The Crime Lord’s Girlfriend

I Guess We Can Finish It

After Mr. Jenkins and Jonah left my office, the day rushed by and I was able to get most of my work done. Although, Jonah’s face kept popping up in my head, interrupting the rest of my day.

4:30pm: Bonnie plops down in one of the chair across from me “so, so…?” She asks, leaning over my desk preventing me from writing the last of my reports. “Can you just sit for a second?” I ask laughing at her acting like a teenager. “No, I want to know everything!” Bonnie exclaims, being dramatic.

“Everything about what? I’m lost” I say.

“Charlie, stop acting dumb because you aren’t dumb and it doesn’t look good on you” she pouts at me. I finish my report and turn to her “Bonnie, there’s nothing to tell, except that he wasn’t even an employee yet or still isn’t, I don’t even know at this point. Jenkins just decided to use me as tour guide most of the day, time that I could’ve used to finish all of this…” pointing at all the papers on my desk and computer “…way earlier and not been all uncomfortable with the man just watching me all day” I sag back on my chair.

Bonnie just smirks at me, and I glare at her “what!?”

“You like him” she shrugs.

“Well he’s nice but that’s it” picking up all the papers on my desk and organizing them, refusing to look at her. “Yeah, right” Bonnie laughs and stands up, grabbing her purse as grabbed my jacket and walking out.

I get home and the kids are already there “I’m home!” I call, as I take my shoes off. “In the living room!” Mariel calls.

Walking into the living room, I see her lying on the floor doing homework. “Hi Mami” she says, looking up from her work. “Hey, where are your brothers?” I ask.

“Jordan is in his room, I think he’s sleeping and Ismael is in the kitchen. He said something about making dinner” she shrugs.

“Cool, how was your day?”

“Pretty good for the most part but I got two more projects I have to do for next week” she rolls her eyes, annoyed.

“If you need help let me know, I’m going to go check that Ismael doesn’t burn down my kitchen again” I smirk and she laughs.

A couple years ago Ismael was trying to learn how to bake and accidently set the stove on fire, no major damage thank God, I just had to get a new stove and paint that spot on the wall. He hated any time anyone mentioned it, I think he still felt bad about it.

“Hey you” I say, leaning on the island in the kitchen. “What you making?” I ask.

“Hey and just some pasta, I saw this recipe and wanted to try it out” he shrugs, not turning from the sauce he was stirring. He really loves cooking, always trying new recipes and trying to perfect flavors.

“It smells great” I say, smelling the air.

“Thanks” he says.

“How was your day?” I ask.

“It was pretty boring; I finished all my homework in study hall… so I thought maybe I can go to the movies?”

“Sure, just make sure you are home by 11pm, you have school tomorrow” I tell him.

“Oh, and practice starts tomorrow for basketball” he reminds me.

“Good deal, just let me know if I need me to pick you up after work” I tell him.

“I’ll ask if Danny can drop me off, if anything I’ll let you know” I nod, agreeing and leave the kitchen.

I go up to my room to change, but I stop at Jordan’s door and knock “come in” he calls. I open his door; he’s lying in his bed on his phone. “Hey” I say.

“Hey” he turns to look at me.

“I thought you had practice today?”

“No, they cancelled it. Apparently it was supposed to rain really badly.”

“Okay, is the game still Friday?” I ask.

“I think so coach hasn’t said anything about it”

“Alright, you got practice tomorrow?”

“Yeah, Ismael said basketball starts tomorrow and Danny is bringing us home” he says, looking at his phone.

“Sounds good, dinner is almost ready” I say, walking out and heading to my room.

The night went by like usual, we ate and talked over dinner and Jordan did the dishes. Mariel went back to her homework and Ismael went to the movies with Danny. I went to my room and decided to read a book that Bonnie gave me, telling me is mandatory to read.

As I start reading, I knew that it was one of her usual s*x books, which are all she read. I laugh a little at the thought of my best friend.

I wake up, realizing I had fallen asleep reading. The book wasn’t boring, but I definitely should try to go to bed earlier, I feel exhausted. I look at my phone, is only 10:30PM. I get up to pee, and then go downstairs to get some water. No one is downstairs, heading back to my room; I pop my head into the kids’ rooms. Jordan is slumped and Mariel is on the phone, by the sound of it, is with Beth. I get her attention, she looks at me and I point at my wrist, letting her know that is about that time and to go to sleep.

I walk out and as I walk back to my room l hear the front door open and close. I wait and see Ismael walk up the stairs. Reaching the top of the steps before he notices I’m there, “Mami you didn’t have to wait up for me” he says, going to his door.

“I didn’t, was just getting some water, and how was the movie?” I ask.

“It was good” he says.

“Don’t forget to get your stuff together for tomorrow, goodnight” I tell him.

“Will do, goodnight”

I walk in my room, but I was completely awake now, so I grab the book picking up where I left off. I read about five chapters by the time I fall asleep again, and I’m pretty sure there were at least one s*x scene in each chapter.

6:00am: I wake up to my alarm; my heart is racing in my chest and a moan coming out of my mouth. I’m all sweaty and all wet between my legs; I get up and walk into the bathroom touching my face feeling hot. I get in the shower and my body seems to go back to normal.

The rest of the morning goes by as usual, I make the kids breakfast and lunches, I drop them off before heading to work.

“So, guess who I just saw pulling into the spot next to me!” Comes Bonnie’s voice from behind me, making me jump as we walk to the elevator. “Girl!! You need a damn bell” I exclaim.

“Mr. Hot and Handsome is back I guess he took the job” she continues completely ignoring my mini heart attack.

“We knew he would, you forget he had me as his tour guide” I say, my voice confident, knowing damn well he saw me almost bust my ass at least half a dozen times yesterday.

“Yeah, yeah” Bonnie rolls her eyes at me and I laugh.

We just go on the elevator and Bonnie makes me hold the elevator for like 10 minutes trying to wait for Mr. Hot and Handsome, but he never shows. I’m pretty sure she wanted to ride more than the elevator with him, s**t I wouldn’t mind doing something else with him too. I think to myself walking into my office picturing myself pressed against his bare chest and his hand in my hair pulling my head back as he kisses and sucks on my neck. I feel a blush creep up my cheeks as look up, to see Jonah leaning against my desk as he looks at me and smiles “Good morning, Miss Perez.”

Mortified at the thoughts I was just having and now he is in front of me, feeling my cheeks heating up further. “Good morning” I say realizing I have no idea why he’s in my office. “Is there something you need??” I ask, confused while I signal for him to get his butt off my desk.

“I’m your office-mate, until Mr. Jenkins figures out where to put me” he says with a smile and something in his eyes mischievously.

I scrounge my eyebrows still doubtful “I wasn’t informed of this” I say, thinking is bad enough that I get all flustered and clumsy around the man, Tom wouldn’t do this to me.
