Chapter 38
Tatum's POV:
I smile brightly as I walk up to the floozy.
"Hi I'm_"I start but she cuts me off.
"Oh I know who you are. You're Tatum right.Daughter of Mr Cornelius.I'm Abigail, your father's personal assistant."She says.
"Nice to meet you, Abigail. I'm also the fiance of Mr Carter."I say politely as I show her my ring and smile at her brightly.
She gives me a fake smile.
"Oh yes, I know that.You're so lucky."She says smiling at me with a complete facade. I can hear by the tone of her voice that she's annoyed.
"Do you?You seem to be really comfortable with Brandon."I say getting rid of all the professionalism of the situation.
"Mmm.He's such a kind, loving, generous man."She says while grinning in an impudent manner. Oh yes it just got personal. She literally has no respect, not for me, not for Brandon and by the way she dresses, definitely not herself.
"Oh is he?Well I think that you're a little too friendly."
"Really?"She scoffs.
"Actually your whole persona is not work appropriate."I say sternly.
"What is it Tatum?Do you feel threatened?"She asks sassily. She knows that Brandon and I are together, but she has no respect whatsoever. Fucking homewrecker. Okay just stay calm Tatum.
"You do realise that I'm still one of your bosses right."I state and her smirk is wiped off her face immediately. She goes completely silent.
"And if I felt threatened by you I would've had you gone by now. All I'm asking is for you to keep your hands to yourself and your meagre legs closed. It's simple."I say with a sinister smile on my face.
She opens her mouth to say something but I didn't give her the chance.
"_Just keep your hands to yourself or you'll have no hands left."My tone becoming quieter yet menacing.
I wink at her and then walk away. That felt good. I said what I had to say.
I walk back to Sapphire and Stacey and they look overexcited.
"Oh god, what did you say to her? Poor thing she looks terrified."Sapphire says biting her lip trying to hold in her laughter.
"Well done Tatum."Stacey cheers.
"Okay calm down I didn't even do anything.I just informed her about how I felt and I put the floozy in her place ."I say not being able to keep in my smirk.
"I wanna hear all about it, but right now you get your man and we will try to calm that poor floozy."Stacey says pushing me towards Brandon's office saying the last part sarcastically.
"Okay wait,but_"I'm cut off by Sapphire.
"Just go."
I roll my eyes and walk towards Brandon's office. I look back at them and they're talking to Miss Floozy.
I take a deep breath in before walking into his office without knocking.
He stands up to greet me, but I abruptly sit down opposite him.
"Okay,what happened?"Brandon asks referring to my behaviour.
"What happened? Why don't you tell me?"I ask accusingly.
"I don't understand."Brandon says confused.
I stand up from my seat and move to stand in front of him.
"Does Abigail ring a bell?"I ask.
"Abi- your dad's assistant."
"Abigail yes Abigail the same floozy touching you inappropriately and you don't even seem bothered?!"I raise my voice in disbelief.
"Tatum."He says while standing up from his office chair.
"Tatum what?"I ask.
"Tatum you shouldn't stress yourself out like this. It's not healthy for you and the baby."He says.
"What,so I'm just supposed to be okay with it?"
"There is no 'it' nothing's going on you shouldn't be worried.I love you and only you."He says and tries to take my hand but I pull away from him.
"So what was all that? She was all over you."I state the obvious.
"You shouldn't think too much about it,Abigail flirts with everyone around the office."He says.
"Well that doesn't make it okay."I say.
"It doesn't,but you know that I wouldn't touch any other woman besides you.I've told her months ago to stop this behaviour, but she just doesn't listen."He says.
"This has been going on for months already and you never told me? Okay I'm gonna kill her."I say and make my way to the door. Who does she think she is?
As my fingers graze the door handle Brandon pulls me back into a hug.
"Brandon get off me. I'm still mad at you."I say and try to push him off me, but he won't let go.
He rests his head on my shoulder saying:"As much as it amuses me and adds to my ego, you shouldn't be jealous.I love you.I only have eyes for you Tatum."He says and I take in his scent. How am I supposed to be mad at him when he smells so good.
"I'm not jealous."I say.
He pulls away to look at me.
"It's okay to be a little jealous sometimes."He says and I roll my eyes.
"I'm not jealous. I just don't like her. She's so disrespectful. She doesn't care that we're together. She's a fucking home wrecker and it pisses me off."I say moving away from him.
"Well she's not wrecking our home okay. Did you talk to her?"He asks.
"Of course I spoke to her. She didn't care at all.How can people be so heartless. I just don't understand.She wants to take you away from me and..."I start but couldn't speak further because I felt a lump in my throat.
Brandon was quickly by my side.
"It's okay Tatum. Nobody can take me away from you. Nobody. I'm yours and only yours. You have my heart Tatum."He says holding me against his chest.
"I'm sorry for crying it's just I'm really emotional right now as it is with the pregnancy so..."
"No it's okay,you don't have to apologise. I'll deal with Abigail. I'll talk to your dad.This has gone on for too long."He says and I can hear by the tone of his voice that he is not happy that I'm upset.I pull away and wipe my tears then look up at him.
"I don't think you have to...I kinda already did. I'm sure by the look on her face that she wouldn't try anything again."And with every word I said, my emotions and mood change from sad to exuberantly pleased.
"What did you do?"He asks the corner of his lips tugging up.
"Nothing I just put her in her place."I say with a chuckle.
He pulls me in for another hug laughing as well.
"There's my wild fire."He says and plants a kiss against my forehead.
"You should've seen her face."I burst out laughing and then told him all about it.
Turns out I wasn't mad at Brandon anymore, because there was no reason to be. She was just a plain old floozy. She's the type of person that needs the ego validation of getting any man she wants.Luckily for me she's not getting this one. He's all mine.
"You're so beautiful you know that."He says and I blush.
"Even when you angry or sad. No matter what your beauty never disappears and I just want you to know that you don't have to be on guard all the time, because I'm in love with you. Wholeheartedly. Deeply. Completely in love with you."He says reassuringly and I can't help but to stare into those eyes of his. The way he looks at me makes me feel like I'm the most precious thing in the world.
I caress his cheek with my hand, smiling at him sweetly.
"I love you too. So much that I would get jealous. Yes I admit it,but wouldn't you feel the same way if another guy was touching me and flir_"
"I'd be fuming and probably broke his nose and his d_"
"Okay I get it."I cut his off.
"Now, I came early to your office for a reason."I say biting my lip and then getting off Brandon's lap.
I walk alluringly over to his office lounger and sit down crossing my leg over the other. Since my dress is a wrap around, it looks like there's a slit in my dress. So automatically the material falls down revealing more skin of my thigh.
Brandon makes his way to the door and locks it softly then heads over to where I'm seated,but instead of joining me on the seat he bends down in front of me and reaches for my shoes.
"Your feet must be hurting, you've been at the mall all day. I can't have my baby's feet hurting."He says and slowly takes off my heels,one by one.
He places them aside and then starts massaging my feet. That actually feels really relaxing.
"You have amazing legs."He says biting him bottom lip.
"Hey don't get distracted."I say teasingly playing with the ends of the thin ribbon holding this dress together. With just one pull from an end this dress could fall off and Brandon knows that very well.
"How can I not when I have a goddess in front of me."He says with a sigh of aspiration.
"Tell me about it."I urge on for him to speak, to tell me what he wants.
"I've had so many fantasies about her in my office and now I finally have that opportunity."He says, lightly grazing his fingers up my legs sending chills through me.
"Really?"I ask softly.
"Yes. I dreamt of taking her on my desk and right on this couch."He says looking up at me his eyes darkening.
"Well do you have her where you want her?"I ask. It takes a lot in me to hold back. I want him to let go first.
"I do now."He says smoothly and starts trailing warm kisses up my revealed thigh.
Before I knew it his lips were on mine.He couldn't handle the temptation anymore and went for it. He loosened my dress and was evidently pleased with what he found underneath.
...
A while after we just sat still in each others arms with my head resting against his chest. My breathing matching the rise and fall of his chest as I listen to his heartbeat.
I draw circles onto his chest with my finger enjoying our intimacy.
"I wish we could stay in this moment forever, but we have things to do and places to go."I say and get up, but he pulls me back.
"One last kiss."He says and I peck his lips, but he takes my face into his palm and he kisses me passionately.
I pull away to catch my breath.
"Okay, okay stop. If we go on like this, we'll never make it out of here. Come on. We have to go."I say and slip on my dress.
We get ready to leave freshening up before we make our way out the door.
As we walk out of the door I see that Stacey and Sapphire are still talking to Abigail_I mean Floozy.
"You go ahead, I just need to go see Malcolm then I'll be right back."Brandon says and I nod then he pecks my lips and walks off.
I head over to Sapphire and Stacey. As I get closer I over hear what Stacey says to Abigail.
"...And that's why you shouldn't step on her toes, because she'll turn into a spit fire."Stacey lectures and Abigail nods looking a bit calmer than before.
"Here she is."Sapphire says as I reach them.
"I_I should get back to work."Abigail stutters.
I give her a quick smile.
"Ladies, ready to go?"I turn to Sapphire and Stacey and they nod and Abigail walks off.
"Are you from Tennessee, because you're the only 10 I see."I here a manly voice speak with a country accent from behind me.
I turn around to look at him. He has bright brown eyes, short dirty blonde hair and I have to say a very nice, strong physique. He also has a suit on so I know he works here.
He scans me up and down with a smirk on his face.
"Nice one."I say crossing my arms over my chest.
"I'm no photographer, but I can picture us together.What would you say if I asked you on a date sweetheart?"He says and I roll my eyes to that pick up line.
Before I can reply back Sapphire answers for me with an attitude.
"Don't even think about it macker, she's your boss' daughter."
I feel a hand slip around my waist and before I know it Brandon is next to me holding me close.
"And your other boss' fiancee."Brandon says earnestly.Marking your territory aren't you Brandon.Who's jealous now?
The man's face expression changes completely and smiles awkwardly then walks off.
"Commitment sucks."Stacey says suddenly and we realised why. She was gawking at Mr. Pick up lines. Sapphire and I laugh at her words, Brandon silent.
"I know right."I agree with Stacey teasing Brandon.
"Hey!"
"I'm joking babe. I love you."I say and kiss him on the cheek.
"It wasn't funny."He says as we walk towards the elevator.
"It kinda was."Sapphire says.
"Your friends are bad influencers."Brandon jokes and I elbow him in the side.
"Okay I take that back."He says swallowing his words.
If only he knew that my early visit was their idea.
...
We drove separately. Brandon took his car and the girls are with me. The guys will meet us at the cafe.
"So tells us. How was it?"Stacey asks slumming on the back seats.
"Yes. We want all the dirty details."Sapphire says next to me excitedly.
"Oh god relax."I quickly glance at her then focus my eyes back on the road.
"Stop the car."Sapphire says.
"Why?"
"Stop the car I'm going to throw up!"Sapphire shouts and I immediately stomp on the breaks. She quickly gets out then makes her way to the drivers door.
"Hey whats your problem?!"Stacey shouts from the back.
"What?"I ask confused.
"Move over."She says and looks completely fine to me.
"Why?"
"Just move over!"She demands.
"Fine okay."I do as she says and move over to the passenger seat and she gets into the drivers seat.
She shuts the door puts her seat belt on then faces me.
"I'll drive, you can't stay focused on the road while you reminisce about what you and Brandon did."She says cheekily.
I roll my eyes at her. She's so dramatic.
"Now put your seat belt on and tell us everything."Sapphire orders and do so and we were on our way.
"We're waiting.Were you oscillating the unmentionables?"Sapphire asks excitedly. What does that even mean? Oh god.
"Yeah Tatum tell us.How was your afternoon delight?"Stacey joins in.
"Oh come on. You too Stacey?"I ask in disbelief.
"Were you and Brandon trom-boning?"Stacey goes on and with that both of them just kept on.Stacey then Sapphire, Stacey then Sapphire. Over and over again.
"Were you boinking?"
"Squishin' the gibbly bits?"
"Did he cave dive?"
"Slam the clam?"
"This is harassment!"I say but I'm talking to brick walls.
"Jumping bones?"
"Lust and thrust?"
"Did you do the nasty?"
"Did he fill the cream donut?"
"For fucks sake, enough!Fine I'll tell you, just shut up please."I say in an exasperated tone and they both chuckle.
Dammit, can't get anything past these two.
...
After what felt like a long drive and telling my two officious best friends about my encounter with Brandon we finally arrived at the cafe.I did enjoy my time with Brandon indeed, but it was a bit hard containing my moan. I had to bit my lip so hard it felt like I was going to draw blood. I also told Brandon that he should get sound proof walls.
Lunch was really good. Richard and Marcos are really nice men. They're good matches for Sapphire and Stacey. We enjoyed lunch and good conversation then everyone headed on their way.
Today was a really good day. Great day actually.
Brandon was right, we did come out on the other side together. We made it.
