When He Looked My Way

Just Say Yes

Hannah's POV

I had spend an entire weekend thinking about a man. I have been thinking about Damon and I have also been doing some digging about his past.

I must say that I was not impressed, not one bit. Damon is handsome as well as rich, even he knows that he can get any girl he wants.

Just not me. I cannot deal with something like this right now. Damon is too much of everything. I know that not everything about him on the internet it's true but I can't help to feel like he is just like all the men in the world.

I haven't made things any easier for him though, but truth be told I haven't been given him a chance with me. That's because I know how this will end. I have basically said No to everything he asked of me.

In the beginning it was just pure irritation, for some reason the sight of him used to rub me off the wrong way. I just wish he could understand that I'm not interested in his money.

I can't risk my heart like that. Damon doesn't seem like the guy who would want to commit, he just throws his cash around because he knows that most women are vain. He is all about fun and games something I'm not familiar with.

I cannot give my heart to a man like that. There's only one way to get rid of Damon. I think it's about time I followed some of Linda's advice. I think it's time for me to start saying yes to things.

If Mr right won't show up at my doorstep then I'll just have to find him on my own. We are the 21st century women who have a lot of advantages in their hands.I am allowed to go out and find a man I want. I decided then that I was going to join a dating website.

A lot of people have found love online, maybe I can also join in and perhaps find Mr right. If it doesn't work out, no one can say I haven't tried. Atleast I know that I would have given myself my chance. If I done try then I've already lost out on love.

The fact I wanted to join a dating website was a huge deal to me. I didn't even have a f*******: account let alone an i********: account.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against the work of social media platforms, I just think that a lot of people live fake lives online. In a sense that people are pretending to something they're not most of the time.

So I didn't want to have thousands and thousands of people I don't know pretending to be my friends. A private life is a happy one for me.

I get myself ready for work and jump into my car and for the first time whilst driving to work, my work is not on my mind. I'm thinking about dating instead.

I get in the office and as usual I'm the first one to arrive. I go to Vivian's office and take her diary. I organise it and then go back to my office.

It's a Monday morning and as always it's busy. No one is here yet so it's still a bit quiet. I work better this way. In complete and utter silence.

By the time Vivian gets in I have already had her coffee ready and I have gone through all the menuscripts that she also has to read through.

"Good morning sunshine." Vivian said as she sashayed to her office.

"Sunshine?" Someone was in a good mood. I have been here for three years and I have never seen her this happy. She has never called me "Sunshine" before. I guess there's really a first time for everything.

"Did you win the lottery or something?" I asked her with her smile.

"Oh Hannah! it's definitely something." She said as she made her way to her desk.

I take a closer look at her and I can see that she's different today. She looks happy and she even has a glow. It must be love. That's the only thing that can make a woman this happy. That and lots of s*x.

I then remembered that I was going to join a dating website.I have never been on any dating sites so I didn't even know which one to join. There was just so many to choose from. Tinder, Grinder, Love Match. Com. Billionaire match for com.

There was even a website for mail order brides. That would man looking to only date but marry women from different countries. I didn't know which one would be good for me.

Instead I chose the first one I found and created a profile on it. I filled in my information and left the rest to the internet to find me a perfect match.

At least on the app I got to what type of man I wanted, the qualities I want in my Mr Right. At least the website did a background check on the candidates so that should be comforting a bit.

I decided to work through lunch again and by the end of the day I was tired and ready for a bath. A nice long and hot bath.

I look at the time and it's already after 21:00 PM. I guess I'm the last one to leave the office again. I pack up my laptop and turn off the lights.

I walk out of my office and I notice that Vivian's office still has the lights on, it could mean one of two things, she's either working late or she forgot to switch off the lights, either ways I am going there.

I walked to her office and notice that the door is closed but not all the way, I went for the door and stoped in my tracks when I heard sounds coming from her office.

I would know what those sounds where in my sleep. It was moaning, I know shouldn't have but I just had to see who it was. I peaked in and it was Vivian.

There was no doubt about it even though I couldn't see her face because she was holding on to her table whilst a guy pounded her from the back. I saw his ass in all its glory.

This was not what I had been expecting. Though it proves my earlier theory that Vivian has a man in her life. A man she was keeping a secret.

A man that she was having s*x with on her office desk. I have to make a reminder to sanitize the furniture when I come back in the morning. I wouldn't to sit or touch any place where bodily fluids might have been.

I slowly turned back, I didn't want to disturb her whilst she gets her freak on. I leave the office and my way to parking garage with a grin on my face. I don't know who that guy was but he sure was my favourite person.

This is because for the first time in all the three years I have worked for Vivian, this was the first Monday that I saw her excited about reading romance menuscripts. She used to hate those.

"Hey Hannah." someone said in the back. They scared the hell out of me as I had no idea that anyone was there. It's way after work hours so I didn't think anyone could be in the parking garage.

"Oh Penelope! You scared me, don't sneak up on me like that again." I told her as I unlocked my car . "Get in..."

She got in and I noticed that she had a file in her hands. Penelope is a private investigator I hired two years ago. I had been looking for my mother.

I hired her to find my mother because she had disappeared one night after dropping off at my grandmother's place when I was ten. She said she would be back in the morning to get me and I believed her.

I hadn't seen her since. I have tried to look for her ok my own over the years but I haven't been successful. When I got the job here I was then able to hire a private investigator so that I could locate my mother . It has been a hard and long two years.

For the last two years we have been meeting once a month where Penelope would tell me the same thing she had been telling me for the last two years.

"I'm still looking for her." She had always called when she had something to tell me, tonight she was riding incognito. I look at her and she doesn't seem like herself.

I don't think I've ever seen her like this. She looked kind of spooked out even. I doubt that she had good news for me.

"Hannah your mother doesn't want to be found. She has disappeared and I can't find her anywhere. I've looked everywhere."

She took a deep breath and gave the file she had in her hands. If she couldn't find my mother what was the file for?

"Take this... I'm sorry I couldn't find your mother and at this point I doubt if anyone can, read this and maybe it would help you get some closure. I'm closing the investigation."

Well I always knew this day would come. I guess my mother has truly abundant me. She has made that crystal clear now.

"Hanna... Be careful okay. Your mother was involved with some of the most dangerous people to walk this earth." Penelope said as she opened the door to get out.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I was puzzled. She was being very cryptic right now. I had to know more.

"Hannah read the file and again be careful." This time she left.

I didn't know what to do in that instant except to take her serious. We have been meeting for two years and I have never seen her shaken up like this.

I look at the file and started to wonder if I really wanted to see the contents of it. I had various reasons for that. Different thoughts ran through my head.

Even though my mother left me when I was young, she was still my mother and I didn't want to taint the lovely memories I had with her. I still love her.

For the first ten years of my life my mother was my everything. She was my best friend. We did everything together. She would brain my hair and we would have slumber parties for just us two.

Thats the memories I wanted to keep and cherish about her but then again if my life is in danger then I might have no choice but to read the contents of the file no matter how bad it was.

I turn on the ignition and make my way to my apartment. When I get in I'm so tired that I didn't even notice the flowers I passed on my table. I was walking to my bedroom when I turned back and saw the flowers on my table.

I then noticed that they weren't only on my table but all over my apartment. There was flowers everywhere. I couldn't help but smile.

They where a welcomed sight after the emotional rollercoaster I went through earlier on at the parking lot. I notice a note on the table and I read it.

"I didn't know which flowers you liked"

D.H

There was no doubt in my mind what those initials stood for. Well I know I have read a little about him but never had I read that he bought the whole flowershop for any girl. I was impressed.

Looks like Damon Heights was on the right path to winning my heart. I never thought that flowers could make me this happy. Now I wish I had his numbers so that I could thank him.

I then went into my bathroom for a long bath and thinking about have some pizza after, I called in for Pizza.

When I got out of the bath my doorbell was ringing. I took my pizza and gave the delivery guy a tip. I don't have a lot of money but I try to give a good tip all the time.

I know how hard it can get to make ends meet. I still had student loans I was paying for. I ate my Pizza and went to bed. The file Penelope gave me had completely slipped my mind.

When I woke up the following day I was fresh and ready for work. Walking out of my bedroom I smiled at the sight of flowers on my desk.

I was about to walk out the door when I heard a ping on my phone. Which was weird considering that no one texted me. I looked at message and saw that it was from the dating website.

It would seem like I had a match. A few actually. Two of them had already texted me on the App. I opened my profile and looked through their pictures. Although they looked cute, they where not what I was looking for.

I took my purse and left for work where I was again the first one to arrive. I went into Vivian's office to fetch her diary but the memories of the night before came into my mind.

I went out and walked to the custodian's office where I came back with a sanitizing spray and sprayed all surfaces I thought they could have used.

The table was the first one. I had to do this because I didn't want to stress about germs and bodily fluids on the table.

I organized her diary and went in to make coffee. When I came back there was a gentleman who was sitting cormfy on my chair.

"Good morning Mr Heights, to what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked with a smile for the first time since we first me three years ago.

He stood up and walked towards me. He was looking at me and not breaking any eye contact when he did it.

"Well... I thought I could just pop in and say "Hi". " He said with a smile.

"Okay, now that you have said it, I suppose you will be on your way?" I asked him with a smile.

"No, I was hoping to steal you away for a few minutes. Can I take out you for breakfast?"

Okay since I had worked till late last night I had some time to kill. I remembered that I said I would start sayimy yes more so this might just be the perfect start.

"Okay Damon Heights, But it's not a date." Of course it was but I didn't want him to know that. I get my purse and I take my phone and car keys.

"Leave the purse and keys, You won't need them where we're going."

It was his idea to go out and as long as I had my phone, I should be fine. I took my phone and walked out of the office.

We walked down to the parking lot to find William on his phone. He had a big smile on his face. He got off the phone and opened the door for me.

He then turned around and went back the phone, he told the person on the phone that he was busy and that he would call her back later then hung up.

Looking at him with his back turned it then hit me that Vivian was with a man last night and somehow that back looks familiar.

I mean it would be better if I saw his butt because that was nice ass I saw last night. Right now I am about 60% sure that it was William in the office with Vivian.

I take a look at William and I can see that he too looks happy. Happier than he was at the club last week. He was on his phone the entire time in the club.

If my theory is right about Vivian and William, I can only wonder why they are both keeping thing hush hush. I can't help but think that Damon might be the reason for that.

This is because Vivian is his little sister and William is his personal bodyguard. I don't see anything wrong there but I'm just a woman, What do I know?

I just know that Vivian is happy and that's enough for me.
