I reapplied my strawberry lipstick before knocking on Peter's door. He opened it instantly as if he had been waiting for me on the other side of door and led me to the sitting room
"Thanks for coming." He said and hugged me "I almost thought I did something wrong"
"Of course not" he released me and made his way to his usual spot on the couch
"The delivery man should be here in ten"
"What did you order?"
"You favorite food"
We ate our food in total silence and watched wrestling for some time before the atmosphere changed.
On my way there that night, I decided to give him another chance. Maybe if I explained to him what and what I wanted in a relationship, maybe he would bend his rules.
He shifted to my side of the couch and started touching my hair the way he always does. His breathing becoming more fast and when I was expecting his kiss was when he got up.
He went to the TV and turned it off and was about to turn off the sitting room light when I spoke.
"Stop"
He gave me this curious look before asking why
"I hate doing it in darkness"
"You've been doing it in darkness for the past four years"
"I know but I don't like it"
"Are we back at this conversation?"
"Maybe"
"But lexi, try to understand me"
"Peter, you try to understand me. There is no big deal in we doing in it with the light turned on and there is also no big deal in we doing it without our clothes on"
"Lexi"
"Give me a tangible reason why we should do it with the light turned out"
"I don't just like it"
"Because you don't like something doesn't mean I should also hate it" I said while making my way to him seductively
"I want to kiss you. I want to look at your face as I pleasure you. I want to touch your skin while you make love to me not your clothes. I want to touch you, suck you and lick you. I want to feel you cock at the back of my throat. I want to taste your cum as..."
"Enough Lexi. Enough. Who is teaching you all this? Who are you moving with?"
"No one. I'm just telling you want I want in a relationship"
"Those things aren't right Lexi. You are on the wrong path"
"Says you, and where was it written that making love in the darkness with your clothes on is the right path"
"Lexi!"
"Don't Lexi me! I'm trying to tell you what I want in a relationship"
"But they aren't right"
"Says who? Says you. Anyways, I don't think I'm right for you since our tastes are different" I said and started making my way to the door
He blocked my way at the last minute and gave me an intense look
"Let me go Peter. I won't listen to your reasons"
"Are you seeing someone else?" He asked
That question caught me off guard but I adjusted my expression before answering him
"I love you Peter. I gave you my virginity and how you're going to pay me back is by asking me such an insulting question" I said aggressively "I've told you what I want and since you can't give it to me, let me go"
"I'm not insulting you. You know I will never do that. I'm just trying to work out some things and you should try and lower your voice. We have been dating for how many years now?"
"I don't have time for that"
"Please"
"Five"
"And you have never raised your voice on me for once. We started having sex about four years ago and you've only complained a few times. Everything was fine between us throughout last week but this week has been strange. I love you Lexi. Don't do me like this"
I knew he did love me but love alone isn't going to satisfy my thirst for real sex
"Try to accept my wants and everything is going to be fine between us. Excuse me"
"Let me give you a ride"
"You don't have to"
"I want to"
"Fine"
On Friday morning, I woke up as usual, fed Mama and microwaved some pizza for myself. I got a cold diet Coke and sat on the couch to continue my movie when a message popped up on my phone.

Dear Miss Alexi Tyler
We are pleased to offer you a full time position of secretaryship at Stokes enterprise with a start date of 06/25/2018, contingent upon your interview, background check etc.
You will be reporting directly to Mr Jason Stokes at the main office xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We believe your skills and experience are an excellent match for our company.
Your duties are as follow...
I reread the letter over and over again and I was still unable to understand what was going on
What the hell was happening? Why was Stokes enterprise sending me a job offer letter when I didn't even go there for an interview
A post of secretaryship at Stokes enterprise?'
Stokes enterprise was an extremely rich and popular food processing company in the city. It was one of the most competitive companies in the city and that made everything even more weird.
I signed the contract with the thought that they were going to get back at me with an apology that the letter wasn't meant for me.
Before the end of the day, I informed Judith and Cynthia about it, which made Cynthia to be knocking on my door for the second time that week.
"So girl, what were you talking about?" Cynthia asked
"See it for yourself" I replied and gave her my phone
"And you're sure you didn't go there for an interview?"
"Will I be lying. You know I keep nothing from you and you also know that my result isn't strong enough for such a big company"
"And you're going to be reporting to the anonymous Mr Jason Stokes?"
"It seems so"
Mr Jason Stokes was the only child of Mr Adrian Stokes, the founder of the Stokes enterprise, who took over after his father's terrible heart attack.
"I'm jealous of you" Cynthia said
"Don't be yet. What if I get there on Monday and everything was just a prank"
"That is also trueee. What if someone is trying to play a prank on you. That idea didn't even cross my mind"
"No matter what, whether it a prank or not I'm going there to see for myself"
"I think that is a good idea"
I could hardly sleep throughout the weekend and when it was finally Monday, I dressed up in my new suit that I ordered online two days ago and applied a very small amount of my strawberry lipstick.I left my house around 6:30am in the morning and was already there before 7:00am.The securities and the cleaners were the only one around during that time, so I waited for thirty more minutes before people started showing up.The anxiety that everything was a prank was killing me inside but an attractive young lady who was walking towards me with a smiling face gave me some hope."Good morning Miss Tyler" she said while stretching out her hand for an handshake"Good morning""It's nice meeting you. I'm Miss Parker but call me Jada. I'm Mr Stokes Assistant""Nice meeting you too and feel free to call me Lexi""Okay Lexi. Let me show you your office"We took the lift and stopped on the fourth floor. We passed through t
I went to Cynthia's house after work to brief her about what happened"So you trying to tell me that Jason Stokes, the ceo of Stokes enterprise was the guy you had a one night stand with?" Cynthia asked"Absolutely""Wow! Wow! Wow! And now you're his secretary""I'm confused""Likewise I. And he pretended not to know you" she said"Yup. That is what I don't understand. I'm sure me being hired in that company was his handiwork because I know I didn't go to that company for an interview. So why is he pretending not to know me if he like me enough to give me a position I didn't even ask for?""Maybe he is trying to make you feel comfortable first" Cynthia said"Really""Maybe""So what do you think I should do?""Play along. If he acts as if he doesn't know you,you too act as if you don't know him and if he act otherwise, act otherwise""Okay""But what about Peter?" She asked worriedly"We are no more
Jason was one of the people that came to work early on Tuesday morning, which was odd and I being one of this people made me cross path with Jason's anger.He started with the files that the last secretary had left incomplete and why I haven't done them to why I didn't reply to his last text last night."I slept off""You slept off while your boss was texting you?""I'm sorry sir""You don't have to. This shows how serious you really are with your work""I'm really sorry sir""I said you don't have to! And mind you, I want all those files unfailingly today""But...""No but. You may go"I went back to my office with an hectic headache and took out all the necessary files which I knew I had no way of finishing in two days and started going through them.I met up with Stephanie during lunch and she told me a couple of things about Jason"I heard Mr Stokes showed his other side today""Absolutely, I alm
I waited for good twenty minutes before I finally gave up and had started dozing off when I heard a soft tap on my window. I slightly opened my eyes and waited for more which followed not long after.I got scared, picked my phone and started tip toeing out of my room to my sister's when a message popped up on my phone 'Open the window, it's me'"What are you doing here?" I whispered"Can I come in?""It's late""I know but I don't think I can survive tonight without you""Meaning?""It's cold out here" he said dodging my question"Okay, come in"I made way for him and watched as he climbed my window with ease"So it's true?" I signaled to him to lower his voice"What do you mean?""So you really sleeps naked""Of course, do you think I w
"Lexi! Lexi! Lexi!" I heard my sister's voice from far away, I was in a dreamKnock knock"Lexi aren't you going to work?"Knock knock knock knock knock"Lexi! Lexi! Lexi!" She thundered and that got to me"Yes" I answered sluggishly"Aren't you going to work?""I'm going. I will go""You are going to be late"Last night came back to me and I checked the room instantly for Jason, who was gone"Thanks for waking me up""You are welcome. I will be on my way now""Alright bye""Oh Lexi!""Yes""We're out of groceries, so make sure to get some on your way back home. The money is on the table""I might come home late. So maybe you should get it instead""You going out with Peter?""No. I and Peter are no longer a couple""What!? What happened?" Since when?""We just decided to break up since we are no longer feeling it""That explains why I've not been seeing him
I changed into a simple gown and waited for Peter, who showed up a minute past seven.The whole ride was in silence and I wondered what was going on. He packed his car and we made our way to a street bench, where we have sat on several times to enjoy the evening cool breeze"Congratulations""For what?""For being employed""Thanks""So how was work today?""Great""So Lexi" he said and breathed in and out heavily"Yes""I'm sorry for not being able to satisfy you. I understand your pain and I'm ready to give in to you"I was shocked by his commitment but I wasn't feeling the spark I once felt for him"Really?""Yes. I've thought about it and I realized that you are right. I'm ready to do anything for you. I love you"I hugged him instead because I couldn't say those words back to him. Not after tasting the startler"I love you so much Lexi. I'm going to do everything you want if you want
I went back to my office to continue the search for the file which I later found in another file on my table."How come?" I thoughtI took it out, matched to his office and dropped it with an I don't care attitude"What is that?" He asked"The file" I answered and went back to my office without looking back even though I could feel his eyes on me with every step I was takingLater in the day, Cynthia sent a text to me and I was about to reply when a very tall and beautiful young lady came into my office"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" I asked with my professional smile plattered to my faceThe woman gave me an irritated look and said just one word which broke my heart"Dixie"'So she is Dixie. I was hoping she wouldn't come'I compared myself to her and I knew I have no chance of competing with her.After spending an hour with him in his office, they left and Dixie waved and winked at me on the
I pulled out some Doritos once I was in her apartment and sat in front of her TV to continue my Adam Lee movie since she too already have the movieFew hours later, Peter texted me 'Thinking about you' which I ignored. I continued my movie and have already started enjoying being unemployed when another message popped up on my phone 'Where the hell are you?' from Jason"Arrogant asshole" I murmured and continued my movie 'Why are you not in your office?'"Ask me one more time" I said with a mouthful of
