I walked in to the the real estate office and everybody was shouting, it was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. I was about to walk out and cancel the appointment, but before I could my eyes met the most mesmerizing blue eyes I have ever seen.
She had a long mane of red hair, and even if she was seated, I knew she was short. She stared right back at me. We stared a each other. It felt like we were the only people in that room, and then she looked away but I saw her blush before she averted her eyes.
"You must be Mr Boselli, welcome to our office" a woman a said
"My name is Marissa, its a good to meet you. We spoke with one of your employee who said you can only be available for the showing on Monday, would you like to sit down?"
" No I would not,thank you, I want to see the house as soon as it can be arranged" I told her
"Of course..Abby, I heard her call out" I saw a blond girl coming towards us and I knew she was the agent who was going with us, and I couldn't have that. I wanted the girl with the blue eyes.
"This is Abby, she is going to show you the house"
"No, I want her" I said loudly to make sure every one heard. I didn't know why I did that, even Bruno raised his eyebrows. He was probably thinking " what the f**k?"
But he didn't question me.
"Sir, Sophie doesn't know where the house is located"
Sophie, that's a beautiful name, I thought before I spoke to Marissa
" Its okay, you have the directions on the brochures, don't you? We'll find our way.
I didn't wait for her response. I looked at Sophie but she just remained seated and stared at me looking perplexed.
"We need to move, I don't have the whole day" I told her, and she still didn't move
"Sophie, Marissa called, Mr Boselli would like you to go show him the house. She still didn't move.
I looked at Bruno, and immediately he knew what I wanted.
"Miss, the boss does not have the time for a staring competition, you need to get up" I heard Bruno say.
Sophie sprang up, picked up her small handbag and came towards me. Bruno has a menacing glare, he tended to scare people.I knew the outcome when I silently ordered him to force her to move.
"Let's go" I said. She didn't say anything, but she gave me a nod. We walked out of the Office with me at the middle of my two men.
"You need to walk faster" I snapped at her
" I am walking faster, I just don't happen to have long legs to keep up with you" She muttered under her breath, but I heard her.
I'm sure she didn't mean for me to hear it, but I did. I felt my lips twitch, this was going to be interesting and I was going to have fun.
When we got to the parking lot, she stopped walking, "Hmm...Mr Boselli," I stopped walking and turned around to look at her "
"Yes"
"My car is this way, but it only can fit two people."
"What makes you think we are going in your car?" I asked
"You're not?" She asks, staring at me suspiciously
" No, we are going in mine" she seem like she wanted to say more, but I didn't let her
"I'm a busy man miss, I don't have time to stand here and argue whose f*****g car we going to drive in" its not your choice anyway! I was getting really agitated
She cringed, and I realized she was afraid of me. I didn't want her to be afraid of me.
I'm feared. People in my circle quiver at the mention of my name, but I didn't want this petite girl to be afraid of me.
What the f**k was happening to me, I live in a world where I didn't give a s**t about anything or anyone and I liked it that way. But she was having a very bad effect on me, I wanted her to like me.
What is your second name anyway?" I asked. I didn't know what else to say to her, and that was the only thing I could think of to make her loose the fear in her eyes.
"Harris" She said softly
"We need to move Miss Harris, I promise not to eat you and burn your bones.
She smiled at me, a small, beautiful smile.
" Okay" she said and we walked to my car together.
