The surprise

Imaani

"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME that after you guys kissed nothing else happened? He just drove you home and that's all? Please tell me you're lying." Sarah demanded with a confused expression

I was back to work and immediately it was lunch break the first thing my friend could ask me after not seeing me for three days was to ask about my date four days ago.

"Yes Sarah just like I repeated myself the last three times, nothing else happened. We kissed and he brought me back home. End of the story."

"You've got to give me something here you've been sick for the past three days. The day before your entire three-day sickness was the last time I saw you and also your date with hot shot. So pardon me if I want every single juicy detail"

She's right though I fell sick the next day hindering me From going to work, from going anywhere at all. All I did was read my novel eat at least tried to and watch movies. Trying to distract myself from the fact that he didn't text or call me till today.....

He's a busy guy he's probably still trying to find his way around the city.

You texted him and he didn't reply...and it was delivered. My subconscious quipped

So? He's a busy man.

You double-texted Imaani!!

"You know what? Fuck him! You're too pretty to be bothered about an indecisive piece of shit like him. So we're going to go out tonight. And you gorgeous lady, you are going to get laid and drink till you forget he exists. Sex solves everything"

Lord knows I need that last part no matter how much I try to deny or ignore it

"Sarah I'm okay I don't need to get laid. Sex is not the answer to everything, besides I have work to focus on and get my mind off things if I need to."

"Darling, you just told me that you kissed the man you've had a crush on for only God knows how long and then he ghosted you after you went on a date, without a call or text even after you texted him ....DOUBLE TEXTED!. Sweetheart you need sex a lot of it if possible"

I rolled my eyes at her, she didn't have to put it that way "I don't need sex" I replied stubbornly

"Haven't you heard that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone ..... numerous someone" She doesn't sound like she's going to give up

What "I'm pretty sure that's not how the saying goes Sarah"

"Whatever it goes however I say it goes. Whether you like it or not we are going out and we're going to have a lot of fun"

"It's not even Friday. Thats tomorrow" I stated dryly

"Double fun! We go out Tonight and then go out on Friday again! You're a genius Imaani"

WHAT!

"I'm very sure that's not what I meant and you knew that"

"Whatever we only have a few hours left before work ends. I'm looking forward to tonight, bye. Sarah said walking off quickly in the opposite direction

"I never said yes!" I yelled after her causing me to earn numerous disapproving looks from numerous co-workers

I glanced back at Sarah who was already in the elevator she blew me a kiss and waved before the elevator closed completely. I scrambled to my office picked up my phone and sent her a text.

She replied with a laughing emoji and party lights!

"Hey, Imaani?" I raised my head from my phone and looked towards the direction in which the voice came from

"Yes, Emily? How may I help you?"

"Sam-Mr Dean will like to see you in his office"

Samuel huh?

"I'm on my way. Thank you Emily" I replied and picked up my things trying to put them in order

"He said now" she's still here

"And I heard you Emily. I'm on my way or would you like to wait till I'm done and follow me to the restroom also?" I quipped back my voice coming out harsher than I planned

She is pissing me off for real!

I kept my gaze on her, expecting a comeback

"Whatever" she replied and walked off back to wherever she came from

That's what I thought

I picked the file I was supposed to present to Dean in the meeting and left for his office. I knocked on the door and waited for an answer from the other side of the door

"Come in" Dean called out

"Thank you. I heard you wanted to see me, Mr Dean. Oh sorry, I had no idea you had company, would you like me to come back?"

I asked upon my entrance after I noticed he wasn't alone a man was sitting on the second seat and the other one was with his back to us while he glanced at the bookshelf

"Oh, no Ms Cyrus please have a seat" that's weird he's been polite

I'm sure my face held the same shocked expression because I heard a snicker from the man beside me

"Hi, excuse my manners I'm Micheal Evans," he said with outstretched hands to shake me

"Ms Cyrus" I replied in the most professional way possible

I have no idea who this man is or what he and his distracted friend over there are here for my last name is more than enough

He smiled "That's all I get huh?"

"Yes. It was nice meeting you please excuse me" I replied and placed my attention on Mr Dean. He was talking to the other man by the bookshelf. It looked like he wasn't even paying attention to Dean all his attention was on his phone only nodding when Dean said anything.

I turned back to Michael " Hi I'm sorry for This, but do you mind just showing him this file when he gets back I assumed that's what he called me here for. And I have a lot of work that I'm yet to finish" I asked him after placing the file on Dean's desk beside his laptop

"Yeah sure I can do that"

"Really? Thank you I-"

"Ms Cyrus I'd like to introduce you to Mr Jaxon Smith I believe you've met Mr Evans" I turned to face Dean and there he was looking all handsome and glorious like the last time I saw him

Fuck My Life..... stay focused Imaani remember he doesn't even exist. Yeah, he doesn't exist. I chanted in my head hoping that will help me focus well

"Ms Cyrus" I stated the same way I did for his friend. He doesn't deserve any reaction whatsoever from me. We don't know each other.

Shit so this is the best friend Michael, wow does he only hang out with Greek gods

"Mr Dean I placed the file on your desk, if that's all I will be returning to my office"

I need to get out of here

"Oh no. Mr Smith here came to see you. Since he read your magnificent article and the other ideas you've pitched since you got your promotion" from his voice you could hear the bitterness and how hard it was for him to compliment my article

Bitter much?

"I never knew the company's private business could be shown or shared with other people" what the fuck is he doing here?

"Other people? Dean asked looking at me like I had two heads

"Yes sir, you said he read the article and he doesn't work with us here" Think Imaani, you can do it my subconscious taunted me

"Imaani, Mr Smith owns this company."

BOOM!

Dean dropped a bomb

My eyes widened. My face is evident with The shock I was feeling. I took a glance towards Jax and he had the perfect poker face.

Fuck my life. Someone, Please wake me up if I'm dreaming.
