"You should've asked me to fetch you or come to your unit. It's late, Raine," there's a slight irritation in Pierre's voice.
I know he's overprotective but I can manage! I'm not going to go here if I didn't, duh?
"You know, you're just exaggerated brother. Nothing will ever happen to me,"
"Look how confident you are," His voice were cold.
"C'mon bro. I'm fine!"
He rolled his eyes. "Sit."
What the....
What does he think of me? I'm not a freakin' dog! He's being so grumpy just because of that, God!
"Okay, next time I'll ask Noah to drive me here instead.." I pursed my lips. He's such a pain in the neck.
I've heard his heavy sighed. What again? "You can ask me too, Raine. I'm your brother."
"And you're super busy! I wouldn't dare to disturb you. I care for you and I think you should also get some rest."
"Alright. Don't mind me, let's just talk," He said like he wanted this to end now.
He gestured me to sit, so I did. Nothing changed in his unit. It's still the same like the old times. Although the arrangement of furnitures was a bit different now. I think he switched to other furnitures.
"Your unit is quiet...big.." I'm still amazed whenever I go here. I love plain and clean things.
Pierre's really careful with his things.
I even stared at the wall that was painted to well. The combination of white and dark gray on its edges looked so damn beautiful. You can easily determined that a guy was living here because of this.
"I can buy you one if you want..."
I'm still adjusting to the situation and I don't think it's the best for me to move to another unit. Besides, not because my family's rich I'm going to just change what I am before. We can slow it down until I finally adjusting to it and finally been able to accept the fate that was waiting for me.
I glanced at him. "But I know you'll refuse so."
"You really know..." I chuckled.
He just pouted and his face went blank. So cold. "I'll get you a drink."
He stood up and went to the kitchen without even asking me what I like. Well, I'm not that picky so I'll just drink whatever he gives.
One thing that I noticed about Pierre, was the fact that he's so patient to me. He's known as the cold and snob on our school before and based on his personality he wouldn't even dare to be patient on something that's not worth his time..
And the fact that he's my brother were really interesting. I even remembered that I used to have a crush on him. Eww.
"Here," He gave me a cup of tea. I didn't like teas that much but I'll just drink it so he wouldn't feel bad.
I took a sip on it at first and pouted. He's so serious that it would bother someone who'll ever look at him. I now realized where he took it. Mom has the mysterious look while her eyes looked cold. Same as with Drake who also take after our mom. Compared to me and Sebastian, we're really that attitude of shy but noisy when our family or friends are around.
Well, I don't really mind being the craziest among us because I know I'm not really that quiet normal sometimes.
"I wanted to ask if I ever accepted your offer, what position do I get in your company?" I asked.
"Our company." His eyes pierced onto mine.
I pouted and nodded.
"Fine, our company." I rolled my eyes.
I'm still adjusting to it and I'm not really that knowlegable about this kinds of things. I don't even want to use as my way of success in a short period of time.
"We can give you the position of web designer since you wanted to work on your own path.."
There... Pretty much like! I really wanted to start at the bottom. That way I would really felt the relief inside me that I really work hard to achieve my dreams..
"I wanted to be a developer but since it's web designing, I should at least give it a try,"
I wanted to be a web designer too, because I think it's cool and challenging. And now that I finally get the position of it, I should make an effort to be better on that field.
"You can be a developer too if you really want. We can give you an convenient way to become like that.."
I immediately shook my head. "I wanted to focused on this first. It's challeging me, really."
"That's good then. You can start next week,"
"Why next week? Can't I start tomorrow?"
His brows furrowed. "That sudden?"
"I don't have that much things to do, though." I shrugged. "It's better to start now.."
"I'll still have to process your papers first, Ms. Scottz. I'll just notify you if everything's good,"
"But--"
"Stop being stubborn." He cuts me.
Fine. I can understand though. I just wanted to tell him that I don't want a special treatment. And I also don't want other's to know that I'm the owner's daughter. I know what will happen if they ever knew about it.
"Can I request something, then?" I bit my lower lip.
His brows furrowed. "Go on."
"Can't you tell others that we have a connection? I didn't want to be uncomfortable with it."
"You shouldn't be bother by it, then. Everyone will eventually know, Raine.."
"I don't want others to know for the mean time, Pierre please.." I made a puppy eyes. I hope it would work.
I just don't want other people feel uncomfortable around me. I can easily hide it since I still use my dad's last name.
"Fine." He sighed. "May I ask something too?"
I was startled but I immediately nodded. "Anything," I smiled.
I feel a bit bothered by it but I know he's just going to ask something. It's not something so serious right?
"Do you have any option before? I mean, before you got an offer with our company?" He asked. Oh, that...
"Yeah. I actually wanted to work on Edward Evan's company since I once work there as an intern. I enjoyed the environment and the works there.. When I finished my internship, I've decided to consider it as one of the company that I'll apply once I graduated.." I remember when Edward said that he's looking forward to see me again. If really fate would bring me to their company, it's not that bad to work with them.
"Our company's better than them, though." He shrugged. "Still wondering why that school choose that company to train you people than asking us.."
He seems like he still can't move on about it. My brother's a bit annoyed, I guess..
"But why didn't you apply there, then?"
My face heated, I know my reason wasn't professional but.. "Things got awkward between me and Edward since he used to have a feelings for me.." I looked away. I feel so embarassed, shit.
"You should be professional, Raine.." He pursed his lips, shaking his head.
I pouted. "I know, but... It just doesn't feel right.."
"Alright. If that's what you want.." He smiles. "I know you're protecting Noah's heart too."
He smirked when I immediately turned my eyes to him. My face heated because he really hit the spot. Noah's part of it too, yes. He's jealous with Edward, I know that. He's that possesive of me.
"I should go now." I stood up and he also nodded.
"Be careful. Text me when you get home."
"Alright, bro." He hugged me and walked me towards the door.
"I wanted to hang out with you sometime. Can you leave a time with your brother?" His voice were so soft.
"Sure! Just text me when you're free."
I headed towards the elevator after that. Pierre also wants to walked me until the lobby but I immediately refused. Just by looking at his face ealier, I know he needs a rest. My brother looks so unhealthy these past few days. I wanted to help him but I know, he'll only tell that I need to fill his offer first. I can't do that.
When I checked the time, I still have some time to visit Noah since it's not that far from our apartment. I suddenly missed my baby...
I looked at myself at the mirror first when I
stopped at the parking lot. I felt relieved when I'm still fresh as I scanned my face. I just retouched my liptint and went towards the lobby immediately.
I don't know but I'm just smiling the whole time and when I reached his unit, I immediately pressed the doorbell.
I fixed my hair again for the last time. I'm so excited seeing him again. Shit.
"Who's there-- R-raine?"
I immediately pushed him inside his unit and kissed him. He was pinned on the wall while I'm kissing him. I also placed my arms around his neck to pull him closer to me. God, I miss him so much.
I grabbed his hair and stroke it rashly and I can feel the he likes it. It feels really good kissing him again. I can feel that he missed me too.. That he missed doing this with me.
Shit, Noah.
I smirked when I felt his tight embrace on my waist. He's just so hot right now, I can't help kissing him as soon as I saw his after showered face.
"Damn it, Raine..." He cursed and placed me on the couch, kissing me aggresively.
