My Posh idiot (BOOK 2)

Present Day ~

Iman Harriott ~

That flashback will always be weird to me. That memory endured in my mind, as I was getting ready to leave the studio.

Thanks a lot, Ryle!

It will always remain weird to me because those feelings I had before Dimitri and I kissed, were the same feelings I had with Alistair and Cole. Never have I ever felt extreme butterflies and attachments to a man, and then the minute I kiss him, I feel absolutely nothing.

I remember wondering about that for days. I was too scared to tell Dimitri I felt nothing, so I made up a lie and said the kiss felt like incest. which in my mind felt a lot better than saying 'The kiss felt like I just kissed a random boy at a club and I didn't remember what he looked like'. Now that's a kiss that felt like nothing. Now that's rude and he doesn't deserve to hear that.

Overall I can never fall in love with Dimitri. I should've known that the minute he lost all that sexual appeal to me back in the first year. what was I thinking- thinking there was a second chance for those feelings to come back again?

Probably the reason why we can still uphold this friendship to this day.

However, I do think about the what-ifs. Like, suppose I never fucked him over for Alistair?

"OMG, Dimitri this is so beautiful!" I stared at the engagement ring for Jasmine, as we sat in his car

The ring was so perfect for Jasmine. It was simple, but yet a lot. The diamond was clear and big, as it was shaped in a rectangular form. There were some small crystals covered in gold, not completely covering the whole band, as it decorated around the diamond. It was honestly gorgeous and I can't wait for Jasmine to see the ring shining on her engagement finger soon.

I really am happy for them!

"I had the ring custom-made just for her"

"Rah I know it cost a lot- that's a big ass diamond in there" I was still examining the ring

"It did, but it's nothing I can't afford..." Dimitri reminded

"So when are you going to propose to her?" I asked

"I'm going to do it this weekend-" Dimitri started as he put the ring away safely in the compartment of his car "- Jas is a very private person, so I'm taking her out of the country for a week, so we can have some time together out of England"

"Ohh where are you taking her?" I asked

"As cliche as it might sound, I'm taking her to France"

"I mean who doesn't get proposed to in the country of Love" I stated

"That is very true-" Dimitri agreed "- we've never gone skiing before together, so I booked a getaway in La Rosiere"

"Cold but cute" I snuck in

"Jas won't be cold when I-"

"Ew no Dimitri I don't want to hear about your rendevous thank you" I stopped him right there as he just laughed "When you and Jas get married, I better be the best woman"

"Hmm really, I was thinking of Hugo-"

"Hugo?" I asked, "What happened to breaking traditions?" I pulled my puppy dog eye lookout

"That doesn't work on me anymore Iman" Dimitri simply said as I kissed my teeth

I'm only playing about, I'm not being serious. It makes sense as to why Hugo would be his best man. They've known each other longer than I have known Dimitri. But damn it does hurt me a little bit though.

"How was work?" Dimitri snapped me out of my thoughts "You and Alistair...never thought I'd see the pair of you work together again" Dimitri was humoured

"It's not funny Dimitri, the tramua has returned and will be staying with me for two weeks. Nine days now to be exact"

"I mean I don't think it'll be that bad..." Dimitri thought "...Despite what the pair of you have been through, you guys worked well together. Which is suprising..."

"Ugh! The executives said the same thing" I groaned

"What did they say, that mirrored my words?" Dimitri asked

"I asked Alistair why the show called him, he told me that the executives thought we were a good match- like can you believe that?" I was still shocked from the news that was recieved to me at work by Alistair

"I see why they would say that, however out of all the presenters, broadcasters and hosts in the UK, they chose Alistair and he said 'yes'" Dimitri was wrapping his head around the information "Surely you would've been okay doing the talkshow yourself"

"Thats what I told the executives earlier, but they decided to make a descion without my say, which is totally unfair"

The exeuctives should've discussed with me first in all honesty. This industry is very connected and even though I am not very vocal with my tramua and that, maybe- just maybe that non-existent conversation that should've been had would've allowed me to express if Alistair joining me as a co host to fill in Alex's shoes would be the right descion.

I don't have no beef with Alistair, that grudge was gone long time, but a conversation should've been had.

"They should've had a word with you first"

"Exactly, like you know I've squashed my issues with Alistair...it's just the whole deja vu shit..."

"No I understand where you're coming from. It's unfair that he can inflict so much trauma on you, but yet portrays this 'perfect man' on television..."

"To be honest he did apologise to me after the show, but then proceeded to get salty when I 'threw shade' at him for the way he treated me behind stage-" I air quoted the shade part, as I made it clear that I was just stating general facts

"My point"

"Damn I thought you liked Alistair?"

"No, I'm cordial with him because of Hugo and you should know that-" Dimitri started up the car engine "- I may have good chats with him here and there, but that doesn't stop me from calling out his bad behaviour"
