December 14
Work was tense from the moment I set eyes on Mr. Nathan Strong.
I was a goner.
His tall six-foot six frame, large muscular arms showing through his suit which looked like it had been made to fit his body. He had those gray-bluish eyes that made me cream my panties. His dark hair and hand chiseled jaw line made me want to do dirty things to him all over his extra-large desk. Blinking back into reality I realized I had thirty minutes to finish getting ready.
Finishing up my make up I slip into a white, black and yellow spaghetti strap dress and a pair of open toe black studded red bottoms. Snapping a few pictures, I make sure everything is decent. Just as I closed the closet door the doorbell rang. Taking my time, I make my way to the door nervous as hell. I peek out and boom there he stood in all his glory. Sure, enough he was thirty minutes early and sexy as ever dressed in another tailor-made suit.
"Who is it?" I ask jokingly as I nervously lick my lips.
"It's Nathan." He says rubbing his head of dark curls hair.
"Nathan who?" I ask opening the door with a shy soft smile.
"Wow." He says looking me up and down.
"Come in. I just have to grab my jacket and bag." I say stepping aside, letting him in.
"You look... wow." He says kissing my jaw, closing the door I feel him right behind me.
"This dress is dangerous girl." He whispers in my ear nibbling at it. Letting out a soft moan I slip out of his hold.
He may be a hot and by hot, I mean fine as fuck, superman look alike but I refuse to be an easy target for him. He ass got to work for all of this! Momma ain't raise no hoe. Okay... she did but not a dirty hoe.
"Is it now?" I ask turning in his arms he had somehow wrapped around my waist.
"You seem more confident and comfortable with me, than at the office." He says staring into my eyes as he licked his lips.
"This is at home, me and my date. That was at work, me with my boss." I say wrapping my arms around his neck to get a quick peck. Pulling him down I quickly kiss his lips then pull back and go to get my jacket and purse.
"So, where are we going?" I ask once we are seated in the back of his car and the driver maneuvers through the streets of Memphis.
"It's a surprise, but first we have to make a shoe stop." He replies as we pull up to Chanel.
"And while you buy shoes, I'll get a purse or two," I say excitedly. Laughing he climbed out and walked over and helped me out. I was so busy shopping I didn't notice Nathan behind me with three boxes of shoes.
"I didn't mean to frighten you, here." He said sitting the boxes beside me.
"What are these for?" I ask lifting my head.
"Try them on." Nathan says in a duh tone with a slight eye roll.
"Why?" I ask confused.
"Just do it girl." He says helping me sit then squatting down removing my shoe. Slipping the tennis shoe on he smiles because it's a perfect fit.
"How you know what size?" I ask shocked.
"I got skills." He says with a smirk as he sat the box back down.
"Doesn't matter, I'm not getting these but they cute." I state the man had taste.
"Yes, you are. This is why we came here." Nathan whines as he admires the shoe and my leg.
"I could have got extra shoes at home Nathan." I say looking up at him.
"Not these," he says smirking holding the second and third box open I see the limited additions heels that match the bags I had picked out. Removing the new shoe and placed it in the box before gathering them in his arms.
"No, oh my lawd! I refused to let you buy me anything. I can pay for them myself." I say already seeing that look in his eyes.
"To bad I already paid for everything let's go." He said smirking
"What wait how?" I gasp.
"I paid a lot of money for them to close the store so anything that you touched or looked real closely will be delivered to you tomorrow. But you can take these now." He says as the sells lady brings out four large bags to pack all of the stuff.
"I'm paying you back." I huff stomping out the store after he puts my shoe back on.
This isn't over yet!
Damn that man, I mug Nathan the whole way to our next destination. I wouldn't even speak let alone change my shoes. So, making our way up four flights of stairs, he carried me up and I gave him attitude the whole way. I couldn't help but stare at him in shock when I realized where we were.
A sold-out event, I had been dying to attend.
"I only call you when it's half pass five!" I screamed singing along to The Weeknd. Nathan had front row seats to his concert and I was in heaven grinding all on Nathan. Not complaining one-bit Nathan danced with me and actually sung along.
"That was awesome Nathan, thank you." I say kissing his nose.
"You are welcome. You ready to eat, I'm sure I could eat a horse." Nathan replied smiling big as hell.
"Yes, Mr. Giant man." I respond smiling.
I nibble on my lip debating on if I should tell him about what his mother said earlier at the office. I must have drifted off into thought because before I knew it Nathan was standing above me with his hand out calling my name. Also, we still had to talk about the money he dropped on all the stuff from Chanel. I mean like what the hell. I make enough money to buy my own Chanel.
"Leah, you gone sit there all night?" He asks with a light sexy chuckle.
"I was thinking." I say sliding out of the car.
"I see, what had you so deep in thought?" Nathan asked curiously.
"I'll tell you once we have been seated." I say walking beside him. How was I gone fuss at him and still keep my job? I didn't need the job it was just a favor for Jessica who had a family emergency and I happen to be just moving into town.
There were currently less than two weeks until Christmas and I didn't have any family other than her, she is my bestie. My mom passed away six months ago from cancer. I went months without talking to Jess before I decided to move here so I wouldn't be alone.
"Are you okay Leah?" I hear and snap out of my dark thoughts.
"Ahh yeah." I respond not realizing he was waiting on me to take a seat.
He orders us a nice white wine and then orders our food while we talk a bit. Once our food arrives conversation dies down.
"Leah tell me what is on your mind." Nathan asks softly.
"Ah your mother, she invited me to dinner on Sunday?" I try to say but it comes out as a question.
"She likes you, I told her we weren't dating but she didn't care." He responds nonchalantly eating more of his food.
"Oh lord, so I cannot go. Good." I say happily. I didn't even know this man really and his mom was trying to have me at their family dinner.
"What no you have to go she'll kill me if you don't show up." Nathan said with a scary look in his eye as he pouted.
"Mm she sounds like my mom." I say stuffing my face as I held back my tears.
"Speaking of you family tell me about them." Nathan asks smiling up at me.
"Jessica is all I have left." I whisper out after a pregnant pause.
