An unexpected Surprise

Chapter 12

Desmond's POV

"And if we use this process our sales will go up 25% by next year" I said finishing off my power point presentation. Claps filled the room and I thanked them for coming before heading to my office. I waited in the for about five minutes before Hakeem entered giving me a thumbs up. I dapped him up and we celebrated another win.

"They want over a thousand of our orders now thanks to you"

"Damn!"

"Man we have to celebrate. Where do you think we should go? Strip club or Club booty shake"

"Imma pass this time"

"You? Pass up club booty shake? I don't believe it" he says and I roll my eyes

"Look I just want to relax and chill with my daughter. I missed out on nine months already

"Alright I feel you but next time you better be there" He warned and I chuckled before he left my office. Now for the boring stuff. I turned on my computer and pulled up Microsoft word so I could get ready to type out the company report. Right as I began to type my secretary paged me.

"Mr. Harter someone by the name of Mya is here to see you, should I send her in?"

"Yes" I organized my desk suddenly getting nervous before realizing what I was doing. What the hell was this woman doing to me. She knocked and I yelled for her to come in and when she did I lost my breath. She was wearing a black dress that stopped mid thigh, a sleeveless jeans jacket and heels that made her legs look sexy. Her brown hair with light brown streaks was curled and flowed down her back showing off her necklace with a heart on it. I couldn't help but admire every single one of her curves and trust me when I say this girl had many. She carried Jazmine on her hip and I stood up and took Jazmine from her, bouncing the baby up and down in my arms earning giggles from Jazmine.

"What made you guys stop by?"

"We were in th neighborhood and decided to come bring you lunch" she held up the bag of food from Mama's that I hadn't realized until now and my stomach let out a loud grumble. Her eyes widened with amusement dancing off them before she handed me the bag and took Jazmine back. I thanked her before pulling out the boxes of food and it took all my might for me not to drool at the scent of it.

"By the way you don't have to babysit Jazmine tonight" I let her know and she smiled

"That's great because I was just about to tell you I couldn't babysit her" we both laughed at how convenient the situation was.

"Just curious but how come you couldn't babysit Jazmine"

"Do you remember Andrew?" I shook my head 'no' "The doctor from the hospital" I kissed my teeth remembering that lame ass nigga.

"What about that punk?"

"One he isn't a punk and we're going out tonight" she said excitedly and couldn't believe what I was hearing. My girl was going out without another man.

"Your not going out"

"What?" she laughed "Desmond stop playing"

"I'm not joking, your ass is staying home" she put both hands on her hips, clearly pissed and i'm not going to lie her angry face was a big turn on.

"Desmond i'm going out"

"Mya what did I just say?"

"I don't give a damn what you just said! I'm a grown woman and i'm taking my grown ass on a date"

"Mya this is the end of this disscusion, your not going. Period." I told her before taking a bite out of this food. Damn this was good.

She walked to the door but before she walked out she said "Whether you like it or not i'm going on this date Desmond because you may be Jazmine's daddy but you sure as hell ain't mine" and with that she walked out the room without Jazmine slamming the door behind her. Why couldn't she just agree not to go.

Mya's POV

I slammed my car door pissed as hell before starting up the engine. I didn't understand this man. One minute were just friends, then were kissing like lovers, then he's flirting with other girls, the next he's acting possessive like he's my man. Sighing in frustration I used my voice control on my car and called Kayla as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"You've reached Kayla, what's up?"

"Meet me at Aventura Mall in twenty"

"Sure but why?"

"I have a date tonight"

"Finally you and Desmond admitted you feelings. Good for you girl. Who said it first?"

"It's not with Desmond"

"What! Girl you know you want Desmond so why are you even wasting your time with other guys" she asked and it took me a while to respond.

"Because i'm tired of Desmond messing with me so i'm going on a date with a guy who bluntly told me how he feels"

"In that case, i'll be there in fifteen"

"Thank you"

"No problem I just hope for your sake that you find the right one" and with that we said our goodbyes and hung up leaving me to think. Desmond wasn't going to play with my emotions this time. Before I could think more about the topic I got a call from Andrew. I answered almost immediately.

"Hey"

"Hey, how's your day going?" He asked and I smiled removing all thoughts o Desmond out of my mind.

"Great and yours?"

"It'll be amazing if you can confirm our date is still on?"

"Well then consider your day an amazing day"

"In that case, i'll see you later beautiful" The smile that came on my face would've been worth millions of dollars if it had of been captured on camera. I hung up smiling before continuing to head home. Desmond who?
