Daddy Material

I Chose Her

Land the biggest deal of my career? Check. Have a big up and coming name in the film industry come to your company for marketing? Check. End up with the girl of your dreams?

"Seungwoo, we are in a place of business," Zafirah giggled as she playfully pushed at me. I kept my grip on her tight and looked down at her. Her lips were always just screaming at me to kiss them and who was I to deny that. "Didn't you get enough this morning?"

Check.

Life was feeling pretty damn great. It was everything I had asked for and more since I was a freshman in high school.

"Mr. Han, I have a Kim Jisoo here to see you," my assistant Dongpyo said over the intercom. Really? You had to come now?

"Send her in," I told him. I turned back to Zafirah, but the mood had been ruined. Dreams of secret office rendezvouses? Poof! Gone. Zafirah sighed and pulled away. "I'm cutting things off. That's why she's here."

"Okay," she told me, but she didn't sound impressed. "I've got to get some work done. See you later." She turned around and opened the door, pausing again. "Nice to see you again, Jisoo."

"Hello Miss Hughes."

Zafirah moved around to reveal the small form of Kim Jisoo who smiled at me and I restrained the urge to groan. I could have been in here doing some very unprofessional things with my beautiful girlfriend (will never get tired of saying that) if it wasn't for this chick. But we needed to have this talk asap.

"Hi Seungwoo," she said, stepping into the office. She moved forward as if to give me a hug and I side stepped her as smoothly as possible, instead going to close the door. "Oh, is it that kind of meeting? I hope your office is soundproof."

I turned around so quick, I almost gave myself whiplash. Jisoo had already begun unbuttoning her top and I was starting to see her lacy black bra. "What? No! Stop!" I yelled, startling her. She stared at me, not moving to button her blouse back up. "Jisoo, I called you here because we need to talk, not for a quickie." She still just stared at me. "Could you please?" I gestured to her top.

"Oh," she said and finally began to button up. "What did you want to talk about? Your mother already cleared up the misunderstanding about Miss Hughes." Well this couldn't be good.

"What did she tell you?" I asked. I had a slight idea, but as I have recently learned, my mother could be a lot crueler than I thought.

"That you took her in off the streets after she found out she was pregnant and she's your childhood friend. I really shouldn't have assumed. Especially when your mother explained her predisposition to bring you into her problems instead of handling them on her own." And there it was. Of course Mom would say something like that about Zafirah.

But Zafirah never brought me into her problems. She handled everything on her own, had been since we became friends. I normally didn't get involved until after the fact, and even then, she didn't really want me to do anything. If anything, she was the one who got wrapped up in my problems on a regular basis.

I still remember when I beat the fuck out of Sunhwa's boyfriend who got caught with the prom queen. Zafirah stepped in when one of his friends tried to jump in, and beat the friend's ass.

Jisoo continued on. "I personally think it's admirable for you to look out for her like that. And we can always take things to my place as we continue this relationship."

"Jisoo, there is no relationship between us," I cut her off and she looked utterly confused at my statement. "You're a nice woman, but I'm not interested. Zafirah is my childhood friend, but she's also my girlfriend." Her face dropped once I said that. "At the time when we had our date and you stopped by my apartment, we weren't together. But I only agreed to the date because my mother forced me to. I'm sorry for leading you on."
