Six

Collins POV:

Wanting to be so close to this girl is like a Monkey wanting to climb a banana tree, I honestly don't know what attracts me to her but I'm attracted and it's annoying.

I've gone through all the occurrences I've had with her in my head and all I can say is I'm a fool.

I never planned for me to be sexual towards her, I'm a Fuck boy, yes I know but not towards my employees.

"Hey man" I turned around to see Ben my best friend walking towards my bar

"You do this every time, walk in like you own the place" 

"Yes and I keep saying you should get used to it meanwhile why do you look bothered, gotten someone pregnant?" he winked and laughed.

I didn't reply to him or tell him what I'd been thinking about because knowing Ben he was going to go on about how liking someone is cute and all and I don't want to be cute.

He all of a sudden stopped what he was doing and stared at me 

"You got someone pregnant oh my gosh, I always told you to use protection"

"Who said anything about getting someone pregnant," I asked in confusion 

"I mean you didn't say anything so I just assumed" he shrugged his shoulders 

"So if you didn't get someone pregnant what's bugging you? You don't look, good man"

"Okay just promise that you wouldn't laugh or say something stupid" I had to make sure before I told him

"I promise," he said raising his hands up

"Okay, so I like a girl and I like her too much" I rushed in one breath, he looked surprised and didn't say anything 

"Uhm first of all, how do you know you like this girl because it's been 

long you liked someone since your last, and second of all who's this girl?"

He rushed the questions at me looking surprised 

"Calm down, we have to sit down first" I motioned for him to sit on the couch and he immediately sat down.

"Well the answer to your first question will be the fact that I think about this girl all the time and uhm I get too sexual with her" I scratched my head while saying the last part

"That doesn't mean man, you might just be horny, when was the last time you were laid?" I laughed out loud and he looked at me like a crazy person.

"I appreciate the concern bruh but I assure you that I do not need to be laid or something, I seriously like this girl and I don't even want to like her but it happened"

"Who's this girl?" he looked so serious so serious now

"My personal assistant"

"Common bro your employee?" he asked in bewilderment 

"Trust me I didn't do this purposely" I defended myself because I knew what he was thinking

"So what do you want to do now?"

"That's where I have a problem because that's what I've been thinking about since, I get annoyed when I think of her with other men and I can't just seem to get the courage to ask her out".

He was looking like he wanted to know what I was thinking, he seemed stunned also 

"Dude says something" I encouraged

"If you ask me I'll say it's ego speaking, all it'll take is for you to take her on a date and state your intentions not hard if you ask me," he said like it was a challenge 

"What are my intentions? Because I myself don't know what exactly I want"

"You could just tell her you want to date her"

"What if we break up it'll interfere with our work lives"

"Then what else will you do" I was thinking too deeply and suddenly I had an idea, I smiled

"I don't like that smile," he said and relaxed on the couch 

"I don't know what you mean but I've thought of something and trust me it's brilliant"

He gave me the if you say so look "so talk"

"What if I make her marry me," I said feeling proud of myself but the look on his face said otherwise. He laughed, Ben laughed at me, and even fell to the ground 

"Are you serious?" he continued to laugh 

I wasn't finding anything funny and I'm sure the look on my face portrayed it because he looked at me and stopped laughing 

"You are serious! God, you're serious about this" he said like it was a bad thing

"It's not that bad is it?" 

"It's more than bad considering you can't ask her on a date but you'll ask her to marry you, how do you intend on doing just that please?" I chuckled

"Oh you misunderstood me, I didn't mean I'll ask to marry me I'll just force her to do so" I smiled at the thought of us married in the same house together.

Looking at Ben's face he didn't find that amusing at all

"Collins it's a marriage we're talking about here, why get married to someone you just like and you don't even know yet" 

"Let's not even talk about the fact that you're going to force her into this, it won't last". He continued to say.

He's not understanding me though, I'm the boss here meaning I decide what I want to do. What better way to let her know that than to give her no choice than to marry me. 

"Don't worry about it not lasting my friend, we would work that out, now let's think of how to force her into accepting". He shook his head

"I'm not in support of this so I'm not doing shit with you, you sort out everything yourself I don't care". He stood up from the couch and dropped his drink on the side table

"Common dude don't act like this, meanwhile I'll need you to be my best man for the wedding"

"Are you even listening to yourself? You sound so narcissistic, I can't even believe you right now". He went off on me

"Calm down man, I know I sound crazy and all but I don't even know how to explain myself, just calm down" I tried to calm him down, he was my best friend and I needed him most this point.

"What do you want me to do?" He looked tired

"Just sit down then we can talk about this whole thing" I urged him towards the seats

He went to sit down while I went to the bar to get us some drinks, I offered him his glass and he downed the content in one go.

"Before you say anything I won't be in support of this decision of yours but I'll be there at the wedding as your best man," he said with finality in his voice

"I appreciate that thank you for agreeing to come to the wedding, you won't understand why I'm doing this but I appreciate" 

"I really do pity this lady," he said while standing up 

"Well I have to get back home now, I'll see you when I see you" he patted my back and I walked him out.

Finally alone and thinking back on the conversations I just had with him I realized that I sounded narcissistic like he said, I don't know what came over me but I have to go through with what I said.

I went to the room where I set up as the office and got to work, I had a contract to make and I needed to think deeply before writing anything.

I spent two hours in my office making the contract that would change my life forever, I reread it over and over again and was satisfied with the outcome, I immediately emailed the contract to my lawyer to go through it and do all things necessary.

I went to bed smiling because I knew the reaction I was going to get the next day concerning the contract will be funny.
