It Was Impossible Not To Fall In Love

Chapter 8

Life is good people. I graduated last month and my entire family was there including Travis and Ariana. Travis and I have gotten so close that we would normally go on coffee dates and he would make me skip bringing food as he would buy us lunch.

I even stopped taking Ari to school as he is doing it himself and he would ask for my help when he is occupied, and also asked me to help him in understanding her daughter. I couldn't be happier to help. Anita concluded that my boss likes me beyond the word but scared to say but I still think he just likes me and my company like I do with his. I have been making him go on serious dates to find him a woman. Had he liked me beyond he would have protested but nope he didn't.

I haven't seen Mark in the past few months. His calls are not going through. I went to his place but no sign of him. I even went the extent of going to his work and they told me he moved and working there. I ended up buying myself a dildo and let go of anything that says 'man'. It's pretty much doing the same just that I have to hold it and wiggle it to where I want it and there's no body warmth. Nowadays I try by all means not to be in Travis's presence because I tend to undress him with my eyes. I know it's nasty of me to do but I find him s*x appealing.

I am in my office doing work and Melody walks in. She is a junior attorney. She's sweet and loving. I normally help her with case research and all that. I have learnt to know that Brian from the IT department wants her but she's not barking back at him. She says he wants him to end up giving up because she feels like he is after her because of her body. She has a nice body. I used to think I have all the ass but this girl tops it off and the curves she has are something else.

"I know I was here earlier but I still need your help. I feel like I overused the S v Makwanyane case and the court also knows it probably by head. I need some more" she says sitting her uninvited ass down.

"Okay but why don't you ask Mr Adam or Shanice cause they are good with that babes. You know I tried but I can't find any not that I can't but it requires me to read and I have a lot also" I say. I will ask Travis for his file of cases just to be of help.

"I understand baby girl you have been nothing but the best to me and I can't complain this once" she says

I am glad she understands and does not think that I am holding information away from her. I want to see her glow in court next week so I am going to ask Travis even though he's going to say "She needs to do the work Talitha.We are not here to spoon feed people". I internally roll my eyes at the thought of it.

"So babes, where are we clubbing this Friday" Melody asks. She is so settled right now as if it's lunch

"Umm I wish to say but again you know how our boss normally overworks me" I say replying to an email from a guy named Josh from Webber Wentzel. He is requesting a meeting with the boss tomorrow.

"I am still saying this dance on his d**k once and he will give you day off all the time" she says with a straight face.

I laugh. Argh Mel is crazy. She also thinks that Travis likes me more than the word itself. She would be like "Did you see how he looks at you".

"Girl please I have been with this guy for almost two years now and still the same look just at a different relationship level." I say

"Okay. Let's bet that one day he will confess his feelings to you. It might not be today or tomorrow but eventually even next year" she says

I bet with her and we give till next year March which is in 6 months. We continue chit chatting about everything until she goes to her work space. I continue working

It's now lunch time. I am the one who brought lunch today meaning Travis will come to my space. I have my own office now. I was not comfortable as I found him more than once with the same woman trying to make out so I asked for my own space and the boss didn't protest. The same man they say likes me. Why would he be flirting with other women in front of me.??

"What are we having today Talili" he says as he walks in without knocking. Well I do that also

"Only Brian calls me that and I hate it but he is Brian" I say, taking the lunchbox bag. We are having rice, chicken and veggies today. Wait for the complainants

"Let me go warm up, I am coming" I say walking to the kitchen with two lunchboxes. The kitchen is not far from my office.

I come back and give him his food. I said wait for the complainants. I joined the gym two months ago so I am trying to eat healthy. He will have to join in my healthy eating because I can't prepare two different food every day mom would resurface!!

"So we are rabbits today" he says biting the quarter leg first. Meat will be the death of him.

What did I say again about complainants?? We continued eating as I just answered with "you won't die boss. Rabbits are active so maybe after the food you will be". He just chuckled and focused on his food. We held a light conversation about his meetings tomorrow and he asked me to accompany him to the one in Webber Wentzel. I continued with work as Travis left to court until knock off time.

My ringtone disturbs my music.

"Hello" I answer. It's an unsaved number

"Finally I get a hold of you" he says. The voice

Why me God!? Why now actually. This guy has been out of my life and now that I am happy he decides to show up.

"Danny" I say irritated

"How are you?" He asks. I am so worked out right now that I decided to park at the garage.

"I am good how can I be of assistance to you" I ask. Travis likes to say that I like being formal even on casual times

"Look I know it's been years since we spoke or saw each othe but may I please see you" he says.

"And what would be our meeting all about Dan" I ask. I feel like if I drive I'll lose it

"I just want to talk that's all, please Talitha" he says.

If it was years ago ne. I would be at his mercy and screaming please come now baby but not anymore. I hang up on the call and block his numbers.

I drive home to my favourite song I'm Ready_Anthony Hamilton. I put the lunch bag on the kitchen counter and go shower. I have to cook after. Just as I come out my phone rings. I hope it's not that punk cause I swear on my mother's whereabouts I am going to kill someone. It's Travis

"Please let it not be work a girl needs some rest"I say and he laughs. His laugh is very sexy. He doesn't laugh often maybe that's why

"Your lazy ass better not be because I need you to email me some documents and also trace Jonah's invoices on your side. I feel like someone at the company is tapping on fraud" he says

"I was about to prepare myself a warm meal and wine but then my love and his instincts" I say. It's the first I am calling him my love. He normally calls me babe

He chuckles."What did you just call me" he asks.

"I called you my love. Now let me do my work" I sigh

"I like what you called me. It's sounds sexy and uncommon coming from you" he says. Is he flirting with me

"Mhmm okay. Now can we get to work Mr P" I say smiling to my self.

There's a knock on door. I just wonder who it could be. I am glad that pest does not know where I stay cause after my brother gave me his house I moved in to it. I wear my gown as I have not moisturized my body. I walk to the door. Travis Patton!!!

"Ta—da. I brought us dinner so we can get to work" he says with his million dollar smile.

Wow. Did he have to come here I mean I can work on my own. I honestly can't stand this guy's presence without undressing and riding him in my head. I clench on my gown at the thought of it. My c**t twitches. Dammit Talitha!!

"Make your self comfortable. I am going to dress up and join you soon" I say walking to my bedroom. I can feel his eyes on me.

I moisturize my body and settle on wearing trackpants with a vest and sleepers. I find him taking out the take always from Turn n Tender. He's very comfortable.

"You are so much of a neat freak. Do you really have to pack and label things in that order" he says as I sit on the bar stool and put my laptop on the counter.

"Yes Sir. I can't really deal with untidiness." I say.

We pray and start digging in. He tells me about the guy who normally does invoices and payment process. Apparently there's a payment that is skipped. Talking about someone who manages all the departments of his company.

"How did you find out" I ask

"I always do follow up Tali. I don't trust people who work with money as it can make you greedy"

We start working on the documents I needed to email. We also check the Jonah guy, it turns out he's close to the Finance guy. He is in Deep s**t. We finish work at 8pm and he prepares to leave

"Don't forget about your date tomorrow" I say as I walk him to the door

"This is my last honestly I am done. I don't like your choice of girls" he says irritated

I am hurt. How is my choice of girls? I mean I am trying. I hold my chest dramatically to show that I am hurt.

"It's the truth. I love fun, outgoing, dark skin, feisty and neat women babe" he says as he walks out leaving me standing here.

Wait a minute all the qualities matches mi....... Oh hell no. No no no I refuse. I rub it off. I do the dishes that were here and go to bed. I read a scripture in Colossians 3:23. I pray then rest my head to dream land.
