DATING DREY {I}

(Lexi's office) 10:00pm

Lexi's POV:

Oh God, I'm so tired. I had a lot to do today.

I checked my time. Damn, I must have got carried away in the files that I didn't know time had flew fast. I have to go home now, I can't spend the night here.

At that time My stomach grumbled. I haven't even taken lunch or should I say, dinner.

I walked to my car and shouted at the gateman to open the gate.

" Sorry madam, I thought you will spend the night in the office"

" Just open the gate,or you need a slap to reset your brain?"

" No-no ma"

He opened the gate and I drove home.

Home,here I am. It's so good to be home. I made noodles for dinner and freshened up. Well, I like making my own food so I didn't get any maid.

Now, it's time to go to bed. It's been a hell of a day. I need a good night's rest. I have a meeting to attend by 10:00am. I didn't forget to set the alarm before going to bed.

NEXT DAY

I woke up from this creeping nightmare. It's so scary. Thank God it's not real

I checked the time and it says 8:45am. I made my coffee. Brushed my teeth and took salads for breakfast. I need to get to office before 10:00am. I can't afford to lose this client, he's a big shot

SLAYERS

I just closed the deal with Mr. Kyle. I'm so glad. I'm sure this deal is gonna fetch us a lot of money.

Grrrn grrrn grrrn

"Hello, I'm Alexandria,who am I speaking with?"

" Hey,Ann. It's Drey"

" Oh,Drey. Thanks for the other day"

" Don't mention, the pleasure is all mine"

I scoffed at the way he said it.

" Are you free for lunch?"

" Just a moment... I think I'll be free, what's up?"

" I'd like to take you out for lunch, my treat"

What's up with this guy? It's barely been a week since that day. I hope it's not what I'm thinking.

" Are you there?"

" Uhh, yeah, ok"

I'll come pick you up,is that ok by you?"

"" Yeah, bye, gotta go"

" Bye,see you later"

I cut the call, I don't like this feeling,why the hell did I say yes? . What will my staff think when they see a guy picking me up? Damn my staff, it's not like anything is between us.

I still have some files to attend to by the way. I should get on with it.

SOME HOURS LATER

Knock! knock!! knock!!!

"Who's that?"

It's me ma,Luci"

" What is it?"

" Ma, you have a visitor "

" Who's the person?"

"He said he's Drey "

" Let him in"

I unconsciously smiled. Gosh, what's this feeling? I hate it.

" Hi pretty "

" Hey "

How's your day going?"

" Great." Apart from the part where you spoilt it. I added in my mind. " I think we are good to go" I said.

" Yeah sure"

We took his car to a popular restaurant in town. The waiter just came to take our orders.

" I'll take roasted chicken and a bottle of baron Romero" he ordered his

" Ice cream, banana flavored and fruit salad"

" Looks like our babe doesn't want to take heavy food"

I forced a small smile.

Can he be less annoying? I thought

There's this awkward silence. An uncomfortable one.

I parted my lips to break the silence but he was faster than me.

" I think I like you. "I heard him say.

Oh no, I must have heard him wrong. How can he like me when we don't even know each other. No, I really must have heard him wrong so I see decided to behave like I didn't hear that.

" Aren't you supposed to say anything?"

" And what was I supposed you say. I like you too? That's absurd"

He smiled. It's not funny idiot, I said in my mind.

" It's not funny,is it?" I finally blurted out when I couldn't hold it anymore

" You know, I've been noticing you for quite some time now" he replied instead.

I blushed, surprising even myself

"Quite some time? Does that mean you've been stalking me?? Uhh"

I could see that mischievous smile on his face. He looks hot when he smile. I'll give him that.

" Who wouldn't know the hottest CEO in town?"

That struck me hard, hottest?. I really don't know how to reply to that. Thank Goodness, the waiter is here to give our orders,at least I could take a break.

" I'll like to use the restroom " I said slowly.

"Ok"

Ugh, thank God, I don't need to get fresh air. I never knew staying so close to him could be so suffocating.

Drey's POV:

Wow, this girl is just so beautiful, I can't wait. She's even more beautiful than the papers.

Looks like she's done with her supposed restroom break. I knew that was just an excuse to take a break from me.

" Welcome back"

" Yeah"

I flashed her a seductive smile.

" I said I like you and I want us to be a thing"

" That's out of the blue. Absurd,if you ask me"

I expected that so I wasn't surprised and I can see she's nervous

" I know but I just can't help it. I love you"

" W-wh-what! Love, how?"

She looks funny when saying that but I don't dare laugh.

"I really do love you. I mean, you're so sexy and hot,who wouldn't love you " She blushed real hard at that.

That's a second.

" Will you be my girlfriend...plsss?"

" Why? I don't even know you " I could see she's wavering.

" Just think about it and get back to me "

" Ok, I will "

Ok babe, let's eat. You don't want your ice cream to melt" I smiled at her.

" Yeah, let's eat "

We ate our meal silently. Then I went to drop her off at the office.

" Thanks for the lunch Drey "

" Don't mention, it's my pleasure taking you out "

" Ok, I gotta go "

I should know when next I could see her, I thought.

" So, when next am I seeing your beautiful face?"

" Uhh. I don't know. We'll talk on phone " she replied.

" And, think about my proposal "

" I'll think about it. Bye, I have work to do "

" Ok, bye. Can I at least get a hug?"

She hesitated for a moment before she allowed me hug her.

I grinned as I watched her go into the building.

SOME DAYS LATER

Grrrn grrrn

Ah,oh God. Who the hell is that. Can't I sleep peacefully again? I grumbled as I picked up the call.

Hell, it's Ann. I have to tune down my voice so I won't sound grumpy.

" Hello babe"

" Hi Drey, how's your day?" I had a awful day, I thought

"Fine and yours" I replied instead.

" I've had a very hectic day"

" Oh, sorry about that"

" I was thinking that we should meet, when are you chanced?"

This is not good, I don't want to leave my house again today. Yes, she can come over, I grinned.

" What about dinner at my house, I can cook you know?" I could picture her hesitating. Then came the answer I hoped for.

" Ok, text me the time and address"

" Ok then,see you soon"

" Bye"

Now I have work to do again. Everywhere is just jumbled up. I'll have to arrange. What should I cook? Hmmm.... Oh yeah. I'll make Chinese rice with chicken laps in curry sauce and vegetable salad.

That settled. I should arrange my room too, just in case. I don't really fancy surprises.

HOURS LATER

All done, now let me freshen up. I got into the bathtub even before it warmed. I washed my self and came out, I feel refreshed

Grrrn grrrn

I heard the door bell ring. It must be Ann. Am not even dressed yet. I picked up a shirt and baggy trousers and dressed quickly. I went to answer the door.

" Wow, you look beautiful " I compliment her.

In truth,' beautiful ' cannot describe how she look, she's just perfect.

" Thank you, you don't look bad yourself" of course, I don't look bad in baggy pants

" Come on in"

She came and I ushered her to sit.

" The food is ready, I just need to set the table, hope you don't mind?"

" Nah, I can help with that"

" Oh, that's great then, let's go"

I led her into the kitchen. I arranged the meals pot while she took them to the dinning table "

When the table was set, I led her to the dinning and pulled out a chair for her. I served her before sitting down myself.

" Thanks for been such a gentleman "

" It's my pleasure "

She smiled. We ate in silence for some time before she broke the silence spell.

" You're a good cook by the way "

Thanks. So, what's up. I know you didn't come here just to hang out "

" I just came to hang out, anything wrong with that?"

" No, nothing. Am just surprised...erm what is your response to what I asked you the other day?"

I asked silently, scared of the answer I'm gonna get.

" What was the question again?"

This girl is really playing me, she wants me to ask again, no P.

" Will you be my girlfriend?"she was silent for a while,then she replies.

" Yes, but on a condition. I'll be your girlfriend on one condition "
