Meant To Be

Chapter 26- lost in thoughts

I zoom out of the meeting long enough that I don't think I heard what was been discussed at the meeting. All I could think about was the kiss I shared with Ella the other day. How I wanted to claim her lips again. She is sitting beside me and I can't help my eyes wandering to her now and then.

With her formal wear, she looks professional and smart but I wanted to see the lady beneath her office wear. I can't take my eyes away from her angelic face. Her hazel eyes shine as she writes on her notepad. Her face has little to no make-up, her small pointed nose raises up and down as she bites on her plump rosy lips. Damn! It looks so kissable.

My mind took a drive to three days ago in my office. "I'm sorry, you know, for coming in here unnoticed." She had said nervously. I place a finger on her lips whiles shaking my head to silence her from apologizing. She has not done anything, has she? When I'm mad I don't like people around, it just makes me angrier but for some reason, I didn't. I calmed down. I didn't know whether it was her presence or the fact that I hurt her but I did calm down.

When my finger came into contact with her lips I felt a strange feeling running through me. It felt strange but in a good way. I pulled her closer. Her heart throbbed hard that I could hear it. It was as loud as mine which I kept on check to make sure she did not have to hear it." I want you." I said the only thing my brain could process and without waiting for a response I press my lips on hers. Her lips were soft like I remembered. She kissed back and I grinned internally. That is the power of my kiss.

Irresistible!

"This is wrong, s. Sir " she stuttered.

What? Is she kidding me or herself? How is this wrong? I wanted her and there was nothing wrong with that because I could tell she wanted me too from her heavy heartbeats and with that thought in mind I joined our lips again. I kissed her harder this time earning a soft moan from her.

"Mr. Grey, do you agree with Mr. Mill?' Blake's question snapped me back to reality. I blinked trying to recall what was happening in my surrounding before I zoomed out.

Yeah, I was at a meeting and we were discussing the new deal, a hotel which we were currently meeting with a potential buyer. We are co- CEO meaning whatever Jack might have said I would have said the same or had similar thoughts. " yes I do," I said making sure to sound confident and professional so that I'd not give away the fact that I wasn't paying attention the whole time we sat there.

" Okay, then we hope to hear from you soon." Mr. Albert finalized. We shake hands and said our goodbyes.

Ella was seeing Mr. Bill, our potential buyer, off to his car on his request. And I didn't see any reason to not allow her to, anything to land us that deal.

Till I saw the way they hugged.

"Hey, you look ready to murder..." Jack trailed following my glares to Ella and Mr. Bill.

"I don't" I denied.

"If looks could kill, Mr. Bill would be dead by now" you were stealing glares at him back at the meeting just like you are doing now." He added pointing a finger in the direction of them. Ella was laughing at something he said, then they became quite looking somewhat serious. The smile on Ella's face fade away and was replaced with an expression I could not decipher. I start towards them but was interrupted by Jack.

"Ash, where are you going. Your car is this way." He gestured in the opposite direction. Since I can't tell him where I was going, I turned the other way. not without giving Ella and Mr. Bill another glare.

" what is happening between you two." He said pointing towards Ella.

Man! And I thought he wasn't observant. That is my friend Jack. he knows how to play it cool whenever he wants to until he feels like talking about it.

I thought against ignoring him or asking what he meant, and when with"nothing " I said shrugging my shoulder.

"It doesn't look like that to me." He press

"Why not" I argued before realization hit me. He walked in on us the other day. That can't be anything right? plus I don't usually do that with my employees

"Well, whatever it is, do make sure you don't hurt her because Ella is not just any girl."
