Two Unexpected 2

   I ignored whatever I was feeling and ran my eyes through the design Ava wants. It was something spectacular and I loved it. We could give something like this. The Design was simple yet elegant. A long red gown lined with silver lace and the top had a high collar. The train was longer than the rest with the skirt flowing down, the front hemline touching the ground and the bottom being tied with an equally elegant bow. The sleeves were cut off showing off the beautiful shoulders but not too much. The color palette was dark red in colour and made everything seem brighter somehow. I looked up from the phone and stared straight at Ava,"What a fine choice you have. When do you want it delivered to you?"

  "Well my engagement is next Friday, that is to say, I just need it to be done in six days time. Is that possible?"

  I nodded,"It is possible. All you do is drop your address and contact information. You pay on delivery"

    She gave me a knowing smile and stood up,"we better be on our way. Planning an engagement is something that can't be done at once. Though we have been planning this for six months now but it feels like we have not done half of what we are supposed to do"

   She added laughing lightly. I wasn't a fool to know that there is more meaning to her words. I know Ava so well and for the fact that Felix and I had known ourselves, she is seeing me as a threat to her relationship, forgetting that guys are not my spec.

  "Or so you thought"

My subconscious mind screamed at me.

  "I can't understand the troubles of planning an engagement but I do know that your dress will be ready by then. Do have a great day, thanks for coming"

  I said standing up too, Felix did as well and stretched his hands to me. I hesitated but accepted his outstretched hand,"Thanks for hosting us, Miss Martins"

"My pleasure, Mr Shylin"

  We shook hands and instead of him letting my hand go, he slowly brought it to his lips and kissed it. Before doing so, he gave me a look"I am not done with you yet" and pulled away afterwards.

  Ava wasn't blind to what happened and she was glaring at me furiously. 

    He took Ava by the hands and led her out of the meeting room, leaving Catherine and I staring at ourselves.

  "Mind sharing, my lady?"

She asked plainly and I realized she was not so happy with our clients that just left, especially the male client.

  "Don't want to talk about it"

I replied bluntantly and left the meeting room for my office. I did not have strength for one she-human being jealous for no reason. I have my head to clear and I don't need any added trouble.

 Felix's point of view...

   I sat behind the steering wheel with Ava rumbling about what I can't comprehend. Since we left the fashion house, she has been saying and imagining all sorts of things.

  One thing she is right about is the fact that I like Tasha but every other thing she is accusing me of is wrong.

    Seeing Tasha after so many years has brought all sorts of feelings that I thought were buried. I didn't want them to come back but I couldn't help them. Tasha is someone who I had loved for so long even though she never gave me chance to love her. I literally begged her that last time I saw her. My meeting with her was promising and I had thought us could happen but next time I tried her line, it was unreachable. I waited for her for a few days and when I did not hear anything from her, I went by her house but met no one. I tried a few times and nothing came out of it. I was hopeful, days turned into weeks, months, years and after waiting for her I moved on, Only that I did not really moved on from her, I just pushed her thoughts at the back of my mind and now I saw her again, it is all rushing out. And there is no way to ignore it.

  Totally ignoring Ava, I ignited the car and drove off the premises. I need to make peace with Ava first before I know what to do.
