my name is Keisha Browns, i am 28 years old and i am shareholder of Pitch Black advertising i lost my parents at a very young age and i was raised by aunt who is a very strict person she is the ceo and major shareholder of the company she has two children Ben and Lucy she calls them demons because they are the most greedy people you can come across. They have been trying to win her approval since they both want to be her successor which is practically impossible she's very hard to please. As for me well me and her get along like a house on fire she has been my rock in this tough life i love her but sometimes she can be impossible. She has been forcing me to get a partner and settle down which im not ready for cause im a workaholic my job is my life i have been going on blind dates for the past month i really hate it. My aunt has been very sick and she's so stubborn that i literally have to force her to go to the doctor. Today is her 60th birthday and im on my way to her house, its going to be super awkward because my cousins and i dont get along. Since they're trying to win over my aunt i bet they're going to play happy family. i finally arrive at my aunts mansion and it looks incredible the decoration were very nice it looks like we're celebrating a queens birthday i bet she's gonna hated she hates it when people over hype things.
Me:Happy birthday aunt Mona
Mona:oh you finally decide to show a face huh? you no longer want to visit your aunt?
Me: i was here last week and you know things tend to get busy at the office
Mona: and you can probably imagine the show those brats were putting on
Me:aunt mona they're just trying their best to win your affection
Mona:pshhh i know my kids and they like their father, they're demons.
i laugh and we head outside and Lucy comes with her son they wish Mona a happy birthday she just gives them a straight face and looks away Ben arrives we then eat over an awkward conversation Lucy and Ben were clearly pretending to be happy to see me when i say we do not get along i mean we dont get along at all. My aunt stands up.
Mona: enough with your little show you brats its making me sick
Lucy :Mother...
Mona:(interrupts her)shut up will ya.(Lucy's face falls from embarrassment and Mona continues) so i know that you have been dying to hear who i will make my successor and after giving it some thoughts i have come to make a decision to let Keisha be the one who runs the company when i retire
we were all shocked by her decision because im not even her real daughter and i know Ben is a greedy bastard but i always thought he would make a better match than me
Ben: Mother please reconsider we all know that i deserve that spot im your heir
Mona: No it's decided
Lucy: you cant do this to us we are your children she's not even your daughter
Ben: mom i have been helping the company bag major clients we both know im better suited for this position
Mona: enough with your yapping its giving me a headache since we're done here im going to bed
i followed her because i was a bit confused by her choice too
Me:Aunt Mona are you sure about your choice
Mona: yes im very sure
Me: but why, i mean we both know ben is better suited for the position
Mona: yes but his greed is going to drive the company to its downfall and we all know that Lucy is an i***t( she hold her chest showing that she is in pain)
Me:Aunt Mona are you okay(i sit beside) maybe we should go to the hopital
Mona: no no im okay
Me: you're not please just go to the hospital
Mona: oh i forgot to tell you i have found a nice boy who will suit you perfectly
Me: Mona.
mona:fine fine i will go to the hospital but only if you go on this blind date
Me: no aunt please enough i dont need a man
Mona:i promise this one is perfect for you
me:Nooo!
Mona: then i guess i won't be going to the hospital too
Me: fine but you better go to the hospital
Mona:tomorrow then i will send you the details of where you will meet( she smiles)
After that i went straight home . The next day i arrive at the office and as i was working my phone rings i check the notification "you look very beautiful miss Brown is that a new outfit" thats what the text said and he sent me a bunch of picture showing that this person has been following me for a while now i got a bit freaked out but i quickly composed myself. My PA jennie came in
Jen: its time for you blind date ma'am and you aunt told me to tell you to not even think about dogging this one
Me:of cause she did , shall we get going then
Jen:yes ma'am
she drove me to the restuarant and she left as soon she dropped me . I got in and a waiter approached
waiter:excuse me ma'am but the restuarant has been booked
Me:(he's so dramatic i mean he didnt have to book the entire restuarant)is the person who booked this place a man
Waiter: yes but...
Me: well im his guest excuse me( i got in and saw a him sitting across the room already eating i mean couldnt he wait for me i walked over to him)hii
Him: sorry didnt they tell you that i booked the place?
Me: yes which is a bit too much if you asked me
Him: and you are?
Me: your blind date
Him:my what?
Me: Keisha Brown ( i gave him my business card) and you are?
Him:Gabriel Fillmore
Me: ( i scanned him he was very good looking and he had very beautiful eyes , tattoos on his right arm but he was dressed a bit too casual for someone who was going on date nice outfit but too casual) so Mr Fillmore what do you..
Gabe: look miss i have a very important meeting right now could you get up and leave
Me:excuse me
Gabe:what are you deaf? i said leave
Me: look im a very busy person myself but i have to be here and believe me i would rather be other places than here .
Gabe: yet here you are disturbing my meal
Me:oh so you rather eat alone in this huge restuarant
Gabe: yes i prefer to eat alone without company thats why i always book this place
Me: you are an odd man
Gabe: and you are very annoying why are you still here
Me:( how can someone this good looking be this rude) gosh you are so rude
Gabe: ma'am if you want to get some of this you can just wait in line like all the other girls
Me: what am i , a dense horny b***h ,no way would i ever sleep with an arrogant ego maniac like you
Gabe: dont worry you're not my type either i dont date nor hit uptight women like you .
Me: ( chuckles) and i know guys like you very well , the manboys who cant handle real women
Gabe:real women? (laughs)
some doggy men suddenly came in
one of the men: are we interrupting something?
Gabe: not at all the lady was leaving
Me:(i scoff and get up) well Mr Fillmore i hope we never meet again
Gabe: likewise(smirks)
i leave in disbelief i mean can you believe how rude that guy was he dared to call me uptight does he know who i am. i head to the hospital to visit my aunt
Me: hey auntie how are you feeling?
Mona: how did the date go?
Me:please dont ask
Mona:oh come one i know he's not that good looking but he's a real nice boy
Me:What are you talking about he was all looks and no manners
Mona: what? are you sure?( she shows me a picture of a really ugly guy )
Me: wait is that the guy i was supposed to go out with?
Mona:yes Author
Me: no but the guy i was out with was Gabriel Fillmore
Mona: Fillmore? why does that name sound so familiar
Me: oh my god, thats it no more blind dates im done
Mona:oh come on
Me:no no more!
Mona:fine, can ypu believe that those brats of mine didnt come to see me
Me:thought you didnt care
Mona: i dont when im a getting discharged ?
Me:the doctor said he's gonna keep you in for a few days
Mona: no i cant be here any longer i have to get put of here
Me: no you dont the doctor said that you have to be here and i kept my end of the deal now keep yours and take care of your health
Mona:(chuckles) atleast you care about me
Me: of cause i do youre all i have ( she pull me into a hug) oh are you getting soft on me now
Mona:( pulls away) no now get out of here you brat (we both laugh)
that moment made me realise that aunt mona also wanted some genuine love from her children too. She might be a tough one on the outside but shes really a sweetheart. Days pass on by and i still get frightening messages from my stalker. its night time and i take a shower as im applying lotion on my body my phone rings
