Chapter 5

Caleb Lemiere I looked all of my paperwork and started to sigh big time. I leaned back to my chair and took my phone checking the messages. As usual, it's full with girls asking me for a date or to mess around. Actually I tried to be with other girls, hanging out with them and messing around with them but I always felt like something was wrong. Even though I have a ton of girls lining up for me somehow they never give me what I want. I don't know why at first but seeing Serena again yesterday made me realize what I really want. She was so beautiful and it made me can't take my eyes from her. When I kissed her, it was because I wanted to. I mean I'm not denying that it was just a magnet pulling us and bullshits like that. It was because I want to. I think I kinda miss screwing around with her, that's why I was hoping that we can screw again last night but her body and mind already blocked me from her system. I was the one who wanted this to stop but now I'm the one who wants this to happen. Oh Caleb, you are an idiot. "What's with that face?" I looked up and saw my dad standing in front of me. When did he come in anyway? "I need you to check on the new building.." He said as he gave me his file and I took it. "Why can't Chase go?" "He's busy and he will go to Italy in 2 hours so.. go and check it, Caleb." My dad said and he walked out from the office. I got up and put on my suit. I walked out from my office with the file in my hand. I went down to the lobby and my chauffeur already waiting for me. I got into the car and told him to drive towards the new Gold Lifes building. After 15 minutes of driving, here I am at the new Gold Lifes building. This building is our new headquarters and it will be full of new technology and some of the division from our company will move here but not all or maybe all but we're still thinking about it. It has a total 60 floors and the top floor is our meeting room and the safety headquarters. There will be 2 helicopters standing by everytime up at the rooftop. I walked inside the building. "Good afternoon, Mr. Lemiere." Our secretary greeted us and I nodded at him. I went down to the basement to check the weapons and the Alpha team quarters first. I checked on the things that arrived today too along with the new technology going on. After that I went up to the top floor because my dad asked me to check the new meeting room. Since we're moving in a week, everything needs to be perfect first. "Someone's here?" I asked as I saw the meeting room door's open. No one can have access here except our team. "Ms. Cesantio sir." My body reacted to that name quickly. "What is she doing here?" I asked as I checked the security lock. "She was with her brother earlier checking the meeting room too and Mr. Cesantio left first around 10 minutes ago." She said and I nodded. I gestured to him to go leave me alone and he politely bowed his head a little before going down to the lobby. I walked slowly to the meeting room and found Serena standing near the window with her arms crossed in front of her chest looking blankly at the street. "Hey." I said and she turned to me. "You're here to check the room?" She asked and I nodded. "I'll get out then." She said and she walked towards the door. "Serena." I stopped her before she left. "Hmm?" "Sorry, uhmm about the other night." I said and she nodded. I didn't expect her just to nod but I was hoping to give me another reaction such as slapping me or maybe cursed at me. It's more worse to have her just nodding instead of slapping me or smacking me. "Serena." I stopped her again and she raised her eyebrows. "Can we.. you know.. be friends again? Like we used to be?" I asked and she shook her head which surprised me a lot. "It's impossible, Caleb. We're not meant to be friends after we screwed each other so no.. we can't be friends." "Then what? You want me to date you? To marry you? To screw you again?" I don't know why but I was so angry hearing her answer. She turned her body fully to me. "We both are grown ups now, Caleb. You know what I meant and now.. you and I know that we don't want each other so let's just keep this way. We can't be friends because I can't see you like one even though you can see me as one." She said in a calm tone which got me surprised. I thought she will go wild and be angry with me. "But.." "You'll forget it sooner just like you did.. almost 2 years ago." She said with a little smile and then she left. That got me speechless. I was out of words and she's right. We both are adults now and we have to be rational about this relationship but somehow.. I don't like where this is going. I don't have a good feeling for it..
