Stuck At Default

WE HAVE A DATE TO GO ON.

Next morning, I got up later than usual. It was almost two in the morning by the time I actually closed my eyes to sleep. I just couldn't shake yesterday's events out of my head. I knew I liked Trevor a little bit. But I never thought he would feel the same about me.

Despite hearing Ashton's name, yesterday was almost perfect for me. I dont know where we stand after yesterday's kiss.

Oh, the kiss was beautiful. I could still feel his lips against mine. The feel and taste of his lips were ingrained in my brain.

Mom and dad had already left for New York. Jase was going to stay another week here to wrap up some business deals. And, so therefore, here I was with Jase at a restaurant having lunch.

"So, tell me now. How and when are you going to propose her?" I asked him again.

"Okay fine. But you are to keep your huge ass mouth shut in front of her. No slipups! Promise me.''

I knew he wasn't going to utter another word until I promised not to say anything. So, I did it.

''Okay. I promise. I won't utter a peep in front of her. Absolutely no slipups.''

''Okay. I am planning to take her to Ibiza for her birthday next month. There I plan to propose her. Dont ask for the details, I haven't worked them out yet." He gave a vague explanation.

"Oh my god, you are finally going to propose. I am so damn happy for you." I had a silly smile on my face.

Jase's smile was mirroring my own.

"I can't wait for you guys to get married. Oh, we'll be sisters-in-law. And then, you guys are gonna have so many kids. I'm so excited." I was buzzing.

"Woah woah, hold your horses. Okay enough about me. What happened yesterday? After Trevor went after you." He tried to deflect me from the topic at hand.

And he succeeded at that.

"Actually after you mentioned Ashton, I was a bit upset. You know how I get. But Trevor came after me, asked me about him. I told him vaguely about it, but didn't yield much. He kissed me, we talked. That's it." I waved it aside.

"Whatever happened those five years ago, you know you have to let it go someday. What is the point of holding onto something so old." Jase tried to reason with me.

"Yeah yeah, whatever Jase." I just brushed him off.

"Come on. Drop me at my hotel. I have work to do, not just sitting around on my ass all day like you." He teased me, getting up.

"I don't sit on my ass all day round." I said, sticking a tongue out at him.

And just like that, our back and forth bantering and teasing went on all the way to his hotel. After that, I decided to pick up a pint of cookie dough ice cream and head home.

My rest of the day was spent going over a client portfolio that I had waiting in my mail from Trevor, and eating that whole pint of ice cream. There was no other form of communication between me and Trevor for the whole day, except that mail.

Next day, I got up at my usual time, went out for my gym and back in time. Got a shower, did my makeup and put on a short green fit and flare dress and heels. Liv was not yet back from Alex's house.

Trevor wouldn't be in his office until after lunch time. He just called me up to tell me that. Now, since he was not in his office yet and he hadn't mentioned anything about that kiss, I was a bit worried. Now that I think about it, he never really showed any interest in me, I have been working with him for almost a year.

That kiss could very well be a result of his sympathy towards me. I mean I was upset and all, but maybe I was just overthinking. But he usually flirts with me too. And we had that almost kiss in my car. And that actual kiss in the garden.

Ugggghhhhh.

I was thinking too damn much. I mean it was just a kiss and I was overthinking. Its not like it was my first kiss or anything. Infact I had already done much more than just a kiss. And here I was, a 24 year old, thinking about a kiss. Pardon me, overthinking about a kiss like a schoolgirl of 15 does about her first kiss.

I was pathetic. Just then there was a knock at my door.

"Come in." I said, closing my laptop halfway.

It was Trevor.

"Hey. How are you?" He asked, taking a seat infront of me.

"You do realize that you are coming in late in your own office, right?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yeah yeah, I know. And I'm sorry about that. I just had a meeting with someone important. Actually dad was supposed to be in the meeting, but I had to go instead of him." He explained.

"Oh. That's fine, you don't need to explain. I was just worried." I said.

"Okay, so about today's schedule. Let's go over it." And I never felt more pathetic about myself than I was feeling at that time.

I have been waiting for him since morning. I thought that kiss meant something for him too. But here he was, sitting in front of me, asking about today's schedule.

Just pathetic.

"You had a meeting in the morning that I shifted to the day after tomorrow and you have another meeting at 4'o clock." I said, looking at my iPad.

"Okay. Anyway, move today's meeting to any other day. And cancel any other engagements for either of us too." He said, smiling.

"Uhm, why am I supposed to do that?" I asked him, genuinely confused.

"Because you and me, we have a date to go on." He replied.

"Okay, slow down. What are you talking about? You have me confused here." I asked him, genuinely confused.

"Tell me something. Did I really kiss you or was it a fragment of my imagination?" He asked, leaning over my desk towards me.

"It was as real as it could get." I replied, blush rising on my cheeks.

"Then, am I not supposed to take you out on a date before we start dating?" He asked again.

"You really want to do that. Was it not just a spur of the moment thing." I asked him.

"No, not at all. Did I tell you that? Who told you that?" He asked getting up.

"No one, I guess. I just assumed." I said, getting up too.

"Get one thing clear Mia. I kissed you that day at the party because I like you. I have liked you for quite some time now. I thought you would see right through me, but you didn't. But now, I want you to go on a date with me. Will you?" He asked me.

I was dumbstruck. He just asked me out on a date, and here I was fretting about whether he even liked me or not.

"Yes, oh my god. Ofcourse I would go on a date with you." I replied.

"That's like my girl now." He said, grabbing my face in both of his hand and kissing me.

I literally melted into that kiss. My arms snaking around his neck in his hair. His hands going at my waist. We fit perfectly.

"I don't think we should cancel today's meeting. We can have our date another day." I said, breaking our kiss.

"I think you are right. So how about Wednesday, will it work for you?" He asked me.

"Perfect, boss." I replied smiling.

And just like that, he again pulled me in for a kiss.

Sorry guys. The chapter is a bit late, and short too. But I promise, next chapters would be longer. But finally, Trevor decided to ask her out. I'm excited.

By the way, today I finished reading the ACOTAR series from Sarah J Mass. And I think I might just be in love with Rhys. How many of you had read that book.

Anyways, keep reading guys. Vote, comment and share.
Goodday and stay safe.
