JULIE"It's just dinner. Nothing too serious"Since the launch, I kept thinking about Adam's request.It was one I never expected - out of nowhere. He was known for being unpredictable in most cases, but I never thought he'd ever make that move of inviting me for dinner.I was kinda speechless when he made the statement, because I didn't know what to say at that point. I was still in the whole frenzy of the applause from the guests after my presentation, so my head was blank.Luckily, he didn't force me to make any conclusions there. He told me to think about it and get back to him to know what day would be convenient."What exactly does he want from me this time around? Trying to play some of those tricks to get me back to his bed?" I kept asking myself.He could have all the girls in the world over for dinner, but why did he choose me all over? I mean, Samantha was all over him. For all I knew, I was a nobody compared to the beauty goddess Samantha was. So, it puzzled me why he stil
JULIE"Sorry, your place?" I acted like I didn't get the first time."Yeah. Any problem with that? Do you want to go anywhere else?""Nah! I was thinking of somewhere not too personal to you. Maybe a restaurant or bar""Julie, who has dinner in a bar, for God's sake? Tell me, when was the last time you went on a date with someone?" He mocked me."Oh, please! It's the thought that matters, not the location""Well, in this case, the bar isn't a great idea for a dinner date. So you can come up with a better place if you're too scared to come to my place" He said."No, it's fine. Let's just have it at your place. But..." I said, then paused."But?" "It's just dinner. Don't try anything corny, Adam""You have my words, Julie. Trust me"We ended the call after we shared a few talks about the office and stuff. Not without gossiping Samantha and her antics. Everything seemed surreal, like I was about to do something crazy. I was about to go on a dinner date with my enstranged baby daddy in
JULIELisa would be mad at me if she found out herself that I had been having some personal dealings with Adam. She would never speak to me for eternity if she knew the reason I called for her opinion was because of a dinner date with Adam.I thought about calling her back to tell her everything, but on a second thought, I had to let it go.“I would spill everything to her at the right time” I told myself.I took out the gown she suggested from the wardrobe and admired it. It was a birthday gift I had gotten myself that year. I had always been driving past it everyday on my way back from work, and the gown kept calling on me.It was just too beautiful to ignore, so I had to get it for myself. Prior to the day I met Lisa at the coffee shop, I had only worn it once. It was truly reserved for special times and the only reason I wore it to work that day was because of situations like this, where I was too confused on what to put on.I was still in the process of admiring the gown, when a
JULIETime was moving faster than usual, but I was barely ready. I still needed to iron the dress I was to wear. My skincare which usually took most of my time in such events, wasn’t done yet. I had to let madam Morello be and focus on the preparation. I wouldn’t want to stand Adam up, even though he wouldn’t mind.To him, as long as I honoured his invitation and showed up at least, he had no problem. So, even if I showed up at midnight, his night would still be made.“So, do you mind telling me where you’re headed to by this time of the night? It’s unusual of you to go out this late” She started.I had gotten too close to her that she now saw me as her daughter. She would always enquire of whatever plans I was embarking on, just to make sure I was safe. Surprisingly, I liked it. At least, that would make me accountable to someone whenever I tried towing a crazy path.“I knew it was only a matter of time before you asked” I teased.“Oh yes! I really needed to ask, ‘cos we both know y
JULIEI was done with my preparations that took forever. I had to take extra time to make sure my makeup was perfect. I wasn’t going to show up at Adam’s place with bad makeup. I needed to ooze class in all levels.“Julie, you can’t be moving around with me looking like this. What would my friends think of me?” He would usually say back then.In his defense, he was right though. I barely put in effort in my looks then, but he was just too mean to put it that way in public.I was ready to move. Everything was perfect. The gown looked amazing on me as usual. My makeup could rival that of top celebrities. I smelled really nice that one could literally eat me up. I could pass as a London Top Model with the way I ate that look.“Pathetic looking girl, right? Let’s see how you like this look, Adam Jones” I said, smiling to the mirror as I made to leave the room.I was so caught up in trying to show Adam how much I had changed, that I forgot my initial plan of not appearing sexy or hot.Ther
JULIE"Hi there! Good evening" I said to him."Hello, ma'am. Is there any problem?" He replied."Not at all. I'm here to see Mr. Adam Jones""Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes yes! Julie Paxton" I said and rolled my eyes at him.I was already getting impatient and annoyed at the questions. I didn't leave my house by this time of the night to come face some interviews. There were better things I could be doing."Ohh, I'm really sorry, ma'am. He told me he was expecting you" He said calmly."Thank you very much. Is he in?" I asked."Yes, ma'am. He told me to be on the lookout. I didn't expect you'd be coming with a car. Hence, the questions" He explained.What does he mean? He probably thought I was one of those cheap girls Adam carries around, that aren't able to afford good dresses for themselves, let alone, a car.I was tempted to ask what he meant by that assertion, but I had to keep my cool.Wouldn't want to mess up that perfect makeup and mood."It's alright. I hope my ca
JULIE“Oh, I see. One of your numerous tactics to avoid my questions, right?” I said.“Julie, we both know that I can do this all day, but is that really why we’re here?” He smiled.“Alright, alright. I’ll cave this time around, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong about the extravagance in here” I concluded.“Don’t worry about that. You’ll still have your moment” He stretched out his hands to help me get up.I knew I usually said this, but there was something really different about Adam that night. He was a totally different version of what I knew him to be. How he stretched his hands out towards me, made me feel like a fifteen year old girl on her first Prom. Such a gentleman he was. If only he was half as good as this, years ago.“Oh, that’s a new one” I jokingly mocked his gesture.“What do you mean?” He replied as we walked.“Tell me, do you usually give your female guests this cute treatment?” I asked, expecting him to react annoyingly.I know, I’m such a devil.Sadly, he disappoint
JULIE"Well, I really hope I don't get disappointed. Would be too bad if the taste doesn't match the aroma" I said."Trust me, you'd want to keep him to yourself after this" He assured."We'll see about that"I wasn't one to be easily impressed by someone else's cooking. You had to be extremely good to get a commendation. Not like I was so great a cook myself, but c'mon, ain't a girl allowed to judge?"I didn't want to assume what you'd want to eat, and I didn't want to ask you either. Would ruin everything I had planned. So, I just told him to make different stuff. That way, you get to choose whatever you feel like having" "Aww. That's very cute... Thoughtful too. But you really didn't have to go through all this stress for me, Adam. I mean, we could still have our date over a simple plate of Pasta""Julie, This is not just a date. See it as a my own little way of appreciating you for your impact in the company ever since you joined... And also an apology for being a dick to you"Oh
ADAMI got Max and Samantha fired the next morning without thinking twice about it. Unlike Max that tried to make an appeal, Samantha was very proud of the act and showed no remorse about it. I sent them both away and threatened to get them arrested if I ever saw them around the company.The past weeks had been a roller coaster for me. First, it was me thinking Julie had betrayed me, and sending her away. Then, it was Max, someone I regarded as one of my closest friends.I wasn’t surprised about Samantha being the mastermind of it. She hated Julie with everything in her and never failed to show it at the slightest chance she got. But, Max? He was way too close to Julie; her closest friend in the office. I never expected such from him.I didn’t know how to approach Julie with everything that had happened the past days. I mean, I sent her away for the second time without even hearing her out. That was so cruel of me.I tried calling her, but her line wasn’t reachable. I had to go see he
ADAM“I have no intentions of hurting you, Adam”When Julie came back, I did nothing but take her in with good cheer. I never knew all along, the plan was to get back at me because of what happened between us six years ago.I spent days brooding over what the one person I loved so much did to me. The betrayal pierced so deep into my heart that I couldn’t get over it. I tried so hard not to believe it was true. I so wanted to to be all a joke or prank.With how innocent she looked, one would hardly suspect she had such an evil intention towards me.I mean, we already bonded so deeply and I was planning on moving her and Bryan to a more befitting apartment close to me, until she was mentally ready to move in fully with me.My major worry was Bryan. It had been over two weeks Julie left and I couldn’t reach her again. A part of me strongly doubted if Bryan was really my son like she said, or if it was all part of her lies to get closer to me, to execute what she had in mind all along.I
JULIE“You have broken the trust I had for you, Julie. Goodbye”Adam’s word kept ringing in my head as the days went by. I tried but just couldn't get over it.I tried to recall everything that happened that fateful day. It was just so fast and scripted perfectly that I didn’t even have the chance to think about what was happening around me.Adam didn’t give me a listening ear either. It was like he was under a spell or hypnosis. The evidence was there; it was their world against mine. I was unknowingly with an official document of the company, which shouldn’t even be in my possession in the first place.I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself, which made me disappointed in Adam. I was sure he thought of me as evil and didn’t want anything to do with me again,The look of betrayal on his face said it all and it took a lot of self-control from him not to get me arrested at that point. Rather, he sent me away again.“Who could have been behind this?” I asked myself.Only Samantha ca
JULIEIt had been two months since things got completely rosy between Adam and I. Two months since he finally introduced himself to Bryan as his father.Things have been going so smoothly ever since. I usually sent Bryan off to his place to go spend some weekends. Sometimes, at Adam’s request, others, just because I wanted to have some “Me” time without Bryan’s problems.Soon, we came to an agreement that Bryan would be spending the weekends at his place, when Adam would be free enough to relate well with him. I also went over to see him when I could and he never failed to have sex with me whenever I was at his place.Things were finally back to normal, as I always wished for. Everything seemed to be going well. Samantha no longer threw herself at Adam. Seemed she had swallowed the bitter pill at last.I was supposed to meet with Max and a certain client at a hotel lounge, with a sealed document Max gave to me the previous day at the office. According to him, the document was for a bu
ADAMIt had been a week since father visited me in my office, seeking to be in the know of what was happening between Samantha and I. He left the office in utter shock after I had told him I had a baby child with Julie.All those years, just like me, he thought that Julie got rid of the pregnancy like I had commanded her to. He had nothing else to do at that point; there was no other way he could help Samantha talk to me, because my mind was already made up.As soon as I got to work the next day, I angrily sped off to Samantha’s office to confront her about what just happened.“How dare you try to involve my father in my personal life? What gave you the guts to do that?!” I thundered at her.She fidgeted, as she had never seen me in such mood before. She tried to calm me, but I wasn’t having any of that.It wasn’t enough that she kept on forcing herself on me, she also had to drag my dad into something he had no business with. That was way out of line.“I know everything. He told me.
ADAMIt had been a week since I had the most mind-blowing sex in a while. A week since I got to spend quality time with the woman I loved dearly. Also a week since Julie told me that Bryan was my seed- a result of one of the numerous sex we had when we were still together six years ago.The news was the best thing my ears ever heard in years. Not even the launch of the fashion brand could rival the joy the knowledge of Bryan being my son, brought me.Everything seemed brand new to me ever since I got the news. I smiled more as my happiness knew no bounds.For so long, I always imagined what it would be like, having my own son, whom I’d give everything he ever wanted. The fact that Bryan was one smart kid, warmed my heart the more.“He’ll go on vacations in any country of his choice” I thought to myself.“I think I should get him a car and a driver who would be taking him anywhere he wants to go to” I thought again.“No, that would be too much” I disputed.“Nah! Nothing is ever too m
JULIEI just had the best sex of my life and instead of feeling used and disgusted at myself, I felt satisfaction like never before. Prior to that day, I never realized how much I needed the orgasm that came from a session of intense sex.It was as as if my whole body had a total revamp; like every organ got changed and became brand new. I had goosebumps all over me for a long time as I laid on the bed with Adam.My legs were still feeling shaky from the climax it just went through and my pussy felt sore. I didn’t care. I had gotten the satisfaction I needed and I was open to more, regardless of how tired I was.I never planned to have sex with Adam. It was never my intentions to get intimate with him. The plan was to go to the wedding with him, spend some time, dance, then get home to have my rest. But the incident with Max which changed my mood, got me craving something to ease myself of the mood swing and sex was just the perfect fit to my puzzle.Adam, on the other hand, panted he
JULIEThe ride back to Adam’s place was a calm one. As I sat next to him at the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but have a feeling of relaxation all over me. Just like at the wedding, a soft melodic romantic song was drifting from the car speakers and this made the atmosphere even more serene.He stared down at me and touched my face calmly, while I snuggled up into his warm embrace. With his arms around me, I felt nothing but safe.Justin was focused on his driving and constant humming to the music. It was like the classic romance movies I grew up watching, only that this time, I was the main character in it.“How are you feeling now?” Adam’s deep sensual voice calmly pierced into my ears.“I’m feeling a bit better. If we could stay in this position longer, I might feel completely better” I said and giggled.“You are permitted to stay for a long as you want” He rubbed my shoulders with his palms.“I’m sorry I had to make you leave the wedding earlier” I apologized.“It’s fine, Julie.
JULIE“Hi, Max” I managed to say.I looked at him and looked away almost immediately. I was so ashamed to look at Max for long. He faked a smile, but I knew that deep down, the smile meant nothing but the feeling of being betrayed and disgust for me.Adam stared at me as I acted weird. I was sure he expected me to be all happy seeing Max, but my countenance was just the direct opposite.“Is everything okay? You both are acting very awkward right now, like you just saw a ghost. Or, did you?” Adam asked, looking around in search of the presumed ghost.“Hahaha! I’m sure she’s just too tired, or maybe she never expected to see me here” Max responded, still smiling at me.As his smile grew wide, all I could see was a broken man, masking it with laughter. I had to cheer up to avoid any further interrogations from Adam.“Yeah. That might be the reason, I guess” Adam nudged my shoulder.“I never knew you’d be coming along with her, though. I expected you’d be here alone” Max continued.“Well…
