I waited for about fifteen minutes before she came down. She was putting on a black jeans and a grey sweatshirt coupled with a pair of vans.
She already removed her hair from the bun it was, she already straightened it and it was obvious she was on makeup.
With make up or without makeup she was pretty either way.
"You ready?" I asked her as I stood up from the couch. My eyes scanning her appearance.
"Yh." She visibly gulped, nodding her head. She picked up her black purse, probably in case of money.
"You know I'm paying right? You don't need your purse."
She shrugged as she turned off the TV and we made our way outside.
I decided on having pizza, since we were both not dressed elegantly for a exquisite diner.
I opened the door for her and she mumbled a 'thank you'
"What are we having?" She asked me as she strapped in her seat belt.
I started the engine after strapping myself in too "Pizza?" It was more of a question.
"I know the best pizza place." She looked at me with eagerness in her eyes.
"Okay, you give directions while I drive." I said and zoomed off.
In no time we were standing at the front of 'pizza palace' . It looked modern enough. We got down from the car and Janet led the way inside.
It looks like she was a regular customer cause immediately she entered she was greeted by an old woman who I suppose is the owner of this place.
The place was almost empty, only few people were present. "What would you like to order?" A young girl about the age of seventeen asked grinning.
I looked at Janet, giving her a sigh to order. "We'll both have the normal." She grinned at the young girl.
The girl left after writing our order inside her note. Janet cleared her throat and then looked straight at me. It was obvious she wanted to ask a question.
"Ask whatever you want to ask." I sighed as I relaxed in my seat.
"Hmmn?"
"Ask away."
" I know this is not about you wanting me to forgive you, cause you're a selfish jerk -"
"I never knew you were this shirt tempered Janet." I smiled a little.
"Well, I am, with people I don't like."
"Fair enough." I nodded my head.
"As I was saying," she cleared her throat and then continued, "I know you're a selfish jerk so what's this dinner stuff all about?"
"I'm using it to apologize cause if the way I treated you."
The girl who took our order was the one who served us. It was a medium sized chicken pizza.
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Anything else?" She asked
"No. I'm fine" Janet answered and she turned to me making me shake my head in return.
"You expect me to believe you?" She asked as she took a bite from the slice of Pizza she took from the box.
"I mean," I shrugged, "yes, why not?"
She gave me a straight face, "I don't." She took another bite. "Eat."
I chuckled and then picked a slice of pizza from the box.
"I need your help." I said as I took a bite from the pizza.
"I knew it." She smirked as she took another slice from the box.
I took a huge bite from the slice I was holding and surprisingly it tasted good. I've never eaten one of these.
"It's my dad. He wants me to get a wife," I paused guaging her reaction "and a child." With that she burst into laughter almost choking on what she was eating.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she cleared her throat, "it's just, you? A wife and a child? Yh no" she chuckled again and continued eating her pizza.
"You think I'm joking?" I asked as I took another slice from the box.
"Then tell him you're not ready." She shrugged.
"It's not that simple. If I don't provide a wife and a child for him within a year, he'll disown me and withdraw me from my post."
"Wow. So why are you telling me this?"
"I already said it. I need your help."
"How I'm I going to help you." She chuckled, "be your wife?" She looked at me straight in the eye and when she saw I wasn't laughing with her she knew I was serious.
"You're joking right?"
"I wish I was, trust me."
After the dinner I had with Janet I dropped her off at her house and she was silent throughout. She kept playing with her fingers and bouncing her leg."Goodnight.""Night. And thanks for tonight." She gave a small smile before closing the door.I just hope she comes to work tomorrow.I drove straight home, my penthouse. I put off my shirt, turned on the TV to distract myself and then poured myself a shirt of whiskey.I pulled out my cell phone and then called Kelvin."Hey man." His voice sounded hoarse."I talked to Janet about the -""Janet? The one that works in your office? Your personal assistant?" He cut me off as he continued to throw questions at me.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, "yes. That one.""So, what did she say?" I heard papers ruffling. He was probably working on a project and I was here disturbing him with my own problem."Nothing.""Nothing?"
Immediately I got to my office, I arranged my stuffs and then logged in into the company's laptop. I was busy replying a mail from someone who applied for an appointment when my phone rang.Mom.I picked up the call and the first thing I heard was my mom crying at the other end of the line."Mom...mom, what's wrong?" I asked fera evident in my voice."Your brother, it's Andrew." She hiccuped which only means she has been crying since. "He...he was involved in a car accident" she sniffed"Wha.... what?! How?!" I stood up from my seat pacing around my office, I could already feel the headache coming."He went to this party we didn't know about with some of his friends. They were about to come drop him off at home when a trailer that had already lost control hit them." I knew she was crying all over again."He was the only one that made it, but with a broken leg." She sighed "and some broken bones." She added later."You sho
Thenext morning, I woke up earlier than usual, probably because of the thought of me being his wife finally settled in, even if we're not yet bounded by the contract. After we had our talk, before we left where we had our lunch, he told me he already made arrangements for the contract file to be made. And, we'll sign first thing tomorrow morning.I cleaned up my room and the living room. Immediately I got home from work, Jade was the first person I called. Everything was happening so fast in a blur.After I blurted everything out to her, she just reassured me it was going to be alright. And then, we took ice cream and watched Netflix.Presently, I was in my kitchen making breakfast, bacon and eggs. I already put in my office wear, a black riffle cuff sheer Swiss dot mesh sleeve too and a black faux leather high- rise leggings, coupled with my black heels. Soon breakfast was ready and as I was about to make my way out of the door I heard a knock.
Under seven minutes Eros was standing outside my door as he watched me pack some of the files I needed to finish at home. "You know you can leave those right?""Yes. But I really need to finish it." I replied as I looked at him. He had one of his hands placed inside his pocket while the other held his car key."I'm ready." I exhaled and straightened my skirt. I felt his eyes on my mid thigh and I swear his eyes were filled with lust. I cleared my throat in order to clear the awkwardness in the room.Because we have this contract between us doesn't mean I was still not attracted to him, I definitely was!He glanced up at my face and then gave me a small smile as we both made our way out of the office. Immediately we got out of the elevator, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.I couldn't stop the blush that rose to my cheeks. My colleagues all looked at us as if they just saw an alien, as if what happened this morning was e
I woke up the next morning with my alarm blaring loudly into my ears. I trained and searched for it mindlessly. I finally found it and then put the alarm off. "Do I need to get up today."I sat down uprightly I'm my bed and then grabbed my phone. I scrolled through my messages and saw I had one from Eros.Good morning.Since tomorrow is the dinner we're having with my family I decided you should move in today. And, you don't need to come to work, I'll take care of things.The Parkers would be in your side around ten.Ten? I checked the time and it was past eight! I had less than two hours to pack my stuffs and clean up myself!I got out of bed and ran into the bathroom. Did all the necessities and dressed up.Since I had already packed
Holy shit!That was the first thing that came to my mind immediately I entered the room.The room was large. Larger than the one in my apartment. It had a queen sized bed, decorated with pillows of all sorts and placed on it was a white duvet.I placed the duvet in between my hands and felt it, it is....soft. I can't wait to lay on that bed. I walked straight into the closet and wow! It was already filled with clothes and shoes. Surprisingly they were my sizes.Weird.After unpacking my things and cleaning the room, I was already all so sweaty after the cleaning and decided to take a shower.I changed into a sweat shirt and a sweat pants and then packed my hair in a bun. I went downstairs and Daine already told me dinner was ready.Should I wait for him? I thought.I told Daine that I was going to wait for Eros t
I woke up around seven am. I went into the bathroom and then brushed my teeth, had my bath and made sure I washed my hair pretty well. I tied a large white towel on my hair to dry it off and the smaller one on my body.I heard a knock on the door when coming out of the bathroom. Probably Diane, but it wasn't. "Oh, hey." I said smiling at him"Morning." he said and I was so sure I saw him staring at my cleavage. I cleared my throat, bringing his attention back to me."Uh," he scratched his hair, "we will be leaving in about an hour and a half, you should get dressed" he pointed at my body."Yh, sure." I replied as I gave him
Immediately we entered into the living room I saw wowed. It was better than Eros' living room. It was painted cream and arranged perfectly was white couches of different sizes. The chandelier lit up the living room. There were different art painting decorating the walls."My dad likes art." Eros whispered in my ears when he found me admiring the different art works."They are all seated in the dining room." Jade said."Still nervous?""A little." I gave him a small smile and he squeezed my hands reassuringly.Jade opened a large white pocket door with the golden handles and all eyes turned to us."Uncle Eros!" A young boy with blonde hair and pretty blue eyes grinning from ear to ear ran towards him and Eros bent down to scoop him up."Jayden, how has my favourite niece being?"Jayden in turn continued grinning from ear to ear.
