SEVENTY ONE

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

SEVENTY THREE

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

SEVENTY FOUR

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

SEVENTY FIVE

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

SEVENTY SIX

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

SEVENTY EIGHT

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

SEVENTY NINE

JULIEI knew Adam wanted a more personal conversation, but as much as I wanted that too, I couldn’t risk the outcome.What if the whole conversation turned to something way more intimate than I could handle? Or worse, things got sexual. I just preferred to keep it casual, but he was not going to have any of that.“Let’s talk about you, Julie. I don’t want this whole work stuff around here. If I wanted us to have discussions about work, I could have asked for a meeting at the office instead” He continued.“Alright, alright. What do you wanna know about me?” I finally obliged.Adam was a very persistent man, so I knew there no point beating around the bush. He would always find a way to get me to do his bidding and the crazy thing was that I fell for it every damn time.“Well, do you still hate me that much?” He asked.“Why? Why do you think I do?”“Oh, come on, Julie! We both know how cold you were towards me when you got back. Let’s not pretend like you didn’t wish me dead after every

EIGHTY

JULIEI got back from Adam’s place that night exhausted. We didn’t engage in any sexual activity, but it was like the whole conversation had an effect on me. I got home some minutes past 11pm and I didn’t want to disturb Madam Morello or Bryan, whom I knew would be long gone somewhere in dreamland, probably eating all the chocolates I wouldn’t let him eat in reality.I had my own key, so there was no need to call her to come get the door. I just got in and walked straight to my room to get a shower and retire for the night.“Who’s there? Julie?Is that you?” I heard Madam Morello’s voice.I guess I thought wrong. She was still wide awake. She was probably up hoping I would come home earlier like I had promised.“Oh! Hey, ma’am. Still awake?” I paused my steps and walked towards her.“Yes, I am. I just got up ‘cause I heard the door squeak. Had to come make sure it wasn’t some intruder” She rubbed her eyes and made for the kitchen.“The house is calm, which means little man is asleep” I
