Chapter 6
Mycah was going to be a big problem for me.
I was surprised to see her walking in the morning on the same route as me.
I was glad I did, though. I got to see her in her natural state, and she was just as pretty as she was at the interview.
She only had on leggings and a hoodie, but she really didn’t have to do anything special to get my dick hard.
I was instantly attracted to her. There was no way someone couldn’t be, but I wanted more time to get to know her as a person.
I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind.
I already knew I was playing with fire, but I was ready to let it burn.
I was pissed that I had so many meetings on her first day, because I wanted to be the one to welcome her to the team.
I wanted to show her the best place to get a quick lunch.
Hell, I wanted to be able to just look at her all day.
The dress she wore was modest, but still enough for me to want to see her in it again. I couldn’t believe how hard I was feeling her off a couple of interactions.
She shocked me with the gift card, and while I appreciated it, I used it to get us some donuts and coffee.
On my way to the station, I called my brother.
“Big bro, what’s up? I can already tell something is on your mind.”
I shook my head when Koda answered the phone. It was crazy how we were able to read each other without even saying a word.
“I think I’m about to fuck up.”
“Fuck up how?”
“This new assistant I got. She’s bad. Like a walking doll baby, and I haven’t been able to get her face out of my head since I first saw her.
She even spilled coffee on one of my shirts, and I didn’t care.
And check this. I told her we could walk our dogs together.
Bruh, her desk is literally outside of my office.
I already know I’m going to be staring at her half the day.
” I ran my free hand over my beard while the other gripped the wheel.
“Damn, you got it bad already. You know you have to move smart about this. This is why you needed another assistant in the first place,” Koda reminded me.
I already thought about the outcome if something happened between Mycah and me and it didn’t work out.
I didn’t want to keep looking for assistants.
After a while, they would start to think that I was the problem.
I didn’t sugarcoat shit, and it wasn’t my fault that homegirl didn’t know how to separate sex from work.
“I got it under control. I feel like she’s feeling me too.
I’ll see how she moves before I decide to take it there.
The summer bash is coming up, so maybe I can get her to help me with it.
That will give me time to be around her outside of work hours.
If we vibing and she knows how to separate work from the things that happen outside of it, then maybe we can do something.
I get the feeling that she isn’t a one-time thing either.
I might be speaking prematurely, but she seems like someone that I could build something for real with.
She’s not even from around here. I still need to find out what made her come here, though.
That could change things. Either way, I got this. ”
“I hear you. I have to get to the hotel. Let me know how today goes.”
“Heard you. Love you, little brother.”
Koda chuckled. “Love you too,” he said, then hung up.
I wasn’t sure if I truly had things under control, because my infatuation with Mycah wasn’t something I was used to. Maybe I felt the way I did because I had been single for a while. Mycah was like that shiny new toy, and I wanted to play with her. I just prayed I didn’t regret it.
When I arrived at work, I parked in my spot and grabbed the box of donuts and the coffees.
I prepared myself for the funny looks that I knew would come my way.
Sometimes I brought donuts for the staff, but I never brought anyone coffee.
This was new for me, and I hoped it didn’t make Mycah feel weird.
My chest expanded when I walked in and saw Mycah at her desk. I could tell her mind was elsewhere by the way she chewed the corner of her mouth. She didn’t even notice that I approached her desk.
“Good morning, Mycah.”
Her hand shot her to chest. “Oh, shoot. Kairo, you scared me.”
I placed the cups and donuts on the corner of her desk. Today she smelled like a field of flowers, but it wasn’t strong. Redness filled her cheeks as she glanced at the coffee and donuts.
“My bad, doll baby. I got you coffee and some donuts. The breakfast tacos from there are good, too, if those are your thing.”
She looked surprised, and she wasn’t the only one. I noticed Donna gave me a sideways glance when I walked past her.
“Oh, thank you. You didn’t have to do that. And I do like breakfast tacos.”
“Cool, and it’s no problem. I wasn’t sure what you like in your coffee, so I grabbed a few packets of sugar and some creamers. They had two different flavors, so I got a couple of each. Whatever you don’t use, I’ll put in the break room.”
I picked up one of the cups and passed it to her. She smiled at me as she grabbed it, then took the creamers she wanted from my hand along with some sugar.
“Did you need some?”
“Nah, I drink mine black.”
A cute little frown formed on her face, and her nose twitched. I had this urge to tap the tip of her nose, but I refrained. I would definitely be doing way too much, too fast.
“Um, are you a serial killer?” she questioned with disgust written all over her face.
I laughed loudly, and one of the officers looked in our direction.
“You crazy for that. No. All of that sugar and shit take away the potency of the caffeine to me. I drink coffee to stay awake. If I add all that other stuff, I’ll be at my desk dozing off. Trust me, it took a minute for me to get used to it. It’s not for everyone.”
She opened and lined up three creamers before she poured them into her cup. Then, she used three packs of sugar. I stored that information in the back of my mind in case I got her more coffee one day.
“You don’t have to worry about me trying it. I like my coffee light skinned.” She paused then pinned her eyes on me. “Caramel to be exact.”
I could have been tripping, but I was sure that Mycah flirted with me when she made that comment.
“Duly noted. There’s a couple of donuts in there for you too. It’s one of my favorites, and they could only be purchased around here. I figured I’d get you one to try, and then I got you a glazed one. Can’t go wrong with glazed.”
She opened the box, and her eyes lit up at the glazed donut. They always had the perfect amount of glaze on them.
“Glaze is my favorite. What’s this other one?” She lifted the other donut out of the box and examined it.
“It’s tiramisu. They only sell those at the donut shop you bumped into me at.” I smirked.
“You aren’t going to let me forget that, are you?”
I laughed, but it was cut off when she bit into the donut and moaned.
This fucking girl.
I didn’t think she even realized she did that. I wanted to call her out on it, but I had to discreetly adjust my dick.
“Kairo, this is so good.” She dragged out the word good, then took another bite.
“I’m glad you like it. I’ll leave you to it. Let me know if you need anything.”
She nodded as she continued to eat the donut. It was only her second day here, and I was already ready to cross hella boundaries. I had to get away from her before I did some shit that got me in trouble.
In my office, I sat down and watched Mycah for a few minutes while I sipped my coffee. Before I walked into creep status, I focused on the work I needed to do.
A little while later, I heard Mycah fighting with the copy machine and laughed. That thing would either work perfectly, then other times, it was trash. We could have gotten another one, but for some reason, we held on to that one.
I jumped out of my seat to go help Mycah before someone else did.
“You good?” I asked as I approached.
She bent down to pull out the drawers, and I had to step back before I got too close and ended up in some shit.
“I think a piece of paper is stuck, but I can’t get it.” I could hear the frustration in her voice.
“You mind if I help?” I slid my hands into my pockets because the urge to touch her in some way was strong.
“You can,” she called over her shoulder.
I leaned down to help her pull the paper out, and our fingers brushed against each other.
My heart galloped in my chest when I felt that spark. I needed to figure out what that was about because that was the fourth time that happened.
Mycah moved back, then stood to the side. I pulled the paper out and threw it in the trash.
“Sorry, this copier tends to mess up sometimes,” I said as I moved closer to her.
“Gotcha. Thanks for your help. I’ll have to be more careful next time.” She pushed her hair behind her ear.
She wore a skirt that stopped right above her knees with a shirt that buttoned up.
On her wrist were gold bangles. I only knew what they were called because my sister wore them.
Her hair hung down her back with loose curls in it.
Standing so close to her, I got another whiff of her perfume, and it was intoxicating.
“No problem. I might have to see about getting a new one.”
“I can look for some and give you the prices,” she told me eagerly.
“That’s fine. Hey listen, the summer bash is coming up, and I would like it if you helped me plan it.”
I could have easily gotten a party planner, but I figured Mycah and I could do it. Like I told my brother, it would give me a chance to spend more time with her.
Mycah clapped her hands. Her bright smile lit up her face.
“I love planning things, so I’ll definitely help.”
I moved a little bit closer to her. It was still far enough to not look suspicious to anyone else watching, but close enough to feel her energy. The rise and fall of her chest let me know how much me being so close to her affected her.
Internally, I smiled by the way she reacted to me.
“Okay. Tomorrow after work, we can get started if you don’t have anything else to do.”
“Tomorrow is fine. I just need to let Cashmere out first, then maybe we can meet somewhere.”
“Cool. We’ll figure it out.” I glanced down at my watch, then back at her. “I have a meeting to get to, but I’ll be back. Again, let me know if you need anything at all.” I let my gaze travel the length of her body, and she licked her lips.
Yeah, doll baby was trying to get fucked, and it was only a matter of time before I made that shit happen.
I walked away, then went into my office. I had to calm my hormones down before I went into my meeting.
I couldn’t wait to spend time with Mycah and really learn about her. The next day couldn’t come fast enough.
