Andrews
"Spend the night? How could you say that nonchalantly?" She picked up the glass of water and took a long sip. She used her hand to fan her face which was blushing red.
I chuckled at her behavior. This woman has had a corrupt mindset and is attracted to me.
"Why? Is there a problem with what I just said? What are you thinking about?" I asked with my eyebrows lifted, arms crossed and lips slightly curved up in a smile.
She drank a large quantity of water avoiding my eyes. With the way she was acting nervous and shy, I could tell that she was imagining the both of us alone at night.
Not that I minded though, she was hot and no man would turn down a night with her. Not when she was dressed in this sexy outfit too.
I brought my face closer to hers wanting to tease her a little. She blinked rapidly trying to avoid my gaze. She picked up the glass cup and brought it to her mouth again.
"The water is finished. You can stop drinking now" Her mouth instantly took an o-shape when she saw the empty cup. She quickly dropped the cup on the table and kept her hands on her lap fiddling with them.
"What will we do if I spend the night at your place" I coughed awkwardly. How could she ask such a question? I smiled as I thought of a way to tease her.
"What do you think will happen? We will sleep on the bed together. I can cuddle you too if you feel cold, my mouth on your ear whispering you comforting words so you can sleep soundly. Friends do that much for each other don't you think?" I smirked as her face turned red.
She stood up and hastily ran out forgetting her bag. I was about to stand up she ran back inside to carry her bag.
'She is cute'
I laughed at her clumsiness. I stood up and exited the building. I saw her standing close to her car slapping her cheeks lightly. She stopped immediately I came close and cleared her throat.
"Well, thank you for making out time to see me today. I shouldn't keep you for long, you can head back to the office now."
"You are allowed to keep me as long as you like" Her eyes widened at my statement. I guess that came out wrong.
"Never mind what I just said. You can go now" She turned to open her car when I held her hand and pulled her into a hug before I could stop myself.
I breathed deeply inhaling her scent. Since I saw her seated at that table waiting for me, all I wanted to do was hold her close. She feels so small in my arms.
"Will you be okay? I'm not sure it'll be right for you to stay alone tonight. The person might visit your place" I was sincerely worried about her. It would be great if she just accepted to sleep at my place tonight.
"I'll be fine. I've got you looking out for me" She said into my chest. I smiled at her response and disengaged from the hug.
"Okay, call me if anything happens" She nodded and entered her car, and drove off.
I was still staring at the disappearing car when my phone beeped. I checked and it was a text from Ray.
'Where the hell are you!'
****
Arriving at the office I met Ray waiting for me inside. He was lying on the couch, legs crossed playing a game on his phone. He pretended as if he didn't see me come in.
I went to the fridge, took a can of soda, and drank from it. I brought my phone from my pocket and immediately I felt it vibrating, it was Simon my PI that was calling. I had sent him a text on my way back, asking him to call me when he was free.
"Hello, Simon. I have a job for you" Ray paused his game immediately after he heard me mention Simon's name. He knew Simon was my PI and was probably wondering if there was a problem.
"I want you to look into someone named Jennifer Morgans and the people around her" Ray quickly sat up snapping his neck in my direction. It was done so fast that I feared his neck would break due to the speed. He opened his mouth to talk but I shush him up.
"Um, She has been receiving some kind of threats. I sent you the details via email, so look into it as soon as possible" As soon as I hung up, Ray stood up from the couch, taking slow steps toward my desk.
"Did I hear you correctly? Miss Morgans is being threatened? Scratch that, When did both of you become so close that you're willing to help her out"
"Since like forever. I told you that she's not different from other ladies, she's a little difficult though. I just need to keep playing nice and she'll fall for me soon enough, from what I've noticed, she's attracted to me" Ray started clapping at my speech.
"Wow, you're indeed a player. But what if you fall for her or what if she finds out about your true intentions"
"Fall for her? Can you hear yourself? You should know that I'm done with love. It's for suckers who think when they are in love anything is possible."
"Yea... You still haven't changed that mindset of yours. You should know that everybody is not like her" I closed my eyes trying hard not to think about the person he was referring to. That chapter of my life has been closed a long time ago.
"You need to try and open up your heart and free yourself of the burden you've been carrying for years now." Now this is where I hate Ray, he always tries to advise me even when he knows I don't need it.
"Even though this is all a ploy to get back at Miss Morgans, I'm still rooting for you. I hope she changes your mind" He came close and slapped my shoulder, squeezing it lightly.
"Can you drop the topic now? What exactly brought you to my office?"
