Chapter Twelve
Stupid….stupid…how could I be so dumb? Nicey tossed her purse down on the couch she stormed around her house looking for something to throw like people do all the time on television.
But in the end she changed her mind and she didn’t have the time or energy to be cleaning up glass.
After leaving Spencer’s work place she had drove around for a while not wanting to go back to work.
Sarah could take care of everything without her help.
She needed to sort through a few things and knowing Spencer he would have called and bothered her.
All she had to do was not ever face Spencer again. He couldn’t have a good opinion of her after all she allowed him to do all of those things to her. She never acted like a business woman she was when Spencer came around her and it must stop now.
She had come too far in her life to let a playboy of a lawyer tempt her into a bad girl.
Not matter how good his words and touch made her body feel she had to keep her mind focused on Pamper Me.
It was finally starting to get recognition and she wouldn’t ruin that by making out with one of her clients.
However there was a quality that Spencer possessed that made her want to turn into one of those girls in the BET video that came on around midnight.
Never in her life had she thought about having sex in a man’s office during the middle of the day.
All of past boyfriends had to past the four months’ timeline before she thought about sleeping with them.
Most of them hadn’t wanted to wait that long and dumped her after two weeks; however the two that had waited would have been worth it, but she ended up dumping them a week later.
They hadn’t turned out to be what she was searching for in a man.
She never thought she would find a man that would make her forget about all prim and proper, but Spencer definitely proved today he was that man.
This meant only one thing. She had to stay far away from him as much as she could at least until the contract between the two of them was fulfilled.
Did she have enough will power to resist the devilishly look that came into his eyes when he was aroused. Or the way his hands stroked over her body liking he was a blind man learning the touch of her?
Shit! She had to get out of this house before she lost her mind and called Spencer over for an imaginary nightcap. Most of her friends were married now, but she knew that one of her friends was still single and wouldn’t mind going out with her.
Heading upstairs she decided to take a shower and change clothes then she would call Rishelle Damian and see did she want to have a girl’s night out. She had to find a way to get the overly sexy Spencer out of her mind or she’ll go crazy from wanting him.

“I don’t think you’re supposed to bring a backup when you come on these blind dates” Ben told him as he turned back around in his seat. The woman Nicey wanted him to date was fifteen minutes late and he was about to leave.
“Ben, I wanted someone to talk to while I waited that’s why I dragged you along with me.” Spencer snapped checking his watch again for the third time in the last five minutes. “I didn’t know how this woman might be. She could be a nut for all I know.”
“The picture that you showed me at your office she was hot,” Ben grinned taking a sip of his drink. “Maybe I need to go and get signed up at this place. I haven’t had a dance in months myself.”
“The last girl you dated was so heartbroken after you dumped her that she went back home to Mississippi.” Spencer never understood why Ben couldn’t find the right woman to settle down with.
“Yeah, that’s the last time I date a twenty-one year old,” Ben groaned running his hand across the back of his neck. “I thought she would be so much more mature than she was.”
“Man, you are something else,” Spencer laughed. “Don’t you want to settle down and have kids some day?”
Silver eyes glazed over and a sharp neck shake followed, “No, I don’t have any need for any of that. I might have wanted that after my second wife, but not now. I’m very content with my life the way it is. You’re more of the family type. Isn’t that why you’re going on all of these dates?”
“No, I’m doing it because Nicey won’t give me the time of day unless I do.” He complained and then a sight of Nicey’s half-naked in his office today flashed before his eyes. Hell, he thought her body would be perfect, but he didn’t realize how much until he landed eyes on it this afternoon.
After he had finished his meeting when his clients he had high tailed it over to Pamper Me to see Nicey, but her assistant told him that she wasn’t coming back for the rest of the day.
He had tried to sweet talk Nicey’s address out of Sarah, but she didn’t bulge not even when he gave her his best lawyer smile.
“I’m confused,” Ben frowned setting his glass back down. “I thought you went to this place to ask this Nicey woman out on a date. How did you end up getting fixed up by her?”
“It’s a long story that I don’t want to get into, but just know that I’ll win Nicey’s over in the end. She’s ripe for the picking and I want to pick her.”
Ben smirked. “Oh, you want to do a little mattress hump and grind with her. She must be sizzling.”
“Say that again and you won’t have me as a friend anymore,” Spencer snapped. Sometimes he hated how Ben only saw women in one light, but that how his buddy was.
“Sorry…I didn’t realize your feeling for Nicey ran that deep. You haven’t known her that long.”
“I know but something happens every time we are together. She gets this snobby attitude with me like she doesn’t care about me, but today in my office I saw a new side to her. Yeah, you saw her almost naked as the day she was born, his mind reminded him.
“Hey buddy, you got this look in your eye care to share what happened this afternoon, Ben pressed. “I swear I won’t tell any of my buddies at the station.”
Spencer wasn’t about to tell Ben anything that happened between him and Nicey. It was their business not his and besides Ben wasn’t the best secret keeper in the world.
“That’s okay. I think I’m going to keep what happened to myself.”
“What you don’t trust me,” Ben accused.
“No, I don’t,” Spencer confessed.
“Good, I don’t either,” Ben laughed and looked over his shoulder then grinned. “I think your date has just arrived, so I’m going to leave. I see her at the entranceway and she’s about to come this way.”
“Can’t I bribe you into staying here with me?”
“Nope and besides she’s really gorgeous Nicey did a good job at picking this one.” Ben told him then got up from the table and walked away.
It wasn’t two seconds later that the smell of cherries brushed his senses and he willed his body not to get up and leave the date before it began. All he could think about was Nicey and the way she looked positioned above him right before he was getting ready to slide into her.
God, why did he decide to go through with this first date tonight? Why didn’t he make Ben give him Nicey’s address? He could have been at her house tonight instead of out with a woman that he didn’t have any real interest in what so ever in.
“Excuse me, are you Spencer Davis?” A soft southern voice asked.
Getting up out of his seat Spencer turned around and smiled down at a woman who looked like she should have been an extra on Friends. She used to be his type of woman before Nicey came into his life.”
“Yes, I am,” he answered, “So I guess you’re Colleen?”
“That would be me,” she grinned. “Are you ready for this date?”
Hell no! He would rather be wrapped in Nicey’s arms, but a deal with a deal and he planned to live up to his end, so Nicey’s better be ready because by Valentine’s Day she would be his.
