Janitors Closet [gxg]

☆Chapter Twenty Four

   "I want to take you out. My treat to make up for yesterday"

   "What about Lianne?" She asked softly

   "Don't worry. We're done" I knew she could hear the hesitance and insecure tone of my voice. I drummed my fingers on the end of the phone holding my breath until she responded

   "Okay" she finally spoke, "pick me up around 7" I heard a man's voice in the background and she hung up, not even giving me a chance to respond

♡

   I stared at myself in the mirror taking in my curves, the way my rolled up slacks hugged my thighs and hips, my shirt and blazer that clung to my every curve. I did a 360 spin mentally complimenting myself and completing my look with silver bangles. OH SHIT it was 6:45. I sped downstairs quickly making sure all doors were locked.

   I circled the car opening her door as I made my way back to mine. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

   "Ms. Decosta--"

   "Laura. Call me Laura" She gave me a nervous grin looking down at her hands

   "Laura, you're beautiful"

    She looked up at me searching my eyes to make sure it was a genuine compliment. I smiled reassuringly and sped off.

   I watched her hips sway as she walked past me into the restaurant. I tried to avert my eyes from her gorgeous figure before she turned around causing me to rapidly blush

   "Caught you for the fourth time"

   I watched her with a puzzled look before recalling the many times she turned around too soon. My blushing intensified as we were led to our private table on the balcony

   "So... how have you been?" I asked in my attempt to make conversation

   She stared ahead with a uncertain look on her face as if contemplating her reply

   "Things have been fine...." I gave her a small nod "...im married" she added that part a little quietly as though she were relieving some guilt but also to not be heard.

   "I know"

   She looked into my eyes, searching for a reaction. "How is he?" I broke eye contact to take  a sip of my water. I ignored the relentless pang of jealously at the pit of my stomach as I rested my cup.

   "He's okay. We get along but recently......"

   She trailed off, distracted by something. I took out my phone patiently only to see 13 texts from Lianne. "Busy" I texted back returning my phone to my wallet.

   "Sorry" I muttered, getting her attention again

   "Huh? No its fine" she looked down at the menu. I knew she wasnt really reading in.  I laid my hand on top of hers, rubbing light reassuring circles. I expected her to pull back but instead she gripped my hand giving it a light squeeze.

   My head shot up as the waiter cleared her throat with an agitated look. What the hell was her problem. Laura snatched her hand back startled by the sudden approach and I  looked at the waiter with a hint of disapproval.

   "What would you like to drink?"

   We both ordered sodas and I turned my head to the direction of the giggle being heard from across the table

  "Whats so funny" I half demanded, squinting my eyes

   "N-n-nothing" she tried to blurt out between fits of laughter. "She w-was definitely checking you out a-and you, you shot her this stank eye" her laughter intensified as she doubled over clutching her stomach. This earned a low amused chuckle from me.
