This Thing Called Life

Chapter Ten: Proof Is In The Pudding

Come on girl it's time to close up shop said Teagan. As Imani phone kept buzzing with back to back text messages from a potential client who wanted to buy a newly renovated house. Are you talking about Sebastian?? Yes, girl I've been showing him multiple houses for the last few weeks she replied I'm surprised you haven't closed a deal said Teagan. Imani told her she felt the same exact way but hopefully today is the day we can get something done. Do you need for me to come with you? Why do you gotta come help me close! Just so I can share half of my commission with you I would rather take Kennedy, speaking of which I wonder did she ever close the deal with the young lady that came in earlier? Oh it was closed on 5 minutes, you see that girl don't waste no time said Teagan you see she's in there doing paperwork right now hey, Ken we're heading out do you want us to stay and help said Teagan. No I'm ok I just have to finalize the paperwork, do one of y'all mind dropping off the welcome home package to Christina who is that?? Kennedy explains that she is the girl I just sold the home to she finally moved in, and I wanted to stop by and give her the welcome home letter myself but I'm swamped with paperwork. Well why don't you just email it to her said Teagan, now that's unprofessional, and besides she looked happy when we closed the deal it's the least I could do! Don't worry Kennedy I'll get it to her ASAP said Teagan. She told her thanks and they both left the building. When Imani made it to the house she seen Sebastian standing outside waiting that's when he walked over to her car, and opened the door. Sorry I'm late she replies as she got out the car he told her she was fine as they both of them viewed the house Imani took him inside so they can tour the house by the time they were finished she took him to the dining room so what are we thinking? He inhaled deeply then told her he wanted to buy the house. She was ecstatic, she quickly reached into her briefcase and went over the contract. While Sebastian was signing the paperwork she asked him what's the special occasion for buying the house? Well I was thinking of sharing the rest of my life with you he replied Imani stood there stunned by his reply well that's nice of you to do but you don't even know me? Oh yes I do I've done my homework on you, you are 26, you graduated top of your class, you love romantic movies, and you first love is music Wait a minute have you've been stalking me on the low, who are you! Sebastian told her to relax I played college ball with your Diamanté I'm recently divorced, she walked out of my life, and never looked back. Im originally from the north-side of Greenville I just moved back to the ville. I love Chinese food, and Sunday night football. He stood out his hand, and Imani shook it. Your smooth, I bet you have tons of women knocking at your door why do you want me? He told her I don't want you I need you, but I'm ok with getting to know you before we take it to that level, there is only one other lady in my life and that's my four year old dog Mila. She looked down, and seen that he finished signing the papers so she faxed them over to Kennedy so she could finalize them, once she got the approval she handed him the keys to the house. By the time Teagan made it to Christina's house she seen the lights on in the living room, she rung the doorbell there was no answer so she rung it again. She came to the front door wearing a towel around her. Teagan told her she was just dropping off the paperwork, as she went to grab the paperwork out of her hand, Teagan immediately noticed Gerald's voice when he called Christina's name. When he made it downstairs the look on Teagan's face was priceless, Babe this is Teagan she was just dropping off the paperwork, he stood there in shock so Teagan shook his hand and gave him a complete stared down  before she walked back to her car. By the time Kennedy was finished with the paperwork Sean walked into the office to see her getting ready to leave. So look who's working hard for that promotion I love me a hardworking woman! She told him to pump his breaks, and keep his eyes off of her before she pulls out her taser. Sean told her he's like a little pain with some pleasure and she immediately rolled her eyes and walked passed him. Hey before you go If you ever need someone to talk to you I am here for you my queen? She proceeds to tell Sean for the 100 time I'm married why can't you get that through your head! Sean told her he loves forbidden fruit, and the way you carry that Georgia peach I want to bite into it! You can't tell me your happy with Gerald, you know before him I was your first and you can't forget about that so you run home to your husband but we both know eventually you'll be back! She walked out of the office quickly and rushed to her car, as the day finally came to an end Imani wakes up from a nap she realizes she is not in her bed until Sebastian walks in with Pizza and chocolate covered strawberries. Aww you didn't have to do that!! He stood there confused then he told her he cooked this, he handed her a plate, after she said grace she ate some of organic pizza and it was delicious. I see you know your way around the kitchen what can't you do? Well I can't sew but I'm taking a class said Sebastian. Imani put down her pizza and explained to him that she wants to take things slow, even though they just hooked up who knows how long this will last but until then she just want them both to enjoy each other. They both agreed and went back to spending time with each other.
