Loves Deception

Chapter 35

Xavier had just gotten out of the shower after his weekend workout and was getting dressed to head to the office when he heard the doorbell. He threw on a wife beater and a pair of shorts and bounded down the stairs. He was in no mood to entertain anyone today. He'd been in a funk all week. Layla hadn’t returned any of his messages and when he did speak with her it was brief and emotionless. He thought about hopping on a flight several times but he vowed that they would take things slow, and he had to give her space. Fuck that! Wasn’t her being in another state space enough He thought frowning as he flung the door open. He suppressed the urge to slam the door in her face.

“Good Afternoon Jessica. I was under the impression that I would be meeting with the board of director’s at the school this evening.” He growled. She stood there in a tight coat and high heels feigning ignorance. “Hello Xavier. May I come in?” she asked easing closer. He took a step back so he wouldn’t come into contact with her body and she took that as a yes. She stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind her. “Jessica, Now is not a good time. I was headed to my office. That’s why I made the appointment with your office for this evening” He stressed again, biting down his annoyance. “Well I won’t take up too much of your time. I was just in the neighborhood and I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. I have some paperwork for you to look over and sign. It’ll only take a moment. Besides, I missed you at last month’s fundraiser ball for the Boys’ Academy and I thought I could fill you in on the school’s progress. Seeming as you are one of the top contributors.” She smiled coyly. He suppressed an eyeroll. “Yes, I was preoccupied at the time but I receive weekly updates from the principal. I have no complaints so far.” He said forcing a grin. She slidled up on him. “Mm, but I missed you anyway.” She pouted sexily while pulling her coat off, revealing a low cut blouse barely concealing her perky breasts and a tight skirt that exposed her slim thighs.

Xavier sighed and turned away from her. He had thought that when the wedding was over he would never see her again, but that wasn’t so. He had always wanted to help the Boy’s Academy School in the inner city so when he stopped in one day to offer a donation he was shocked to see her. She was one of the executive assistants to the head of the school. He'd thought she would of had a full time job shopping or something. He knew from her previous advances that she wanted him and he'd almost hauled ass once he spotted her, but he couldn’t let her deter him from a good deed. Problem was she made it her business to deal with him directly, propositioning him every chance she got. That’s why he never dealt with her alone. Her showing up at his house wasn't really a surprise but he knew he needed to sign the consent forms for the monthly withdrawals from his bank account.

“Have a seat Jessica. Like I said I don’t have much time so I need to run upstairs and change for work and make a couple of phone calls. Just have the forms on the table and ready to sign when I come down. Then you can be on your way.” He pointed her towards the living room and jogged up the stairs.

Jessica glanced at her watch. It was almost two o'clock. “Where is that cow!” she murmured anxiously. She had to time this just right. She had called Naomi around noon and struck up a conversation with her. She casually asked about Layla and Naomi mentioned that she had just made it back in town. She knew from the conversation she overheard that night that she would be coming straight to see Xavier, so she had rushed over immediately and eased her way inside. Now it was time to put her plan into action. She slipped off her shoes, unbuttoned her blouse, rumpled her skirt and tousled her hair. She was trying for the "just had wild sex" look. She smudged her lipstick, tossed the pillows off the couch and lie back, waiting. Luckily, several minutes later she heard the front door opening. She frowned. She thought she would have to open the door for her but the cow had a key to his place. She seethed with jealousy. She smirked and hoisted her bra up and opened her shirt a little more. She lie back on the couch and hiked her skirt up exposing more of her thighs. She heard the door close and yelled only loud enough for Layla to hear. “Xav, baby hurry back down, I’m ready for round two!” She giggled.
