I have waited for you Chapter 13 Neon's Account
_MeghanI walked into the back of the eatery, today was our first day back since the place got flooded by the water from upstairs. Everything looked as it was before only it was new and better. I took out two cups for me and Dave. Since he had not yet arrived I was by myself in the kitchen. The coffee machine was already on and brewing the magic beans. Francois was the first one to open the shop, he switched on the machine before any of us got to work. I poured myself the steaming liquid and sat down next to the workbench. I leaned back on my chair and stretched, this here, was the best part about the morning ritual. We started our mornings like this, with nothing but coffee and silence. It was always the calm before the storm. "Dollface?" Francois called from the door. I opened my eyes a crack and looked at him, I hadn't heard him come in and had my eyes closed, enjoying the calmness that I was now addicted to. "I didn't hear you come in," I said putting my cup on the workbench in

_Neon Sylvia knocked and entered my office, she looked around the spacious office when she didn't see me at my usual spot. Behind the desk. I was making use of my spacious office. The interior designer had set up a lounging area that I've only used a handful of times. Now that I was sitting on the soft suede-long couch. It was worth the money. "I'm right here, what got you so worked up?" She looked like she had been running. "I didn't see you there," she raised her eyebrow. "I don't think I've ever seen you use that side of the office." I laughed at her comment. She came closer to the couch and looked at the old file in my hands. She brought her hand to my forehead. "Are you sure you're okay, You've been different lately.""Not sure I know what you mean. Mind telling me what was chasing you just now?"Yes. Peter is outside." I must have given her a confused look because she shrugged again. "He says it's urgent.""Old Peter?" she nodded her head. Peter was my accountant and I've bee

_Meghan.The day I came back to work, I walked into the kitchen and found Dave already pouring himself a cup of coffee. "Can I also have some, I'm the one who's late this morning," I said standing at the door. When Dave swung around, I knew he had not expected to see me there from the look on his face but he quickly composed himself.When he walked up to me, he had a grin on and pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my hands around his waist and leaned on his chest. He smelled good, smelled like a man. Some days it was harder to stick to my convictions than most, especially when he was brushing my hair in slow strokes like he was now. Making me feel delicate, like a flower."What are you doing here?" He asked in a soft voice above my head. "I had to work, I was gonna go mad if I stayed another day in my flat." I tried pulling away, I was enjoying the attention a bit much and it was making me needy. But he tightened his grip."I was so worried about you. Tonight I'm taking you to my p

_Neon The day Adelita showed up at my office. I knew someone has been feeding her information. "I see you still where I left you." She said as soon as she stepped inside my office. "Adelita," I said as I got up to kiss her cheeks. "You are a hard woman to find.""I'm sure if you looked hard enough you would have found me." She shot back. "What brings you to London?" I kept my eyes on her face as I took my seat again opposite her. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I should drop in and say hi, seeing how you've been looking for me." She was amused by my failures to find her. "Neighborhood huh?" That was a load of bullshit. But I thought it was better to indulge her. "How are you finding our humble neighborhood?"Anyone listening to would never have guessed we were man and wife. We were just two total strangers. "It's okay, maybe too dull for my liking." No lie there. "What brings you here Adelita?" I asked seriously. "Can't a wife come and see her husband without a reason?
I have waited for you Chapter 17 Ting-a-ling-a-ling.
_Meghan"Dollface, someone is here to see you," Francois spoke from the door of the kitchen. His posture raised alarm bells in my system. "Me?" I asked, feeling a chill run down my whole body. With my recent luck, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cops coming to arrest me for neglecting my baby."Yes." His voice was not very reassuring. In all the time I've been at the Eatery, no one knew who I was and no one from my past knew where I worked. I had cut all contact with my friends. Only if Ben hadn't stumbled upon me the other day, I would still be a ghost. "Are you sure Francois?" I asked again as I took off the apron I had put on not so long ago and smoothed my top. My eyes went to Dave, who hadn't moved his gaze from us, his jaw had gone tense and he was holding the spatula too tight. He had lost interest in what he was doing. "Are you not Meghan Adams?" Francois asked and I nodded stiffly. Surely Ben would not come back for another scene."Then come along." I put his hand on
I have waited for you Chapter 18 What a Man
_Meghan When I was finally able to make it to the kitchen, Dave was waiting for me. "Everything okay?" he asked as soon as I walked in. "Yes. Everything is just peachy." I hated lying to him but at the same time, I didn't want to involve him in my drama with Neon. And I didn't want to think about what Neon had said. I wanted to be with Ethan but not under Neon's thumb.I had to find a way of securing Ethan's future that did not require us to be under the same roof. The rest of the day went without any episodes, only with Dave's gaze burning a hole into my back. I knew he was looking at me but I tried to focus on my work. Stealing side glances at him when I cleared his workstation. If Chef felt the tension in the kitchen, he was too polite to say anything or the man was just too busy to notice. The atmosphere was choking. When the afternoon traffic eased. Francois walked into the kitchen and leaned back against the wall with his hands in his pockets. I stopped what I was doing an

_Meghan. After the initial shock, I began to calm down. Although I couldn't still explain what happened. The events didn't even make sense to me. I had been looking forward to seeing Ethan for months now and when I finally got the opportunity, I had a breakdown of some sort. "You scared me there." Neon who had been watching me like a hawk finally said. "How about you go upstairs and take a long bath and I'll ask Simon to bring your dinner." I cleared my throat and nodded. "Maybe we can talk then, are you going to be here tonight?"I didn't want to assume anything. He looked like a god in a suit, and with his wife in town, I'm sure he had places to be and a face to see. "I will be here, but I thought you might want to relax, besides we still have time.""We don't." I said stiffly."What changed, between this afternoon and now?" He had a puzzled look on his face"Nothing changed. I just want to go to work, that's all." I still needed my freedom, rich man had a way of offering false s
I have waited for you Chapter 20 Extra Security Measures
_Meghan Getting the massage done without falling into the trap was no easy feat. Afterward, I ran into the bathroom and took a shower, I needed to get back into the correct head space. How were we supposed to raise a child under the same roof if we could barely keep our hands off each other for twenty-four hours? I came back to a neat room, the bed had been made and curtains pulled back to let in the morning air. Now I believed Neon when he said, the penthouse was not too big, he could manage on his own. After getting dressed and making myself prettier, I left the room and found Neon in the kitchen. He had changed into a pair of jeans and a tight T-shirt. The outfit did nothing to conceal everything that was underneath. He was on the stove making breakfast when I walked in or more like sauntered in."You look so comfortable there, what are you making?" I walked over and peeked at what was sizzling in the pan, just to get closer and smell him. The man was eye candy and he didn't eve
