Two days later
Saffire Pov
I'm searching for the file Jasper requested over twenty minutes ago so I can take it to his office and it's like it disappeared overnight.
Today is my first day back since the accident some days ago and I don't need anyone feeling sorry for me.
I knock on the door and wait to hear Jasper tell me to come in which he does.
"Sorry but I cannot locate the documents you requested. I'll need more time."
"That's okay. I was just informing Zander here that I want him to provide you with his expertise on the new case. He has agreed." Jasper says looking at both of us.
Zander looks up at me and smiles and I can't help but feel butterflies down my body.
All the feelings I try to suppress comes back every time he looks at me or even touch me. He has me weak in the knees and I think he knows this.
I have to avoid this man for the sake of my job.
"That's great." I manage to reply before speed walking away.
The entire fourth floor can hear Zander and Jasper laughing in the office and it's a bit strange.
Since I have been working here I have never heard them laughing with each other or even having a friendly exchange.
This is very much strange and I want to know why.
A girl walks past and I remember Jasper telling me that she has been working here for a long time.
"Hi, excuse me. Your Michelle right?"
She looks at me from head to toe before she nods.
"Great, has Zander always been Jasper's accountant?" I ask holding her arm.
"No Mr Gallo started working for him four months ago. Why do you ask?"
Before I can reply I feel someone arm around my waist and instantly I know it's Zander.
"Hi, I was wondering if we could have that dinner and just talk today." He whispers at my ear.
"Sure." I reply easing out of his embrace.
Everyone in close proximity is silent but I can tell alot of conversation is going on between them just by the looks they give each other.
"Zander what do you want?"
"Dinner with you."
"I mean. Do you want to date me or what?"
He leans in again and this time wrap his hand around my neck.
"For right now I want to fuck you but I'll leave that for dessert, let's have dinner first."
He is looking at me with those sincere eyes and that devilish smile, before my mind can comprehend what's happening I am agreeing.
"Fine, just a dinner between two old friends."
Why the hell did I just agree to dinner after he confessed that he wants to have sex with me?
We almost had sex in his bathroom. That does not count.
1 hour later
We are seated near the seaside at this beautiful restaurant Zander suggested.
It's a mixture of modern and rustic furniture that seems to compliment each other.
Zander ordered a shrimp and lobster platter while I decided to keep it simple and ordered shrimp Alfredo.
I ordered a mojito while Zander took an ice tea. He claims he is driving so no alcohol for him.
With the days that I have had so far I really need two more of this drink to calm my nerves.
"So Saffire what have you been up to since the last time I saw you?" Zander ask sipping his drink.
"Well, I went to America and I returned."
He let out a loud laugh and shake his head.
"I know that part remember. Tell me something else."
"Fine I went back to school and studied law as you can tell and just decided I wanted to return recently."
He nods occasionally and sip his drink and I can tell he is really enjoying himself which lets me relax a bit more.
"What have you been up to?" I ask in return but mainly so I won't be in the hot seat.
"Well I finished school and joined an accounting company and the rest is history." He says just as our food arrives.
"I'm happy for you, you always wanted to make it big."
He looks sad for a split second before looking at me and smile.
"Yeah."
"How did you make your money if you don't mind me asking."
"I saved and made a good investment."
So how did you meet Jasper? Is he a shady man?"
"Fuck you a ask me bout a next man fa? Like a jasper you did want come out wid. Mek we cut now." He says standing abruptly.
We pull up to my house and I look over at him. He is so innocent and pure for this fucked up world.
"I'm sorry for what I asked you at the restaurant and messed up our date."
He leans over my side of the car and run his palm over my cheek. His thumb runs over my bottom lip and I bite it while looking at him.
"I never got over you Saffire." He says before our lips connect for a kiss that ignites a fire within me.
Our mouth move in sync and the passion is surreal I climb over and sit in his lap and he pull my shirt while i fight to pull his zipper.
He takes control of the kiss which sends fire down my spine even more.
I can hear a phone ringing and it snaps me back to reality. I pull away from the kiss while I rest my hand on his chest.
"We should not be doing this. I'll see you tomorrow." I say pulling the car door and exiting the vehicle.
"I want you back Saffire and I don't want you entertaining any other man." He says looking at me and licking his lips.
"Okay."
I turn around to walk away and I feel his hand grope my ass.
"You mine Saffire."
I nod then run to my front door with my shirt over my breast.
As soon as I walk through the door Travis is standing there with a cup in his hand.
"Don't forget why we are here Saffire."
"I won't. I just ran into an old friend and we had dinner and that was that."
"Old friend that dropped you off without your top on"
"I'll be in my room."
