Chapter 6

Zoe's P.O.V "Kris!!!" I yelled hugging one of my friends from high school and to say that I was surprised was an understatement. I hadn't seen this boy in so long like years I haven't spoken to him except occasionally on Facebook. "Hey Zozo," he said as we both let go. "Ummm this is?" Daryl said interrupting our meeting. "Kris, you remember my friend from school right?" I said raising my eyebrows at him. "Oh him, baby let's go to the café I need a coffee and you need to get your muffin and cookies," he said hugging me from behind. Wait...I taught he just said he was leaving. Oh well, I must have heard him wrong, or no I did not he said he had to go to his office but I am still going to ask about it. I turned back to Kris ignoring the fact that Daryl did not even greet him. "Kris, would you like to join us?" As I felt jealousy radiating off Daryl. "Sure if it is not a problem," "Okay great Daryl babe, can I talk to you before we leave?" I said turning to Daryl as I held his hand and led him into the office. "Babe you were jealous," I said holding his hands and looking him in the eyes. "What was that?" He replied looking at me confused. "I know you were jealous babe don't try to deny it because I felt it but don't worry I promised you that I will give us a chance and I meant it when I said that," I said taking his face in one hand as I held onto his hand with my other. "I'm sorry about that love it is just that in school everyone taught you and him were....." he started when I stopped him. "Baby look at me all of this is going to be yours not his I am going to be your wife not anybody else's and haven't you heard what God makes no man can break," I said hugging him. "Promise me you won't get jealous of something so silly again?" I repeated pulling away and looking at him. "I won't get jealous over nothing and I give you my word," he promised before I brought my lips to his. Guess who just had to make an appearance and interrupt us once again? Groaning I broke the kiss turning to the intruder which he was right now. "Andi get out we are coming now and join us at the café!" I said snapping. "Hey it was not my fault you both are too busy swapping spit to hear me knocking my life out and trust me I plan to because I am so not missing out on seeing this," he said being dramatic as always exiting. I rolled my eyes as both Daryl and I walked out, him holding my hips as I walked in front of him. All of us took the private elevator with Crystal and me trying to make small talk to cut through the tension. Once we got to the café Daryl and I went to place our orders as well as everyones. The cashier seemed more interested in Daryl than her job though and let me say it was getting annoying now. "Your order won't be long," she said winking at him and ignoring me. Am I invisible or is she just blind? I don't mean to sound offensive or anything but it is an honest question. We got to our seats in the booth and I sat next to Daryl. "Baby?" "Yes, Daryl?" "Tonight we're going to get your stuff okay?" I nodded resting my head on his shoulder and kissing his jaw. "Wait you both are...." Kris trailed off as Daryl and I looked at him. "Engaged!" I said holding up my hand and showing him my ring. "Oh wow!" he said shocked and something else I could not quite place "Yeah we are....." I trailed off turning back to Daryl. Before I could say anything again, "Daryl Grey," the cashier called indicating to us the orders were ready. We both went and got everything and brought it back to our table. If you were wondering why it was because there was no waitress currently available which was strange if you ask me. "So Kris how did you know where to find me?" I said taking a bite of my chocolate chip muffin "Honey you are the best at what you do and there is something called Google," he said as if it was the easiest thing to find me. After that awkward moment, I fed Daryl a piece of my chocolate chip muffin. Kris looked at Daryl glaring a bit but both of us meaning Daryl and I could have been mistaken. "Can I talk to Daryl in private for a minute please?" Kris asked out of the blue. "Sure," Daryl said getting up and kissing me before both of them walked out. "Oh my this ish just got real," Andi said as I looked at him with my brows raised before we both burst out laughing. "What do you think he wanted to talk about?" Crystal said as I shrugged. After ten minutes both of them came back. "Babe is everything alright?" I said turning to him running my hand through his hair. "It's nothing baby," he replied sitting down and kissing my cheek. I looked at him with my eyebrows raised before deciding to drop the topic for now. He was not even giving any signs that he was angry or anything but still that was worse than getting a reaction from him. "Zoe when is the wedding?" Kris said looking at me and smiling. "Soon next three months matter of fact," I said smiling lightly at him before turning to Daryl who nodded smiling at me. "Congratulations so am I invited?" He asked smirking at Daryl. I didn't reply but in turn, turned to Daryl because I wanted his input on this too. "Yes, you are her friend and I want her happy so you are invited," he said playing with the edge of my hair. "Actually we already signed our marriage certificate it is just to say our vows in front of God and complete it," Daryl said kissing my shoulder. Knowing Daryl he is brutally honest so did he actually mean we were signed those papers. My questions were when, where, why, and how? Wait for the contract.....Oh, he played his cards well. "Zoe why aren't you living him with since earlier he told you that tonight you are moving in with him?" Kris questioned further "We only signed the contracts recently and decided today would be the perfect time for me to move into our home," I said placing my hand on Daryl's. We spoke a little while longer after that and then left. The tension did manage to cool down a little after that question. After I finished at work I parked in Daryl's company and made my way to meet him in his office. However once there his secretary stopped me like if she didn't know who I was from all the other times I was here. "Do you have an appointment?" She said while looking at me up and down like if I was some kind of foreign creature. "No I don't but last time I check I don't need an appointment to see my husband," I replied keeping calm and smiling sweetly at her. "Funny last time I checked Daryl wasn't married so I am going to call security," she said smirking as she pressed a button, and did she just call him Daryl. Where was the respect that was her boss and I was pretty sure they weren't friends? Man, this girl was lucky I can control my temper. Not long after security arrived and asked me to leave. "Escort this thing out," she said pointing at me as the security roughly grabbed my arm ready to drag me out of there literally. Just then Daryl walked out of his office. "What is going on here?" He asked looking at the security's grip on my hand with his jaw clenched. "Escorting this woman out sir," the security replied. "Babe could you tell him to let go his grip is pretty hard," I said trying to loosen his grip. "Let her go Alrik and let me introduce you to Mrs. Zoe Grey, my wife, as she is already here also she does not need an appointment," he said pointing at me. The security immediately let go, apologizing to me and Daryl pulled me into his arms. "Baby this is my head of security," he said introducing me to Alrik I believe his name was. "Ma'am I am so sorry Mrs. Grey," he kept on apologizing. "Don't worry about it you were doing your job so I forgive you and as for you pack your things and leave you're fired," I said holding Daryl's hand as I turned to the fuming secretary and we walked out, his secretary glaring at our backs as she packed her stuff. "Baby you fired my secretary she was good at her job," he said pinning me to the elevator as he looked down at me, darn height difference. "No, she wasn't unless you meant looking at you as if she owned you and the place, and did you sleep with her or something?" I said turning my face away from him. "No love I never slept with her or had anything with her, okay?" He replied taking my face in his hand and kissing me. Once he pulled away I smiled up at him. "Good because sleeping with you is in my job description, not hers or anyone else," I said as he pulled away, the elevator stopping on the last floor so we could step out. If you taught it was going to be all good....... Meanwhile at the company... Andi's P.O.V I called Crystal into my office to tell her what Zoe said as she was out today running some errands after we left the café and came to work after she had finished them. Zoe would have told her herself but she had already left to go visit Daryl. "Hey Zo said to tell you if you and I could please pack up her stuff as she is actually going to be moving in with him tonight," I said packing my stuff to go. "Two questions is Zo sure this is not moving too fast and what does she owe you for you to do this for her?" She said raising her eyebrows at me questioningly. "She is that contract was a marriage certificate she signed so not to worry and I am doing this because she is my friend actually she promised to make lunch for me for the next three weeks," I said as Crystal laughed. "Like she doesn't already cook for you every day," she said rolling her eyes. Now before you get any ideas Crystal and Zoe are like my sisters so no I do not have feelings for either of them romantically. Crystal nodded and then told me she would meet me at Zoe's home as she had some stuff to go get. Like if I didn't know she was actually going to meet Andre. I know they weren't a couple so they are probably trying to play matchmaker for Daryl and Zoe. The reason being they think that they are faking it and just acting that way in front of people not to blow their cover. Yes Crystal finally accepted that Zoe and Daryl should be together because she saw how happy Zoe looked today at that café with him and all we wanted was for her to be happy. "Anyways go meet your boyfriend and then meet me at Zoe's and yes she gave me access to the house," I said as she hit my head before walking out. I will never understand why that girl is so abusive
