Who's Going To Take The L - DRAFT COPY NOT EDITED

Chapter - 12 - The Fake Girl Talk

I enter the room with my head held high. The energy that is coming off me is good, I feel confident and that even though she's a big supermodel there's not a chance I'm going to let her bring me down, well not for a second time. There's a big white table in the middle of the room surrounded by about 12 chairs. Gabriel is sitting opposite Sienna, her arm is stretched out on the table trying to cunningly get contact with Gabriel's arm. It looks kind of desperate almost making me feel less bad about myself. I walk up to Gabriel's side and shake her hand whilst politely introducing myself. I take a sit by Gabriel's side and hand out the small presentation that I put together in record time, hoping this would at least leave a good impression.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Angel, your much pretty then I thought you would be" I guess Sienna just confirmed a lot of things, all in one sentence as well. "Thank you I guess, but I'm sure you know you're also very pretty, you know being a supermodel and all" Yes I just need to seem like I'm polite, she'll most probably think it's a nice compliment but in reality, I never said I think she's pretty. She should let up on the photoshopping though, gosh her pictures are such a huge deception. "Yes, loads of people tend to find me very pretty. Especially the men they can't help it, some even forget about their relationship. I'm sure you've had your own experience of this though." Sienna sweetly points out adding a little laugh at the end, almost making it sound like we're having girl chat. "Yes well you know how guys are, they want a trophy wife and a real wife. It's sad because they honestly just don't know how to hold on to a good one. I'm sure you've had your own experience of this as well" Yes girl, I can do it too. "No, I can't relate to that. The only man that seems to give me trouble is Gabriel, no matter what I do I can't get him to want me. No girl can." She says the last part looking deeply into Gabriel's eye. I don't know if she thinks it's a sexy look but I guess we all have different ideas of what sexy is.

I got an idea, I don't know if it's a good idea but it's an idea. Now normally I wouldn't stoop so low but there's something about her besides the fact that she stole my man, I'm finding it hard to find anything remarkable good about her. This idea involves Gabriel, yes I know that's never a good idea but clearly, Gabriel is her weak point. No matter how sexy she tries to be he's not interested, now call me a bit vain but I'm sure I can get Gabriel's attention in only a matter of seconds. I look over at Gabriel's and he's already got his eyes on me, I think they've been on me this whole time but I'm focusing on Sienna right now she's my opponent. I offer to make everyone a tea or coffee, I wasn't going to do this I didn't want to serve Sienna it feels like that's giving her more power. Power that she doesn't deserve.

As I making the drinks, I unbutton one of the buttons on my work shirt. I feel like I'm channeling my inner Layla. I put the drinks on the tray and some sugar sachets then bring it back over to them. As I put Gabriel drink down I bend down very slowly and slightly lower just low enough to show off the right amount of cleavage. Yes, he buys it, he can't take his eyes off them. Sorry miss a cup, he likes girls with shape. That flat chest only looks good on the runway. I turn to her and put the tray on the table giving her a chance to take her drink. As I go to pick back up the tray I 'accidentally' knock off one of the sugar sachets, making sure that my back is facing Gabriel I once again slowly bend down to pick up the sachet not forgetting to give a little wiggle to the hip making the back of my skirt ride up just a little bit. I know what your thinking, I'm like a pro. Erm no, I just went for the easiest trick in the book, he's either a breast or a leg and bum man, I really couldn't go wrong.

I go back to my desk and instead of pretending to get along, I go straight into what I think the theme should be. I bring up how much I think she should stay away from white do something different and spontaneous just like a catwalk. I think my pitch is perfect with the dark themes and the multicolor neon flower things that would hang from the ceiling to bring light and character. I thought she was going to play the petty card but she seemed kind of into it. "I like this idea, I must say it does sound a lot like my ex, sorry I mean our ex. I can see how you two would have worked well together." Oh no she didn't, but Angel she did. I see she doesn't like the fact that Gabriel still hasn't taken his eyes off me. He even looked a little shocked and mostly impressed when I explained the theme and why I went with it. "Yes I did speak with James, he seems to know you well enough. He even knows your favorite pose you know the one where your on your back with your legs opening. I think as a supermodel you could find a more exciting pose. Might help your career more." Yes and we're back to the fake girl talk. As the meeting is ending I do the move she tried to pull when I first entered the room and slyly brushes my hand over Gabriels. I move it just as fast making it seem like an accident. Of course, there's also a petty smile on my face.

We leave the meeting room and Gabriel walks her to the lift asking his private receptionist to show her down. We smile at each other both giving a secret bring it on look. It's the start of a war, Gabriel doesn't clock on being a man and all but I do see the private receptionist eyes going back and forth catching on to the silent war cries going on in our heads.

I sense something off with Gabriel when we enter the office. He quietly slams the door behind him which leaves me so confused, is he mad or not. Maybe I took it too far in the meeting room. I don't know what possessed me, maybe Layla. The embarrassment is finally hitting me and hard. I turn around ready to apologize to Gabriel to find him right behind me. "Miss White, I see your button is still undone. Let me help you do it back up since Sienna is no longer here to make jealous." He doesn't sound happy not one bit. I didn't think he would catch on but who was I kidding, how could he not notice any other time I'm trying to find ways to push him off me. "I can explain.." "Explain what how you used me, or how the first time you make a move is to make another female jealous" He grabs my shirt collar a little bit too rough. I try to pull back but he just pulls me in even closer. He slowly removes one hand and it looks like he's going to touch my breast, but instead, he does up my button. "My PA needs to be a sophisticated young lady. Why wear a shirt if you're not going to do up the buttons." Yeah say all you want now Gabriel but we all know he enjoyed the show. Maybe a little too much hence all the frustrations.

We've been standing in this position for a good five minutes now. "Gabriel please feel free to let me go anytime now." Yes, he also still has his hands on me I'm guessing that it was a really bad idea and now I'm regretting it. "Well, it's a good thing I don't do free then, right Miss White?" A good thing for who? I must admit it's the tiniest bit nice being in Gabriel's arm. Sue me I'm getting used to all the touching. This is the most action I've been getting since James come on. A girl has to get something.

"So how did you find my theme idea?" Yes, we're still embracing each other and weirdly enough I don't think he plans on letting go anytime soon. I mainly believe this is because I told him to and he doesn't want to give in again. "If I honest it was really good, you impressed me I see your not just a pretty face who's trying to sleep with the boss." I see still so full of himself. " You couldn't just give the compliment and had to add your two cents, Now you're going to remove your hands from me or risk getting them broken." Boss or not, I don't care. "Miss White once again you're gone into your sexy bossy mode, you've been a big tease today. Should have known from when I saw that little grey skirt on you." I've made up my mind this is the first and last time I involve Gabriel into one of my ideas. Luckily he does finally remove me from his embrace, it does feel a little bit lonely without him but he will never know.

"I'm afraid, once again I don't have good news for you..." Why Gabriel does this little pause thing I don't know but it's annoying. There's no need to heighten the anticipation of what he next has to tell me. I mean how much worse can it get. The first client I had to deal with was the one woman I never wanted to meet. "James will be attending the event with his father." Only Gabriel I see where you were going with the pause now. I'm going to kill him. To deal with both of them in one space, maybe I just plan the event and don't have to attend. "And yes you do have to attend the event, don't forget you're also my PA. Make sure you find a nice dress, maybe go to that shopping center with Layla again." How did he know I went shopping with Layla, I never told him that.
