chapter FOURTEEN - DATE

Klinns's POV

My eyebrows furrowed as I stared right into his eyes waiting for him to spit out the words in his mouth but he didn't seem to be ready to do that either.

"Are you going to give me a response or just keep on mopping at me?" I shot at him and at least, the words brought him back to his senses.

"I mean. It's the first meeting that you are having this year and it would be disrespectful to send someone in your stead. It would be better to cancel it." He ran his hands through his hair as he tendered an explanation.

"Then cancel it.

"But that isn't exactly what I meant sir..."

"Not another word." I stopped.

"Look, David I am in a hurry and I have to get ready as soon as possible. It's my company and no one will tell me how to run it."

He shot a weird stare at me because he had never seen me that way before and I could feel his prickering stare behind me.

"If you wouldn't mind, it would be great if you pulled that jaw of yours together," I announced, walking towards the freezer and getting a bottle of water.

I sensed him shutting his lips immediately but I knew already that he was far from done with me.

"But sir. Why the sudden change? I have known you for a long time now and you have never been like this, work comes first before anything or anyone else." He explained to me.

"Is it because of that lady at the hospital?" He spat and I paused.

For a moment, I was frozen right on the spot where I stood and I clutched my hands tightly.

"How dare you?" I quietly said to him, but I was far from calm. Advancing swiftly towards him, I held him tightly on his shirt and noticed the shock in his eyes.

Realizing what I was doing, I quickly let go of him.

"Never you say that again," I growled at him, letting him go, I walked away.

Walking away from the living room, I walked up my luxurious stairs into my room with a long face and fell face up on the bed.

For a while, I stared at the ceiling as a slight sigh escaped from my lips.

"What's happening to me?" I asked myself.

Maybe he was ready to say that after all. Sometimes it felt as though I was running crazy.

"And this was the night that I was going to get all the answers that I needed from her." I thought.

I slept off right on the spot that I laid but luckily for me, I already had the alarm set in case of anything such as this.

Immediately the alarm rang, I jerked off from the bed with a worried look hanging on my face.

My phone was at the other edge of the bed and I picked it up as soon as I could...

"Oh my God! I have just fifteen minutes to be at the venue." I panicked.

I was so tired that I slept off and I had to say that I needed some of that rest until now.

My feet swayed away from the bed and I placed them on the floor.

I walked over to the shower, pouring the cold water all over my body and checking the time almost every single minute.

Getting off from the bathroom, I got dressed as soon as I could. I could hear the wall clock ticking at the other end of the room and I turned around towards it swiftly.

"Luckily, I am not a lady." I chuckled seeing that I still had five more minutes, and to my relief.

I put the finishing touches and I got into the car.

I headed straight to her home, the place I dropped her.

And just with the thoughts of driving there, there was something strange about the way I felt.

It was like a strange pulling that did want me to drop and it was as though driving was no longer of my own will even though I tried as much as I could to control it.

When I got to the doorstep of her house, I noticed that the door was closed and she wasn't anywhere close either.

"Where could she have gone to?" I thought again as I continued to search around to see if I was going to see her.

Negative thoughts sprang up in my head almost immediately. "What if she had run away?" I thought but I pushed the thoughts away from my head almost immediately.

There was certainly no way that she could have run away. She didn't seem like someone that could do such a thing.

But a part of me still held firmly to it.

Just when I was frustrated and I wanted to go away, I heard footsteps from behind me and I turned only for my eyes to meet with the most stunning lady that I had seen all my life.

She wore a milk-flowered gown and held her shoes in her hands.

"Did she run from somewhere or someone?" I thought.

I returned my gaze to her face and I could see that she felt a little bit embarrassed that I was checking her out, but I didn't mind.

"You look beautiful." I complimented her, and her lips broke into a smile.

"You did not have to go through the extreme to compliment me. I know that I am not." She replied.

At the words, I made a face at her until she was forced to pull her face away from me.

"Well. I guess that you are right. I did underrate your cause for the rare gem that you are, the words are supposed to be stunning." I corrected it.

She smiled "You don't look bad yourself." She replied to me, as it was obvious she was trying as hard as she could to end the conversation and I decided to help her do that.

I motioned for the car, and she got into it and I rode to a restaurant. The ride was another silent one and when we finally got to the restaurant, she was in awe.

"It looks beautiful." I heard her saying.

"And I am really glad that you like it," I replied.

It was a ticketed restaurant and I already reserved seats for us. Leading her over to the place, she placed some orders but ended up staring at each other.

I wanted to say something but it turned out that she made the first move.

"There is something that you wanted to inform me about right?" There was so much anticipation in her eyes.
