True Untamed Love

Chapter Eighteen

 -Lisa-

Stepping into her office she noticed a stack of papers on her desk. Lena had told her that she had put them there for her this morning. “I need you to look over the papers on your desk before I can call and make appointment for these houses” she could hear Lena saying in her head. Shaking her head she sat at her desk and got started. She pushed the button on the intercom on her desk.                                                                                                                                          

“Yes Lisa” Lena answered                                                                                                                                                                     

“I need you to call the agency that has the house that Mr. Johnson is trying to buy and find out what’s going on with it. Is it for sell or not? Put me through if you need to”                                                                                                                             

“I’m on it”                                                                                                                                                                                      

“Oh and Lena”                                                                                                                                                                           

 “Yes”                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 “Thanks”                                                                                                                                                                                   

“Um! You're welcome” saying as her voice disappeared from the room. Lisa begins to think about him. If this house is unavailable then it was back to square one. But that meant more time with him and she didn’t know if she was ready for that. So she was praying it was a mix up and the house was still on the market. Trying to pull her thoughts back to work she found herself thinking about him again. Was he okay? Had he forgot about her? Did he feel the sparks that she felt every time they were near each other? “Who knows hell he hasn’t called or said anything since that day we find the house he wanted. That man ain’t gave me a thought since then and if he has it’s probably about the house for his mother that’s about it” saying out loud as she turns her chair toward her door to see Lena standing there looking crazy. Trying to play it off she stands and smiles                                                                                                                                                           

“May I help you Lena”  hoping she had played it off well                                                                                                                                                                      

“Yes I just got off the phone with the people over the house and they say it’s still there but they have more than one person looking to buy”                                                                                                                                   

“Did you tell them that our client is willing to pay the full amount their asking for”                                                                          

 “Yes, but they are trying to raise it up since they have more people interested in it”                                                                             

“Really and how much more are they asking for it now”                                                                                             

“It’s original price was $291,000, but now they trying to say $305,000”                                                               

“That’s not that bad, but still its more then what we talked about from the beginning”                                                                                                             

“Yeah. I could see if it was because of upgrades or something, but they haven’t upgraded s**t. They just trying to get more money out of this”                                                                                                                                                         

“Okay! Now can you call Mr. Johnson so we can setup a meeting for us to fix this matter.  I need to know what he wants to do from here”                                                                                                                                            

“Okay and I’ve left a message for Mr. Parkers. Letting him know that their paperwork is here for them to sign. So when they call and setup something I’ll let you know”                                                                                       

“That’s great keep up the good work” smiling as she sits back at her desk. Time was moving slow, but her work day was almost over with and she had only a few more files to look at. She stacked up her folders neatly on her desk and got ready to head home for the day. As she was walking to grab her jacket off the coat rack Lena was clearing her desk.                                                                                                           

“I guess we both ready to go huh”                                                                                                                                       

“Has time been moving slower today or has it just been me”                                                                                                        

“No it has been dragging and it’s made me tired” laughed Lisa                                                                                                  

“Me too. Well ’ll see you in the morning. Drive safe” waving to Lisa as they got into their car and head home. . Pulling into the garage to her home. All she could say was “Home sweet home” she was ready to see her bed. She hope it was ready for her. She made it to her room and jumped on the bed and that was all she wrote. 

-Markat-

So far the week was going well. The boys were on their jobs. Markat had to meet some people in St. Louis tomorrow. Things were looking up for him. He didn’t have any drama in his life. He was about getting his paper and if you weren’t then f**k you. Grabbing his keys to head out the door he heard his phone beep. As he got behind the wheel he noticed he had a voicemail. Hoping it wasn’t Ant calling him about some bullshit he checked it and called the person back                                                                                                                               

“Grants Real Estate this is Lena how may I help you” answered the woman on the other end                                                                                                                                                       

“Yes this Mr. Johnson and I just received a message from y'all about a meeting”                                                           

“Oh HI Mr. Johnson! How are you today?” Lena said with a flirting tone                                                                                                                   

“I’m good how what about yourself”                                                                                                                                     

“I can’t complain, but Ms. Grant wants you and her to meet because of some issues that has came up with the house you were trying to purchase”                                                                                                        

“Issues like what” asking puzzled                                                                                                                                                                     

“She will tell you in the meeting, but she need you to come in as soon as possible”                                                                         

“Well I can try to meet her tomorrow around three I have a meeting in St. Louis at nine that morning. Which will gives me time to get back for our meeting will that work with her”                                                                                                                                                                        

“Wonderful I’ll let her know. See you tomorrow and have a wonderful day Mr. Johnson”                                                                                                                                             

“You too sweetie” saying hitting the end button. Holding the phone in his hand, he begins to think back to the day that he shared a room with her. Yeah he was in the living room part and she had the room all to herself. But he was there with her and that’s where he wanted to be. Now how was he gonna look her in her face when he hadn’t even called or texted her since then. He didn’t know how this meeting was gonna go, but he would love to see her again.  Coming out of his thoughts he drives to the mall to get something for his important meeting tomorrow. No one knew what he was doing. Just that he had some stuff to handle out of town. Zoe had his instructions and he know he didn’t have to show up in no time soon , but now he had a meeting about his mama’s gift so he had to take care of that too.                                                Hours had pass and he finally gets in the house to pack. Then he headed out to the airport. He had planned to hook up with some old friends that moved to St. Louis. He was going to stay at a hotel that night then stay with his friend for the rest of the week there and then is back home for the weekend. “Hay things change and this is important I can fly back out after I found out was up” talking out loud as he walks out the door heading to the airport.

The flight was relaxing. His hour and a half nap gave him energy for the nite life he was gonna have when he landed. The renter car staff picked him up. He got his car and was off to Hotel Ignacio to get ready to hit the town with his boys.
