Mixed Love

Wow

Zaria POV

I woke up to the sound of knocking on my door. Alex was gone and I was alone, but there was note left on my bedside table. I got up threw my robe on and went to answer the door. When I opened it there was a man standing there with a dozen red roses.

“I have a delivery for Zaria” he said. “ I am Zaria” I told him. He handed me the red roses and walked away. I smelled the roses and was a about to close the door until I heard “hold on a minute mam”. I opened the door and they all came in one by one each with a dozen red or white roses. It was 12 dozen roses 6 red and 6 white, then came more. In came 12 dozen lilies which are my favorite 6 were white and 6 were pink. I was in awe and my living room smelled amazing. I went to grab my phone to call Alex, but thought to myself that I couldn’t due to me not having his number. So I just grabbed the note and my work bag and headed to the sweet aroma of roses and Lille’s that filled my living room. I placed my bag down and went to the kitchen to make me a cup of joe. I returned from the kitchen and made a place on my living room table for more space for my computer and work papers. As I was about to grab my coffee another knock came across my door. I opened it to find a food delivery person. “Delivery for Zaria” he said. I kindly accepted closed the door and went to the table to see what goodies were inside. I looked in and it was one of my favorite breakfasts which was eggs Benedict with well done eggs. Omg I couldn’t believe that Alex was actually listening when I told him my likes and dislikes. I really wish I could call him to tell him thanks. So I chalked it up and went to grab my coffee put creamer in and came back out to eat and work on the end of the month details for work along with accepting and denying applications.

Alex POV

I finished drawing up the paperwork just in time before they all got back. I was coming down the stairs ready to head out for the day when my father pulled me in to the kitchen.

“Son what’s going on with you and Jennifer” he said. “What are you talking about dad” I asked agitated. “She just applied for a one bedroom” he said sternly. “Okay so what I don’t want her in my face all the time. We only need to show face when we go to functions and nothing else. I don’t think we need to live together honestly. I’m definitely not getting a divorce so if she wants to then that’s on her”. I told him. “Son listen to me if you don’t abide by what she says, she will divorce you for infidelity and then the contract will be null and void and you will have to pay” he said to me angrily. I looked at him and replied “are you serious, you told me yesterday that this was just a business contract what happened to that. We have a whole contract stating that so what the hell does me seeing other women have to do with anything. Besides I already drew up contracts for her to sign anyway. One is a prenup to leave with whatever we came in with, and the other is for us to stay out of each other’s personal lives”.

“Do you actually think she will sign those papers” my father said. “Of course she will because you haven’t seen what I’ve seen in her. She wants the fame, glory and attention of being with me. She knows I’m one of the most powerful men in C town and she wants that as well. So she will sign the damn papers” I told him sternly and left.

I can’t believe what my father had told me. To clear my head I went to do a little shopping grabbed some food and headed to Zaria’s place. I needed her solace right now. As I’m in line for food my phone rings and it’s and unknown number. “This is Alex speak” I said over the phone. “It’s Jennifer and I need to talk to you please” she said. “ I don’t have time right now I’ll see you in a few hours”. There was silence for a moment before she spoke “no you need to meet and talk with me now, you think I don’t know about the little girl you’re messing with. I have money and I will destroy your little girlfriend with just a couple words and let my money do the rest. Meet me now at the cafe on state street. If you are not there you will see if I’m playing or not”.

I looked at my phone and hung up on her. Who the hell does she think she is to threaten the love of my life, my soul mate. I got my food and headed to Zaria house. When I got there I had made up my mind on what to do about Jennifer.

Zaria POV

I had been working like crazy today and approved two applications that were put in by the leasing consultants. I fell asleep while watching some tv and awoke to a knock on my door. I got up to answer it and to my surprise it was Alex with bags in hands. I let him in and he set the bags down and rushed to me. He kissed me so tenderly and said “I love you, and it’s okay if you don’t say it back right now. That is how I feel about you and that won’t ever change. Come and see what I have for you” he said.

“More gifts, this is enough I love the roses and lilies and the food I had was amazing. I’m still kind of full from earlier, but I sure can eat again I giggled and said”. I came over and sat next to him as he pulled the food over first and handed me a box and him as well. It was Chinese food fried rice, orange chicken and lo mien. In heaven I was again from the food I was enjoying. “Where did you get this Chinese food, I’ve never had it this amazing” I said.

“Haha stick close to me and you definitely will try and do things you never have before” he said with the biggest smile on his face. I couldn’t help but smile as well and enjoy my food as he started going through the bags. He pulled out two brand new iPhone 12 pros and handed me one. He said “my number to this phone is in your contacts already and vice versa. This will be the way we contact each other”. He then pulled out a Manila envelope and pulled out some papers. “This is the contract for us that I drew up. It states that we will see each other privately until my marriage is over. You will be compensated for your time and hassle. 50 grand will be deposited into your account every month. If I fall in love with my wife or she gets pregnant this contract will be null and void and 1 million dollars will be deposited into your account. If this lasts until my marriage is over then we can finally be together in the open instead of private. If you are to get pregnant at anytime this contract will be null and void and my marriage as well, but I’ll be willing to part with that and pay the cost to build a family” he said.

“Can I think about it for a day please. This is a lot to take in and not sure I want to be a mistress sneaking around with someone’s husband”. Before he had a chance to respond there was a loud banging at my door. It scared me shitless. Alex got up to answer the door and we both were shocked at what we saw. Alex said “what the hell are you doing here Jennifer and how the hell did you know where she lived”. I was befuddled at his fiancé coming banging on my door like this. This is one of the reasons why I’m not sure if I can do this with him. Jennifer response was “I told you that if you didn’t show up to meet me at the cafe you would see that I was not playing right”. She looked past him and gave me the most dirtiest look ever and said “how does it feel to be a mistress to a man that you can never have”. I just stood there shocked. Alex closed and locked the door but not before telling her to f*ck off.

He came back to me and said “yes you can have some time to think about it. I’m very sorry that this has happened. I will deal with her in a minute but let’s finish things here please”. I sat down beside him and he pulled out a black card and gave it to me. “I want you to go out and find you a car and a house and when you do let me know. This black card is to get whatever you want and need. I will be indisposed for a while and I want to make sure you are safe and looked after while I’m gone handling this marriage business” he said. He gave me a peck on the lips and got up and left.

Jennifer POV

He really thought I was playing! I found out about this girl from the private investigator that I hired to follow him. He really thinks I’m just going to give my husband to her yea right. We will just have to see about that! Which does he love more his precious love or his family and business. I showed up at that door and almost knocked it down. I wanted this girl to see his soon to be wife and show her she can not compete with me at all. The look on her face man I wish I could have taken a picture she was dumbfounded. Yes I got what I wanted and yes he can slam the door in my face, but best believe he is coming straight to me when he is done with her.
