Getting off the bed slowly I quickly asked Mac for a towel with soap so I could wash myself off. I could barely look him in the eye. I was ashamed at myself for letting this old ass dude make me squirt all over myself.
"Do you need anything else?" Mac asked. “Why can’t you look me in the eye? Did I do something wrong?”
"No you good, I just never experienced a nut like that before." I finally admitted. " That’s because you been messing with those young bucks." He chuckled to himself. " Look I don’t get around like that!" I said lying through my teeth. I don’t know why, but I didn’t want Mac to know that I had other dudes beside Travis. I didn’t wanna lose on out all the money he was offering me. "You might as well get use to it if we gonna be kicking it on the regular. I love giving head so don’t be ashamed of what your body needs." Mac said with seduction in his eyes. "I'll try to keep that in mind." I said looking at him as if he was losing his mind. If I didn’t know any better I would think that Mac was trying to put the moves on me. "Well, look I gotta go. My boyfriend is waiting for me." I said trying to rush out of his house.
"Ok no problem, let's get together Friday if you aren't busy Dani." "Okay just text me." I said speed walking to my car. Mac had me hot with the looks he was giving me in the house. After that head he gave me and the way he was talking to me I felt a slight bit attracted to him. Almost as if I wanted to get to know him better than just being with on a physical level. By no means was allowing myself to fall for Mac. Shit he was old enough to be my damn daddy....but it was nothing wrong with helping each other out no strings attached it couldn’t hurt right...?
Chapter 4 - Jacob
"Dawg you got some Advil or Tylenol?" I asked my best friend Quentin as I sat up in his guest bed at his house. My head was banging from last night. I didn’t remember too much because everything was still fuzzy. All I knew was the sexy waitress at the bar used my phone to call Quentin to come pick me up because I was fucked up.
"Bruh, what all did you drink last night?" Quentin asked handing me a glass of water and two Tylenols.
"Hennessey and more Hennessey. I don’t even remember how many shots I had." I truthfully replied.
" All I remember is waking up in this bed, which is very comfortable by the way. "
"But shit man what time is it? I need to get to the office.” I have an ass of work I need to catch up on. I had no business getting slaughtered last night. Work was piled up on the office desk waiting for me. I was truly being careless.
"Nigga, you need to relax and have a chill day. You have a hangover, it's written all over your face." Quentin pressured me.
Quentin had been my boy since we were in diapers. I had known him forever and was really the only dude that I kicked it with. He owned his own auto shop and was the only person I trusted to detail my whips. We got along well because like me, he was about his money. He had a nice ass luxury bachelor pad in downtown Vegas which he used quite frequently. I was surprised he was able to pick me up due to the fact he always tied up with a different female.
"So you gotta rest up bro. I gotta jet soon. I thought you had an assistant that takes care of all your paperwork?"
"I do, but I gave her today off." I said rolling my eyes instantly regretting not begging Aaliyah to come in.
"Mr. Business man himself gave one of his assistant's the day off? You wanna fuck her, don’t you?” Quentin asked cheesing his ass off.
"Bruh chill out, it's just business She’s new and I'm trying to be nice." I insisted.
I really was trying to be easy on Aaliyah. I didn’t want her to end quitting like all of the other assistants that I had in the past. Plus, the fact that she was beautiful as hell was a definite plus.
"I think you bluffing, J. I know when you lying, I have known you way too long. Don’t try me!" Quentin chuckled.
"Okay damn, she fine, but I'm not about to take it there with her. She has a good resume and I think she could really help me out in the office. Mixing business with pleasure is never a good idea.”
"Nigga please, when has that stopped you before?" Quentin said clearing his throat. "You do remember you smashed your secretary Amanda?!"
"Don’t remind me about that. She been blowing up my phone nonstop for the past two weeks. She just can't take a hint. I don’t want her married ass.”
"Naw bruh, you just don’t want her husband to try to whoop your ass." Quentin joked.
"Ha, Ha, very funny. I guess you got jokes, never can anyone whoop my ass. If you feel bad for her why don’t you fuck her then Mr. Playboy?" I said cutting my eyes at him. Quentin stopped laughing he thought Amanda was ugly and looked like somebody grandma.
"That ain't funny man that’s all you. You got that.” "I bet, but aye man I'm just messing with you. I gotta get up out this bed and get this business handled.” Jumping out the bed I quickly fell back.
I felt whoozy like I was gonna stumble and fall.
"Bruh look at you. I told you to chill. You bout to end up in the hospital if you keep trying to run yourself ragged. I told you all work and no play will make you dull. Imma whip up some cheese eggs and toast so you can put something on your stomach." Quentin said.
I laid back down and finally gave in. I would never be able to get all that work done by myself today anyway with the type of hangover I had. I would just wait till tomorrow and come in with Aaliyah so she could help me.
"Quentin I'm never drinking again.”
"Nigga shut up, try that lie with somebody else." He replied walking downstairs to fix breakfast. I guess I could have one chill day. Shit I was sick as fuck as hell anyway.
" Yeah I deserve some rest." I said to myself as I pulled the covers over my head to block out the sun streaming in the windows. Before I knew it, I was knocked out.
Aaliyah
I swear I have a love and hate relationship with the weekends. I loved them because it gave me two days to relax but then I hated them because they went by way too fast. It was already Sunday morning and I had to be to work at 8. Even though she had pissed me off the other night, I couldn’t lie this morning I really could use one of Tori's pep talks. I wanted to call her but no way I was gonna be the bigger person and apologize first for overreacting. I was stubborn as hell. Looking around my place I realized it was finally coming together.
I now had all of my paintings that I loved, adorning the walls. My furniture was in the proper place and after only being in town for a week, Vegas was finally starting to feel like home to me. Starting my day off right I decided to take a shower and eat before I drove to Jacobs office. I didn’t have time for any of his mood swings this morning and at least wanted to try to start the morning off on the right note. After a shower and eating a quick breakfast I drove to the office to see only Mrs. Jones car outside.
"Now what is she doing here on a Sunday?" I said to myself.
"Good morning Mrs. Powell," Amanda said her voice sounding dry.
"Morning." I replied back, trying to hurry past her before she started trying to make conversation.
"Ummm can I speak to you for a moment in private.?”
"Sure Mrs. Jones, what is it?” I wonder why she was being so funny. From the day I met this lady I got a weird vibe from her and now it was only starting to get stronger.
"So I know that you are new here to the job but I want to make something clear to you. Mr. Jacobs is off limits." She smirked, folding her arms in front of her like she had an attitude.
"First of all Mrs. Jones, I don’t know where this is all coming from, but trust me you don’t have anything to worry about. Although I am curious to know why you feel the need to check me about a man who is clearly not your husband.” Quickly looking down at her wedding finger and the picture on her desk of her and her husband, Amanda was floored by my comment.
"Yeah, I guess you didn’t think I would notice that you are married to someone else but worried about what your boss Jacob is doing. You honestly need to step out of my face with the drama. If I wanted Jacob tr
ust me boo I could have him!" Flipping my hair and walking down the hallway to my office I left her standing there looking stupid.
She had some nerve to try to check me over some dick and dick that wasn’t even hers. I don’t know what type of party Jacob was running in this place, but I would have to let him know that I wasn't down for his shit. I came to Vegas to work not to be anyone's office whore. No wonder she was in here on a Sunday. She just wanted to make sure that I wasn’t trying to fuck around with Jacob.
"Silly ass bitch!" I said unlocking the door to my office.
Damn, if I could I would call Tori to tell her about this insecure hoe. I hadn't even been working here for two days and she already worried if I could take her little side piece. Laughing to myself I started sorting the files on my desk.
"Someone's in a cheerful mood this morning.” Jacob said entering the office trying to figure out what I was laughing at.
"Wouldn’t you like to know?" I responded trying to be funny.
"No I'm just being nosey. " he said bluntly.
The room fell quiet and we just started at each other in silence. It was like he was trying to figure me out. His sexy ass was not gonna wear me down. I had my guard all the way up. "So have you looked at the files I have on your desk? They need to all be sorted before we leave today."
"I already jump started on all of that Friday. That was what I was trying to explain to you but you wanted to be......”
"Be what? " He said, sitting down on the opposite side of my desk.
"You want me to be real? Because I'm from Detroit and we keep shit straight one hundred.”
"I wouldn’t want anything but your honesty Ms. Powell.”
"Ok well, I was gonna say I was trying to explain all of this to you Friday but you were being an asshole.”
"Wow you waste no time do you?”
"In what?”
"In trying to attack me. I apologized Friday if I gave you the wrong impression of me. I told you I was super stressed from losing the Shapiro case.
He doesn’t even wanna try to fight the loss and that will be bad business if I lose him as a client." Jacob said looking over the files I already were finished with.
"What makes you think he won't come back? Look you are a damn good lawyer and if anybody can fix this it should be you." I responded truthfully.
"Thanks," he said smiling. Damn, why did he have to be so sexy?
Okay Aaliyah don’t fall for it, he’s being nice to you now but later on he will be back snapping. I told myself trying to shake the feeling off.
"Would you like to do lunch this afternoon? I really just want to make up for how I treated you Friday. I know how it is to start a new job and be nervous.”
"Oh really Mr. Boss man?"
"Yes, I hope you don't think I just got my own practice overnight. It took hard work and I had to prove myself.
When people choose me to be their lawyer they are basically putting their faith and trust in me to get them out of whatever problem they are having. " Jacob responded.
He didn’t know that I had already done my research. One of the reasons why I chose to work for him was because of his work ethic and drive. I loved a man that was about his business and his paper.
"Lunch is fine as long as your secretary doesn’t get mad." I smirked.
" What you mean?" Jacob asked looking lost.
"For some reason Mrs. Jones felt the need to come at me about you.”
"What? Let me go speak to her about this immediately!" Jacob said starting to get up out of the chair.
"No Jacob it's fine. I handled it as professionally as I possibly could." I explained to him. " What did she say to you? I apologize she is completely out of line." Jacob admitted sitting back in the chair.
"Jacob it's okay. We just need to keep things professional. Regardless of what you do with your coworkers or in your personal life, it's really none of my business. " I stated to him.
Jacob looked so embarrassed. He didn’t know how to respond to me being so blunt. I knew he could barely contain himself. The anger was written all over his face. I couldn’t even blame him. Amanda needed to know her place if she even had one in Jacob's life. I wasn’t sure exactly what went down between her and Jacob but still the fact remained that she was being messy. She really had me fucked up when she tried to check me like I was the problem.
"I'm sorry, I'll be right back." Jacob said rushing out of my office before I could even try to stop him.
I knew he was going to confront her ass. I couldn’t help but to giggle to myself. I hadn't even been working at Jacob &CO for a week yet and already I was the center of attention. I loved it. Relaxing back in my chair I smiled."I hope he doesn’t think I forgot about my free lunch because a sistah is getting hungry.”

Storming down the hallway I was furious. See this is one of reasons I tried not to mix business with pleasure. I knew something was off when Amanda insisted that she needed to work this weekend. She just wanted to try to keep tabs on me. I was a grown ass man and she clearly had a husband. The fact that she felt so comfortable to check a female at my place of work didn’t sit well with me at all. She had become way too clingy and I already knew I had to get rid of her. "Amanda I need to speak with you for a moment." I saw she was busy running her mouth on the phone but I didn’t give a damn.
"Give me 5 mins Mr. Young."
"No, I said now." I demanded.
Looking shocked at the tone I used with her, Amanda ended the call immediately and followed me into my office.
" Close the door."
" Okay is there something wrong?”
"Yes Amanda it is. Have you lost your mind? How dare you come in here discussing personal matters with new staff. Nobody should know about what happened between us." I yelled.
"Can you calm your voice down, she is here!" Amanda said referring to Aaliyah.
"Oh now you want me to be quiet. We made a deal that night to never let anyone know we had sex. It was just one night. You're married, you need to handle yourself accordingly. Stop spreading our business around the office like some school girl." I fussed at Amanda.
"Omg you are overreacting a bit much. I just told her to keep it strictly business between the two of you." Amanda said as if she didn’t do shit wrong.
"Why did you even tell her that shit? Do you not see where you fucked up at? You are not my woman. That is not your place. You buggin." I said getting frustrated.
“So I guess that’s all I was to you, just a quick nut." Amanda responded getting sad. “Did you really think that I wouldn’t catch any feelings for you Jacob? What we shared that night in that car was magic. You made me feel alive for the first time in so long. I finally felt like I mattered, like I was important. That was all because of you Jacob," Amanda insisted.
"Woah Amanda, you need to fall back. You're married!" I told her trying to knock some sense into her head. "I am for now, but that can be changed. I can leave my husband and we can be together.” She said grabbing my hand. “Slow your roll Amanda. When did I ever tell you that us being together would even be an option? You sounding real crazy right now." I jerked my hand back away from her. Amanda was truly delusional if she thought we were going to be together after a one night stand.
"Me and my husband aren't on good terms. He doesn’t love me the way that man is supposed to love his wife and now that I've shared my body with you, I'm not even sure if I ever really loved him. Why do you think I let you go inside of me without using a rubber?” Amanda questioned me.
"How about because we were both drunk and caught up in the moment? That doesn’t mean we are meant to be together!" I said looking at her like she was crazy.
"Jacob I can’t get you out of my head. Ever since that night you've been stuck inside of my head.
I have grown actual feelings for you and they just won't go away.” Amanda was dead ass serious. She really thought that somehow everything she was telling me was making sense. I didn’t want to bus
t her bubble or hurt her feelings, but I had to let her know the reality of the situation.
Plus I don’t why Amanda would ever even think I would consider making her my woman. If she cheated on her own husband with me, than what would make her not do it to me?
"Amanda, I hate to break it to you but I'm gonna have to let you go as my as my secretary. This isn't exactly the kind of vibe or aggravation I need in my life right now. You have already crossed the line."
I was very upset that I had to let Amanda go. It wasn’t like she was bad secretary or slacking on the job, she was just into her feelings way too deep for me.
"Really Jacob! You gonna fire me!!” Amanda raised her voice in anger.
"Please calm down! I'm sorry, but this just a little too much for me. It will never be professional between us now that you have confessed how you feel. I don’t have those same feelings. I'm trying to not hurt your feelings, but I have to get it through your head. It will never be a me and you.”
"I know why you're doing this to me." Amanda said posted up against the wall.
"The only reason you're trying to get rid of me is because you have hired Ms. Powell. She is single, sexy, and young, so now you wanna get rid of the person who has been with this company since the beginning!" She rolled her eyes.
"This has nothing to do with Aaliyah. She only been working here for two days. Do you see how crazy you sound? The reason why you are being fired is because you have handled this situation in an unprofessional way. I can't let you ruin my reputation or the company's with your foolishness.
"Don’t try to make this about me Jacob. You were the one who insisted you had to have me that night. Before that night I never gave you any type of hint that I wanted to be more than friends. I was happy with my life and my marriage. Then you changed everything.” Amanda said as the tears started to flow from her eyes.
