Chapter 9 – Annoyed

Sophia Celastio

“Mr. Mecort, we can’t offer you that, that’s our procedure.” For the fourth time explained to him but he still doesn’t understand.

“Why can’t you? You’re clearly the Celastio’s daughter so you can re-new the procedure.” I closed my eyes and breathed deeply as he said that. He’s starting to get into my nerves.

“Mr. Mecort, you can contact my father if you want to. He’s the real owner. I came here to tell you the details about the deal onlu=y.” I said trying smile widely as possibl to cover up my anger towards him.

“Joan, make an appointment with Jack Celastio.” He said to his secretary. She nodded and wrote it on her notebook.

“Okat then, I’ll talk to your dad about this.” He said. He stood up and walked out from the office and I closed my eyes. I need coffee right now because it gave me a headache.

I took my bag and walked to the lift, I’m going to starbucks since it’s the nearest of all. I walked out from the building and my legs stopped walking when I saw those familiar green eyes looking at me.

He leaned his back to the car giving me his usual arrogant look.

“So do you like flowers?” He asked.

“I hate flowers.” I said as I took out my phone and walked pass him towards the street. I felt him sneaking his arm around my waist securing me possessively.

“Put that arm away before I kick your precious jewel.” I threatened him with my cold voice.

“Beautiful, we haven’t see each other for 2 weeks and I bet you miss me.” I glared at him and he laughed. I was waiting for the traffic light to turn red so I can cross the street.

“I see you’re avoiding me.” He whispered in my ear causing me to shiver. Suddenly the idea cross my mind about being clingy.

“No, why would I avoid you?” I sneaked my arm to his back and the other hand to his chest. He looked shock because my behavior.

“You’ve been rejecting my calls.” He said and I smiled to him.

“My phone must be broken.” I turned to see the traffic lights turned red for the vehicle, it’s time to walk across. I walked first leaving Aaron there and suddenly slipped his hand to mine. I was quite shocked to see him holding my hand.

“Let me buy you another phone so you won’t have any excuses for not answering me calls.” He said.

“It’s okay, I can buy it myself.” I said with the sweetest tone that I ever let out for a guy.

“So where do you want to go, love?” He asked that and I realized people was starting to recognize Aaron. Girls were giving him a flirty looks and even some of them gestured him to call them as they showed him, their phone number. I looked at them disbelied.

“Starbucks.” I answered simply and I wrapped my arm around his hip. He looked at me raising his eyebrows.

“Do you want coffee?” I asked smiling sweetly at him, I think I need to be more clingy so he will hate me faster.

“Of course, beautiful. You understand me so much, I want a coffee too right now.” He gave me a peck on my lips, I didn’t see it coming. I tried to calm down my feelings inside of me.

I entered the Starbucks and walked to the order section. I looked at the menu and decided to just take an Americano.

“How about you?” I asked in sweet tone and annoying and clingy tone.

“Babe, I’ll take the same drink as you.” He winked at me making me want to puke. I hissed and cursed this situation in my heart.

“What do you want sir?” The cashier twirled her hair and winked at Aaron. I want to puke more.

“2 Americano.” I said and she kept looking at Aaron. Now, I’m the one who got annoy.

“What size?” She asked still looking at Aaron.

“Venti, sweetheart.” Aaron answered and I looked at them both in disgust. Aaron just calls everygirls sweetheart, honey, baby, babe, beautiful and the list goes on. Aaron took out his wallet and payed first. I already took out my card though.

“Love, the guy has to pay for the girl.” He said sweetly to my ear and I turned to him.

“I want it fast.” I smiled sweetly to the cashier and walked to the pick up section. Aaron followed me and we waited.

“Here you go, handsome.” She gave it to Aaron and gestured him to call her. I saw a phone number writer on Aaron’s cup. I looked at her in disgust, she’s so cheap.

We walked out from Starbucks as I sipped my coffee. Thank God, it’s so refreshing. I kept sipping my coffee and walked my way back to the office.

“Where do you think you’re going, Sophia?” Aaronn asked as he securing my waist again with his arm. I jumped and turned to him.

“What?”

“Let’s have lunch.”

“No thanks, I have work to do. Why don’t you call one of them to company you?” I smiled at him sweetly as pointed at his cup. Why isn’t he annoy at me yet?

“I rather be with someone interesting.”

“Let’s go shopping after that, how’s that?” The idea suddenly popped out.

“I would love too, babe.” He smiled.

Gosh, I need to make him annoy. Please be annoy..
