I sat on top of his desk in my underwear and I look back at him. I see him trying to fix his tie. I turn around and face him. I fix it for him as I smirk.
"I'm sorry... It's just... I'm usually able to tie my own tie, but you just gave me the ride of my life." I tilted my head a little. I looked behind him and saw a polaroid camera. I smiled and pointed at it.
"What the hell?" he turns his spinning chair around and he grabs it. He faces towards me again.
"Turn around and look back." I did as he said and as soon as I looked back he took the picture. I saw it come out and I grabbed it and shook it a little. I got off of his desk and got dressed. I fixed my hair and looked at his clock. It read 1:45pm.
"You have a meeting at 2 o'clock don't forget." I picked up my notebook and pen and walked out calmly. No one looked at me suspiciously and I sat at my desk. I began to type up some lists that need to be made.
"Hi is my husband in his office." I looked up to Mr. Foster's beautiful wife staring down at me. I smiled and picked up the phone and dialed him.
"Mr. Foster your wife is here to see you." I hung up the phone and led her into his office. I saw him stare at me for a moment, but he then changed his focus to her. I closed the door and went back to my desk.
15 minutes went by and and Mrs. Foster came out smiling. Mr. Foster kissed her on the lips and I looked up at him.
"We're working it out. She's letting me back in the house and we should probably make whatever this is just back to business." I looked at him and smiled and turned my back towards him.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. As far as I know we went out to lunch talked about the meeting came back and for an hour in your office you gave me a list of things you need me to work out and do," I looked back at him and leaned back in my chair and crossed my legs.
"By the way Mr. Foster you're meeting starts in 5 minutes." He checked his watch and he hurried up and began to walk to the conference room. I'm so ready to go home. Well, actually I'm ready for the weekend.
After work I head to usual spot. I sit down and read and order the same drink. I begin to remember this is how I met Geoffrey. I can't put my finger on it. It's just something about him that's mesmerizing. If he's going to hurt me, I want to know that. I want to be able to make the decision to go into some form of relationship with him knowing what I'm getting myself into.
I pull out a cigarette and begin to smoke. I put my book down and stare out into space. Then I see a figure block my vision. I look up to see Geoffrey I smile and sit back.
"You found me." he smiles and bites his lip slightly. He pulls out a chair in front of me.
"Anyone sitting here?" I shake my head no and he sits down. I see him take out his own cigarette and I light it for him.
"So Nicole how was your day?" should I tell him. I mean we are friends I should be able to tell him. I bite the inside of my cheek.
"C'mon talk to me." I guess he must've realized something was on me. I look at him and smile.
"Let's just say my day turned around completely and it was like I was 18 again doing things I know I shouldn't. I was just reckless today." I put my hand on my forehead and smirked. I took a drag of my cigarette.
"Tell me. We are friends you know?" I smile and laughed.
"I slept with my boss and apparently gave him the ride of his life." I seen something change in Geoffrey's eyes like a hint of jealousy. Then he smirked and took a drag of his cigarette.
"Is it going to happen again," I look at him and shake my head 'no' he nods his head slowly and looks at me.
"Good." I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms. I looked at him and stared. Did he just say good? What the fuck? Y'know what Nicole he's jealous it's as simple as that. He wants you to himself. Oh Godddd Nicole don't get all cocky like you know it all. Don't flatter yourself.
"You know I've heard about your many escapades with women. I'm guessing it's always been just sex with you." He chuckled and looked at me. I see him take his man bun down and shake his hair letting it fall. He plays with the band.
"I've built a strong friendship with them all. We just always seem to get carried away. Besides they know it's just sex." I shake my head and smirk and let my cigarette hang from my lips.
"Do they?" I see him tilt his head side to side and look at me and laugh a little.
"Sometimes they get surprised and don't know that it's just sex." I looked up at him and sat back in my seat and took another drag of my cigarette.
"Am I going to get surprised?" I see him look away and he says nothing. I take out my phone and put it away.
"Well if you think I'll sleep with you, I won't. Just because of the fact you didn't answer my question, but I'm sure you can live without one kitty from your life." He looks at me and smirk. He leans forward and stares at me.
"Why are you staring?" I ask and roll my eyes. I drink my whiskey and smoke my cigarette.
"Have you ever had a feeling when you meet someone that you know if you were to befriend them you know how it would turn out?" I looked at him confused and shrugged my shoulders.
"No, but it sounds like you need to go see a psychic to tell you how your life will turn out." He chuckled and looked at me. He got up and stood next to me and he squatted down and came close to my ear.
"All I know is my life ends up having you in it." I feelnhis breath leave my ear and I look at him. Again he leaves and I'm stunned and completely speechless. Nope he's not getting away so fast. I get up and hurry up and pay. I run after him and catch up to him.
"What do you mean?" He keeps walking and smirks I put my arm in front of him and I stop him. I look his dead in the face. He looks down at me. FUCK!!!! I hate being short.
"I had a dream and you were in it. I know you'll be here, but I'm afraid about the future. It was beautiful, but it was toxic." I laughed and looked at him. I ran my fingers through my hair.
"And you believe that dream? I mean you'll be fine, uh... I mean....well I guess we'll be fine too, but we're just friends anyway right? Nothing to worry about." even though I didn't focus on philosopy, psychic type shit, or dreams and astrology something about what he just told me scared the hell out of me. I felt him grab my shoulders and look at me.
"Nicole... I was just kidding." I see him and laugh and I hit his chest. I laugh with him.
"Geoffrey... Really?" He shakes his head up and down and continues to laugh.
"You should've seen your face," he continues to laugh and I hit him again. He brings me into a hug and he pushes me away putting his head on my forehead.
"But really Nicole I really do want you to be in my future." He smiles and then walks away. Why does he do that? I shake my head and head to car. I drive home and go on my back patio. I take the photo of me that was taken today by Mr. Foster. I begin to paint it.
For once in so many years I'm able to paint something. Something that is kind of meaningful. Today I gained back a little piece of me. I am a free spirit and I don't like hiding it.
