Kennedy’s Point of View

I woke up to a loud ring from my mobile phone, glancing at it I find that its 10am and one of my managers was ringing me. Today is meant to be my day off, so I’m guessing it must be some type of emergency. “Hey Lucy what’s up?” I mumbled into the phone. “I think you may need to come in some man wants to talk to you” replied one of my closest friends.

I got out of bed and took a quick shower, I didn’t bother to ask Lucy what the man wanted because I know she wouldn’t have rang me if I didn’t need to come in. After my shower I quickly put a smart business attire on my 5”4 slim figure. I also apply my standard minimal make-up which consisted of foundation and a layer of mascara. I walk out of the house and drive towards my range rover that I brought as a gift to myself and drive towards one of the two bakeries that I own.

When I arrive Lucy is waiting for me and informs me that the mystery man that I am supposed to be meeting is in the back office of the bakery waiting for me. I approach my personal to see a man sitting on my chair behind my desk. Instantly I dislike him, I mean who does that? Sit on someone else’s chair and desk. As much as I initially dislike this man I have to admit that he is handsome. He’s got light blue eyes that contrast with his dark features. His hair is brown and wavy at just the right length just touching his shoulder. He exudes a confidence like no man can or should be able to do.

My initial anger is taken away by the sheer sexiness of this man. I quickly shake myself out of my trance before I start practically drooling at his feet. I walk towards him “Hi my name is Kennedy Harris and I’m the owner of Sweet Temptations, now if you’d like to move out of my seat, we can discuss the reason for your unannounced visit”. I know I sound salty and rude like your stereotypical ‘black woman’ but I will not have anyone come into my place of business and sit in my seat like they’re the boss of me.

The man gives me the sexiest smirk that showcases the, to die for dimples on his cheek. He stands up and saunters towards me, oh my this man is tall. He dwarfs my 5”4 frame by approximately a foot. I give him my most serious expression and watch him closely as he moves, no glides to the chair opposite my own and settles himself. I sit down opposite him and wait for him to get himself settled. He sits there looking at me without saying a single word.

“Do you have a name?” I ask him with a tilt to my head. He replies “Smith, Tyler Smith” who does he think he is James Bond? “From Smith Enterprise I’m sure you’re aware of it” he continues. Who wasn’t aware of it? It was the biggest acquisition company of the country dating back to three generations, they bought and invested in businesses and increased profits. “Yes I’m aware of Smith Enterprise, but what would you like from me?”

“We’d like to buy your products and…” I stopped him right there, I wasn’t interested in what he had to say. “No, I will not sell my products, company or soul to your company, I’m sorry Mr. Smith, I’m not interested in getting involved with your company.”

“You didn’t even give me a chance to finish what I was saying Miss Harris, it is Miss isn’t it?” what does that have to do with anything? “Miss, not that it’s any of your business, I really appreciate that you’re interested in Sweet Temptations but I like my business the way it is and I want to keep it how it is, getting involved with your company will change all of that, so no, I’m sorry but no.”

“Okay here’s what I’ll do, I’ll give you my business card for you to contact me if you need to and I will try to convince you another day but right now I’ve got a meeting to get to.”  

“You won’t be able to convince me, but I’ll take it. Let me at least walk you out” I reply as I get up and follow him out of my office towards the front door of the building. As we get to the front door he turns to me and offers his hand for a handshake. “It was nice meeting you Miss Harris, and I hope that we can work together sometime soon in the future.”

“You too Mr. Smith I doubt we will but have a good day” I watch him walk of and get into a shiny black Mercedes. I sigh, pretty annoyed that this was the reason that I had to get out of bed so early, I may as well stay and do something productive with my day since there was not much that I was going to do anyway. I turn to Lucy who is impatiently waiting for me to say something. “What?” I ask her.

“What did you say to him? And he’s very good looking I must admit, I know I don’t swing that way but even I have to admit that, that man is smoking” I figured he’d already discussed the business proposition to Lucy before I had arrived. “I said no and he’s alright”.

“Alright? Whatever and why did you say no? This is such an amazing business opportunity for us! Do you know how far we can increase the business? Come on Kennedy” I’ve known Lucy since college, we met in business class. Lucy had shares in Sweet Temptations which is the reason that she wanted to increase business so much. Although she had shares and an input in what happened in Sweet Temptations I had the last say in what we did with the business as I had come up with the business plan and most of the money to invest into Sweet Temptation. It was my baby, and I didn’t want anyone but Lucy and myself to make the decisions and control the company.

I started Sweet Temptations straight out of college with some help from my mother and father. It was a struggle at first opening the business as it is with most businesses. However I struggled through with it by staying with my parents for two years to save money and putting my blood sweat and tears into it. Lucy became part of Sweet Temptations two years into the business when I wanted to expand.

“Let me think about it first, you know how I feel about working under someone else. I’m sure that he’ll back and I’ll hear him out” I reply to Lucy’s questions. “Ok that’s fine, so what are you going to do with your day off then?”

“I thought I’d get some extra bits of work done, maybe I’ll help the bakers bake”. She frowns at me “No you will not, I do not want to see you in this building or the other Sweet Temptations until tomorrow morning. You work too much Kennedy, you need a break go on get out of my sight.” I laugh and leave the building before I get in anymore trouble. I get home and decide that I’ll go to the gym and work out for a while since it’s been some time. I always feel better after a good work out session.

Tyler’s Point Of View

I’d just left the bakery when my dad, also my boss rings me to ask how the meeting went with the Sweet Temptations owner. “How did it go son? Did he seem interested?”

“She dad, she, and no she’s not she said no, but I’ll keep trying to convince her” I say to him as I put my phone on hands free and get ready to drive to the next meeting of the day. “Well then try to convince her, she’s sitting on a gold mine and we need to get her business before anyone else does”.

“I’m working on it, don’t worry, I have to go now I’m driving.” I cut the phone and all I can think about is Kennedy. She’s so sexy, and the way she was getting fired up about me sitting on her chair turned me on beyond belief. She was short compared to me, mind you everyone was. She sat there dressed in her sexy but smart suit and rejected me. I’m not used to rejection, especially from women, but I’ll change that in no time. No one says no to Tyler Smith and gets away with it.

 She was so sexy with hair that was straight and reached the middle of her back. She had a cute button nose that I just wanted to kiss. Her figure was slim but she had good sized boobs and a cute tight ass. Yes I had checked it out. Her skin was a smooth chocolate brown that was so beautiful. I hadn’t met a woman like that in a long time. But I need to prove to her that she can’t just say no to me. The question is how. 

After a long day of work I go to a bar with my best friend Jacob who I’ve known since we were practically in diapers. “Hey man how’s it has been” Jacob approaches me, he’s a few inches shorter than I am and he’s slightly more muscly than I am not that I’d ever admit that out loud. It’s been so long since I’d seen, him and I was glad because I needed a drinking buddy after today because I was so frustrated with the meeting with the Kennedy chick that I was not in a good mood the rest of the day.

“It’s alright man just work and you know the usual shit.”

“Yeah man I know, but let’s not talk about work and just get drunk.”

So that’s what Jacob and I did, we got drunk out of our heads the whole night.
