"Oh. Okay. Yeah, Mrs. Smith. That is fine."

Kade had stayed over at her apartment plenty of times.

"Okay sweetie. See you tomorrow."

I hung up the phone and placed it back in my pocket.

"Is he okay? Where's Kade?" Brian said looking frazzled.

"He's fine. He just wanted to stay the night with Mrs. Smith."

"Thank God. How about we go out tonight? Just you and me. We could see a movie or get some food."

"Brian, you have a huge tv down stairs. Couldn't we just watch a movie there?"

"If that's what you want then yes."

I feel someone's arms wrapped around my torso and I slowly begin remembering last nights events. I looked up and seen Brian's sleeping face. His eyes softly opened."Morning beautiful," he said smiling at me."Morning.""That's the best sleep I have ever had," he said pulling me tightly into his arms."Me too," I chuckled.Brian pecked my forehead and stood up."Today is the day you meet my parents.

After that he finally discovered that I wanted space. I received countless message from, who I assumed was, Carly. The first one was getting together to plan the wedding. The next asking if I was okay because I wasn't at dinner. The next saying she was on her way upstairs to talk. Then another saying Brian wasn't with her.Tonight Brian and I were supposed to have dinner with Carly. Brian must have went without me. Not that it bothered me. I'm glad he went. We both have things we need to figure out.I rolled off the bed once I heard a knock on the door. I let Carly in and she handed me a bag."Here. You have to be starving so I brought you some food.

I broke the two eggs on the surface of the counter.Crack.Crack. I whisked the eggs, a rhythmic clink of the fork as it hit the glass bowl filled the kitchen.The tea kettle whistled. The eggs mixture sizzled in the pan, followed by salt and pepper.I leaned on the counter looking through the window, the autumn wind blew outside with whooshing sounds.Or at least that was what it would have sounded like to anyone else. Not me.I was deaf.Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed my teenage little b The CEO and me   Chapter two My eyes widened as I quickly pulled my arm from the lady grip, and pulled the cart out of their way, feeling my face heat up in embarassement.The lady waited outside as the men walked in. Before the doors closed, my dark eyes met penetrating bright blue orbs. Then they were gone.The woman turned to me, and if looks could kill I would have been six feet under.
