Dion's pov

"So, if the inflation goes higher, we need to ... " I listen to the meeting.

My head lost in the thoughts.

My phone starts ringing. I see Caspian's name on the screen.

"Excuse me. I have to take this." I storm out of the room.

-

"Hello." I answer.

"Hi. It's Caspian. Do you have time?

"I left my meeting for you but im listening."

"Oh my god. What? I can call later."

"No, please. Just ... I'm glad I hear you again."

"Well, since you don't have time I will go straight to the point."

"Okay."

"I heard that you feel bad because I rejected you or something like that, but I don't even know when.

I'm sorry if you felt like I'm not interested. Ehm, i just didn't realize you were taking it further.

You said we are going out as friends. And I'm not the type of person to date after one meeting, Dion.

Sorry about that. I'm interested. I think so."

He is.

"I saw your text. The one you wanted me to delete. I was just laying in bed with fever.

I didn't text to anyone. I didn't want to bother you with my problems like this. And I also didn't want you to get sick from me.

I hope you are healthy."

"I am."

"So at least something. Now that I'm too, I'm calling.

To tell you I appreciate the flowers you send me and that you brought me medicine.

It was really amazing of you."

"I would be mad at myself for not doing it."

"I'm just very picky in people.

It's a burden sometimes. I have high expectations."

"You should have " i smile.

"Hm, we, I was thinking about your work and the court. You are right.

No one's life is just white or black.

I ... cheated on my lawyer finals too. There. We are both bad people."

I start laughing.

"Can we see each other again?"

I smile relieved. "Of course."

"But please finish your meeting "

"Only because you want me to."

"I'm sorry I made you sad.

I didn't realize we were both on ... different levels."

"No.

I got too excited because Asa and Reggie and so into each other."

"Please don't compare yourself to Asa.

Asa is the opposite of what a normal relationship is.

I'm serious.

As much as I love him, he's too quick on everything.

He would get married after two weeks if he could."

"I know. It's all fine. I will take you to a private place to eat.

He said you don't like crowded places."

"You know? Oh. Thank you. I should get ready then.

I didn't expect that."

"I'll pick you up at five forty five."

"Hmmm, maybe I'll be ready."

I bite my tongue. "Caspian." I warn him.

"Go to your meeting. Now " he ends the call.

I feel all kinds of emotions. Pure happiness that he wants to see me again.

Embarrassment that I felt rejected when it was BOTH of our fault in communication.

My ego jumping up and down because he's so disobedient and mocking.

And annoyance because i have to he in this stupid meeting.

I can't wait to see him again.
