Chapter 10: Notes & Offices
After telling Richard about Xavier's threat Richard spent the night at my dorm again. I felt so much safer with him around.
"Koooriiii, Kori wake up", I hear a voice say.
"Nooo", I mumble and fall back asleep.
"Kori, baby wake up", the voice says again and I feel someone nudging me.
I open my eyes and see Richard sitting down on the bed next to me.
"What time is it?" I ask dazed.
"6am", he says.
"Ugh", I moan and roll back other.
Richard chuckles, "I just wanted to let you know, I have to go back to my place to get ready for my first day at work, "Richard says.
"Mhm ok", I say to sleepy to argue.
"You want to come by the office to meet for lunch?" Richard asks.
"Sure, sure", I mumble.
Richard chuckles "Love you Kori, get some rest", he says.
"Love you too Richard", I mumble and drift off to sleep.
My alarm rings at 9am I turn it off and stretch and yawn. I look over at the side of the bed and see that Richard is gone.
'Hm guess that our conversation this morning wasn't a dream' I think to myself.
I get up and go to the bathroom start to get ready for class today.
As I eat my breakfast there is a nervous feeling in my stomach.
'I have class with Xavier' I think to myself.
"Morning Kori", Donna says as she walks in the kitchen. She goes to the pantry to get a bagel and puts it in the toaster.
"Morning ", I say.
Donna starts eating her bagel. "What's wrong Kori", she says.
"Today we have psychology with Xavier…how ironic is that", I say.
"Oh no shit, I forgot about that, well you have a restraining order against him and there's a warrant for his arrest so I doubt he will show", Donna says.
"I hope not", I say. I wasn't ready to face Xavier yet after what had happened. My bruises may have healed but I could still feel his cold hard grasp and his chilling voice in my ear.
"I really hope not", I say and continue eating my breakfast.
Donna and I reach the classroom and I hesitate outside.
"Do you want me to go in first?" Donna asks.
I take a deep breath, "No, I can do this", I say.
Donna and I walk in the classroom and go straight to our seats. We glance around the classroom nonchalantly.
"So far so good", Donna says and I nod.
Class begins to start and there is still no sign of Xavier I begin to relax and focus on the lesson
Donna and I walk out of the classroom I listen intently as she tells me about her date with Terry. The date went well and they are planning to go out again soon. I see Donna's face light up as she takes about Terry. I smile 'Looks like we both found love' I think to myself.
After I say goodbye to Donna I go downstairs to the parking lot. My heart is filled with glee as I anticipate my lunch with Richard.
I see my brand new ford fusion with a huge purple bow on it.
I smile, 'Very cute Richard', I think to myself.
I reach in my bag and pull out the keys that Richard left me this morning. I get on the car and type in the address to Wayne enterprises.
I adjust my mirrors and freeze in horror, "Xavier" I whisper.
I rub my eyes and look at the mirror again and the figure that looks like Xavier is gone.
I shake my head, "I need to lay off the caffeine", and I say and begin to drive.
I reach Wayne enterprises and park in the parking lot. I get up and stare at the tall skyscraper building.
"Wow", I say. I knew that Bruce's company was big and known all around the world but I wasn't expecting this.
I walk toward the building and push open the glass door. The lobby is very nice and modern with marble floors and black and silver furniture. I find the check- in desk and walk toward it.
"Can I help you?" the receptionist asks.
"Yes, I'm here to see Richard- I mean Dick Grayson", I say correcting myself since I'm the only one who calls Richard by his real name.
"Your name please?" the receptionist says.
"Kori Anders", I say.
"One moment please", the receptionist says. She picks up the phone and dials a phone number.
"Mr. Grayson I have Kori Anders here to see you" She says and nods, "Yes sir right away" she says and hangs up.
"Mr. Grayson is expecting you please sign the guest book and take a badge", she says.
I scribble my name and she hands me a badge. I clip it on my t-shirt.
"Thanks" I say.
She nods, "My pleasure, the elevators are to the right down the hall, Mr. Grayson office is on the top floor", She says.
I go to the elevator and press the top floor button. I hum to the elevator music as the elevator travels up. I hear a ding and the elevator opens.
I walk out and look around. There a small desk along the follower where assistants and other workers are. I look over to the left and see 2 huge offices with glass walls. I see Richard walking around in one of them. I smile and walk over.
"Excuse but you can't go in there", a girl with blonde hair and big brown friendly eyes stops me.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Mr. Grayson, doesn't allow visitors when he has business calls", she says.
I laugh, "I'm sure he will make an exception for me, I'm Kori, Kori Anders", I say and smile.
The girl checks a list and then smiles, "Oh Miss Anders-"
"Please call me Kori", I interrupt her.
"Um ok Kori, well Mr. Grayson is expecting you so go right ahead, would you like me to show you to the office", she says.
"Thanks", I say.
I enter Richard office he is facing the window the phone is his ear.
"I need those number by tomorrow can you do that? Good on my desk tomorrow morning", he says and hangs up the phone.
I sneak up behind Richard and stand up on my tippy toes and cover Richard eyes.
"Hey Kori", he says.
I remove my hands from his eyes, "How did you know it was me?" I ask frowning.
"I'd know those hands and the smell strawberry shampoo from anywhere", he says and kisses me.
The blonde girl whose name I still don't know clears her throat clearly embarrassed, "I'll just leave you two alone, and do you need anything Mr. Grayson?" She asks.
"No, that will be all Julie", he says.
Julie nods and starts to leave.
"Is that your secretary?" I ask.
"Yep she is new here just like me", he says.
"She is nice", I say and glance at Julie who is now sitting at her desk working.
"Are you jealous Kori?" Richard asks teasingly.
I laugh, "No"; I say and swat his shoulder. It's the truth I know how much Richard loves me and I have nothing to worry about.
Richard chuckles, "You have nothing to worry about besides you and I both know I prefer red heads", he says and kisses me.
I smile, "So this is your office, I was expecting a tiny cubicle but this is impressive" I say and look around. The view from Richards's window is fantastic you can almost see the entire city.
"Yea since I'm heir to the company Bruce gave me his old office", Richard says.
I look around the office and go to Richard desk. I notice some pictures on it, there is a headshot of me that Richard took and there is also a picture of me and him at prom.
"You still have these?" I say and pick up the frames.
"Of course, those are my favorites photos of us, I took them with me when I left", he says.
"Oh", I say surprised.
"It's like I said Kori my best memories are the ones I shared with you", he says and kisses me.
My stomach growls, killing the romantic moment and Richard chuckles and kisses my nose.
"C'mon let's get lunch", he says and takes my hand.
We decided to eat at a local sandwich shop.
"So how is your first day of work going?" I ask in between bites.
"Good, so far, helping run the company is pretty easy and Bruce only yelled at me twice today which is less than usually", Richard says and I giggle.
"How was your first class?" He asks.
"Good, the lesson was pretty easy today", I say leaving the part out about how I think I saw Xavier.
Richard phone interrupts our lunch.
"Grayson….what!" He yells and I jump.
"A fire, where? Ok I'll be there shortly", he says.
"Is there something wrong?" I ask.
"There is was a fire in the parking garage today", he says, "I'm sorry to cut our lunch short Kori"
"It's ok I understand", I say.
We go back to Wayne Manor and there are cops cars and a figure truck there. I see Bruce talking to one of the cops.
Richard and I get out of his car and he takes my hand and we walk toward Bruce and the police officer.
"What happened?" Richard asks.
"Someone started a fire to a couple of cars in the parking lot, it didn't spread to far since the parking lot attendant called the fire department just in time", he says.
"Did they see who it was?" he asks.
Bruce shakes his head, "No, but they did leave a note", he says.
The police officer hands Richard a note in an evidence bag.
I glance down at the note and my heart starts pounding out of my chest and my eyes widened in horror.
I warned you no one will get in the way of us being together
