The Secretary

Chapter two

"All right Mr.Dun, Jontavion will definitely be in touch soon." I say to the CEO of Hot Money Records. They were our only meeting for the day and trust me they tired me out. Jontavion is 30 minutes late for his session with Chris because the meeting ran long. Once i have them out the door i lean against it and take a twenty second breather.
"You good C?" I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Mikey. "Yea just stressed. These meetings get longer every time we have one." He nods and sits me down in one of the chairs. I slump down and Mikey starts massaging my shoulders. He works magic into the knots in my shoulders. "Where did you learn this?" I ask once he's done. "My moms a Chiropractor and she taught me how to give someone the proper shoulder massage for stress." I roll my shoulders and neck with a new found looseness. "You're amazing. Thank you Mike." He smiles and nudges me. "No problem kiddo." I lift my eyebrow at him and smile.
I hear the lobby doors open and see Chris walk in. I wave to him and he heads up to the gym. He had to come to our gym to train Jontavion because a water pipe burst in his wall. I see Mikey smile in the corner of my eye and i turn my attention back to him. "Last time i checked Mike, I was older then you." I say. "Yea but who's taller?" he asks as he sets his arm on top of my head. I roll my eyes with a laugh. Whatever Mikey." I turn to walk away and head to the vending machines because i didn' get a chance to eat my lunch. Before i can even take a step forward i feel fingers around my wrist and I'm being spun around. I punch Mickey in his chest with a smile. "You are so not funny Michael." He acts as if I've offended him. "How dare you call me by my government?" he asks with a laugh. I roll my eyes in mock annoyance. "Let me take you out tonight.." I laugh and then look up at him to see that hes serious. "Can I get back to you? I have a meeting in like 10." He nods and I walk off at a loss for words.

~~~~~ 2 hours later ~~~~~

"Really?" He nods and smiles. "We can go as friends, deal?" I think about it and shake my head. Then the memories from earlier come rushing back and I shake my head. I have to stop thinking about Jontavion all together because he has a girlfriend. "Not tonight. I have to go over to Jontavion's moms house." I say. Mikey nods and takes a rain check. I look over his shoulder and see Gibbs and Jontavion standing not too far away. We walk over to them and I avoid eye contact with Jontavion. "We are about to head out. We're gonna drop Katrina off then i need you to call my 7:30 and tell them we'll be arriving at 8." I look over at Mikey and sigh. "Good thing I took a rain check." he says before smiling at me.

"Tomorrow then." I nod and he waves bye then leaves. Jontavion, and Katrina walk in front of Gibbs and I. When everybody is out of the studio I lock the doors and jump into the car with Jontavion and Karina. Vinny jumps onto his scooter and waves before taking off. "Did DJ come out?" i ask Jontavion. "Nah he's staying behind to work on some new beats. He'll lock up when he's done." I nod and then reach for my phone. I text Mikey and ask him what i should wear tomorrow. He responds almost immediately and tells me to dress casual. I smile and respond with some smiling emojis and put my phone back in my bag. We haven't been in the car for less than three minutes before Katrina starts whining to Jontavion about how her mom wont let her hang out with him at his moms house tonight. "You weren' invited anyway." is the last thing i hear him say to her.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know is I'm being shaken awake. "Hey wake up. I don't pay you to sleep." I hear Jontavion say as I open my eyes. I run my hand over my face and shake my head. "Sorry I must have been more tired than I thought." He smiles and shakes his head. "Its okay. Come on we had to stop at my place before heading to my moms." I climb out of the car and take in my surroundings. Theres a apartment complex surrounded by trees and lots of flowers. The building over looked the street and city. "You stay here?" I ask intrigued by the beauty of the building and its surrounding pieces. He smiles at me and drapes a arm around my shoulders.
"This is my life, this is me." he says while staring at me. The building suddenly lights up with beautiful colors that add to the scenic vibe of the building. Cheers erupt from the building and look at Jontavion. "Its the 25th anniversary party tonight for the building manager." He leads me inside and its even more beautiful inside, the walls are covered in bright green ivy and pink flowers. I look around and see all the people who are happy to be here celebrating 25 years for somebody they've grown to love over the years. "I'm so glad you made it Jon." a loud man says from across the room. "Cuba this is Jordan. He lives down the hall from me." A smile forms on my lips as i shake hands with Jordan. He's tall and has the most beautiful caramel skin with honey colored eyes. "Nice to meet you beautiful." he says to me. I nod at him and say "Right back at you."

"Jordan don't lose her. I'll be right back." Jontavion whispers in my ear, "Behave yourself." and then rushes off to catch the elevator. Quite some time goes by before i realized i had a pink moscatto in my hand. A beautiful woman with bright red hair walks up to me. "Hey sugar, I'm Blossom. Whats your name?" I take in her tight black dress and sprarkly high heels and realize that shes just the kind of woman Jontavion would like. "I'm Cuba." i shake her hand and she asks me how I know Jontavion. We talk for like 15 minutes before Jontavion returns. By then ive had four pink moscattos and Blossom invited me to brunch.
"Cuba, are you ready to go?" he asks as he walks up to me. He places his hand at the small of my back and politely nods at Blossom. I nod and he leads me to the car. "What did she say to you?" he demands as soon as the car door is closed. I'm taken aback because Jontavion has never used such a harsh tone with me, plus the moscattos were starting to kick in. "She just invited me out for brunch on saturday." I say with a attitude. "Remind me why you have me joing you at your mothers instead of your girlfriend?" he snaps his head to me and raises a brow. "Dont ask me any questions about why i do what i do. I pay you and thats it so just sit back and be quiet." I huff and sit back. 'I wish i was out with Mikey', I think to myself.

As we pull up to Ms. Janis house I feel myself lose my attitude and perk up because its been a while since I've seen her. As soon as the car stops Jontavion gets out and slams the door in my face. I sit back and wonder what is his deal because I could have went home and handled my own business. I roll my eyes and get out of the car. I make my way inside the beautiful mini mansion. The floor is a beautiful grey tile with white washed walls connecting to them. I find my way to the kitchen and i see Ms. Janis pulling muffins out of the oven. "Hello Ms. Janis." I say and she smiles so big. "Hey baby, its been a long time since I saw your pretty face." I hug her and we dive into conversation as she pours me a cup of white wine.
I can't contain my laughter as she tells me about her trip to Greece last year. "The man steering the boat had a crab on his big toe." she says while wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. We hear someone clear their throat and we turn to see Jontavion standing there with Katrina on his hip. "Hey momma." he says. Ms. Janis looks at me then at her son and goes to hug him. "And who would this lovely lady be?" she asks and I cant help myself as I let out a snort. Ms. Janis winks at me and turns back to Katrina. "I'm Katrina, you're even more beautiful then your pictures." she says sweetly. Ms. Janis smiles and leads them to the dining room. She comes back into the kitchen and asks me to help her bring the food to the dining room. I happily agree and we move everything to the table.

As we are eating Ms. Janis keeps the conversation going so things aren't awkward at all. She Even gave me another cup of wine. I was already tipsy from the moscatos I had with Blossom. When dinner was over Jontavion and Katrina went upstairs. I stayed for a half an hour helping Ms. Janis clean the kitchen and dining room. "I actually enjoyed tonight." I tell her before I leave. She kisses my cheek and waves me off. As i stepped out of the house i could hear loud moans coming out of a window upstairs. I shake my head and step into my cab and head home. As soon as i get home i sit on the couch and rub my head. Today was too confusing to process right now. I turn on my tv but end up falling asleep as soon i turn on Youtube.
