April
It was a chop chop fold fold day at work.
Well, I made it that way. I had to do something to get my mind off the overthinking my brain was doing.
Finding a new apartment, The divorce, custody of the children, sleeping with Jacskon...
Oh my, how the memories of sex had dominated my mind.
"Miss Jennings?" I look up to see Mattie standing at the door of my cabin. There's a mischievous look on his face.
"There's someone here to see you."
"Really?" I frown. "But I don't have any more meetings for the day."
He clears his throat in an insinuating manner.
"I believe he should be on the 12 a.m. schedule."
What...?
Before I can understand what he said he walks out and a 6'3 wall if all muscles clad in a blue dress pants and light blue shirt walks in.
"Oh." Understanding finally dawns on me. Mattie, that cheeky bastard.
"Well, I was hoping for more than an oh." Jackson smiles wide at me.
I pause and take him in. His smile has such a boyish charm that I can't stop staring at it.
"Hi." I whisper finally.
The air in my office changes instantly from cheery to a different type of tension.
We both stare at each other.
Something hits my office window, a bird maybe? But that's enough to break our trance.
I get up from my chair and walk around the desk.
"How bad of me, you are in my office and I haven't even asked you to sit."
"No, no, that's fine. I just..." He waits until I look at him to continue.
"I closes down on the house and finally got the keys. I wanted to come thank you in person."
I smile, happy for him.
"I am glad, it's such a beautiful home."
"Not a home yet, just a house." He looks into my eyes meaningfully.
(JSDKHAIJSKAJ when I tell you I fangirled so hard for my man right here, even though I am the writer. Like he's a living creature to me who would actually say that to her. Ok, sorry for interrupting, continue....)
I look away.
"I am going to renovate a bit. So I was wondering," he raises his hand to scratch the back of his head.
A nervous tick.
"Hey, that's my bracelet!" I say pointing to the one he's wearing on his hand.
"Oh, yeah. I was totally going to give it back to you." He laughs nervously but doesn't make a move to return it.
"Well?" I extend my palm.
He removes it reluctantly and starts to give it to me before something flashes in his eyes.
"Remember what I was asking?"
"What?"
"I was wondering if you would like to come down there with me and give me a few ideas of how I can brighten up the place." He says determined.
"I am no architect or designer." I say playfully.
"You see I forgot your bracelet there, so you'll have to come with me and look for it." He says that as the said bracelet dangles between us.
