SOME DAYS LATER
Kassidy
“Thanks girl, for meeting me this evening,” I say to Anita as we sit at a table at the ‘Zin Zam Bar and Lounge’.
“No problem, honey. I can use a drink or three after the day I had.”
“What can I get for you ladies?” The waitress asks.
“I would like a quarter pound sirloin burger with the sweet potato fries,” I waste no time in placing my order. I already knew what I wanted when I arrived.
“I will have the same,” pipes in Anita.
“What to drink?” The waitress asks.
“I will have a Pink Lady of Montenegro,” I say of the cocktail that contains a mixture of rum, grilled strawberry, lime, and Amaro. “Order anything you want Anita. Tonight is my treat.
“I’ll have the cranberry and vodka,” Anita adds. “ Thanks, my friend!” She gives me a big smile that I readily return.
“Great! I’ll return with your meals and drinks soon,” the waitress replies before strolling off to fulfill our orders.
“So, what’s going on with your job? Are you acclimating well?”
I let out a long breath. “Nita, I don’t know if I’m going or coming at times. Whenever I’m around Nikolai or Dirk, it feels as if I’m stepping into a fiery furnace.”
“That’s because you have the hots for your two billionaire Alfa bosses. The sooner you admit it, the better off you will be, honey.”
“That’s just it, I do feel a strong chemistry with both of them. Even though Dirk acts like an ass most times, I still feel strongly attracted to him. But, I have no room in my life for complications.”
“Kass, I understand. It’s best to not mix business with pleasure. Those rules spoke, or unspoken, are in place for a reason. But you know me, I don’t give a shit about the rules. Life is too short. Let loose, and—”
“Here are your orders,” the waitress places our orders and drinks on the table cutting off Anita’s words.
“Thank you,” we say in unison.
“Enjoy your meal and if you need anything else just let me know.”
We nod and wait until the waitress leaves before resuming our conversation.
“Now, what was I saying?” Anita bites into her burger while I stuff a fry in my mouth.
“You were saying something about letting loose.”
“Oh yeah! Kass, you need not to think so hard. I would give an arm for two hot men to set their sights on me.”
“I’m not one hundred percent sure that they have set their sights on me. Do you remember me telling you about that Terrance guy that I thought was interested in me when I was in college?”
“Yeah, I remember,” Anita grins and arches a brow inquiringly.
“Well, I thought he liked me— I mean a lot. We even went out on a couple of dates. I was devastated when he said he loved being my friend and could I set him up with my roommate, Evect.”
“Terrance was a jerk to string you along just to get close to your roommate. Why didn’t he just talk to her himself instead of getting you in the middle?” Anita gives me a disgruntled look.
“Because she had a boyfriend that went to a different University. Evect was committed to her boyfriend. They had been dating since she was sixteen. Terrance wanted me to sway her into giving him a chance.”
“God damn fucking piece of shit!” Anita says angrily.
