Alice's Book Club (BWWM)

Suprise

Alice

'There is always tomorrow' Those words kept ringing in my head all night I barely got any sleep. I read my emails for the 5th time forcing myself to pay attention. After all work didn't stop just because, I'm dating the boss. "Alice, could you come here please?" Jared called out, I walked into his office as he was holding up two ties one black one navy blue. "Pick?" He asked "Well both look great" I replied he was wearing a white button down shirt with navy blue slacks and I assumed the matching jacket was hanging somewhere. "Black" I grabbed the black one and began to put it on him, "So what's going on?...you got a big meeting or something?" I asked hoping to get to the bottom of whatever he had planned. "Why as a matter of fact I do and I just want to look perfect" He replied, I fixed his tie and released him to get his jacket, he pulled it off perfectly it wouldn't have mattered if I picked the blue instead. "Well you nailed it" I complimented "Thank you doll" he winked at me "Doll? Huh...Can I get your coffee mister?" I put on the high pitched accent I would see old diner waitress or Harley Quinn use. "Cute" He smirked and kissed my cheek, "So who is this meeting with?" I asked, as both a concerned secretary and curious girlfriend. "Oh I'm sorry it's a secret" He walked to the mirror in his office and straightened out his clothes. "Aww your no fun" I pouted RING RING. "Saved by the bell" he smiled, "Lucky" I walked out the office to my phone and got back to work.

I have been around the world twice and yet no view can compete with sight of Alice's plump ass swishing in her grey pencil skirt. Unfortunately my view was blocked when my office door closed, I went back to mirror and fixed myself for the umpteenth time, I needed everything to be perfect after all you only get one chance to make a good first impression. After my "talk" with the photographer I had vowed to never let anything come between me and Alice again, and that goes for her mother as well. I understand the woman's good intention ,but the sooner I made it clear to her that Alice is mine the better. Just the thought of another man with Alice made my blood boil. "Mr. Maverick you have a call from your father on line one" Alice announced over the intercom I sighed and picked up the phone "Dad" I greeted as kindly as I could it irritated me to no end that he felt the need to check up on me. "Jared...how are things?" He dodged the question he really wanted to ask, I loved my father more than anything but he was the biggest micromanager I have ever met. "You promised you wouldn't do this anymore" I replied "Do what? Can't a father call his son and shoot the shit every now and again" he played coy, I knew it wasn't easy for him to let me run the company, even if this agency was only a small part of the Maverick cooperation. "Really?" I asked, maybe I had misjudged the situation, "Of course, so what's new?" He asked , I was skeptical about telling him about Alice after all we had just began dating. "Well I have been talking to someone? But it's not serious yet" I downplayed my relationship with Alice last thing I needed was him digging into her. "Oh, who is it now? Model? Actress? Stripper?" My father pries and I chuckled one thing was for sure my father was the never one to beat around the bush. "None of the above she is a simple woman" I said, even though the last thing she would ever be is simple. KNOCK KNOCK. Alice walked in the room "Hold on" I put my father on hold "Hey, I'm going to head out to lunch do you need anything?" She asked, I guess it would be inappropriate to say 'only thing I want to eat is your wet twat' so I just shook my head and watched her switch away again. I went back to making pleasantries with my dad and tried to fight the hard on I gave myself.

Alice

I had just came back from my short lunch with Charity at afood truck a couple of blocks up the road. I knew Charity was used to five star quality ,so I appreciated her slumming it with me till payday. I made it back to my floor avoiding eye contact with my haters and checked the emails at my desk. RING RING. I barely had a moment to myself before I saw my mother name flash on my phone screen. "Hello" I greet her, "Hey baby so you ready for tonight?" she asked, and I wanted to say no so badly "Mom, I will go meet this guy tonight but I'm don't think I'll like him" I confessed "Oh you just have to give him a chance, I told you to stop being so judgmental" she chided, I couldn't help but smile wondering how non-judgmental she would be if I told her I was dating my White boss. "We'll see, I might be a little late I have to drop Bruce off with Dee" I said "I thought you were going to let Apple watch him" she referred to her hairdresser and best friend "Umm no , Apple got too many people running in and out her house last thing I need is to have to fuck somebody up over my son" I let my professionalism slip for a second, but my mother needed to know that although I loved aunt apple she is a little too trusting of strangers. "Oh you always judging" she blew off my observation "Well we will be meeting at the Bleu Martini" She said changing my entire outfit for me, it was one thing to just slum it in jeans to an Olive garden but Bleu Martini was a hotspot in Philly and was always filled with important people, some were clients of the agency. "Does he know I don't have Bleu Martini money?" I asked shocked at her choice for meeting "He says he knows the owner so we don't have to pay" She sang, it was becoming clear why she wanted us to meet so bad. "Fine see you then" I sighed, just once I wish I could say no to her.

The rest of the day was filled with busy work since it was Friday everyone was more inclined to find weekend activities than do work. Finally it was 5 and I was ready to go home get dressed and get this stupid date over with. I walked to Jared's office to ask if he needed anything before I left and felt my heart skip a beat I was expecting to see my stern boss who was all business but his face was lit up as if he had seen his favorite show come on. "Alice" He said my name so sweetly that I almost forgot my reason for coming in "Mr. Mav-" I began to ask what he needed "Alice, it's 5 you can call me Jared, in fact even when it's not 5 you can call me Jared" He explain sitting up from his lounging position. "Well...Jared is there anything you need before I head off on this 'meeting'?" I asked, ignoring the heat in my cheeks "You don't sound so thrilled about this" He laughed, it didn't take a genius to see that I was being held hostage by guilt to see this man. "What? No. What girl doesn't want to be wined and dined by a rich, young brother" I rolled my eyes "Oh so he's loaded?" he looked a bit more serious "I don't know but I can assume, I mean you don't just go into Bleu Martini if your poor but then again maybe he is just well connected we'll see." I rambled on hoping he would rope me into a conversation so I could delay going on this damn date. "Ahh, well try to have fun you never know he may surprise you" He encouraged which was a bit strange. " Wait. You want me to have a good time with some stranger?" I asked confused "It's not preferred but I don't want you to be miserable, so just try?" He explained "Oookay" I turned to leave feeling more confused than before , but he had a point ,no point in being miserable besides the Bleu Martini was usually interesting. Especially on Friday's when all the executives and big wigs came to party.

Jared

I was on my way to meet Alice and her date at the Bleu Martini I had scraped my first idea of dressing up and decided the best thing I could do was come business casual casual, so instead of a suit and tie I stuck with some navy blue slacks and a white button up with the top three buttons undone and casual loafers. I told my driver to call in an hour just in case things took a turn for the worst, I walked in the bar and saw my lovely angel propped at a small booth across from the bar, I made my way through the drunken secretaries and their bosses/lovers and ignored the female executives trying to flirt. I walked over to the table where her date and mother sat, it was clear this man wanted to show off his money he was decked out in an Armani suit not to different from the ones I have and had made sure his Cartier watch was showing. True enough he was an attractive Black man with freshly trimmed beard and deep hazel eyes, he looked as if he belonged on a GQ magazine, still my girl didn't look impressed in fact she seemed a little bored. Although her mother was hanging off of every word this man said, she had the same kind brown eyes of her daughter short pixie cut,and she was a bit taller than Alice judging by her seated position and a bit wider but still she was a very attractive woman. I made my presence known when I planted a quick kiss on Alice's cheek "Sorry I'm late darling" I sat next to her and watched her eyes go big. This night was going to be fun.
