there, I can have you picked up at 1pm tomorrow and we can go then! I've got meetings in the morning!”
I smiled. “Okay, I've got work emails to sort anyways, so it works well!”
“That's a date, then Evangeline I look forward to it.”
“First real date?!” I turned and gave him a shy smile.
He grinned. “Yes a real date! Me and you! I'll call it our second date since today went so well!”
I was excited. I really enjoyed his company.
“Ah the lift is almost at the bottom! We will exit the way we came in, then walk around the corner to get picked up.”
“Okay, cool.” I turned back around waiting for the lift to stop.
As the doors rolled open, I felt Cameron's hand on my lower back again as he guided me out of the lift. We passed the doorman from before who gave us both a polite smile.
The sounds of the city hit my ears as we walked out into the late afternoon sun.
“Cameron! Oh my god it is! It's been too long!”
I heard a female voice from not far off calling his name and I wondered who it was.
“Oh god, not now.” Cameron uttered under his breath and cringed as he turned in the direction of the voice.
He didn't let go of me, instead he slipped his hand a little more around my waist again so I couldn't leave.
I looked over to where Cameron was looking and saw a woman in her late 30s waving at him as she made her way over. She was smartly dressed and had jet black hair that was bobbed.
“Darling, I never expected to bump into you today! I've not seen you in months!” She looked at him expectantly like she was expecting him to do something. She eyed him and then me with interest.
“I've been busy, Erin! Besides, you're a very busy woman!” He was being reserved.
She looked at him confused. “Not that busy! Do I not even get a kiss?! So formal today because you're with your new little friend.” She grinned at him.
I raised a brow. I didn't like the way she looked at him or the way he was being super awkward around her.
She had to be an ex for sure! Only she was older than him, he'd also stated that he hadn't had girlfriends, but the way she looked at him said she thought otherwise.
I studied her, she was all A line skirts and blouses that had just a touch too much cleavage peeping out and looked the part where as I wore jeans and T-shirts! I sighed, it was like a Taylor Swift song had come to life.
Her referral to me as his little friend also got my back up.
Rude. Honey, he's so not interested in you! Take a hint.
I felt like I should move away because I was clearly unwanted in this situation. I went to step away from them both, but his hand gripped my side blocking me from being able to move to far away. “No you don't get a kiss Erin!” He sounded pissed off. “It's also rude to ignore the fact I'm clearly with someone right now whom you’re clearly making feel very uncomfortable!”
Oh, that's gonna sting. I smirked at her as she scanned me.
“Oh well, I didn't know did I! She's not your normal type Cameron! I assumed she was a friend of your sisters or something! She looks like a teenager, things must be scarce.” She sniffed in and gave me a full on dirty look.
I shook my head. “Excuse me, but I am standing right here! I can hear you! And just so you know I'm twenty!” I was more than a little offended by the way she looked at me like I was dirt on her shoe.
She raised a brow at me. “Oh, sorry sweetie, I assumed you just knew to be seen and not heard!”
I laughed at her. I'd come up against her type before. I was outraged she'd say something like that to a total stranger and for one second I wanted to pull the 'do you know who I am' card just to annoy her but I knew he'd not like it. His whole body had gone ridged stood beside me. He radiated uncomfortableness.
“Wow, you have such wonderful social skills, I bet your fun at a party!” I gave her a death stare. I was convinced more than ever that she quite clearly still liked him.
“You will have to excuse
