Chapter 7 Brian

It's been a week since I went back to the coffee place, and a week since i've given my number to her friend. I hate that I haven't heard from. I thought if I give her the space she would text me, but obviously that didn't go as planned. I decide to head out, I know I have a meeting in two hours but I should be back by then. Driving through town I feel more anxious as I get close. Hoping I don't get rejected again, I mean I didn't do anything wrong, I find her attractive and she is so shy, I am definitely not used to that.

Pulling up to the coffee house, I take a deep breath and walk to the door. Maybe I should've given her more time. Before I can further talk myself out of it I walk up to the counter. I see that it's Bianca taking orders today. Perfect, I think to myself and smile.

"Welcome to Mary's Coffee House, what can I get you today?" Her voice trails off ones she looks up at me. Seeing her small blush come across her cheeks is the cutest thing ever. I think I am addicted to it. If i stare any longer I am really going to scare her away.

I clear my throat, "Can I get a large black coffee please?" I smile a little hopefully ease her mind. She doesn't bring anything up about the phone number and neither do I. She nods and I pay. While waiting for it to be made, I stare at her as she is making the coffee. I can still see the small blush on her cheeks.

I get interrupted from my staring when my phone rings. Rolling my eyes I grab it out of my pocket, "What?" I say annoyed, I was enjoying watching her work.

"I....I'm sorry sir, but you have a meeting in 15 minutes with Mr. Landry." Of course it had to be my secretary. I nod my head and realize that he can't see me. I grunt and hang up.

"Here is your coffee Brian." She whispered, standing in front of me. She sent me a small smile and walked away from me. I smiled and said thank you. I left the coffee shop and headed back to work. I didn't want to do this meeting. I hated the guy, he was a sleez bag and now I have to deal with him. I just want his damn company. I rolled my eyes and drove away. I was hoping to get to know her but never mind. Rolling my eyes at my thoughts, I turn my music on and drive to the office. I want this meeting over with and fast.

Pulling up to the building, I park and get out to head to the board room. I hope Justine has everything set up and ready to go. Exiting the elevator he is standing there with the folder in his hand.

"Here you go sir, he should be here in about 5 minutes." I nod my head at him and head to my office to grab my laptop. I couldn't stop thinking about Bianca, she is so beautiful, I didn't want to stop watching her take orders and make the coffee. I know I seem like a stalker but she is something else. And I can tell she is hiding something. I want to know what that something is. I shake my head of my thoughts and head to the meeting room.

Mr. Landry is already seated when I enter the room, he stands up to shake my hand. I sit at the head of the table and put my laptop down. "Let's get started, I have a company to run."

"Yes, of course. I want to work with your company and I want 25% of the profits." He watches me closely, thinking he can get a read on me. Hell fucking no, I am not giving him that much, if he really needs me then he will agree to what I offer. I am not doing this shit today.

I look at him and pretend that I am thinking about it, I can see the smile that is wanting to break on his face. This dick thinks that I will agree. "No." I say and look down at my laptop, "You are coming to me for help, if I am going to help you and you want to keep your company I suggest that you think of something else." He looks surprised at me. "I will only do it if you agree to 10% nothing more nothing less." I say and look at him. "I will give you until the end of the week, that gives you 3 days." I stand up and walk out of the conference room. I know he will agree, he needs me more then I need him.

Walking back to my office, I set my stuff down and get to work on the other proposals and numbers that have come through to me. I need to stop getting distracted and get this shit done. I buckle down and start working, hoping I can get off early and see if she is working late or not.
