Chapter 4 : Catch up I just can't figure it out ... what's the matter with him ? What is his goal ? I've been working like a robot on this project , and this is only the beginning . I randomly change my place of work , sometimes the office , sometimes the warehouse . I even work from home and have meetings outside the office . Just to avoid him . And I have to say , he is very intense . But it was impossible . He was the new star , the brilliant client . It's like avoiding the sun , is everywhere . In a meeting , walking around the warehouse as if nothing had happened , but a few days ago ... he just seems to stay in prudential distance . I don't know why , but still ... I feel him . When we were in the same place or a meeting , I felt like he couldn't take his eyes off me , listening to me , all his attention on me . At least we are surrounded by a lot of people . " Hi Priscilla ... where were you ? " my boss asked me . " Ehhh I just went to see some curtains for the project ... you know , the hotel " " Curtains ... Isn't that supplier located on the other side of town ? Did you go there just for that ? You know you could just call them ... " he says . " I just believed it would be better to talk face to face ... " I was tired of driving there , but whatever it took to get out of the office . " Well , that's a good work ethic . I have to say ... I'm amazed by your efforts , especially volunteering to go where no one wants to go . Kudos ! " he adds , and I smile nervously . I sigh while I sit on my chair , and even there ... I saw Ethan from afar , talking to Clark , and I heard some girls talking about him . You say he doesn't have a wife ? Really ? I mean , he doesn't have a ring , I've seen him well , but he may live with some super hot model , people don't get married like they used to " mentions one of them . " Exactly ... unfortunately , he is very reserved and doesn't say anything . And believe me , Kate has asked him . That girl won't leave him alone ! " says another one , and they all laugh . " He's a man who has traveled and has money , he must have excellent taste . And Kate is ... complicated , but not ugly , I mean ... she can try , and he can accept " says another . " Ohhh , this man makes our days better just by looking at him ! Today he looks better than ever ... It's a pity he's just a client , and we don't have him here all the time " says another . They want to see him all the time , and I want him to go away . As 1 come back home , and I'm in the elevator , all I can think about is collapsing onto the sofa at home when a hand appears at the door , stopping it from closing A tall man with red hair appears , dressed in a jeans shirt and dark pants . He has some tattoos and a piercing on his lip . He has a guitar in a case slung over his back . Oh , god ... he is cute . Really cute . " Hi , " he says , looking at me out of the corner of his eye as I see him pushing the button on the floor above mine , " Hi , new here ? " I ask , and he nods , smiling at me . Cute and nice . Yeah , I just moved recently , found a nice apartment here ... this place is nice " he indicates , and in the few seconds that we are in the elevator , I find out that his name is Rob , and he is an artist , a real one . " I hope you can help me with information about the neighborhood , I'd love to have your help , " he says charmingly . My help ? Wow ... I didn't see this coming , I don't talk to my neighbors much , just hello and bye , I notice that he comes a little closer to me , he has a delicious perfume and his eyes are sparkling . I like this guy more and more . Do you like this story ? ADD TO LIBRARY P P Chapter 4 : Catch up " Mmm yes , of course I do ! Whatever you need , I live on the next floor , and I know the whole place very well . I live with my best friend " I tell him . Please , don't think I'm flirting , I mean ... I'm a good neighbor , right ? You have to be a good neighbor , especially with new ones . And the nice , cute , artists ones . Could he be flirting with me ? No , no . Don't think crazy things , Priscilla ! Although it's been so long since I've been in anything halfway romantic with someone , I really wouldn't know . So ... I suppose I will see you around , Priscilla , " he says , smiling , while I say goodbye , waving my hand like a fool . " Priss ! " I hear a scream and I find Suzy , who surprises me at the entrance . My friend ! My sweet friend ! " My God , I'm so happy to see you ! " I give her a long hug . Suzy has dark brown hair , freckles and a cute face . I adore her . If anyone I need and can help me at this time in my life , it is her . We had a nice dinner , and we talked about our lives . Her life is calm and nice , mine ... not so much . " A new neighbor , really ? And he's cute ... oh my ! And you talk a lot for a brief encounter on the elevator " she says . " Oh yeah ... " I told her more about our conversation a few minutes ago . " Very interesting , I like his attitude , but ... please tell me about Ethan , what is going on with your childhood crush ? " she says hugging a big pillow . " Oh Suzy ... it is the worst . My workplace is hell , I have no peace . He has told me several times that he wants us to talk . " " Oh my God ! Tell you what ? Talk about the past ? What the hell ? " " I have no idea , but I don't want to find out . Do you know what annoys me the most ? He treats me as if nothing had happened , as if we were close friends who hadn't seen each other in years " I say angry . " How he dares ! " " It's awful ! And besides , his presence is interfering with the best opportunity I've ever had at my job . " . " And ... he is your client , it's a big deal " she adds . " And Clark adores him ! Sweet god ! Everybody loves him ! I have a wonderful opportunity to prove what I can do , or at least get the attention of my boss " " But ... how is he now ? I remember you mentioned that he was pretty hot . Maybe he aged ... badly . Did he ? " she Everything would be easier that way , but no . asks , and I close my eyes . " No , he's ... he's handsome . Seriously , he was attractive as a teenager and now ... he's better than ever . Everybody in the office is crazy about him . Some girls are seriously attacking him " . " Goddamn ! And has your sister told you anything ? Or what about Lily ? " My sister is in her little world with her supposed invisible boyfriend . Can you believe she doesn't know him yet ? She always says she's going to introduce them to us , but he's a very busy man ... she hasn't seen him yet ... face to face . That's crazy . But the man never comes " Lily , on the other hand , is very excited about her wedding and wants me to be one of her bridesmaids and be involved in the planning . And it seems that she and the whole family , want me there beside them , as if I were just another Fairfax . That means I'd have to see Ethan all the time , and I don't think I can . I don't want to . " " Pri , maybe Ethan wants to revisit the past and go back to those happy times between his family and yours . And his sister's wedding is the ideal moment , don't you think ? Suzy mentions . At night , I wonder what happened to make him come back into my life like this . On the other hand ... it bothers me the fact that other girls are looking for him and chasing him ! Especially Kate ... damn that girl ... I haven't forgotten about what happened in that meeting . But why the hell does that bother me ? He's nothing to me . Do you like this story ? ADD TO LIBRARY P P Chapter 4 : Catch up Of course , they are right . Ethan has always been ... a wonderful man , he must have a girlfriend , a beautiful one . I'd rather not think about any of this , I'd rather not think about Ethan Fairfax anymore .
