27- Teasing each other
“WHAT” Molly choked badly on her been. She covered her mouth with her palm and ran towards the sink
“Molly! Stop it. You are my friend and you are supposed to Well Leave it!”
But Molly was laughing uncontrollably clutching her tummy, “Abigail Seriously. How can you forget that code?”
Abigail was just sitting there pouting not looking at her friend, Then she picked up a fashion magazine and started going through it.
I can do this! I can ignore her. I should never have told her this.
“Abigail. I guess you ARE getting old.”
No answer.
“Abigail. What was Hunter’s reaction?”
No. I am not replying to her!
“Abigail. Only I am the one who knows your phone code. I can call Hunter and ask him myself about his reaction.”
“Don’t you dare!” Abigail smacked the magazine on the center table.
“Oh. I would dare. Your code is the same in your phone too!” Now Abigail wanted to throw something on Molly’s head.
“Shut up. No. It’s not same. It’s four. Three. Two. One.” Abigail said defensively.
“Abi! Did you do it on purpose? To spend time with him? In his penthouse? … On his bed!” Abigail gritted her teeth at that but did not reply.
When Molly did not stop, Abigail could not resist opening her mouth.
“Enough Molly.” Abigail’s patience was running out, “Keep making fun of me and I will go on a date with…” Intentionally she left it hanging…
“With Hunter? I knew it! Go by all means. Huh!” Molly hung out her tongue with in difference,“ Sleep with him for all I care…”
“Yes. I might sleep…” Abigail placed her feet on the table and started going through the magazine again, “With Rafael Wyatt, may be.”
“Excuse me! What did you say? Rafael Wyatt?” When Abigail did not give any response Molly plopped down beside her.
“Abi!”
“Yes, Molly Polly. You want to call Hunter? Go ahead.”
“No. You said something about going on a date with … Rafael Wyatt.”
“Did I? No. I said something about sleeping with him.”
Molly snatched the magazine out of her hand, “Come on Abi. Tell me. Is Hunter arranging a meeting with Rafael? They both are hotshots. Maybe Hunter knows him.”
“Maybe!” Abigail shrugged just one shoulder, “Because Rafael is his cousin.”
“WHAT! NO! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!”
Sitting on her comfy seat with her feet propped up on the opposite one. She was preparing an upcoming presentation when she heard a light knock on the door.
It had to be Hunter of course.
Because Molly would never visit without a phone call.
“Yes?”
She did not get up for opening it. The embarrassment of her password incident was still there and she was trying her best not to stay around him.
“Abigail. Open the door.”
“I am busy, Hunter.”
“Yeah, I know. Now open it.”
“I said I am busy.” She had closed the laptop now.
“Sugar. Don’t forget. I know the password. Now come out in five minutes.”
“Hunter!”
“And your time starts now.”
Closing her eyes she huffed and stood up abruptly placing her laptop on the couch.
“What is it?” She came out towards his dining area where he was putting plates and glasses. “Is Hunter Levisay cooking dinner?”
“No.” He smirked and looked up for a moment, “I ordered cheeseburgers. But I did not want to enjoy them all alone.”
Sitting on a chair she started pouring water for herself, “Today I could not see Ethan around. I hope he is not sick.”
“No. He went to the Manhattan branch. He needs to start the empowerment program there too. Once the hiring will be done. We will send you there for the final decisions.”
He came and sat in front of her, “Do you like traveling?”
“I love it. Would I get a hotel stay too?” She asked excitedly.
“We have got Sapphire Galaxy in Manhattan too. Almost a home.”
Then burgers were served piping hot with cheese oozing out
“How to eat them?” She felt awkward to see the hooping size
“Like this!” He opened his mouth and took a big bite letting the cheese drip down
It was not easy to shift her concentration from his cheesy lips.
Laughing at him she mustered the courage and picked it up from her plate taking a big bite just like he did.
Not only cheese started dripping but the beef patty also started slipping from the buns. With her full mouth, her eyes went wide making Hunter laugh. He stood up and brought a coke can to her.
Gulping it down with it seemed easier. When he invited her to eat the second serving she was horrified.
“No. You go ahead.”
She declined at once. After finishing his second serving when he stood up, she started heading to the kitchen to help him out with the dishes.
“Leave the dishes. The staff will collect it.” He said while switching on the Espresso machine.
“What are you doing?”
“Making coffee for you.” He smiled and then started taking out mugs from the cabinets. Abigail was observing him from the corner of her eyes.
He was not only handsome but also very desirable. He was her contract husband but Abigail had started valuing his friendship more.
“Even if we decide to divorce. I would like to stay friends with you.” Hunter’s hand got still for a moment when he heard her.
With a soft smile, he turned to her, “I am glad to know that.” He did not remark further and brought the cups to the table.
“You did not like me talking about divorce?” he was unusually silent.
“It’s inevitable whether I like it or not. But weren’t you interested to get back to your ex and sister?”
“I was. But in near future, I don’t think I will be meeting them any time soon. Except in the office. S o instead of taking these rash decisions based solely to show off someone who no more exists in m y life is foolishness.”
“Agree.” He placed the cup before her, “Here. If you want you can use the machine whenever you want. In my absence too.”
He offered her which brought colors to her face as expected.
“Really? Thank you, Hunter. But what if I mishandle it?”
“Then buy me another one. You are earning quite good.” He showed no mercy while drinking his coffee, “Plus I don’t expect you to harm it as it does not contain any password.”
