Chapter 28
Valerian had arrived at Je Taime hoping to see Hailey, he had missed her immensely. He scanned the area, but she wasn't there nor was she watering. "Is outside fine, Valerian?"
"Yes." he replied distantly. When they were led outside he didn't expect to see Hailey with another guy for fucks sake and on top of that she had acted as if she hadn't seen him.
"Isn't that Hailey?" as Colhane asked him. He saw her eyes flicker a bit which meant she had maybe heard them, and he hoped she did, so she could be uncomfortable, but she wasn't she was laughing with him so much.
He nearly lost it when he saw him feeding her the cake. Then after a whole hour of torture he finally left, she came back, and he watched her, she looked so beautiful. Then Roland called her over, and he wondered what he wanted.
He asked for dessert for all of us, when he started to insinuate that she was whore, his blood was boiling. He couldn't take it anymore, he didn't know what had gotten into him. Valerian got up and he called the whole deal off.
"I will take care of the bill." as Colhane also stood up.
"Okay." as he grabbed Hailey's hand and dragged her out of there. He got curious stares, but nobody dared to block his way.
When they got outside he let go of her and he turned to her "who the fuck was that you had dinner with Hailey?"
"That's none of your business Sir!" as she looked to the side and she didn't seem like she intended on answering his question.
"So, you are going to act like we never had sex?"
He saw her face look shocked "lower your voice, people will hear us."
"Now I get a reaction from, why are you being so distant?"
"I'm not, I'm just your employee."
"Bullshit Hailey, that's not what you were saying when you were moaning my name in France was it now?"
"Fine, so what? We had sex, what do you want from me now? To admit it?"
"No Hailey, what I want is to know you more. It wasn't just about sex for me."
"Well for me it was Sir."
"Stop it Hailey! You think I didn't know that was your first time?"
"So what if you were my first? There is a lot more to come from here."
Valerian doesn't know what comes over him, but he just grabs her, and kisses her with all the pent-up passion that has been built up in him for a long time. He felt her struggle, but he doesn't let her go, He feels her heart beating against his.
When he finally lets her go, he receives a slap, and just stares down at her. "You can't just kiss me when you feel like it, asshole!"
"Why couldn't you speak like that back then?"
"Because he is a customer!"
"So, you would let him do that to you?"
"I was handling it just fine before you swooped in Sir."
He rakes his hands through his hair, "are you dating him?"
"I told you that it's none.."
"I'm not in the fucking mood right now! It's a yes or no answer, simple as that."
"Not yet." as she replied.
"What does that even mean?"
"He hasn't asked me out yet Sir." as she says sweetly.
"So, you are really considering him as an option Hailey?"
"Yes."
"Where did you even meet him?"
"When we went to Maldives."
Then it all rings a bell. He was the guy she had met there, who was keeping her company. "How did he get hold of you?"
"I'm not sure, I guess he has his ways, but I did tell him which company I worked for, so I guess through that."
"So, you wanted him since then?"
"Nope, back then he was really just my friend even now, but I don't know where it might lead."
"Did I do something wrong to you Hailey?"
"No Sir. Why?"
"Wow you are so good at acting oblivious."
"I do learn from the best, don't I?"
"You are lucky we are not alone, or else I would have bent you over already."
She just blinked a couple of times and she didn't say anything.
"Should I drop you off at home?"
"No thanks Matt will do that for me."
He was about to protest when Colhane came outside, he looked at both of us. "I will wait in the car."
"Okay." He responded.
"Bye Hailey, take care of yourself."
"Bye Colhane." as she waved at him.
She looked up at him, "is there anything else you would like to say Sir?"
"This discussion is far from over Hailey." as he walked away.
