《The Billionaire's Proposal》The Meeting
Advertisement
"Jane," A familiar voice states as someone gently pushes me. "Jane get up."
I groan and pull the sheets over my head. There is a sigh before I hear footsteps walking away. I smirk and snuggle into my comfortable pillow. I don't notice the sound of footsteps coming back and the presence in front of me until a freezing cold liquid comes pouring down my face.
"Ah!" I yell out as I quickly sit up in bed and I feel the water running down my face to my chest. "What the hell Adrian!"
Adrian just smirks and states, "You wouldn't wake up the nice way so I had to bring out the big guns."
I notice his state was on the drop of water rolling down to my chest.
"My eyes are up here." I stated as I pointed to my eyes with my index and middle finger.
Adrian just rolled his eyes and pulled the covers off me making my mouth fall in disbelief.
"Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" I fumed.
I was getting really tired of this rude asswhole standing in my room!
"Didn't your parents teach you to wake up on time?" He responded making me drop the covers back on the floor.
Low move Adrian!
"Get out now!" I ordered as a tear threaten to escape.
"I am sorry." Adrian replied as he finally realized what he had just said.
"Leave." Was the only thing I said as I pointed to the door.
Without saying another word Adrian left my room and I let out a long sigh.
"Breathe Jane, (sigh) just breathe." I repeated as I tried not to remember.
Once my anger was calmed I head towards the bathroom. I turn on the tap and strip out of my clothes before entering the warm water.
She works the night, by the water
She's gonna stress, so far away from her father's daughter
She just wants a life for her baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him (daily struggle)
She tells him "ooh love"
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you (stay up there, stay up there)
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life (straight)
You're gonna grow and have a good life
I'm gonna do what I've got to do" (stay up there, stay up there)

Rockabye, no (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye) (oh)
Rockabye, yeah, yeah (Rockabye-rocka-rocka-rocka-bye)
I hum the rhythm to the male part of the song before I start singing again.
Now she gotta a six year old
Trying to keep him warm
Trying to keep all the cold
When he looks her in the eyes
He don't know he's safe when she says
"Ooh love"
No one's ever gonna hurt you, love
I'm gonna give you all of my love
Nobody matters like you
So, rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry
Somebody's got you
Rockabye baby, rockabye
I'm gonna rock you
Rockabye baby, don't you cry (Bidda-bang-bang-bang, alright then)

I turn of the tap and wrap a cotton towel around my body. I head into my room and quickly get changed into a a white blouse, black skinny jeans, black and white patterned sweater, and red pumps. I place my hair into wavy curls before applying some light make up. Once I am done I head downstairs.
"Jane." Adrian states as I walk into the kitchen but I just ignore him.
He can't expect him to talk to him and pretend he didn't just hurt me by bringing up my parents.
"Miss Hamilton what may I get you?" Fernando asks.
I smile over at him and answer, "Scrambled eggs would be nice."
"Jane you can't still be mad at me." Adrian says trying to get me to talk to me.
"Yes!" I answered sternly as I take a seat on the island table.
Adrian let's out a frustrated sigh as he rubs his temples. I just roll my eyes and eat my breakfast giving Fernando a grateful smile.
"I'll wait for you in the car." He states as he walks out of the kitchen.
I poke the scrambled eggs with my fork and move it around the plate.
"Miss are you going to eat that?" Fernando asks.
"Uh yeah." I respond before taking a bite from the egg.
Fernando let's out a soft chuckle before responding, "If you aren't hungry you don't have to eat. I already packed you some lunch for later."
Fernando hands me my lunch bag and give him a grateful smile.
"Thank you." I reply before grabbing the lunch bag and walking out of the kitchen.
I grab my leather hand bag before waking out of the house and to the black awaiting limousine. The chauffeur opens the door for me and I climb into the limousine.
"Jane I am so-"
I hold my hand up and interrupt him, "Save it."
Adrian just nods before sinking into his seat. I let out a silent sigh as I stare out of the window.
***
The limousine comes to a stop at Il Piacere Italian restaurant. David opens the door for us and I am the first one to step out followed by Adrian. Adrian intertwines our hands before we enter the expensive looking restaurant.
"Good morning Mr. McKeller." The receptionists states. "Your table is right over here."
Adrian and I follow the man over to a quiet table near the fancy looking fountain. We were also able to get a wonderful view of the city.

"Here are your menus. The waiter will be attending you in a bit." The man explained as he set down the menus in front of us.
"Thank you." I state and Adrian just nods.
So rude! At least say thank you!
I kick his leg under the table and he looks up at me with questioning eyes and I signal him to say, 'thank you'.
Adrian rolls his eyes and sighs, "Thank you."
The receptionist nods before walking away to greet the new costumers.
"You didn't have to kick me you now." Adrian huffs as he rubs his leg.
"I didn't even hit you that hard." I snap.
"Oh so you can hit harder." He responds. "Nice to know. I should keep that in mind for whenever we are in bed."
Adrian winks at me and a smirk forms on his face as I give him a blank look. I kick his leg harder and he lets out a small cry.
"Asswhole!" I state only loud for him to hear.
Adrian suddenly stands up and that tells me that our "guests" are here. I stand up as well and turn around to find him.
"Adrian it's nice to see you again." Damian states as he greets Adrian first.
"It is nice to see you, too." Adrian responds blankly.
Damian turns towards me and a smile forms on his face.
"And it so nice to see you again, too Jane." He greets as he kisses my hand and I immediately pull it away and discreetly clean it.
"Hello Adri-" The girl next to Damian started.
"Mr. McKellar." Adrian interrupted.
A hint of anger and jealousy flashes through her eyes as she turns to look at me with a nasty look. I wasn't bothered by her stare since I've been receiving a lot of those lately.
"Have you guys ordered yet?" Damian asks as we all take a seat.
"No, we were waiting for you to arrive." Adrian answers.
"Well we should start by ordering food. We can't make important decisions on empty stomachs." Damian replies.
"Right. Honey have you decided what you are going to order?" Adrian's asks.
His name for me catching me by surprise but I recovered quickly and played it cool with a forced smile.
"Yeah." I respond not trying to sound nervous at all.
Damian's hard stare was making me squirm in my seat and I couldn't take it anymore.
"If you will excuse me I need to use the restroom." I excuse myself before walking towards my escape.
Once the door closes behind me I breathe in and let out a long sigh. I walk over to the the sink and splash some water on my face before retouching my make up.
"You can do this Jane." I tell myself.
I bite my lip before walking out of the bathroom only to be met by an ugly monkey that escaped from the zoo.
"Hello Jane." He stated.
"What do you want Damian?" I ask uninterestedly.
His body blocks my exit and I cross my arms in frustration.
"Have you told your fiancé about us?" Damian answers.
"There is no us." I snap.
"Come on Jane, as much as I want to deny it you can't. Remember how you used to scream out my name when I fucked you." Damian replies.
"Another thing added to my list of things I regret ever doing was sleeping with you." I spit out.
"Why are you with him anyways?" Damian asks. "For his looks? For his money? I can give you a life of luxury as well Jane."
"It's because of love." I answer. "Something you know nothing about."
"Adrian will never love you. He isn't capable of such thing." Damian growls.
"Look who is talking." I snap.
"I do love Jane and what I did to you, I regret each passing day." He replies. "But Adrian, he will never love anyone especially not a scummy waitress like you."
The next thing I know my hand makes collusion with his cheek.
"You don't Adrian like I do!" I fumed. "Stay away from me!"
I push past him and make my way back to the table were Damian's little secretary was all up on Adrian. He immediately pushed her away as he saw me storming their way.
"Jane, are you okay?" He asks.
Concern was visible in his eyes and I simply nod before taking my seat. Damian walks towards us holding his cheek.
"Ladies, gentleman your lunch is served." The waiter states as he walks over to us with our food.
I knit my eyebrows in confusion.
"I ordered for you." Adrian whispered and I give him a grateful smile.
***
"It would be greatly appreciated if you could invest in the company. You will of course receive fifty percent of the earnings and own half of it." Damian explained.
Adrian seemed in deep thoughts as he ran his fingers over his chin. The girl seated next to Damian was drooling over him and I just sat quietly hoping they would soon come to an agreement so we could leave.
"Okay, I will invest. But I want to have access to all the records of the company's earnings and purchases, as well." Adrian finally stated.
"Of course." Damian replied. "I just need you to sign here and here and the deal is sealed."
Adrian grabs the pen and signs the two papers before the two of them shake hands.
"Thank you so much." Damian states. "I guess I will be seeing you two at the wedding. Until next time."
Damian's glance caused me to shiver and Adrian seemed to notice. Finally Damian and his slut of a secretary left.
"I didn't like the way he was looking at you." Adrian states as we walk out of the restaurant. "You sure you only worked for him nothing else?"
"Yes." I respond.
I was already frustrated enough by Damian's little scene and I certainly didn't need Adrian to add on to the list.
A hand turns me around and makes me look at him in the eyes, "You sure?"
"Yea- okay no." I sigh in defeat.
"What do you mean no?" Adrian asked.
I let my eyes wonder somewhere else trying not to look at Adrian.
"I used to secretly date Damian." I answer. "But when his parents found out he dumped me and also got me fired."
Adrian's jaw clenched and his hands formed two fists.
"Why didn't you tell me this before!" Adrian growled.
"Because I didn't think it was relevant." I respond.
"If you had told me he did this to you then I wouldn't have signed that contracted with him!" Adrian argued as he ran a hand through his light brown locks.
"I am sorry." I respond as I look down at my feet.
Adrian let's out a sigh, "Let's just go home it's been a long day and you need some rest."
Adrian places his hand on my lower back and leads us to the limo.
