Chapter 7
I woke up extra early this morning to take a long, very much needed, relaxing shower. When I came out, I wrapped a towel around myself and started on my hair. After drying and straitening it, I looked through my closet for something nice to wear.
Today I was going to make sure I looked presentable at work, unlike the past few days when I showed looking like I’ve trampled on by a herd of cows. I was done moping!
It’s been a week since “the incident” but nobody has spoken about it. Nick made sure to keep himself busy when I was going to ask a question and Evan was nowhere to be found these days. I’ve gotten no answers what so ever and today I was determined in getting them all.
I put on my red peep toe heels to match my red blouse which gave my breast a little more of an ‘oompf’ and a nice slimming cream colored skirt. I looked over myself one more time in the full length mirror and decided that I definitely looked “doable” as Sam would put it. With that I rushed out of my house and made my way to work.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Stepping out of the elevator with two cups of coffee in my hands, I made way to Nick’s office. I knocked on the door once and entered. Trying my best to not spill any coffee on the floor I looked down to steaming cups and kept my focus on them. When I finally reached Nick’s desk, I looked up to meet Nick’s heated gaze.
“Good Morning Mr. Walker, here’s your coffee. Also you have a meeting today at 12:15 and a conference call at 3. Oh, and I almost forgot a Mr. Hank Samuels called and wanted set up a meet with you to discuss a potential busi—Mr. Walker my eyes are up here.” I said with my eyes narrowed slightly trying to cover my chest with my arm.
“Uh, yes sorry Ms. Collins I was just looking at the material of your shirt. That looks like great quality; you really know where to shop.” He lamely covered up.
“Right, well anyways if there’s anything else you need just buzz me over.” I say walking to the door and covering my butt with my notebook knowing that he would be staring.
Once I sat in my big black rolling chair I relaxed and started my work with a bit of a blush on my cheeks.
-----------------------------------------
When I was half way through my paper work I noticed it was 5 minutes to 12 and decided would go and inform Mr. Walker that I would leaving for my lunch break. When I entered his office I saw him preparing for his meeting, mentally jotting down ball-points to remember.
“Hey Mr. Walker, I just wanted to tell you I’m going to be leaving for lunch. Good luck on your meet-“ I was cut off by the door opening.
“Hey Nick, I wanted to talk—“Evan said as he entered Mr. Walker’s office.
“Oh sorry if I’ve interrupted something” he quickly apologized.
“No don’t apologize I was actually going to go find you and ask if you wanted to have lunch. I haven’t really seen you around much lately.” I ask walking towards him. He looked over to where Nick was standing with a stiff stance and wide eyes.
“Angela you can’t go to lunch with Evan because I need you to stay here and finish all this paper work” Nick said quickly.
“Oh, come on Nick my stomach sounds like it’s about ready to eat an entire horse. I’ll finish the paper work when I get back.” I pleaded with my puppy dog face.
“Fine then you can’t go to lunch with Evan because I’m taking you out for lunch.” He exclaimed grabbing my hand.
“Nick you have a meeting in a few minutes that you can’t miss. Besides me and Evan have a lot of catching up to do. We won’t be long. Bye.” I quickly grabbed Evan’s hand and rushed the both of us out the door before Nick could interject again.
“You know he’s going to be furious right?”
“Yea, but I’ll deal with that when I have a full stomach. Let’s go you have a lot of explaining to do.”
------------------------------------------
When we finally got to the restaurant, it took about 15 minutes for us to get a table. We walked over our table and slid into a booth; Evan sitting right beside me. We finally order and I got to ask the question that’s been bugging me ever since that night at the club.
“Evan, what was Nick going to say that night before you cut him off?” I asked anxiously.
“Listen Angie there is some things that you are just not ready to hear yet. Trust me; it’s one of those things that you wish you could unhear right after hearing It.” he said with a soft look on his face. He reached over to me to grab my hand and rubbed the back of it in a soothing motion.
“I know, but it’s just been eating me inside that there might be something huge that didn’t know about Drew and it’s crazy because we’ve been together for 2 years and it seems like it was all lies.” I say searching his eyes for understanding which I quickly found in them.
About 10 minutes later the food finally arrived and I couldn’t wait to dig in my spaghetti and meatballs. I know I probably looked barbaric to Evan, but what can I say? A girl has got to eat.
I looked up to find Evan smiling at me. He lifted his napkin and reach over to me to wipe the corner of my lip. Leaning into his hand as he wiped my face clean, I felt like was suddenly lifted in the air and placed onto someone’s lap.
“Hey guys, what’s for lunch?” I turned around to see a smiling Nick who was slightly glaring at Evan.
What happened to his meeting?
------------
Just wondering if it’s too soon to ask who’s team Nick or team Evan?
If not I would love to hear your responses!
