Nicklaus sat in the five-star restaurant having lunch in a private room, his face straight and aloof as usual. His guards were situated outside, not letting anyone go in.
Suddenly, he heard a fuss outside and then a feminine voice; after a few minutes, the door creaked open and Dan stepped in;
''Boss… '' Nicklaus lifted his eyes to him, creasing his brows. ''The president's daughter is here, she says she won't leave until she is given an audience. ''
Nicklaus paused, ''let her in. ''
Dan was surprised but he nodded quickly; ''Yes, Boss. ''
Claire was surprised when the door was pushed open for her to go in; she had not expected Nicklaus to agree to her request. It felt strange, but then she walked in.
Her eyes fell on the man by the window side, the sun radiating off his face; his exquisite features defined as he ate as though no-one had walked in.
What a al!
Claire thought as she walked towards him in slow steps, taking her ti to relish the sight. When she got to the table she sat down and crossed her legs, her lips up with a happy grin.
This man… does he know how much he makes her heart flutter?
''Since you have stalked all day, I figured that you had an important thing to say, make it quick, this is the last ti I'll give you an audience, you have five minutes. ''
Nicklaus spoke absentmindedly, not even lifting his eyes for a second to look at her.
Claire sat up on her chair, biting her lower lip, she had especially dolled up herself for him but Nicklaus had not even glanced at her, but she was more embarrassed with the fact that he had caught her n stalking him; she had made sure they were not noticed, how did he find out?
Claire cleared her throat, she had less than five minutes now, she better start talking.
''Nicklaus… I'm sorry for stalking you, but I really wanted to et with you and I knew you wouldn't give an audience; that was the only way. ''
She paused and when she saw that Nicklaus was not going to say anything, she continued;
''I really ant it, when I said I liked you. But I know it's a two-way thing, and I can't actually force myself on you, but I want you to give us a chance, if I don't et your expectations, we can end it, but I don't want to give up without even trying. ''
Nicklaus lifted his eyes to her for the first ti since she entered the room; his eyes stared at her as he lifted a napkin to his lips and wiped it;
''Are you done?''
Claire felt her heart skip a beat as his piercing eyes gazed straight into hers; she swallowed, lacking words to say;
''I… I… ''
''I'll make it short. I'm not interested in you, not now, and I don't think I'll ever be. So don't waste your ti and find soone else. ''
He spoke curtly, wiping his hands with another napkin; he picked his phone from the table and walked towards the door;
''Wait! '' Claire spoke, standing up shakily; no man had ever rejected her in her entire life. Wasn't she pretty enough? Or did he like another woman?
''Do… do you like another? ''
Nicklaus froze in his steps, his back clenched;
''We could be friends.'' She added imdiately, fearing that he would walk away; '' Let us just be friends, I won't bug you anymore, let's just… talk'' Before she could complete her sentence, Nicklaus had walked out the door;
Claire stared at the tightly shut door for a second before she slumped back on her seat, her eyes shutting briefly as she took in a deep breath.
This might actually be the last ti he would let her et him, but why does the urge to chase him increase the more?
Claire slouched on the table, a sigh leaving her lips;
Now she doesn't have a reason to et him anymore. He had rejected her.
What would she do?
Her lips pursed as she thought, how did she reduce to a man chaser?
…
''Gwen! Guess what?! '' Tiana exclaid, twirling about in the parlor with a piece of docunt in her hands;
''What happened? Did you get the new car? ''
''No, not yet, ''
''Tiana, you know I'm not good with guesses, what is it? ''
''Little sister, you're talking with the newest model in Californian City!!! ''
Tiana scread jumping around happily; she waited till she had signed the contract with Jo' Lapel before she broke the news. She didn't want to start rejoicing too early.
''You must be kidding right now!''
Gwen asked, her tone shaky, but Tiana didn't notice.
''I wish I was kidding, but I'm damn serious baby, I'm going to be a model Gwen! '' She exclaid happily.
''Oh my God!! Tiana! I'm so happy for you, when? How? ''
Gwen was confused; how did she beco a model overnight?
''Gwen, '' Tiana called sitting down on a sofa;
''I don't even know how to explain it, everything happened so fast. Leo, a fashion icon, he saw at a restaurant, and he walked up to and asked to sign with him, I thought it was so joke, but right now, I'm staring at my signed contract and I know it's not a lie, Gwen. I'm a model!''
''WHY IS EVERYTHING HAPPENING WHEN I'M NOT HO!! ''
Gwen exclaid, sounding excited, ''Tiana! You're really a model now? I'm going to see you on magazines?''
''Yes! Yes! ''
''Oh God, we need to drink to this! When I co back, we're going to party! ''
''Of course! I'm so happy Gwen! So happy! ''
'' too! Everything is becoming better, my sister is a model, God, I can't believe this! ''
Tiana laughed; '' you better start to, cause it's fuckin' real! ''
They both rejoiced happily; ''so how are you? do you like your apartnt? ''
''Yes, everything is great! My sister is the best! '' Gwen exclaid and Tiana laughed; she had spent a lot to get a comfortable place for her and got it furnished, even though she was staying for only ten months, she wanted her to be comfortable.
They talked about other random things before Tiana ended the call.
Gwen's smile faded instantly as the call ended. She held the phone to her ear for the longest ti before she raised it up and hauled it against the wall, sending it crashing into several pieces.
