Fighting For Love

Chapter 32 Part 2

Niamha froze. Did this nigga just say they were partners?! What the hell does that even mean? She could feel her anger start to rise as she thought about all the possible partners that they could possibly be. She stepped away from Landon and looked into his face; he still held his unreadable expression, she couldn't get any hint of emotion that would say that Micah was lying about what he just said and the one thing that she feared the most would become turn. She slowly turned and looked over at Micah, he looked like he was about to burst from laughter as he looked back at her murderous expression. His giggles ran over and he started to die of laughter. He was laughing so hard he fell to the floor with tears in his eyes while clutching his stomach and gasping for air. He didn't realize that Niamha had stalked over to him until it was too late and she roughly grabbed him and placed a firm slap on his cheek. He looked shocked to say the least. His eyes widened like saucers and he placed a hand to his face. He was still looking at her like she had grown six heads in the past two seconds. His eyes blazed business mood and he almost forgot who his was dealing with when he jumped up off the floor and rolled up on her. That was until Landon snatched him back and squared him up. Niamha watched as the two of them had an intense conversation with their eyes and every now and then she saw the dragon on Landon's neck move as he got angry at something Micah said. She thought it was over but then she heard Landon speak real low.

"Don't get yourself messed up by placing a hand on her." He backed up and went over into an office that was off the work area they were currently in. It wasn't until she swept the room that she realized that their little standoff had gone unseen, because all the people that were in here before had cleared out. Niamha let her eyes rest on Micah and saw that he was already looking at her having an internal battle with himself before it dispersed and his heart stopping smile broke out on his face. He opened his arms once again and Niamha hesitantly walked into them and accepted his hug. When she stepped out Micah stopped her and looked her dead in her eyes.

"We're business partners, Niamha." He released her and walked into the office door that Landon went into, leaving her standing there with a grin on her face as she did a little happy dance that neither her past love nor her current love were involved. She didn't know if she could deal with that Broke Back Mountain shit if it were true. She shook her head and walked into the office behind the two of them and shut the door. She allowed her eyes to adjust to the limited lighting and saw that Landon was sitting on a couch in the farthest corner from the door and Micah was sitting in a big boss leather chair behind a cherry oak wood desk. She moved her feet and went and sat next to Landon; molding herself into him and bringing his arm around her shoulders. She laced their hands together while her others began to trace idly on his thigh. The three of them sat in silence for a long period of time, before Micah let out a frustrated sigh. Both Landon and Niamha seemed to be shaken out of their thoughts from his actions and turned their attention towards him.

"Why are we sitting here avoiding the pending question?"

Niamha allowed the confusion that ran threw her body to cross her face as she looked from Landon to Micah then back to Landon.

"What pending question?"

Neither of them answered her question and she let out a dramatic sigh.

"Is someone going to answer me dammit?!?!" She rose from her seat and placed her hands on her hips. Both fellas new she meant business now and yet neither of them wanted to present the obvious.

Niamha was about to smack the shit out of someone if they didn't tell her what the hell was going on!! As she started walking towards Micah she heard Landon ask behind her softly.

"Is this the same Micah that you were telling me about last night?"

Niamha almost caught whiplash as she spun around to face Landon he wasn't looking at her yet towards e curtain covered window. She started to piece together what exactly was going on and she knew she should slap herself for not seeing this sooner. She realized now why Landon was acting the way he was when we first got here. She couldn't bring herself to move towards him, so she stayed where she was standing and answered his question.
