Wanted By The Boss

Chapter 6

Michael

What the hell am I doing? She's an employee for God's sake! Getting involved with me could ruin her reputation. What do I do?

Tonight was the LupusLA party and even though I was with my mother and had a plus one I was nervous. I hoped she showed up. Tonight meant a lot to me.

Why do you look so anxious,dear? What's on your mind? my mother asked.

Nothing mom. I'm just hoping someone shows up.

A girl? My mother probed.

Yes mom. But not just any girl. She's an employee but she doesn't look at me as a celebrity. She just sees Michael. She's not afraid to tell me how she feels, I said.

If she likes you, she will show up just because she knows how important this is to you. Just be patient okay?

Brianna

What the hell am I going to wear? I need to turn heads. I need to turn HIS head.

Sis what am I going to wear? I'm panicking over here!

First off girl... Calm the fuck down. Anyway... Wear that gold dress you just got. With your black and gold pumps from ShoeDazzle.

Why didn't I think of that?

You were too busy panicking sis. Good thing I was here. You probably would've had a complete meltdown.

I'm glad you were here. Are you sure you don't want to go with us?

No sis. You and my godson go have fun with MICHAEL.

AT THE PARTY

Michael

I smelled her before I saw her. She was an angel in a gold plunge v-neck backless dress with a slit up the side to mid-thigh.

Wow she looks amazing. I'm glad she showed up.

I was vaguely aware of the looks my mother gave with her I told you so stare. She gave Brianna an appreciative glance and walked to my father.

Brianna

I was well aware of the stares from Michael's fans they were jealous but also liked my look. I spotted Michael almost immediately. I felt his eyes on me as soon as I was in sight.

I decided not to take my son on account of him having a little fever and coughing a lot. I wanted my wingman by my side but I also didn't want my baby sick.

I have to get through a few hours and that's all. Why does he have to look so damn good? Lord give me strength. How am I going to get through tonight? I need a distraction... A good one.

Hello dear...you must be Brianna. I'm Michael's mother. It's so nice to meet you. You look gorgeous tonight darling. Gold really compliments your skin tone.

Thank you Mrs. Jordan. My best friend helped me pick it out. I was a little skeptical and anxious about tonight.

Dear please call me Mrs. Donna. Anyone who can make my Mike smile the way you do is practically family. He was anxious as well thinking you wouldn't show. He said you were bringing your son as well?

My son has a cough and a little bit of a fever. His father has him for tonight. I wanted to bring him but honestly he's too young to be at a party. I'm already anxious just about being seen with him and I'm his employee.

I see. Are you and your son's father still together? What's that relationship like? Do you really like my son or is this a kind of plot for his money?

I laughed at the first part until Mrs. Donna asked if I was using Michael for money. Then I wanted to cry because I knew it was going to be the first question asked by a lot of judgemental people.

No Mrs. Donna me and my son's father are no longer together. We have an awesome co-parenting relationship and great friends. We were friends for 15 years before we even entertained a relationship. We just didn't connect on that level. We're better off as friends. As far as Michael goes... I really don't know how to feel. I'm not using him for anything. I'm not sure what I see in him just yet. He makes me feel different not exactly sure how. I want to see what this is.

Mrs. Donna looked at me for a minute before she grinned. I'm not worried about you hurting him. I'm more worried about you hurting yourself dear. This is a cruel industry full of people who look at you like an opportunist instead of someone who's exploring feelings with someone who just happens to be a celebrity.

Yes ma'am. I understand.

Here comes my son now. I can honestly say... I've never seen him look at anyone the way he's looking at you right now.

I was really scared to look at him because I didn't want my body to react. When I smelled his signature cologne it took everything in me not to moan at just his scent. When I finally looked at him I froze in place. The look on his face was one of pure lust and longing.

Good evening Brianna. You look amazing tonight. Can I speak to you alone please?

Umm... Sure okay? Where can we go?

Meet me in the parking lot please.

I guess I can do that.

Outside, it was cool and crisp. My favorite type of weather. I stood by the tent waiting for Michael. In the next instance I felt myself being wrapped in strong arms. Michael pulled me behind the tent and kissed me roughly.

What was that for? I asked breathlessly.

I couldn't restrain myself anymore. I've been waiting for a chance to do that since I first saw you walk in.

Why?
that I
Because you look amazing in that dress and I would love to be the one to take it off. Get back to me before the end of the night beautiful. He winked at me.

I stood there speechless while I watched him walk away from me.

What the fuck just happened? Why does he have this effect on me? Why am I considering his offer?
