Chapter 6
- Loud laughter erupted from the last booth in Dale's diner, Any stranger would wonder how much enjoyment the couple seemed to be having.
- "Gosh how do you even remember that?" Rachel said between fits of laughter. "Like why would i forget that epic story" williams retorted drinking the cofee they had already ordered. They had been reminiscing on their school days, Williams had been retelling the story of how Rachel had gotten drunk and propositioned a rich older name they met at the bar that day, if not for Williams quick thinking she probably would have been charged with sexual harassment. " I still can't believed I actually did that to think that he wasn't even hot" Rachel moaned covering her face still red. "It's alright baby girl.so how has it been going?" Williams asked
- "Well let's see ..i came back from korea last week only to realize that i've misses my mom's cooking dearly. I mean how have i been surviving without her in my life. Other than that nothing much oh and celine came to see me infact she's at my house right now.should i call her?" Rachel rushed albeit excitedly. you tell me what you've been up to lately since I haven't seen you in like forever ".
- One of the things he enjoyed about Rachel I'd the way she would get excited and talk animatedly about the most inconspicuous things. She had always been uncomfortable when she was telling others her problem though which had always infuriated williams somewhat and that was the reason why she only had like two friends and that didn't really count Williams thought " If that's what you want" Williams relinquished "uhm let me see something to say I took spanish classes so I speak the language fluently and I pursued my business career" he finished " Wow say something in spanish pretty please" begged Rachel she really loved the language but never had time to speak it "las camameras aqui todas calientes " williams smirking at the waitress who turned red at what he said.
- "You know what don't want to know the meaning of what you just said" Rachel quipped.They both laughed.
- This was why he loved the language, it had a flair with the ladies. Ever since he started inputing it in his conversations he didn't even need to use pick up lines to get the girl he was talking to, like now he was willing to bet she didn't even know the meaning of what he said "wait what does that mean?" Rachel asked still loopy at the spanish he just spoke "guess". "you know I hate guessing, just tell me" Rachel pleaded almost whining. "Anyways who's the lucky girl?" She teased "what are you saying you are my lucky girl" "you're crazy" Rachel laughed "since you don't want me to live through you it's all good.
- Oh shoot! It's already 6pm how did it get so late…how time flies when you're having fun. I need to go" standing up they hugged each other a few tears slipping "we need to do this again soon yeah? Williams nodded smiling at her.
- Stepping out from the diner, williams hailed a cab for Rachel, paid the driver and held her door open for her "see you soon baby girl. I had so much fun today and don't worry about the old geezer I got you" williams waved at her to which she waved back smiling "Byee!" Rachel shouted bringing her head inside from where she had stuck it out to see williams better. Smiling the driver drove off thinking to himself what a lovely couple they made.
- "I needed that" unbuttoned the black jacket she wore Rachel sat on Celine hugging her tightly "Hey b, are you back" Celine asked, her voice still groggy from sleep. "Did you have a good time?" "I had a great time"rachel corrected bouncing to her side of the bed and there'spizza and beer in the mini freezer, that's for dinner"
- Rachel leaned forward to get some chips from her freezer. "Wait didn't I tell you? Sorry b. I won't be sleeping here I didn't plan on it and my mom's expecting me, i would sleepover soon though". Rachel felt like sulking she had thought Celine would sleepover and they would stuff their faces with pizza and drink beers till they drop, she would probably be hungover in the morning but it would have been so worth it at least I will go fir my interview 100% sober she muttered "wait what were you planning missus?" Celine blurted. "I was thinking it was going to be a typical girl's night "answered Rachel "now you're making me feel bad nevermind we would still get to do all that and more" Celine stated already standing up" escorted me out, will ya?"
- Turning her back on Celine, Rachel shouted 'No, I won't…you're abandoning mee"
- "No I'm not babes, and you know it" Celine stated chuckling at her friend's antics. Celine dragged Rachel from the bed
- "Okay okay I'm awake, let's go" Rachel rushed pulling on her sweatshirt.They both walked downstairs where Rachel told her driver to take Celine home.
- "Hey mom, welcome… how was work?" Looking at her mom Rachel saw how tired she looked, there were even dark circles under her eyes. Rachel loved her father but she didn't want to get married not to talk of to a man she didn't even know.
- "I'm okay baby girl, how is williams?" Madeline asked touching Rachel's shoulder. "He's fine and he says hi" Rachel replied putting the pizza in the oven.
- Stretching out on her queen-size bed, Rachel shut off her alarm which showed 6am, muttering a short prayer to thank God for last night and praying for the interview she had later that day. She took her bath and dressed in the clothes she had already laid out last night; A chrome printed skirt which hit her on her knees paired with a white chiffon blouse under her favourite black blazer. On her feet, she wore black stilettos which she adored because they were comfy and classy, for her makeup, she went for minimal touch ups finishing the look off with a nude lipstick.
- Crosschecking her bag for her documents, Rachel went downstairs to the dining room in high spirits "Good morning mom" she quipped pecking her mom on both cheeks after which she took a seat at the table.
- "Morning darling, I must say you look stunningly beautiful like a princess - no - no like a queen about to take her crown" madeline praised setting out some bagels and two cups of coffee on the table and sitting down.
- Rachel blushed. Her mom sure had a way with words, it was one of the numerous reasons she loved her she always expressed herself so well with words. "Thanks momma, I will be sure to come home with my crown" teased Rachel.
- "Be quick, eat up so you can be on time"
- "Mom it's still after 7 and i'm supposed to report by 8. Relax you're making me nervous" teased Rachel
- "Nervous, oh he'll no you can't be. You're going to do great I know you will"
- Few minutes later rachel is in a taxi on her way to Dante's company, she chuckled quietly remembering how her mother had fussed on her clothes before hurrying her and literally stopping a taxi for her, Gosh 'I love my mom' Rachel thought.
- "Driver, please do you know Dante enterprises questioned Rachel. "I do" answered the driver.
- "That's good…that's my destination " Rachel informed smiling at the kind-hearted old driver who didn't even get angry at her mother when the woman asked for his license, once she asked her mom why she always did that to which she gave her a vague response saying that the world is a bad place. Rachel had dropped it seeing no harm in her overprotectiveness.
- "Miss, I think your mother loves you so much and you're a lucky young woman because of that"
- "I sure am" Rachel quipped agreeing with the old guy.
- The driver stopped In front of a beautiful, well designed building "This is your stop miss"
- "Oh thank you" Rachel told the driver who had rushed out to open the door for her. Tipping the driver handsomely she walked confidently into the building "Good morning ma'am…I'm Rachel and I'm here to see Mr. Leo dante" smiling at the middle-aged receptionist .
- "Okay just take the elevator by your right and you would see a black, conspicuous door that's Mr. Dante's office"
- "Thanks a lot" Rachel offered
- Rachel couldn't help but admire the architectural designs of this place, the architecture sure did an awesome job she thought. Walking towards the elevator, she stepped in only to see no other than Leo who smirked at her while typing in his phone.
- He looked so hot today though with his long, muscular legs encased in suit pants which molded to his frame like they were tailored for him. His suit fit on his broad shoulders I. Such a way that she couldn't take her eyes off them.
- The man was not only hot but gorgeous too and the annoying thing about it was that he knew it. His long jet black hair curling at it's ends contrasted almost lewdly with his warm green eyes that always seemed to shine just a little bit when he spoke.
