Chapter 15- Surprise date

The next day Mariyah woke up and she felt sick, so she called Devonte and told him she wouldn't be coming to work until she got better. Mariyah slept off immediately she ended the call with her boss, she didn't like taking drugs so she decided sleeping would be the best solution.

Knock! Knock! , Mariyah woke up, looked outside the windows and saw it was evening already, she thought it was Yuri, her BFF and was completely unbothered about what she was wearing, her bra and some tights. She opened the door and who she saw shocked her it was Devonte, she quickly closed the door and wore a top, she opened it and he wasn't there anymore, disappointed she entered the house again.

She went back to her bed and slept off, as she was sleeping the lights went off, Mariyah sighed and put on the inverter, this time she didn't feel like sleeping so she put on the TV and started to watch it, "Am I that invincible?" he asked, "Show yourself boss." she said while watching the tv, he slowly stepped out from the kitchen, but how did he get in, Mariyah was very sure that she didn't let him enter the apartment, she turned around and saw him smirking, "Before you open the door dress up properly. " he said , 'PERVET!' she said in her mind. "I'm not sick anymore." she replied. " Good, get dressed we're going out." he said and from his tone Mariyah knew he was dead serious, "Sure, let me get ready." she answered.

Mariyah wore a blue flowery dress, and put some lipgloss on her lips, she walked out of her room and his beamed like the sun when he saw her, "Let's go." he said and held her hands, they walked to the limousine and the chauffeur drove to the exact same restuarant that she got her new job in , "What are you doing?"Mariyah asked obviously annoyed, "You don't work here anymore." he said , "But-", "No buts trust me they won't remember you." he said and packed her forehead, "Calm down." he whispered before he left the car. Mariyah took a deep breath and made her way to the restaurant, the waiter was the one of her friends and he was shocked to see her with this rich man. "Oh my Mariyah, what are you doing with him." he said in front of Devonte , he exhibited a great amount if courage. "He's my friend now." she said while smiling hoping it would make Max leave them alone. "Actually we are-" Devonte got interrupted "Yeah I don't care so what do yall want?" Max asked rudely. "I would like the spaghetti with minced meat and a drink." she said and he glanced at her before writing it down. "And you sir?" he asked Devonte, "Same." he said and held her hands, he gave Max a terrifying look, Mariyah could feel the tension between them , "How long would it take before it's ready?"she asked . "About ten minutes." he said before he left, his eyes filled with pain.

Mariyah watched him walk off , yes she had only known Max for 2days but he was really nice to her and helped her with most of the stuff she did while working here. "So you love him now? "Devonte asked, she looked at his eyes and saw an unfathomable expression, "No, I actually just feel bad. " she answered. "So.. you love him." he repeated the same words. "I don't, stop overreacting. " she said with a scoff. "I didn't know you had another friend besides Yuri. " he continued. "He's just a recent friend. " Mariyah answered his question, why was he being so inquisitive?
