Sweet Little Bumblebee

Change of plan

Daisy

After being dispatched from the hospital Marcus ordered me to go home and rest for another week. He and Max dropped me at home and when he asked if there is anyone who can take care of me I've lied.

- Of course! Grandpa will come later and maybe even Sonia! - he left and I was alone with my fur babies. I didn't dare to tell grandpa what happened, because than, I must tell about the mistake I made and also about the agreement with Marcus. My days passed slowly as some movements made me rather dizzy and I slept a lot. I've ordered my food and spent most of the time indoors watching comfy series and animes. The week was finally over and I was getting ready for my first day after the incident. I put on a thicker nude colored stocking, a short black skirt and a white blouse with some black jacket. I let my hair down as my head still hurt a bit. When I opened the door I bumped into someone.

- Oh sorry! - I said but looking into the eyes of the person I managed to bump in, all my pardons disappeared.

- What the are you doing here? - Dylan leaned closer and held a piece of my hair in his hand. He smiled handsomely and his eyes sparkled while he said.

- I've missed you baby girl. - Is this motherfucker for real? I pushed him away and rolled my eyes.

- May I remind you that we have nothing to do with each other? - I stepped out of my apartment and closed the door but this got me trapped between Dylan and the door.

- What are you talking about? Nothing to do with each other? Baby girl, we were together for a year! What changed? - I was literally busting into laughter and he had to take a step back because I've bend over holding my stomach from laughing.

- He is asking what changed!!! - I said still laughing and I hit my thighs.

- Why are you laughing? - he asked and I've heard his annoyed tone. This narcissistic idiot... I straightened up and looked into his eyes. I used to love those eyes so much and the little wrinkles from smiling around them, they used to be so sexy in my eyes. The thick eyebrows, the tanned skin and the puppy brown eyes. He was also tall and toned, always smelling good, but all his attributes I used to love, now seemed to be less attractive. His wrinkles were simply wrinkles, his brown eyes weren't sparkling at all, and I swear to my life he seemed to shrank since I last saw him.

- Do you need a list or will you able to comprehend the simplified version? - he got surprised and I shrugged.

- Simplified version than. You are a narcissistic, egoistic, manipulative i***t. What changed you ask... Well.. First of all you've gaslighted me, made me believe everything bad was my fault and on top of that cheated on me! Holy flying cows! You even blamed your infidelity on me and now you dare to stand in front of me and tell me that you miss me? Are you nuts?? - Dylan kept staring at me and I've tried to dodge under his arm and leave, but he grabbed my shoulder and slammed my back against the door.

- You can't leave just like this. - he said and I grinned.

- Watch me! - He laughed and hit the door next to my head to see if I shivered like back then. From the annoyed expression on his face I could tell my reaction wasn't what he anticipated.

- Dylan, f**k off for God's sake. - when he didn't step away I said.

- I've warned you. - with a quick movement I've grabbed him under his arm and swung him over my shoulder. Dylan landed on the floor with a loud bump and whined due to the pain. I reached into my bag and got a hand sanitizer.

- What are you doing? - he asked and I smirked.

- I got my hands dirty, I don't want to catch your stupidity. Bye bye! - I walked away and turned back before stepping into the lift.

- If I see you again or if you dare to assault me like this once more, you'll pay for it. - I got into the lift and glanced at my watch. f**k! I'm late because of that i***t! Lucky that I put some nice sneakers on today! I ran to the subway and arrived miraculously before Marcus and Max. Just when I turned the computer on they walked out of the elevator.

-Good morning Mr. Kane! Good morning Max! - I've greeted them and Max nodded. Marcus stopped at my desk.

- How are you feeling?

- Honestly, some slight incident happened this morning that shook me up a bit, but - I won't tell him this...

- I'm fine! - Marcus nodded as well and I gave him his schedule for this week. He went straight to his office and I sighed with relief.

Marcus

Daisy seemed a bit odd this morning. She looked like someone who arrived in a hurry. Her hair was messy and her clothes a bit out of place. When I asked about her well-being she also hesitated and that answer didn't seem to be convincing. I've looked at Max whose eyes were fixated at the door.

- Wasn't she acting weird? - I've asked out loud. Max glanced at me and smiled a bit.

- I thought I was going crazy! So you also noticed.

- Yeah, but no idea why.

- If you ask me, I think she looked shocked. Like when you pull a gun on someone who doesn't expect it. - Max imitated a gun with his hand pointing at me and I had to laugh at him.

- Not many people expect to face a gun! But I get your point. Should we ask her?

- Or you can put a tail on her and wait for the report. - Max said and I knew he was right but my father's people were still looking after us. He wanted that arranged marriage that I had a feeling he'd be able to pull dirty tricks to make Daisy appeal unreliable.

- Can you find out discreetly what happened? - I've asked Max and he looked annoyed.

- Why don't you simply ask her? She is your fiance... Yet you know so little about her that it is going be suspicious! - I've sighed.

- I hate it when you are right... - I got up and headed to the door. When I opened it Daisy jumped up as usual and with a bright smile she asked.

- What can I do for you Mr. Kane? - she looked so cute and innocent today... I got myself staring at her for a moment before I said.

- Clear your schedule for tonight.

- Consider it done. Where are we going? - she asked and grabbed her notebook. I saw her erase something with a rubber and looked at me ready to write her new schedule down.

- We are going on a date. - the pencil fell from Daisy's hand and I've closed the door still hearing her softly mumbled.

- Nanana nani?! (What?!)
