Chris walked into the company with a smile on his face. Camilla might have decided to ignore the fact that they had sex but he wasn't. He knew what he had done was wrong but he was desperate to get her back that he didn't care anymore.
"Am I being selfish ?" he thought but let it go the moment he saw the staff waiting for him in the meeting room.
Ray had been waiting for Camilla for an hour now.
"Ray, am so sorry am late " she apologized the moment she took her seat.
She had tried on all her clothes to find what could cover all the hickeys on her body and wait for the pain to subdue to move again.
He looked her over noticing her weird outfit.
"What's with the turtle neck shirt, what are you hiding ?" he asked.
She chuckled nervously.
"Nothing just woke up feeling under the weather so I dressed this way " she lied.
Ray didn't linger on it and ordered their lunch.
"Should we go watch a movie after ?" Ray asked the absent-minded Camilla.
"Huh ?.. I didn't hear what you said " she said.
"Okay what's wrong you have been out of it all day but you keeping acting like it's nothing ". Ray was getting angry
She fell silent staring at her plate. He had murmured something during their heated lovemaking the previous night.
" I missed lunch but I get to eat you " he had said with a hint of excitement in his voice
She met Ray's curious eyes, "Maybe he missed lunch today as well due to his busy schedule "
More confused Ray fell back in his seat wondering what was wrong with his friend.
She called the waiter asking if they could pack her takeaway. Ray watched her in silence as she acted strange not minding his strange stare.
The food was delivered, "Ray I have to go drop this somewhere so I will see you next time " she got up grabbing her bag and car keys.
Noticing he was silent she paused looking at his angry confused face.
"Just go," he said.
She smiled running off.
"I know it's him " Ray murmured.
She had always been so absent-minded and jumpy like that before the accident. And it was only because of him.
He sighed " What is he doing to you, Camilla ".
She drove her car towards Chris's company. It was a tall skyscraper.
She sat in her car," You don't know why you're doing this but you're still doing it " she told herself.
Grabbing her bag and the packed food Camilla took a deep breath and got out of her car.
Walking to the reception she asked to see Chris.
"Do you have an appointment ?" she was asked.
"No, but can you please just call him "
She was attracting attention and knowing why all were looking at her Camilla tried to hide her face. Being a famous chef wasn't helping her right now.
She didn't have his number so all she could do was wait until the receptionist made her call.
"Who should I say is looking for him ?" she asked Camilla.
"Camilla Smith " she found herself giving her full name out loud confirming her identity to the suspicious stares at her.
"Please wait a moment " she was told.
A few minutes later she saw Chris walk out of the elevator in a hurry. He looked around until their eyes met.
"Camilla " he called her name with a smile.
She got up walking to where he was. She could see his employees were staring at them.
"Is something wrong why are you ?" he asked.
"Thought you would miss lunch due to your busy schedule so I bought you lunch " she answered.
His smile grew even wider as he had her say. Holding her hand he said, " Let's go to my office so I can have it " leading her to the elevator.
His smile was still plastered on his face as he pressed the button to his office floor. His hand was still holding hers as they left the lift.
She could hear murmurs as they walked to his office. Camilla was regretting why she had decided to foolishly bring lunch to a stranger she had to know for a few days.
" Have a seat " he said.
She nodded letting go of his hand and taking a seat. His office was huge with dull colors. Chris's working desk was in the center of the room.
He sat next to her and looked up with exciting eyes.
" So what's for lunch ?" he asked.
Camilla watched him eat all the food she had bought not leaving anything. Why was she happy just seeing him eat she thought.
"I must be crazy !..." she found herself saying.
" Why ?" Chris asked cleaning his lips.
"Why would I let you in my home, my bed, and then drive all the way here leaving my best friend angry to bring you food...am crazy " she laughed.
Chris chuckled, " Your not crazy . Chris held her hand . But all I can tell you is that with time you will understand ".
He was also surprised when he was informed that Camilla had come to see him. Was she returning to the Camilla he knew?
He watched the confused expression on her face.
" I have to go now " Camilla got up.
