"Why are you still here?," Adrian said as he heavily turned to the other side of his bed and blurry saw Rebeka in her pink Lacey robe with her back turned to him as she sat on the bed.
"I made breakfast, honey and it drizzling out there," Rebeka responded in her Hispainic-English accent as she slid the curtain aside a bit that the soothing melody of raindrops on the window filled the room, she let curtain fall, turned to Adrian, bit her lower lip sexily and rubbed her right thumb on his lips
"Honey, what do you think of this weather?" Rebeka added as she laid by his side placing her hand on his chest
"When are you leaving?" Adrian said irritatedly with his eyes wide opened as he rose from his bed. Adrian doesn't like his ladies staying too long in his apartment, the morning after, they start being clingy and showing affections that he doesn't like to reciprocate but his ladies doesn't have any issues with it and they keep coming around
"Soon after you have wired me the money you promised" she said sheepishly looking up to Adrian who is now standing while still laying down
" Rebeka, you can take your leave, I will wire you the five thousand pounds, just go please" he said walking in to his bathroom in his underwear
"Honey"
"This is the same reason we keep having issues. Go," he cut in on her without looking back
Adrian is seated in his office wearing blue light blocking glasses that fit well on his face, going through the files on his desk and he darts his eyes from his laptop to the document in his hand, his phone rings as he stretches his head a bit to get a glance of the caller. The caller is saved with "Bella ❤️❤️" he smiled before picking up
" Hey baby girl" he said as he turned his seat completely opposite his work area facing the floor-to-ceiling windows as he looked lustily at panoramic view
"Are you back from your business trip? I miss you so much" the caller eagerly asked
"Hmm… Not yet. But I should touch down by tonight, I have missed you too, how about you wait for me in my apartment" He bit his lower lip as he brushed his hair backward with his fingers
"You changed your passcode, remember?" Bella said without a break
" oh! That must be Alex, I will ask him and send it to you, I miss you too honey. Bye" he gave a kiss over the phone. Bella has to be the best of his ladies at least for now, as she knows how to respect boundaries, she knows how to clean up and leave without a trace before he wakes or at least leaves immediately he gets to see her morning face.
Adrian turned his chair back to his work area as he already found two figure standing right in front of his desk, a bit shaken by one of them, he tried to compose himself
"Are you just arriving?" He asked without being specific, picking up the file he was working on and moving his gaze between the paper in his hand and his laptop
"No, I have been assigned a desk in the Administrative Office, that was where I was sitting waiting for instructions" Jasmine said in her business voice that spoke firmly without feelings
"How am I supposed to send instructions to her if I need her" Adrian looked up to Alex
"I have been given an intercom that WORKS. WELL. SIR. " Jasmine cuts in as she laid emphasis
"Alex, what is today like?" Adrian remained his gaze on as he folded his hands under his chin
"Your schedule is with her" Alex pointed to Jasmine who already has an iPad laying flat on her left hand as she navigates the screen with her right hand.
Jasmine is not in for any hanky panky of feelings today, she was offered a job and that is what she is here for. She has a lot of bills and needs to sort out by herself instead of being trapped in a man's heart that misses another woman.
"If that is it, Alex you can go pick up my Cousin Bella from the Airport" Adrian said as he looked straight into Alex's eyeball, trying to pass an urgent information which Alex, not being a novice, can already tell. Adrian can't give a room for Jasmine's imaginations, he knows for a sure that she heard his conversation if not all at least the last few lines and definitely the reason for her attitude, so he know for sure he needed to do something
"His cousin? Could they be close enough to miss each other? What do I know" she thought to herself as she looked away like she can't hear them
"Alright sir" Alex said as he smiled bluntly and walked out
"Be fast about it please, you know how childish she can be" Adrian pointed loudly to Alex who is almost at the door. Adrian needed to make it as real and urgent as possible for Jasmine to believe. Alex closed the door behind him
Jasmine abit chilled about what she just heard, took a deep breath that contained her estacy
Adrian watched her closely as her shiny lips moved at each words, he had the lip in an extreme closeup shot. He rose from his seat as he walked to her and sat on his desk right beside her
"Your schedule for today is quite" she said in her soft and light voice as he interrupted
"What does that have to do with us" he cut in and he drew her closer between his laps. He picked the iPad from her hand and dropped it on the table.
Jasmine's heartbeat started playing a loud drum that she wasn't sure if she was the only one that could hear it.
"I miss you" Adrian whispered as he moved his lips to her ears that she could hear him breath, he began to move his lips to her neck line.
Jasmine trying to figure out if he actually meant that he missed her, does the sound of "I miss you " he said to her as genuine as the one he told his cousin over the phone? She couldn't wrap her head around it. What she does know for a fact is, It would never sound alike because the relationship is different, right? She consoled herself ,that his lips on her neck started to tinkle her and she wasn't sure of what is it she was feeling at the moment.
She can't seem to forget the red heels she saw in his office yesterday that had her mind wondering if she is falling in his trap
"Whose heel was it?" She said softly as she pushed him slightly and step back an inch, folding her hand while ready for his response, she doesn't know how to see or hear things and pretend like it never happened. She like to address issue immediately and before she step her foot in, she needs to know what is in
"What?" He asked as he wiped his lower lips, thinking of his next scenario to create even though he really can't remember what heel nor whose
"I saw the red heel in between that table and sofa yesterday" she said a bit aloud pointing to the direction
"Come on babe, we were not aware it was there, Alex was the one who found my mum's heel and he took it to her. She really made a fuss about it. It was hectic" he moved closer to her and gave her a peck.
Jasmine took a exhale while looking away "Does your mum have dementia?"
"Hmm?" he does not know where that question is coming from nor what does she meant by that, he had to be analytical. He scoffed
"Oh. Her missing heels?" he confirmed as jasmine nodded with a smile
"She got the latest Valentino collection and came straight to my office to brag about it, but didn't remember to pick it. Babe, enough about my mom" he continued to melt his lips in hers as she didn't reciprocate, she stood still wondering if what he said added up, how young could his mom be to wear such inches of heel, would she like it in red?, she really can't tell afterall she hasn't been in that societal class yet but from a couple of movies and buzz, maybe Adrian wasn't lying after all, she doesn't know honestly .
She finally took his lips in for some moment when Alex walked in.
They stop, jasmine adjusted herself quickly as she stood behind Adrian
"I am sorry but Layla is here to see you" Alex said
"Alex, you could have just told her I am busy and walk her out"
"I did, you know how cra.." Alex paused "you know how she can be"
"I have an urgent meeting with someone" before Adrian could turn to Jasmine and complete his statement, Layla barged in, she walked in one step after the other elegantly.
"Jasmine, please do well to work on the files now" Alex commanded Jasmine
"Su…re , Sure " Jasmine stammered in confusion as she followed Alex out. Jasmine knew fully well that she has quite a sense of fashion in her and that gave her the tenacity to believe Layla's dressing is an informal dressing, Jasmine followed Alex behind but her eyes followed Layla who is dressed in a gray ruched armless short gown as she walked towards Adrian's direction.
