"Dustin wake up your gonna be late"
I swear that boy could sleep all day long if he wanted to, but in a way I can't blame him
after all the unpacking we had to do...damn I didn't realize I was such a pack-rat.
Watching Dustin mumble and basically curse me out as he stumbles into the bathroom to
get ready is the highlight of this dull morning so far. I hope his interview goes well, he
really has a good eye when it comes to advertising and stuff like that....as for me I do
free lance web design and so far I have a couple of clients banging on my door so i'm
straight.....it's funny how my life has gotten to this point....don't get me wrong i'm content
and everything but I wouldn't have believed you if you told me I would be in this situation
a couple of years ago....the key factor in my life is missing....
"Thanks for waking me up heffa I will be back later"
"Good luck bitch"
"Thank you skank"
Dustin POV
I hurried out of the house and down to the bus stop.....this was going to take some getting
used to for damn sure. Opening my briefcase I looked at the picture of Chris that I took
from Tay last night. No I'm not in love with him or anything but I mean we are in the city
with one of the biggest damn libraries in the world and you can basically find the
whereabouts of anybody in there....maybe I could find Chris for Tay. Tucking the picture
back in I got off at my stop and entered into the large office building where I was greeted
by a big ass security guard.
"I'm going to need you to sign in please"
"No problem...goliath"
"What was that?"
"Oh I said I like your shoes where'd you buy 'em?"
I smirked as his expression let me know to move along, upon reaching the fifth floor I
informed the secretary of my name and she led me to a beautiful corner office. Wood
Floors, beautiful desk with a view of the city....
"Damn this is beautiful"
"Thank you"
I held back the girlie scream that almost escaped my lips as I turned to see a man behind
me extending his hand laughing..
"You must be Dustin"
"Yeah that would be me sir"
"Nah, none of that sir stuff i'm probably the same age as you, Call me Chris"
I damn near fainted when he said his name. It couldn't be, no way in hell my luck is not
that great and this city is way too damn big for it to be him.
"You have your portfolio?"
"Oh yeah"
I handed him my portfolio and sat in the chair in front of his desk as he skimmed through
it clearly impressed....I opened my briefcase and looked back and forth from the picture
in amazement....no way in hell this was him...
"Your work is hot"
"Thank you"
"I only have one complaint though"
Oh damn...
"What is that?"
"You gotta loosen the hell up dude"
I let out a relieved sigh as he shook his head, I didn't notice up until now that he was
wearing jeans, a track jacket with a white tee and sneakers...
"Yeah, we're really casual around here, only where suits when outside people are coming in....it's like family here. So welcome to the family"
"Really?!"
"Hell yeah"
I shot up and shook his hand until I thought it was gonna fall off, stepping back my
suitcase opened and spilled over and we both bent down to pick the stuff up...
"Nah Chris it's ok I got it..."
I didn't even notice him staring down at the picture....the look on his face was
unexplainable...a mix of sadness and joy...I watched as he picked it up and looked it
over...
"That is you?....I didn't wanna say anything-"
"How did you get this?"
"She's my room mate.....I took it because I was gonna look for you"
"Why were you looking for me"
"To let you know she still loves you"
"Dustin?....I remember you! She told me about you before when her dad hooked you up"
"That would be moi! But I mean....I gotta know this before I go any further. Do you still love her?"
"With all my heart"
"Why didn't you ever come looking for her?"
"You should work for the CIA"
"I'm sorry I didnt mean to step over the line"
"Nah your cool....I didn't wanna mess up her life. What if she was married and then here I come fucking things up"
"You know she said the same damn thing.....well shes not married and neither are you seeing as there is no ring in sight"
"Nah im single, no baby mommas or nothing"
"So you ready to get your girl back?"
"More than anything"
Chris Pov
Damn....I mean who would have thought this would have happened to me today. I
exchanged numbers with Dustin and sat at my desk staring at the picture of me and
Tay.....one more chance......
Chapter 3 coming tomorrow
