"I'm not gone do you like them other niggas"
"You know that's what my ex said right? And he cheated on me with more than one girl"
"Give me a chance" he said.
"I won't break your heart" he said
And what did Zachary Anderson do...
Read to find out...
"Hey boss I'm leaving early for the Christmas party" Nessa said walking into my office.
"Alright, have a good night" I refused to look at her because ever since we shared that eye contact I felt like maybe she might've gotten the wrong idea.
I want to be professional with her.
"Zach" I hummed in response and finally looking at her.
"You're coming right?"
"I am" shifting my gaze back to my papers. She wouldn't just leave and that annoyed me.
"Okay, you just don't seem interested"
"And I'm more than likely not but I'll be there"
"Will your wife be there?"
"Why does that matter to you?" I look at her and she shrugged. "I'm just trying to understand why you don't seem interested in a lot lately"
I sighed and rested my hands on the table "Vanessa, let's keep this strictly professional. This is my personal business and seeing as I am your boss I don't want any lines to be crossed. What happens in my marriage is none of you business"
She scoffed "are you serious?" I set my face like a flint. "I was just trying to understand why you've been so down lately. Excuse me for caring."
"I just wanted to pay you back kindness for kindness" she said before walking out and slamming my door shut.
I rolled my eyes before sighing.
"Women are so emotional" I muttered to myself.
I dragged my hand down my face and decided to call Nichelle.
To my dismay it went straight to voicemail. I tried again and it went straight to voicemail again.
What was Nichelle so busy doing? I missed her.
I spent the next 2 hours finishing up work and then started packing up to go the party.
I called Amira to see how she was doing and she was having the time of her life with Chantel.
Silly baby.
1 hour later...
I was already pulling up to the venue.
Nichelle still hadn't gotten back to me which was so frustrating.
I walked in the venue and the party was going well. Everyone was already seated and chatting amongst themselves or they were eating.
"Hey son" my father said making me shift my gaze to him. He hugged me "good to see you"
"How you doing pops?"
"I'm doing pretty good, your mom's been acting up lately about wanting to spend time with Amira" I sighed.
"But I know Nichelle's not comfortable with her being alone with Amira"
"That's right, I don't want to upset her at all"
"Nichelle's in all her right. When I get a chance I'll call you to pick up my grand baby" I nodded.
"Alright pops"
"Good, enjoy the night son" With that he turned off and went to start the night with the awards.
I looked for the table they had me placed at only to see Vanessa walking in my direction.
