Jade's P.O.V
I rummage through my things, searching for the pen when suddenly the door flew open. By this time, I was already sweating hard. I kept on crouching and kneeling, opening drawers moving things.
"What the hell was that?"
"What was what?" then I bumped my head under the desk.
"f**k," I muttered painfully.
I slowly stand up, rubbing the sore spot on my head.
"The kiss!" she panics all of a sudden, throwing her hands in the air, as if obviously what she's gesturing was the kiss.
"We kiss all the time." I gave her the "as a matter of fact" tone and she wasn't enjoying it. She furrowed her brows, not taking my teasing.
"We do but it never gets to somewhere else."
My eyes did the look. You know, the look, like, "you think?". Yeah, that look.
"The contract f*****g states that we can't cheat so of course, I'd be sexually frustrated! It's been, what, three months?"
"You were sexually frustrated even before you met me." I sit on my office chair and pushed myself away from the desk a bit, letting me take a look at her whole demeanor, which was pleasant to the eyes.
"I am but thanks to you I finally had someone to take away all those. Now you're just adding more to that frustration." she crosses her arms.
I stand up and sat on the edge of the desk, letting the other half of my butt hang. I too, crossed my arms and smirked.
"If you want me, then. Show. Me." I whispered.
She grits her teeth and walked away.
"Thought so."
I searched for the pen again and finally found it a couple of minutes later. I went out and saw that she already left.
"Oh, well."
I called her but she didn't answer. Was she pissed? I shrugged it off and went early to bed. I was still full from the sandwich that I had devoured earlier.
Morning came and I bathe. If you're wondering, I take a bath two times a day, morning and evening. It just felt right. The stickiness for them night and the sweat from a long day of work. Yeah, I'm weird.
I grab everything that I needed for the day and went to the office. As I pass down the hall and went inside the elevator, I noticed my employees' stares. They were different. As soon as I saw my secretary, I asked her what happened.
"Apparently, everyone saw your scandal with Ms. Kheshannah yesterday."
I was astonished.
"You kissed her yourself, you know. Why are you so shocked?"
"You're finally talking to me like a normal person again." she rolls her eyes and points to my office.
"Right. Oh, and please remind everyone for the weekly meeting."
"Alright."
I sat down and signed the already piled up papers sitting beautifully on my desk. Work makes me rich, but work gives me pain in the shoulders.
I nearly forgot about the meeting as I was engrossed with the papers I was signing and reviewing.
"Ms. Shae, everyone is already here at the meeting."
Shoot.
"Ready the presentation."
"Yes, Ms. Shae."
I hurry and grab my phone and then went to the meeting. It was a shock to everyone, as to me too, that I was late. I was never late. In fact, I was so mindful of the time that a minute is a minute.
"Uh, let's hurry this up. What's the progress with that recreational center we had established with Lu Enterprises? And please ready the stocks, marketing, and the quote for this month's sale."
*****
I stretch my back. The meeting took longer even though I said we would hurry it up. Man, I need a massage.
"Ms. Kheshannah is finally getting into you?"
"Excuse me?" I turn to my secretary who was behind me. She had a smug look. Something that she wears when she's awfully right.
"Oh, please. Ms. Kheshannah is doing you good. You're more-"
"Ms. Kheshannah what?" our heads turned to the door of my office. There she was, Kheshannah, holding onto the door handle, almost letting herself in.
"Thief." I said involuntarily.
"I'm your girlfriend."
"I'll leave you two be. Have a nice lunch!" she leaves us both, not caring about this awkward situation.
"I can't believe they let you in."
"I can't believe you." I walk past her, entering my office and sitting on the sofa with a loud sigh followed by a loud sigh. Ah, the comforting softness of my leather sofa.
"Because?"
"You look old." she follows me but instead went behind me. Was she about to strangle me?
"My job is tiring."
"Here, I brought us lunch. Open it, I'll massage you for a bit."
She said what?
She places an eco-bag on my lap. Something in there smelled delicious. It was enticing my very wolf. I start to open it and she starts to massage my shoulders.
"Ahhhhhhhh, that's gooooood."
She was right. I sound old.
"You're old."
"Shut up."
I groan at the relaxing sensation she was applying to my shoulders. I didn't know I needed this that much. I hated myself for sounding like an old fart but I really did like her kindness for this day.
"Hey, lunch?" I opened my eyes that I didn't know closed and cleared my throat.
I slowly opened the eco-bag, not wanting to interrupt her massage algorithm. The scent quickly invaded my nostrils, making my mouth water.
"We had a date once and you already knew that sandwiches are my favorite."
"I'm quick on things." then she hits a spot.
"Gah, that waaas guuuuuud." she chuckles.
"That's enough. Let's eat together."
"Duh, we were supposed to. You looked like you could use some proper rest."
"Oh, shush. I'm hungry."
"You just had coffee?"
"Yep,"
Overall, there were five sandwiches, two apple juice, and a cake. She probably saw my expression when I looked at the cake because she told me,
"Celebrating our official relationship?"
"You're asking me?" I grab the cake and placed it on the table.
It was just a slice and dang it wasn't a sponge cake. It had layers in it and my mouth wanted to get a taste immediately.
"Dig in." she says happily and unwraps a sandwich.
I grab one too and inhaled its scent for the nth time. Ah, chicken sandwich with bacon, egg, onions, lettuce and tomato.
"Guilty pleasure." she says after taking a big bite on her sandwich.
"Not so ladylike now, are we?" she rolls her eyes.
"I don't need to be pretty when I'm with you."
"That's your way of saying that you're comfortable with me?"
"Yeah, I guess. I mean, you devoured two whole sandwiches yesterday, beside me. If I didn't say that I was gonna give the sandwich to the homeless, I'd say you'd eat them."
"True." she laughs and continued eating her sandwich.
I watch her like a hawk. Her jaw was so prominent that I think she altered it or did something to enhance the shape. Her nose was straight and not a single spot for pores were seen. She even looked like she was younger than her age.
Her deeo cyan eyes looked captivating and her lips, goodness. They were the right size, for me.
"You'll fall for me." I scoffed.
"As if." I ate the sandwich and finished it quickly and got another one.
Other than her looks and her body, she has a nice personality and she can cook. I wonder if she's smart. I need to find out. If she's not, then she's not my type but what if she is? Oh, God, then I'd want to marry her.
Fuck. Even when she opens her mouth, it's sexy. f**k. What am I doing right now? I need to calm down. I want her to initiate so that she won't regret it when she experiences my insatiable desires.
"You're supposed to compliment my cooking." there it was again, her pout. She looked like a cat, sexy yet adorable. Gosh, what am I saying.
Maybe my secretary was right. No, no, no. I need to put a deliberate line between work and love. Yeah. Right.
"Wasn't my moan enough?"
"Really?" I wasn't looking at her. I had already averted my eyes when she asked me the question. I didn't want her knowing that I was staring at her after she had caught me once.
"Yeah."
"Then moan for me more." I choked.
I grabbed the apple juice and downed it. The painful burn in my throat was uncomfortable and there she was, laughing at my miserable face. I sighed.
"f**k you."
"Please do." she says and parted her legs so wide that I could see the outline of her p***y.
It was a good thing that my office was tinted and sound proof. Ah, what would I do if it wasn't. It's the opposite. I wish it was not tinted and not sound proof.
"Woman!"
"What?"
"We're in my office!" I was flustered.
I wanted her and she wanted me. It was her payback and she made sure that I knew this. She was telling me not to mess with her. We both wanted each other but we didn't want to surrender as individuals.
"Isn't office s*x hot?" she puts down her almost done sandwich and sat on my lap, face to face.
She spreads her legs again and grinds slowly on my crotch. She bites her lip, luring me in. She leans on my chest, her breasts as soft as pillows. Ah, I wanted to dive my head in there and I almost did. But I didn't.
Oh, no you won't.
I grab both her legs and stood up. I balanced both our weights before letting her sit on the edge of my desk. Her skinny jeans were too skinny that I could feel the hotness of her p***y seeping through the denim.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, Kheshannah."
She grabs my collar and pulls me closer until we were just one lick away.
"The same goes to you."
I- was about to kiss her when her phone rang.
"Fuck." she mutters.
I could say the same. We both finally surrendered and we were disrupted! I brought this upon myself. I teased her when I should've went in already. I should've had a taste but I ruined it. My stupid pride ruined it.
I detached myself from her warm body and run my fingers through my hair. f**k. f**k. f**k. It was getting good!
"Yes, hi, this is Kheshannah West. Ah, yes, yes. Sesh Shoes?" we looked at each other at the same time.
"No." I say.
"Uhm, ah, I'm sorry but- yeah, no, no, uh, I respect myself and my girlfriend- no-" I grab her phone.
"f**k off, dickhead."
I gave her her phone back and lifted her chin with my thumb and index finger. I let myself drown in those deep ocean eyes.
"He's a dickhead."
"You should've kissed me."
"I'm about to."
I slowly mushed our lips together. There her soft lips entangled with mine, felt like ecstasy. She felt good in my embrace. I tasted lettuce in her mouth but that made me want her more, since I like lettuce.
My hand went to her cheek and softly caressed it as her arms locked on my neck. We were passionately kissing and it was as if the world had stopped moving and time ceased to exist. I couldn't hear a thing except for my heartbeat.
It was so loud that it was ringing in my ears. It was as if pounding to break my ribs away. And it was fast. Racing like the finish line was almost there. The excitement of finishing yet never got to do so.
Ms. Kheshannah is finally getting into you?
Damn f**k she is. She had already etched her very existence in my life, late but definitely etched herself in there. Over the short meetings and even not s month has passed, I am already seeing her in a new light.
Her ex.
I stopped kissing her.
"Is something wrong?"
"Your breath stinks." she slaps my shoulder softly.
"Yours too but I'm not complaining now, am I?" I laughed, painfully.
"Right. It's almost afternoon."
She was only with me because of her ex.
"Oh, yeah." she says as she searches for the clock.
"It's over there." she giggles.
"I'll see you later then." she wraps her unfinished sandwich and tidied up.
"Can you leave your unfinished sandwich?" she eyes me suspiciously but I just rolled my eyes.
"I'll eat it. It's a waste and it'd be disrespectful if you'll give to the homeless almost finished. Give them the other ones." she hands over her now nicely wrapped unfinished sandwich.
"You're too thrifty."
"I'm preserving natural resources. And consuming it to not let it waste."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you tonight then."
"I'll come get you then we'll have dinner."
"Alright, girlfriend." she kisses my cheeks and waves goodbye.
When she finally disappeared, I collapsed on the sofa and stared at the sandwich.
"What the f**k was I thinking?"
