Nick's pov;
I came to a nearby take out restaurant near Elena's place since we're both tired of cleaning the place and didn't cook for lunch.
Mi Casa Americana. The only place in Anaheim which has great Mexican food to my taste and which is also close to her place.
I ordered the chicken nachos and fries as appetizers. The shrimp salad(shrimp served with crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, red cabbage, carrot and cheese), Mexican BBQ chicken salad(Grilled chicken served with same ingredients as Shrimp salad)and ordered a main course as Carne Asada Plate(Marinated steak served with rice, beans, lettuce, jalapeno, onion and juicy tomatoes) and Chile colorado(Beef served with rice, beans and sour cream.
While they were packing the menu which I had ordered, I got a call from an unknown number.
I answered, "Hello?"
"Is it Nick?" The caller from the other side ask
"Where are you now?" Elena asked me on call while I'm working at the office."At the office, ofcourse." I answered back to her."What!? Why did you go to the office today?""Why?""Did you forget? you're the one who said that my brother is coming today. I thought I'd introduce you to him.""We already met, Elena.""But he asked me to bring you along with me when he sent the address.""Why?"She ended the call.Woah! Did she just end the call?(Nick Winston 25, graphic designer. got rejected by a girl on a call for the first time in his life.)"When did you start laughing like an idiot?" Chuck asked me."Hmph!""Ah! The stern face again. Who was on the phone? I bet it's
Elena's pov;In Elena's workplace,"Hey, Elena! Did Matt say anything about changing his department?""No, why?" ,asked while I was responding to the emails which I received for the past two days.She leaned over to me and said slowly, "I heard that he changed his department here again.""What!?""Yeah, and I also saw him leaving Bill's cabin this morning when I went to give the scheduled appointments to Bill.""Stop spreading the rumours again, He may have come to discuss some work with Bill.""Really?""Why are you scaring me even before you know it for sure?" , I returned back to checking the mails.Alex came while I was still looking into the mails and informed, "Bill asked for you." And left to his place.
Elena's pov; Finally we finished cleaning the place together, and Nick went out to buy some lunch since we're tired of making one at home. In the meantime, I started watching a horror movie which I mostly watch and the only genre can be found in here. I haven't bought other genres since I'm not interested. After some time he returned with the food but fled before eating it. I ate the food after waiting for him for a long time and started watching a movie. Nick came finally. He sat beside me asking me what I ate and what movie I was watching and stuff like that. While he was talking with me, I smelled alcohol on him. Seeing me sniffing on him he said, "I had a beer." "Really? Did you just run off to drink beer with someone?" "You're not my girlfriend or are you?" He asked me back.
In the office,"Sir, I gave the report to Matt as you said and I think he would have checked it by now. Should I go and get it for you?" , I said to Bill."No need. I already received it from him. I called you to inform you that I'm changing you to the HUO department for some days because they said they are in need of an executive officer so you'll be working there for a while. I agreed to them before asking you. Is that okay for you?"He's changing my unit. The way he behaved yesterday and changing departments all look related now. Yes. He must have known something about me and Matt for sure. Should I agree or not? If I accept this, I can stay away from Matt , but at the same I couldn't be near my friend, Steffanie. Even if she knows about this, she would also suggest that I work in another department as well. Okay."Yes, Sir.""Well, take this along with you and give it to the he
Nick's pov;After the kiss,"I-I'll get going." I uttered while leaving the house.She nodded hurriedly.I left Elena's place.I came to my place.I kissed her quickly because I lost control of myself when she gave a peck on my lips. Why did I kiss her again? What will she take that kiss as? Why does the kiss always be meaningless between us? She took the previous kiss as an apology way, what will she take this kiss as? Wait. She's the one who first kissed me then why am I worrying about this. Thinking about that, Why did she kiss me? If I didn't react quickly to that, I would have asked her the reason but how can I now?What if she asks me the same thing? How should I answer her?Urghhh!After getting out of the showe
"Why are we here?" Asked while standing in front of the Stoddard Park"First, we'll close your eyes then we'll go inside."I wrapped a balck cloth around the head covering her eyes."W-What are you doing?""Wait.""I already know where we are, so why are you still covering my eyes?""Even though you know, let's pretend it was a surprise."I hope it'll change the atmosphere between us."Can I hold your hand?""You kissed me without even asking me. Now you're asking me to hold my hand?""I shouldn't have asked.""Yes."Did I say it aloud? Sh*t!I held her hand and walked inside the Stoddard Park, she held onto me tightly for every step she took forward.The Stoddard Park
I hit my head on my desk.Sh*t!I kissed her again. I kissed her again.Why did I kiss her?What am I going to do now? I took her out to forget that awkward moment but it happened again. I'm doing this again and again. I don't know what to do.I hit my head again on the desk."Don't break the desk." Chuck said.I gave a death stare at him."What happened to you?"I stood from my place and came out of my office.I took the cigarette to light it up but when I placed the cigarette in between my lips, I remembered kissing Elena. I took it and dropped it in the trash can beside me and dumped the entire box along with it too.I messaged Elena hoping she'll message
Elena's pov;I couldn't believe I let him kiss me again. If this goes on at this rate, I think I'm gonna fall for him for sure soon because he kisses me really well. I bet girls who slept with him would have liked his kisses so that's what they call came- from- experiences huh? I chuckled a bit."Looks like something good happened here." ,Mr Brett said.When did he come? How long was he watching me? Did he see me smiling?"It's nothing, Sir.""Drop the 'Sir' thing. How many times I said to call me Harry.""I think it will take some more time for that.""Well, make it soon. Addressing me as Brett kinda feels different."I nodded, "Yes,Sir.""I forgot to give you this in the morning." He gave me a file saying, "Make a report with the help of the data inside it and send it to me."
