Knowing she would probably not get any work done after noon, Mia tried to put her morning time into good use. After taking a bath and having her breakfast, She reached for her laptop and got some work done until about 1 pm when Hailey appeared with her niece, Adrienne, whom Mia was going to babysit.
"Hi, boo." Hailey pulled Mia into a hug the moment she opened the door.
"Hi, sweets." Mia returned the hug. Pulling away, She greeted Hailey's niece.
"Hi, love." She picked up Adrienne. "You've grown so big, Remember me?" She asked the four-year-old who nodded with a small smile on her face.
"Of course she does. There's no one related to me that doesn't know my best friend.
The plan was that Mia was going to babysit Adrienne but when Hailey heard that Colton was going to come over later, Hailey decided to take the little girl with her. She wanted Mia and Colton to have some privacy while they discussed their future.Colton eventually showed up at 4 pm. He was right on time. Mia opened the door for him, they both exchanged polite greetings, then She ushered him in.Locking the door behind her, Mia was thinking of how she was going to start the conversation with Colton. She was the one who invited him over so the burden was on her.Turning around, she bumped into a hard well. Well, not a wall per se, She bumped into Colton. She had no idea he was standing behind her as she locked the door.
Mia was having her morning coffee in her office when Hailey's call came through."Morning babe!" Hailey said."Morning sweets. You sound really excited today.""Do I? Anyways, how was your date with Colton yesterday? I had wanted to call last night but I didn't want to disturb you.""Hailey!" Mia groaned. "It wasn't a date! We just discussed.""When did he take his leave?" Hailey asked suspiciously."About 10 pm I think," Mia said. She didn't take note of the exact time that Colton left. But she knew that after he left, she took a shower, and by the time she got into bed to set he
Colton spent his morning in the conference room having meetings with representatives of various departments in the company. The meetings ended at noon after which he proceeded to his office. Stepping in, he came face to face with his mother. She was seated on the couch in the visiting area and had her attention on her phone. Colton slightly rolled his eyes. If only he knew his mother was waiting for him, he would have gone somewhere else instead of coming back to the office. Nonetheless, he shut the door behind him and proceeded to his desk area. ..... Seeing that her Son was around, Victoria kept her phone aside, then rose to her feet. She app
Ending the conversation with a worried mood, Hailey dialed Mia's number. It went straight to voicemail. She dialed the number again and it gave the same response.Sighing, Hailey scrolled through her contact list in search of Tessie's number. She dialed it immediately."Pick up the phone, Tess." She whispered after the fourth ring as she walked up and down her living room.After what felt like forever, Tessie answered. "Hi. Tessie. Is Mia with you or do you by any chance know where the hell she is?" She asked with a hand on her forehead."Yeah, She's with me," Tessie answered.Hailey heaved a sigh of relief.
"Good evening, I'm Colton. Sorry for showing up at this late hour. I'm here to see Mia.""So you're the one who has been giving my baby sister a hard time?" Tessie folded her arms with an amused look. She had no idea how he got her address but after all that had happened, she was glad he was here to see Mia. Him showing up tonight meant a lot, giving Tessie more reasons why she should approve him for her sister.""It's not what you think, Tessie. I didn't know that crazy bitch would go to her and say all sorts of things. I'm going to confront Natasha about it and I promise that such wouldn't repeat itself.""How's Mia? Is she okay?" He asked, sincerely concerned, which earned a small smile from Tessie.A
"You will see when we get there." With a small smile on Colt's face, he leaned over and placed a kiss on her nose. Then he started the car engine, driving towards the place he had in mind.Mia decided to trust him and not ask any more questions. Just like Tessie had advised, She decided to go with the flow and enjoy herself with Colton.Colt started a conversation a couple of minutes later "Your sister is amazing,""I know. I'm really grateful for her presence in my life. Since we lost our mom, she literally took up that role and had been taking care of me and my other siblings. I try to be there for her too because I know it's not really easy being there for us all.""I'm so sorry about your Mom." Colton took
"Dinner was delicious, Thank you!" Mia said as soon as Colton started the car."You're welcome. I was able to get Simeon to prepare something for us.""That was so thoughtful of you. I didn't have an appetite the whole day. Plus it was my favorite and was really delicious."Colton smiled. "Same here, I was too busy with work to think of food. I only had cups of coffee. I'll let Simeon know that you enjoyed his meal.""I would have recruited him to come to be our chef but my Mom will not let go of him."Mia chuckled. "I'm not surprised. No one will want to let go of an amazing chef.""I'
Mia was the first person to wake up. She opened her eyes to Colton's arm wrapped around her waist. She smiled. She also had her arm wrapped around his torso.She spent the first few minutes staring at his sleeping face and closely admiring his upper body. He was nothing short of perfection. He got the looks, the good and charming behavior, a great personality, the money, and the fame (not that she cared about that). He was indeed everything a girl could ever wish for.Mia showered his handsome face with a couple of kisses, caressed his cheek and hair for a while, then she decided to come back to reality, which was, getting ready for work.She gently released his arm from her and got down from the bed quietly. Once she got to the bathroom, She brushed her te
