"Are you sure you don't want me to be here? I can cancel my appointments for you," He stated
"No, no. I can manage. Go forth and get that deal," I smiled
"You sure?" He asked
"100%" I said "Now, off you go. Bye!" I shouted as I pushed him outside but he blocked his body by the door.
"Can't I get a good luck kiss from you?" He wiggled his brows
"If I give you a kiss, you'll go already?" I asked him.
"Yes, I promise to go and multiply," He said and I glared at him.
"Numbers. Multiply numbers," he added. I just smiled at him and pulled him down for a kiss.
I was just planning for a peck on the lips but he held my head, capturing my mouth and explored my taste.
I pulled away first and said, "You need to go. No need to deepen it," I smiled
"I'll be back tonight. Take care" he kissed my forehead and my heart did some somersaults.
I sighed and managed to smile at him before he disappeared. I went back inside to call someone.
"Hello? It's me, Janine"
"Janine! Oh my! I've been waiting for your call! I thought you won't call," she said. She's Zeya Conson, my brother's wife. We met again during the party and we did some catch up because it's been a long time since we've talked about random stuff.
"I'm very sorry if I haven't called you. I just became very busy," I said
"Wanna meet? We could meet in an ice cream parlor. I know this ice cream parlor uptown. They sell the best ice creams"
"I want to meet you but I can't leave my dog alone," I admitted
"A dog? You didn't mention anything about a dog,"
"He's a gift given to me last night. Adam gave him. He knows I love dogs," I smiled
"That's so sweet of him. How about we meet at your place? Or in the park?"
"The park sounds great. I think I need some fresh air. You don't mind meeting with me, do you?" I asked
"Of course not. So, what time are we gonna meet?" She asked energetically
"When's your free time?"
"Anytime!" She laughed "but I am not available today," she sighed
"Oh, it's okay. How about your son?" I asked
"Oh, Joshua has nannies to look after him. Or I could bring him if you want" she said
"Wouldn't it be a burden for you? He's still 4 months old. So fragile"
"I can bring a nanny. How 'bout we'll meet at the park tomorrow afternoon? Luckily, I'm still in the mansion. Is that good?"
"Very good. See you tomorrow!" I ended the call then called for him.
"Zwalter? Zwalter?"
"Zwalter?" Then, I heard a bark near the stairs. I quickly followed the sound and saw Zwalter looking up the stairs.
"You want to go up?" I asked, picking him up
"You're wish is my command!" I stroked his silky fur
