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 almost freaked out"
"You're going to get use to it" Stephanie said and smiled
"I doubt that"
"Of course, you will get use to it. Everyone of us did. But I think it has something to do with Dixie"
"Who is Dixie?"
"His girlfriend. His anger always have something to do with her"
I involuntarily spilled out the Sprite that I was about to swallow inside my tray and asked "He has a girlfriend?"
"Are you okay?"
"Of course yes. Did he really have a girlfriend?"
"Of course he does. Why are you affected? Don't tell me you are falling for our boss"
"Absolutely not. I can't just believe that anybody can be in a relationship with that freak"
"I think freaks too deserve to be loved"
"Maybe"
I could hardly do anything right after that afternoon incident because the thought of Jason having a girlfriend still couldn't sit well with me.
'If he has a girlfriend that he truly love, why is cheating on her with me? Did he get me a job because he wanted to cheat more on his Dixie with me? If that is the case, I'm going to prove him wrong. I decided and continued with my work.
The company was as quiet as a grave yard when I checked the time which was 6:32pm and the fear of I being the only one still in the office made me make up my mind and packed some files to work on later that night. And I was about to pickup my bag and leave when the adjoining door opened.
I became at alert instantly and prepared to defend myself if I have to
"I didn't mean to scare you. I brought you burger" Jason said
"Thanks but I'm not hungry"
"I know you are. Have some bites"
I collected the burger, but I made no effort of eating it
"Are you through with the files?" He asked and made his way to my seat
"No but I've packed some to take home"
"You don't have to, drop those. You need your rest"
"Thanks"
"Seat down and eat your burger" he said motioning me to the other chair "and what drink do you care for?"
"Any" I replied
He came back with two glasses of wine and handed one to me, which I sipped instantly because I've been thirsty for some time
"Wow, this taste good"
"It does"
"Name?"
"Merlot. It's my favorite"
"It's Cool"
"So how was your day?" He teased and gulped his drink
"Stressful, thanks to you"
"I didn't mean to be that hard"
"But you were"
"I'm sorry" he said and left to refill his cup
"That sounds strange coming from my boss"
"This is not a working hour"
"Meaning?"
"Meaning right now, I'm not your boss. You can call me Jason"
"Like seriously?"
"Yes"
"Noted"
We chatted throughout my eating and I was surprised when there was nothing left out of the burger.
"But you said you weren't hungry" he said and gulped the rest of his drink
"I thought I wasn't. I didn't know you drink this much"
"Sometimes"
I packed my cup for cleaning and wanted to take his when he drew me closer to him and drew my head down for a long kiss which I couldn't resist
"I want to fuck you" he said into my mouth
"Likewise I, but I need to get some things straight first"
"Like what?"
"Like knowing your relationship status"
He stared at me for some time before answering
"I'm single but I'm not ready to commit myself to a serious relationship"
"Are you sure that is the truth?"
"Yup. I missed you" he said and drew me more to himself
"Who is Dixie then?" I asked
He released his hands and gave me an intensed look
"How do you know Dixie?" He asked quietly
"It's shouldn't be a shock to you when it was easier for you to find out who I was"
"What I did was to check your I.D when you were in the restroom and I later did some background check"
"Consider mine too some background check"
"Lexi, joke apart, who told you about Dixie?"
"No one. I found out on my own and that isn't the only thing, she also has an appointment with you on Thursday"
"It's not what you think. Dixie isn't my girlfriend, she is just a girl I used to fuck"
"Okay but I'm still worried"
"You shouldn't be because you are the one I want now"
"And tomorrow, it's going to be someone else and you're going to be repeating the same 'Lexi isn't my girlfriend, she is just a girl I used to fuck'"
"What do you want?"
"Something that will give me hope. A relationship"
He got out of the chair instantly as if I've burned him and his expression once again became hard.
"I'm not interested in being anybody's fool! I'm not interested in a relationship!" He said sharply "I can give you a ride if you're ready to go" he added while making his way to his office
"No need. I'm gonna order a Uber"
"Ok"
I got home, freshen up and was about to go to sleep when a message popped up on my phone
'You awake?'
I ignored the message and went under my blanket when another message popped up
'I know you're still awake. I'm sorry for being a dick'
'Why should I accept your apology when you have no control over your temper'
'You should and you must because I'm your boss'
'Okay sir, I'm going to accept your apology when I'm in the office tomorrow'
'Are you feeling sleepy yet?'
'No, you?'
'Same. What is the color of the pant you're putting on?'
'None. Just I and my blanket'
'You mean you sleeps naked?'
'Absolutely'
'Good night' he texted
'Good night? I thought you aren't feeling sleepy yet'
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
I turned on my phone as soon as I woke up on Saturday morning, took my bath and brush my teeth with an extra toothbrush and was on my way to the living room to continue the movie when my phone started ringing, it was an unknown number."Hello" I said calmly"Where were you last night?" Jason's angry voice asked"It's none of your business""You weren't in your room last night""You have no right to enter my room without my permission""I have every right because you are mine""I'm not yours! I'm nobody's property!""Lexi, I'm waiting for you across the street in front of your house. Come let's talk" he said calmly"I'm busy right now" I said while Cynthia took a seat beside me "I'm with my girlfriend""Wait! what!? Girlfriend?""Yeah girlfriend""But you aren't into girls, are you?" He asked with trembling voice"I owe you no explanation, ex boss" I replied and hung up on him"That guy is really into
"I will be leaving soon because of my sister" I said to him"You don't have to because I've sent her a message that you will be going on a business trip with me this weekend""You did what!? She isn't someone you can mess with. She is my family""I know. I wasn't messing with her""Of course, you were!""I didn't know you are going to be this mad, I just wanted us to spend sometime together but since you don't want to, you can call her and tell her that the trip is cancelled""Is that what you're supposed to say?""What do you expect me to say? I told you I wasn't messing with her""Of course, you aren't messing with her but her younger sister""Are you always this mad" he asked, got out of his seat and started making his way to me"Yeah. Whenever you are involved""But you were this sweet girl during our first night""That was because I didn't know that you are such an asshole""Are you sending me a signa
"We are going somewhere tomorrow evening" Jason declared after another round of sex which ended up on his King size bed."Where?" I asked while facing him on the bed"Wait and see, and your bag is in the closet""Okay but where are we going tomorrow evening?""Wait and see" he repeated"I'm asking because I have no clothes here with me""I ordered some for you. They are in the closet" he answered cockily before shifting closer to me"How come you know my size?""You asked to many questions" he replied and gave me a peck on my forehead"Are you doing that to shut me up?" I asked while looking him straight in the eye"Is it working?""No" I lied"Do you want me to try again?""No and less I forget, are you always alone in this house?""Yeah, most times""And the other few times?""With friends""You have friends?" I asked unbelievably"Yeah. What do you expect""I ca
