Business over pleasure

Chapter 21

Veronica leaned into her couch, she was slightly nervous and continued to bounce her leg up and down.
She had invited everyone over to her house. It's been a week since she was fired and after she left Ahmad's house some days ago that was when it really hit her.

She of course cried by herself and was also angry but not at Ahmad or herself looking back she understood what he was talking about her job was toxic but she was so caught up in the promotion that she blanked everything and everyone else. She didn't know if being with Ahmad was a blessing or curse but she knew she didn't want to let it go.

These were the times that Veronica started questioning how hooked she was on him. She didn't love him yet, at least she didn't think so. She knew she really liked him but was she ready for love? She had to get her bearings first if she was going to do that.

Loud knocks interrupted her thoughts, she got up to check who it was. She smiled seeing who was on the opposite side. She opened the door smiling at the person as they smiled back.

"Good morning baby" Ahmad came in with her flowers. Instead of sending them to the office, he switched to the address to her house every time she was supposed to work she was really grateful for him. She definitely didn't want to let him go.

"Good morning, thank you" She leaned into him for a quick peck which he gladly gave her as she took the flowers from him placing them on her kitchen counter.
Ahmad looked around her house seeing new decorations and also seeing where she was keeping the flowers they all looked healthy and he was happy that she appreciated them.

They both walked towards her couch, Ahmad taking her legs and placing them on his lap removing her socks before giving her a foot massage. She was grateful she had a pedicure done she had gotten them done red. It was a way to distract herself and now it came in handy so he wouldn't see any crusty toes.

"How are you feeling." He looked at her as he continued to rub on her feet.

She shrugged before responding "I'm not sure, I mean I'm ready to tell them just not sure how they will react. Especially my mom since she thinks I didn't see anything. But I always did." She whispered that last sentence.

Ahmad could see her beginning to go into a trance with her thoughts and quickly tickled her feet to distract her. It was a last-minute resort he didn't want her to go into deep thought.

Veronica began kicking her legs trying to get away from him before she let out screams begging him to stop. After a few moments, he finally let her breathe as she was a panting mess and this time not because of his dick.

"Come here" He mumbled while looking into her eyes.

It was always the way he said it. he sounded so seductive without meaning to. What was he doing to her?

She crawled over to him sitting in the gap between his legs as he wrapped his arms around her kissing the side of her head as she leaned into him closing her eyes.

"I'm proud of you for telling me everything, for even opening up to me. You didn't have to but you did, it gives me a different view and understanding and I'm su-" He was cut off by the sounds of more knocking on the door.

Veronica got up off of him and made her way to the door. Opening it, the door revealed an Imani and her mother.

"We practically got here at the same time and we laughed about it, hey baby," Veronica's mother said laughing slightly before giving her daughter a hug.

"Hello Ahmad, how are you doing." Veronica shook her head at her mother. Ahmad was clearly now her favourite as she watched her mother walk up to him and start a conversation.
