The Doctor and the Millionaire (EDITING)

Chapter Eight

"Milan" I called 

" Don't even bother" 

We sat in silence throughout the car ride until we finally arrived at Milan's home. 

" Thank you, Raphael," She says exiting the car walking home 

                                                                                            ~~~

I dropped Milan off at her home and arrived at Joe's Bar & Grill where I was to meet Abraham my best friend for drinks. 

" Dude your late" Abraham complained 

"I'm sorry I had to drop my assistant off at home," I apologized 

" Your what?" He laughs 

" I dropped off my assistant" I repeated 

"Why?" He asked 

" Because she needed a ride" I stated bluntly 

"What do you want to drink sir? " The bartender asks 

" I'll have a vodka soda" I responded 

 " So do you like her?" Abraham asks  

" Yes I like her," I said sipping my drink 

" You don't even know her, how do you like her in such a short amount of time?" He asks stunned 

" I've known her since we were in high school, her brother was my bestfriend," I tell him 

" Why do I have the feeling that she doesn't remember you" He smirks 

I was silent 

" She doesn't remember you?" He shouts breaking out into a fit of laughter 

I continued to sip my drink 

" What are you going to do now?" He asks still laughing 

" That is what I intend to figure out" I smirk  

We sat in silence drinking our drinks. I knew that Abraham was thinking about what I had just said, and I knew he was concocting some crazy idea in his head. 

"Let's have a bet," He says 

" What? I'm not doing a bet over her Abraham" 

" Whoever can get a date with Milan gets a million" He proposed 

" Are you crazy!" I shout

" Let me finish, the loser loses a million and has to give 10% of company shares" He finishes 

" 10% of shares? what makes you think I would fall into such a trap?" I scoffed 

" First to get a date with Milan, come on it'll be fun" 

" No Abraham she isn't some random girl you can pick at the club, and play like a game" 

" Oh, you just wait and see I'll have her by my side in no time" He laughs 

" Abraham I'm warning you, leave that girl alone," I say sternly 

" If I don't Christian what exactly do you intend on doing to me?" He challenges 

" You're playing with fire Abraham, and you will get burned" 

"Get yourself some soup your lovesick!" He says walking out  

He left a hundred dollar tip and walked out of the bar. Did he really think that I would participate in a bet involving Milan? Besides Milan is such a difficult person who would not dare to go on a date with an arrogant dangerous person such as Abraham. Unless Abraham made his utmost priority to mask his flaws. I feel confident that Milan will reject him, but part of me feels that she'll fall into Abrahams's dangerous antics. 

I finished my vodka drink and had Raphael drop me off at my penthouse. I punched the code into the door and set my briefcase and coat on the foyer table walking towards my bedroom. I picked out some sweatpants and a white tee and entered the large shower letting the hot water relax my body, and at this point all that was on my mind was Milan. The fact that she was so strong-willed, stubborn, and knew what she was talking about. The fact that she was right always right when she said something. The fact that she had changed from what I knew her as before into the beautiful person she is today.

 I stepped out of the shower dressing in my sweats and walked to the kitchen to see what Lucy my cook had prepared. I heated up the bowl of alfredo and sat in front of the tv watching Terminator while doing extra work for tomorrow. This was my everyday life. Work and relaxing in front of the tv. No women had ever entered my life since the summer I was rejected. Everything was only strictly mutual, but I wanted more. More with someone like Milan
