Damsel Not

CHAPTER 10

"Hey James," Katie chimed excitedly.

James looked up to find his overbearing client standing in front of him. A large cup of coffee in hand. He liked her, she had too many demands, but he liked her, he liked that she knew everything she wanted in her house design.

"Katie," he called out.

"Fancy meeting you here."

"Likewise, care to join me, please?" He offered, motioning to the chair opposite him.

"I hope I'm not interrupting," James took a quick glance at his watch. "Waiting for someone?"

"Yeah, a friend, he's late." or brother. Katie thanked him and slid next to him.

'So how's your house so far, liking it?" James liked to be constantly appreciated for his good work, Katie had seen it before.

"Oh I'm in love with my house James. It's fantastic, and everything I wanted. You did a splendid job. I believe meeting you here was somehow fate because I intended to seek you out later, I want my bathroom remodeled, starting with the bath tab. I'm tired of the one I have." She informed him happily.

She was a good client, never out for a quick fix and was always willing to put in money where it was needed. If he took this project, his Christmas bonus would be higher than his brother Jean's. Oh, he was totally going to rub it in his face. Second time clients, especially like Katie, was huge for the company.

"Definitely, I'll send you the paperwork as soon as you are ready, then we can start working right away."

"That would be just wonderful." Katie heard the door chime and saw the tension in James' face.

James had to get his damn stupid brother away before he decided to up the game and f**k yet another of his clients. He quickly rose from his chair and harried to meet his brother before he can sink his claws in his now favorite client.

"Give me a minute."

He walked into his brother and with all his force pushed him back out the door. Jake stumbled several times before they finally stood outside.

"You are late."

"What does dad want?" He asked impatiently.

"He's worried you've gone down the drain again. He's asked me to hand deliver you to him before he sends his people to deliver you instead. Where have you been, your house has been deserted for weeks." James placed his left hand on his waist and the right on his lips and looked at his brother expectantly.

"I met a woman." Jake smiled.

"Oh God, I'm too late, you are already down the drain. What does she want, does she know who you are? Oh no, father will disinherit you this time. But we don't have to tell him, we can handle this, a few thousands and she'll vanish. I hope she's not pregnant again. I swear if dad was not so headstrong you'd be raising a gazillion pups that aren’t even yours."

Jake looked at his brother and smiled warmly.

"This time, my name doesn't mean a thing to her. She doesn't even seem to remember my full name."

James began to pace.

"Oh she does, remember Heather, she never even asked to know your name, and then boom, If you leave me I'll go to the news and say you forced me to abort."

Jake placed his hands on his brother’s shoulders to calm him.

"I've learned my lessons brother: Don’t fall in Love quickly'. But this time it's real."

James had heard this before, all of it. His brother liked the innocent ones, but sometimes those innocent ones’ were in disguise. The cafe door opened and Katie walked towards him. If he wasn't so disoriented with his brother’s news he would have acted quickly, or rather he would have seen the twinkle in his brother’s eyes, but when he finally composed himself, Jake was taking Katie into his arms and kissed her intently. He saw how he held her so close to his chest, how passionately he kissed her, and he saw his bank account begin to lose money. With every stroke of their gentle lips, he lost a thousand shillings, with every moan that escaped her lips, he lost ten thousand, his heart couldn't take it.

"No, no, no, no, no, NO!" He yelled. "No! Not her Jake, not her. She's my client." He began to pace again.

"Forgive my manners. Katie, this is James, my brother, James Katie, my girlfriend." Katie melted at the introduction. She swooned and James almost cried.

"I'm so screwed." He mattered under his breath.

"Excuse me," Katie looked at him.

"Nice to know you too finally met. Even despite my hard work to prevent it." He exclaimed. "I'll see you on Monday Katie. Brother." He said and turned to head to his car. He pulled out and left hurriedly and the two of them began to laugh.

"Oh he's going to have one hell of a night."

“I actually do like my bathroom you know, that's how I've always wanted it."

"Don't worry, when you meet on Monday, I'll have given you a plan for that extra bedroom you have downstairs. I'd like to transform it into something interesting. You'll ask him to have an NDA ready." Jake grabbed her ass and pulled her back into his arms. She liked to be discretely groped in public; it gave her a rush of not being caught. He lightly spanked her ass and dragged her back to his car, he felt like giving her another orgasm as they sped away on the highway, and he'd do exactly that and, she was driving.

"Shot gun!" He called out and threw his keys to her.
