Chauffeur:

Laura's pov.

It seemed that what my friends said last night got into my head...you know about Dario being handsome and muscular.Don't mind me by the way.

I mean...I was expecting him to come...Nora informed me already but the moment he got in I acted confused. Those dark eyes for sure were messing up my mind.

I guess I also need to clear something with you guys.

I didn't imagine that touch.It happened and for a moment i wished to think that it was unintentional. It was not. Our eyes literally held for less than five seconds but that was enough for me to see the emotions those dark eyes held.

That moment felt so surreal.

I don't want to think about him now.I'm still mourning my husband.I should not be thinking about another man other than my husband.

Derrick was fine.The doctor has told me to monitor him keenly and to make sure he applied the cream two times daily for the rashes to go away. I guessed there was nothing I was doing in the hospital then.

However,

I was not sure about where to go next.I was needed at the office, i needed to talk to Liz and also my kids needed me.That's how hard my life was.

I decided to ask Thomas to stay with them for a while.

Now i have to decide about Liz and work.

Or maybe there was no reason to decide at all. I could ask Liz to come over to the office whenever she was free.

I texted her before leaving for the office.

Just as i sat down, i got a notification about Liz's reply.

'Can i pass if it's not urgent.'

That was not Liz-like. I really wanted to see her and tell her that it was not her fault but i understood she needed time.I decided to wrap up things at the office first then look for her later.It was already afternoon...only a few more hours.

I had one more meeting scheduled that afternoon and some document signing and review.I just realized that Ray's was not that easy.

As i was leaving the office later that evening, I saw him...dark eyes.For a moment i thought of avoiding him but i decided otherwise.There was no reason to avoid him anyway.

When i reach the parking lot,I realized that I had sent Thomas home with the kids.

Now what?

I decided to text Thomas to ask someone else to come pick me up.

But before i texted,

"Stranded?"

He approached me.I gave him a confused look.

By the way,why was i always confused in front of him?I was literally acting like a smitten teenager.

"I mean...i didn't see you driver nor your car here so i asked.Maybe i could give you a lift."

He explained.

I accepted.Afterall the Anderson's mansion was toward the same route as my house.

The journey home was very silent.But the silence was peaceful.It was like we didn't need to say anything but still enjoy each others company .

I really liked it.

Then allover sudden,

"Shit!" I cursed.

He seemed amused.

"You know, i just remembered i was meeting a friend.She's kinda feeling low so i need to see her.I'll just take a taxi from here.Thanks for the ride."I explained.

"I can drive you there."

He said as he handed over his phone to me.

"What?"

Was i confused again?

"Directions."

So that's what he wanted.For a moment i thought...just ignore me by the way.

The car became silent again for a few minutes.

I found myself staring at him. He was smiling.

"What's funny?"

I asked curiously.He stared at me gently for quite sometimes before answering with, " I never thought you were the cursing type, " then he looked away.

That stare did things to my heart and my stomach or maybe every part of my body.

Why was my heart beating fast?

I needed to distract him before he realized that something was off with me.

"What makes you think that?"

He gazed at me for some seconds again before looking at the roads again.He was silent for some moments before he responded.

"You are this sweet person who's very pure and kind.Definitely not a cursing type."

What the hell?

I didn't know what to comment so i just replied with, "I curse a lot by the way."

He looked at me and chuckled softly.

"I like your daughter."

What the hell!

He was just surprising me with his random comments.I looked at him asking for clarification.Why did he look away?

Was he nervous? No maybe i imagined that.

"She is this tiny girl with an angelic face but a devil inside."He explained.

He was very keen i must say.

"True.That girl is a tiny devil.If she hates you, she'll give you her brightest smile and show you her sweetest side. Her devil side is only for those she loves.It's confusing i know.She is very hard to understand."

I must have been lost in my own thoughts after that until i heard him say,

"We're here."

I gave him an appreciative look.

"I'll be doing something in the neighborhood so i guess i can be your chauffeur again.I don't really mind."

That was doable.

I guessed i wouldn't need to disturb Thomas again.
