Chapter 5 - Sharing Words
Chloe Cage
You want to take me to a place like that?
Maven Jacobs
Y-Yeah. I'd pay for everything, naturally.
Chloe Cage
But that's expensive.
Maven Jacobs
Glad that I'm getting a huge Christmas bonus. So? What do you say?
I've always wanted to travel around. It would be wasteful to say no.
Chloe Cage
Sure! Anyway, let's get back to the party.
As we walked out of the room, a girl ran right into me, bumping my shoulder.
Maven Jacobs
Hey! Watch where you're going. Are you okay, Chloe?
He held my frail body in place, his strong arms keeping me on balance.
Chloe Cage
Oh, I'm fine. It was just a little nudge. Don't worry about it.
Maven Jacobs
I'm glad you didn't fall.
He then shot me the most charming smile as he laced his hand into mine.
Maven Jacobs
Come on, let's get to the party downstairs. People must be worried!
His hand seemed warm and his cheeks were starting to get red. Was he...
As we reached the hall, all of my programming colleagues were in the corner. Upon seeing me, they all nodded at each other and circled me in a ridiculous fashion.
Programmer A
Is that eggnog?
Programmer B
Why don't we go get some food, Chloe? Get away from all of those PR freaks, yeah?
You're acting like the freaks. Then, Prescott came up to me.
Programmer A
Are you trying to talk to our princess, pal?
Programmer B
LEEEEAAAVVEE! She isn't interested!
Chloe Cage
It's nice to see you again, Mr Prescott. What can I do to help you?
Prescott
This came for you.
Handing me a letter, he smiled and then left.
Chloe Cage
Why is Prescott delivering letters?
Maven Jacobs
Who is it from?
I opened it and read the one word on it.
I knew exactly who this was from.
Taking a pen, I wrote underneath it in cursive handwriting:
Chloe Cage
"Why are you not down here yet? The party is in need of an ice refill."
Sealing the envelope again, I passed it to Prescott.
Maven Jacobs
What was that about?
Chloe Cage
Oh, just a little bit of fun. Come on.
After an hour and a half of talking, laughing and my programming big brothers turning down any invitations for me to dance, I kept on receiving the same letter from Prescott.
Liam Nightly
"You are sarcastic, I'm glad to know. What colour dress are you wearing?"
Chloe Cage
"I'll give you three guesses and a hint. It's a colour of my favourite flower."
And just like that, Prescott left and came back only a few minutes later with a reply.
Liam Nightly
"You want to play games. That's interesting. Let me think. Pink for primroses?"
I giggled. Does he think that I'm two and a typical female?
Chloe Cage
"You have two guesses left. Another hint, this colour does not match my personality at all."
Liam Nightly
"As blue and calm as the sea. If I'm wrong again, then it has to be white."
I then looked up and saw him at his usual perch, looking down on everyone. I chuckled.
