Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(47)

“I’ll come pick you up.” He smiles and kisses my head.

We all say goodbye and head back to work. I’m totally not in the mood to work. My mind is swirling like a storm, I’m delighted that I got to see Spencer but I’m fuming that he’s spending the afternoon with his supermodel accountant.

“Stop frowning, you’ll get premature wrinkles,” Matt warns me.

“I know.” I sigh and flip through a booklet I received for the article on Valentine’s new nightclub.

“Is it because of the accountant?” Matt whispers loudly and dramatically.

“Yes.” Matt looks at me stunned. “What? There’s no point in hiding it, the whole restaurant could see it.” I throw the booklet back on the desk.

“You’ll always amaze me.” He chuckles.

“That’s a good thing I suppose?”

“Stop being a Debbie downer and smile. I’m pretty sure he came to that restaurant to see you.” He smiles sheepishly.

“What have you done?” I look at him in horror as I sit at my desk.

“Nothing, just instagramed that we were eating there today.” He admits, facing me and leaning his ass on my desk next to me.

“So you’re saying Spencer saw it and decided to come with his ‘accountant’ to the same place as us because…”

“I don’t know exactly why but yes, I think he did. After losing a few days with his best friend and with what happened last night, I’m sure he’d use anything as an excuse to see you and make sure you’re okay.”

That makes me smile. “Well when you put it like that…but she just doesn’t seem like an accountant.”

“I know, but why would they make that up. It’s not like you two are dating, he has no reason to lie to you.” He shrugs.

“You’ve got a point. What did you whisper to him when you bro hugged him?” I narrow my eyes at him.

“Nothing.” He smirks.

“Matt…”

“Haven…”

“Tell me.”

“Nothing important. I didn’t tell him that you were madly in love with him if that’s what you’re worry about. You’ll know in due course.” He grins, looking all proud of himself.

“God, you and your secrets! I hate you.” I cross my arms over my chest like a spoiled kid who hasn’t gotten their way.

“Now, I know that’s not true.” He walks behind me and hugs me.

“Whatever.” I scoff and hug the arm that’s draped across my chest.

“I knew you loved me.” He chuckles and kisses my head before making coffee for everybody.

That evening Spencer picked me up after work. We had a nice walk home, picked up some food from a deli on the way and settled in front of the TV for the evening. It was nice and relaxed and we were able to enjoy each other’s company without any drama for once.

I still don’t know anything more about what Matt said to Spencer, who wouldn’t tell me either, and it is doing my head in. Just like Matt, he said I’ll know in due course. I’m starting to wonder if those two are conspiring against me…





CHAPTER 16



Friday Evening

It’s five and I can finally turn off my computer. Thank God it’s Friday, this week has dragged. I tidy my desk and pack up my bag as I wait for Spencer. He still insists on walking me home whenever he can and I’m not about to complain, it’s nice to spend more time with him, but I live so close to work that I don't really see the point. I'm starting to think him and Valentine really did scare Adam off, or maybe killed him because I haven’t heard anything from him.

“Lost in your thoughts again?” Spencer questions, scaring the living hell out of me.

“Jesus! Are you trying to f*cking kill me?” I gasp as my hand clasp over my heart, willing it to calm down.

“No. Who would I annoy then?” He wraps his arms around me and kisses my head. “How was your day?”

“It was work. Yours?” I link my arm with his and we walk out.

“It was good. Finalized a couple of things with Marissa.”

“Marissa huh? The modelling accountant.”

He chuckles. “Still jealous are we?”

“You have to admit that she looks more like a model than an accountant.” I give him an 'are you serious' look.

“Yes, but she’s really good at what she does.”

“I’m sure she is.” He laughs and I glare at him. “It’s not funny.”

“It is. You were giving me hell when I was jealous of Valentine and now the roles have reversed.” He smirks.

I go to speak, but close my mouth because he’s right. “Okay, you’re right. I’m just looking out for you.” I shrug.

“I know.” He smiles at me fondly and we walk to the corner shop to pick up a few things for tonight. “So what are you cooking me tonight?” I smile rubbing my hands together.

“It’s good to see you smile again.”

“It’s still a bit painful but a lot better. So…Food?” I press him.

“Someone is getting hangry.” He smirks.

“You have no idea.”
