ONE Night Only (BWWM)(On Hold)

Chapter 8

Mary J Blige: Stronger

Lelo

"Hello babygirl, fancy meeting you here..."

I give him a dirty look as I fix my hair that was messed during our little scuffle. "Mr Greene... Did you really have to manhandle me?"

"Call me Alexander baby, it's too late for formalities between us." The man has the audacity to actually wink at me, I give him my meanest glare which Danny says makes me look like a kitten.

In other words, instead of looking all mean and fierce, he says that I look cute. I can tell from the laughter in the eyes of the man in front of me that instead of scaring him, I'm actually amusing him.

"To answer your question- I had to 'manhandle' you because you wanted to run away from me again. What did you expect me to do?"

"I certainly didn't expect you to hold me hostage in a women's bathroom, that's for sure."

He chuckles and I can't help admiring how handsome he looks right this moment.

"You're not held hostage babygirl, you can leave whenever you want to."

I take a few steps towards the door but he doesn't budge from in front of it.

"Move away from the door, Mr Greene. My friends must be wondering where I am." I say through gritted teeth.

"Your wish is my command Lelo baby." He says taking a bow. "I will do that, but only if you give me something in return."

I throw my hands up in frustration, "ughh, do you normally lock yourself in female bathrooms with all the women you have one night stands with?"

"Nope, you're my first." He says grinning mischievously.

"Now let's get started so that you can get back to your friends as soon as possible... Please answer this question for me: why did you run away that morning?"

Just as I open my mouth to tell him off, the doorknob rattles before there's a knock. He doesn't step away from the door as I expected but folds his arms and raises a single eyebrow looking all kinds of relaxed.

"Lelz, you okay?" Ohhh my goodness, it's Neo.

I try to move him away from the door but he doesn't budge, instead he pulls me closer to him and buries his face in my neck.

"Uhhh, I'm fine Neo. I just have a runny stomach, must've been something in that salad." The idiot next to me chuckles at that. Nice going there Lelo, way to embarrass yourself, my inner voice mocks me. "I... I'll be right there babe."

"Alright, we're waiting for you, okay?"

As I hear the click-clack of heels walking away, I know that I have to end this conversation now.

"I really don't have time for this Alexander, I have to get back to work."

I say attempting to get free from his embrace and open the locked door.

"Alright if you want me to let you go, please have dinner with me tonight then so that we can talk and get to know each other better." He says trailing kisses on my neck and lightly biting it.

"I can't, I have plans tonight." I say, unconsciously turning my neck to give him more space.

"Tomorrow night then, I really want to get to know you better. Please Lelo... I'm not taking no for an answer."

"Tomorrow night will be fine, now please let me go."

He ignores my command, instead takes out an iPhone from his jacket and hands it to me, I stare at it in confusion.
