71: Gossips and Hoes.

KIKI.

Yesterday night was a disaster. I reminded myself with a bang to my head as I walked into the office the next morning. I felt as if I was exposed and everyone knew what Gigi and I did the night before. I tried to concentrate on where I was heading but I stumbled and fell down as all the papers I was holding scattered. I bit my lips in embarrassment as I hurriedly picked up the papers. My colleague Betty, we don’t usually talk but she got down on her knees and helped me too, regardless of the stares we were both getting from the rest of our colleagues.

“You shouldn’t really.” I said trying to bring up a conversation as she shrugged and said,

“It is okay, you should hear what they were saying before you came.” She said as I looked to her stunned.

“What did they say about me?” I couldn’t help asking. I knew it was gossip and it would definitely hurt me but I needed to know what they said. I don’t know why I was so eager to hear it.

“Just some stuffs. People said that you are a hoe. You are trying to play two guys at once, You are Mr Giovanni’s assistant yet you toy with Luca at the same time. You spent the entire night flirting subtly at Luca so you ended up dancing with him, yet you left in the same Limo as Mr Giovanni. It is really not good.” She said as we both stood up and I escorted her to her tan;e.

“What, but we didn’t do… Luca was the one who asked me to a dance and I couldn’t exactly say no. I never flirted with him in the first place. Why would they say something so mean to me.” I said a bit hurt as betty shrugged and replied,

“No idea. It was just circulating and you looked unnerved when you walked in so it kind of made it obvious. Anyways you shouldn’t worry. I won’t gossip about you either. Trust me, I do not have the time or luxury.” She said as I smiled a bit.

“Do you believe what they said though? About me being a hoe? Do you believe it?” I had to ask, I didn’t know why I was hellbent on ruining the new friendship I wasn’t completely sure I made.

“I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinions about what they feel for someone else and we have no reason to judge someone when we are not perfect either. So I may hear what they said about you but honestly it doesn’t affect the way I see you. You are a good person, do not allow what the rest affect you. I have to get back to work now.” She said waving me off as I smiled and nodded my head.

She is definitely a friend worth keeping. I said as I sat down. Barely moments later, Gigi walked in with Judy as they were both discussing about something and laughing and I felt a twinge of jealousy. Didn’t what we had last night meant anything to him? I wondered. He saw me and his smile faded away as Judy paused and saw me and frowned.

Judy and I never really got along as she deemed me unfit to be the assistant of Mr Giovanni so I have always tried my best to stay out of her way.

“Mr Giovanni, is something wrong?” She asked as Gigi pulled his gaze away from me and said,

“No nothing, let us go inside. Kiki fetch me my usual morning coffee.” He ordered in a cold tone as I nodded my head before they both left.

“She really thinks Mr Giovanni would treat her nicely after her stunt yesterday night.” One said loudly enough so that I could hear it while the rest giggled but I snubbed them.

There was no way that I was going to let them get to me. I went downstairs and saw that the coffee area was empty so I quickly made his coffee just like he liked it and went back upstairs. As I got there, I saw Judy leaving the office so I shifted for her to pass.

“I will be back.” She said with a warning. Why did she even bother telling me? It is not as if I was stealing Gigi from her, but I kept mute. I pretended that I didn’t hear her and walked right in. Gigi was just getting off the phone as he saw me and motioned at his table. I dropped the cup, unable to leave.

I was staring at his chest, he had left a few buttons unhooked so to ease away some sweats and I gulped salivating remembering when it was on top me the day before. And his hands were magical on me, I needed him on me again. Maybe I was truly a slut like the rest of my colleagues termed me as but I didn’t care anymore. I had to live my life.

“Is something wrong with you? You look as if you are lost? Talk to me.” He said standing up as he towered before me. I had to look up to see his face now, I stared at his pink lips, did Judy kiss the lips? Why was I thinking about kissing him? This was a bad idea but it was so perfect, I couldn’t stop myself.

“Kiki, do you have something you want to tell me?” He said as I shook my head and decided to leave but on a second turn, I decided to do one of the most stupidest thing that I was going to regret throughout today.

“Kiki why aren’t you saying anything….” I cut him off as I wrapped my hands around his neck, stood on my toes and kissed him, waiting for him to push me away and yell at me to leave his office but he staggered a little surprised.

I was surprised too but I was done waiting for him. I had to get him to make a decision now.
