Page 9 of Love, Restricted
When it was time for lunch, I walked around the block to a small deli and got a quick bite to eat. Afterward, I walked around the area for a little while. I spotted a couple of stores I wanted to check out in my free time.
I was surprised to see Kairo in his office when I returned after lunch. Before I could sit at my desk, I heard, “Mycah. Can you come in my office please?”
Being summoned to Kairo’s office made my heart rate accelerate. I didn’t know if I had done something wrong or what. Straightening out my dress, even though there wasn’t anything wrong with it, I held my head high and entered his office.
“Yes, sir.”
A low growl rumbled in the back of Kairo’s throat, but I pretended I didn’t hear it.
“What’s this for?” he asked as he held up the gift card.
“Oh, it was for ruining your shirt the other day.”
He smiled as he looked down at the card, then back at me.
“I told you it was fine but thank you. Are you good?”
“I didn’t feel right not compensating you for the dry-cleaning bill. And yes, I’m good so far.”
“My dry-cleaning bill is nothing for you to be concerned about, but thanks again. If you have any issues, let me know,” he said and I nodded. “In the meantime, can you make a few copies for me?” He passed me a sheet of paper, and I took it from his hand. When I did, our fingers touched, and I felt that jolt again. That was the third time that happened.
“Will do.” I walked out of the office to make the copies he requested.
The rest of the day was spent with me filing and organizing papers. Kairo spent a lot of time in meetings, so we didn’t have any real communication after I made the copies for him.
That was okay with me because I didn’t need Kairo throwing me off from what I needed to do.
I was tired by the time I got home from work, but I looked forward to the next day.
Mycah was goingto 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. Ifwe 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.
