Possessive Love {Editing}

Chapter 26

Aliyah's Pov

"This place is really beautiful" I said to Jerome as we walked into the elevator

"I told you made a right decision in coming" He said smiling

"I can't believe you work there" I said referring to the building we just left

"Well there's always a hoping spot if you want to work here" he smirked

"So your willing to offer me a job in a field I know nothing about" I questioned raising an eyebrow

"Well you do have all the qualifications and I could train you" He smirked

"Can't have a regular conversation without being dirty" I said shaking my head laughing a little

"I can't help it" He winked and the elevator door opened 

"Alright lovebirds, you done" His assistant Demetria teases causing me to roll my eyes

"You've been here for almost two days and we haven't went out yet and god knows I need a drink" She laughed. Jerome chuckled looking over to her with a smile on his face. I know he likes her, but he will never admit it. I mean she practically lives with him, but he claims its because she's his 'personal assistant'. 

"Yeah I could go for a drink" Jerome nodded still smiling at her. I roll my eyes and elbowed him the the side making him clear his throat nervously.

"Alright, Its settled then. We'll meet in the lobby in a hour" Demetria said and I nodded

I when I get back to my room I took a shower and straightened my hair. I check the time to make sure I'm not running late. I stand up looking at myself in the mirror, I wore a outfit similar to the one I wore on the first date I had with August. I sighed as memories of the date flooded my mind. I shook my head went a thought of August came to mind. You came here to get away from him remember. I said to my self and slip my nude stiletto heels on. I grab my phone and my clutch purse before leaving my room.

On the elevator ride down to the lobby, I text Alex to tell her I'm in California since I forgot to call her when I actually got here. I missed her. She was supposed to come with me on the trip, but she had a family emergency and had to stay back. I hated the fact that I had no friends here, I mean I have Jerome and Demetria, but its not the same. When Jerome isn't messing with me he's making googly eyes at Demi.

When I got off the elevator I saw Jerome standing near the door. He was wearing black dress pants and a white shirt with some of the buttons undone. I admired how handsome he looked as I walked over to him. He turned around and his eyes go wide when he saw me. He cleared his throat and run his fingers through his wavy hair.

"Damn... You look nice" he said eyes traveling up and down my body

"Just nice" I asked raising my eyebrow

"Well I would  tell you what I'm think right now, but it would be a little inappropriate" He smirked
