Beautiful Beautiful

NATHANIEL'S POV

"Let's go out", I look up at Dawn, who dropped a stack of papers, that were awaiting her confirmation. She might be the business minded person, but one can get frustrated too, speaking from experience.

I thought about where exactly she wanted us to go. "Go where, exactly?, go back to your home, or just out of the company?

We are in her office, and from the moments we came, it has always been business upon business. It's a normal thing for me, but I thought it wouldn't be the same for ladies.

When I asked her where she wanted us to go, I thought I saw emotions flash through her eyes, 'sadness, pain'

"So, you still see it as 'my home'? She asked, more like she was speaking to herself, but I was quick to hear it.

"I-",She cut me off, before I could say anything "No, I want to go to the park, a club, where else?... um let me see" she said while scrolling through her phone.

"What about we go to the park first", I suggested, dreading the idea of taking her to the club, where all those stinking flies would have the opportunity to start checking her out, have lewd thoughts about her, in their disgusting brain of theirs.

I don't know why those thoughts are making me angry," I don't even think you should go anywhere at all",

You're too beautiful to be seen, by anyone else apart from me

I seriously don't know what is wrong with me. I need a thorough checkup

Oblivious to the battle I'm experiencing, she shrugged "I'll pretend i didn't hear you saying that I'm not going anywhere, cuz no one can stop me, so let's go the park"

I sighed, more behaviours I love about her.

Where are these feelings heading, really?

"Okay, the park is it then", she said before jumping off her seat.  I'm sure that her employees would be surprised if they saw her behave like this.

Knock knock**

An employee came in, what was her name again?, oh yeah Portia.

She handed Dawn two bags, obviously from a department store "Your orders maam".

"Hmm, just put it there.", she pointed to the sofa, "Thanks"

After Portia went out, she dropped her phone on the table, and went to take a look at whatever was in the bag. She squeezed her face in disapproval of whatever was inside, and I was still sitting wondering what it was.

She dropped the bag, shaking her head "This won't do, let's go "

"Go?, go where?" I asked, although I was already following her.

"Just follow without asking, will you?"

DAWN'S POV

When I saw the clothes in the bag, I didn't like them. Oh! yeah, I searced for suitable clothes we can were to the park, while we were talking about where we should go, and I placed an order, but I don't like them again.

I took my bag, and out of my office we went. Chris pressed the button and the elevator doors opened. I'm sure my employees murmur  So we went to a department store that belonged to 'ACE'. As much as I hate the fact, this company is my number one rival. And it's the one company that gives me headache.

We looked around in the clothes section, "Maam, sir, how may i help you?" An attendant came to ask us,

I looked around, hoping to see any fault in the place, "Um yeah, I'm looking for suitable clothes to wear to the amusement park, for me and this guy", I said referring to Chris.

How he described my house, like it was my home only was still bothering me, wasn't it his also?, or didn't he see it as his also?

The attendant smiled" Oh, like couple tees or matching clothes"

Couple?, Did she think we were a couple?

As much as I wanted to deny, a smile kept finding its way to my lips, even when I was trying to hide it

"Ok, th..."

Before I could answer,  I just got interrupted by Chris"We'll go for the matching clothes, then"

WHAT?!!

I was about to say that we would check out the couple tee shirts, when he suddenly cut me

Did he really hate to be called a couple with me

"Then, it's the matching clothes we'll check out" I said, not bothering to hide the grumbling in my voice.

I went to inside the dressing room, and tried out the one she gave me to try. I told her I wanted something very light and comfortable, so she gave me a white oversized tee shirt that reached my thighs, and I wore it over a blue Jean shorts, I think I'll go with this.

I came out of the dressing room, but Chris wasn't there. Just as I asked the attendant where he went to, "There he is ", and I turned to look at him, just to find him holding a pair of sneakers in one hand and a pair of slippers in the other.

He looked at my legs, and told me to sit down, "We can't go to the park with you in those". That was when I paid attention to what he was wearing, he was putting on a blue shirt and a white Jean shorts reaching his knee. The colours really does complement mine.

He helped me put on the sneakers" If your legs hurt later, you can change it to the slippers. He held my hand and pulled me up, and that's when I noticed that the first three buttons of his shirt was undone, revealing his chest. I don't know what is attractive there, but I couldn't take my eyes of him.

The attendant pulled me out of my trance, "Wow, your boyfriend knows what you might need, even before you said it. You're the most beautiful couple I've seen"

Boyfriend, she actually thinks he's my boyfriend. Am I not supposed to correct her, but why can't I stop this blush that's creeping up my face.

"Thank you", it was Chris that answered instead. I looked up and saw him smiling at me, before he pulled me out. It wasn't the first time he smiled at me, but maybe because, it was after the attendant called him my boyfriend, that's why my heart don't want to stop beating fast.

I like this department store already,  and the attendant especially.

We got to the car, Chris opened the door for me, and before i could even enter, i saw two girls looking at us, they obviously came out also from the  shopping mall, because they were holding many shopping bags.

"Aww, he's even opening the door for her, they make feel so jealous"

It's like I'm really going to keep coming here. We entered and then he zoomed off.

I was still smiling, when i remembered our clothes, "Oh my gosh, I didn't remember to collect my clothes"

"I have done that already". He replied with a smile.

His smile was so beautiful. Is he trying to advertise the toothpaste he was using. Why is he smiling?, why is he still smiling

"If you continue to stare at me like that, I'm afraid we might not reach the amusement park on time"

I blinked my eyes nervously, " I wasn't staring at you, my eyes were just looking at your direction.

He looked at me with a smirk plastered on his face, "Really?"

"Whatever " I said, although I couldn't stop my face from been so hot.

"We're here"

Finally, we reached the amusement park.

I opened the door, and jumped out of the car, before he could even open the door.

"Amusement park, here I come"
