Adriana's POV
I was particularly fond of the rain. I loved the way it smelt whenever it touched the sand on the beach but of all days to fall and make gloomy faces more gloomy. Buddy died today. Yeah I know I felt terrible too but Khalil hadn't spoken today to anyone.
Few of his family relations came over to sympathize. Honestly I wasn't good with tears and sadness, I just asked him if he needed to eat which he shook his head in response and I left. I felt this was just a bit too much I mean I get but buddy was his best friend but making your relations come to bury him seems a bit too much but don't worry I'd never tell him.
The occasion had gone successful I now had a nearly dirty room to clean up. I began picking up cups and paper plates when the door bell rang. There stood a delivery guy with big rose beautiful flowers.
"For Miss Dane. Sign here please" I did and went back in placing the flowers on the dining table. People make such a big deal when animal dies I mean c'mon imagine this flowers in my office a perfect piece.
"Babe I'm starving" I hear Khalil whine as he enters the living room.
"He talks everyone" I laugh
"There should be left over burgers your Aunt Elaine sent over" I hear him open the paper bag.
"Thanks babe. Who sent these flowers?" He asks
"I don't know. Check for a card or something" I go upstairs to change to a sleeping short and Khalil's hoodie before coming downstairs.
"Who's Antonio?" Khalil asks gesturing me to sit on his lap on the couch
I looked shocked for a second. Antonio sent me those?
"We work together. These are beautiful" I say admiring the huge petals of the rose.
"Oh. What project?"
"The Sawyer project. The one I told you I have to go to Townville next week for a few weeks to supervise" I remind him.
"Like with Antonio sawyer alone" he inquires clearly not liking the idea.
"Its just two to three weeks and we are going with assistants and not even the same hotel" I say straddling him.
He looked at for a while staring into my eyes like he was searching for something.
"Okay"
######################
"C'mon its just two weeks your acting like I'm disappearing into another universe" I complain while Khalil squeezed me making me blush as he kissed me all over.
"I'll miss you riana. I wish you didn't have to leave" He yammered
"I love you okay" I whisper placing a light kiss on his lips.
Someone coughs making their presence known.
"Oh hey Antonio. Babe this is Antonio"
"Hello I'm Sawyer. Antonio Sawyer" Antonio brings his hands for a handshake from Khalil but they hung there a little longer. I felt Khalil's grip tighten on my waist before he shakes Antonio's hands. The stench of testosterone was suffocating.
"Khalil Dankworth"
"Nice to meet you Khalil. Adriana the plane's leaving in ten minutes" Antonio smiles and walks towards departure.
"Let me guess he owns a plane"
"Yup but don't worry I prefer your truck more" I smile biting his lip with my teeth.
"Take care riana" He finally let's me go.
I blow a kiss his way before walking to Antonio's plane.
I mean I've seen my fair share of planes but this was beautiful in a sophisticated way but he who's plane isn't.
Antonio removes his suit and hands me a glass of champagne.
"To success"
"To success" our glasses touch each other slightly then Antonio relaxes in his chair, smirking making me look out the window uneasily before my phone vibrates from my purse.
'Fly safe ❤. When you arrive let me know'.
My heart beats for you Khalil you and you alone.
Townville has always been cold, freezing infact. I gripped my coat tighter round my body when we reached the rosemary hotel. I turned around when I heard a honk seeing Antonio striding towards me while his assistant struggles with his luggage.
"Mr Sawyer I thought you were staying at the presidential hotel?" My assist chloe asked
"I was supposed to but Rosemary was just as classy and is also closer to the site I mean can you image the traffic that would occur with the amount of snow" He chuckles and walks past me.
"Ma'am I'm really sorry I made sure he was at a another hotel" Chloe whispers when Antonio had gone far enough from us
"Its fine. I'd try my best to avoid him" I breathe heavily.
Chloe giggled
"What is so funny?" I question her
"Its just any lady would do anything to be as close to Mr Sawyer even If they were married Sawyer is a freaking billionaire" She says hurriedly avoiding my eyes.
"I'm not interested in him Chloe" I reassure her
"Oh I know that. It's been quite long you smiled this much and you haven't yelled at me in a while believe me it a new record" Chloe says opening my suite for me.
"You haven't had more than a cup of coffee a day, you sparkle every morning, you don't yell any more and you leave work early. You don't need to tell me and everyone on the tenth floor knows that there's a man in your life"
Placing my bags on the bed she smiles at me knowing I looked flushed and heads toward the door.
"He makes you happy he also makes us happy. Goodnight Ma'am" The door closed quietly behind her.
I stood rooted shocked actually because first off Chloe and I have never ...NEVER spoken like this before. I mean she had worked for me for approximately a year and few months and now she talks like a fucking chinese palm reader. The chloe I know was slutty and attention seeking but shocking this few days she hadn't thrown herself at Antonio. I knew this but I pushed it aside.
Ugghhhh
I strip, have a hot bath and change into a sleeping short and one of Khalils shirts. I turn on my phone and video call Khalil. Oh how I've missed him.
He answered after the first ring.
"Hey babyyyy" I yelled
"Why are you yelling?" He mumbled sleepily. His brown hair so scattered on the pillow while his eyes were closed.
"Why are you sleeping it's just past eight" i complicated, changing positions on the bed.
"You do know the time zone is different right" he mumbles again opening his eyes. The moment his blue eyes land on mine i blush like a freaking teenager.
"Its around two here"
"Oh my bad. I just got in" he smiled and me and closed his eyes again.
What happened next I have no idea cause I drifted into a deep sleep.
