HE WANTS ME

PROLOGUE

The music sound to the highest tempo of it yet, and I am swaying my hips from side to side as I dance to the beat it elicits

The party ground is crowded with so many people and I don't mind that moving my leg to the side or body to another side attracts yet another person's sweaty body to come in contact with mine

I took a sip of the alcohol I am holding on to swinging my waist to the side as the music grows louder and louder

What better way to escape the night of studying, than what I have been doing for the past two weeks now being in the VIP section of this party is undoubtedly what I longed for.

"You are having so much fun" Lily whispers to my ears as she drags me closer to herself, and we are both grinding on each other with me laughing loudly

I cannot be drunk, yet, because I'm just getting started, and I need as much drink as I can get

I took a swing of the drink I was holding with no content dripping into my mouth. I sigh, slinging my shoulder down

I drag Lily closer to me whispering to her ears "I need to get another drink" whispered

She said yes to what I said, throwing her face the other way she is back to dancing to the beat with a man holding her waist tightly

Knowing she is safer and having fun I turn around using my eyes to locate the bar

"Ah there it is" I walk to the place making sure my leg doesn't flutter and weave until I got to the stand

"I need a drink, anything strong," I tell the barman seating there

He gave me a side-looped smile and went down to search for the drink

I huffed again sliding to the chairs and settling myself down

I need this drink right now at this very minute. I turned to the other side to watch if I can catch a glimpse of Lily, but instead, I caught a glimpse of someone else

A man who had a drink over his mouth, but his eyes were intently on me,

I gobbled down the drink that wasn't there and looked away when I turned to look his way again he still had the same look on his face. A look of interest

"Your drink" I snapped out of looking at the man as I turned to the barman who had my drink in his hand

"Thank you" I dipped my hand into my purse to get his money out

I handed it to him, but he was shaking his head refusing

"The drink has already been paid for," He said

"What? I didn't pay for that" I replied to him, a little appalled

"But someone else did," a husky voice said from behind me, and I turned to where it was coming from

I felt a little shiver running down my back as I turned to my back seeing the gentleman who was just sitting across from me

Because of the dimness of the light I couldn't make out his features, but he is freaking tall. From where I am seating on a high stool, he still towers over me hands down, and is looking up at him

"Thank you" I found my voice, "but it wasn't necessary" I pointed out

He chuckled, through the music sound playing around us, I could still make out the intense sound of the chuckle that came out of his mouth

"Am merely offering a pretty lady some drink" he shrugged his shoulder

A blush creep to my neck, and thank God for the lights here will hide the fact plus my brown skin will shade me from the enormous amount of blush that is starting to creep up

"Grateful then" I tip the drink towards him as I take a steady sling of it

The hotness of the drink hits me so hard and I am trying to place my hand to balance off myself

"Shit" I mutter out loudly as the drink hit me right where it should

"That was fast" he chuckled, and I look his way to see if he is talking about the way I took the alcohol

"I just felt like that," I said to him dragging myself off the stool "Thanks for the drink once again" I gave him a mock bow with the same expression on my face and started walking back to the dance floor

I turned back, cause why wouldn't I, and he seemed to be fixed on the same position, unmoving

I turn my attention back to where I am walking until I get to the position I was last in before getting the drink

I look around and there is no Lily anywhere, where the hell is she right now?

I look around one more time and know that she probably is somewhere, dancing off, and I shouldn't bother myself searching for her

A high music came up and swinging to the beat of it as I dance around humping to the air as it became harder

I felt a hand on my waist, soft yet tentative. The hand is sliding slowly down on my waist bringing me flush against his hard chest

I inhale a deep breath as I am in contact with his back. I keep dancing, this time slowly to the music that plays before us

The hand moves around my waist, holding me tightly, I move my head around and am stopped looking at the face that holds me

The gentleman from the bar had a cute smile on his face., his dimples displayed out

His touch is intoxicating, his hold on me rough but commanding. I turn my attention back away from his face as he is gripping me now more tightly

I lean my waist back down, and I hear him take enough breath, he is flushed. I can feel the erection that surges through him as they are pressed to my back.

For some reason, I hook my back more to him, and his hand is pressed on my waist, holding me in place.

I turn away from him to look at him and his eyes are filled with so much lust, I get surged in them in the blue eyes that are looking at me with lust filled in every corner of his eyes.

I took an immense intake of air as it felt like the one on my body had been surged out by whatever power he holds.

For the first time in my life, I felt sexual chemistry with someone, I let him run his hands through my belly, let him hold me against him and when he turned me around holding my neck, his mouth came close to my ears.

I shuddered, holding myself in place when he whispered.

"We can leave here right now if you want" I don't think of the fact that I don't know him or haven't seen him ever.

But his words are dragging with his hold on me. His words hold promises and I will, I want to explore them even if for today the promises his words hold.

I turn out from him, holding his hand.

"Take me away from here then" I whispered out to him, biting my lips in ecstasy when I heard the growling sound that came out of his mouth.

"Mom, wake up" I felt a tiny hand shaking me awake. I scrunch my face up trying to hold myself and stand to the tone of the person shaking me up

rubbing off the sleep in my eyes, I open them to stare at the handsome face with his pouty lips and a hand set on his jaw as he looked me

"I told you I will wake you up today" He grinned like he had achieved the most precious thing on earth by waking me up

I smiled at him, my face glowing with happiness as I couldn't help but stare at the handsome young man right in front of me

He wasn't a mini-me, nope. With his blue eyes, his jaw straight, his pink lips pouty, and a hair set out so straight weaving it back. With his oval face that shapes into a heart full and the tiny little fingers he uses to wrap me around, he is the perfect little boy

"Oh Jaycee mommy just needs another minute" I slumped back on the bed taking the duvet with me and covering my head

"No, no mamma you need to wake up" he moves his little feet to the bed, sat on the duvet, and starts dragging it down

I set my hand on it gently, chuckling as I drag the duvet along with him. His little chuckle and laughter can be heard as we both kept dragging the duvet

"Mamma just give up" he shouted, laughing so hard as I let the duvet loose, and he finally dragged it off me with a loud bubbling laughter

"I won I won" He stood from the bed jumping rapidly on the bed with his massive smile that he wasn't trying to suppress

"Okay yes, yes you won" I growled in defeat, and he laughed more before dropping to the bed beside me,

I cuddled him closer to myself, and he sighed peacefully

"Good morning mama" he whispered then dropped a kiss on my cheek

I cuddled him closer "Good morning my perfect boy" he chuckled more as I tickled him out "We have to get ready for school yes??" He grinned as I tugged him off the bed, carrying him away as we walked to the bathroom

Jaycee is just 4, but he loves to do everything himself, so we wouldn't fight this morning I set him on the bathing tomb filling the tomb with hot warm and letting him choose the temperature he wants

Once he is ready I set him on the tomb allowing him to rub his body with the bathing towel and then set to do my bathing

being a mother can be stressful but then waking up to the most perfect boy I can ever ask for I don't complain afterward

It's been 4 years, four years since I had him and four years since I had the best sex of my life

Daya you don't have to think about that night. I sighed heavily, dropping the brush I was holding

"Mama are you alright," he asks with concern written all over his face

"Of course my baby." I walk to where he is rubbing his hand sporadically on his hair

At least that night gave me the most perfect baby I can ever ask for, it gave me the little sunlight that shines through my day, so I don't have to complain too much about it,

I watch him splash the water around before I finally dip him out of the water and we both are going to the room for him to get ready for school and I ready to work

* *

The rush hour is as intense as it has always been. I'm running as fast as I can to get to the office before the boss arrives

Gosh this is why I hate having to wake up late, when I spend the whole night browsing through online platforms I could work why wouldn't I wake up too late

At least, there is Jaycee who wakes Mommy up from sleep

"Zendaya Archer I cannot believe you are as late as I am" I turn to see Monique running towards me,

I laughed, she has her heels on her hand not minding almost everyone is staring at her.

Her hair is undone and bushy but of course, she doesn't mind that she didn't do her hair this morning

Monique is one of my coworkers, and we have the same office as others

Yes, I work as a Financial Analyst in one of the bigger companies in the state. Not that these days it's called bigger any more maybe big now

My work doesn't pay much, but it's better than running around waiting the tables when I can easily just sit around the office and see that finances are handed over to the department they are meant to go to

"Good morning Monique" She holds my hand to her, and we are walking, no we are running inside the office

"Gosh there will be a meeting this morning and I just had to binge-watch one of my shows when I had no idea there is a meeting" she rasped swiftly

"What meeting are you speaking about??" We walk to the elevator with the others and sends getting their way

"An email was sent, you didn't check yours?? Oh, dear" she holds her chest dramatically

I roll my eyes, bringing out my phone. The elevator tumbles a little and the phone slip off my fingers

"Dammit" I swore hard before scrunching down and picking the phone up

The screen, which was cracked a little thanks to Jaycee is now fully cracked

"Oh dear" Monique exclaimed seeing the screen

It was early Monday morning and I didn't need my day to be spoiled. I keep my hand into my bag blowing a breeze that wasn't there and a smile appeared on my face

The elevator opened to our floor, and we walked out of it straight to the office

The others were sitting around close to each other, and they all are speaking with solemn on their faces

"Good morning" I greeted cheerfully as I always do

There wasn't a single smile from either of them which doesn't happen often unless one person lost a cat or a dog or something similar to that

"She doesn't know yet" Monique walked to her seat dropping herself there with a loud sigh

"You all are weird right now" I drop my bag to my desk and without waiting for anything I walk to where they all are gathered "What happened? What is wrong and what is with all these faces??" I questioned them

"Zendaya honey we are all doomed" Mina the one with blonde hair that never stops talking, said dramatically

"What happened" I looked at every one of them waiting for some sort of explanation

The way all of them were acting my hand is suddenly on my chest as I wait for the news they are apart to deliver

"We are doomed Daya, the company is sold," Solomon said

"What??". I exclaimed in shock, the shock radiating all over my body

I held on to the herm of the seats as my mind was suddenly blank. God, what will I do??

"They sold to one of the big companies and the takeover is today, they are coming over to supervise the workers," Korra said

My hold on the seat became harder, I grip it with my full stand as my leg were shaky too

They sold? Oh my god, I just lost my job right the moment I needed it more

I look at everyone here with the sadness on their faces. They all graduated in finance, if the new company decides to keep them they wouldn't want to keep someone who dropped out in her 3rd year in college

Oh god, what will my life become? What about my son?

"I think they are here already" Mina exclaims loudly and everyone is running to the window.

I walk to the window where they are all gathered and look out too.

Five men are standing in front of the office all dressed in black suits and looking as serious as they can

Mostly face the other way, so we can't see them from where we are watching from

"Oh dear this was so unexpected, and I don't know how to feel" Mina put her hand to her chest in expectation

I watch as they turn the other way heading towards the big meeting hall down the floors

Holding to my leg I walk to my seat settling down with my hands shaky from the whole scenario

"I think these people are not here to play, they are being serious with these takeover bids," Mina said shaking her head

My eyes wander to where they all are standing, they have hope they will still be here meanwhile I will be thrown out as soon as possible

I stood up from my seat and all eyes are on me "Umm excuse me for a minute" I walk out of the office hall as fast as my legs would carry me

walking to the restroom my feet are so fast, I rush to the sink dipping my head low in thinking

Tears threaten to fall through my eyes, but I am still keeping myself in check. All I need to do right now is to have a plan for the next few days, I am going to go back to collecting coffees and whatever job I did to survive before getting this one

I open the door to the bathroom and stop shut as I sight two men standing still together

They are both turned back, so I couldn't see their faces but with the cold suit, I can see right now one of them has to be the man from the takeovers

I stood still, my feet unmoving as I watched them. They are discussing and for some reason, I don't move I just keep standing

The one with the cold black suit tapped the other one on his shoulder. He was shaking his head, which means he was laughing

"Good work," he said, his voice very deep

"Any day anytime," The other one with the formal wear said

I can recognize that voice anywhere I go to, he is the new manager who started working here about three months ago. Icy man. His voice is commanding, and he wants everything to be done his way

I always wondered why such a man who doesn't have respect for any of the workers has the guts to be a senior staff talk more like a manager

He spoke something to him and Mr. Warren is laughing sarcastically

Suddenly the other one turned back. I hid behind the wall, my heart beating loudly. Why am I hiding?

I didn't even see his face well but was suddenly scared, so I crept inside the bathroom and cursed out when the door banged

"What the hell" I held it in place, the door closing right through

I held my breath as I heard the outer door crack open. Oh, God! Don't tell me they are inside this place

I hear the kicking of each door here and my breath is shallow as I wait for this door to be kicked

Suddenly the noise stopped. I heard the banging of the outer door.

"Thank God" I finally released the breath I didn't know I was holding

"You can come out now" a voice so thick and husky said directly in front of the door

"Shit" I cursed out closing my eyes tightly as I grip the doorknob

Why am I even hiding here? I didn't do anything, so why am I hiding?

I crack the door open slowly until I am standing outside it. My face is down, and I can see a black leather shoe and I am refusing to look up

"Who are you??" He asked in a raucous voice

"I am umm I work here" I answered, my voice shaky

"Then why are you looking down?" He said flatly, his voice controlled

Slowly making my way, I raised my head up and slowly opened my eyes to look at him,

I haven't seen an eye so blue. The depth of it is deafening, his blue eyes are peering watching controlling

It felt like the air had been sucked out of my body as I watched him. His eyes are suddenly dim and peering so hard at me,

I squint under his hard gaze, feeling skittish at the mere sight of him

I feel the breath in me sucked out so hard as he took a step closer to me and I am walking back

"Who are you??" His gaze was demeaning as he pinned me with them

"I already told you that I work here" I answered as sharply as I could, feeling his intense gaze on me,

I feel him straighten, and I look up as he does so

The man was tall, too freakish tall for his good. His hair is light brown, and his nose is straight and pointy. The blue of his eyes is so deep and fiery as he stares at me

His lips are curled up into nothing and his expression flat

He is good-looking, I noted. For a man, he is freaking handsome. His oval face is so heightening making him look almost adorable

Adorable? Really? Adorable is a word used for babies like Jaycee and not a grown-ass man

He has stopped peering at me and now has taken a step back

"What did you hear??" He asks in a commanding tone

"What??" I move my eyes to him, "What are you talking about?? " I asked confused

"You are telling me you heard nothing or merely been pretentious" His eyes were still pinned on me,

I swallowed hard then shook my head negatively

"I didn't hear a word. I was just coming out from the restroom when I heard voices I swear I didn't hear a thing"

"Why did you go back inside then" his voice so penetrating asked

"I umm I don't know, I swear I don't"

His jaded eyes are back to me as a frown appears on his face. He put his hand into his pocket and with the way, his eyes are rolling at me, he is accessing me and my looks right now

"I surely hope so" he turned back and walked out of the restroom

I took a massive breath holding the wall close to me

How can one person have such an intimidating presence? Oh my God, for a moment I thought I cannot breathe

After making sure am all calm I opened the restroom door and walked out as fast as my legs could carry me.
