"Why can't you just come home for a little bit?" Jade nearly screamed into the phone.
"Baby, I have a lot of work to do up here and my family needs me."
"And they just decided now that they needed you? Dante, I'm just feeling that I'm beating my head against a brick wall and I want to see you."
"I will be back soon and then we can talk about the engagement."
She became enraged, how dare he bring that up in her condition, "You want to talk about marriage when you can't even come home to spend some time with me?! You know what Dante, just forget it, go back to work!" she slammed her phone shut and nearly threw her phone across the room.
When did she come to a point where she basically had to beg someone to fuck her? Especially when it came from someone who was suppose to be her boyfriend and wanted to be her future husband. Last night had been so rough for her. After she left the shop, she listened to Dominique mock/lecture for the entire ride to her house. Not only that, she brought herself to an orgasm in the shower. She still had everything fresh in her mind from last night, from James muscled arms gripping her, to his lips pressing firmly against hers. This was so ridiculous. She was about to get some work done when she saw Katrina walk in. Oh great, someone who is happy with their relationship, she thought to herself.
"Hey, what's going on?" Katrina said sitting in front of her.
"Just the usual stuff. I am horny and my boyfriend is not delivering."
"I thought you were going to do the whole cheating thing."
"I was, but" she sighed, "I don't know if I can handle that."
"You seemed all down for it yesterday, what happened?"
She didn't tell them yet what happened yesterday, actually she was a little shocked that Dominique hadn't told her. It made her a little nervous to think about what had happened and how she felt. She might as well get it over with.
"Last night when I went to check on my car, I almost had sex," she paused, " with James." she waited for a reaction.
She looked up when she didn't hear anything and Katrina sat there with her same understanding look, "I actually knew, I was just waiting on you to tell me."
"I should have known. Anyway, it was going real far when I just happen to see Dominique."
"How far did it go?"
"Kissing was just enough for me. I was almost on the desk and he was kissing and pulling. It was just so erotic."
"I thought you hated James."
"I don't hate him, just his smart ass mouth."
"Now you see what that smart ass mouth can do and you are hooked." Katrina smiled.
"I'm going to let that slide because it is so true. It wasn't just the kiss though, something happened when he kissed me. I felt like I was spinning out of control and felt like..."
"Sparks went off?"
"Yea and..."
"That you couldn't get enough of it, but he made you feel like a woman."
"Exactly."
Katrina nodded, "That's how I felt when Scott first kissed me."
"Which one; when you were younger or when you two met up again? You know it doesn't matter, you and Scott belonged together, it's different."
"It maybe a different situation, but the outcome remains the same. You felt that click when he kissed you."
"Is that what it's called, I thought it was extreme lack of sex." Katrina laughed as Jade ran her fingers through her hair.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Go back to being angry and frustrated till Dante comes home."
"Okay Jade, I'm going to be honest with you. You're horny and you aren't getting any, but Dante makes sure he gets his. When is this going to register to you?"
"Now you are condoning me to cheat?"
"I'm not saying that. I'm just saying for you to put everything together. I think part of your attraction to James is the fact that he doesn't kiss your butt and gives just as much as you do. I'm just wanting you to think about it for a little bit. Now come into the kitchen and let's start cooking." Jade couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright then."
Later that day, Jade had just came back from picking up some extra stuff for the restaurant. She pretty much threw herself into her work and tried not to think about that kiss. Her arms were so full that she didn't think she would be able to make it to the back. She felt her load lighten as soon as she walked in. Katrina must have been waiting on her she thought, but looked up to see James. Damn, she really didn't want to deal with this now.
"Thank you." she said and walked past him.
"You're welcome. I thought I come by and give you an update on the car."
"And the phone didn't work for you because?" she said heading to the back.
"Well, it's lunch and a man does need to eat." well nice to see last night didn't knock the bitchiness out of her, he thought.
"Well, I didn't need you to help me with the bags." she said handing everything to one of her cooks.
Okay he was now fed up. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the back where no one could see them. He felt like he was doing a lot for this girl and here she was still treating him like he was something on the bottom of her shoe. He put up with it for as long as he could especially since that kiss they shared last night.
He pulled her into her office and slammed the door. Jade was ready to unleash on him for embarrassing her at work. Who did he think he was?
"Now you listen..." she started.
"No you listen." he interrupted, "I don't know what you have against me, but I suggest you let it go. I don't play those roller coaster games nor have time for them. I don't care whatever your boyfriend has you going through but I'm not him so treat me with some fucking respect. Got that princess?" he ended glaring down at her.
Jade's mouth dropped at his words. Did he really just talk to her like that? She couldn't believe her ears or how her body suddenly reacted to the way he talked to her and how he stared. He didn't break his gaze so she figured she better respond.
"Got it." she simple stated with her mouth tensed up.
