Adam & Eve Together Chapter 19
Monday couldn’t get there fast enough. They both got dressed and headed in to see each other. Work would wait...everything would. Adam showered and dressed in the sexiest suite he had. He wanted to look and smell good for her. He was ready to make their thing exclusive. He was still unsure what it was before, however, he knew what it was now. He was her man and nothing else mattered. He was fully prepared to tell her to cease all communication with the temp. All she thought she was missing, he was. She didn’t need nothing more than him.He smiled at himself in the mirror doing a once over, grabbed his briefcase, and hit the door. He talked to Sherman on the elevator on the way down. Sherman confirmed what he already knew, he always had, Adam never paid attention before. It hit home today. He tipped him and smiled as he got off the elevator. He flashed a big smile as he walked past the ladies at the desk. He waved to Tricia, who was standing with her hand on her chest. She thought it w

Damn it is cold out here! I thought it was supposed to be like 50 degrees today. Lord, I hate the cold. I said, bundling myself up tighter around my neck, which had apparently disappeared in between my shoulders and head. The wind was blowing havoc in my face as I made my way to work in busy downtown New York.I was fresh, well not exactly fresh…maybe 2 years or so, out of college and going to my job. A job I loved by the way. I wasn’t a big time anything, yet. I was only a receptionist, but I had a purpose and a plan. I was going to be somebody’s CEO somewhere. I promised myself I would not end up doing some normal job outside of my field of study. I wasn’t about to waste the time I spent at school nor my parent’s money. We all worked hard for me to be something. But for now, I was grateful I even had a job and not interning. This job afforded me the opportunity to move to New York, the city that never sleeps, on my own. I was able to afford and maintain my apartment, my bills, and m

Pressing the button on the elevator I wait for it to come. There were a few people waiting with me, but no one I knew. There are different companies within the same building, so it wasn’t odd. I rode with new people all the time. The elevator came and we all got on. I pressed the button for the 36th floor, which is where our company was. I stepped off the elevator, and through the glass doors to my desk. Unloading my bag, coffee, jacket, and fritter, I sat down to enjoy breakfast before this busy day ahead of me. I knew my boss had a lot for me to do and I was prepared for it. I decided to take the subway today instead of riding my bike, so my helmet was one less thing I had this morning. I usually stay on top of my game and my job, so I was never stressed. I've seen many people huffing and puffing about their day. But I have a great boss. We are busy, but my job is easy, so I spend a lot of my days staring out the window at the building across from us. I imagine that would be my o

The train couldn't get there fast enough as I dashed up the stairs and to my building. My mind was racing a thousand miles a minute. I was ready to curse Tammy out. She played me. She knew how I felt, and she went behind my back after him anyway. I wrestle with my keys trying to get them in the door. I took the elevator to my floor and raced to my apartment door. I flung the door opened and busted through it, slamming it behind me. I didn't want to be bothered I just wanted to cry. I dropped everything at the door, kicked my shoes off and ran to my room. I fell across the bed and bawled like a baby. He was supposed to be my future... my forever. She had no right. “She had no right”, I screamed into my pillow. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I never cried over a man before. This was crazy but my feelings were hurt. And it wasn't about Mr. Black… stupid Black. It was about Tammy and how she betrayed my trust. It was as if my feelings didn’t matter, like she didn't know he was off
Adam & Eve Eve Chapter 4
I hadn’t realized I was that tired. I slept like a rock. I woke up and saw the text from Stu. It read, dress comfortably, which I did. Only some jeans, an oversized cow neck sweater and some boots. I kept my hair cut short, so I didn’t have any work to do. I liked makeup but I wasn’t the glam type. I pulled myself together and headed out.Stu and I went to dinner at this little Italian spot. The food was amazing, and place was cozy. We ate and talked for a long time. I appreciated the simplicity of Stu, way more than I had before. The energy was good, and he was easy to be around. I felt no pressure to be anything more than Eve.We laughed and played around freely. The night was going well until I looked up to see my worst nightmare staring me in the face with the look of anger across his face. Mr. Black was headed out the door and looked up to see me laughing with Stu. He cocked his head to the side, as he and his friends continued to walk out. I put my attention back on Stu, unbot
Adam & Eve Adam Chapter 5
The alarm went off, so I hit the button and jumped up. It was an early day for me, as usual. I am usually up at 5, get my work out on, jump in the shower, and at the office by 7. I am the CEO, so I gotta set a good example right. Today I had a pretty light schedule, only a few meetings then free for the remainder of the day. My team was strong, so no micromanaging for me. I paid them well to ensure that.I knew starting out I didn’t want to be 'that guy'. In college, I worked for this little Rinky dink company for 'that guy'. You know the a-hole that has a badge, so he thinks he’s somebody? Yeah, nah my man, I am going to show you what a somebody looks like. I am from the hood, the boogie down Bronx, to be exact so that is a no-fly zone. Flexing on us is a no no. But I learned to hit them where it hurts, them pockets. He quickly learned not to mess with me, respect son, that’s all I ask. I didn’t need to be a tough guy to get my point across, but it didn’t hurt none that I could be.T
Adam & Eve Adam Chapter 6
I pulled up to the building where the valet was waiting to take the cars. “Yo, Mr. Black. Tell me you saw that game?” Jason the valet said as I got out. “Damn, it must have been a good game, you the second person that asked me that.” We dapped up and I gave him my keys. “Awe you missed it? Nah, tell me you didn’t miss it? They were balling out yo!” He said and hit a move like he was shooting a basket. I didn’t take it as disrespect, that’s how we spoke here. He knew when and when not to. “Yeah, I missed it, but I will watch it tonight, I dvr'd it. Don’t scratch my ride.” I looked at him sternly and he knew play time was over. “Yes sir, Mr. Black, I got you.”I tipped him and walked to the door.“Good morning Mr. Black, how are you this fine morning?” “Great Mr. Johnson, how are you?” “Any day above ground is a good day.” Mr. Johnson was one of the best doormen and people I had ever met. He really took pride in his job and loved his family. “How’s the family? Tell Mrs. Johnson hello for
Adam & Eve Adam Chapter 7
Yes son, why? What happened?” I laughed because she was over this woman thing. “Hear me out. I slammed into this woman today and she literally took my breath away. I felt feelings I have never felt before. It was from my core Mom; I could feel her in my spirit. It scared me a little. And now I can’t get her off my mind. I can’t work, I can’t think straight, am I tripping?” I laid it all out there to the one woman I trusted more than anyone in the world. “Okay son, take a deep breath.” I blew it out. “Okay, now what happened? And I need details.” I tried to pull myself together, she really had me tripping. “I went to the café to get lunch. When I walked in the door she jumped down and slammed into me. I held her for support and all hell broke loose. I was sweating, my heart skipped a beat, and a warm feeling came over me. She didn’t even say anything, but I could feel her speaking to my soul Momma, I could feel her.” I shook my head, listening to myself still unable to believe what wa
