So, you and Patrick made up, Steven rested his cheek on his hand and his elbow on the table, gazing at the glowing Penelope. Penelope gasped and turned to him, how did you know, she asked shocked with a wide smile on her face, well firstly you're grinning from ear to ear first thing in the morning glowing like the sun, and I saw you and Patrick hugging yesterday, Steven stretched and yawned. Oh you saw that, Penelope blushed, thank you for leaving me there yesterday, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now we're on talking terms again, she sighed in relief. Yeah, I knew you needed that, Steven stared at her longingly.
Oh come on Laura, you can't hide in the toilet the whole day, Estella explained. Laura scoffed and snickered, says who, I can even stay here for a full week, a whole day is nothing, she looked in the mirror and touched up her makeup. You sound ridiculous, you know you're the bosses right hand man, he literally can't function without you, I bet he's gonna come looking for you any second now. Oh please, just leave me be, he has a personal secretary so I bet he doesn't need me to function, she rolled her eyes and leaned against the sink. Ms Laura, Madine came in calling, Mr Wayne said to meet him in his office, she reported and left. Estella immediately bursted out laughing while Laura stared daggers at her, stop laughing, she yelled, I'm sorry I can't catch my breath, she held her stomach and slapped the wind trying to stop herself from laughing. Oh, Estella exclaimed as she wiped her tears while chuckling, did you see that, he sent his secretary to get you, do you believe he can't function without you now, or do you want a written letter, Estella extended her arm with a smile as if to give her something. Laura slapped her arm away, trying to fight the smile that was trying to form on her face, it's fine, go ahead and smile you, won't even have to work hard because he's already obsessed with you. I'm so embarrassed, she covered her face and paced around the toilet, how do I face him after yesterday, she whined. From what I saw, he thought you were cute when you said that, he didn't look angry at all, and that's a good thing. But I don't understand, what did he mean by, he'd like to see me try, doesn't that mean he's not into me, wasn't he mocking me, she complained. Okay that's enough thinking, go to him now, Estella held her by the shoulders and led her towards his office, as she kept trying to run away.
My parents have been talking about you nonstop since that day, and my sisters also really curious about the type of person you are, Steven explained while stealing short glances as he strolled in the park with Eden hand in hand. Really, she giggled, I guess I left a good impression, you can tell them I'll be sure to visit soon, you can come home with me today, Steven suggested. Oh no, Eden waved her hand while blushing in protest, I want to be prepared this time, I'll get a new outfit or tailor one of my moms diner gowns to my size, then I'll come over. I think you're beautiful no matter what you wear, but if you want to match up to our meal wear standards that's also cute, he blushed, happy at the thought that she wanted to look her best for his family. He whimpered as Penelope ruffled his thick curly hair with the tip of her fingers and called him cute. Last one to my house is a rotten egg, Penelope yelled and ran off giggling, Steven following behind her, enjoying the view of her beautiful pearly white smile, and her curly hair bouncing and flying in the wind when she turned to look back at him.
You took your sweet time didn't you, Laura felt tingly upon hearing that familiar cold deep voice which sounded so sweet and caring to her all of a sudden, was it because she liked him now, she couldn't help but wonder, it had been so long since she liked someone so she couldn't remember. Where are you lost, he snapped her back to reality by asking, Laura gasped, her breath caught in her throat as she snapped out of it to see Mr Wayne right in front of her staring down into her soul. She subconsciously took a few steps back almost bumping into the wall, she suddenly felt his hand wrap around her head and waist, preventing her from hitting the wall. Looking up, the were now face to face, heck, she could even feel his breath on her face, her breathing was all over the place, while his was calm and steady. Her heart pounded like it was going to jump out of her mouth, she stared into his brownish blue eyes, her hands clutching her chest, his arms still wrapped around her gazing into her eyes as if to seduce her.
It was like a scene from a movie, but how could he be so calm, she thought to herself amidst the flood of emotions. He probably doesn't like me, she came to a conclusion after brainstorming, as Mr Wayne leaned further as if to kiss her, she pushed him away and ran out of his office. Sorry, he called out almost to a whisper as she hurried out, he held his chest and felt his heart beating erratically, he barely managed to keep his cool. He sighed sadly, thinking he made her angry, I shouldn't have come at her like that, I scared her away, he said to himself.
Penelope rolled her eyes upon seeing Riele and the pick me's coming towards her and Steven in the halls, good morning Steven, she chirped at Steven who replied with a smile. Hey Penny, sorry about the other day, is your head okay?, isn't it a bit late to be asking that, and you can save your fake apologies for one of your minion, she sneered at them. Let's go Steven, she grabbed his hand and walked off, Riele practically steaming on seeing them hold hands. Why must they always hold hands like they're dating or something, she stomped her feet and whined.
Are you aware that that demon Riele likes you, Steven chuckled at how cute mad Penelope is before starting, I don't care if she likes me, I like you, and that's all that matters, he blushed avoiding Penelope's eyes. Penelope smiled at how shy he gets even after two years.
