A boyfriend for Christmas

Blair's POV

"You keep slacking behind!" My boss raised his voice at me as he used the document in his hand to hit my head continuously.

"I'm sorry sir," I apologize with my gaze lowered, not daring to meet him.

I wish my eyes could kill, so my eyes would kill him now.

"Sorry, sorry?" He laughed and threw the documents on the floor, "Are you doing this because your grandfather is the minister of aviation? Or your Grandma is a CEO? Or your rich family?"

I ignored his questions and bent down to pick up the file. My boss was annoying as fuck, I don't know what his deal was, it felt like he bullied me for fun.

"Sir, I'm returning home for Christmas, the minister of aviation wants me home, so I will be reporting from there," I said in a low tone, hoping he got the message.

My boss glared at me, "Get out, I don't care what you do."

I dropped the documents on the table and left his office. He hated me because I got this job through connection and I was able to keep it.

"Are you okay?" Ziora, one of my colleagues asked and I nodded my head with a small smile on my face.

"Sure, I'm used to him already," I smiled and began arranging my things.

"What are your plans today? I wanted to hang out with you before you go home for the break," Ziora sweetly said and I pouted.

Ziora was such a sweetheart, she always covered up for me despite being my junior, "I would love to, today is my and Zade's fifteenth anniversary and we are having dinner."

"Sure," Ziora nodded her head and hugged me, "Have fun."

I picked up my bag and hurried downstairs, I didn't want to keep Zade waiting, especially since my best friend saw him picking up a ring at the ring shop. It's our fifteen years of being together, I hope he wasn't renewing my promise ring but giving me an engagement ring.

Zade and I had been together since middle school, we were the It couple everyone envied, right now everyone was waiting for our marriage and so was I.

I arrived at the restaurant and just like I thought, Zade was sitting at the table in the middle of the restaurant, he was looking as handsome as ever with his blue pants and beige color shirt. He was truly the man I had fallen for as a teenager.

"Babe, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," I kissed both his cheeks and lips before sitting opposite him, "I'm sorry I didn't change into something good, my boss was on my neck."

"Sure, I already ordered something for us," Zade said, and I immediately saw the waiter bringing food to our table.

The waiter served the food and left while we began digging in.

"Zade, I hope you are already prepared. it's just a day remaining and we will be going to our hometown," I said, trying to cut my steak.

Zade exchanged my uncut stake for his own when he noticed I was finding it difficult to cut mine. I thanked him and smiled at him.

"I already have a gift for your family, so what gift do you have in mind for my parents and grandparents?" I asked as I put a piece of steak in my mouth, "Do you plan on going empty-handed?"

I raised my eyebrows when he didn't say anything, "This is the first Christmas we are going back for in six years."

"Blair, can we just eat silently?" Zade asked and confusion settled on my face.

Blair? That was weird, this was the first time in fifteen years I heard Zade call my name. I wanted to ask if he was okay but he didn't. He looked like he wanted to say something.
