Troubling

Brendan’s P.O.V.

I can’t believe the nerve of this woman! She’s lucky I even looked her way! How dare she spray me with a nozzle!

“Dude what happened to you!?”

“She sprayed me with a nozzle.”

Noah tries to suppress his laughter but can’t.

“Did the great Brendan finally get rejected!?”

“Whatever.”

I decide to head on home as it’s freezing out and I’m soaked now.

When I finally get home I head straight to the bathroom to take a warm shower. My thoughts keep circling around the woman at the pub. Beautiful no doubt, but I’ve been with plenty of beautiful woman no price too low nor too high as I am an eligible bachelor with plenty of money and good looks to boot.

Even though I have all of these things something seems to be missing but I’m not sure what. I have everything I’ve ever asked for or obtained my own way. My parents always gave me plenty of love and affection and they have always been deeply in love with each other.

As I get out of the shower I can’t help but wonder about that woman still. She seems confident but an underlying sadness stays in her impressive green eyes. She seems almost scared of the world but maybe I’m putting too much thought into this.

I get dressed and walk around my now empty two story villa. Decorated in neutral colors mostly black with a few decorative pieces here and there.

As I watch the rain pound from outside I decide to call my assistant to investigate her. I know I can make her regret embarrassing me and denying me. Maybe this is he fulfillment I need. To finally have a challenge for once instead of an easy win.

I smile to myself as I picture my awaited victory.

Noah comes over later as he’s my best friend. We’ve been through everything together.

“What’s going on with you?” Noah asks.

“I’ve decided to play a game and let that woman know exactly who she messed with. I’m going to make her regret embarrassing me.”

“Oh... shall we make it interesting?”

“What do you mean?”

Noah smirks mischeviously. “I mean, let’s make a bet over if you can get this girl to fall for you or not. If you can get her to fall for you, I’ll do all of your companies work for a month and bring in some of my clients to you. If you can’t, you have to dress up as a maid and let me take a video of it while doing your job.”

“Is that all?”

“You have too much confidence buddy, but yes that’s all.”

“Fine I accept these terms but you also have to wear a maid costume for when you lose.”

“We will see who has the last laugh but deal.”

We both shake hands to honor our agreement.

One week later

My assistant has finally found the details on her. Hmm Michelle. Twenty four years old. Moves around the world exploring and working from place to place. No known living relatives. No former relationships known. Straight. Favorite color blue. Favorite flower Rose. Likes romantic comedies, music, and doing her own creative works.

Hmm, she’s different from what I would have expected. She seems to be a ****** though. This may be easier than I thought. I can always just play the old doting sweet innocent card and have her fall hook line and sinker. She seems to be the type to fall for those tricks.

Just you wait Michelle, I’ll have you eating out of the palm of my hands soon enough.

*Meanwhile Michelle’s apartment*

I suddenly sneeze and feel a shiver run down my spine.

Who’s talking about me? How troubling.
