Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 39

I decided that I will take Aria, Maria, Zake and Eric to dinner tonight.

By the way, Aria and I are on bff terms now, apparently, she figured out her mistake on the night of the picnic, and Kezr and I told her what we have been seeing with Alex. She cried and said how she was the worst mom, but we reassured her that there is still time.

Alex is much happier now, the kid's got energy for days.

He visits me and whenever he does so, I crouch down to his level and he hugs me and kisses me. We even went to the park last week.

I called my friends and asked them to dinner and they all agreed.

Zake however, that man is a different story, he was so nervous on the phone, when I told him that Maria would be there too.......ah! Young love.

Iam going to play Matchmaker tonight, (if I find Maria, having the same feelings as Zake, cause I don't want him to be led on by Maria, unintentionally)

Just because my lovelife is non-existent, that doesn't mean I won't have fun with other's lovelives.

I sighed and ducked my head in shame.

When?... When will Kezr and I finally be like a happy couple?

Maybe I know the answer deep down, but Iam just contradicting my consciousness.

Iam heading to Mr. Boss man's office as it's 12.30 now.

I knocked on his door and he permitted me in.

"In!"

I went in and found Mark there. I smiled towards him and he smiled back.

"Hey Ella." He said greeting me cheerfully.

"Hey Mark, what'chu been up to?"

"Nothing, just guarding this big ass building with a boring ass single pringle life."

I faked laugh at his single joke which he makes everyday trying to tell me he is single, but I don't get why?

Kezr cleared his throat and I looked at him to see him glaring at Mark.

"Oh, sorry" he passed the papers to the Boss man.

Correction: A very angry Boss man.

Kezr snatched the papers from Mark's hands and flipped through the pages.

Woah, what crawled up his derriere?

He signed the papers and I punched the documents in the file, in front of him.

I turned towards Mark to thank him when Kezr said, "Rozella clear my schedule for tomorrow as we have a company ball to attend. I want you to assist me there.....as my assistant of course."

A ball? Meaning dress up?

"Really? I can come too?"

"Ye-" Kezr started only to be cut off by Mark's statement.

"Yeah, you have to go with your boss if you're his assistant." I saw Kezr clench his fists tighter than they were.

"I know that. Iam just really excited. I have never been to a ball before."
