HEALED ME

chapter Twenty One

Benjamin P.O.V

It now 3months since Josie started working for Matt,and I am glad I got my best friend back. Josie has been of much help and has managed to penetrate Matt's walls. I don't know how she did it but my friend just can't get her out of his head. All he talks about his Josie and how she is good with the children.

"Hey man, can we go for lunch now am starving",I said as I  entered Matthew's office.

"You foodie,anyway let me finish up and we can go",Matthew replies.

We go to a restaurant 10minutes away from our office building. We talk over lunch about business and  I decide its time I talk about Matt and Josie. I mean its clear they both like each other.

"So Matt,what do you think about Josie?",I asked as i took a sip of my pina colada.

"Not again,what about her?",Matt replied trying to sound irritated but his voice held excitement. I decide to tease him.

"I mean,she is beautiful,hot,sexy and......",I was cut off by Matt.

"Don't you think about her like that",He whisper yelled.

"I mean I cant help it. She stays with you but you don't seem to be interested. I on the other hand wish i could have her. Make love to her in every corner of my house,kiss her plump lips,have my ton.....,"I teased him more.

"If you don't stop thinking about my woman naked, trust me I won't regret having my knuckles day your nose",he yelled totally angry or lets say possessive.

"See see see, that's what I wanted to hear from you. Claiming her as your own,not wanting any other person to think about her",I said laughing as embarrassment flashed on my best friend's face making him turn all red.

" I..uhh...he... I didn't say I loved her",he said trying to hide the embarrassment and at the same time annoyed that he had manifested his feelings.

"And besides,she doesn't think of me that way",he defended.

"I have seen how both of you look at each other. I know she likes you",I said digging into my meal.

"I don't know man,but we shall see",he sighed. "I can't believe you were going to break my nose yet you know I don't do commitment",I chuckled.

"When it comes to Josie,I will castrate you",he fake threatened. We laughed and continued with our lunch discussing business.

We finished work at around 5:30pm and as usual,Matthew had to rush home.

"Don't make love too much and forget that we have a client dinner to attend tomorrow which you have to prepare for",I called out to Matt who turned, nodded and showed me the finger before rushing to the elevator.

I  chuckled then I was smacked by Lynda for using the 'bad words' infront of her children she had come with to work. I apologised and also prepared to head home,freshen up and hook up with some hottie to warm my bed for the night.

Lynda P.O.V

Matthew has been a happy man for the last 3months since Josie started working for him. I know its not because he is relieved of the burden of taking care of his kids,he is in love with her. She also likes him. I have seen how they look at each other.  Hopefully they get together soon.

"Lynda may you please come to my office?",Matt calls. I straighten my skirt and enter his office.

"How can I help you Matt?",I ask.

"You know the dinner we tonight",he says as I nod.

"uhm.. I want to take Josie as my date but....",I cut him off as I squeal like a teenager. He gives me a look that makes me shut up immediately though he can't take off the smile on my face.

"But I haven't asked her. I want to surprise her",he added trying to hide his nervousness.

"You worried she may refuse?",I ask knowingly and he nods.

"I mean she is a simple girl,I don't know how she will respond to a last minute invite to a lavish dinner",he says standing and pacing around his office.

"Don't worry,she won't reject your request. Don't ask me how I know,I just know",I told him pulling him in for a hug to calm his nerves.

"I trust you. So can you please help me pick out a dress,shoes and jewelry for her. I will write a card to put in the box",he said excitedly. That is the Matthew I know.

"And the children?",I asked almost abruptly.

"They are catered for no worries",he replied.

I nod and leave his office to attend to my assigned task.

I send Martinez with the dress and head home to get ready myself. I can't wait to see those love birds at the dinner. I am sure every lady will envy her. The Matthew I know is possessive and won't hide that she is his.

I prepare dinner for my children as I wait for the baby sitter since I will attend dinner with my husband.

My husband gets home from work,we both get ready,give last minute instructions to the baby sitter and the children mostly and head out.

I chose to wear a black body hugging dress,with a few silver stones around the Bossom,very light makeup with silver shoes and purse. My husband wore a black tux and I admit if we were not late,I would devour him.
