Married To My Enemy

Getting All Dolled Up

Nine am in the morning. Leslie lays on her back. Her alarm clock going off, so that she could get up and make her way to her morning routine. Which involved a breakfast smoothie and a jog. As she turned to get out of bed, she sighed and said to herself. "I'm really not in the mood for this shit today." she then pulled the covers back and got up. Before she could even continue about her day, her cell phone started to ring. She looked down at it laying there on the dresser table, as she looked closer it was a number that she didn't recognize. She wanted to brush it off, but something told her to answer the call. She then picked it up.
"Hello." was all she said.
"I was afraid you weren't gonna answer." she heard Derek on the other line.
"Well you guessed right, cause honestly I wasn't going to. How did you get my number anyways huh?" she asked.
He chuckled on the other end of the phone. "I have my ways. You of all people should know that."
Leslie rolled her eyes.
"Well your way is a little creepy." she said.

Derek took in a deep breath, and then let it go. "Look I need you to do something for me?"
Leslie made her way towards the bathroom, closing the door behind her to use it. "And what might that be? Haven't I done enough, when I told you yes to marriage."
"You really don't get how this works. You still have things you have to do." Derek said.
Leslie then stood and flushed. She then proceeded to wash her hands. "And what is that, that I need to do?" she said.
"I need you to come down to the company. The higher up's want to meet you."
Leslie almost dropped her phone after he said that. "Want to meet me?" her voice in a little shock.

Derek smirked and she could hear it as he spoke. "Yes they want to meet you. Today I need you here at ten o clock." he said. Leslie walked out and looked at her alarm clock. That was in less then an hour. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Okay I will be there soon." she said

After they hung up. Leslie rushed to get ready. After a while she was ready to go, she grabbed everything that she needed. She then walked out of the apartment.
She walked out and got into her car. And drove to Derek's work. As she pulled into the parking lot, she could feel her heart beating fast in her chest. She was so nervous.
Leslie got out of her car and headed inside. Derek sat at the head of the company table as he always did. One of the higher up's looked at him. "Well were is the lovely lady that you are gonna marry?" he asked.
Derek looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry she is one her way."
As he said that, the doors opened and Leslie walked in. As she walked in everyone stopped and looked at her. The whole room was silence.

Derek looked at her surprised. She wore the most beautiful dress she could find.

Derek watched her in amazed. She looked too damn good in the dress she wore. It actually made him bit his bottom lip.
Leslie was confused, as she looked at everyone staring at her. She wasn't sure why they stared at her. Was it cause she was a black women, or was it the fact that she wasn't some skinny model chick. She could hear herself in her head talking. "Yeah y'all thought huh?" she then looked around and then towards the head of the table. She spotted Derek he was staring as well. But he had this look in his eye's. The very same look she knew all to well, and that was lust.
Derek thought how much he wanted to just throw her down and take her right there. But of course in private. She really looked good enough to eat.

After a while of staring. A higher up interrupted Derek's lustful gaze at Leslie. "Well are you going to introduce us? Or just sit and stare?" he said.
Derek snapped out of it and looked at the man. "Oh yes right." he said.
He then stood and walked over towards Leslie. He smiled and placed his hand on her lower back.
Leslie felt his hand on her lower back, resting just above her bottom. She couldn't help but blush as he touched her.
He then started to speak." Okay everyone I would like for all of you to meet my wife to be. Her name is Leslie."
Leslie couldn't help but to look at him as the word wife fell from his mouth. She really felt some type of way about it, but she didn't say anything. She then looked at everyone." Hello I'm Leslie. It is such a pleasure to meet you all."she said.

A couple of the  higher up man rushed over to shake her hand. Derek saw them as hungry animals ready to attack. He grew a little mad at the way they rushed to her.
Leslie shook each and every one of there hands.
" It is such an honor to meet you. I can see why Derek wants to marry you." he said as he looked over her body.
Leslie felt a little sicken by this old man checking her out, but she kept it casual and cute. " Well I try." she said with a little laugh.
"How do you know each other? may I ask?" other man said.

Leslie just smiled and looked at Derek. She could see he was jealous. She then looked back towards the men. " Well we have known each other since high school. And one day he was bold enough to ask me out, and we have been together since."
"That sounds very nice. We didn't think he had anyone he would actually take seriously. Since here at work he is a little rough around the edges." the man said.
Leslie couldn't help but laugh, cause it was true. He was always that way even in high school.
" Yeah. But he really means well, plus I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to share his personal life."

Just then Derek placed his hands around her, and pulled her closer towards his body. " Don't be silly. It's cause I don't like to share." he said with a laugh.
" Well that will be enough. We have work to get to, you will all have a chance to talk to her more at the wedding."
Derek then turned his body along with Leslie's body around and walked towards the door.
Leslie waved goodbye and said it too. " Goodbye." They then walked outside. Leslie walked towards her car. As she walked Derek watched her, looking her up and down. Once they made it to her car. She unlocked her car and opened the door, before she could get in Derek stopped her.
"Leslie... You..."
She looked at him confused, waiting on what he would say.
" Next time come a little more covered up. I don't need my coworkers looking at you like a peice of meat."
She couldn't help but smile, but her smile made his blood boil. "Don't look at me like that."

"Oh are you jealous? Huh are you really jelly right now?" she asked.
He smirked. She really knew how to push his bottons. " No I'm not, but you are MY wife. And I don't want them looking at you in such a way."
Leslie raised her brow at him. " And what way is that?" she asked.
But he didn't answer her, he then turned. "Next time don't try my patience." he said as he walked away. Leslie frowned. "Whatever." she said as she got into her car, started it and drove away.
Derek headed back to his office. He smirked to himself, licking his lips. He then thought if she wants to try him. She will see just how far he would go just to show her she still belonged to him.
