Playing Games
RENEE
I laughed as I dropped my cell phone into my pocket and exited the restroom.
I’d achieved my goal. If Robert was horny and had a raging hard-on, as he claimed, it would be impossible for him to concentrate in that meeting.
‘You’re so evil, Renee.’ My subconscious intervened, and I scoffed.
‘You’re also very mischievous. I guess your hot Daddy brings out the worst in you, unlike Dylan, haha…’ My subconscious chimed once more, and I nodded in agreement this time because she was correct.
It surprised me how eager I was to do naughty things, which I’d have never considered on a normal day. But well, this was the result of a certain dark-haired, blue-eyed man who made my panties wet.
“Yes!” As I returned to my server station in the restaurant, I squealed again, my hands flailing.
“What has you grinning like a fool?” Sally, one of the waitresses asked and I chuckled.
She had no idea. She didn’t.
“Not much, Sally.” I replied, adding. “I’m just feeling good.”
“Hmmm… You didn’t have this particular smile on your face when you walked to the restroom, but now-”
“Sally-” I burst out laughing, giving her a sly look, and she scoffed.
“Whatever. I’m going to the restroom, so please cover for me.” She muttered as she dropped the plates in her hands and as I watched her walk away, I let out a massive sigh of relief that she hadn’t pried any further.
It wouldn’t have been easy to keep to myself.
Ding… ding… The cell phone in my pocket vibrated with an incoming text, and I sharply brought it out.
I unlocked the device and rolled my eyes when I saw it was a text from Robert. I opened the text message, and my eyes bulged.
Robert: I’m coming to get you.
Oh, god! This was like a nightmare coming true. What the? Robert was coming to get me? He was coming to the restaurant. No! I couldn’t afford to see him right now, and-
Without wasting more time, I quickly texted him, my fingers trembling.
Me: Please do not come. I’m very busy at work and can’t afford any distractions.
Hands still shaking, I sent the text, which he quickly read and began typing a response right away.
Robert: Oh, you can’t afford any distractions right now, and you’re suddenly busy at work. But you weren’t busy when you sent me nudes earlier right?
Reading this text in his voice, I could tell he was being sarcastic.
Me: Please, Robert… I apologize for interfering with your meeting, but I was thinking of you. Please do not come here.
Robert: I’m thinking of you too, baby girl, which is why I’m coming to see you. I suppose I won’t have to wait until Thursday.
Me: Please, Robert, don’t.
Robert: I’m on my way, and there’s nothing I can do about it now.
Me: You could return to the office by turning the car around. Please, Robert. Please.
I typed away, hoping he’d get my message, but Robert was one hell of a stubborn male and he wasn’t backing down at all
Robert: Damn! I enjoy seeing you beg, baby girl. But you asked for this, so you should eat the cake you made.
He texted sarcastically again, and I was at a loss for words as my mind became jumbled.
I pretended he was playing a joke on me and that this was all a game, but I knew Robert. He was always true to his word.
My phone vibrated with another text from him, and I glanced down.
Robert: I’m almost there. You know I’m familiar with your workplace, which is conveniently close to mine. I’ll see you in a minute, baby girl.
Me: Please, please, Robert, don’t come. I swear I’ll never taunt you like that again. You can punish me for this the next time we see each other, I swear, but just don’t come. Please, Robert…
I quickly typed the text and sent it to him. I waited for a response, then realized he wouldn’t be sending one back.
He was on his way. There were no two ways about it, and at that blatant realization, my heart slammed in my chest as I tried to imagine what would happen if he walked into this restaurant.
What would my colleagues think, and how would they react?
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I cursed again, drawing the attention of two waitresses standing nearby.
“Is anything the matter, Renee?” They asked.
“Not really.” I blurted out, waving my hands at them and ruffling my hair at the same time, already restless.
I started looking around the half-empty restaurant for my manager, hoping to explain in case Robert really did come, but she was nowhere to be found.
Panicking, I looked back at the two waitresses next to me and asked, “Where’s Mrs. Andrew?”
“Oh my gosh!” One of the waitresses exclaimed and I furrowed my brow.
“What?” I asked.
The second waitress whistled, and I noticed they were looking at something behind me.
“No way… no way…” I muttered to myself. I didn’t move as I listened to them continue to talk about the good-looking customer who’d just walked in. I refused to look toward the door, though it was hard to restrain myself.
“Damn, Georgia, this man is hot.”
“He exudes rich, hot sugar daddy vibes. It’s not every day a billionaire walks through the doors of this run-down restaurant. Fuck if I don’t get to serve him.” Georgia said, primping her hair.
“Wait, what! I’m about to serve him…”
Still rooted to the spot where I’d been standing for quite some time, I listened as my coworkers fawned over the handsome stranger. I could tell they were talking about Robert, and a cool chill ran down my spine.
I slowly turned around, facing the restaurant’s entrance, and that’s when I noticed him-looking dashing and as hot as sin.
He was coming straight from his office, still dressed in his custom dark suit and white dress shirt with the top two buttons undone.
His hair was gel-slicked back, and the faint stubble under his chin made him appear younger than he was. My thighs began to shake.
I took a step forward, considering what to do since he hadn’t noticed me yet, and just at the same time, he took his seat. That was when all hell broke loose. Everything that happened next proceeded in slow motion as he lifted his face, and ignored the two ladies in front of him.
He stared ahead, straight at me, and our gazes locked.
Deep blue eyes bore into my brown ones, and I shivered in place, my entire body vibrating, as he shot me a warning smirk.
Gosh! What the hell have I gotten myself into?
