that makes you want to stare all day and full pink lips.

She goes to University of Oregon, School of Art Painting & Drawing, Ailyn loves drawing ever since she was twelve years old, everyone said the she has reallhy good at it. She started working part-time at a coffee shop to help Mia pay the apartment rent, that they just move in less than two weeks ago, is not much but enough to pay her part. 

 

 

Ailyn is in the bus coming home from college, looking out of the window enjoying the view. Walking up the stairs, stopped in front of the door, looking for her keys thru the bag.

 Mia is at home pacing thru the house waiting to Ailyn to get home. Mia can't believe the way that her best friend talked to her boss, she never saw Mr. Stark that angry.

- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! - screamed Mia as I opened the door - do you have any idea who he is? - said still walking from one side to another.

- He's Mr. Stark your boss, right? - I said while closing the door.

- This is not the time for you to be sarcastic - she stopped walking and look at me - he´s not gonna let it slide, you just cost him a client.

- What was I supposed to do? Help him changed the shirt, cleaned the shirt, - i drop my things in the room - pay for it? What? You know he was gonna fire you, right?
Mia came into my room - I know that, but still you can´t talk to him like that...

I cut her off - Like what? Did you get fired? - I asked.

- No ...

 I cut her off again - You're welcome. I'm gonna take a shower, we have a dinner at my parents, did you forget? - I went to the bathroom and locked the door.

- Ailyn! - Mia screamed - this is not gonna slide like that.

 

 Seven o'clock, me and Mia arrive at my parents house. My parents house may look great on the outside but is small and cozy inside, has two floors, three bedrooms, a bathroom, a small kitchen and living room. On the outside it has a small balcony and a garden where my mother takes care of her flowers. One of the reasons why I left the house is because it is small for four people.

The whole ride Mia didn't said a word. We left the car and ring the bell, my sister open the door.

Emma open the door, she was wearing a small black dress that fell perfectly in her small body, her long black hair falling thru her shoulders, her big grey eyes staring at us and her pink full lips smiling.

 - Hi Emma - we said simultaneously.

The smile disappeared from her beautiful, perfect face. - Don´t you have keys? - said Emma in an arrogant way.

- I left the keys when I left the house, remember? - I answered the same arrogant way she asked - can we come in?

- Sweetheart, Mia come on in please. - Said my mom taking Emma out of the way to give me a hug.

- Mom - I said pulling away from her embrace, if we stay too long like that she was going to cry. - Where is dad? - I asked to divert her mind to another subject.

- A coworker had an emergency and asked to change shift, he will not be able to come today. He apologized.

- We can always come another time, right? - Asked Mia.

- Of course dear. Why not come inside. - Said my mother.

 

We entered the house, set the table, help my mother finished dinner, sat on the table and began to eat. 

- How was your day, sweetheart? - My mother asked as she ate a forkful of famous fried chicken recipe.

- How was your day, Ailyn? - Asked me Mia turning to me with a frown on her forehead and her lips become a dry smile.

- What happened, sweetheart? - My mother asked, with a look of concern.

- Tells us what happened, sweetheart - said my sister with a face of someone who is having a lot of fun.

- Seriously Mia, you didn't talk to me all the way here and you want to talk about what happened now?

- I wanted to talk, who ran away was you.

- I'm sorry, okay? I should not have said these things to him - I sighed - but he doesn't have the right to talk like that to people - I said truthfully.

- What happened? - My mother and my sister asked at the same time.

Mia told them what happened, I saw the expression of my mother change as Mia told her the whole story.

- You spoke like that? I don`t believe what I'm hearing, me and your father never teach you talk like this to people - said my mom - Is that why you wanted to leave home.

 I looked at Mia and gave her a look of who wanted to kill her - Mom, I have not forgotten anything, but that man doesn't know how to talk to people, so I wanted to teach him a lesson and talked in the same way - i looked at Mia - he was going to fire her because of me, I could not stand there and say nothing. End of story. - I said looking at them all.

 - My sister should have left under the wings of my mother a long time ago. - said Emma with a smile.

 We spent the rest of the dinner talking about what happened. About two hours later we left and went home.

 

 

 

  #Two days later#

 

 

- Hello - I said answering my phone.

- How about I stop at the coffee shop later and give you a ride to college? - Luke asked with a playful voice.

- You'd be the best person in the world. - I replied playfully.

- I know. That's why I asked. What time do you leave?

- Around three o'clock.

- OK. When I get there i'll call you. Bye.

- Bye, bye. - I hung up the phone and went to work.

 

 

 

 # Five hours later#

 

 

- Ailyn, I know it's time for you to go but can you do me a favor? - My boss asked.

- Of course, what you need? - I answered.

I thought to myself, "of course if my boss ask me a favor I have to do even if I'm late for university and Lukke waiting for me outside".

- Zoey called and said shes a bit late, can you clean the tables and take the order of table eight, please? - my boss said with a expression on his face this is not a request but an order, and if you say no you're fired.  

- No problems - I answered.

I pointed out the order of table eight and handed to the girl in the counter, I clean the tables like my boss told me, took the cups and dishes and cleaned the tables. I looked at the time on my black smartphone, and has already passed ten minutes from the time Luke and I agreed to meet. I picked up my stuff behind the counter said goodbye to my boss and headed toward the exit. But someone grabbed my arm.

I looked back and I froze for ten seconds, the man was wearing a navy blue suit that fit perfectly in his body. His perfect face staring at me, his lips started forming a cynical smile, and I could see his perfect white teeth. I could not believe that we would meet again, much less in the place I work. 

- You like to grab people's arms or what? - I could not believe what I had just said, I started to shake when the smile disappeared from his face.

- I was looking forward to meet you again, Mrs. Smith - he said in an arrogant way.

- How do you know my name? - I sighed - Mia.

He smirked again, but said nothing.

- Well, I was not at all eager to meet you again, Mr. Stark. - I blurted out.

- You said the other day you loved to talk to me, how about we talk now?

I freed myself from him - I loved that but ... - my mobile phone rang and I saw that Luke was calling.

- You have any idea what your joke the other day has cost me.

- I have to go - I said and started to run towards Luke's car.

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 3

 knock knock, someone knocked at the door.

- Yes.

The door opened - here are the documents you asked for , Mr. Stark. - Mia said with a nervous voice

- You already have dealt with the issue of Mr. Oliver? - I asked.

- I could not speak with Mr. Oliver directly only with his secretary. Mr. Oliver said he didn't want to engage more with us.

I looked at her and sighed.

- I can arrange a meeting with the secretary of Mr. Oliver, if you want, Mr. Stark. - Said the secretary.

- Why would I want to meet with his secretary, Mr. Stewart? - I asked.

- Maybe if Mr. Stark speaks with his secretary, she could talk to Mr. Oliver ... 

I sighed again as of her incompetence, and interrupted her - of course I always have to clean up after you - I turned my chair and looked out the huge window of my office - tell me the place and time.

- Mr. Oliver secretary said she is willing to meet with you, around three o'clock at this address.

As she finished talking I turned my chair and looked at her, - so you agreed to a meeting before talking to me.

She held out her hand and gave me a piece of paper, I took it and read what was written there.

- Royal Coffee? What it is, she wants to meet in a coffee shop? - It was not enough to have to meet with a secretary and now in a fucking coffee shop, unbelievable.

- Yes, Mr. Stark. - She gave me a fake smile.

- Get out. - I said with an angry voice.

- Yes, Mr. Stark. - She went out and closed the door.

I looked at the Breitling watch in my wrist, it's half past two, I picked up the phone that was placed in my large desk and called my driver.

- I'm going out, bring the car.

- Yes, Mikhael. - He replied quickly.

I got my mobile phone and left the office and as I passed by my two secretaries I said - I'll be right back.

- Yes, Mr. Stark. - They said at the same time.

 

I left the building, my driver was already waiting for me with the door of the 2015 BMW 5 series black car open. I gave him the paper with the address and got in the car.

William, my driver I know him since I was five years old, he used to work for my mother, but since my mom passed away he works for me and has been like a father to me. He is the only person I give permission to call me by my name and knows all my secrets.

 

- We're here, Mikhael - the driver said.

- Wait here, I will not take that long. - I
