Falling For Him

chapter 5

Fast forward,it's Friday again,I love how this week flew by quickly. It has been a great week,Mr Reed has been extremely nice,I didn't learn my lesson from Monday because I walked into his office on Wednesday evening without knocking again and let's just say Monday was a PG version compared to Wednesday,he had his head between her legs this time and his hand on her breast, just like Monday they didn't mind but they both decided to flash a smile this time,I guess that's their way of telling me knock next time. I saw her face clearly this time,it was the same woman who was in his office last week,I remember thinking she looked familiar now I know why, I saw a picture of her on the internet next to Mr Reed,with a split between them announcing their break up,I guess they're back together again. No wonder he's been so nice. I walked into the building and decided to gist a little with Jessica before starting the day's work. This has been our routine all week,i get in 20minutes earlier so I can chat a little with Jessica and Eva. What can I say she's growing on me. She always has something funny to tell me about growing up in Nigeria.and growing up black,I could relate to some things.
After my little chat with the girls I go to my office,the rest of my day went by really fast. And it was time to go home,I was really tired and very hungry seeing as how I skipped lunch,because of jumping from one meeting to the other with Mr Reed,and might I add standing majority of the time in 6inch heels, so yeah my legs were also killing me. I head straight home,Eva texted me 2hours ago saying she was done for the day and she and Jessica where leaving already. I think I slept off in the taxi because when I open my eyes we're in front of my apartment,I quickly pay the taxi driver and get out. I get a call when I'm in the bathroom, it was Alex,he wanted to know how my day went and if we could hang out,I gave him a rundown of my day and politely declined. After my rather long bath,I check the time and it's 8pm,still starving I decided to get into my pj and Order pizza. My door bell interrupts me when I'm about to place a call to order pizza,confused as I wasn't expecting anyone,I paused my call and went to see who's at the door. Looking through the peep hole,I'm shocked to see Alex standing there with a box of pizza and a bottle of red wine,how the hell did he get my address. Opening the door still a bit confused,he gives me this heart stopping smile " hey gorgeous" like always I run out of  things to say and I can only come up with a squeaky " hi" , " are you gonna let me in,or are you gonna take a picture again" that's when I realized I've just been looking at him like the mofo I am. " How do you know where I leave,are you stalking me?" Great question meg,he decides to stalk you with pizza and wine, God I'm so stupid,opening the door wider I move aside for him to come in. " nice place you've got here" " yeah " I'm still rooted to my spot at the door because I'm not sure what to do. Snapping out of my daze quickly I take the pizza from him and lead him to the kitchen,he grabs a chair and Sit,while I grab plates and wine glasses " so about your question earlier,after talking to you and hearing how tired you were,I still wanted to see you so I got Eva's number from Jason and asked her for your address,she didn't want to at 1st but I told her I wanted to surprise you and she agreed" " thanks I guess,for the pizza,I was just about to order one" " now you don't have to" he says giving me his signature smile. " do you want to watch tv while eating or would like to stay here in the kitchen" " I'm down for whatever you want" " I was going to watch a movie after ordering pizza and just wait for sleep to come". " let's watch a movie then, what do you have in mind?" "I'm  not sure, maybe you can pick?". " how about we skip the movie, and just eat and i can give you a massage, i know you want that" Alex says while givingme a grin, " why don't i pick a movie and you can keep your hands to yourself" i say sweetly ". Grabbing our plates, leaving him to bring the wine and glasses and follow. We settle on the couch and I pick a movie, half way through the movie, i fall asleep on the couch.
*******
Opening my eyes, I'm blinded by sun rays, I'm in bed, how did i get here i remember falling asleep on the couch while alex and I where seeing a movie, Where's he? I'm brought out of my haze when I hear my door bell. Getting out of bed and wondering who it could be, i wasn't expecting anyone this early on a Saturday morning. Opening the door, in front of me is a gorgeous alex, " Morning sleepy head, did you sleep well?" "I guess I did" i ask if he wants to come in but he declines saying his in a hurry to open the tattoo parlor, it turns out that he came to return my key. Get this when I fell asleep on the couch, he carried me to my room and put me in bed, he didn't have the heart to wake me up cos i looked really tired, so he took my spare on my night stand let him self out, and locked the door before leaving, how sweet is that? I narrate everything that happened last night and this morning to Eva and Jessica. We were  currently having lunch at a cafe in the mall after an hour of shopping. " aww, that's so sweet" Jessica tells me. I look at Eva to hear what she has to say but she's smiling at her phone, i guess she  wasn't paying attention, " Eva", i whine " yes i totally agree" she says still typing on her phone. " so you totally agree with us to donate your next paycheck  to the less privileged" Jessica says trying not laugh. " yes totally, wait what? " we burst out laughing " i totally got that on record, so you're totally giving your next pay check to the less privileged " " i never said that " Eva says giving us her full attention,  " you totally did, i say still laughing " no i didn't. Jessica plays back the record that shuts her up immediately. Now spill, i tell her, "spill what "? " Who's making you smile and accepting to donate your pay check " Jessica answers before i get the chance to. " i don't know what you're talking about " oh really"?  i guess she's not ready to talk, we just let it slide. After lunch we say our goodbyes then i head home, i hear the notification sound of my phone, i see it's a text from Alex. A simple, "hey there gorgeous" got me smiling like i just hit the lotto. It's official, I'm falling for this boy and I'm falling hard.
