"Here is your conference plan and in here you can find money expenditures for the trip."
I accepted the envelope from Buck and took the paper and glanced at the meeting schedule. It's scheduled for three days and the place mentioned here is...
"Los Angeles?"
Did I say it aloud?
"Yes. Is there a problem?", Buck asked me.
"No. It says the meeting is for three days."
"Yup! FD company said there's been a lot of new arrivals from other companies will be coming for the meet so it'll take two days to finish everyone's presentation and on the third day, they'll decide which company should get their project. Hey Nick, why are asking so many questions today?"
"It's just..."
"Ah! I forgot. It's your girlfriend isn't it?"
Before I complete my sentence, Buck finalized it before me.
"What?"
"Listen Nick. Work should be first besides everything. And I know you just started dating her recently and you don't want to be far
Elena pov;Sunday.While I was preparing breakfast for myself, I stared at the wall. It's full of pictures like Nick told. I didn't realise that I drew this many pictures until now since I stay at my place for weekends, drawing became my only pal so I draw endlessly.Today's job is to: Pictures to the basement.I quickly finished my breakfast and began to collect the pictures on the wall. While I was taking it out, I recalled when I draw that and taken it back into the memories.Ah! No time for that.I took some of them and kept them on the table and decided to bring a cardboard box from the basement.The basement?I haven't gone to the basement in... months. What if some insect jumps out of nowhere on me?I switched on the lights of the basement but it didn't turn on. Really? So I slowly walked down the steps with the help of my flashlight.It kinda looked clean and empty
Nick's pov;The president declared openly in front of everyone, "After I talked with the art directors of this company, we agreed to give this project to DA company this year as well."Everyone clapped after he completed his speech.Henry left the meeting room as soon as he heard that our company won this project.I stood and went forward to represent our company."Congratulations on getting the project.", The president complimented me and I thanked them in return.After talking with them regarding the project stuff, I left for my hotel.The cab to my hotel still hasn't arrived yet. While waiting I spotted a sweet shop nearby. I took a picture of that sweet shop and sent it to Elena.She called me after seeing the picture."Are yo
I woke up to the sound of my alarm while blinking my eyes and looked around. She wasn't in her bed. I stood and walked out of her room.I heard some sounds coming from the kitchen. I walked in the direction of the sound. Elena was making something."You're up. Will you eat pancakes with eggs and bacon? I don't know what you like so I…"I hugged her."W-What happened? Did you have any nightmares?``She asked me.I broke from the hug and said, "Are you okay?" While asking I held her chin and checked her lips, it was back to normal.She chuckled and asked, "What are you doing?""I'm checking if it's still…""Still what?"She asked me like she didn't know that her lips were swollen yesterday. Let's leave it like this."Nothing."
Nick's pov; I can't believe she bought Skillet band tickets to console me. Skillet is an American Christian rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1996. The band currently consists of husband John Cooper and wife Korey Cooper along with Jen Ledger and Seth Morrison. The band has released ten albums, two of which, Collide and Comatose, received Grammy nominations. It's hard to get tickets but she still managed to get them for me. I wonder why she's trying this hard to console me. I was so eager to hear her story before but after what happened these days I don't want to know how she proposed to him and stuff like that. But I still want to know how they broke up! "Hey, Nick! What are you thinking about?"Carol asked me. "Nothing. Why did you call me out here?" "If it's Elena, you wouldn't have asked q
My phone rang, making me wake up from my sleep.Who's calling me in the morning?I checked who it was. It's Carol."What do you want?"She screamed on the other side.Ugh! My ear!"Hey, Carol! Did you call me in the morning to scream inside my ear?" I bolted out to her."You said you aren't dating her then what's with all the pictures about?"She asked while chuckling on the other side."What pictures?" I asked her in confusion."Hahaha. It seems like you haven't seen it yet. I don't want to ruin the surprise. See it for yourself. Check out your girlfriend's Facebook page. Bubye."What is she blabbering about?I let out a sigh.I visited Elena's Facebook page. I scrolled through her feed.
We finished eating."I feel like I want to drink something?"She behaved like a spoiled kid."What about water?" I teased her back.She stared at me."You don't have any fruits in here to make fresh juice. I wonder how you spend all your money. You don't have vegetables or fruits to eat at home. You don't have instant foods either. You don't wear expensive clothes. You don't wear heels. You don't put on a lot of makeup. You don't hangout daily. What are you doing with the money that you're earning?""Woah! I don't have any food at home? I realised after hearing it from you. I must buy eatables tomorrow after coming from the office.""I asked how you spend money?""I don't.""What?""I-I… I spend only on merch since other things will be bought by my brother."
Nick's pov;Kiss.Why do people kiss each other? There are many reasons to kiss the person in front of you.Mainly, it's because you like that person and want to take your relationship further. It's what everyone thinks but a kiss can also begin, continue or ends the relationship too.There are also kisses out of a relationship which is from lust.But our kiss doesn't fall under any of these conditions. And I still wonder why I kissed her all of a sudden.Is it because of the environment? Is it because of our closeness? Or is it because of the release of oxytocin?(Oxytocin - hormone released to arouse or relaxes you)She said I kissed because to reconcile with her and said that's maybe my way with others too. I wonder where she got that from?I couldn't figure out why she took my kiss as a re
Nick's pov;I came to a nearby take out restaurant near Elena's place since we're both tired of cleaning the place and didn't cook for lunch.Mi Casa Americana. The only place in Anaheim which has great Mexican food to my taste and which is also close to her place.I ordered the chicken nachos and fries as appetizers. The shrimp salad(shrimp served with crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, red cabbage, carrot and cheese), Mexican BBQ chicken salad(Grilled chicken served with same ingredients as Shrimp salad)and ordered a main course as Carne Asada Plate(Marinated steak served with rice, beans, lettuce, jalapeno, onion and juicy tomatoes) and Chile colorado(Beef served with rice, beans and sour cream.While they were packing the menu which I had ordered, I got a call from an unknown number.I answered, "Hello?""Is it Nick?" The caller from the other side ask
