Chapter 14 Is she kidding me?
Chapter fourteen
If I ever see Dave again, Im seriously going to beat him to pup.
"Why are you out alone," his good for nothing Secretary asks. I don't know why everyone around here is so annoying. Does she expect me to piggyback her boss?
I look at her nevertheless, "I'm outta here. I give up!"
Kim stands and confusingly squeeze her face, "But his father said we should make sure he comes over."
"Yeah sure. He's your boss, isn't he? You can get him there!" I made to move but her hands held me, stopping me in my track. I look at her again. I'm seriously going to beat everyone to a pulp here. Why are they annoying me today for God's sake
" You can't leave like this!"
"Oh, get a rope and tie me to the fucking chair!" I scream at her, yanking her hand away from me.
I pull out my phone and text Micheal before stopping a cab. I seriously can't do this. I'm not some sort of detective. Why should I seriously be the one to go and bring a grown-up man. I sense there's something up Mr. Richard's sleeve. Nevertheless, I refuse to be part of his silly plans.
I get home and storm in. I meet my mom and Sam in the sitting room watching a movie. I smile, "Mom, how are you?"
Sam looked up at me and rushes to me. I pull him into a bear hug. He's acting strange somehow. He pull back after a while," I watched the video in the church today and I saw what Dave did before you punched him, "I couldn't talk, I just watch him, "I promise to make you proud and protect you in the future so no man would ever do that to you," he says finally and I feel so moved to tears. Again, I know I can always depend on my family. They are the only one that loves me and would continue to.
"You promise?" I ask again and he nods.
I pull him into another hug and look up at mom smiling down at me. I love my family.
Daves
What am I supposed to think of? I feel like my head is so full right now. I can't even remember the last time I laughed so deep like this one. Wait, what kind of a lady hasn't been kissed at twenty-five years? I'm sure she would be a virgin too. Thinking about me is giving me goosebumps.
Why the heck will I be thinking of something like this. It's so embarrassing.
I walk out of my room in a blue suit. My father is a cunning and witty man. I knew what he wanted to do with Jones. He must have heard the news about her. If she succeeded to bring me over, she would be a target for him. I'm Dave Margray! No lady must control me. Most of my behaviors were inherited from him. If I had chosen from my mother's side, I would be one of the peaceful men in the world. I just do wonder how my dad met my mom. They seem so different. Nevertheless, I just saved that Jones girl and she doesn't even acknowledge it.
Kim stand and look up at me, "Boss"
"We will go to the office now," I instruct and watch her walk out before I tag along.
Surprisingly, the men that were knocking earlier were nowhere to be found, confirming my suspicions about Jones. Maybe I shouldn't have done it. I mean I seriously wanted to make Jones pay even if it's for Michael's sake. Call it instinct but I'm going to do it again.
I smile again as I remember everything that transpired between us. She tasted of honey and her lips were so soft. Asides from that, I don't know ok but I had a strange feeling when I kissed her back then. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
Well, I must have gone mental!
We arrive at the company in no time and I walk in, taking the elevator to the upper part. They must be in my office. Truly, they were. I open the door and walk-in. Michael looks up at me anxiously, then behind me probably for Jones. His face fell as he sense trouble.
"Dad, it's Sunday. Why do you go ahead calling people out?" I say annoyingly as I take a seat near Micheal.
"Is that how to greet your father. By the way, where are Jones and Kim"
I shrug slightly, "I'm sure your boys must have given you feedback. I don't want to go down the lane again, "Yet again another lie. I don't know why I'm protecting her. Michael looks at me now, visibly angry. He would have punched me if my dad wasn't here. He's partially scared of my dad, we all were since high school. This man can do and undo. Like I've said earlier, I took after him in so many ways.
He laughs out loud, "You are truly my son. I thought you were going to start showing that a woman now controls your life," he says, suddenly forcing Michael to look at him. I expected it so I'm not surprised. I only laugh
"I gave her the justice. It was what she wanted anyway. I guess it was why she was so into me and doing all her best to show it," I could feel Micheal harden fist beside me and the heat emanating from him, "She was so sweet, "I add and laugh, "Can we talk about why you called this meeting cos I must go back to bed"
He looks at me, then at Michael, "Michael has signed the documents and we are awaiting yours"
I raise a brow, "What document!"
"You guys will partner for the progress of your company."
"Dad___", I started but he interrupted sharply
" I didn't ask for your contribution. If you won't sign this, someone else will and that means you will stop being my son, "God, how did I know this man? He's a fucking bastard!
I look at Micheal, perhaps this won't be a bad thing to me. Maybe it's a new beginning for me, although, I don't ever think I and Michael would settle our rifts.
But no matter how much I refuse to accept it, I realize I want to see Jones again. There's something about her I must confirm. Mehn, she made me smile twice. Anyways, I must stay close to her because of my dad.
I take my pen and start signing the document.
