[ HALLWAY ]
"Oh, good thing I met you here instead"Dalton said as he got to the hallway and met Annika almost entering her Office.
Dalton actually went out to run some stuff for his personal use.
"How may I help you, crazy jerk?" She jibed, and he chuckled.
"The name is Dalton, as in....the Dalton of the amazing scientist, you should call that name with great respect" Dalton said, proudly and adjusted his glasses well.
Annika just giggled inwardly, but rolled eyes at him.
"No, jerk. Don't you ever compare yourself with Dalton the great scientist"
"He's Dalton the great scientist, and you are....Dalton the great talkative, do not let these glasses deceive you, Geez!" Annika mocked, but Dalton started laughing instead of getting angry.
"Crazy as always, I actually thought you've repented" Dalton chuckled.
"Jerk!" She muttered.
"So, I asked you about Sana the other day, you said you'd get back to me when you're less busy, but you never did" Dalton said, feeling a little sad.
"Oh, yeah. You didn't remind me again, you know. Sorry...." Annika said slowly.
"It's fine....so, can I have her contact now? Or at least, give me her home address" He expectantly asked, smiling.
"Sure....,but wait, I want to ask you a question first" Annika said, smirking.
"Are you falling for my friend? Because you were the first person whose glass broke, and you never closed your mouth, neither did you stop staring at her back at the party.
And you've also been bugging me since then" Annika asked, and raised her brows funnily.
Dalton held his head and began laughing.
"Do you grow crazy everyday? Because you seem to be more crazy every single day I see you" Dalton said, and she giggled.
"Maybe, I do, but I'm not as crazy as you tripplet" Annika said.
"Triplet?" Dalton furrowed.
"Yeah. You, Disaster and Derek.
"Speaking of Derek, where is that jerk? Haven't seen him today" She asked.
"I am right behind you, Miss cray cray" Came Derek's voice from behind her.
"I'm outta here!" Annika said, and dashed into her Office immediately she turned and saw him.
Dalton and Derek burst out laughing hard.
"She's crazy as f**k" Derek said.
"Swears, including her friends" Dalton said and they laughed again.
[ MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE ]
"All hail the great CEO of all time" Derek derided the moment he saw Dexter walking into their Office. Dexter scoffed, then chuckled.
"The great p**sy Lord of our time" Dalton jibed, and Dexter rolled eyes.
"Dude, it's been long I actually saw him with a b**tch, maybe he's repented for real" Derek mocked, and Dalton laughed.
"No, maybe it actually because he's in love with Miss cray cray" Dalton mocked too.
Dexter slapped their heads hard, roughening their hair as well.
He placed his right hand on Dalton's head, and the other on Derek's. They both sat still in anticipation, and said nothing.
"I declare sense, great and excess sense into your skulls, right this instance. Receive!!" Dexter said funnily, and they both burst out laughing.
They were laughing so much that, Derek laughed until he fell off his seat, and all of them including Dexter laughed their ribs out.
"Serves you right, idiot!" Dexter insulted, still laughing.
"Dude! What was that all about?" Derek asked, trying to hold his laugh, but he just couldn't stop laughing.
"Forcing sense into your heads since you've refused to have it" Dexter rolled eyes.
"Shit! Man, that was crazy" Dalton said, and they laughed again.
"What's up....what's new?" Dalton asked after they laughed and kept quiet for a while.
"Guess what?" Dexter said.
"What!?" They chorused.
"I said guess, you jerks! Anyway, K.S.C GROUP OF COMPANIES wants to partner with me" Dexter said, and....
"F**k, man! Are you kidding? This is great news" They chorused again.
"I know, right? I feel good, you know?" Dexter smiled.
"You should, man. You're doing really well" Dalton praised him and he smiled.
"You will go higher places than this, I'm so proud of you, man" Derek said too, and he smiled again.
"We actually were talking to your baby a while ago" Dalton said.
"My baby? I don't remember telling any of you that I have a baby now" Dexter said, confusedly.
"Isn't Annika your baby anymore? Or you're done falling in love with with her already?" Dalton chuckled.
When Dexter heard them call Annika, there was this spark of light he felt in his heart, dazzling sweetly in there.
"Humph!" He chuckle, then smiled.
Dalton and Derek were looking at him like he just got hypnotized.
"What's he doing?" Derek asked.
"He's falling in love, can't you see?" Dalton answered.
"Idiots!" Dexter insulted, and they began laughing.
"You're in love with Annika, aren't you?" Derek stared at him intently.
"I am not only love with her, but I am deeply and madly in love with her" Dexter said,vnot regretting or ready to take back his words.
"Finally! He said it, but what about....
"I'll k!ll you if you mention that name" Dexter warned sternly.
"Zipped!" Derek said, zipping his mouth instantly.
[ DEXTER'S OFFICE *4:00PM ]
After Dexter left the Managing Directors Office, he walked around the whole building, checking everywhere and making sure everything is in place.
From there, he came back to his Office to have some rest since there was really nothing else to do at that moment.
I was not long after he sat down, when a knock came on the door.
"Come in" He said lowly.
"Good evening, sir. Here are the things you asked me to buy" The girl(one of his emloyees) walked in, greeted, and respectfully handed over what she bought.
"Did you get everything I asked you to buy?" He asked, and she replied with a bow.
"You can leave" He dismissed her immediately.
Dexter sent her to go buy fruits and smoothies for him, for Annika, actually.
He learned that eating lots of fruits during your period helps a lot. He learned that from his sister, Verity.
He stood up and collected the bag from the table, then heads for the door. Immediately he opened it, Annika came to view.
"Oh, hey...Disaster" Annika said, she was just about knocking when Dexter opened the door, and her hand literally remained in that position.
She groaned inwardly due to what she's feeling. She tried to hide her hurting face, but Dexter noticed it and shook his head.
"You didn't rest like I told you to, did you?" Dexter asked.
"I kinda did" She smiled sheepishly.
"Witch! Kinda?" Dexter rolled eyes.
"Have these, I just thought I should get them for you" Dexter said, handing her the bag of fruits and smoothies.
"Uhm, thank...you?" Annika said slowly. Dexter smiled and nodded his head.
She's super happy right now. That's what she thought of doing on her way home, but Dexter just saved her the stress.
She entered fully and...
"But why do you suddenly care so much about me?" Annika bluntly asked.
"I don't know. It's not bad to care about someone, especially one's employee,is it?" Dexter asked back.
"I...I guess not" She replied, smiling.
Dexter pocketed his hands, standing properly to stare at her crazy but beautiful face.
No matter how many times he sees her face, he never gets tired of seeing it.
He stared at her face, her beautiful sexy eyes, then her tempting lips that were screaming his name.
Annika was doing the stare too, but before she could open her mouth to ask why he's staring at her so much.
Dexter held her face tenderly, leaned closer and tilted his head to the left. His lips met with Annika's, and he captured her lower lip into a slow kiss.
