Holding on

Chapter Eleven

Danny
I woke up with a tight feeling in my chest. I didn't even understand my body anymore.

Michael didn't owe me anything so why was I even angry in the first place? I don't even know.

I had about two hours before work begun. I took a quick show and decided to go with a black pencil skirt with a white blouse tucked in. I tied my hair in a pony tail and headed to the kitchen.

I might just make some toast and make myself some coffee.

I looked at my phone, I turned it off yesterday when I got home.

My place wasn't large, then again I'm living alone. I was happy I was independent, I didn't want to depend on anyone so they could talk to me the way they wanted. You know how some people can be.

The first thing I saw oncey phone came go life was about thirty missed calls, twenty messages and a ton of voice mails all from Michael. What the??

I was cut off by my phone ringing again, I look at the ID and guess who...... Michael.

I just ignored the call and locked my apartment and walked to the bus stop. I get to work fifteen minutes later to find Michael sitting on the trunk of his car.

I walked pass him, I had a big day to look forward to and I didn't want to ruin it.

"Danny, please can I talk to you?" He said to me almost in a whisper but I heard it.

"What do you want Michael?" I snapped at him only to see a very tired Michael, his hair was all over the place and he had bags under his eyes.

He looked very exhausted like he didn't even sleep at all.

My throat felt fry instantly and I felt bad but he wasn't going to see that either.

"I know you have to work but I won't take much of your time.....please" , he was scratching the back of his neck and he looked very nervous.

"Fine, I'm listening", I try not to sound harsh and all, bit I feel so bad seeing him like that.

"Thank you. First of all, I'm sorry about last might, I wanted to tell you my self, that I was the heir to the Arthur Empire, that my father was the owner of the restaurant.

But I wanted to know if you'd take the way I am, the way you saw me.

You see the thing is that I have been in a lot of relationships bit they all went south I guess they were all after my father's money.

I could give them everything they could ever dream off but it was never enough".

"Ok, but what has that got to do with me then?"

"You're different Danny, and when I'm with you I feel so much at peace, I thought if I told you, you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.

I--I um I really like you Danny, like really like you like you". He ended saying, this time around he was looking at me, his orbs shining like the moonlight.

My jaw was literally on the pavement by now, did he just admit his feelings for me?

"Michael I have to go OK, it was nice talking to you but I'm late and-- "I was cut off with his lips crashing into mine with full force.

What is he doing? My eyes were still open from shock and my eyes were probably going to fall out anytime soon.

I was outside my workplace, once it dawned on me where I was standing, I pushed him off me.

"What was that for", now I was getting angry and failing miserably at it. I loved him, I really did.

"I can't help it anymore Danny, I just can't. Look into my eyes and tell me you don't feel the same, tell me you don't want me around you and I promise I won't bother you again".

I don't know where the energy came from but I crashed my lips on his right there, I didn't care about who was watching. For once I was going to do something for myself.

Our lips moved in a perfect sync like they were made for each other. He bit on my lower lip lightly for it to send sparks down my spine and I gasped. His tongue found mine and within seconds he was exploring every area of my mouth.

I felt my hands move to his hair and tugged at them strongly. I was running out of breath and I could tell he was too bit I was not ready for this to end.

I have never felt this before not even when Dave and I used to date.

I finally pushed myself off him and was breathing heavily while we rested our foreheads on each other.

"Well, that was something else", I heard him say with a smirk.

"Danny, I really can't get you out of my head. I don't know what you have done to me, I have never felt this way before, I really love you".

To say I was expecting all that would be a lie.

"Michael, I--", I was cut off by someone clearing his throat behind me and we both snapped our heads up to see.

"Ms Taylor, care to explain what's going on here?" Mr. Arthur's voice came boing through my ears. Apparently, he was not happy.

"I-um", I stuttered, I didn't know what to say before Michael spoke up.

"Um hey Uncle Steve, she's with me. could you please let this slide? Only for today though, it was ally fault. Next time she'll e sure to inform you".

I wonder how come he said all that with ease. And my manager is his uncle??

I'm so going to strangle him later, but I felt butterflies in my stomach when he said next time, was there going to be a next time.

I could only wonder but I couldn't hide the smile that was playing at my lips just at the thought of the idea.

"Ok, fine, but only for today. And Ms Taylor, you can have the day off bit male sure to report to work on time tomorrow. I can tell my nephew here would like to tell you more since he couldn't stop talking about you".

He said pointing a finger at me and smiling at Michael who was blushing.

"Really??? Thank you sir, thank you". I was very happy but I wondered that was not like Mr. Arthur on bit.

"Thanks Uncle Steve, I owe you one", and with that he hugged Mr. Arthur.

Turning to me with a big smile plastered on his face he asked, "what do you want to do the whole day?"

"Getting to know you better won't be that bad, I guess".

"Ok then, off we go", he said whiles holding the door of his car for me.

"What a gentleman", I said under my breath which I think he heard.

"I try to be", he said when he sat in the driver side.

All I could do was smile.
