"what?"Christian said softly his eyes wide as a deer who had just seen the headlights.
"Got you!"and then I started laughing,Christian's face turned into a scowl,"so this was a joke?"
Your going to pay for this and after that he starts tickling me!
And thats how last night went for me.
"Ma'am"The chef was staring at me,spatula food sat perfectly in my dish but I still took more just to be polite."All set"Christian asked?I wasn't ready for the date I have with Brian tonight because firstly I don't even have a date that was a white lie secondly Brian is just not my type.
But I nodded since that would keep things easy,my schedule was in a Manila folder,tucked into my purse and had been beamed on my phone for backup.
Christian would be attending a fund raising coffee,this would be followed by a lunch with CEO's of the nations largest hospitals,bigwigs looking for breaks on things.
Meanwhile I hate public speaking and gosh that is not even stating our many other big differences but Chriistian and I just connected from the first time I saw region was clenched in a typical August moisture,my phone rang and it was Ethan Kate's brother calling,he was saying that he coming to Newyork for a few days and wants to stay at my place,and I told him that I would love that and hung up.
Ethan has always been like a brother to me.
Ethan face was as round and sweet as a bowl of rice again my phone rang this time it was my mom,what is it with people calling me so much today?
"Hey"
"Hi whats up?I say back to her.
"You don't know?"she says in a strange voice.
"I am out,whats going on?"I settled more comfortably into the seat readying myself for whatever long story she had for me "Oh god,you need to find a television set right this minute..They are saying"
"Your scaring me?"I say sounding desperate.
"Its Christian"
"What about him,is he alright?"suddenly concerned.
I tried to assure myself that he is fine,if he isn't I would have found out by now.
"Christian is saying that he is going to marry you on a show,when were you planning to tell me this honey?"Now my mother sounds hurt.
I pressed my lips together clutching the phone in my right hand.
Oh god! what the fuck? there has to be some mistake.
A tiny voice inside my head keeps on saying "this is a old habit of love,gives you comfort and steals your peace."
I start feeling faint and just look out the window soon afterward from somewhere faraway I heard a jumble of sounds and the world slowly started coming back into focus.I tried to concentrate and learned that a single soft voice of Mrs Jones,Christian's housekeeper calling me inside.I became conscious of how I must be looking and tried to fix my hair.I blinked once more and got out of the car and went through the door that led to Christian's apartment building.
