Story about two people who are stubborn as hell, the whole world can see their chemistry but they can't.
She is sweet, charismatic, turns head when she walks in but has no clue about it. She is a single mom of a lovely boy. And because of one extrem...
This meeting was being dragged way too long. I don't even know what they are talking about. My thoughts at the moment are being held captive by Anzee.
Anzee that woman is something, the way those blue eyes were staring at me, I could not take my eyes off of her. It was as if she had bewitched me. I wanted to hold her in my arms, comfort her, sing sweet nothing in her ears, run my hand through her brown traces. I felt so at ease with her next to me, as if every cell of my body was waiting for her that everything else is an illusion and she is gospel truth.
What is happening to me, when she is next to me, I lose all my sense of time, reason, and life. I just want to be there next to her at that moment, soaking in all the warmth and the sweet scent of her body. What are you doing to me, Miss Elizabeth?
Finally, the meeting had ended. These fuckers were talking for eons.
As I left the conference room, my cellphone buzzed. It was James, asking me to meet him at the soccer academy. I needed to blow some steam off. Lately, Camila is not being helpful or put it correctly. My body just does not react to her as it used to. Courtesy of someone with those come fuck me eyes, damn again her. I need to go collect some rent from her for living in my head.
I met James in the front lobby of the academy. We both got changed in the locker room and headed to the arena for the match.
"Someone is in the mood to get their ass handed to them in a game of soccer," I say.
"We shall see about it, Smith," says James.
We started the game and continued our playful banter with it.
"So, how is life? Most importantly, how is affianced life treating you?"
"I love every part of it. I did not realize what I was missing until she came in., one look at her was enough, at that point, I was just thinking of having a fling or something, but man she.......... I know it's cliche, but she completes me."
Good, relationship suits you. I can feel the overwhelming sense of happiness from here. I told him with sarcastic humor in my voice.
"Shut up and play, I need to burn a lot of calories. I love her to death, but right now there is an excessive amount of female energy around me and a lot of baking."
I laughed at him and went along with the match and got lost in it. After beating him with god knows how many goals and leaving him breathless, we stopped. You are just so out of practice and do not even get me started on your skills, I said.
We are now sitting with beers in our hands, in a sports bar near the academy. We got here after we showered and changed.
So, how did today's meeting with the opposition's lawyer go he asked.
"By the look of it, I think we'll win, pretty pumped about it."
"OK, listen before you hear it from hearsay, Lucas Giovanni, the lawyer that is handling your opposition's case."
"Yeah, what about him?"
"Lucas is UMM..... Anzee's stepbrother."
I was surprised to hear that piece of information. But doesn't that make it a conflict of interest in my case, I asked.
"Not necessarily, but if anything happens, we'll take care of it."
Are you sure she is the right person for the case, and what's her story? She looked like she was about to have a panic attack right before the meeting. I asked him in an insouciant way, but inside I was dying to know.
Look, bro, I do not know what you saw and I also do not think it is my story or my place to tell you anything personal about a person who's my employee and at this moment a lawyer in your case, but what I can assure you is that if anyone who can thwart Giovanni, it's her. She will put her heart and soul to win this case for you, but just in case things start to go south, you have me as a backup, he said with vehemence in his voice.
I still did not get the answer to my questions and I did not push him for it. Why did she seem so on edge? Is it because of this case or the person she was against? I guess I'll just have to wait for it, but patience is not my best aspect.
We both went back to having a normal conversation and after a while, we slid into a comfortable silence. My mind was still on a certain someone. Her eyes held so much emotion, even her tears were so faithful that without her permission they did not even fall. Why are you so enthralling Miss Elizabeth?
James was busy with his cellphone, so I started running my eyes around the bar when a loud ringtone brought my attention back to Davis.
"Gotta go, The Commander-in-chief wants to talk and does not sound happy. Is it ok if I take a rain check for tonight's dinner?" James.
Pussy whipped I uttered jovially. He just chuckled and flipped the bird to me. Real mature Davis I said, dropped a few bucks for the bartender as a tip, and made our way back to our ride.
********************************************** So, what do you guys think? Will Matt ever find out about Anzee's past? And if he did what will he do?
