Jingle Belle's

December 14th

I smoothen down my jumper-dress before a nervous smile appears on my face, I push the big glass doors in-front of me. I stand in awe at the marble lobby surrounding me, holy fuck this has got to be one of the most beautiful venues I've ever been in and this is just the entrance.

I clutch the zip-lock bag of cookies in my hand tightly as I walk towards the reception desk, 'Hello!'

The young blonde eyes me up and down with distaste, 'Can I help you?'

'You can actually, do you know what floor Colton Davis's office is on?'

'And you are?'

'I-I'm his daughters, mom, the baby mama, the egg to his sperm, the-'

She cuts me off, 'Please can you stop saying things?'

I nod slowly, 'Yeah sorry, I kind of ramble when I get nervous.'

'If you are Belle's mom, how come I've never seen you here before?'

'I just...get really busy with work that's all.'

She raises her perfectly shaped eyebrow, 'Are you two back together?'

My eyes widen massively, 'God, no.'

'Because I heard that he's recently single, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's why you are sniffing around. He is extremely handsome, I don't know why you let him go because trust me, if I could grab onto him, I'd hold on so tight.'

I roll my eyes, 'Can you please just give me the floor?'

'It's number seven.'

'Thanks!'

'Well done for losing the baby weight by the way!' The blonde calls out as I begin to walk to the elevator.

I refrain from flipping her my middle-finger, instead I just ignore her and step inside the glass box in-front of me. I press on number seven as I feel butterflies dance around my stomach aggressively.

Maybe, showing up at his work unannounced is bad idea.

Okay, the more that I'm thinking about it, the more sure I am of the horrible mistake that I've made.

He's going to murder me.

I let out a shaky breath as  I step onto the floor, I glance around the hallway before deciding to take a left. I probably should have asked for directions but then again where's the sense of adventure if I did that?

My heart stops when I notice a plaque outside of a room that says, 'Colton Davis.'

Fuck.

Maybe, I should just go home.

No, come on Poppy you can do this because you aren't doing this for yourself, you're doing it for Belle.

Shit.

I hesitantly knock on his office door, my stomach drop when I hear the words, 'Come in.'

Well, life it was nice while it lasted.

I bite down on my bottom lip before swinging the door open and setting inside, 'Hello.'

Cole's eyes widen massively as he sits up straight in his chair, 'What the fuck are you doing here?'

'I was just in the neighbourhood and I thought that I would say hi.'

'Well you've said hi, so just leave.'

'O-Okay, maybe I wanted to say more than just hi. How is my old buddy doing?'

He gives me a look, 'I'm not your buddy.'
