Knowing You

Chapter 4

Brent

Excelling at work has always been something that comes to me easily because my instinct has always helped me read people . This trait helped me hold the title of the youngest billionaire in the country . By just looking at them from afar I can guess what they are thinking and it's something that has always worked in my favour for business deals and in personal life to get myself out of clingy girls situations . The moment I would get the slightest hint the girl is developing feelings for me I'd be out of there . Does that make me an asshole ? We'll be it . I am not going to lead any one on with false promises .

Walking into this meeting with the wiz kid who has startup in the tech field with a great scope for the future. I knew I would ace this like any other meeting too

The boy across the table from me just graduated from MIT and has started a software app that connects talent across platforms . It's a work socialising app and it's damn brilliant and I knew I wanted to buy this app and have this boy on board as I saw a great scope

As we go on with the meeting knowing I have this cat in the bag . I turn my head towards the glass of the private dinning section of this restaurant which I always book for my lunch meetings onlooking the common dinning restaurant down below I spot something or rather some one I can't get my eyes off . I am sucked into her beauty like a vortex . In the background I hear the kid excuse himself to use the washroom and I know it probably means he is checking on whoever his adviser is whether he should take the deal I have offered or not . But I couldn't care less and that in itself is a first for me

All I can look at is the woman sitting by the sea side table . She has a timeless beauty . Flaming red hair , the exact shade of sunset along the horizon that I love to watch by the beach after I finish surfing . It is warm and tumbles over her shoulders silky smooth and shiny and reflecting light
The white creamy tone of her skin reminded me of whipped cream . I couldn't help but imagine if I reached out to touch her would I dirty her skin. And even from a distance I can see the blush across her skin while she taps away at her mobile screen

While sitting her posture surely speaks of someone who has no arrogance about her self but is confident. I can't help but wonder what her story was and who was lucky enough to spend time with her.

As I watch her finishing up what's he did on the phone and look at her wrist watch and start to put her phone in her wallet I understood the person who she was supposed to meet is late
'What a douche' I thought to myself . I despise people who aren't punctual . Time is far more valuable than money for me . I remember walking out of a multi million dollar deal only because the representatives were late. I am bought back to the here and now watching a cricket wanna be in all white approach her table and slide in across from her . And I instinctively don't like the guy .

Throughout their interaction three things were pretty obvious one they were strangers , two it looked like a setup that the girl wasn't enjoying at all and the guy was too arrogant and self absorbed to notice and three I so badly wanted to be the one having lunch with her which was strange because I've never felt this territorial feeling even with a girl who I was in love with back in the day that I feel for this absolute stranger . And judging by how cordial the woman was being with the douche she was a really nice person and I know that I can't approach her because a man like me doesn't do relationships and she was the kind you most definitely want around for the long run . I knew I would break her heart but that didn't stop me from wanting her

My company joins me back at the table and he that distracts me from watching the beauty while she chews her food . God alone knows why just her chewing food was turning me on .
I look across at the wiz kid and I know by the expression on his face that it's a done deal . We shake on it and we agree to meet the next day in the office to sign the remaining paper work .

While I bid my farewell I see that the beauty and her douche company are settling the bill and step out . I follow them quietly intrigued to see her up close and see their equation . On my way out I ask the server to bring my cheque and that I'd just be back .

Seeing her step back when he tried to initiate proximity settled the surprising bubbling energy that was building within me . As I watched him dejectedly getting into his car I couldn't keep myself from praising her to not go with the idiot . So I stepped closer to her and whispered in her "good call sweetheart" while saying that I got a whiff of her scent and she smelt like a vanilla cupcake .
