Red Room

Untitled Part 17

Jamison paced his office in a fury. It had been two days since the Gala and when he saw the story in the paper this morning, he was livid. His story was in the paper just as Felicity had promised, but what made his blood boil was the story next to it.

We are pleased to announce the engagement of Oliver Jonas Queen to Felicity Megan Smoak

He continued to pace as his eyes looked toward the paper and then back out the window. Dammit! He wanted nothing more than misery for Queen, but his plan was not working. Helena had failed to catch Oliver's eye again and Felicity had pretty much made it clear to him that she was not interested. Now, they were engaged to be married and the fact that their announcement ran alongside his business story infuriated him.

He was waiting for Helena to arrive and when the door opened he looked up with fury in his eyes. "It's about......" He did not finish his sentence because the woman standing in the doorway was not Helena it was Cindy.

"Cindy, hi, sorry. I thought you were someone else." He tried to push away his anger for the moment. "What are you doing here?"

"Hi Jamison, I...I just wanted to come by and talk for a minute. Have you seen the paper this morning? Particularly the society page?"

Jamison nodded and pointed to the paper on his desk, "I was just reading it. Interesting news, wouldn't you say?"

Cindy pushed her long blonde hair behind her ear. God he was so handsome. He still made her heart pound.

"Her engagement must have come as a shock to you." She gave him a sympathetic look, letting her hand linger around her neckline. She hoped that he would notice the blouse she had worn just for him. It was bright red silk with a low-cut neckline and paired with her black skirt and heels she prayed that he noticed her again. She had painted her lips a ruby red and they held a hint of a smile as she watched him.

"It did but I am coping. What are you really doing here Cindy?" Jamison really did not have time for her today. She had been good in bed, but did he really want to go back down that road?

She gave him a seductive look and then sauntered closer to his desk. "I just thought you might want a distraction. I miss you."

Jamison sat back in his chair and let his eyes roam over her again. Yes, she was beautiful, quite beautiful. Maybe he could give her one night. However, he would make it clear to her that one night was all it was. He stood and walked around his desk and when he was standing in front of her, he let his fingers glide along the seam of her top and down between her cleavage.

Cindy shivered as she felt his touch and met his gaze, her eyes conveyed her desire for him and she held her breath, waiting for him to speak.

"A distraction hu? Well that could be fun." He pulled her closer by sliding his hand up and around her neck. Her lips parted in anticipation, her breathing shallow and he lightly traced his lips over hers.

"Meet me at my apartment tonight at 8:00 p.m."

She smiled brightly and then he said, "But understand Cindy this is just for one night."

Her smile faltered slightly, and she nodded. "I understand." Oh, she did understand, but she hoped that by him giving her tonight that she could convince him to see her again and again.

She leaned up and pressed her ruby red lips to his and then pulled back and walked to the door. "See you tonight."

She walked out, and Jamison rounded his desk still frustrated. Cindy would be good for working out his frustration, but something needed to be done about Queen and soon. He glanced at his watch noting that Helena was late, and he picked up his phone and called her number. It went straight to voicemail and he slammed his phone down with force. Where the hell was she?
