Chapter Seven

Chapter seven.

“Hey,” i said smiling at the receptionist. She was a tall brunette who didn't seem to like me very much. “Am here for Jordan,”

“Do you have an appointment?” she asked me coldly.

“Not officially, but he is expecting me.”

“Well am not allowed to let anyone in without an appointment.” she said sitting back down.

I took my phone out and dialed Jordan's number, but he was not picking up. I was about to go back down to the car, when Chloe called me.

“Hey,” i answered the phone enthusiastically.

“Hey baby girl how is Chicago treating you? Is it cold?”

“I will catch you up on everything but i need your out of the box thinking right now.”

“Ofcourse, what's going on?”

“I am supposed to be in a meeting with Jordan but his receptionist won't let me in and he is not picking up his phone.” i said loudly for the receptionist who was looking at me like i was one of Jordan's sluts to hear. She just rolled her eyes.

“Well that's easy, just walk right past her.” Chloe said giggling.

“Wait won't that get me in trouble with him?” I ask wondering if it would be unprofessional. But again he should have informed her i was coming.

After i hanged up the phone i hurriedly walked towards Jordan's office without looking back.

“Hey you cant go in there.” she shouted at me quickly following me.

“watch me.” i said as i slammed the door open. I immediately wished I had just waited downstairs at the sight of a woman sprawled naked in his desk. A different woman from the one in the pool.

“Oh my God am so sorry.” i said still deciding if i should ran or just stand there, then i saw the mean receptionist laughing.

“I told you not to go in there.” she said before walking away.

“We had a two pm appointment sir.” i said walking slowly into the office, the woman was still naked on his desk, Jordan was shirtless looking at me amused, or maybe angry. I looked around, it was a huge office decorated with some paintings, the walls were all white and a very large window that faced the city.

I walked slowly across to the sofa at the far end of the corner, there was total silence, only the sound of my heels creak could be heard.

I sat on the sofa putting my bag next to me as i crossed my legs.

I could feel Jordan watching me, he never moved an inch.

“Do you want me to wait for you to finish?” i said looking up at him, maintaining eye contact.

“Bitch can't you see, he is busy.” the woman said getting up. She was completely naked and seemed to be proud of it. In her defense her body was banging, she had one of those magazine bodies, perky breasts, with a round ass. She picked up her dress and quickly put it on, “Who the fuck is she?” she then asked Jordan.

“Am so sorry about this, i will call you.”Jordan said to her without getting his eyes off me.

Completely pissed the woman started stomping out of the office when i stopped her.

“Hey,” i said,

“What?” she blurted out without looking back.

I smiled and stood up walking towards her direction smiling, “Your panties!” i said dangling the black lace panties in her face with a pen.

She grabbed them and banged the door loudly as she left. I smiled before turning around to face my boss. He was still standing, but now his hands were in his pockets.

I went back to my previous position and sat down in the same spot.

“Am starting to think you hired me just to torture me.” i said looking up at him. He slightly smiled then started walking towards me with his hands in his pockets still, “Am sorry for the blue balls, but you can finish that later.”

“You think you are cute huh! With that smart ass mouth.” he said touching my lips with his thumb.

“Just here to do my job sir. You said two pm and i came at exactly that time.” i said removing his hand from my face.

“I need you to go to a party with me tonight and pretend to be my girlfriend.” he says with a straight face, but i think he is joking so i burst out laughing. But he just stares at me, its when it hits me he is serious.

“Am not doing that. You didn't tell me that was part of the job description.”

“You are coming with me Ella and that's final.” he says and walks out buttoning his shirt leaving me alone in his office.

******

ELLA.

I don't remember much about what happened after we arrived at the gala. Camera flashes burst around us like fireworks as we walked the length of the press gauntlet. Everyone was asking who the mystery girl on Jordan's arm was and i was feeling so overwhelmed i just wanted to get away.

The moment we crossed over into the building someone called him giving me a chance to go to the ladies room to freshen up. My anxiety was kicking in and I am mostly socially arkward. I didn't like being around this many people and my fears were starting to kick in. What if someone recognizes me and gives the paparazzi tips, it definitely won't look good.

"Ella! " Jordan's mom exclaimed as she approached me "that dress looks stunning on you"

She Air kissed me in both of my cheeks. She was gorgeous

"thank you" i said snatching a champagne glass from a passing waiter. I was going to need as much liquid courage to get through this event. I took a gulp of champagne as i searched the room for Jordan. I didn't want to spend any more time alone with his step mother incase i ended up saying the wrong thing.

"How long have you and Jordan been together?"

Tracy asked. My body immediately stiffened, we hadn't exactly discussed what to say to such questions so that we don't say different things before i could answer her,

"Ignore her" Jordan said sliding his hands through my waist from behind me. "she never approves any of my girlfriends, she is always interviewing them, then says they are not good enough for me."

As he set his hand on my lower back a shock of awareness spread through my body like fire. When his fingers flexed through me i wondered if he felt it too.

" You ran off Ella"he  almost whispered in my ears in the most seductive voice i have ever heard.

" well i was giving you time to say hello to all the people who wanted to talk to you "

" You are supposed to be on my arm remember? If we are supposed to sell this girlfriend thing" he says now almost whispering into my ears.

"Honestly i thought we were doing this for your parents, i did not realise you also wanted the whole world to know" i say choosing my words carefully "

He regards me for a moment before finally speaking" am actually not looking to be in a relationship and i want to concentrate on my work, the world knowing i have a girlfriend will make the women throwing themselves at me stop"

He extended his arm to me. "May i have this dance?"

I picked up my clutch and  smiled "i would love to dance"

Arm in arm we headed to the dance floor, and we moved naturally into the music. He was a skilled dancer, agile, confident in his lead.

We danced very well as a couple, i relaxed into his hold. Jordan pulled me closer, it didn't help that being so close to a man i had recently been intimate with seduced my senses. He smelled scrumptious with undertones of sex. And the way he led me through the bokd sweeping steps made me feel the soreness deep inside me.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" he asked me

Blushing and getting me out of my dark dirty thoughts "yeah i am"

"i have never been to such an expensive party"

He looks at me confused and totally shocked

"whaat, you're about to say that's weird considering what i do for a living aren't you?" i say now looking him up straight in the eye

His gaze caught mine, and held it, i could see amusement in his eyes.

"So blondes are your type huh?”  i ask him still holding his gaze.

"wait what?" he says smilling like a twelve year old "I don't have a type, i just happen to find myself with women who have similar features "

"am sure that's the definition of type, but hey, so why did you choose me, am totally the opposite of what you usually go for, and please don't tell me it was because of my brains"

"I chose you because you hold a certain form of innocency, like you have so much to give other than your banging body. And yes you do have a killer bod, big amazing huge titties and a big butt"

With those words he sent an urge all over my body, daaamn the man just had a way with his words.

"I just don't know what it is with you Ella, you are just different"

At this point my inner thighs are on on heat and i decide to play, test the waters with this beautiful man.

I lean over him to his broad shoulders, then slowly whisper in his ears in the most seductive voice i didn't know i had

"Do you want me to help you figure out what it is?"  he hardened instantly.

He pulls me even closer and i can feel as he grabs my butt squeezing,

"i can tell you, but showing you will be much easier" i say feeling the excitement of his cock through his jeans.

He looks at me with hunger and desire, his eyes turn dark or maybe i was just turned on

"Ella meet me in the rooftop in ten," he says instantly pulling away and walking away.

I stand there for a moment trying to catch my breath.

It took longer to get to the rooftop. I had to rush to the bathroom to freshen up first before i decided to go to the rooftop. Moments later i Burst through the door to the rooftop.

I scan around for Jordan since he left before me, when i see him, he has his whole mouth down another woman's throat. She looked exactly like the kind of woman he would be spotted with,a blonde tall and slender. Her dress was modestly sexy, a flowing sheath of creamy satin that contrasted beautifully with her olive skin. She looked like a fucking super model. He was kissing her like his life depended on it. I was irritated wondering did he do this on purpose to humiliate me. Closing my eyes i shored up my composure, i didn't need this.

I walked away slowly trying not to make any noise and interrupt their deep make out session.

I maintained my cool and didn't stop until i was outside the gala. I wanted nothing more than to be home, but i couldn't leave without him or his parents to say the least. But i needed the fresh air. So instead i decided to take the time and call my best friend Chloe and check up on her and my son.

Luckily enough Chloe picked on the first ring

"Hey mama," she answered excitingly, "we miss you so much, you just missed kyle, i put him to sleep like 5 minutes ago, do you need me to wake him up?"

"No, just let him sleep, I will talk to him tomorrow, i miss you so much. I wish you were here with me, i have never gone to any party without you"

"i know Ella, but when you're done with that we will go out i promise. So how is your fake boyfriend doing, am sure you didn't call me just to say you miss me" Chloe says laughing

“First of all i called because i miss you guys and yes i also called to vent, this man is driving me kinda nuts”

“What do you mean kinda nuts? “

“i don't know, just like now we were dancing having a real conversation, even flirted a little and then he told me to meet him in the rooftop only when i went to meet him, he was kissing some beautiful woman.”

Chloe breathes heavily “i just don't know how to deal with him you know? He says one thing then goes and does the complete opposite, sometimes he treats me like am his actual girlfriend then he would completely turn and treat me like the hired girlfriend i just dont know, it's confusing .”

“Am sorry baby, what are you going to do?”

“Nothing, their's nothing i can do about it, i mean he is literally paying me to be here”

“well just be careful babe, stick to basics the two weeks will be over before you even know it.”

Ella breathed heavily before saying her goodbyes to her best friend

“i have to go before they notice am gone, i will call you tomorrow kiss kyle for me, bye.”

I put my phone back and walk back into the gala.

It's not long before Jordanfinds me

“you keep running off,” he muttered, scowling down at me. “ you were supposed to meet me, what happened?”

“Looks like someone picked up the slacks  quick enough”, i say with attitude

His brow arched

“i came and you were with some blonde, I was right after all, she was a blonde”

“Jealous much Ella?”

“seriously?” i looked away. I was not going to waste my time explaining to him it was disrespectful. I started walking away, he pulled my hand catching me by the wrist

“she is just a friend”his jaw tightened

“If you say so Jordan, but if we are here as a couple and you want people to believe am your girlfriend then you shouldn't be kissing other women, people might see you and it will cause a scandal. it's none of my business either way am tired i want to go home.”

“the driver can drive you back home, i still need to talk to some people before i leave”

“that's okay, i will wait outside then.”

I walk away irritated by this man. I had no problem coming to this party but i was no fool.
