Flirtatious curiosity

"He's handsome and sexy." She thought to herself as she admires him from across the room. It seems as if he had also been admiring her as he stares her down from his table.

Realizing that she was being admired,she licks her lips as she looks away so that it seems innocent.

He uses his index finger to stir his drink as he smiles at his friend even though he hears nothing that is being said. He stares at her then glances at his friend to keep it safe.

She likes his suit, he likes her smile.

He orders a drink, walks up to her and places a paper beneath her glass. Her friends look at him and he continues to smile at her; she looks at her friends as if she doesn't want to see what's on the paper.

He scoffs, having his drink in one hand, he places the other hand in his pocket and walks away.

Her friends got excited, he was like a God walking, honey seemed to pump from his melanin and his whole muscles were all pushing through his tight shirt where a few buttons were left unbuttoned and his chest was exposed.

What they didn't know was that his wife owned the club...

Her friends pressured her to read the paper. She agrees as she stares him down.

She opens the note.

Note: I'm cuffed, but you are pretty. Seems like the girl that should be getting taken care of. If you aren't afraid of being with a cuff man, text me: ***-***-****

She looks up at him in disgust, he smiles then looks down in his drink. From the look on her face, her friends snatched the note.

They thought that his note was an insensitive joke. What they didn't know is she liked his honesty.

His wife walks over and kisses him. Her friends criticized his rude behavior among each other.

After a while they got up, ready to leave, she looked at him one last time and then left.

She got home, one more lonely night and all she had on her mind was the body of a cuffed man.

She slammed her body to her bed, pulled her favorite toy out of her bedside table drawer. She rubs it against her body as she thinks of how great he looked at his table. Fingers sinking in her pillows, eyes close, bottom lip being pierced by her teeth and then the rest was history. She gasped then moaned loudly. This is unlike her, she breathes heavily. Laying and staring at the ceiling, she seems to be lost in how he smiled. She thought it's best to go and have a shower, maybe that will get rid of the thought of him.

She got a good bath, grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled as she remembered how he described her as being pretty. She thought of how she doesn't know his name. She walked towards her purse, took out the note and smiled as she contemplated on messaging.

She has never done this before. She sits on the sofa while she licks her lips, reminiscing on how she was flirting with him before he came over and she found out he was married. She took up her phone and added his number. He had no display pic on WhatsApp.

She started typing…

She erased the message, she started writing again...She deleted it again. She then got the courage to send a message.

Her message: Thanks to think I'm pretty but that note was rude. Just texting to let you know that wasn't cool.

She slams down the phone beside as anxiety eats her up, she wasn't sure she could handle the reply and still she thought on whether he'll answer or not.

The phone vibrates. "Mr Cuffed message" appears on the screen. She takes up the phone and selects 'read'.

His message:

Hi pretty. Sorry if you took offense to it, you just seemed like the type to play with.

Her message:

Okay. Just saying thanks for the compliment.

His message:

Okay, so I should save your number as?

Her message:

You don't need to save it, this is our first and last convo.

His message:

Are you a child or an adult?

Her message:

Excuse me?

Him:

You didn't just text about a compliment that wasn't even valued since I overthrew it with the truth that I'm married.

She leaves him on 'seen'.

She murmurs to herself, she thinks he is rude and absurd.

Her phone started ringing. Mr cuffed was video calling.

She declined the call.

He messages.

His message:

Are you cuffed?

She replies:

That's none of your business.

He replies:

So you're not cuffed.

She replies:

Cuffed or single, I wouldn't give you the time of the day.

He replies:

Then give me the time of the night.

She replies:

Trying to be funny huh?

He replies

Answer the phone.

He calls. She ignored it. He calls again and she answers.

Her: what is it Mr.Cuffed?

Him: James is the name.

Her: Why did you call me on a video call? I don't know you and...

He interrupts: I'm about to know you soon and I'm driving my wife home as we speak. Just wanted to see your face before I got in.

Her: So your wife is in the vehicle? What the hell is this?

Him: (looking at her then at the road) No she's driving in front of me.

Her: (rolls her eyes) What is this call really about?

Him: I really wanted to see your face again.

Her: Are you forgetting that you're happily married?

Him: Married yes, but who said anything about being happily married.

Her: Oh please. James bye, I am not one of those cheap ass girls that you just tell anything.

Him: I'm not telling you just anything, I think I like you.

Her: Get rid of that like. I don't like married men.

Him: What's your name?

Her: you'll definitely see me as disrespectful if I hang up, so make this easier and let me go.

Him:I will as soon as you tell me your name. Your full name, it isn't like I can steal it.

Her: Sajai Sweden

Him: Nice name for a black girl. And where do you live?

Her: James good night.

Him: Okay Sajai, good night.

She hung up. Whole night she tossed and turned as she thought of him.

The next day she started her day as usual, caught in traffic, calling her boss to tell them she's running late. Nothing new happened, her day was the same boring work day as always. Going through files, entering data and just being her.

A knock interrupted her filing. She invited the person in.

Front desk Clerk: Hi miss Sweden, these were delivered to the front desk for you.

The clerk stood there with a bouquet of lilies. Let's say about two dozen lilies.

Sajai looks at her in shock, the clerk looks back at her hoping she'll just take it. Sajai walks up to her, takes out the card and looks at it.

Card: You should have told me it is a Sajai with an 'I' and not a 'y'.

She knew immediately that it was James. She thanked the clerk and took them. She takes up her phone from the desk as soon as the clerk walks out. She types in his name in the search bar. She was about to call.

(James is a multimillionaire, he keeps everything on the low. He never talks about his wealth unless it is necessary. He works out daily, always by his wife's side and works from his office at home. He only visits the companies for board meetings)

Meanwhile at James' house....

James runs on his treadmill while he looks down on his phone, waiting for Sajai to call and argue about the flowers he sent to her office. Earlier he had been searching through all social media sites for her, after a long search, he tried Sajai instead of Sajay and found her. It seems as if he could hardly get her off his mind. He's aroused by the thought and the gut feeling that she has something different to offer. He has cheated before but it was only for sex; this girl was different.

"The flowers should've been delivered by now" he thought to himself,wondering why he hadn't gotten that call. Sajai knew he would be waiting for the call so she changed her mind about calling him.

She looks at the bouquet and smiles. She then threw them in the garbage and took a picture of it.

The whole day went by, James was curious why she didn't call or message.

James' wife comes home with salads. He had prepared dinner for them and that was surprising for her. They had helpers but his wife always tried to be the one to cook their dinner. Knowing she was running late from the hair salon, she grabbed food on the way but little did she know her king had prepared something.

The table was set, wine glasses, vegetables, steak and her favourite chardonnay. Her heart melts, she kisses him and walks towards the table. He pulls the chair out, she sits down, he then walks to the other side and sits down too.

She was talking and he pretended to hear as he stared her right in the eyes and smiled with her when she smiled, but the truth is, he couldn't help but to think of Sajai's smile.

Sajai sits at home on her sofa, she laughs at a funny movie. Her sister calls and starts fussing about Sajai missing her birthday for the third year in a row. She apologizes but feels bad as her sister has never missed her birthday and has always been doing great things for her on her day. After the phone call, Sajai's whole mood changed so she went to bed. Her sister had all right to be mad but some stuff said was uncalled for. Sajai just wanted to feel better. She reached for her toy and started to satisfy herself.

The next day at work was the same until another bouquet showed up. This time, it showed up with the latest iphone.

Sajai's best friend walks in as the clerk hands over the gift.

Her best friend got excited and curious at the same time.

Best Friend: Girlfriend getting flowers?! (takes out the card) Who is it and why did they send flowers?

Sajai grabs the card from her best friend.

Sajai: Nothing I want to entertain. Anyways let's go for lunch, I need to talk to you.

Her best friend takes up the wrapped box that came with the flowers.

Best Friend: Okay I will but aren't you going to open this?

Sajai takes it from her and walks out of the office. The best friend followed.

Sajai places the box in her bag.

Sajai: Didn't I just tell you that I will not entertain this.

Her best friend insisted that she opened the gift but all she did was place it in her bag. At lunch Sajai explained to her friend that her sister is mad at her. She told her that she had a loan hanging over her head and because of that she cannot spend on any luxurious gift. As both girls talked, the gift in Sajai's bag started to vibrate. Her best friend stares at her, she ignores the stare and carries on.

Best Friend: Aren't you going to to answer your phone?

Sajai pointed to her phone that was right in front of them, the best friend sarcastically questioned her on what was vibrating in the bag. Sajai takes out the gift. The best friend told her to pull it but she ignored the request.

Sajai was now aware that there was a phone inside but she didn't want to know why he sent a phone. She started to elaborate on her sister again. The best friend was now more curious about the gift but didn't say anything more about it. Sajai became annoyed by the vibrating and pulled the gift. Her intention was to power off the phone but it was fully charged and locked.

The Man for you is Calling…

She rolls her eyes, her friend peeks over at the phone screen.

Best Friend: Is this a gift? (Points on the phone)

Sajai: No, I need to return it.

Best Friend: I think you'd have to answer it to return it.

Sajai sighed and swiped the phone screen to answer.

Sajai: Yes?

James: For a second there I was wondering if I had the wrong Sajai.

Sajai: I am not up for this game, what is it?

James: I thought that the reason why you didn't call yesterday is because your phone was acting up, so I got you a good one, that way you'll not miss my calls and will always call.

Sajai: (chuckles) My phone is perfectly fine, you calling it isn't.

James: Playing hard to get doesn't help. I am thinking of you just as much as you're thinking of me.

Sajai: James I am not having this conversation with you, you are married and I don't have the time to waste.

James: Why were you flirting with me at the club then?

Sajai: I'm on the road, good-bye.

James: Tell him it isn't worth it. You are worth more than being with a guy that will stress you, you need a protector and lover.

Sajai: Oh please, I am out on a lunch with a friend and your smooth talking doesn't impress me a bit (gets up from the seat as she becomes uncomfortable due to how her friend was in tune to her conversation).

James: Okay, I was just making sure. So when do I get a lunch date, bring you somewhere you have never been before, nothing sexual, just to get to know Sajai Sweden a little more.

Sajai: (Chuckles) Bring me somewhere i have never been before? That is almost impossible, I have visited almost every restaurant in town on my own with my own money.

James: I wouldn't bring you to any restaurant here, I have brought my wife to all of them already. I was thinking Paris or Jamaica or maybe Dubai.

Sajai: (Roll her eyes and look at her friend) James, can you just tell me the password to the phone so I can turn it off until you come and retrieve it please.

James: Okay, I guess you wouldn't want to visit any country of your choice for lunch. Let me at least pay for your lunch with your friend now.

Sajai: (Sighs) James my friend is getting impatient and I need to go. Tell me the password.

James: I am a man of my word, let me pay for your lunch now and I'll message you the password on your phone. I just need your cashapp. You can also burn the phone when you get home, I won't be retrieving it.

Sajai: So you'd pay so much money for a phone to impress me then destroy it? I'll text my cashapp, the bill is $80.

Sajai hung up and walked over to her friend, she apologized but her friend had so many questions. While her friend seeks answers to her curiosity, Sajai gets a message on her phone. $1000usd was deposited to your bank account.

The look on her face had the friend annoyed at this point.

Best Friend: Sajai?! Are we keeping secrets now? What's up with you all afternoon (Grabs the phone)

Her best friend reads the message, and then asks who is the sender.

Sajai: I think he made a mistake.

Bestfriend: He who?

Sajai: Give me a second.

Best Friend: You're not getting up this time. He who? Who sent that money? Same person who sent the flowers and the phone?

Sajai: (Trying hard to not talk about it, especially since her friends were there when she got the note with the number) Whitney just calm down okay, I am not hiding anything, I am keeping no secrets. I just need to sort out this mishap.

Best friend: Mishap? That's what you're calling it?

Sajai calls.

James: I am walking in a meeting, I'll call you back.

Sajai: James you sent me…

He hung up before she could say another word.

Sajai didn't get a call back, she told her friend parts of the story. Whitney encouraged her to keep the money and use some to pay off her debt but all she wanted was to talk to him about it.

Sajai had him on her mind for the rest of the day. She goes home, she tries to get in contact with him again but no answer. She whatsapp him and he reads it and doesn't reply.

Her Message:

Stop ignoring me. You accidentally sent me $1000usd, seems you were trying to send $100.

She waited for a couple hours after she sent the message and then called again. This time he answers.

Sajai: I messaged you. I think you made a mistake.

James: No mistake miss uhhmm. What is your last name again?

Sajai: Huh? You are around your wife?

James: Sure, Mrs. Britton is right here. But it wasn't a mistake, you were to get more but realized your account isn't verified by the company.

Sajai: (Hisses her teeth) This must be a joke. Bye James and don't you ever do that again!

Meanwhile @ James' house…..

James put down the phone on the desk and went back to his laptop. His wife looked over to the table where he was and asked about the call.

Wife: Babe who was that? They are having problems with payments or something?

James: (Eyes fixed to the laptop) No not really, just someone I'd like to help out.

Wife: Charity work I see, that's good, I like that.

James said nothing but continued what he was doing on the laptop.

His wife paused the television and walked over, she questioned him about what he was doing and while he answered she rubbed her hands on his head. She started feeling on his muscles, he looked up at her with a smirk as if he was indeed reading her mind.

He pulls her from behind him, she stands beside him. He runs his hand under her dress, she had nothing on under the dress. He runs his hand to her ass and squeezed it, she bites her lip and softly moans. He pushes the chair out from under the table, she puts her foot over him and sits on him. He uses his hand to remove the hair from her face, he looks in her eyes and starts kissing her deeply.

He holds her by the waist and eases her off, he lifts her and puts her on the table. He stands up between her legs, ready to unzip his pants when she stops him.

Wife: Let's go to the bedroom please.

James: (Sighs deeply) what's with you and that bedroom Taja? Let's do it right here.

Wife: James, I want to go to the bedroom.

James: Just forget it, I have to finish this report review anyways.

Wife: Okay then. I hate when you are like this.

James: (murmurs to himself) Only if men could be as outspoken as their wife, so much to hate also.

James walks to the room and tells his wife he needs a smoke so he'll be back, he will just go get a box of cigarettes by the supermarket. He asked if she needed anything and reassured her he was okay and didn't hold anything against her. He even convinced her that he understood why she wanted him in the bedroom and not out in the open.

Back @ Sajai's House.

Sajai walks out of the shower and wraps herself in her towel. She takes the shower cap off and catches her hair in a ponytail.

She wasn't feeling the need to put any clothes on so she walked in her living room in the towel only. She put the tv on youtube and started to listen to some slow jam. As usual, she was in a mood that required one of her toys. She went to her room for her bullet and started to play with herself. Her body seems to be getting used to her styles as she wasn't reaching climax. As the feeling got intense a bit, she used one hand to keep the bullet fixed between her legs and the next hand to choke herself. The awkwardness of this is that she was thinking of James choking her, as she pretends to tell him to not stop, her body starts to release. She let go off her neck, lap her foot over each other and moaned loudly.

Her phone started ringing, she wasn't in the mood to move so she allowed it to ring. The phone James got her started to ring, she couldn't help but to run towards it. It was a video call, she tightened the towel around her and answered.

James smiles at her as she answers but she kept a serious face since she saw nothing to smile about.

James: (Driving and smiling, looking back and forth on her and the road) I'm sorry about that call earlier.

Sajai: (looking annoyed) James what is it?

James: Calling to say I'm sorry.

Sajai: You don't need to, not like we are…

James: (Interrupted) But we will be soon and I need you to know that I will always respect my home and at the same time respect you enough to answer all your calls, whether I am around her or not.

Sajai: (Sarcastically laughs) I will never get involved with a married man. You just need to get that in your head.

James: I might change your mind, sooner than later.

Sajai: Go and be with Mrs.Britton sir. I'm going to hang up, I have things to do.

James: Things to do in a towel?

Sajai: (Fixed the phone so he can only see her face) That has nothing to do with you.

James: Skin looks clean, I can just imagine how nice it is to run my tongue all over that body.

Sajai: You're running your tongue over Mrs.Britton's body?

James: (Chuckles as he turns his left indicator on) Okay, I see where you're going.

Sajai: I'm going nowhere, that is where your tongue needs to be and if not there then keep it in your head.

James: (chuckles) I'm going to call you back. About to walk in a store to get a smoke.

Sajai: (Rolls her eyes) One more strike on why I couldn't be with a man like you.

James: Why? Because I smoke?

Sajai: Bravo, you got something right.

James: (Looks her dead in the eyes through the phone) I wonder what were the strikes you were working with when you gave your heart to the type of men that you did in the past.

Sajai: You know nothing about the type of guys I use to date in the past or dating right now. (hisses her teeth)

James: If you're dating now then he is a bastard, half the time you are alone which means he can't be a good man, your facebook posts are looking like those of a desperate single woman who is tired of men and their bullshit. No woman who is getting treated correctly thinks like that, You need to take a check on Taja Britton's page and note the difference.

Sajai: How a woman post on social media says nothing about her.

James: It says a lot, just like you not blocking me speaks volume. A woman removes even her dp on whatsapp when she is broken.

Sajai: I'll not have a debate about women with a man who doesn't even know how to love one correctly and stay cuffed.

James: Just so you know, my wife isn't short of anything. I rather be unhappy and ensure she is happy.

Sajai: I hope you're the only reason for her happiness.

James: (Chuckles) I'm not boasting but I'd pay my wife to cheat on me. I know what I bring to the table and what table to eat from.

Sajai: Strike three, having a good woman and cheating on her, you're a demon.

James: What's worse: Sleeping with a man full of excuses on why he cannot pick up his phone, miss your birthdays, make promises to you that he never fulfills and hides his promiscuous ways or to be with a man who has one wife he adores and respects but gives you everything you need and never have you feeling lonely?

Sajai: I rather wait on the man God has for me. He will do everything I desire with the help of God.

James: (Opens his car door, It slides upward) Listen, I am going in the store and I'll call you back.

Sajai: Your wife is in there?

James: No.

Sajai: So you are running me off the phone, why?

James: (Smiles) Okay.

Sajai glimpsed the car in the background as he walked away from it.

Sajai: What type of car do you drive?

James: It depends on the mood I'm in.

Sajai: What type of car is that? (Points)

James: (Looks back on his car) Oh, this. That is just a toy that I like to take for a spin now and then. It's a lamborghini Reventon roadster.

Sajai: Okay, Never heard of it before but it looks nice.

James: Yeah, I like the Diablo GT 1 more but even though this is a bit more costly.

Sajai: I have no idea what you're talking about, I have only owned two types of cars in my life, a honda civic and a subaru.

James: What year Honda Civic? (Walks up to the automatic supermarket door)

Sajai: 2018. Although I might sell it this year, I need to pay off some loans.

James: You took it out on a loan?

Sajai: Yes, isn't that the thing most of us do?

James: I guess. How old are you?

Sajai: How does it match up with a vehicle?

James: Just answer (Pays for the box of cigarette and walks out)

Sajai: Thirty, thirty-one in a month's time.

James: What would you do if your loans are paid off and you are granted a gift of $500,000.

Sajai: The thought of it alone, I don't even daydream that big but I would maybe move to a better neighbourhood, buy a nicer car, maybe one like yours (chuckles). I mean I'd sort myself out.

James: (By this time he was back in his vehicle) Okay. Well I'd advise you to stay where you are right now and act as if you haven't received that money, invest it and watch the money grow. Live your life as if it isn't there.

Sajai: Easier said than done, it's hard to know I have $500k and act normal, working for a shitty company and driving regular.

James: You'd have no choice if I am in your life. You're a woman, you think like the majority of young women out there, expensive shit that has no long term value.

Sajai: Like your wife?

James: (Driving) What do you mean?

Sajai: While she kissed you at the club that night, I was admiring her. She wears expensive shit and not to mention that hairstyle.

James: She is the owner of that club. You knew that right?

Sajai: (Pauses) Oh I didn't know that. So, it's the club's revenue you're sending me?

James: (Looking more serious) If you want to ask if I work, then just ask that but no I don't live off my wife nor her companies.

Sajai: I'm sorry, didn't mean to offend you. I was….

James: (Interrupted) Enough of that. Let me see the whole towel.

Sajai: Excuse me?

James: You know you want me to see, stop fighting it. I am feeling the same attraction towards you that you're feeling towards me.

Sajai's phone started ringing and the call was interrupted. She answered the call, it was Whitney. She wanted Sajai to pick her up from her boyfriend as they got in a fight earlier.

Sajai got up, put some clothes on and headed out, on her way to the car she messaged James and told him why the call ended.

James was walking towards the door that led to the living room from the car porch when his phone vibrated. He checks the message and smiles. He was now convinced that he is getting her right where he wants her.

He went straight to the room, his wife laid there in bed sleeping, he took his clothes off, his d**k was stiff and standing. It was touching his navel, he used his right hand to massage the top as he used his left hand to pull the cover off his wife.

James: (rubs his left index finger on his wife's lips) Babe, get up.

Taja: (Stretches) Babe (sounds uninterested).

James: Taja, get up.

Taja opens her eyes, looks up at him and his hard stone d**k.

Taja: Babe do we have to?

James: Please.

Taja: Okay, can I give you a blowjob?

James: We can start there and see where it leads.

Taja gets up from the bed and walks over to the couch that's situated at the window. James walks up to her, she sits, pulls him in and starts to lick the tip as she looked in his eyes. He stares at her but in his mind was the image of Sajai on the phone with him earlier.

He closed his eyes as she slides her tongue up and down then places her mouth over the top half of his d**k. He holds her in the hair, curls his toes and moans deeply. He couldn't help but to pull her up, as she gets up from the sofa, she runs her tongue from his d**k straight to his nipples.

Taja: (looks at him while she uses her finger to rub his d**k) Why did you stop…

Before she could finish, he rips off her lace underwear and spins her around. He thrust her towards the couch. She bends over and he slides in.

Taja started moaning. He slaps her so hard that her ass vibrated.

James: (Whispers) Don't play with me, open up.

Taja: (moans while her fingers sink in the cushion on the couch) Oh shit!

The rest was history...…

Meanwhile…..

Sajai and Whitney drive home. Whitney whined all the way to the house, annoyed Sajai asked her to shut the hell up or she wasn't allowed inside.

Whitney: (While she waits on sajai to pull her apartment door) And that's how you deal with a hurting friend?

Sajai: (Takes a deep sigh) Whitney, I am tired of the drama between you and Jerome, it isn't like you're going to leave him anyways.

Whitney: So what did I just do? (Walks pass Sajai into the house)

Sajai: (Walks in and closes the door) Use me as always, by tomorrow morning You'll be telling me to drop you back over there on my way to work.

Whitney: (Walks into her kitchen, pulls the door and looks on all the shelves) I'm just tired of his broke ass. How the hell can you cheat on a girl that is taking care of your ass?

Sajai: Close the refrigerator door and stop wasting my electricity. Whitney you choose to be with him, so don't ask me how.

She checks her phone. It was as if she was anticipating a text back from James even though she was trying to turn him off.

The Next Day….

Sajai, already dressed in her work attire, pulls the window blinds so that the sunlight could reflect on Whitney and she would get up.

Whitney: (Stretches) Sajai!!!! Why are you doing that?

Sajai: Aren't you going home?

Whitney: (pulls the cover over her head) No I am not. I know you don't believe but I am not going there.

Sajai: (Walks over to the side of the bed and stands over the covered body of Whitney) Whitney, I am not playing with you, you brought no clothes so what are you going to wear?

Whitney: (mumbles) Your clothes bitch.

Sajai: Whitney, I swear if you call me today crying or talking about I need to come by your house for you or my keys, I'm going to be mad. Anyways, there's food in the refrigerator and please take clothes out the drawers and not the closet. See you later.

Whitney: Now close back the blinds.

Sajai looks at her laying there and shakes her head in disappointment.

Sajai went to the kitchen and plugged the kettle in to make coffee. Whitney walks into the kitchen and stretches.

Whitney: Can I have a hundred dollar?

Sajai: What? I told you yesterday that I am broke, why would you..

Whitney: (Interupts) Broke because of a loan, not a hundred dollars. Come on Saj, we know you can help a sis out.

Sajai: You need to get a job, and I don't have it.

Whitney: (Gets a coffee cup and pour a sachet of coffee in it) I do have a job.

Sajai: A real job Whitney, being an ambassador for that lingerie company isn't helping and all you do is take the money and give it to that asshole.

Whitney: (pour out the water that was left in the kettle) Sajai let's not go there, because you need a better job and I have never had you feeling as if it is a crappy job.

Sajai: (Phone starts ringing and she walks towards it) You don't have to tell me, I know it is crappy, (Answers the phone). (Starts talking to the person on the phone while Whitney stares her down).

Sajai: Good Morning.

James: Look through your window.

Sajai: (looking surprised) Why should I?

James: Why do you always question my commands? I said look.

Sajai: (Walks over to the window, and there she saw James' car) What are you doing here and how the hell do you know where to find me?

James: You post everything on Facebook, it isn't so hard to find you. Should I come up or you're coming down?

Whitney walks up to the window and peeks through the blinds. Whitney opens up her eyes at Sajai and whispers, "That car is here to you?"

Sajai: (Ignoring Whitney) I'll come down.

James: Okay, I'm waiting.

Sajai hung up, walked to her room, got her hand bag and car key and hurried to the bathroom to rinse her mouth with some mouthwash.

Whitney: Who the hell is that? Is it your boss? Don't tell me you're sleeping with your boss Sajai!

Sajai: (Hurried to the door and handed the hundred to Whitney) have a nice day Whitney.

Whitney: You (Sajai slams the door in her face) too. No manners.

Sajai straightens her skirt as she walks out of the building, James sits in his car admiring her as she walks towards his car that was parked right behind hers. She walks up to the window, he unlocks the car. She knocks on the window and he purposely didn't answer as he waited for her to pull the door. She tried the door and realized it couldn't be pulled as the usual cars would. He smiles at her effort.

He eventually opened the door for her and told her to get in. Not wanting to, she stood there but as soon as she felt Whitney's eyes through her windows on her, she got in.

James: I have breakfast for you.

Sajai: That's nice but no, thanks.

James: Already paid for it so you'll have to have it, whether you like it or not.

Sajai: What if it isn't something that I like and what if I had eaten already?

James: (puts on his right indicator to pull out) Then you'll take it for lunch.

Sajai: What are you doing? I am late for work, I can't even go down the road with you.

James: (He calls a number and the phone starts ringing through the car speakers) Tell them you'll be late or better yet take the day.

Sajai: What the hell…(Secretary answers: Thanks for calling The Dental Gods, how may I help?) Hey sweetie, it's Sajai.

Secretary: Hey what's up girl, on your way?

Sajai: No, I have a little emergency, I'll be a little late.

Secretary: That's a first. Okay I will let Doc know.

Sajai: Thanks hon.

Sajai: (turns to James as soon as the phone hung up) What the hell was that?

James: Nothing, we are going to have breakfast.

Sajai: Where? Because the last time I checked, you said you have brought your wife to almost everywhere in town and you cannot bring me there since everyone knows your wife.

James: Not my exact words but we are having breakfast at a private cottage with a private paid chef. What I would like you to do is tell me what you feel for so he can start preparing.

Sajai: (chuckles) What? Where are you getting money of this sort? Where do you work?

James: Look at the clothes I am in, regular Nike gym shorts and a white tee, sure I don't look like I am going to any work.

Sajai: And this has nothing to do with your wife's money?

James: I am not careless, I am a man, I will always be the provider.

Sajai: So tell me, where is this money coming from?

James: I am a God of money (says it jokingly)

Sajai: You're still not funny to me.

James: I am but you just don't know yet, anyways, I've already paid my money to get you this breakfast so tell me what you would like.

Sajai: I didn't want to accept this but since you went over and beyond to impress me, I'll relax and enjoy it.

James: (Smiles) Thank you. See, it isn't that hard.

Sajai: Whatever.

The cottage was hidden in a forest which was beautiful. The green scenery was lovely, the quick escape from the city was refreshing. The chef came out to greet them, Sajai's eyes wandered all over.

James walked up to her and whispered in her ear, "He doesn't know my wife so if he calls you Mrs.Britton play along."

Sajai: I swear you're working very hard for a disrespect but let me not spoil the fun of skipping work and driving up here.

James: Good girl (smiles).

They walked in and then the chef walked in behind them.

Chef: So, Mrs. Britton, what would you like to have?

Sajai looks at James as he chuckles.

Sajai: Look at him deviously, we'll let Mr.Britton choose. His life depends on his choice.

James: (Looks at her happily) If you like my choice do I get that date? You'll have to choose the place and time.

Sajai: Okay, deal. Talk to the chef.

James pulls the chef aside, Sajai walks to the back to look at the lake that was behind the cottage. As she took pictures , James admired her through the glass window.

He walks out to join her….

James: (walking towards her) Want me to take the pic for you?

Sajai: (Hands the phone to him) Sure.

James took a couple of pics with her and handed the phone back to her. She strolls through them, then looks up at him.

Sajai: Hey am I allowed to take a pic of you?

James: I don't take pics, not my thing.

Sajai: Only with your wife right?

James: Now and then she annoys me to take a few yes but it is just not my thing overall.

Sajai: Can I annoy you? Or just drop it?

James: A pic with me alone or a selfie with us both?

Sajai: A pic with you alone.

James: Okay, go ahead (pose for the pic by just standing straight with his hands folded)

Sajai: That's the best you can do?

James: Do you want me to change my mind?

Sajai: Okay, okay, it's fine.

James: Good.

Sajai takes the pic and then her phone starts ringing. It was Whitney.

Sajai: (Asked to be excused and walked away from whereJames was) Hello?

Whitney: Bitch where are you? I called your office phone and you weren't there.

Sajai: I'm having breakfast before work. What is it?

Whitney: Oh really? With who?

Sajai: Can we talk about it when I get home please?

Whitney: That is if I am still here. I might go get my shit.

Sajai: (sighs) I told you to leave with me, now I have to drive to you to get my keys.

Whitney: Girl but you know I was going to get bored and go see that asshole.

Sajai: I can't with you, I don't have gas to drive to your man's house Whitney!

Whitney: What did you do with the 1000 dollar that you got cashapped yesterday?

Sajai: I paid it on my loan that we both know is in arrears. Why the hell are you watching my money? What the…

Chef walked out of the cottage and told them breakfast was ready.

She told Whitney she had to go and turned the phone off as she knew she was about to call back. James looked at her as she walked towards him with a frown.

James: Work?

Sajai: No.

James: Care to share?

Sajai: I am okay, let's go inside.

James: Okay.

They walked inside. Seated, the chef started off with pancakes and egg omelet. Sajai looks at James and chuckles.

Sajai: (Whispers in James' ear) Came this far for a $20 breakfast?

James: (chuckles) Chef, she is asking if you flew in from Germany just to make us a $20 dollar breakfast.

Sajai: (sticks him in his side with her index finger) I didn't mean it like that chef. And what do you mean flew in?

Chef: (Smiles) You need to taste it. To get this particular pancake in a restaurant would cost you about $3000. And yes, your husband asked me to fly in two days ago to make this morning special.

Sajai was in awe. Breakfast was terrific. On her way to work she asked James how will she be getting home, he reassured her that he'll come get her.

She got to work at 12noon, which means she would only work for half a day. While she tried to concentrate on work, James was all over her thoughts.

She couldn't wait to see him again as much as she's playing hard. She was disappointed when he sent an uber for her. He sent a bouquet with a card to apologise but she wasn't having it. She messaged him.

He was on his way to the airport, being the owner of three major oil companies in Germany means sometime he'll have to fly out without any early notice.

His phone vibrated. He pulls it and checks his messages.

Wife's message: (Reply to him telling her he has to fly to Germany) Okay baby, be safe. Love you.

His Reply: Love you too. Ask Jason to drive you home if you're staying late at the club tonight okay.

He then checked Sajai's message.

Sajai: I know this was too good to be true. Thanks for reassuring me that a married man doesn't deserve my time.

He leaves her on 'seen'.

This made her very mad as she sat in the back of the car staring at his chat yet it turns blue over ten minutes now and no response. The car left her at her house, she remembered that Whitney had told her to come by her boyfriend's house to get the keys. She tilted her head to the sky and groaned.

Sajai: (Searching for the car key in her bag) I don't even have gas for this. God help me please. I am just hoping this gas doesn't run out on me.

She pulled the car and threw the things in her hand on the backseat and drove off. The gas didn't fail her, she got to Whitney's boyfriend. She could see that something was wrong from Whitney's body language standing at the door of the house. Sajai sighed as she wished she wasn't there, she hated drama, but Whitney, it was Whitney's life to be dramatic.

She pulls up to the house, you could hear Whitney from inside the car. Sajai got out.

Sajai: Whitney?! (Whitney continued beating the door and shouting)

Sajai: (Looks around as she realised the neighbours were coming out and listening) Whitney stop!

Whitney: (Turns to Sajai) Can you believe this bullshit?! This fucker is in here locked up with a frigging bitch!

Sajai: (Hurried towards her)Whitney stop, let's go.

Whitney: (Starts to beat the door again) I am going no fucking where, my clothes are inside and I need them!

Sajai: Whitney I have clothes, just come please! You can't continue to live like this! I am tired of this and you!

Whitney: Come the Fuck out! Open up this door right now let me beat this bitch!

Sajai: Okay, continue, give me my keys.

Whitney: (Hugs up her bag as Sajai tries to take it off her hand to retrieve the key) Bitch wait! I just need my clothes.

Sajai: (Grabs Whitney by the hair and starts dragging her to the car) I said stop! And since you won't give me the keys, I'm taking you. You can't even fight and talk about confronting women. Get you ass in the car!

Sajai opened the passenger's door and shoved her in then walked to her door, got in and drove off.

Sajai: Why do you damage your reputation every single day for this bastard?!

Whitney: You don't understand! I have to talk to the other girls about this. You'll never understand. I love him!

Sajai: Clearly you love him more than you love yourself (pulling up to the gas station) I need fifty dollars back, and I know you didn't spend off the hundred so don't play with me.

Whitney: (murmuring) Have it (Slaps money in Sajai's hand middle).

Sajai gets out and gets the gas.

They argued straight to the house. Sajai opens the door and Whitney walks in while she dials up another friend. Sajai had enough of the drama and went straight to the bathroom to have a shower. She showered and reminisced on the breakfast she had this morning, she started to wonder where his money was coming from. After bathing she went back out to Whitney who was still on the phone telling the other friends that Sajai couldn't relate since she has not been in a relationship for the last couple years. She sits and waits for Whitney to come off the phone, she checks her messages but still nothing from James.

Whitney finally hung up and Sajai explained to her why the other friends would've encouraged her to do whatever.

Sajai: Listen, I am not choosing for you. It's more out of love. That was distasteful, I could care less if he loves you and you love him. How can He respect you if you behave like an animal? He cannot.

Whitney: Sajai listen, not every man likes the whole prideful type okay. He understands me and I understand him, so thanks for your concern but no thanks.

Sajai: Okay Whitney, do what you want to.

Sajai had her own issues with James and had no time for the drama so she spent the rest of the evening locked away in her room as she left the living room all to Whitney and her dramatic conversations with others.

Sajai was taunted by the lovely breakfast, she even remembered how he wiped the side of her mouth as they ate and talked. She tossed and turned, and could hardly focus on the movie that she was watching. She decided to message him again but then changed her mind.

The night went by slowly, Whitney was watching television in the living room while Sajai laid in bed thinking about the best way to never talk to James again. After a while everyone fell asleep in the house. Sajai's phone started to ring, it was after 2 am in the morning and she was curious about who could be calling so early.

Sajai reaches for the phone that was on the bedside table, eases it up a bit and looks at the screen. It was James. She watched it ring then placed it on silent and turned it flat on the face. She went back to sleep. The next morning, she went to work without saying a word to Whitney.

She walks into the office with a gloomy face and to make it worse the boss wanted to see her. They got in a confrontation over a couple purchase orders for a couple office appliances that he swore he had no idea about while Sajai was sure he told her to sign off on them. He threatens her to have her terminated if it ever happens again.

Sajai went through the day being miserable. James had been calling but she kept declining the calls.

Being tired of hearing her phone ringing, Sajai answers James.

Sajai answers the line and leaves it open without saying a word. James broke the silence.

James: Hi Mrs. Britton. (Chuckles).

Sajai: Today isn't the day to call with jokes James. I'm not in the best of mood.

James: Okay, what happened?

Sajai: Work and my friend is at my house the one night I'd rather be alone. (Takes a deep breath) James What is it?

James: I guess that's even worse since I left you on 'read' yesterday?

Sajai: You;re not that important right now James. I barely recognized that you didn't answer that message.

James: Oh, okay. Well you're always stern with me but today is worse. I think a spa would do you well.

Sajai: Well I can't afford that right now so..

James: (Interrupts) I'll pay for it for you, just accept the offer.

Sajai: James I am okay and I'll be even better on my own without your help.

James: I know you are mad at me, I purposely ignored your message to get you to miss me because I know there was some chemistry between us at breakfast yesterday. Got home and found out one of my trucks turned over and I lost one of my best drivers in the explosion. (Sighs) I haven't even told my wife this as yet, she is just thinking it is a normal business trip but I lost someone I had for years. I am sorry that I didn't come and pick you up, I had to catch a flight to Germany, it's almost 9 hours of flying. Then I called when I got to the hotel and you ignored me. I am at fault so I am sorry.

Sajai: Sorry to hear that.

James: That's okay, I just want to know that you are okay. Take the offer and get the getaway.

Sajai: Getaway?

James: Yes, One night at the Marriotts. Spa at 6, dinner at 8 and a room with rose petals and wine just in case you want to relax.

Sajai: I don't know. I have work early tomorrow and I can't keep taking things from you knowing I will never be with a married man.

James: Shh. Listen, don't end our chapter in your book too early. I am not going to be there, the hotel room is all yours. I will be your friend.

Sajai: What is the catch?

James: You becoming a better woman.

Sajai: Am I a project? You are throwing a pity party for me?

James: I am the project, not you, I am the one liking you here and might get used but you are worth the risk.

Sajai: I'll never use you, I am not like that.

James: Even better. Sajai Sweden, Room 303. Booked and ready.

Sajai: What?

James: What do you mean by what?

Sajai: You booked the room? I don't have anything to go to a hotel, I'll have to go home and that will be hectic. I can't just get up and do something like this.

James: Yes you can. I sent you $1000. Go and buy whatever you need but please show up to the hotel.

Sajai: I can't, I mean….

James: My wife is calling, talk to you later (Hang up).

Sajai: James…

She looks at the phone screen, only to realise he hung up. She called him back and he declined. She saw the message that she received money in her account. She knew she couldn't let him down, so after work she went shopping. She even bought a suit to wear to work the next morning.

She had no idea on why she was buying lingerie as she explored the mall but she did. The hotel was lovely. The room was booked for three days and a layout of her activities were listed on a note that was placed on the bed. The room was full of roses and it had her to wonder if he was really in Germany or hiding somewhere in the building just to watch her reaction.

Note on Bed:

I'm truly sorry about yesterday but I hope to make it up to you. This is just the start.

I hope you got here before 8 because below are the things I want you to do.

You have Dinner at 8:30

Spa appointment at 9:30

I'll call at 11.

She read it and smiled, she walked over to the balcony door and took a picture with the bouquet of roses and sent it to Whitney with an attached message stating that she will not be home tonight. Whitney couldn't help but to call but she ignored the calls. Her night went as James planned it. After the spa appointment, she returned to her room feeling amazing. A Chardonnay was on ice waiting for her return. She took up the container and a wine glass and walked towards the jacuzzi. She dropped the robe that she was wrapped in, sat on the edge of the jacuzzi and poured herself a glass of champagne.she started playing music on her phone and then slowly slid down in the jacuzzi. The music stopped and she could tell it must be James calling. She stretched for the phone and yes, it was him.

Sajai: (Answers the video call) Hi.

James: (smiles and licks his lips) Your teeth are so white and pretty. How is your evening?

Sajai: (Smiles) Trying to have me blushing right? Well, my evening is lovely. If I had this every evening then the stress of work can never hurt me.

James: I like that. I miss you, been thinking of you all day.

Sajai: Trying to spoil the good mood?

James: How is that?

Sajai: You can't miss someone you have never had. That's just words.

James: I have had you so many times in my mind that having you in real life is like the dream.

Sajai: (Takes up the wine glass and takes a sip) Oh please, so when are you flying back?

James: (Smiles) Don't worry about that, I'll be back the right time.

Sajai: So how is the trip?

James: Well it's a rough one since my friend passed but…

Sajai: (Interrupts) I'm really sorry and I know I can't help to ease the pain but…

James: Don't interrupt me like that again.

Sajai: I'm sorry but I don't think I need the details of a dead man while I am here naked and…

James: (Interrupts sarcastically) Oh wow, you're naked?

Sajai: (Roll her eyes) I am in a Jacuzzi James. I couldn't be here in clothes.

James: I see that but I only see what you want me to see.

Sajai: Whatever, well keep it that way.

James: Get out.

Sajai: (Looking him dead in the eyes through the phone) What?

James: Get out the jacuzzi.

Sajai: While you watch?

James: I am waiting.

Sajai: You must be kidding.

James stayed silent after that and Sajai did the same. They were both on the phone without talking to each other for a longtime. James got tired of it and hung up. Sajai was pissed at how demanding he was trying to be. She couldn't help but to call Whitney.

She calls…..Whitney answers.

Whitney: Bitch where the hell are you and with who?

Sajai: I'm alone Whitney.

Whitney: Okay but where, from the look of the pics you sent you're at a fancy hotel and roses! Did you buy yourself roses?! Come on girl, spill right now.

Sajai: (Sighed) Whitney I sent you only one image and no I didn't buy myself roses. A friend bought them.

Whitney: Friend's name?

Sajai: You want that too?

Whitney: Of course. What if something goes wrong? I will need a name to give the cops and such.

Sajai: His name is James, James Britton or something of that sort but he is only a friend.

Whitney goes silent.

Sajai: (Gets up out the jacuzzi and reaches for a towel) Whitney?

Whitney: Hold up girl, I need to google him.

Sajai: Really girl? I didn't even do that.

Whitney: That's your problem, not mine. Oh shit! James Britton? Isn't this the guy we saw at the club a couple nights ago?

Sajai: (Trying to lie) No.

Whitney: Don't play with me, I don't forget faces, it is him.

Sajai: Okay, okay, yes but don't tell the other girls.

Whitney: Just a friend, holy shit this dude net worth is 500 million dollars!

Sajai: Huh? What? I'm not sure we're talking about the same guy.

Whitney: Taja Britton is his wife, no kids, he owns two of the biggest oil companies in the world. His father died leaving the legacy to him and his brother. His brother is a drug addict and is in Rehab. Bitch you hit the jackpot, I could care less if he's married or not. Don't let this one slip. Bitch you're hearing me right?!

Sajai: (Takes the phone from her ears, puts it on speaker and googles James Britton) How could I not see this. This is why he can do all this that he is doing? Shit, I need to leave, I don't want to be…

Whitney: (Interrupts) Bitch leave where and you don't want to be a part of what?! You better prepare yourself to be a part of all of this. Your loans are in arrears and you don't own a thing to your name so just relax and let's talk about this.

Sajai: Whitney you know I am not going to do this, not only is he married but he's loaded and men like those always demands too much and becomes controlling. I am not up for it.

Whitney: Does this man look like that type to you? Bitch he is sexy as hell, can get any girl he wants so if you leave he'll not even miss you. Girl, just relax and get some of the dough first.

Sajai: I think that is too late now. He asked me to get out the jacuzzi naked and I declined so he hung up.

Whitney: That's okay, that was before you knew he was a millionaire. Now you'll call back naked and make him drool for you. Sajai you have been financially struggling all your life, don't mess this up.

Sajai: Why are you so interested?

Whitney: Because I am a good friend and whatever you get you'll share with me. How comes you just get the opportunity to cuff a good one and all I get is the broke ass ones.

Sajai: Whatever.

Whitney tried to convince Sajai until she hung up.

Sajai couldn't help but to keep reading everything that she could on James. Whitney's voice haunted her and she couldn't help but to try and make up with James. She pulls out the lingerie she bought and puts it on. She took some pictures. James was online, she sent the images. They didn't blue ticked.

Little did she know James was deleting her chat without opening her messages. This made her furious but James was about to teach her a lesson on never disobeying his orders.

Sajai tossed and turned all night as she wondered what to do or not do. The next morning she checked her phone constantly just hoping James would have messages but nothing.

She went to work uneasy but managed to make it through the day. She murmurs to herself and tries to convince herself that she will just forget about him. Whitney called and questioned her about James. She told her she is sure it will not work.

Work was finally over, she walked outside and there James stood beside his car.

She looks at him while she searches for her car key in her handbag. He opened the door and waited for her to walk over but she hissed her teeth and walked off to her car.

A young man walked up to her as she approached her car.

Young Man: Hello, can I have your keys? I'll be driving your car, Mr.Britton awaits your company.

Sajai: (looks at him) Want my company?

Young Man: He doesn't like to wait, it's best to just do what he has requested.

Sajai: And if I don't?

Young Man: Well let's not find out today. (Stretches his hand out for the key).

Sajai hands him the key and walks towards James who was on the opposite side of the street.

James closes her door as she gets in and then goes in. Sajai couldn't wait to lash out on him about his behaviour last night.

Sajai: You don't get things by commanding people around and acting as if we have to do exactly what you've asked.

James remains silent.

Sajai: And it is an insult to be talking to you and you're ignoring me. I hate it.

James: You know why my wife is my wife?

Sajai: What?

James: You're asking what, why? Didn't hear what I asked or you're just being hard headed?

Sajai: Are you serious right now?

James:Keep answering questions with a question, it will help you.

Sajai: Just bring me home because…

James: (Butts in) I am with my wife because she isn't nagging and she understands the importance of communicating properly. If you're thinking of competing with that, this attitude will have to go.

Sajai: Excuse you? I don't want to take your wife's position.

James remained silent.

Sajai: Where are we going?

James turned his right indicator on and said nothing.

Sajai: This is the exact thing I hate but keep it up. It gets you what you want.

James: What is the issue Sajai?

Sajai remains silent.

James smiled and started driving fast. Sajai holds her breath as she acts as if she isn't afraid. He was definitely doing 110km in a 60km lane.

He pulls off the main road and unto a dirt track. Sajai looked behind her to see if her car was still following but it was as if the guy had stopped following since James sped off. They came to a house a few miles down the dirt track. He pulled up, came out and waited for her to get out. She got out and walked slowly behind him to the house. It was as if she didn't want to go. As they walked up the steps Sajai broke the silence.

Sajai: Is he coming with my car?

James: No he isn't he brought it to your house, I will bring you home.

Sajai: You are really asking for…

Before she could have finished the sentence, James started kissing her. She shoved him off.

Sajai: You are married and I told you that I can't do this.

James: You can't or are you afraid?

Sajai: I can't and will not.

James: What is there to lose?

Sajai walks away from him over to a sofa and rubs her hand on the top. She then replied, "Well my dignity and self-worth."

James said nothing, he opened the door and left it open.

Sajai looked at him curiously and asked, "Why is the door open?"

James replied quickly, "I didn't bring you here for you to question your self-worth, I know that you are worth so much and that's why I am doing this. The fact that you can even see me as someone who wants to devalue you is enough to bring you back home."
