A Simple Favor 11 Millie
The next morning, I roll over and notice that Asher isn’t by my side and I vaguely remember him telling me he has to live with his father for business. I thought it was a dream since it was so late at night. When I go downstairs for breakfast, I see that the table is almost full, with only two spare seats. Asher’s grandfather is reading the morning paper, Rich is sipping from a cup, and their grandmother is breaking an egg. “Good morning,” I say, taking a seat. “Morning,” the grandfather replies without moving the paper from his face. ‘’Good morning dear.’’ The grandmother smiles at me. ‘’Your husband called. He wanted to check in with you, but you were still sleeping,’’ Rich tells me. ‘’Oh, sorry I missed that call.’’ But am I really? I still don’t know what to make of last night, and I think Asher is disappointed in what could have happened, but didn’t. ‘’Sorry you missed it too, I would love to hear what you two have to speak about.’’ Rich gives a smile. I cock my head

‘’Do you love him?’’‘’Why would you ask me that?’’‘’Because I don’t think you do.’’‘’Our relationship isn’t your problem.’’‘’No, but what are you two hiding?’’‘’Why do you think we are hiding something?’’‘’I know my cousin, but since you can’t answer any of my questions. Why not be with me instead? Our relationship can be a lasting one.’’‘’This is something you do? Try to get back at your cousin by sleeping with the women he dates.’’‘’They never seem to mine.’’‘’And you think I would be just like them?’’‘’Just think of it as a game of grabs.’’As we continue to talk more, I realize that Rich is the same thing as Asher. They both have an appetite and desire for attractive women and only lived in the moment.There is something dangerous about it, and though I shouldn’t be talking to him like this made him that much more interesting.‘’So, the question stands, do you want me?’’‘’I’m married to your cousin.’’“That’s not my problem,” Rich replies. “And if you cared that much ab

I wake up in the middle of the night to stir from the bed; I see Millie sitting up and rubbing her eyes before looking around, as if trying to process where she is. With a groan, she gets off the and steps on my arm. I grunt and she screams out. ‘’Christ Millie,’’ I say. She reaches for the lamp beside the bed and turns it on, causing the light to flood the room and my eyes to burn. She raises a brow at me, and I know to her it must be priceless to see a wealthy man like myself sleeping on the floor with the blanket up to my chin. ‘’Why did you sleep on the floor?’’ she asks. ‘’I didn’t know if you wanted me in bed with you.’’ ‘’Oh.’’ ‘’Hmm,’’ I grumble and turn my back to her. I was eager to come back here to see Millie, but instead, I find out that she was out with Richard. And even though I have no right to be jealous, I can’t help it but I don’t understand why I have such feelings for her. This is only to be a business deal. I’m not supposed to have feelings for this woma
A Simple Favor 14 Millie
The weekend comes and goes so fast, so much so that if I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have thought it is real. But now I am back in this house, where it is just me and Asher. Or more like just me because I heard him leaving for work early this morning. I lay in bed and my mind drift to our kiss, then us almost having sex and I could just die there from embarrassment. I could see it in his eyes that he was disappointed, no matter how much he tried to play it off. And he even said it himself. If he had known I was a virgin and a bitch, he would have gone with someone else. But that just leaves me to ask the question I always do. Why me? He could have had any woman in the city of Mandeville, hell in the world, but yet here I am. A boring nobody who has never been with a man. After laying for who knows how long, I finally get up and make my way downstairs for breakfast. Even though I hate this for myself, I still have to put on a show. I did to become a citizen of this country or else I wo

‘’Miss Millie, the paints are here.’’ I look over at the woman and frown. ‘’It is just Millie.’’ ‘’Sorry.’’ I walk over to the paint cans to make sure that the colors are right and smile after seeing that they are. I am not a bitch, but I did make it known to Asher that the only way I would accept the place he bought for me is if I can do the project on my own. Gladly, he agreed and fired the guy, which I am glad for because that man wanted to take over things and do it his way without hearing my plans for a shop that will be my own. There is only one thing, though. Asher hired an assistant for me. But I am thankful for the help because I know I couldn’t do all of this on my own. I happily open the paint can and gush over the green and purple paints, along with the marshmallow white. I can see it now, these loud yet calm colors that will attract the eyes of those who come to simply buy baked goods but will stay to eat. We begin to paint the walls that are by the front door. I p
A Simple Favor 16 Asher
The car ride to my house is silent, Millie only stares out the window and it leaves me to wonder what she is thinking about. I hate that she doesn’t talk much and I hate that I care at all. ‘’Millie,’’ I say. She turns to look at me. ‘’You will be on your own for a while. For just a week, I have a business trip to go on.’’ Millie shrug. ‘’Ok.’’ ‘’Ok, and I expect you to go out with a bodyguard as well.’’ She gives me a look. ‘’I mean it, I don’t want anything to happen to you, and if you need anything. Just talk to Sabrina while I’m gone.’’ ‘’When will you be leaving?’’ she asks. ‘’In the morning.’’ She nods. When we get to the house, Millie hurries off to her room. I watch after her and then begin to unbutton my shirt, thinking that I have more than just my work cut out for me with her. Not only is she a virgin, but she doesn’t seem to care much. I’m guessing I did pick the right one. She won’t want a relationship with me. Just her bakery and citizenship. Millie comes ba

My alarm causes me to jerk from my sleep. I look at the time to see that I have two hours before my meeting. So I get up, brush my teeth and head down to the gym. When I get there, I am not so surprised to see Dovey. Our eyes meet and I look away, then make my way to the treadmill. As I work out, I can’t help but look in her direction and I see that she is doing the same. Our eyes would constantly meet in the mirror and I can see that with each contact, she is trying her best to keep my attention. After my half-hour working out, I make my way back to my room so I can get some food and be ready for the meeting. While getting ready, all my mind is on is Dovey. And even in the conference center, I couldn’t concentrate much because my mind keeps drifting to Dovey, her curvy body, and soft-spoken words. When I am finished with the meeting and exit the conference room, only to see Dovey standing there as if waiting for me. ‘’Asher I’m sorry, I should have never-’’ I don’t know why, b

‘’Georgia, I am going to run out for a quick minute.’’ She gives me a panicked look. ‘’I have to go to Asher’s office. He has the blueprint there and I want to take a quick glance at it for an idea.’’ ‘’Oh, alright. But please don’t stay too long.’’ She glances back at the men who are moving in the heavy kitchen equipment. I shake my head because I’m pretty sure that one of them is gay, and the other is married with his wife helping them. I wipe my hands in the apron, then take it off because it wouldn’t be a good look to be wearing it around. I walk over to the bodyguard. ‘’Since U Connect is so close and I have to go to Asher’s office for something, I will just walk there.’’ He nods. ‘’Ok, let me come with you.’’ I quickly shake my head. ‘’No, there is no need. I need to be alone for a while. Besides, I would rather for you to stay here with Georgia.’’ ‘’Mrs. Thomas, my job is to protect you. I don’t care about anyone else here and if the boss should find out that I left you
