Chapter 3 Deal or Die.

We sat in the pantry. Sierra looked puzzled, her chinky eyes suddenly looked so big. 

"Tell me now, what was that all about? Is he one of your exes? How come I don't know?" 

she teased me, ``Is that man one of my exes? for god sake no, I will never be with a man with that kind of attitude. 

"All right, lower your voice people can hear you, I was with him in the elevator this morning, and we kind of started on the wrong foot." 

I confessed to her trying to suppress my body reaction when it comes to Reid. I'm annoyed that's all I have for him, I keep telling myself in my head.

"You got to meet him before I do? jeez that's a shame, but I observed him looking at you in our meeting session a while ago" 

Trying to ignore the last part, Sierra said he wouldn't like me. That's impossible. I'm pretty certain he has a lot of sophisticated women after him. 

"Nonsense, let's go lunch break is almost over."

"If you say so" 

She answered back at me, coping up with my fast phasing of walking back to work.  

"Oh, Reid are you avoiding me? I was coming back and forth here to catch you, finally you are here" announced by a female voice.

This woman appears like a supermodel, looking so fly with her short bob cut hair, long pair of legs, what a stunner.

"Liz I told you we are over, plus it is office hours, you may leave like how you enter." 

Reid said annoyed, his face darkened, all I could sense with his tone of voice was total disappointment.

Am I going to knock or wait for this lady to leave Reid's office before I come in? This is so important and Rina told me to be quick, is she her girlfriend? How come all the best in the world is in Reid's sleeves.

Not overthinking I opened the office door without knocking. 

This sassy lady was standing there immediately looking at me quite shocked as I entered. 

"Don't you know how to knock? you are interrupting some private matter here" 

She said snapping her fingers in the air, she seemed unhappy seeing me in the same room, breathing the same air with her and Reid.

"Oh I don't mean to pry, but I suggest you bring that personal matter to yourselves, and besides you are in a corporate setting." 

I said hiding my disbelief at her remarks.

"Hi baby, you fetching me for lunch?"

Reid said getting my attention instantly, walking towards me. Calling me baby? I can't believe what he said just now, is he trying to use me to make Liz jealous? dragging me into his private life? Can someone make him stop?

He walked towards me, so damn close, holding my hand gently. 

I don't know what to say. My mind went into a mental block in a jiffy. My heart is racing right now. Somebody rescue me.

"Becca, don't say anything, just tag along with me" 

he added, whispering.

"Baby? What do you mean by that? this normal-looking woman right here is your new girl? don't make me laugh, Reid."

Liz said, mocking me, her face turning red looking presently mad.

"Liz met the love of my life Becca Dela Vine, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, smart and sweet. 

Right baby?"

What is going on, his eyes look so sincere, my instinct is saying I should keep moving and leave this room as soon as I can. 

This man is a total jerk, And his name speaks trouble with a capital T. 

But before I can even move, 

Reid grabs both of my shoulders, moves towards me, leaning closer to my body, slowly looking up to me, and lands his lips aiming to mine. 

I'm feeling every sensation brought by his kiss, he is kissing me passionately like we are lovers. He slowly moved his hand to my neck caressing my hair with his fingers. 

I'm panicking inside but my body says otherwise, I started kissing him back, putting my hands on his broad shoulders.

Slowly closing my eyes.

Reid Alonzo Manhannah is kissing me, for real.

He smells so good and I will tell Sierra later that he is indeed hot.

But why do I feel dizzy?

It all went pitch black.
