I'm The Legal Wife

Jayzee was already at the office at seven o'clock Monday morning. His whole family was not there yet because their flight back was just now. He did nothing all weekend but watch sports on the cable channel and swim in the pool. he was not in the mood to go to the club so he stayed at the condo for those two days. For the first time in his adult life, I think he had some 'me' time.

He was still far away when he saw the bright light near his room. he saw Anikka sipping her coffee while looking at the screen monitor and her back leaned on her swivel chair. He thinks it's getting better every day. He also noticed that he had lost his innocence and that his gaze was no longer as intense as before.

"Good    morning,"    he greeted her. It seemed that he was surprised by his appearance which he did not expect because it was still early.

"Good morning," he greeted back. "Coffee?" offer it to him. He sat on the edge of her table and smiled.

"Would you allow me to sip on your coffee cup?" he asked. Every time he attracts her, she quickly makes an excuse to avoid it. But he will not allow it to be just like that. As time goes on, he is more and more challenged by this woman who doesn't seem to care about his charisma.

"No," he answered quickly making him smile even more.

"Why not?    I don't have a contagious disease."

"I'll just make you," he answered. But before he could stand up, he took the papercup and brought it to his lips.

"Iced coffee in the morning?" he frowned as it must have been cold. He immediately placed the glass on the table.

"I prefer cold," he replied. He waits for the girl to take it to drink. Maybe he was embarrassed so he was forced to take a sip again.

"Now you just tasted my lips, sweetheart," he said smiling while still holding the glass. He also saw the reddening of her face. "How does it taste?"

"Coffee taste," he just shrugged his shoulders and focused his eyes on the screen again. he was even more irritated by her reactions. He quickly stood up and headed to his office. "We'll talk about my schedule today, Anikka," he said while walking.

In less than five minutes, he entered his office holding a ballpoint pen and some folders. he stood up and sat on the edge of the table in front of it.

"What's my schedule for today, sweetheart?"

"You only have three meetings today because Mr. del Mundo suddenly canceled yesterday," he answered.

"Yesterday was Sunday, Anikka."

"He called at my number," he answered, making her frown even more.

"He's calling you off office hours?" He gave Anikka a company phone for her to use. he lost his mind that clients would use to call him even when he was out of work.

"Just to cancel the meeting today," he immediately explained.

"Is Oliver calling you often?" he immediately asked, referring to the supplier who was often now in front of his table.

"Sort of." He shrugged his shoulders again. He cursed the secret.

"Add to my schedule later my visit to Zenclub at six o'clock," he said and returned to the swivel chair. "You're going with me," he added.

"It's not during work hours, Jayzee," he denied as she expected. he ignored it but started to open the folders he was carrying.

"You will take the minutes of the meeting from now on," he also ordered that his father's secretary used to do. "You'll be with me at the conference room later."

"Suddenly, I guess?" it said with a smile. He, on the other hand, frowned in annoyance at the thought of always talking to Oliver when he was not in the office.

"That's part of your job as my secretary. I didn't just give birth to you right away because you were new."

"Okay, boss," he seemed to be teasing him because he was still smiling while he was serious. "Do you need anything else?"

"I need a coffee," he said without looking at the girl.

"Hot or cold?" it asked. he looked at her and saw that she was amused by the visible annoyance in him.

"I don't drink cold coffee, sweetheart." He stared at it intently. "I want it as 'hot' as you." He emphasized the last word but she still didn't react. He disappeared into his office for a while before he returned with a cup of coffee.

"Here's your hot coffee, sir," he teased. He stood up and met her.

"Is this as hot as you?" he asked comfortingly and purposely took her hand as he handed her the cup. If he thought he would be alone in the teasing, he was mistaken. And if that Oliver thinks that he will be ahead of the girl, he is also mistaken. he's not Jayzee Albano if other men can outdo him.

"You decide," he replied while waiting for her to sip the coffee to answer his question.

"I can't decide yet," he said after taking a sip. the truth is that he was slightly burned because the coffee was still hot. But he has to stand by what's in his mind.

"Why not?" it seems like a challenge to him.

"Because I haven't tasted you," he said almost in a whisper and automatically put one hand around her waist and kissed her to the shock of the girl. He immediately placed the cup on the table and raised one hand to the nape of her neck to emphasize the kiss even more. to his surprise, Anikka responded in the only way she knew that made him lose his sanity even more. They both catch their breath afterwards. "I think you're hotter," he said quickly to remove the embarrassment from both of them. he didn't answer but quickly turned around and left his room.

He sat on the swivel chair afterwards. Her mouth was sweet; a mixture of mint and coffee. One of his curiosity about Anikka has been answered – how she kisses and what her kisses taste like. he was sure that was her first. He smiled and felt proud. He promises it won't be the first or the last.

Welcome to my world, Anikka Merced... she said to herself.
