Jacob: "Lisa, Lisa, Lisa..." [He smiled]

Lisa: [She smiled back] "Jacob... How can I help? How's life been treating you, since the last time we spoke, anything new?"

Jacob: [He sighs] "Well uhh... I've actually made a few acquaintances well uh friends I think. I guess"

Lisa: "Yeah?" [She smiled]

Jacob: [He nods] "Yeah uh one is named Lucky. He's real cool as far as I know. He ain't mistreated me and uh yeah he's a cool dude. Then there's this girl, Paris..."

Lisa: "I've heard you mention her name before. Is that not the popular girl..."

Jacob: "Yeah that's her. Well uh long story short I ended up at her apartment last week cause I made out with her friend but being there, we talked. We talked and we clicked and like I enjoyed talkin to her. She was real cool but uhh... it's not the first time we've talked. We've talked but those were like doses of the time you feel me. It wasn't like this time. This time the conversation was genuine and it flowed. We could've stayed talking for ages but er her friend kinda screwed things up"

Lisa: "Sounds like you really admire this Paris girl"

Jacob: "Yeahh... I mean she's a real girl to talk to. Not like these other loud ass girlies who think they all that yk. She's a real girl and she ain't afraid to be who she is but then she's been dealing with these boys... The same dudes I've been having issues with. I've told you about them"

Lisa: "Right! The Maurice guy and his lot?"

Jacob: "Yeah that's them and er I've had my few head to head confrontations and those didn't turn out well. But in the end he made a deal and I couldn't turn it down. It was more less a bet that I beat him one on one, for him to stop harassing me alla time. And I won the bet which is good but I hope dude sticks to his word"

Lisa: "Okay so a little drama, here and there but nothing that hasn't or isn't going to be solved"

Jacob: "Yeah..."

Lisa: "So what about you and your mom? How's that going for you?"

Jacob: "Want me to be honest?... I really don't know. I mean I barely see her. If anything it's gotten worse, it's like her boss is forcing her to do more hours on purpose idk. It makes me wanna go down to her workplace and give him a piece of my mind"

Lisa: "You really are your mommas hero Jacob"

Jacob: "It's just she has a life too yk. She doesn't deserve to work the hours and shifts she does. She's a women, and women are the ones who need more protecting in a world like this. Need to be more lenient when they're my mommas age"

Lisa: [She nodded giving him an admiring look] "I understand why that can be tough on you Jacob. I know her job is important but why don't you do something special for at least one night. Prove to her what is more important and that you're still her priority"

Jacob: "How? I mean I can only get in a few words, and that's if I'm lucky"

Lisa: "Well if you tell her it's important and plead for her to listen I assume she'll listen to you, unless she has lost touch of what is important in her life and that's her thoughtful, loving son"

Jacob: [He nods and sighs]

Lisa: "Look... Jacob just test out the waters. If I know your mom and what you've told me about her, she would listen to you. Because she loves you"

Jacob: [He looks at her, daringly and then chuckles]

Lisa: [She smiles] "What?"

Jacob: "Nun it's just... I look at you. And you sit over there... behind that desk all day to help me or people like me... All day?"

Lisa: "Well when you're doing my job for at least 8 years you get the hang of it. Especially when it's a passion of yours to help others"

Jacob: "Yeah but what about you?"

Lisa: "What about me?" [She smirked]

Jacob: "Everybody has issues right? [He gets up and walks behind Lisa's desk as Lisa wheels back in her chair]

Lisa: "Jacob you can't come behind here"

Jacob: "So... [He smiles] I assume you got problems of your own... [As he goes up behind Lisa and leans over her, head level beside her ear] but who's helping you" [He whispers]

Lisa: [Her chest is rising fast] "I deal with my own issues. I mastered that"

Jacob: "But everybody needs help right? Advice, direction, some sort... [He breathes in her ear as she closes her eyes breathing heavy. She gets shaky in her chair] What if I told you... it's my passion to help others too? [He slowly motions his hands over to her shoulders]

Lisa: [She seals her lips and stood right up. Facing him] "Jacob you need to stop!"

Jacob: "What? I just wanna help... [As he walks closer to her up pushing the chair out the way and backs her up into her own desk til there's no more room. He looks down into her eyes, lips are inches apart. He grabs her face and slowly kisses her cheek]

Lisa's heart is racing and she closes her eyes as Jacob slowly lets go the kiss on her cheek. He looks back at her as Lisa looks back at him, lost in his eyes. She snaps right back out of it...

Lisa: "Right! Session is over! I've got another appointment soon, so you have to leave quick, Jacob. Like right now!"

Jacob: [He chuckles] "Alright, I'm leaving" [He walks to the door as Lisa exhales deeply releasing all that tension and trying to keep all her composure] "Thanks for your time, Lisa. I'll be back for our next appointment" [He smiles back at her and then leaves her room]

Lisa stood there frozen. She exhales deeply again holding her forehead, trying to keep herself busy...

Jacob's POV
😭😭... I'm in my room. Listening to music. Now look, I'm not a creep. I just... Lisa has been there since I was down and I'm not saying it as in like you know girlfriend type shit but she's the only reason why I have the confidence I have today. She's the reason I'm the man Iam today and I know that's her job to mentor me but some part of me thinks she genuinely cares about me. The way she talks about me, to me and empowers me. Whether it's about my looks, my career, my family. It drives me and that's what I need in my life. Security and a real women and she's that. I'm not saying she's the one but I'm also not saying she isn't either. I also never intended to make her nervous the way I did, I think it's just since I'm a grown dude, my testosterone really be having an effect on women. And I'm not even trying, I'm just being myself so imagine how it be if I was to try😂 Man I couldn't even imagine... but boy is she ideal man. Damn!... if I could picture her right know it would be this

 if I could picture her right know it would be this

Now y'all can't tell me she ain't beautiful. And I know she probably in her 30s or sum but she's a beautiful woman, and... she's sexy too. I just can't resist like that, that's like me doing the impossible
