Chapter 2: 2
"Ouch!" Nichole rubbed the back of her head.
"Stop ogling at my driver, and Zed what have I said about taking off your shirt?" Soraya rudely asked.
"Sorry." He said taking his breakfast to his room.
"Stop being harsh on the guy," Nichole reasoned. "He's just a driver Nichole, nothing else." She waved her off sipping her coffee instantly relaxing.
"We'd be dropping you off at your office so get ready." She said to her friend who dropped her mug and plate into the sink. Soraya walked to her room to get ready for the day.
Zed sat in the car waiting for Soraya and her friend to come out of the house. He couldn't take his eyes off his boss as she stepped out. She looked gorgeous as ever. He got out and opened the door for them to sit.
"We're taking Nichole to her office first." She said to him as he drove off.
"I would see you later Bitch!" Nichole said sticking her middle finger at her as Zed drove off. Zed kept looking at his boss through the mirror. She noticed it but didn't say anything.
She caught him the third time and asked rudely: "What is it Zed?"
"I am just admiring your beauty." He said to her.
"I always look pretty, but thanks anyway." She pompously told him.
"Of course you do, but today you look breathtakingly gorgeous." He flattered making her cheeks rosy.
"Focus on the road Zed." She chuckled.
In a few moments later, he had parked in front of her workplace. He got down and opened the door for her. Her Secretary, Ace met her at the entrance as he took her bag and walked with her to the office. Zed parked her car and handed the keys over to the valet and then headed out to Freya's office. He knew the time Soraya would need his services and hopefully, he would be back by that time. "Bad time?" He asked knocking on Freya's door.
"Come on in, I need you to help me with something." She said as he entered the office.
"Before we end the show, I would like to talk about our latest bachelorette Soraya Wayne. She hot, successful and rich but she claims she's not into committed relationships, only one night stands. Some say she's too proud to stick to one man but look at that body, so gorgeous. Here's a picture of her and her hot driver Zed Velasquez, some say that there's something between those two, we would find out soon. Soraya Wayne would be on our show two weeks from today, stay safe it's your host on Good Morning America, Ceceilia Vega." She said as the show ended.
Soraya and some of her employees watched the show from their offices.
"I can't wait to see her on the show," One of her employees said.
"I'll bet she'd talk about herself that's what she cares about anyways." Another said as they got to their work.
"Hey, the girl did you see the show?" One of her friends said through the phone.
"I did Becca, don't mind Cecelia, she wants my attention and I'm so gonna give it to her." She said to her friend.
"And before you ask of me and Zed, wait till the next show." She said keeping her friend in suspense.
"Whatever you say, drama queen," Becca said dropping the call. She wanted juicy bits from Soraya to feed her girlfriends with but her approach didn't work.
"The bitch didn't tell me nothing, she says to wait until the show," Becca added sipping her iced tea.
"I'll bet she's sleeping with him, who wouldn't sleep with a dude that hot?" One of her groupies said.
"She may be, she might not. Let's just wait for the stupid show." Becca said.
"Zed you missed the show." Carla, Freya's assistant said.
"What show?" He asked munching on skittles.
"Good Morning America, you and Soraya we're the talk of the day." She told.
"Really, what did they say?" His interest piqued.
"Well, Cecelia Vega talking about you and Soraya being in a relationship and hiding it from the public." She told as Freya burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry but this is just too pwhahahahahahahahahahahahahah." She laughed harder. Zed walked off angrily. It was almost time for him to go pick up Soraya from work anyways. She can laugh all I want and see if I care.
One day, Soraya would be mine and we'd see who would have the last laugh. He said as he got to the workplace. He took the car keys from the valet and moved the car to the entrance of the building waiting for her highness.
About two and a half hours later, Soraya and Ace came out of the building. She looked exhausted as Ace opened the door for her and gave her, her handbag.
"Thanks, Ace, I would see you tomorrow." She smiled at him making Zed jealous.
"Let's go Zed." She closed the door yawning as he drove off. The traffic was massive. He waited in traffic worried for his boss, she looked so tired and the traffic wasn't helping things. He doubted she had had something to eat. He looked in the mirror to see her sound asleep.
Zed sang softly to himself careful of not waking his boss up. He was singing Powerful by Alicia Keys ft Jamal Lyon.
"People have been talking about it
We won't just stand here in silence
Can't stop the fire from rising
Rising
Ooh Ooh
People don't you be afraid
So many innocents slain
This is an era for change
Change
And Malcolm's probably turning in his grave
Every shade was beautifully made
And Powerful
There's so much strength in you and me
Powerful
A breath away from victory
I matter
You matter
We matter, all
I matter
You matter
We matter, all
Powerful
Powerful
I see a colourful future
Where skin don't define any human
And stars are the only thing shooting
Shooting, wow oh
Mothers that bury their child
How can we sit there and hide
Change comes when all take a stand now
Stand up
Stand up
Martin's speech still echoes in my brain
Every shade was beautifully made..."
He sang beautifully making Soraya stir in her sleep. She wondered where that melodious voice was coming from. She didn't want to open her eyes else the person might stop singing. She lay enjoying the melodious music from Zed.
Three hours later, they had reached home. Zed parked the car in the garage and opened the door to carry his boss out.
She was still asleep or pretending to do so because she was too exhausted to walk into the house. He locked the car and the garage and opened the door to the house. He shook his head to the maid signalling that Soraya wouldn't be having dinner tonight.
He climbed the staircase carefully in order not to wake her up.
He dropped her bag on the couch and put her gently on the bed. He helped her change from her outfit into a large t-shirt and then took off her make up. He pulled her duvet to cover her then placed her phone on the bedpost, turned out the lights and headed out shutting the door behind him. Soraya smiled opening her eyes and looking to see if he was still there. She placed her head back on the pillow drifting off to bed.
Zed grabbed himself a bottle of coke and warmed the leftover pizza. He then carried the food to his room as he watched Netflix, he wasn't and early sleeper.
A couple of minutes later, he could hear someone rummage through the fridge.
Probably Soraya searching for something to eat. Zed thought to himself.
