Foreword
"Terrance how nice to see you." I say calmly but inside there is a storm brewing.
"I had no idea you were in New York; this is indeed a surprise."
"Does Ana know you are here?" I smile a generic smile to be polite.
This man does not take no for an answer that's for sure.
I stand and hold out my hand he takes it and kisses it.
"Madison you look as beautiful as ever."
I smile and sit back down.
"Thank you, Terry, so what brings you by?" I ask.
"You." He says matter of fact.
"Oh?" My eyebrows shoot into my hairline.
He is so bold lord have mercy.
"Oh, do you have something for me to sign?"
I recently went through his real estate firm to purchase my apartment in Manhattan and I gotta say it was worth every single red cent.
He chuckles clearly amused by something.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
"You, you are hilarious."
"Oh, I see." Would you like some tea my receptionist can get it for you."
I reach over to press the button to intercom my secretary Ameena.
"No that won't be necessary Maddy."
"Ok."
"Can I take you to dinner tonight? He asks looking me in my eyes.
"I do not think so Terry, I told you that I do not mix business with pleasure."
'Now if you w...."
"That is an excuse, and you know it." He interrupts.
I look at him curiously.
"You and I have been skirting around this for months and I am not a patient man Maddy when I want something I get it."
"Well good for you." I reply.
"But I am not a plaything or something you can lay claim to Terry."
"I am a human being with feelings and thoughts."
"I already told you I do not date business associates so please before I lose my temper with you stop asking me out."
He looks at me like what I said turned him on even more.
I'm a challenge he's accepted.
Oh lord here he goes.
"Ok Maddy we will try things your way, I'd rather be your friend than nothing at all."
And before I can reply he jumps up and quickly exits my office.
Now ain't that about some mess?!
I fall back in my chair and sigh.
I can't take this anymore I need to get away for a lil while.
The constant texts, phone calls it is borderline harassment!
I guess I am going to have to hurt his feelings after all.
