowers for a Beautiful woman"  is written on the card. "Ew" I cringe at the message. Of course there's no name, it's a secret admirer. I place them in the flower pot on the corner by the window and carry on with my work for the day.

Not long after I start working on a case there is a knock on the door. "Yes, come in" I say and don't look up. "I'm glad you got the flowers" I look up.

Greg.

"Oh you got them?" I eye him. "You don't sound happy" he walks in and awkwardly stands by my table. "You can sit" I tell him. He pulls the chair and sits. "You love them?" he asks looking at them. "They are beautiful, thanks" I say and hate that there is no emotion behind my statement.

"Can we go for lunch at Milo's" he asks. Milo's is a little restaurant next to our firm. "Im pretty swamped" I say eyeing the papers in front of me. "You need to eat and they are having specials since it's Valentines day" I eye him and cross my arms. "Please" he pouts and I laugh at his childish act. "Okay okay" I say. "Great, I'll come by at one"
....

As we are walking towards Milo's, Greg doesn't stop telling me how beautiful I look and I have lost count of how many "Thank you's" I've told him. He is a sweet guy and I can tell that he is into me.

We order our food and he tells me bits and pieces about himself. I zone in and out of our conversation and not to be rude, but he is rather boring and we don't share the same interests. I smile at him and nod as he continues to talk. It's not long before its time for us to get back to the office. After arguing about him paying the bill we settle on splitting it.

"Thanks for agreeing to have Lunch with me even though you didn't want me to pay" he chuckles rubbing the back of his neck. "Thanks for taking me to lunch" I say as we enter the building and I ignore the look Sybil are Saun are giving me as Greg and I walk pass the lobby.

"Okay I need details!" Saun comes into my office a few minutes after I settled back from lunch. "I have work to do" I tell him. "Girl are you and Greg like a thing?" he pushes. "Say what, let's chill at my place tonight and I will tell you everything right now I have to do work" he rolls his eyes "Fine!" I laugh at his silly ass. It's going to be a long night.
