Chapter 52- Trouble
I looked at her with shocked eyes as my heart squeezed in my chest, I was about to ask her what she meant when she walked up to me and a slap landed on the back of my head.
" Ouch," I groaned as I looked at her.
" What was that for?" I asked, rubbing the back of my head.
" That's to shake your brain from all the negative thoughts that have been filling them. How could you be thinking all those things, how dare you think I'm ashamed of you? Do you know how jealous I get when I see a woman staring at you and all I want to do is pull you down and kiss you in front of her so she'd know she is stepping on the wrong territory, an already claimed territory, how dare you think all those things?" Her hand was about to go for my head again but I held it and pulled her close as she landed on my chest.
" So you get jealous, hmm?" I swear I'll start looking carefully for when next we are near any woman that looks like she's trying to make a move on me, I want to see what her jealous reaction looks like.
" Is that all you heard from all I just said?" She asked as she looked into my eyes.
" Nope, but that's the only one that matters to my ears and heart," I said,
" I hate when we argue, I don't like that you think all those things, on a serious note, I wish that we were just normal couples, sometimes I even think of quitting the job,"
" Hey, don't think that, I want you by my side, both as my girlfriend and secretary, you make things so easy for me and I like that I see your face before walking into my office, you make my day quite productive,"
" Yeah, yeah, let me go now, I've got work to finish," She said as I bent to kiss her on her neck before letting her go.
" I'm ordering something for you to eat, your stomach is empty," I said as she walked to the door, she stopped and turned to me with a charming smile and I felt like my heart would melt.
" Thanks, babe" Then she was out the door.
I quickly finished up everything I needed to do at the office because I had to take Anna shopping somewhere.
I picked up my phone to call her so she could start getting ready,
" Yes sir," She answered and I could tell she was smiling,
" Get ready, we're going out," I said to her. I knew she was going to start asking me where so I ended the call with a laugh but just as I dropped my phone a message popped up.
What did she want to ask me? I already told her we were going out, but as I picked up the phone the message wasn't from Anna, it was from one of my ex fling telling me she was on her way up.
Shit!
I'd have to talk to my receptionist, how could she let just any woman up my floor without confirming if they had an appointment? Yeah, I know, that was before I met Anna, women like her used to come up to my office, some were business partners others were, well you know.
Now they were all coming to my office when I had a beautiful girlfriend. This was me paying for my sins, one of these days I hope I don't get into trouble.
I quickly got up from my chair and rushed to the door, opened the door, and quickly walked to the elevator. I plan on sending her right back just as she steps out of the elevator.
I stood at the elevator waiting for her to reach but I wasn't a lucky man in avoiding trouble.
" Cole, are you waiting for someone?" I heard Anna ask and I turned to her to see that she had a smile on her face, shit, if I get into trouble I wouldn't be seeing that smile. How do I get out of this? She'd think I was still having something with her.
No, I know she wouldn't think that but I didn't want that woman here.
The elevator door opened and I felt like my heart would fall out of my chest as I slowly turned to the elevator. I instantly did a double look at the person walking out of the door. Not who I expected to see but right now he was better than who I expected would walk out of the elevator.
" What are you doing here?" I asked him, he just shrugged as he turned to Anna with a broad smile.
" Milady, I've missed you," He said and was about to walk to her but I held him by the neck and started dragging him to my office. I turned to Anna warning her with my eyes not to come anywhere near my office.
I opened my office door and pushed him inside, then I entered and closed the door.
" Didn't they teach you to be nice, especially to your family?" He asked as he rubbed his neck.
" Why are you here?" I asked again.
" I'm not here to see you?" He said and I narrowed my eyes on him. I swear if I see him near her, I'll kick him in the balls.
" I'm the only one you would come up here to see, otherwise I don't think anyone would tolerate your shenanigans," I said,
" Well, Anna would, isn't she just so cute?" Calm down Cole, he's your cousin you wouldn't want to kill him, take deep breaths, and try practicing control.
" Stop bothering my secretary, she's working, don't disturb her," I said calmly when all I wanted right now was to hold him by the neck and drag him out of here.
" I'm not bothering her, she seems like a really nice girl, I might ask her to be my date for the ball," I choked on my own saliva at the stupid words he just uttered from his mouth as I started coughing.
" Are you okay brother? Should I get you water?" He asked
" I'm fine," But you wouldn't be if you don't stay away from my girlfriend.
" You do know Anna…" I didn't get to finish what I wanted to say when I heard Anna's voice shouting at someone.
" I said you can't see him without an appointment! That's the rule,"
I quickly stood up from my chair and rushed to the door. As soon as I opened the door I almost peed my pants.
She looked so fucking furious.
Fuck, I'm in trouble.
