MIA'S POV:
The rays of the sun struck directly into my eyes. It was morning already, I sat upright on my bed. I saw Liam sleeping soundly on the floor it looked like she fell of the bed, I yawned and stretched my body before waking Liam up. I went to Jace's and mom's room and they were both still asleep. Liam assisted me in doing the chores and we both cooked. Liam wasn't a good cook unlike me because she had a cook who prepares her meal. Liam was in a hurry to leave, so she rushed her food and left. Before she left, mom and Jace were awake already; they were surprised to see her because they didn't know she came visiting yesterday. I and mom had not really talked because of my job. "Mia darling, it's been long we had a girl to girl chat since you started your new job, what's going on with you ? I hope no one is trying to intimidate you ?" Mom couldn't just stop asking me questions. "Everything is going well mom except for some little stuffs I am dealing with but I'll be fine" I reassured her with a smile. "Beep beep" my phone continuously rang, it was Charles. "Hey Charles, how you doing ?" I asked, "I am at Vickings bar already, I'll be expecting you" Charles said, "Isn't it too early to meet ? This is barely noon time and the sun is so scorching" I told Charles. "I need to see you urgently, please Mia" He pleaded with me, "Okay I'm on my way already" I stood up. "What does he have to say that is so important that it can't wait ?" I thought silently. I told my mom I was going to meet up with a colleague and we were gonna stay for long. I went to my room got dressed immediately and left the house. Fortunately for me, a bus was already available at the bus station so I entered and we left immediately. I got to there and I scanned the bar and I saw Charles sitting alone so I walked up to him. He saw me coming and immediately stood up to usher me a seat. That was romantic though. "Thank you" I said before sitting then he asked what I would like to eat or drink. "Let's start with water for now" I was actually very thirsty. He ordered water for me and a blended Orange fruit juice for himself. We talked for a while, got to know each other better. He was very feisty and so lively. "What is this meeting all about Charles ?" I asked him inquisitively. "Mia, I don't want to rush things so I'll go slowly with you. I have been observing you since the first day you started work in the office and I must say you have a really nice personality" Charles said. I didn't know if that was a compliment but I thanked him all the same. He continued by saying "I really admire you Mia and I know we are close friends but I want our relationship to me more than that". I was instantly short of words when he said that because I didn't want any strings attached to our friendship. "C'mon Charles, don't you think it's too early to tell me this ?" I said with an irritated face. "It is not early to me Mia I don't you to be with anyone else especially Mr Regal" Charles continued "I noticed the way he is being nice to you, he is not usually this nice. He obviously likes you". I stopped immediately after hearing this, "What ? Why would you say something like that about Mr Regal, if this is a joke please stop it right now" I instantly cautioned him. "Okay, I guess you will know when the time comes", "What does he mean by that ? Does it mean Mr Regal was secretly admiring me ?" I couldn't but ask myself these questions due to the seriousness at which Charles made that statement. I was about to give him a reply when I saw Mr Regal and a lady walk into the bar together "Talk of the devil" I said silently. He walked passed us and I was very certain he saw us but pretended not to. They walked to an empty table, sat and started discussing. I couldn't take my eyes off him, Charles saw this and snapped his fingers then I looked directly into Charles's eye balls giving him a grave stir. "Well, looks like your observations were totally wrong as you can see Charles" I said still staring at him. He couldn't utter a word but he still believed Mr Regal was secretly admiring me. Mr Regal and the young lady talked and laughed so loudly and because of this Charles thought they were only trying to make us feel jealous, that was an awkward thing to say. I have not actually being in this position before so I didn't know how to act or feel. "Just do what I ask you to do Mia" Charles who was obviously trying to make Mr Regal also jealous instructed me on what to do. We then acted as if we were in a relationship and were having fun. I agreed because I was a little jealous, I also secretly admired Mr Regal. He was someone ladies couldn't easily resist with the body of a mini god but I wasn't concentrating because I couldn't take my eyes off him. He wasn't paying attention to what we were doing due to his sitting position; he was backing us. I couldn't see the usefulness of what we were doing so I told Charles that we stopped pretending already. Mr Regal was on the phone with someone but within seconds he rushed out of the bar, it seemed he had some important issues to deal with. The young lady also left the bar and I wasn't interested in anything Charles had to say anymore so I stood up to take my leave. "We will talk some other time Charles, I bet to take my leave" then I extended my hands for a shake. He begged me to stay but I didn't want to so I left.
