Love at First Night - Chapter 88

The girl who came to the office for a Job interview left around one hour later. She wasn’t much experienced and she looked for a job that could shape her and help her to increase her skills and practice in the sector. She wasn’t usually the type of person I would hire since she didn’t have much experience yet since that company would be mine I liked the idea to help fresh people to approach to job

When she left I immediately called Cameron to apologize for the intruding.

“hello.”

He answered the phone and his voice sent shivers along with my body awakening my senses.

“what can I do to make you forgive me?” I inquired as soon as he answered the phone.

“Oh… I have a few things in mind.” I could perceive his mischievous smile from afar. His sentence even made me think of a few things as well. Since when did I turn in such a naughty woman?

“Why don’t you come back here?” My feelings got the best of me and somehow I found the courage to say what I wanted.

The image of him now smirking was so clear in my mind that I could almost see it.

“Why don’t you come to my place instead? So we will be sure not to have intruding anymore.”

“Your place?” I said both surprised and shocked, I couldn’t believe he invited me to stay at his house, I mean it wasn’t like he never invited me to his houses so the rule not to visit each other’s houses was already broken but I remember how he mentioned he never let anyone get in his room.

A brief silence, maybe he realized what he just said

“Yes, Lily.” He said.

That would be the last rule we break then I guessed his rules wouldn’t apply anymore from now on.

A smile appeared on my lips, I couldn’t be happier to hear that. He was giving me a chance.

“You’d only been in my house the first night we met and I doubt you remember the address so I can come to get you at work tomorrow.”

“Sounds perfect.”

“Then see you tomorrow.”

As soon as I hung off the phone I let out a scream of joy and covered my mouth in joy.

I couldn’t believe it, I was even shaking for the happiness, I couldn’t wait to visit his house. I could barely remember his house the first night we met since I was way too drunk.

And I remembered he made me sleep in a guest’s room that day, if he was going to allow me to sleep with him then that meant that our relationship improved so much to make him believe in the future together.

Sleeping in the same bed may sound like a normal thing for couples but I knew Cameron wasn’t.

I just hope he wouldn’t change his mind.

As the hours passed by I cleaned and unboxed the furniture and adornments that Simon spent to the palace. I managed to learn how to mount desks and furniture and then ordered a few computers.

Then the designer’s squad came to let me have a look at the designs and let me pick which one I wanted.

I looked at the papers for a few instants and then finally picked the one more minimalistic, with a modern yet simple appearance and with positions separated by a thin wall. each position could have a personalized stand and the desks must have been made of wooden. I would also let decide my workers which chairs to have between three different chairs, The first one was more modern, similar to the classic gaming-professional chairs, the second one was more comfortable with a soft pillow for the back and the seat and then the third one which was the classic office chair.

Then I called some painters to have them repaint the walls because after Cameron’s statement I couldn’t stop noticing how the grey color was making the place look gloomy.

I set an appointment with them for the next day and then after cleaning again the place I finally left.

I drove back home and right after I entered I immediately told Joanna about Cameron.

“He said that?” She sounded even more shocked than I expected.

“So no more rules?” She asked.

“Not.” I shrugged relieved and proud.

She screamed with joy and embraced me so tightly that I wondered she may have broken my bones.

“I am glad you’re happy for me,” I said chuckling.

I didn’t imagine she was so prone to the idea of us dating, although I acknowledge she sympathized with Cameron.

“I am. I am happy because I can feel he is the right one. He makes you glow even more than the usual.”

I smiled, “thank you, Joanna.” I massaged her back and then departed from the hug.

“What about your boy?” I solicited her to tell me more since she never told me about how her date went. She was a very private girl and she never spoke about her personal things unless people asked her to.

“We will have a second date soon. He wants to meet you…” She whispered shyly, her eyes sparkled in a pleading gaze as if she begged me to meet him before or later.

“Have you…”

She shook her head not letting me even finish my sentence, she replied right after. “I haven’t kissed him. I tried but then got scared and retreated.”

A glimpse of what could have been a smile appeared on my lips but I disguised it before it could offend her or worst make her think I was making fun of her.

“It’s fine, Joanna. You will gain confidence and feel more comfortable with him as you spend time together. You just need a bit of patience.” I reassured her so she smiled before we walked to the kitchen.

She had already made dinner for me so we only had to reheat the food.

“Do you think maybe one day we will be able to have a double-date? If Cameron allows it, I would love to have you by my side during a date.” She smiled still shyly. Even if we had been friends for so long we never had double dates.

“Maybe we will. I am sure with time Cameron will also grow more confident.”

I took a few mouthfuls of the rice, and then I continued, “I shall tell him before or later that I broke one of his rules.” I sighed at the thought, if he forgave me for tripping that woman then he must forgive me for this too….
