My Posh idiot (BOOK 2)

54💕

Iman Harriott ~

I got into my dressing room a little earlier than usual. With everything that happened yesterday, I didn't want to walk in a room filled with people singing my praises for speaking up. Especially not in the morning when I'm just about awake. I was not trying to hear anyone talk just as yet.

My phone had started to vibrate rigorously, thinking it was Alistair but it was Adonis instead. This was quite strange, giving it was only 5:45am. I don't even know if he is in Greece, as I remember he told me he travelled a lot.

I had some time on my hand, so I was like "why not". And as much as I did not want to, I still picked up the phone.

"Hi, is everything okay?" I asked

"Yes- we're all good...are we?"  He asked in a concerned tone

"Y-yeahhh-" I dragged out "-what made you ask that?"

I know exactly why he would ask that

"I haven't heard much from you- I want to see you..." he sounded like he was almost yearning for me

"I know, I've just been busy with stuff..."

And the busy was with Alistair...

"Right...I'm coming to England in a couple of weeks, we can catch each other then..."

"Adonis which part of England?" I asked him

"You're from London right?..."

"Yeah..."

"Well London it is..." Adonis sounded optimistic, as I couldn't help but snicker

"Wait you haven't planned this, haven't you..." I scrunched my face in confusion, but amused at the same time

"I don't need to plan, just tell me whenever you need me and I'll be there Agápi (love)..." I smiled at his charm

"So if I told you I needed you now, would you come right now?" I tested his theory

"Wait hold on-"

"You capper!" I pointed out

"Capper?..."

"It means you're talking rubbish, nonsense, like a joker even..." I explained "...but I wished you called me at a different time though because I'm at work"

"Oh, what time is it in England?" He asked

"It's nearly 6am- what time is it wherever you are?" I asked him

"I'm in Canada, so it is 1 in the morning, almost time for me to get sleeping"

"1am, you should be out there partying or something since you are travelling" I thought

"I wanted a peaceful night, and hearing your voice again is peaceful enough" his voice became raspier

"You just wanted me to hear how sexy your voice sounded before you went to bed..." I flirted, knowing it felt right for some strange feeling

"That too..." he chuckled "...I will let you get back to work and I'll let you know when I am in England. Goodnight agápi mou..."

"Goodnight to you too..." I said back before the call ended

I placed my phone on the desk, as I went to go and look in the mirror and cursed myself for the mess I have put myself in.

"Shit!"

It was fifteen minutes before the cameras had started to roll again for the last episode of this week. I wanted to act as if nothing had happened in the last 24 hours, but I feel like I owe it to my fan base that I share my story with them. I mean allow guests to come on the show to tell their truths and that's what Alex's and I's show is all about. Plus the whole nation knows that I was raped, I might as well tell my full story. It's all I can say according to the police, my story, nothing else.

"Can you inform the production crew that I want to start the show differently, it'll on be for five minutes..." I informed Melanie

"Yes, of course I can do that" she responded, before going off

"You okay?" Alex asked

"Yeah I'm good- so much has happened within the last 24 hours, to come into work to act as if nothing happened didn't feel right with me..." I explained to him

"I hear it- so are going to speak out again?" He asked

"Yeah something like that- I'll just tell the full story. It's something I've been struggling with, but I won't go into the nitty gritty, I might freak out like I did in my therapy sessions" I slightly chuckled

"How's that going for you though?..." he asked

"It's been okay...I do feel a little bit excited as I'll be able to tell my therapist that I spoke out, but yeah it hasn't been too bad..."

"That's good to hear- I'm glad you've spoken out though, and to do it again, it'll be easier for you..." Alex patted me softly on my back in appreciation "...I've got your back and if you know who tries it with you the way he did with Amaya...I know a couple of people..." the foolish threats from Alex's mouth came out again

"I know you told me..." I laughed

"I'm just making sure you remember. Not a lot of us make it out in the professional world you know. We have privilege, but also we don't forget who we grew up with..."

"You're right and you know what, I think that's what makes our show so different from everyone else. We're both black, young and professional but we speak to the culture as well..."

"Yes...however I do feel like bringing Alistair onto the show gave us a slightly new audience"

"In what way?" I cocked my brow "you think he should be a co host on our show?"

"That's if the audience want it- but no homo, man is handsome...I'm not shocked that you dated him..." Alex whispered the last part in my ear

If he knew that man was going to be breaking my back in all types of sinful ways later on...

"Right..." I bit my lip a little

"...I felt like he brought in a new demographic of white women, mainly middle aged ones...but it looks like the demographic he brought in was you..." Alex sneaked in, causing me to snap out of daydream of Alistair

"What are you talking about Alex?" I questioned him, a little bit embarrassed but also acting as if I didn't know what he was on about

"We're about to go on air soon"

"You joker, we've got five minutes left, you can air it out..." I was becoming anxious

Alex looked at me with a smirk on his face "...if you say so, but this is my opinion before you cuss me out. The pair of you are fucking on the low..."
