Eternal Love #Wattys2016

Chapter 4

The next week, Janet walked into the office in a black pencil skirt with a white blouse, her long untamed curls hanging loosely over her right shoulder. Her high heels clicking on the tile floor. She held her folder in her hands and her thick framed glasses high on her nose. Her cute and geeky nature made her wife/ employer giddy to have her. It also made her guilty for that kiss in the coach's office. It was tearing her apart, and it affected her attitude.

"Ok...all the quarterly reports are finished, our filed data are now in complete alphabetical order and ready to be imputed into digital form," she said, smiling at how proud she was of herself for fixing the order of the mix matched files given to her by the 5th floor, who handled all the affairs in paperwork.

"Good...thank you," Nicki said as she focused on her desk top, typing an email or two. Janet tilted her head and gave a curious look. Normally Nicki, would give her plenty of praise for doing something that she was supposed to on her own.

"And uh...you have a meeting in 5 minutes with an investment fund,"

"uh-huh," she said, not even paying attention.

"And I had sex with a male stripper and I am now pregnant by him," she said folding her arms.

"That's cool babe," Janet slouched with a sigh and shook her head, walking away from the door. Sherika looked over at her and wondered what was up. Janet walked by the door, then winked at Sherika and everyone else watching the comedy show. Janet walked passed the door and "tripped" over her chair, and fell to the floor, and cried a bit in pain.

"Ow! I-I think I twisted my ankle," She whined holding her leg. Sherika walked over to her and bent down next to her.

"Oh Janet, are you alright?" she asked, trying to contain her giggles.

 "No! I think...I think my ankle is broken!" she cried in her best sob voice and they all looked on as Nicki did nothing.

"Really?" Janet raised a brow, and got up, straightening her skirt. She walked into Nicki's office, and walked around her desk and took a deep breath, then finally shouted.

"ONIKA!!!" Nicki jumped up from her rolling chair and fell to the floor, holding her hand over her heart as she grabbed her chest.

"What the hell did you do that for?"

"Babe...I have been talking to you for the past 4 minutes and I have said and done the craziest things to get your attention and you haven't taken your eyes off that screen,"

"Oh....sorry. I just have a lot on my mind... since that damn hacker still has most of our most important and well needed files, I just need some me time," Nicki said as she got up and pecked Janet on the cheek, then making her way to the meeting room. Janet sighed as she watched her walk away. She worried about her wife, since the week before, it's been awkward between the two, Most the time, Nicki is in her own little world, and it tells Janet that there is something she's not telling her. She shook her head and got up, deciding to take care of the data entry herself, since her wife's meeting may last over 3 hours. he phone began to ring so she answered.

"Hello, Riggs Inc. how may I help you?"

"Wow mom, so official," She heard her son's voice on the other end of the line.

"Tyler....what's up honey?"

"Nothing, it's just Tanya has a surprise for you and Momma when you get home,"

"Oh does she? I hope it's the good type of surprise,"

"Don't worry mommy...it is," he laughed a bit through the phone.
