It has been a week since I started working with Laura, she is a brilliant and determined woman. I looked at her from my table, a frown on her face as she focus on the paper before. With constant butting of her lower lips, she does that a lot when she is thinking.I would say she is an open book in this week my office has been lively, for some reason I don't want her out of my sight . I know she is a free woman and she is beautiful, James has a thing for her he has been trying hard to hide it but I know himm very well. I wonder if he acted on it and she rejected him.'Tony, would you like a cup coffee?''No.' I replied pretending to be busy.'Okay I won't be long, erm I have been meaning to ask you when will my office be ready?''Soon I believe.' I gave her a vague answer.'Okay.' Don't judge but I prefer her working here with me I could ask her anything without walking or talking. It makes the partnership easy, besides I have to know my partner well.I looked at the ID of the person
Laura pov 'This burger is tasty!' I said covering my mouth and still chewing the goodness, uuh. 'You know ladies do not speak with their mouth full.' Tony said frowning at his food. 'Well, be informed I am not a lady but a full grown woman.' and a mother I would have said 'Isn't it the same thing?' 'Not in my opinion.' 'Forget it.' he threw his hand dismissively. 'If you say so , are you not going to eat your burger?' 'No, you can have it, how you like it is beyond be.' he wrinkled his nose pushing the plate towards me. 'Thank you.' 'Are you eating it now?' 'Erm why not?' I asked pausing my action. 'Wouldn't that be too much?' 'Well Tony unless I have told you I am on diet which I am not, I am entitled to eat till my heart content.' 'Sorry don't be touchy about it.' 'At least I am eating unlike some people who aren't, for the record you are not on diet right?' 'No, I am not, I am tired of this place hurry I need fresh air.' 'Yes boss, I ate as fast as my mouth would
Laura Pov It feels nice to rest, stretching my tired muscle while yawning I rolled out of bed. I would love to sleep some more but my plans won't put itself into action. Speaking of plans I have to call Eddy I miss that little rascal. Not putting too much thought into it I face timed Nico. He picked immediately, 'Hello Lau...what happened to your hair?!' he shrieked. Leave it to Nicholas to be worried about things like that. 'Nothing, I just woke up.' 'I know just messing with you, to what do I owe this morning call, miss me already?.' That is why I love Nicholas, why didn't I fall in love with him instead. 'You wish I was, I miss my baby ... ' 'Mum!' Eddie screamed jumping on Nicholas. 'Hey, kiddo calm down before you break something.' Nico told him. 'Hey honey, I miss you so much.' Seeing him only made me realize how much I miss him, he looks like his father everyday. 'I miss you too mummy, you left me alone with granny and uncle Nico, I am very sad.' he pouted looking
Laura Pov 'Did you bring out it all out?' 'That's a disgusting question.' 'hmm' looking at his disheveled hair and the loss of clour from his cheek I can say he needs a doctor. 'Why are you staring at?'. 'Nothing.' Flashback 'Why didn't you tell you where allergic to chocolate!' I yelled at him he was sick and he knew the cause. 'Calm down love I am fine now okay.' What I have been up all day in the hospital praying for him to be alright, to hear this? 'Don't tell me to calm down! why the heck did you eat the cupcake?!' 'I couldn't resit it any more and I didn't know it would be this serious.' 'Oh Tony, I would have just baked another cupcake for you if you wanted to try it that bad I had vanilla too.' Sighing I sat on the bed taking his hands between mine. 'Please, don't put your life at risk again it was awful watching you faint and sitting waiting for the doctors to tell me you were alright. I...I never want to feel like a part of me is gone.. 'Hey, I didn't mean for
Anthony's Pov 'Beep,beep' The annoying sound continued, at first it was faint but gradually it became loud. Groaning I opened my eyes with the intension of stop the sound. However that action fled my mind when I blinked severally to white celling and the smell of disinfectant. Why the heck am I in the hospital? taking a look at the room my eye met black mop of hair. I know who the hair color belongs to even if I was blind I have familiarized myself. 'L...l..' my throat was very dry like I had swallowed sand. If I want to know why I am here I need to try harder. 'L...love' there I hope she heard cause it took me heck of an effort to say that word. Her head shot up, immediately she looked at me then blinked twice mumbled before rushing to my side 'Y..You are awake... I ..thought you wouldn't...neverever do that again' she said it between sobs. What did I .... Oh that. Wiping the tears that refused to stop, I could only assure her that I was here and I was better, she gave m
Laura Pov 'Wow' those are the only words I have been able to utter who would have thought speaking and laughing to the sales guy will get me what I needed. The fact that I didn't do it intentional only mean one thing he is remembering and I will help him remember faster. Smirking to that thought I decided to try the swim suit I got. It was red and glued my body the right way, looking at the mirror in the stall I admired it. The red brought my caramel skin to like, the front looked like a push up bra with the hook at the front. However it had strings at the back and the middle section. Turning I looked at the strings that joint the top and down forming an 'x' shape. I wonder if this was really for swimming. 'You have to come out sometime.' He spoke loudly startling me from my day dream. Show time lets see how far he can hold on, it would be nice if I had my heels on but no today of all day I chose flats!. Sighing I walked out to meet him, and boy did I love the stare I got. Grin
Tony POV What on earth am I doing? What got me to accept this and much less kiss her!. I am angry at myself for doing things I least expect with no reason. We didn't talk when we came back to the hotel, we went to our suits the moment we got to our floor. Sitting on sofa at the balcony, the cool air caress me throwing my hair on my face. Reminding me to cut my hair my thoughts have been everywhere and nowhere. I took a sip of coffee and winced at the now cold taste, it was brewing hot when I came to the balcony, placing the cold mug on the table it has lost it purpose of keeping me warm. Sighing, I leaned on the rail seeing people seated and chatting like they had nothing to worry about. My thoughts roamed to the person I have been avoiding to think about. Laura, she took my breath away the moment she walked into the office. No man can forget beauty like hers, I remember being trapped looking at those big green eyes that had lots of mystery. I hardly paid attention to the thi
Laura Pov The renovation has been going on fine and I am pleased with my work so far. The last few days has been hectic, granting interviews and taking surveys of food eaten in the area I also started learning how to cook some of their local dishes. It wouldn't hurt to add new dish to my menu back at home. Sighing at the countless dishes I have to look through, I wasn't going home anytime soon. 'Mrs. Laura it's late the workers and I are heading home.' 'Okay, I will be leaving soon.' I told him continuing my work, expecting him to leave but he didn't. 'Mrs...' 'Call me Laura' 'Okay, Laura forgive me for going out of my way buy you have been here all day. Wouldn't be nice for you to have a break and continue tomorrow? you look exhausted.' He added with a wry smile, he sounded like my dad when I refuse to leave the restaurant. 'You are not out of line Jack and you are my friend, I do not hold it against you.' His tensed shoulders relaxed, 'Thankyoi Laura I can accompany you hom
