What is love? [PAUSED]

Chapter 5

I sat there for a while thinking about wat to say. Should I give him a chance? Or should I not? This is a very difficult decision. If I say no, my job won't be the same but if I say yes my job still wont be the same. God what do I say?

" You can say no, you that right? I wont fire you, or make your job hard...i promise " he says smiling a bit. I was about to reply when the waiter came back with our food.

" Here you go " he says putting down the plates.

" Thank you " I say.

" No problem" He smiles then walks away. We sat there eating our food in silence. After a few minutes I finally said.

" Look Mr. Simmons, you are a very attractive man and you seem like a really chill guy to be with....but I can't. Your my boss and I can't just have a relationship with you, im really sorry "

" I don't see y not thou. So what if I'm your boss, that doesn't change anything at all " He replies.

" It may not change anything for you, but for me it will. I'm really sorry " I say looking down. He clears his throat then says.

" Its fine " After that we stop talking and focus on our food.

The waiter came by and puts the check on the table. He then slid a paper towards me. I looked at the paper then up at him. He smiled and walked away. I picked up the paper and opened it up. I rolled my eyes when I saw what was written on it.

" Wat does it say?" Mr. Simmons asked.

" Its his number and name " I say folding the paper back up. He scoffs then picks up the check. I pull out my wallet from my purse and search through it.

" How much is it?" I asked.

" Dont worry about, I got it " he says taking out money from his wallet.

" Its fine, I can pay for myself " I protest.

" I got it. I brought you here, so I should pay....its only right " He says putting the money down.

" but-

" Dont " He growls. I sigh and put my wallet back in my purse.

" Give me the paper "

" Wat?" I ask.

" I said give me the paper " He repeats much more demanding. I hand him the paper. He takes it and rips it in shreds then puts it on the check.

" I-I-

" Did you want it?" He asks standing.

" Uh no " I say also standing up.

" okay then, shall we?"He asks.

" mhm " I pick up my purse and follow him out the restaurant.

"Richard will take you back to the office" He says.

" Oh he doesn't have to, I can-

" I insist " He says opening the car door for me.

" but-

He gives me this look and I close my mouth and enter the car.

" See you at the office " he says then shuts the door. Richard starts the car up and drives off to the office. 20 minutes later we are back at Golden Diamond industry. Before I could open the door Richard was out the car and at the door. He opened it up and helped me out.

" Thank you Rich....can I call you that?" I ask.

" No problem and of course " He replies.

" See you around, Rich " I say and start walking to the door. Once I was back in my office, I sat down and closed my eyes. I decided I would take a quick little nap but before I could even relax all the way Twain comes over.

" Toyin, so how was your lunch date?"  He ask.

" Lunch d-date. How did you know?" I ask.

" Oh I have my ways " He says smiling. He sits on the edge of my desk then says. " So how was it?"

" He said he wanted to sleep with me, and then he said not just sleep with me but have a real relationship " I say.

" Really? What did you say?" He asks eager as Hell.

" I told him that I can't be in a relationship with him " I explain.

" Wat?! Why?!" He asks.

" He is my damn boss, I can't be in a relationship with him...that'll make things weird" I say.

" The Hell it won't, so what if he is your boss? He wants you, you want him so just be together " He says.

" You make it sound like it is the easiest thing in the world, but it is not " I say.

" Oh get over yourself T, that man won't wait forever for you. What you won't do, another woman will  " He says. He then stands up and walks away.big thought about what he said for awhile then I decided to go talk to Mr. Simmons. I walk onto the elevator and press the top floor. I fix myself up and wait for the doors to open. Once the doors open I walk out and towards his office. The door was open just a tiny bit, so I opens it all the way.

" Mr. Simmons I-

" Oh my God, I'm sorry " I say quickly backing out the room.

" Toyin-

I shut the door and head towards the elevator.

" Wait Toyin " Mr. Simmons says following me.

" I'm really sorry, I should've knocked " I say.

" Yea you should've....but I'm sorry, you shouldn't have seen that " He says trying to fix his pants.

" I really shouldn't have.... I thought you said no other woman could solve your needs " I say folding my arms.

" Well I mean "

" I can't believe this. I actually came up here to tell you that I wanted to give you a chance, but it seems you've moved on really quickly " I say turning toward the elevator and pressing the button.

" Toyin, I-

" Dont, Twian was right. What you won't do, another woman will " I say getting onto the elevator once the doors open.

" Look Toyin-

I raised up my hand to stop him and pressed the 15th floor. He stood there and starred at me until the doors closed. I sighed and looked up to stop myself from crying. I should've known, he just wanted sex and he would say anything to get it. He didn't want me, he wanted sex and that was it. God men are so unbelievable.

****
I walked into the apartment and saw Rickey and some girl on the couch making out. I scoffed and slammed the door getting there attention.

" Hey your back " Ric says getting up.

" Yea,but don't mind me. I'm going to my room " I say walking towards my room.

" Are you okay?" He asks walking over to me. I nod my head.

" You sure?" He asks lifting my head up.

" I'm fine Rickey, don't worry about me " I say fake smiling. He narrows his eyes and stares at me for a while.

" I'll check in you later " He says kissing my forehead. I nod my head then walk over to my door open it and shut it. I drop my box on the counter then strip out my clothes. I take a nice cool bath then get out and get ready for bed. I flop onto the bed and get comfortable. I close my eyes and fall asleep. Today has been one long ass complicated day.

Short also, sorry. Promise to make the next chapter long.
