A notification from my phone woke me up.
I looked beside me and saw the man from last night fast asleep beside me. The hangover from last night made my head throb softly, I slowly massaged my temple as I rose up from the bed.
Sitting upright on the bed, my eyes landed on the man in bed again and the realization of my actions hit me.
I just had s*x with a random man.
‘So much for having a few drinks’ the little voice in my head taunted.
My breath fastened as my phone vibrated again. I picked it up and my eyes widened at what I saw.
Fifty missed calls?
I rose up from the bed as my heart raced. I wrapped my body with the duvet with one hand while the other went through the messages on my phone.
There was a bold text from my newly wed cousin.
“YOUR PICTURE IS EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY! WHERE ARE YOU?!”
"Please... don't stop…” she gasped in pleasure.
I grunted as I thrust myself deeper into her folds.
Excitement rushed through my veins as her body melted under my arms.
Her soft moans filled the roam as I went even harder.
She bit into my shoulder and…
"Mr. Gates."
I snapped out of my reverie back into the plain white room full of old men in suits.
"Sir, you're not focused on the meeting." A member of my board of directors said.
I straightened my back on my chair following a deep breath.
My gaze moved back to the man who was giving a powerpoint presentation about a projection of the company's quarterly fiscal expenditure.
Honestly it was a surprise that I didn't just fall asleep during every meeting like this.
The man droned on as he pointed at monochrome graphs with a Laser pointer.
As soon as I felt the attention of my board member leave me, I relaxed slightly.
My mind immediately went back to the random woman who I had slept with the other day. Damn, it was so hard to get her off my mind lately.
Every time I closed my eyes I would get a flash of her voluptuous naked body. And how warm she felt under me. How sultry her voice had been. And f**k, she was so unhinged that she also drove me crazy.
"Mr. Alexander..." It was the man giving the presentation who called me this time.
I had gotten distracted again. He was drawing my attention to the fact he had finished his presentation.
Damn, this definitely wasn't working at all.
I stood up from my chair. "Thank you for the presentation. Unfortunately something has popped up in my schedule. So I'll have to cancel this meeting."
Immediately grumbling filled the room.
A director rose up, "This is absolutely preposterous! How can you-."
I shot him a cold glare, "Do you want to be kicked out of this corporation?"
He sat back down with a tight frown.
"That's what I thought." I turned to face the others.
"The meeting will be rescheduled." I announced assertively.
Everyone else nodded and left the room one at a time.
The stream of corporate executives eventually ended and only two people remained in the room.
My personal assistant walked over to me.
"Sir." She greeted with a bow. "I have the reports that you asked for." She stretched a handful of papers to me.
"Thank you." I took the papers from her.
I riffled through the papers. I tried reading them but instead a scene kept playing through my mind.
A passionate kiss from my mystery woman and a love bite.
I dropped the papers on the table in front of me.
"Are you alright Sir? You seem... distracted." My personal assistant stated.
"It's nothing." I replied.
At least it should have been nothing.
Why was that lady still on my mind? I was even so distracted that everyone else had noticed too.
This wasn't my first tryst and it was unusual for the act to be stuck in my mind this much. Compared to how I never saw my partners after the night, I found myself wanting her again.
The mere thought of her gave me a b***r. My body yearned for her. I wanted those lips against mine again. And the warmth of her body.
"If that's all Sir. You have another meeting in an hour. Should I reschedule that too?" My P.A. inquired.
"Yes, please." I sighed softly as I closed the files.
I was in no frame of mind for any meeting.
This was becoming a real problem.
I definitely couldn't be in love right now. That was just ridiculous to think. I definitely didn't believe in that true love nonsense. Just flirting was enough for me, thank you.
Love was just a weakness and nothing more.
But I had to admit that there was something to this girl though. At least she would make a very good f**k-mate.
I needed to see her again but I hadn't taken her number.
That was how I usually operated. But now it was an issue.
My P.A. excused herself and went to take care of other matters while I remained in the meeting room, thinking of how to solve my problem.
Then it came to me in a flash.
She had seemed like a regular in the nightclub. So I would just head back there and likely find her.
I stood up from my seat feeling a lot better. I'd head to the club later tonight with hopes of seeing her again.
A smug smile crept onto my face.
...
Three weeks.
I rubbed at the dark circles under my eyes. It has been exactly three goddamn weeks since I had been visiting that club every night.
I never saw the lady I was looking for and I also lost hours of sleep. I couldn't even focus on my work anymore.
A knock disrupted my thought process.
"Come in." I demanded.
My P.A. had given me files to read through and authorize with a signature. Since I couldn’t read them, I just tossed them aside with thoughts to attend to them later.
I looked up as my P.A. walked into the room.
“What is it now?” I asked.
‘Did I have to cancel another meeting?’ I wondered.
In retrospect I should have asked that girl for her name at least. I felt so stupid for not doing something so simple. Now I knew absolutely nothing about her except how she felt against my skin.
“Sir, I have a report about the earning projection of our rival company.”
“Summarize it.”
My P.A. took a deep breath. “Our rival is quickly becoming very popular in the market. At this rate we will be… displaced.”
Fuck. I couldn’t slack off anymore. I had to focus on my business unless I might lose everything. My board of directors definitely wouldn’t suffer for me for long.
I noticed that my P.A. was still standing there.
“Anything else?” I asked.
“Yes Sir. There are new recruits waiting for an interview with you.”
I sighed. “Let them in.”
My P.A. did as I asked and a stream of people walked into the room.
As the last person entered I rose up my chair with my eyes wide open.
Her eyes locked onto mine. The lady I had been looking for.
I spoke. “You?”
