My five husbands by Loren rivera (classic novels for teens TXT) 📗

Rosie: Yes dear, everyone is here, we were just waiting for you. 

Nora: Well, it's not good to keep the others waiting especially the guests. 

         We walked into the meeting room. I stopped in my place when my eyes met the most hottest person alive. 

Daniel's POV: 

             I was waiting in the NGO for the meeting. The one thing I don't like is to wait. And second of all, I am doing them a favor, so they should be waiting for me, not the other way round. It's just that rosie, who runs this NGO is a good friend of mine and when she asked for a favor, I couldn't decline her. Her NGO is working towards building an orphanage for the children and she wants me to prepare the design and take the contract. When I said I would do it for free, she was delighted. It is for a special cause, having no parents myself, I know first hand how hard it can be in this cruel world. So it's good to know that some kids might find someone where they will be home, where there will be someone they can rely on, someone who loves and takes care of them. The only reason I agreed to take the contract was the reason that it was for a orphanage. 

           Rosie is pissing me off. It was the weekend and here I am working on the day off because the financial manager only works on the weekends. People should take everything they do seriously. I checked the time again. Its 5 minutes past the meeting time. 

         If they don't arrive in one more minute, I am gonna leave. We can arrange the meeting when the financial manager is available. I looked at my assistant who was already looking at me. I got up from my place ready to leave. 

          Then she entered. The second I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine. My heart stopped beating for a second when my eyes met her. She was also looking at me. Now I understand all the stories my mom told us about. When you see a person and see your whole world in them. I knew, I knew at that very moment that she was the girl that was going to change my life. 

          And then rosie entered behind her pushing her little to take her out of the daze. 

Nora: Sir, please sit down. I am so sorry to keep you all waiting. 

Daniel: No need to apologize, sweetie. You can call me Daniel. 

Nora: Mr. Daniel, I am Nora. I suppose you are the architect. 

          I nodded unable to say anything. I sat back down in my seat. And then she started the meeting. She showed us how are we going to manage everything. Where the funds are to be used and everything. The whole time she was speaking, I was in a kind of daze. I didn't let my eyes wander anywhere, just on her. Even when rosie was speaking, I only spared her a glance or two,I kept my eyes on my sweetie. 

          She also looked at me at times but averted her eyes when she was I was already staring. When the meeting finally ended, my assistant nudged me in the side to say that the meeting was over. And everyone walked out. I stayed behind to discuss a few things with my assistant. After going over everything with him, we walked out.

         I saw rosie in a corner talking with my sweetie. I walked towards their direction. They hadn't noticed me yet. I heard they were talking about something in a hushed tone. 

Rosie: See, I told you almighty has better plans for you. He sent daniel in your life, the most sexiest man alive. 

Nora: He is sexy, but...

          Damn, she thinks I am sexy. Before they could say anything further, rosie noticed me. 

Rosie: Oh daniel, thank you so much for helping us and that too free of cost. Send my regards to your brother. 

Daniel: Oh come on now rosie, you have already thanked me enough. And moreover I know what it is like to have no parent. 

         I heard her gasp beside rosie

Rosie: You will always have me,dear. I have to go now. 

         She left leaving me and my sweetie alone. She was fiddling with her hands. 

Nora: Um, thanks for your help. And sorry for your parents 

Daniel: Not you too sweetie. 

Nora: Oh, I am not pitying you, I know what it's like being an orphan. 

          My sweetie also grew up alone. I hope that she did not face much difficulties. 

Nora: Well, it all turned out for the best in the end. 

Daniel: Yeah. Would you like to have dinner with me sometime? 

          Damn, that's a first. I have never asked a girl out. I know it was all of a sudden but seeing her, I cannot wait anymore to know more about her.

Nora: Um..uh. I am kind of with someone else. 

Daniel: Oh sorry, I did not make myself clear, have a dinner with me to discuss more about the new orphanage. 

          Damn, she's with someone but atleast I can get to know her a little. 

Nora: Oh, okay. Sure, I would love to. 

          As soon as she finished her sentence, I saw an angry man walking towards her. He seemed somewhat familiar but I did not care. He was walking towards my sweetie. Before he could reach her, I stepped in between them. 

John: Move. 

         He said in an angry tone but I did not step aside. I heard her whimper behind me. 

John: Nora, tell him to move aside. 

        Her hand touched my shoulder and I looked behind to look at her face. She gestured me that I could move. 

John: You, you bitch, he is the reason you come here,huh. Despite having a boyfriend, you still flirt with others. 

          I slapped the shit of piece who was shouting at my sweetie. How can he? She is mine and no one is allowed to shout at her, no one. I was ready to beat this piece of crap when her hand caught mine. She shook her head in negative, pleading me with her eyes to stop. So, I did. I just stood there. I would do anything for her and I mean anything. 

John: Nora, if you are not in my car in 2 minutes, you will see the worst of me.
