Who is it going to be

Chapter eleven

    We spent many more days like this, from dinner dates to evening outings, morning cuddling and sex in the dark. So easily I fell for him, it was now safe to say I was in love with Mr Daniels.
    " so I talked to a couple friends of mine about you...." Mr Daniels said while playing with my hair whilst my head was on his laps on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
    " what do you mean" I asked interrupting
    " if you'd let me finish.... One of them who runs a software design company said they had an opening for a computer scientist and I was hoping you'll apply" he said finishing
    "Seriously...." I said a bit surprised. I was so comfortable with my job and being around Mr Daniels that I didn't think of building a career.
    "Yeah.... You just have to apply and the job will most likely be yours" he said smiling at me as he played more with my hair
    " and how are you so sure" I asked already knowing the answer; strings where pulled.
    " I did pull some strings but I never said anything that wasn't true about you and you are more qualified than anyone else"
    I got up with a smile on my face as I kissed him and stared at him a little while.
   

   The job was definitely mine, I settled into my new job as a software developer with joy in my heart not until I found something I was never looking for
    " Sofia carter" a familiar voice called
    I cringed fearing to turn back, I summoned courage and slowly did.
    " Gabriel Bryson, it's nice to see you again" I said, knowing it wasn't really nice to see him.
    " yeah it's been quite a while" he said with a smile on his face
    " five months to be precise.... So what are you doing here? Wait, don't tell me you work here now ?" I asked hoping it wasn't true,
    " No, I don't work here. See the company I work for is doing a partnership with yours and I'm the legal representative" I heard this with relief
   " I'm glad you finally got off the bosses leach" he continued
    " What do you mean by that?" I asked knowing too well what he meant.
    " Nevermind that, how about lunch so we could catch up" he said, dismissing my question.
     " yeah sure" I said and ended the conversation there .
 

    " so.... You left out of the blue, care to explain" I gestured for him to begin.
    " mmm.... I had something important to do" he replied not looking me in the eye, clearly he was lying
    " you had something to do really?....something so important that you had to disappear, not take any of my calls and ignore my messages, that must be one hell of an important thing"
    "Yeah exactly, so tell me what have you been up to" he asked quickly avoiding the topic
    " oh nothing much, you?"
    "Me.... Nothing much"
    " cool" I replied not having anything more to say to him
     Gabriel was an entirely different person now, the way he spoke annoyed me but I was still drawn to him just a little.
    He leaned in on me from his side of the table with his elbows to support him, I leaned back into my chair to give him a little more distance.
    " I was wondering if we could pick up where we left" he said as he held my hands on the table
    I shakes his hands of mine and got up to live,
    "Not a chance" I said as I walked away.
