Rodney Shaw's Pov
  I hummed to one of my music album, while stepped out of the bathroom, dripping wet. A white towel was wrapped around my waist.
I strode to where the dressing mirror was standing to check my gracious self out.
I stood in front of the mirror, taking in my perfect abs, my curly dark hair, that cute pink lips any lady would kill to have a taste.
So perfect!
"Why are you so perfect?" I asked myself. "It's because you are exceptional" my subconscious mind replied. "Thanks buddy" I told him and smiled.
After a brief while, I was done dressing and ready to leave my room when a knock came by.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"It's Marian, sir" A maid replied.
"I came to tell you breakfast fast is ready" she added.
"Oh.. I will be there in a jiffy" I told her and she left.
I gulped down the rest of my coffee and stepped out.
    I  was replying a message on my cellphone when the gatekeeper walked up to me and bowed a little before speaking up.
"Mr Rodney, that woman is here to see you again" He announced.
I stared at his face, which woman was he talking about? I was still wondering who the woman could be when her image suddenly appeared.
I frowned instantly,hoping she's not the woman he was referring to.
"Where's she?" I asked him.
"She's outside the compound, sir" He replied ,politely.
"Let's go" I told him and quickly walked ahead him.
Anger laced through me immediately I saw her standing in front of my gate.
She's here again?
This early? Isn't she tired already?
"What are you doing here?" I grunted.
"Son..." She was saying but I cut in rudely.
"Don't you ever call me that again!" I shot at her ,fiercely.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have a son here? huh!" I yelled.
She just stood there crying profusely but I care less.
She wiped her tears as she moved closer, she tried touching me but I stopped her with my hand.
"Rodney, I know you are very mad at me. And of course you have the right to be pissed at me but all I want from you is just a chance, I need you to hear me out son. It was not my fault, I wouldn't just leave.." She was saying again but I interrupted her.
"Listen and listen very good woman, the next time I see you ten feet away from my house, I promise to have you lock up and I mean it"I threatened sternly and walked back into the garage, where my car has been opened by my Personal Assistant- Henry.
   "We are here, sir" Henry announced jolting me out of my thought.
I didn't even realized the car has halted.
That woman has succeeded in ruining my day already, I don't wanna ever see her again but she wouldn't listen.
I groaned loudly with an eye roll.
I stepped out from the car and my eyes widened, instantly.
"What the heck?" I grimaced.
"Why would Mr Houston hold a meeting in such an absurd area?" I asked my PA with total disgust.
I was still looking around, contemplating if I should use a facial mask so that my identity would not be revealed when a clumsy girl jumped on me out of nowhere, embracing me tightly.
I furrowed my eyebrows.
Was she out of her mind? I thought.
Henry was even trying to pull her away from me but she didn't move.
Okay.
I had enough already.
With all the strength in me, I pushed her and she landed her butt on the floor.
Is she crazy?
Why would she jump on me like that?
I stared down at her and she equally kept the gaze.
What a girl?
I adjusted my suit and walked away with Henry behind me.
I was welcome by all the board members of the company.
It was so obvious Mr Houston was honored by my presence.
But he should be grateful to Dad cause I wouldn't be here if he had not persuaded me to.
"I am so glad you could make it, Mr Rodney" Mr Houston said for the umpteenth time while walking me out of the company.
"You are welcome" I said with a smile.
"But hold on.. Why would you held a meeting in such an unpleasant area? "I stopped walking and asked.
"I am so sorry Mr Rodney, the meeting was not planed well initially like I told you, and you know the company is also occupied, so I suggested this hotel." He explained.
"The vicinity might look local but the hotel isn't bad right? " he added.
But I only shrugged- I wouldn't deny the fact that the hotel looks magnificent anyway.
I continued with my walk with Mr Houston beside me.
We got to where my car was parked and Mr Houston won't stop thanking me.
We shared an handshake before he walked away.
I sighed deeply and was about entering my car when I glanced up and saw a familiar face from the transparent door of the coffee shop.
"I've seen this face before" I muttered.
"Yea.. She's the same girl that jumped on you this morning" Henry said beside me.
"Oh"
Let's have some fun then!
I walked towards the glass door with Henry trailing behind me.
I pulled it open and yes!-She was truly the clumsy girl.
She works here?
All eyes on me but it doesn't matter, I am only here because of this lady.
She came out of the counter and our gazes locked.
Instantly, she became frightened.
I counted my steps to where she was standing without removing my gaze.
A blonde girl was also standing beside her, she was also staring like her life depends on it.
With my hands in my pocket, I watches her naive face for some moments. She lowered her head as she couldn't look up at my face.
"Get me a cup of coffee" I finally ordered and she flinched.
She quickly scurried off with her partner.
Within a sec she was back with the cup of coffee.
And the game begins... I smiled inwardly.
"Who asked you to bring my coffee?" I asked her, bluntly.
"But..you..you..ordered..for..a cup of coffee" She stuttered and I scoffed.
"I am not denying it, but I didn't ordered it from you I was talking to your colleague, not you" I said and I could see the disappointed look on her face but who cares, I just wanna have some fun.
"But don't worry since you are a die hard fan, I would just over look it" I told her and her face brightened a bit.
I sipped a little from the coffee and I spat it immediately.
"You added salt to my coffee!" I half yelled and
I watch as everyone gasped in surprised.
"No.. no I didn't do such, I swear" she replied shakily.
"You know I can sue you for this right, where's your manager?" I demanded, spranging on my feet.
"Please.. I am so sorry I will get you another cup of coffee right away but please don't do this" She replied trying to fight back her tears and I almost laugh.
I almost laugh at her clumsiness attitude, she should just have a taste from the coffee and face me squarely for pulling her legs.
So clumsy.
"Alright, I won't report you " I told her before she
would flood the entire place with her tears.
"But don't try this with me next time, okay? " I told her with a cold voice and she nodded curtly.
I adjusted my suit before walking towards the door.
I glanced back and met her gaze and I couldn't help but wink at her before I finally walked out of the coffee shop.
I heard the customers applaud and I smiled.
"What a day?! " I said with a deep sigh.
•Tamara•
"Today was absolutely one of the best day in my whole life" I screamed happily along the pedestrian lane and the few people around glanced at me.
Whatever.
I couldn't stop recalling that moment with Rodney Shaw.
He was so sweet.
At first, I was frightened by his presence.
I almost developed high blood pressure when he had said I added salt to his coffee.
Jeez!
I cried because of that? -Funny!
I still can't believe I fell for his prank.
Uhmm...
Looking forward to meet him again- very soon.
Shortly, I was home.
I stepped into the dark living room and was trying to find my way to my room.
"Welcome home, princess" I heard his baritone voice and I flinched.
Holy Jesus!
