Dark Secrets

Chapter 7

        It was mid-morning at work and I was so engrossed in writing a report on my computer that I didn't notice Nikita enter my office.

"Hi Josh," she said in a sultry voice as she sat on the corner of my desk. Again she was wearing a short skirt and showing off her lovely thighs.

"Oh hi, Nikki," I answered, wondering why she was sitting on my desk.

"How are you and Jasmine getting along now that you're living together?"

"Things are going great," I said with a smile, "So how are things with you?"

"No so good. I'm lonely, Josh. Since I broke up with my boyfriend I've only been on a couple of dates and all they were interested in was sex. Where are all the decent guys, Josh? Guys like you."

"Thank you, but I'm not all that decent," I mumbled, knowing how lame that sounded.

"You're being modest, she said with a smile." She reached over and took my right hand, "Jasmine doesn't know how lucky she is. If you ever break up with her...."

What she did next totally caught me by surprise. She moved my hand across and placed it on her right thigh. I should have pulled away instantly, but I lingered for a couple of seconds enjoying the feel of her soft smooth skin.

Then to my horror a movement in the doorway caught my attention. It was Jasmine. She must have come to pay me a surprise visit. Her timing couldn't have been worse. I snatched my hand back from Nikita's leg, but it was too late. Jasmine had seen exactly where my hand had been a second earlier.

The shock on her face was replaced by a look of rage as she screamed, "What the fuck are you doing? Get away from my boyfriend you slut!"

Nikita leapt off the desk and whirled to face Jasmine. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to....." she stammered.

"Get out, you fucking little tramp!" Jasmine shrieked. By now everyone in the building must have heard her.

Nikita hesitantly edged past Jasmine at the door and scuttled off down the passage.

"And if you come near my boyfriend again I'll kill you!" Jasmine yelled after her. Then she turned back to me. "And you, you cheating asshole, what were you doing with your hand up that bitch's skirt?"

I almost said "This isn't how it looked", but I knew she wouldn't accept that, so I just stared back at her. I couldn't think of anything to say apart from, "I'm so sorry, Jasmine. I didn't mean that to happen. You're the one I love."

"Yeah, sure. You love me so much so you feel up another woman! You disgust me." She turned and stormed off towards the exit.

I tried to run after her, but several of my workmates blocked the passage as they came to see what all the noise was about. She roughly pushed her way through them.

"Was that your girlfriend?" one of them asked, "Hell, Josh, if you're going to have a screaming fight with her you need to do it outside or at home, not here in the workplace."

"Yeah I know, I'm sorry about all the noise. It was a misunderstanding."

By the time I got past them all Jasmine had gone. I ran down the stairs and into the accountants office where she worked. The reception desk was vacant. I rang the bell and a man came out of a nearby office. 

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"I'm looking for Jasmine," I said breathlessly, "Is she here?"
