Chapter Eighteen
2457 Words
Today I am meeting up with Dan for lunch. So during my lunch break I am heading out to that lunch just around the corner. This guy can't take a I'm busy for an answer. I've been preaching 'busy' but he doesn't seem to get it. Oh and by the way I concurred my fears of meeting Brian and his crazy self was like "don't be shy and worry. We wouldn't mind having you as a Mrs Patton". Crazy much. It's only an hour before lunch. His cologne feels my office and I just know that he is in and didn't knock. At least I developed knocking manners now cause I don't want to walk on him and Primrose naked cause I can see it's leading there.
"Ever heard of a knock Mr Patton?" I ask with my head still bowed down.
"I'm glad that you can even sense my presence Babe" he says coming closer.
There goes me being angry with him. The way he calls me does wonders to me. I lift my head to look at him and whooooa why does this man look different every time. He has trimmed his hair and beard. You are staring Tali. My annoying voice states.
"I'm pretty sure it's for the thousand time I tell you that a picture lasts longer but keep on staring cause I like it when you just get lost in me" he says pressing his phone. Corky much!!!!
"How can I be of your assistance?" I asks and he chuckles
"Why didn't you tell me that you passed your bar exam and applied at the High Court" he says with a changed facial expression that I can't read
"Because I first wanted to share it with my dad then tell everyone" I say in my defence but in actual sense that's about it.
"Congratulations. So you are leaving as soon as your application is approved?" He asks. I can't miss the sadness in his voice
"Yes I am. I just need that experience of being an attorney. I enjoy being your assistant but that's not what I desire or where I see my self in the coming years" I answer.
"Oh okay. I know for a fact that they'll take you. Your articles and marks are speaking for you" he says.
He's trying to be happy but I can see he's not. I am good with reading people's reaction and with this one in front of me. He makes it easy cause he is open and always jolly so the moment his mood changes I can tell. We have been quite close, it's almost close to two years working for him, partying with him and the kisses in between. I think distance also will help in erasing my desire to twerk on his d**k. You know I am starting to think there's something wrong with me. Every guy I meet calls the first time and then after that they disappear when I call back it goes to voicemail. Maybe I am not cut to be loved or to have the D. Maybe I am cursed
"Penny for your thoughts" he asks. Oh I wandered while he is here
"Nothing much. You know I am starting to think that maybe I am cursed in terms of relationships. I mean there are several guys I met but they call me once and disappear into thin air, like no message or explanation they just disappear into thin air" I say. Half problem shared is half one solved
"Maybe they are scared of your perspective of them don't you think the fact that you think we are convincing bastards makes them act that way. Man also want a future with someone Tali so the moment you tell them you are not ready for that they remove themselves from that equation" he says. It makes sense
"Yeah I get that but all I want from them is just what's in between their legs nothing much. Can't they just tap and go." I say and he widens his eyes...... "For real it's not like I have met a potential guy that I would want to be in a relationship with, all of them are just good vibe from the get go but no love. Well let me not make it as though I have had countless ones it's just 4 counting my ex" I add.
"Yeah and they say man are cheaters and what not..." he says and I interrupt him before he finishes
"No no no get me right I never cheated. And also I have never went to this d**k to that while still with the other. I just dispose if its no longer for me or if he starts to catch feelings and get another one. And it's not like I want s*x all the time, no I can go 3 months without it and decide to call my booty person" I say
"Okay fair enough. What's your ideal husband. I know you said you don't have a goal in that department but given a chance to be someone's wife what kind of husband would you want" he asks.
"Okay I don't have ideal one but I would love a supportive, caring and kind one. I am a giver at heart so I would like someone to match that. I also love me some good in bed husband cause I am not about to deny myself to c*m because my man lacks there" I say and he laughs to the last part
"You love cumming" he says laughing
"Of course. See I don't have pimples and I am physically fit. So denial of that would mean I have to endure acne and be grumpy for no reason at all" I say and this time he laughs coverings his mouth not to make noise
"Wow Talitha. Really?" He says.
"Yeah really." I say and my phone rings. my acquaintance doesn't have timing. I ignore it. It's not like I forgot about our lunch it's thirty minutes to it.
"I hope I am not holding you back from answering" he says
"No it's a friend I am meeting for lunch, so maybe he wants to check if we are still on" I say
"Okay my love. Let me leave you into your work then" he says and walks out.
Minutes after an email from Travis gets in. It's his pictures. Oh My Go.... did he just. No he didn't. He sent ten of them in different attires and hair cuts. The subject reads "I always heard that staring is rude but you make it look nice. These are for you so that you stare at them all day so you get a whole picture of how I am cause I can see now you are starting to undress me which makes it unbearable to be in your presence babe." I laugh out after reading the message This man is crazy yazi you know. Meaning he was busy with the email when he got here cause he's been fidgeting with his phone. I look at the pictures and smile to myself. How did one get to have such a crazy and fun boss. One thing I know for sure is that we won't even talk about this. Okay you can stop being a lunatic smiling all yo yourself Talitha. The inner me never wants to see me happy. Oh so you are happy staring at those pictures and blushing. There it comes again!!! Hey leave me alone
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Travis was standing just outside Talitha's door taking a video of her expression when she received the pictures. There's no way he missed seeing her blushing and that laugh!!
"Maybe she likes me too. I just have to ask her out and see how things work out" he thinks to himself
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How are you. I missed seeing your face" he asks. I inwardly roll my eyes
"I am good and how are you"
"I am good. Is work still treating you fine?" Dan asks
"Yeah it is and how's yours?" I ask
"It's good I can't complain. Look Litha I am not here to beat around the bush and say I enjoy us being friends or whatever you call us cause I don't. I love you and I want us to try one more time. I promise I'll be patient with you and abide by the rules you'll set I long as I am with you" he states. Oh save me Lord!!
"Dan I am not cut for a relationship. I don't even want to try it. I am good where I am and concerning us I think it will be unfair of me to say we should try while I know exactly that I don't feel the same way about you. I forgave all that happened between us but moving forward I can't take it up to a relationship" I state. Can someone please call to save me
"That's why I said let's try Talitha. We going to take it one step at a time. If there's no kissing then I'll accept and all that comes with it" he says. Is this obsession or it's still love?
"I really don't want to get your hopes high cause I am good with where we are and I'd like to keep it that way" I state and he shifts uncomfortably
"It's okay I'm patient man and I'll wait". He pulls my hand. Pity I don't feel the butterflies I used to feel. It's just dull...."Just know that I love you and I always have" he says. No sincerity none whatsoever. Just obsession
"I'll keep that in mind. I have to leave. Thank you for the lunch" I say standing up
"No need to mention. I hope to see you soon." He says kissing the back of my hand. I didn't even feel it being pulled
I head back to work. I pass by Mel's office and find her buried in work. Isn't she suppose to be eating. I take my lunch break serious even when I finish eating early I make sure I don't start with work.
"Aren't you supposed to be enjoying the last few minutes of your break?" I ask
"I wish. There's so much to do" she says exhaling loudly
"What's the work all about so I can help where I can?" I ask. I always help her where I can and ask Travis for opinion
"Thank you my love but I am almost done with this one. I will come to you for the Wednesday one so you help me brainstorm" she says.
"Okay Mrs Patton" I say and she blushes. Poor thing is inlove..."That much in love huh?" I ask and she giggles
"You have no idea. Dude I dreamt of me and the prince Williams shagging" she says and I can't help but laugh at her
"Really b***h?" I ask laughing as I can see she's serious
"Yeah for real we were in one of his owned apartments" she says
"Where did y'all meet to begin with" I ask. She's standing up. I know she's about to demonstrate
"He came to this other bar where I was with my friends" she says. I can't stop laughing
"Mel an entire Prince at the bar without some guidance or security roaming around him?" I ask
"Listen he was just there and I didn't see no security, the next thing I know we in his apartment naked. I asked him how did I get there and his answer was I kidn*pped you. I got worried and checked my self. He stood there laughing and he was like don't worry I am the type that ask, we didn't do anything I am waiting for your consent Princess. Didn't I just jump on him. He muffed me till I was left with no c*m then gave me few minutes to recover." She says and I am dead laughing with tears.
"The crazy thing is I am not even attracted to his white ass girl. I would've understood if it was August Alsina but no it had to be him" she says
"Well I guess it's because he is straight behind and you love you some ass man" I say
"Exactly. I don't care if my man can flex his muscles as long he's got ass. But let me state, Duke straight f****d the s**t out of me. I got myself bending over like this and throwing my legs in the air." She says demonstrating in between and I laugh more
"Dude really?" I ask
"Yeah man and I enjoyed every minute of it" she says
"Tell me about the white anaconda how was it like" I ask. She licks her lips
"It was dignified and confidential. That d**k my friend was royalty" she says and I laugh at how she just said royalty. Oh Mel
"Wow girl atleast you got laid in your dreams" I say and she laughs..."Why is dream s*x better than real s*x" I ask.
"Because in the dream they c*m when you want them too. So when you are done they are done too" a male voice answers. It's Travis I can't miss his scent. Mel and I both turn to look at him
"Oh yeah it makes sense right?" Mel says. Well as for me I am just dumbstruck
"I was looking for you and I thought I'll find you with the s*x therapist cause lunch elapsed 5 minutes ago" Travis says. Me and Mel laugh
"OMG why am I a s*x therapist?" She asks and he laughs with "I am joking"
We head out. I get to his office and he hands me the paper work. I then move to my office and find a brown with gold wrap basket with mini champagne, chocolates and a card. "Congratulations on passing the Bar. I wish you more in life. Cheers..Your Cool Boss". Ncooh isn't he the coolest boss though? I turn to go thank him but find him on the door with his phone probably taking a video.
"Thank you" I say. I feel like I am going to break in front of him. So I go close and hug him for good 2 minutes
"You welcome and deserve more cause you have been the best assistant one could ask for" he says. I pull out from his embrace and walk to my desk
"For a moment it felt like you were saying your last words" I say and he laughs.
"I just came to capture your facial expression. Bye I am glad you like the hamper" he says and walks out without giving me a chance to say 'bye'.
