**CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO**
**Delilah**
"And then we danced on the roof, under the stars and the full moon", I fill Danielle in on my little 'dinner date' with Blake.
"And....", Dani presses with a grin. I bite my lips with a smile, trying to hide the blush from flooding my cheeks but failing miserably.
"We kissed", I admit softly biting my thumb nail with a tomato face.
"Finally!", Dani shouts waving her hands in the air as she squeezes me in a bear hug, cutting off my air supply.
"That's so adorable, I swear your life sounds like a movie", Dani saying playfully pouting her lips as she leans her head on her hand.
And she was right. I can't even believe half the things that happened to me, ever since I met Blake. I feel like I'm in a dream with the fear of waking up.
"We need to get going, you going to be late for your reversal", I state as she let's out a groan.
"You are going to give me every single detail", Dani squeals and I giggle.
"It was perfect", I state biting my lips at the thought of our little interaction.
"Is he a good kisser?", she questions all chirpy.
"Daniiii", I laugh.
"What, the guy's a billionaire. I'm just curious", she states.
"That's for me to know", I say playfully and she narrows her eyes.
"Awww come on Dee", she wines.
"I don't kiss and tell", I reply laughing as she playfully folds her arms across her chest.
We soon leave our apartment after her trying to get me to spill, which I did since she is my bestfriend after all, more like my only sister.
"Oh my gosh", Dani gasps.
"What's wrong?", I ask in a panic.
"I totally just thought of a shipname, how about....Bee", she says waving her hands in the air.
"Bee?", I let out a laugh.
"Yeah well we do call you 'Dee', so if we had a 'B' for Blake....we make a Bee", she shares her thoughts and I giggle.
"What you don't like it?", she poutes.
"We'll just have to work in it, besides it's not like we dating", I state with a little frown and Dani sees it.
"Yet", she adds placing a hand on my shoulder and I smile weakly.
"See you later, love you enjoy", I shout as Dani gets out the cab, before blowing me a kiss. I can't resist the urge to stare at the beautiful glass building. My cheeks turn scarlett at the thought of Blake's perfectly sculpted face entering those doors every morning, lightning up the entire building with a single heavenly smile. He might even be in his office at this very moment.
It surprises me when little tingles explore my stomach everytime I think about him. It's quite amusing to see the affect he has on me, even when he's not around.
"Mary's cafè please", I direct the cab driver and he nods.
We soon arrive in 5 minutes. I pay him and mumble a 'thanks', he nods before taking off.
I raise my eyebrow as I notice Albert not in he's usual spot under the tree, where he normally is like any other day.
I enter the cafè to be instanly greeted by Cole.
"Cole", I gasp as he lifts me up bringing me to his chest and squeezes the living daylights out of me.
"Good morning Delilah", he greets releasing me.
"Hey stranger", I return and he smiles faintly.
"Why would you say that?", he asks his voice much softer now.
"You haven't been around lately, what's going on?", I ask and he let's out a heavy sigh.
"How have things been ever since the break-up with Austin?", he asks changing the topic.
"Things have been tough, but I learning to move on. And stop changing the subject", I fire and he rubs his hand behind his head. A clear indication he's not telling me something.
"Cole, spill it", I say my voice coming out more as a demand.
"Cindy and I have broken up", he states and I let out a gasp, he's news clealy taking me by surprise.
"What, since when?", I immediately ask and he avoids my gaze.
"Cole answer me!", my voice raising in tone.
"A week", he says and I let out a dis-believe laugh. "Does Dani know about this?", I ask and he shakes his head 'no'.
"Cole you know you can tell me these things right?", my words coming out more like a statement than a question.
"Yeah, I just thought you had your own problems to deal with", he rumbles and I wrap my arms around him.
He stumbles back taken in surprise by my action but soon returns my hug. "I'm really sorry Cole", I apologize and he tightens his grip around me.
Suddenly the bells tingles, indicating a customer entered the cafè. "I better get this one", I say breaking from the hug and a wide smile takes over Cole's face.
A man neatly dressed in a fancy black suit, and hair neatly gelled to the back with a clean shaven beard, takes a seat at my counter.
"Good morning, so what can I get you sir?", I ask politely with a smile.
"A tall lattè please", he says in a deep raspy voice.
"Right away", I say making his coffee immediately.
"Don't recognize me, do you?", he asks and I fully examine his features.
I gasp with a full blown smile across my face. "Albert, is that you?", I ask and he nods.
"Look at you, looking all handsome", I state and he playfully brushes his shoulders with his hand.
"Yeah I figured I needed a change, so I got a job", he explains and I hand him his steaming cup of coffee.
"I'm so proud of you Albert", I say truthfully and he smiles.
"So what do you do, if I may ask Mr Albert" I ask mimicking a post accent and a heart warming chuckle escapes his from he's mouth.
"I'm a limo driver, it's not the best job but it's a start you know ", he states taking a sip of his coffee.
"I'm so proud of you Albert", I say again pleased that he's willing to make a change for the better.
"So who's the obnoxious boss?", I ask and he chuckles.
"Me", Blake's raspy voice fills my ears and I stare at him with instant embarrassment.
