Khadejah
A Month Later
Seth had been a true gentleman ever since he took me to dinner. I was starting to warm up to him at the encouragement from my friend Regina. I had grown to look forward to my time at the lounge. I never felt this free working in the lawyer’s office back home in Gadsden.
I took a long deep sigh of relief as I climbed down from the stage. It appeared my customers were beginning to increase and so were their demands. I was taken aback when a customer made a request the previous night, one of my hysterical male customers made a request of me giving him a kiss. Of course, I declined. But the request he made was for me to sing a song but strip as I sang said song… I don’t know what he smoked before he arrived, but he had me all wrong. While I thought it was one of the most absurd things ever requested because the lounge wasn’t even that sort of business. However, I granted his wish for the song he requested hoping at the back of my mind Seth doesn't come around to watch. Sometimes he made me nervous with his unwavering stare when I performed. My body became flushed all over in his presence no matter how much I told myself I wasn’t affected by his charms.
It felt great doing what I loved to do otherwise. Deep down, I know if I had never broken up with Darren, I would have never followed my dream to be a singer. A chill suddenly traveled down my spine. That’s when I looked over and I saw Seth searing a hot piercing gaze on me from the dimly lit lounge from where he sat.
My heart skipped a beat. I felt awkward, I didn't know when I began missing lyrics until I got a sign from the pianist that put me back on track. Luckily, the crowd was too excited they didn't notice I continued through aware of Seth’s gaze on me until I hit the last note and bid the customers a good night.
Finally, I saw Seth stepping hastily out of the almost dark space, pushing his way through in the din of people surrounded everywhere. I prolonged what I was saying just so I could monitor the angle he took and when I did, I decided not to go close to that part of the building.
“Nice performance tonight, Dejah!” The bartender complimented as I stopped by the bar to order me a water with lemon.
“Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed,” I said in reply as he placed my drink on the counter in front of me. “Delicious!” I spoke and finished drinking the refreshing drink.
The bartender smiled. “Let me know if I can get you anything else, okay.”
“Okay thanks,” I responded before standing to make my way towards the restroom.
“Hey Khadejah, can I have a word with you?” I heard a husky voice call out to me and I halted in my steps.
My heart soared when I turned to face him. My nipples hardened, my panties became damp and my clit pulsed in delight when I glanced up at his handsome face. His green eyes held an intense look. I cleared my throat and tried to keep my voice professional. I was fidgeting terribly from the closeness between us. “Hello, Mr. Redding.” I greeted him with formality. “I wanted to speak with you too.”
“Oh you do, about what?” He asked.
“Although I enjoyed our dinner, I don’t think you were entirely honest about taking the new employees out to dinner. I don’t want any special treatment.”
Seth laughed, and the way he chuckled made my hair stand on end. I knew that he knew I was trying to keep it formal and keep away from him. It's been weeks since the dinner, and so far, I had tried to keep my distance, but Seth popped up everywhere. He was wearing me down little by little.
“Do you think you could spare me ten minutes of your time? I'd like to have a talk with you. Alone,” he said straightforwardly.
“Um, sure. Is there anything wrong sir?” I asked wanting to get the conversation over and done with immediately.
“Please let's use my office, it will give us more privacy.”
My mind rang a warning bell at the sound of “privacy.”
“Alright,” I replied and allowed him to lead me into the sanctuary of his office.
He opened the door, stepped aside and waited for me to go in, then he shut the door behind us. My pulse started racing, I didn't know what he was up to. One part of me loathed the close proximity between us, but the other half craved for his touch and kisses.
