Love Lasting Forever (Broppy)

Chapter 26

Branch and Mia spend the evening together and things get intense.

Branch was in the recliner looking at the ceiling with the tv on. He missed Poppy a lot and wanted her back he was watching his favorite show he was about to doze off when he heard a knock at the door.

He looked as he sat up and got up going to the door and opening it surprised to see Mia standing there wet.

She looked surprised and eyed his shirtless body once before looking up. ''Hey Branch.'' She smiled.

''Mia, what are you doing here?'' He asked.

''Well, I mostly came here to see Poppy. I have some questions about some of these files and she said she would be more then willing to help me.'' Mia answered stepping in.

Branch shut the door and turns around. ''Well, she is not here.''

Mia turned around with a raised eyebrow and got a giddy feeling. ''Oh? Where is she? I thought he'd have you on a leash.''

''No, she doesn't we are adults and trust each other.'' Branch snapped defending Poppy.

''Easy I was just joking.'' Mia raised up her hands.

''Since Poppy isn't here, I can help you.'' Branch said.

Mia went and sat on the couch as Branch sat next to her. ''So, what files do you need help with?'' He asked.

''What does transferring papers to higher up mean?'' She asked.

''Oh, well the papers must have got mixed up.'' He took to them from her as she leans over looking at them, but she took in his smell and got a small shiver.

''What do you mean?'' She asked.

''This is the reports from the other managers of the other bank branch's they were supposed to send it to us the CEO's and we read the numbers and type them in the computer. Here I'll show you.'' He got his laptop and came back over placing it on the coffee table and sitting on the floor as he typed in his password and his screen opened up to him and Poppy in trunks and a bikini with her in his arms as he kisses her cheek.

Mia saw this and felt that jealousy come up again. ''Ok so you will open the file and make a copy of it and then save and name the file from what bank it came from and then when the next reports come in you will look at them to see if they have gone up since then or down.'' Branch replied.

''So, what happens if it goes down?'' She asked looking at the reports and back at him.

''That means the bank isn't doing well and if it gets too low, we have to go visit those banks to see what is going on.'' He said as he closes his computer.

''Ah that makes more sense.'' Mia said sitting back with a smile.

''Why did you come here looking for Poppy when you could have called her or me?'' He asked.

''Well, I mean Poppy made it pretty clear in the bathroom the day of Ryan's party that she doesn't want me around you. Afraid that I might still have feelings for you and that I'm trying to win you back.'' Mia replied.

''She didn't mean that. It's just we've both notice that you like to flirt with me and to be fair giving what she went through with her ex I can't blame her.'' He replied.

''Still, you would think she trusts you.'' Mia replied.

''She does, it's you she doesn't trust.'' Branch said.

''Yeah, I mean we are called exes for a reason.'' Mia joked as it thundered out and was pouring.

''True.'' He said.
