I watch as he walks out of my office. What the hell was that? I stay standing, staring at the chair where he had sat. The chair where for some reason he got a reaction from me. He made me want him. By what?
I look at the chair considering it. He did nothing diferent to the other guys. Many acted like him, so why did I feel like that? All I can come to is thinking it is him. He is the reason. I don't need to check on him as long as I get that payment tomorrow. So why did I tell him to ensure he checks in every few days?
Part of me knows it is because I want to see him again, I want to touch him, fuck me. Which is crazy. No man can come into this life. All the men will see this as fun, a way to gain power and take power from me.
I won't stand down or become my mother. I don't want that. This is my city and I know most men will walk into here and a relationship and take over. They will expect me to sit quietly and do as I am told and nothing more.
No, I want
I wave to the guy as he drives the shitty car out of my garage. Grateful it is gone. After yesterdays events today I just want a quiet day. I sit back in the seat and relax. Work is quiet, or kind of. "Hey, you got it?" I look towards Dean and nod. "Yes, shut the door." He closes it and walks farther in. "This is the location to collect it from. Here are the keys. Had a fresh paint, licence plates changed, heres the docs." I hand him the keys and papers. "Ten k right?" He looks at me. "That is what we agreed for the car." He places the envelope down and walks out. It's a side business, kind of. I have a guy working for me outsidde the city. He takes a car, I clean it up, refresh it and sell it. They know it is stolen but ten k for a decent car that would cost ten times that is a good deal. I get to work on fixing the car that was brought in this morning. Hours passing as I do. My mind goes to Serena. I hear his bike first, then his boots stomp
I sit and look at the screen. He paid, but he paid less than he was meant to. Why? I feel annoyed, maybe because it means now I have to find him. Sure I can send some guards to get him and bring him back but that clearly didn't work last time.So, this time I will go. I find myself working most of the day, most people have heard about Sam so they are all too eager to agree and pay. It means I barely have to threaten anyone, which is great because I know Mr Lewis will put up a fight.Why not pay? That is what I don't understand. If he didn't have enough why not say that when he was here? The only reason I can find or think of is he is trying to push me, does he want a reaction?I watch as Dwayne walks in."She brought a baby." He looks at me and is clearly pissed off."And? I don't see the issue, why is that an issue?""She should know to come alone. She brought the baby as a way to try protect herself." He stands clearly annoyed."Oh,
Waking, I roll over to find my bed empty. Just like always, Mel has this thing where she dissapears before I wake. It kind of confirms that this is nothing more than sex. I climb out of bed and walk to the kitchen, the empty bottles laid on the kitchen side.That is strange, normally she grabs them as she leaves. Shaking it off I walk to the bathroom, I don't remember last night. I do, actually. I remember the resturant, Serena's eyes on me as I came.I remember so much of that, then we got back here, drank, and spoke. Then nothing. I laugh slightly. Maybe drinking that much was the wrong thing. It's Sunday, so today I will just sit and relax.I hear the knocking and groan, or not relax. Walking to the door I open it and watch as Rooster walks in. I watch as he throws himself down on the ctair. His foot tapping, I have a bad feeling about this.I go to close the door and it gets stopped, I look up and see Jessie. Okay, was I that drunk I did something, me
I don't know why I agreed, but I did. His words were real, what happened in the resturant had an effect on me and nothing I say will change that. It was messed up, I shouldn't have found it alluring or a turn on.I stand looking in the mirror, unsure of why I keep getting changed. It is a business meeting, not a date. Even if he sees it as a date, it is nothing more than a business meeting. I glance to the dresses on the other side, pulling the hangers across and moving the clothes I pick one up.Elegent and red, the dress is tight and the plunging v line comes low. Just as the slit up the side comes up hight. Deciding to wear it I put it on and get ready.Stepping out Dwayne is waiting."Miss Pierce." His eyes stay on my face and I nod to him. "The car is waiting, how many guards would you like?" He stands and walks behind me."Just two, outside. They are not required inside the resturant." It is business, and I don't like talking business with my
I watch her leave and all I can do is smile, I am getting closer even if she doesn't realise it. Even if she refuses to accept the move, I am getting closer. I spent the morning digging up information.There was barely any there. She has dated a few people but nothing serious and it has me wondering why? There has to be a reason, so I will keep trying to find out what. She has secrets, but I am guessing those secrets we're shared close. So close they will die with her like they had her father."Well?" I look up to see Mel sit down."She loves me, what can I say?" I laugh as she joins in."Yeah, right. However, I found out something." She moves and gets closer, bringing up Facebook I look at her confused. "Just wait." I do, and I watch as she scrolls through and pulls up a profile, scrolling through it is pretty much blank.No profile picture, no town, no city nothing. All the posts are generic. Until she stops and I tilt my head."That's Ser
The business meeting with Diesel was awful. For some reason I found myself craving him, yet giving in to him isn't good. So I tried ignoring the intense need for him and then walked away.His business proposal was amazing, but everything else just felt like a joke."Miss Pierce." I look up to Dwayne."Yes.""Mr Prent is here.""Let him in." I turn to the computer and load up Mr Prent's files. I glance through them quickly. This is someone else I have never dealt with. I have no idea why he requsted to come here."Miss Pierce." I look up and smile."Mr Prent, please take a seat and tell me how I can help you.""Your father and I were close Miss Pierce." He leans forward putting items on my desk. "We were discussing and in the plan of making a new deal, a new business. As you acn see there. It was kept off the record as he was worried his PA may see it and speak of it. I am hoping, we can continue the deal and business together."
It has been a week, and I have heard nothing from Serena. I had thought she would message, but she didn't. I paid like a good little pup on time and the full amount.Still, nothing. I'm not sure what else to do? Rooster says slow, Mel is telling me to run for it, and taunt her. Taunting is fun. Yet, Rooster is right. If I continue to taunt Serena and she is broken, it will drive her away."Diesel." I look up and see Rooster."Hey, everything good?""No idea! Jessie has a job but won't tell me shit! I tried following her but I lost her.""You sure she isn't lying?" It wouldn't be a first for Jessie."I'm sure. I know you don't want to but can you talk to her? She won't tell me Diesel, and I am hoping she tells you."Oh great, I stare at him."Are you fucking crazy? This week has been silent! Not once as she tried stripping around me." I laugh.If I contact her it starts all over again!"Okay, forget it!" I watch as
I sit annoyed at myself for letting it happen. More that I did, I was the one who leaned forward and kissed him.I'm even more annoyed at myself that I then freaked out and shouted at him, which makes me look like some crazy woman. I need to keep my distance from Diesel, I have no idea what he is trying to gain or wanting to gain from me.He wouldn't be the first man to proposition me since my dad died, and most of them just wanted in and to gain power. To lose their debt and forever have immunity. None of them actually wanted to be with me. Sure, they liked that it meant they got to share a bed with me, but not one took their time to find out who I am.No, they went straight to business talk, asking about things they had no rights to. They tried to find out information from my point of what they would do if I was to accept their proposal of marriage.I can't let just any man in, I would rather marry someone who I hated and wouldn't have a relationship wi
