Well to say I'm in shock is an understatement, the once small town I had left behind all them years ago is completely gone, now and then small remnants of the small town pop out to catch my attention, the odd shop front, flower shop, even 'Amandas Cafe' is still here, it's now more of a small city, but still growing at an alarmingly fast speed, tall business buildings stand close together like solders lining up for morning call, people in designer suits, carrying briefcases almost knocking each other off there feet, too occupied with whoever they seem to be shouting at on the other end of there phones, coffee and cake shops litter the streets, this, dare I use the word 'town' has changed so much, I continue through the streets as I make my way to Mr Banner's office, I finally arrive lucky to find a parking spot right outside the main door's, strange as there's not a single parking spot anywhere else.

Leaving my car I enter the building, the young lady at the reception desk gives me a warm smile as I approach her.

" Hi, I have a appointment with Mr David Banner this morning", still smiling she looks down at her computer before looking back up at me, " Ahh, Mr Young, I am sorry but Mr Banner has asked that you wait for him, he has been called to a very important meeting, I do apologise".

I frown slightly, I really don't want to be hanging about, " OK, ok, how long, how long is he going to be in this meeting, do you know ", looking around the waiting room, I feel the hair on my neck stand up, for some reason I feel like I'm being watched, I turn back to the receptionist when I hear her speaking, " Don't worry, he'll be about an hour ".

Turning I head for a seat by the coffee table, magazines stacked in two neat piles, and an old vase filled with some beautiful yellow roses and baby's breath, yellow Rose's have always been my favourite rose, I sit back in the chair and pull out my phone, it's ten past ten now, Mr banner should be back just after 11 o'clock.

I pass the time by reading on Wattpad I watch some videos on YouTube before going back to Wattpad.

I'm pulled from my own phone when the phone rings at the reception desk, she smiles at me as she picks the phone up.

" Hello, this is Mr Banners office, how may I help you ", she suddenly look's in my direction, her smile slightly drops and her eye brows frown, " Y..yes sir, " I look back at my phone and relies it's almost 12, time seems to pass so quick when your reading, " Yes sir, I will let Mr Young know right away, yes sir, I know where the keys are, Ok, bye sir ".

I look up from my phone as she approaches me, " I am sorry Mr Young, but..., Mr banner has been held up, he has asked me to give you the key's to your late mothers property as he will not be getting back to the office today, he sends his apologies and he will contact you as soon as he is free".

I feel my stomach drop and my throat go tight, " No, no, no, I can't stay here, I can't go to my mothers house, I already told Mr Banner I can't stay here but for a few hours, I only came to sign the papers, I need to leave" she gives me a sorry look.

" I'm sorry Mr Young, but there really is nothing I can do, Mr Banner will not be coming back to the office today", I try to give her a hard look, while trying to sound firm " Look, you need to get your boss back on the phone, tell him I am not hanging about, he can just send me the paperwork", with that I pick up my cardigan and head for the door, but I stop when the receptionist clears her throat, her voice taking on a new tone, " Please, listen to me, I'm new to this job, I've only been here a few days, if I let you leave like this ", she paused for a few seconds, a quick look of fear flies across her face, only for a split second, but I didn't miss it, " Look, please just take the keys and go the house, I promise I will chase Mr Banner for you, I'll get them papers for you I promise", just the look on her face has my soft side folding like a deckchair, " Ok, but I really need to leave in the morning, papers or not ", with this I take the keys and leave, heading strait for my car.

Opening the back door of my car I toss in my cardigan and shut the door, I take a moment and lean against the car, tilting my face towards the sky, I take a deep breath of the slightly chilled air, before lowering my head and covering my eye's with my one hand as I curled my other around my stomach, ' I really don't want to be here, I can't be here,' only now releasing the breath I had taken, I turn and pull the handle to open the car door when I suddenly here my name being called from behind me, my body freeze's at the unfamiliar males voice, slowly turning my eyes land on the man who had called my name.

Mr Banner.

" So, did she do as she was instructed, is he staying", I take a deep breath as I end the call with my secretary, Mr James had asked me to send her to him before Mr young was dew in town, she had only been in his office for but a few minutes, but when she had come out she was as white as a ghost and trembling all-over, she never told me what he had said to her, but by the looks it had been something to do with this Mr young, " yes sir, Mr Young will be staying but, " BUT, WHAT ", " but only for a few hour's", I find my self swallowing hard for not wanting to upset Mr James, I look up to the man sitting at the huge wooden desk, his eye's black as the day he was born, " That's fine, all I need is but a few hours to take back what is mine ", with this he stands to his full 6f 7in and makes his way to the changing room in his office, leaving me standing on the other side of his large dark walnut desk.

so so sorry for the long wait, with x-mas and everything else, I am sorry, so here it is, hope its ok xx
