1199 Words
It feels like I was on my way to a funeral this morning. I was really not in the mood to meet my future husband, but I did make a promise to my unborn baby and my parents so I will keep my word and well Linda said she will keep an eye on my class while I go to my dad's office to sign a contract of agreement. I always thought I would fall in love and then I would be proposed to then get married , but like the saying goes , one don't always get what you want and I supposed the same goes for me then. Going to my father's company was second nature to me I have done it since I was small and he always had a burger and chips waiting for me with my favorite strawberry milkshake in his office, but I don't think it will wait for me today seeing this is not social but more like bushiness. I loved this building but the best for me is the people that works here for him, they respect my dad and think of him as the godfather almost not that I have any idea why, to me he is a softy . Like always Trudy is still in the front lobby with her husband who is also head of security a true power couple if any and the heart it seems. "Well just look at you , so pretty your father is already waiting and a very handsome young man too", Trudie says politely so I greet her back not to be rude . "Good day Trudie and James I love the ty , it brings your eyes out", I say while walking at a fast pace to the elevator. This always makes Trudy a bit jealous and make her forget about other people's business and who am I to look past a good ty?. In seconds the elevator takes me to the top floor and after the first step I take onto the top floor I can see all the women gossiping already about Mr. Billionaire parading in my dad's office, and if that was not enough old Mrs., Peterson ,my father's PA was standing in the door drooling at the man we both seem to find hot, yes hot like butter melting hot ,so I clear my throat behind her and she almost let the pile of files fall on the floor ,but I steady her and she only smiles knowing I saw her undress him and man he looks so handsome I even need to control my brain, I mean really I am a teacher. He then turns around and I almost faint myself, it's him, the guy in the club, no really?. "Avah Grace you made it and just in time too, please meet Mr. Simmons and his son Jake Simmons your future husband", my father says and his father also smile and Jake well he is also smiling as if he somehow knew, but I am so stunned I can barely speak and it seems my father does not respond either. "Nice to meet you Grace", Jake extend his hand to me smiling, the bastered he knows me and now he clearly try to avoid me and make as if he did not kiss me. "Good day father , and Mr. Simmons, and Jake, glad I am not late, not everyone has PA's running after them daddy I actually work for a living". I say and I see maybe my comment was a bit to out there for my father, he on the other hand looks to me frowning, but the other two goes to sit as dad pours them all some coffee. "Excuse Grace it seems my only daughter lost her manners at school, or she is overworked, Grace will I pour you coffee ?", My dad says and for the first time I feel better ,so I smile and nod a yes ,but then this arrogant man looks to my father saying, "Won't she rather have tea? , like most teachers, seeing caffeine may make her more angry? "The i***t Jake say and then I think to myself, this is the man I will marry soon, what have I let myself in for?. "Well no Jake I don't do tea I like my coffee it helps me keep sane from irritating people and keeps me awake to see all the bullshit in this world!", Grace say and all three the men's mouths hang open from my outburst, damn these hormones of mine. "Grace please, rather sit before I give you a hiding !!", my father say loudly and I suddenly feel ashamed. "Sorry I had a bad day". "Understandable with kids these days Grace, and it seems my son is out to irritate every soul again today". Mr. Simmons say and I smile, he seems nice after all aside from his deceiving bold son. "Thank you sir, but I do apologize normally I am nice", But then Jake smirks looking to my father taking his cup of coffee from dad. "So can we sigh this contract I to have actual work to do I don't have time to play, Mr. Roland if that is ok, I believe we could have dinner later this week to celebrate better", Jake spats to us ,but more to my father as if I do not even matter. " Yes we could ,Are you sure? We could go over everything first?. "No sir I trust every detail was looked at by our layer too and by celebrating I believe my mother would love to meet Grace and her family to if you want to?". My father then smile. "No problem dinner at our home my wife will never say no to enlisted guests with her cousin ". "Good then let's sign and leave the dinner planes to the woman", Jake say , he is so arrogant it makes me wanna vomit ,but because my dad looks so mad at me already I just keep quiet. Then my father gets the marriage contract putting it infront of me giving me his pen to sign, I don't mind I trust my dad and so I swallow hard and sign to the marked spots , this contract was like a agreement to further a arranged marriage and a bigger merging of two companies but that takes a bit longer and hopefully I don't need to be a part of that. As I watch him sign I think to myself and wonder would this ever work ?. Jake (Pov) After signing my parts Grace left faster then the wind , she is so gorgeous, but firry and sassy , man that is how I like my woman and soon she will be my wife, all this just to have it all luckily I don't need to see her all day and maybe someday we could be friends, what have I signed up for, will she ever look me in the eye, yes I pretended infront of my father and hers ,but I will need to tell her why, hopefully this dinner will go better...
