As kaisha left the restaurant, she didn't stop a cab to take her home... instead she just wanted to walk and clear her head. she walked home in low spirits.
"isn't this funny?? I got stood up on my first date"
"why did he approach me if he already had a fiancee"
"he's just a scumbag that doesn't have an ounce of respect for his fiancee"
"how do I face him tomorrow... aishhhh"
"and Mr Marshall??... he'll make jest of me when he finds out the date flopped"
kaisha spoke to herself as she walked on the sidewalk, making people tun to check if she was mentally okay.
All the while she walked home, she didn't notice a black Lamborghini Aventador that trailed slowly behind her.
On reaching her apartment, she freshened up and changed it a cute unicorn onesie.. it was an overall that looked like a unicorn costume, the hood of the onesie had a 3-dimensional unicorn horn.. kaisha loved to sleep in onesies because they were warm and comfy.
though nobody knew she still slept in onesies, it'll be embarrassing for someone to find out.
kaisha was in the kitchen slicing her favorite fruit, strawberries.
she was about to binge on some movies. so she was getting her snacks ready.
****
After getting settled on the couch, already watching a movie. she heard a knock.
"who's there, I'm coming" kaisha sauntered to the door... she didn't even check the peephole before opening the door.
what came to her view shocked her... her plate of freshly sliced strawberries almost fell, but a sturdy hand supported the plate.
Javier.
"is this how you open the door for people without checking from the peephole, what if it was an armed person" Javier scolded her as soon as she opened the door.
"wh- what are you doing here?" she was trying to think about what would bring her boss to her house at that odd hour.
"aren't you going to invite me in?" Javier asked, but didn't wait for her reply before her made his way in.
he was still in his well tailored grey suit that he had worn in his office.
kaisha closed the door and joined him in the living room.
he turned around and sized her with his dark eyes... he stood there still staring at her.
kaisha was feeling shy under his gaze, wondering why he was staring at her.. she lowered her face to avoid his stare, and that was when she saw her covered feet, it then dawned on her that he had caught her wearing a colourful unicorn onesie...
with that she ran towards him, stood on her tiptoes and covered his eyes with her soft small hands..
Javier didn't expect her to invade him like that. he stumbled backwards but steadied himself in time..
he rested his arms on her waist and pulled her closer. then whispered in a sarcastic voice. "I didn't see anything"
but unfortunately, his innocent P.A didn't notice the sarcasm in his voice.
"really?.. you didn't see anything??" she removed her hands from his eyes as she asked him, her eyes hazel eyes twinkled as she heard him.
her unicorn's horn was almost poking Javier's nose.
"yes, I didn't see you in your unicorn onesie.." with that he pulled down her hood, her hair came in full view, framing her endearing face.
"...."
"what are you... a five years old girl??" Javier let out a laugh as he stared at her..
she was so enraged that Javier could imagine smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils.
"Mr Marshall.. you..." using her small fists, she punched him endlessly.. but those punches meant nothing to Javier.
"whyy!!" she finally gave up punching him and buried her face in his suit, while gripping it's lapels.
Javier stood motionlessly as she delved deeper in his embrace. she seemed embarrassed.
in a less a minute, a thought flashed through her brain.
'Mr Marshall is my boss, he could fire me.. how could I rain punches on my boss'
she backed away from him arms, lengthening the distance between them.
"uhmm good evening sir.. sorry about that, welcome to my humble abode" scratching her hair nervously.. she officially greeted him. she kept a smile on her lips, which was obviously fake.
"..." javier watched her actions..
'she's such a bad actor.. If I wanted to fire her, did she think she could pacify me with this ridiculous act???'
"would it be rude if I asked you what you are doing in my house by 8pm?" she asked through gritted teeth, that fake smile was still on her lips.
"this stuff that smells like bubble gum fell out of your bag as you left my office" as he told her, he reached into his pocket to bring out something.
"stuff that smells like bubble gum??.. what's that?" kaisha was genuinely confused.
"this" Javier stretched his hands and passed the object to her.
"ohhh, a lipgloss.. but you could've waited till Monday, you didn't have to stress yourself.
now you'll have to go back all by yourself, did you bring a driver??"
a plan hatched in Javier's cunning mind as he started to play pity cards.
"I drove alone, and it's a two hours drive to my house" sighing pitifully, Javier looked at kaisha with tired eyes.
"ahh.. what do we do now, it'll be so late before you arrive at your place"
"I can't possibly drive this night, while coming here.. I almost ran into a car, I felt so dizzy" he seemed to be buying her over. he placed his hand on his forehead, like someone having a severe headache.
"so what do we do now" kaisha asked anxiously.
"I could pass a night in your place, if that's fine by you.
but you should agree, because if I were to drive this night and I meet with an accident and die, my legal team would definitely press charges against you.
and you'll have to spend the rest of your life in jail" as soon as Javier mentioned the word 'jail'... it resounded several times in her brain.
she couldn't help but agree. even though it was impromptu.
