I am not done yet, don’t even think you have had the last laugh because I am going to get her back, watch your back, Kendrix, fucking watch your back,”

He let out as he stormed to the door and yanked it open, he was out in seconds, slamming the door shot behind him.

“Loser,”

I let out. I wasn’t feeling like working anyway, so I dumped everything and went to look for Raul who I found alone in the corner at the end of the café, I walked to him and sat with him.

“You are not eating anymore, why are you still here or you didn’t get food?”

I asked him and he pulled off his headset.

“I don’t know what to say to them, what if they find out who I am,”

He said in a low voice that broke my heart, I should have known he wasn’t fully ready to face the outside world.

“Raul, they won’t know unless you do something out of the ordinary and I know you won’t do that, more than half of the people here are humans and they are harmless,”

I told him but he didn’t look convinced.

“What do you want? I will get it for you,”

I encouraged and he told me.

“Wait here, I will be back soon,”

I said going over to where orders were placed and brought back to food which he took and started eating in silence, I sat there watching him eat, he looked a lot healthier now.

“Raul, when you are ready to go back to school, you let me know, alright?”

I said and he nodded without looking at me, I smiled. My phone rang and I took it.

“Sir, there is an emergence,”

My assistant said over the phone, at first my thought was that idiot was back.

“What is going on?”

I asked already planning to tell her to call security.

“There is a call from France and the meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow has been moved to today, and it starts in twenty minutes, I just got the call,”

She disclosed. Unexpected change of schedule but I wasn’t surprised, I was used to it.

“Set up the conference room and connect to the meeting room, I will be there in three minutes,”

I said and hung up, Raul was still eating but he was looking at me now.

“I have to go, you can come when you are done eating,”

I said but he was already up.

“You are coming with me?”

I asked and he nodded and we both left the café together, I made a mental note to treat him to dinner after the meeting ends, I hated online meetings but it was the most used in this age, and even though it sucks when looking at the people from a screen, I still had to do it, I wanted a global audience so I had to do the needful to aid that expansion.

The meeting lasted for over fours hours and by the time we were done, it was already past closing time, on the way home, I stopped at a restaurant and got the both of us food and I made sure he was full before we got into the car again and drove home.

Arielyn was already home when we got back, she was seated in the living room watching tv, she smiled when we walked in.

“You two had fun, right?”

she asked and Raul nodded before excusing himself and going up to his room, he must have used up all his social energy even though he barely said a word.

“He didn’t have fun, he was on his phone all day and I had an emergency meeting so we couldn’t finish our lunch, when I finished, I had to make up for that so we went out to grab dinner, did you just come back?”

I asked.

“Nope, I came about an hour ago,”

She responded as I took her hand and lead her upstairs.

“That’s my room,”

She said when we passed her room.

“I know, I have something to talk to you about,”

I said as I opened my door and we both entered my room, I let go of her hand and she looked around, I realized it must be her first time in my room while I have been to hers countless times.

“Did you meet with Jordan?”

I asked as I sat down on the couch and gestured for her to do the same.

“No, I didn’t, did he come to see you or something?”

she asked and I nodded.

“He did and was shouting that I stole you from him and that he will get you back,”

I explained. She looked amused.

“I met my dad, maybe he called him, he really said he wants me back? He is out of his mind, my dad is the one that told me, I am sure of it, we spoke at length earlier.

She explained.

“I thought you had things to do with your best friend, how did you end up meeting with your dad?”

I asked even though what I really want to know was what her dad thought when she told him.

“Well, I finished by five pm and decided to go see him again, I mean it is not like we have time to waste right? You need all the help you can get and I figured the sooner Dad know the better,”

she explained.

“Right, you are the best,”

I complimented.

“Oh, that’s not all, Dad said okay and he will let you decide what you want me to do since I belong to you,”

She revealed. She looked really pleased and that was enough to let me know we are on the right track, plus Jordan had an outburst which means her dad told him already and he must have come running to me thinking he was lying to him, oh, what a loser, I just know he is somewhere right now sulking and plotting his revenge, that’s what he always does when things don’t go his way.

“You did well Ari, and I will keep my part of the promise and make sure you do whatever you want,”

I said. I wanted to ask her what it was that she wanted to do but decided not to, she would tell me herself when she is ready.

“I know, and Dad agreed to help you and he said he will be in touch with you so be on the lookout,”

She revealed excitedly. I smiled.

“You did well today and deserve to be rewarded,”

I told her, pulling her closer to me, I drew her face to me and caressed her lips with my fingers, she closed her eyes and I dropped a lingering kiss on her lips, I liked kissing her so much, she tasted like mint, she must have eaten some earlier.

“That’s all? I think I deserve more,”

She lamented when I pulled away.

“Oh, you don’t want me to keep going dear, if I do, we might end up going all in,”

I told her, caressing her lips before dropping a light kiss on them, I wanted to do more but I didn’t want to rush her, she was someone I wanted to keep close to me and I wanted her to be sure before we do anything, well I think I was alone in that thought because she leaned in and claimed my lips, her hands finding their way to my hair, at first I let her do what she wanted but I soon took over, lifting her until she was on top of me, my arms wrapped around her waist, as we feasted on each other’s mouth.

“Now, that’s how you reward someone,”

she said when we pulled apart, no it was my turn to feel that it was enough, I wanted us to keep kissing.

“Do you want to spend the night here?”

I asked and she tilted her head to the side as if she was weighing her options.

“You don’t sound like you want me to,”

She said after a long pause.

“Would you stay if I want you to? We can just stay together. We won’t do anything but sleep,”

I suggested. I think am out of my mind and hope she says no.

“Nah, I prefer to sleep in my room, if not I might,”

She let out and close her mouth, I waited for her to finish what she had been saying but she didn’t say anything else.

“You might what?”

I asked.

“Nothing, goodnight Ken,”

She whispered as she got up, I did too and followed her to my door.

“Goodnight Ari,”

I told her when we got to my door and she waved back before running off to her room, I went back into mine and decided to check if I got any work-related mail while I was out for dinner with Raul, but nothing work-related came up but there was a mail from Embry holdings, I smiled when I read the mail, I got a meet up with her dad again by Friday which is three days from now and I know this time, it will be different…
