Gardener

Angel was having a hard time in stirring up a conversation after the awkward lunch they had earlier. She couldn't bring herself to look him straight in the eyes, she could feel her skin heating up because of his intense burning gaze on her , 'f***k' ! how they hell is she going to cope with this guy with her being this way ! . When did she become a mute ?

This is not just happening right ! how did she got here in the first place? Being in the same room with this infamous CEO, sharing the same air, and eating together for heaven's sake .

The room became stuffy all of a sudden for Angel she read one article thrice because of her emotions not been in check, she dare not look up because of her fear of being mesmerized by those beautiful hazel eyes staring deeply into her soul.

Elliot couldn't tear his gaze off her , she intrigued him without knowing , in his twenty seven years of existence this woman has been the only one that prickled his interest , making him feel inferior about himself, despite him being with her for three hours now she didn't even bother to talk to him, busing her self with work and not sparing him a glance.

Any other lady would jump up at the idea of having lunch with him , but she , flinched when he was invited to lunch . He bet that if it wasn't her mother that invited him , she wouldn't even budge .

He thought she was going to ask him questions, he thought she was the inquisitive type, it seems he was wrong about her again !

Walking towards her balcony he couldn't help but admit it was breathtakingly beautiful , the view of her garden decorated with flowers of different kinds speaks nature to him .

The garden reminded him of someone so dear to him , someone that he couldn't protect because of how weak his was back then, he wished he can turn back time, he failed her because of his weakness.

When he watched his mother being laid down into the earth for burial he vowed there and then to become strong , he didn't look back till he became the world youngest CEO with chains of companies in and out of the country.

Angel watched Elliot's silhouette strolled to her balcony leaning on the railings with hands and his back faced her . Staring at his broad back , the suit he wore couldn't hide his well toned muscles , ' She can tell he frequents the gym and he takes his physical fitness very serious .

She felt her cheeks heating up when she noticed he has turned round and now faced her, with his hands tucked stylishly in his pants pocket , and those mesmerizing orbs staring deeply at her.

Gosh ! she knew he caught her stares and a small smile now tugging at his lips, he grinned wickedly at her .

Covering up her embarrassment she broke the silence that has been lingering for a while now.

" Seems to me like you take a fancy to my balcony, ...' or should I say garden?".

There she goes again with the teasing , this woman! she always turns the table on me , damn you Angel !! ' he can't help but visualize himself conquering this tigress in bed.

". you guessed right , I mean who can tell that this overbearing Lady has a garden as beautiful as those." with the way the are blooming am sure you do tend to them personally".

" But you don't look like a gardener to me, how can those manicured nails be tainted with the soil and still look so beautiful?" he asked without minding if he sounded inquisitive.

" I didn't know you are this good with words ". abandoning her article she has been holding she folded her arms below her chest and replied him avoiding his questions on purpose.
