The Runaway Hybrid King

Ch 02

Dianna's Point Of View

-The Next Morning

When I woke up, it was almost 6:30. I rolled over and grabbed my phone to see if I had any missed calls. I had a message from my mom saying she was stopping by the office along with my brother. I didn't see any calls from Chad so I decided to call him. He answered on the second ring.

"Hey baby," He said tiredly.

"Good morning. Why didn't you call me yesterday?" I asked him

"I'm so sorry about that. I was so busy and I ended up meeting another associate for another club. So I might get them both," He told me.

"That's great, I'm happy to hear that. Why didn't you answer my calls last night?" I questioned as I slowly got up from my bed.

"I was asleep and my phone was on ‘DO NOT DISTURB’. Are you okay?" He asked me

"Yes, I am doing alright. I'm just about to get ready for the day. What time are you coming back today?" I asked him.

"I am not so sure. It could be early or late. I have some things to finish up before I get there." He told me then sighed.

"Alright, I guess. I'm gonna get ready for the day so I'll talk to you later" I said, flicking on the bathroom light.

"Okay baby, I love you," He said to me

"I love you too Chad," I said smiling.

The first thing I do each morning is taking a shower. There is something about showering early each morning that makes my day so much better. I have always been a morning person so I have no complaints whatsoever.

The first thing I did was pull my hair down from the bun I had it in overnight and started to brush it out. afterwards, I pull my hair up in a neat ponytail and braid it out so it doesn't get wet while I shower. I wrapped the braid around and then put a shower cap on.

I turned on the shower and stripped naked and then hopped in. My showers usually last for at least 40 minutes and I don't know why. It has always been like that since I was a teenager. I shave my legs and my armpits, lather my body twice, and then rinse my body. It was always so relaxing.

Another thing that I realize is that whenever I use washrags, I feel so much cleaner. I loved how amazing my skin felt afterwards and it felt like I had really showered but that is my opinion.

After my shower, I wrapped my towel around my body and then poured some mouthwash into my mouth, and gargled my throat with it for at least 60 seconds before spitting it in the sink. I rather eat first then brush my teeth after because I do not want my breath smelling like coffee for the entire day and I also love leaving the house with clean teeth. Maybe most people wouldn't agree with my routine but that's it. It's mine and everyone does what they are comfortable with.

I walked into my closet and searched through my outfit options for this week. After 10 minutes, I chose my black and white v-neck/ low cleavage sheer top with no sleeves along with my brown jacket. I decided to wear my brown leopard print heels along with the matching heels. I lay my clothes out on the bed and put on a lace gray bra and panties set. I wrapped my robe around my body and headed downstairs to start breakfast.

For breakfast, I made a cheese omelet with bacon and a few slices of bread because I like having a heavy breakfast to keep me going until lunch. I also had a mug of coffee with cream. While I eat, I browse through my laptop, and by 7:15, I was putting my clothes on. My clothes always fitted so perfectly and my pants were a bit tight showing off my curves. I loved it that way.

My doorbell rang at 7:30 and I was in the middle of doing my makeup. Gladly it wasn't much. I put on my lipgloss and then grabbed my handbag and my bag with my laptop. I slipped my feet into my heels and headed to the front door. I checked who it was before opening the door.

"Good Morning Aries," I said smiling.

"Good Morning Ms. Hendrix," He responded. I turned around to lock my door and then we were on our way downstairs to the car.

"Aries" I announced as we got in the car.

"Yes, Ms. Hendrix?" He answered

"My mother and my brother are stopping by so we should be looking out for them. That also means don't treat them as if they're a threat, okay?" I told him. He hummed and nodded his head.

"Sure, no problem," He said to me.

We went on our way to the office and I tried to ignore how good Aries smells. We got to the building and we headed up to my floor. I greeted my assistant on my way to my office and collected my files from her. She waved shyly at Aries and he gave her a curt nod.

While I was taking a break from work, someone sneaked up behind me and wrapped their arms around my shoulder. I turned around and it was Jordan. I smiled widely and pulled him into a hug.

"Hi Big sis" Jordan greeted

"Hey, Jordy. How are you doing?" I asked him. He pulled away and chuckled.

"I have been good. I just got back from a runway show and I'm hungry. How have you been?" He asked me

"Great actually. Chad comes home today so that's a plus. I had a meeting about 15 minutes before you guys got here and it was a tough one. The model was so nonchalant and it annoyed me. He had the perfect body but it seems as if he is too good for our brand. I got him anyway" I said smugly.

"How did you do that?" He asked

"Well The Griffins don't play well with their contracts and I could easily pull from the company which results in them losing multiple investors. He is now signed to us and I pay him $50,000 less," I bragged as we walked down the corridor to my office.

"I expect nothing less from you. I also thought about what we spoke about, '' He said to me.

"About modeling for me?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes but I have my terms. I don't want to model with Amber" He stated and I laughed

"Alright. That is fair and if she is bothering you, I will shut it down real quick. No questions asked" I told him

“Yeah, please do. I am seriously trying to ignore her and not disrespect her. I never understand why some women and men never take ‘no’ for an answer” He asked me

“Hmm, reminds me of someone I know but that's a conversation for another day. Where is our mother?” I asked him

“She is talking to your bodyguard about you. Asking him how you are doing and if there have been any more threats” He told me. I stopped walking and he turned to look at me.

“She is asking him that? Seriously?” I asked frowning. He shrugged his shoulders and we kept walking.

“Yes, she is. She has been talking my ear off the whole drive over about me dating Camilla. When will she understand that Camilla is a total control freak who knows no boundaries?” He asked chuckling

“Camilla is truly annoying. There is no arguing that” I laughed and reached my office. Jordan pushed the door open and Aries was standing at the door while my mom was talking to him.

“Aw, my Darling” My mom gushed and stood up pulling me into a bone crushing hug.

“Hey mama,” I said laughing, and kissed her cheek.

-

I laughed loudly, spinning around in my chair while my brother told my mom and me about his latest girlfriend. I never understood how he put himself in these situations. It was ridiculous. He chuckled and I put a piece of chicken in my mouth. They both averted their gaze at me, looking at me expectantly.

“What is it?” I asked them.

“How is it going with Mr. Spoiled brat?” Jordan asked me

“Chad is not spoiled alright. He is just different”. I defended my boyfriend and smiled as I thought about Chad.

“Okay. Do you think he is going to propose?” My mom asked. My eyes widened and I almost spit my chicken out.

“Propose?” I asked her

“Yes sweetheart, proposed. It has been 3 years since you guys have been together, right?” She asked me.

“2 years and 8 months, to be exact. That does not mean we should get married, mom. We are both still young and it is too soon to be thinking of proposals” I said, leaning back in my chair.

“Your father and I dated for 4 months and we got engaged then. Now we have been married for almost 31 years now and we are still happy”, She gushed. Jordan chuckled and I grinned while sipping my iced tea while biting my straw.

“Mama, that was 30 years ago and you guys are in love. You have the type of relationship where you follow his lead and you help guide him in the right direction. He supported your dreams and you supported him. We don’t live in that century anymore” I said to her.

“Do you not believe that you and Chad can be that?” She asked me, frowning.

“I love Chad with all my heart, but sometimes he makes it so hard to trust his actions. I plan to talk to him about it when he gets back, but truthfully, we are not near the marriage level” I admitted truthfully. Jordan coughed dramatically and mom sipped her drink, smiling sneakily.

“What are you two laughing about?” I asked, looking between them both.

“You do know there is always Aries, right?” Jordan asked me. My eyes widened and my gaze fixated on Aries outside of the glass door.

“You guys couldn’t possibly be talking about Aries, who is my bodyguard. The man who barely looks at me and wouldn't even talk to me. You are both insane and I am not attracted to him either” I pointed out. My mom grabbed her bag, went through it, and took out her purse. She handed it to Jordan.

“Look at my ID and tell me what year I was born,” She said to him. I bit my bottom lip and Jordan burst out laughing.

“1969. Are you forgetting?” He asked her as I tried to bite back a laugh at how dramatic she was. God, I love her.

“Mom, what is it?” I asked, then laughed as she put her purse back.

“You just sat there and lied about not being attracted to Aries. I won’t listen to this lie” She said to me. I sat up straight and put my serious face on.

“Mom, I am being serious. Also, don’t doubt my relationship with Chad. He is a great guy who is successful and tries to be a better man. We just need a little work” I told her. She shrugged her shoulders, then we went back to eat.

How could they make such accusations? Aries doesn’t even look in my direction in a romantic way. His stares are usually cold and hard. He is always just looking and it just proves to me that he is truly not into me. For some odd reason, that kind of made me feel a little sad. Imagine someone working for you and probably hates you.

This shouldn’t even be bothering me as much as it is right now. My mom and my brother left shortly after my break ended. About an hour went by and I tried finishing up some work while laying down lazily on my couch. My office door opened and I looked up to see Chad with a bouquet of roses.

“Baby?” I called out, surprised. I sat up straight and he grinned widely.

I got up and ran over to him, engulfing him in a tight hug. He chuckled against my hair and pulled away from me, taking in my face. He pressed his soft lips to mine and I moaned in satisfaction, wrapping my arms around his shoulder. I have missed him so much.

“I have missed you, baby,” He said against my lips.

I smiled and gave him a peck on his lips. “I missed you more,” I told him. He chuckled and hoisted me up off the floor, taking me over to the couch.

His lips found mine as I straddled his lap. We started making out heavily. My hand gripped his hair and his hands fell on my ass. His sandy blonde hair was so soft against my palms and I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips when I felt his hard c**k beneath my ass.

“We should really stop baby, or I won't resist the urge to f**k you right here,” He said lowly. I smiled against his lips and pulled away.

“If I didn’t have a sketch to finish, I would let you,” I told him. He kissed my neck and then I got off his lap, readjusting myself.

“I am going to take you to this new club after work. More like your determined boyfriend’s new club. You don’t have to change or anything” He told me with a broad grin on his face. I hummed and smiled.

“I will definitely be there,” He said to me.

While he waited with me, he ordered himself some food. I told him I had already eaten earlier with my mom and brother. There is nothing that could break my mood today. With my brother and my mother's visit, they had already made my day better. That's how they were.

Now that my mom and Jordan have visited me, my father and uncle Mikey weren't far behind. This is a usual occurrence in my life and I loved it. My family is the best and you can shove off if you think otherwise. Not that you have a reason to.

20 years ago, when my uncle brought his wife Kate home, I never liked her. I always thought she was uptight and weird. She was always so serious and I was a child then, so it bothered me. The older I grew, I started to love her and we grew closer together. It made Jordan and me happy.

Like most blondes, Kate was beautiful with long hair, almost as long as mine. Her beautiful tanned skin and her small frame. She was very thin, standing at 5 feet 5 and God was she beautiful. I loved everything about her. Her British accent still hasn't left her in all these years, but she could speak without it.

When it was 5 pm, I was ready to leave with Chad. Aries was standing by the door as we walked out and he followed me closely. When we got to the car, he held the door open for me and then closed it before Chad could get in the car. I gave him a confused look but he didn't explain himself.

“Sergei, take the car behind us. We have another passenger,”Aries demanded. Sergei got out of the passenger seat and Aries got in.

“You could have left the door open, you know” Chad mentioned as he got in. Aries looked over at the driver.

“We don't have all day, Raynor. Drive” Aries told him, and Raynor drove off without arguing.

Chad looked over at me confused and I shrugged, letting him know I would talk to Aries later about his actions. Even though he is my personal bodyguard, he should also respect my boyfriend, even though my uncle never added that to the contract. I sighed deeply and told them our next destination.
