April ate the last bite then looked into the container she had eaten all three before she had even realised it. She closed the lid and licked her lips before she replied, "Have I not made you many meals? Don't be so stingy with your portions for breakfast. How was I supposed to know they weren't all for me?"
Although she was a bit feisty with her response her pale cheeks turned pink in response to him. Yes, she was sweet but her heart also had teeth when teased too much.
Dean who had wanted to tease her saw another fascinating part of her personality he enjoyed her banter. This also meant she was more comfortable with him around. His patience is paying off, he couldn't hide his smile.
There was that smile and dimple again, April looked away if every little word of his gave her butterfly's and along with the way he looked at her she didn't know if she would make it out alive.
Not long after that, they arrived at Walker interiors and Dean parked the car just outside the entrance. He turned to her, "Have a great day beautiful and remember dinner tomorrow at seven, I will pick you up."
April had just taken off her belt when she heard his words, she stilled. Could she not escape this devil?
"Thanks for last night, if I said anything... Ignore it. Also for this morning thank you, take care on the road... oh and don't play with your phone." She rambled a bit as she got out of his car escaping from his deadly smile.
"Sure beautiful." Dean's smile got bigger, he enjoyed her sweet care.
April heard him and could only shake her head, "Bye Dean." April closed the car door and walked into Walker interiors.
Dean watched April walk into her work, did she even know how many men's heads turned when she walked into Walker interiors, he wanted to hide her away from all others eyes. Soon I can call her mine he thought. With that, he drove to work wishing for more of mornings like these full of sweet feistiness.
April walked straight to the elevator and pressed the button for Michaels office. Getting out of the lift she didn't see a secretary so she headed straight to Micheals office to get her things and ask what happened last night.

April opened the door and entered she saw her boss Casey standing beside Micheal he then smiled at her. Did she interrupt something?
"Sorry boss." She apologized quickly.
"Call me Casey and don't be sorry." Casey replied then looked at Michael, "See you tonight."
Casey then walked out he had a blinding smile on his face and he closed the door behind him. April glanced at Micheal he smiled cheerily, he wore a baby blue suit with a white shirt and his hair that was usually styled was a bit messy.
Micheal turned to his desk and sat down he took out a comb and fixed his hair knowing his lover had messed up his hair again. He looked at the inquisitive cutie that stood in front of him and he grinned, he wanted to know how last night had gone.
"Come sit... Tell me about last night, oh and this morning too." Micheal's eyes scanned her body.
April sat on the seat opposite his desk, "How did I end up with Dean? Did I do or say anything I shouldn't have?"
Micheal nodded, "I see... I knew he would be a gentleman."
"Huh!?" April was confused.
"You were singing and Dean called, he brought you home as you live beside each other. You didn't say or do anything so don't worry, your quite honest and affectionate when drunk." Micheal reassured and teased her.
"Honest?... Affectionate?... I don't wanna know anymore what I said or did." April blushed, she had sung too. She decided to not drink again, it apparently made her act foolishly.
Micheal reached down and set her handbag on his desk, sliding it towards her.
"Thanks for looking after me and my bag." April took her bag and checked her phone, the battery had died.
"No problem, look whatever last night was about forget it." Michael started to offer her advice but she cut him off.
"Don't worry I am all good now." April smiled and reassured him.
"Good, it seems it was a good idea to leave you with Dean." Micheal nodded.
"It wasn't... It has nothing to do with him."
"Sure, whatever you say. But I have seen the changes in you, in you both." Micheal starter to explain but April stood up.
"I have to go start work. Thanks again, Micheal." April didn't want to hear about Dean, she had just stopped thinking of him.
"No problem." He would let her run, but he knew she couldn't escape her own heart.
April smiled and walked to the door then remembered Deans last words, "Don't forget tomorrow at seven okay, don't be late."f𝑟e𝒆𝘸e𝗯novel - 🅽🅽novel
Micheal nodded and April took that as he had agreed so she waved goodbye and walked out of his office before getting into the lift and heading for her floor.
She got on the lift and waited to arrive at her floor, a second or two later the doors opened and she saw all but Emily at their desks, she smiled, "Good morning everyone."
April greeted her co-workers before she went to sit down. She turned on her laptop and then took out her phone. She wanted to check a few things but it was dead. She looked around before approaching Aarna, "Hey do you have a phone charger?"
"Sorry I don't, " Aarna replied.
"I do." Sean stood and handed her his phone charger.
"Thanks." April thanked him.
"Getting all the boys eh!" Sophie responded.
April furrowed her eyebrows she was confused with Sophie's hostility and statement, "Sorry?"
"Oh, nothing, " Sophie replied before she looked back at her computer screen.
April smiled at Aarna and Sean before returning to her desk and charging her phone.
