Yeah, it's something that I'm used to now, I can even say it's my weekend schedule, hanging out with Jack, my brother. That's one of the times he gets family off his mind, as well as me, putting work aside, but the difference is still huge, he has nothing to do with girls or temporary flings, he's living his best life, enjoying his family life and kinda always boastful about it to me sometimes, I also know that he does that to let me know how fun a family life can be, trying to make me look women's way for something serious, other than normal flings.
For me, I most times pick one up for the weekend, I don't indulge in it every weekend, both a man, especially a young man has his needs, I want nothing serious with the ladies, not after what I have seen happen to Jack before and even most other men out there. Sometimes, I still happen to see his old friends, those that partially made him who he is today, those friends that backstabbed and stamped on his heart like there was no value to it, I can say few of them are hardly doing well, others are more like they've lost the love of living, just living for pleasure. They were all kids then with rich backgrounds, I guess that played a role in at least keeping them in a manageable position than ruin.
“ So..... Tell me about your personal assistant, how's the collaboration going?”.
Yeah, every single one of them had their own curiosity towards Lydia, they all knew that I never wanted anything to do with a secretary, not to talk of personal assistant, considering the position she was promoted to just in few weeks or a month and some weeks.
“ Things are going really better, much more than I thought..... Actually, I never even thought of it to go better, but it was all a surprise. Just happened ”.
I can see the smile across his lips, I wonder why he's putting that on, I never said anything funny. We were seated on the bar, our wine before us, facing each other before we were resting our sides at the bar.
“ You hardly speak positive about ladies, you've always seen them as just flings and meant for pleasure, but this definition about a lady is a first time hearing them from you....”.
“ That's because it's the truth, I can't hide what I admire, she deserves the compliment, having changed my life to be much more easier and give me more time to add to my work.... That's something to be appreciative of ”.
He was staring deep into my eyes, listening to me speak, as if he was searching to see whether there's any kind of affection towards the lady I'm describing. “ You find her attractive right?....”. He asked.
I was silent, staring blankly at him. “ Common Dave, I'm your brother, I will always ask, you know.... Bro stuff....”. He defended himself, trying to make the interrogation look normal, as something that was just meant to happen.
“ She's my Personal Assistant, she's attractive though, but I don't look her way ”.
Still seated there, gulping down my drink, a lady passed by, a familiar lady.... She was in a short black dress, her hair tied to a pony, her steps looks like something I am used to, really familiar and professional, showing how confident she was. She came with two other young ladies, as they sit together, she's not just familiar, she's someone I see everyday, she's Lydia.
“ Looking at the lady in black?, Someone has found himself a catch for tonight.....”.
“ No, there's no chance.... I can get any girl around, apart from that one....”.
“ Wow.... Don't tell me you're about denying yourself pleasure when that's what you do on weekend nights, common buddy.... I am not forcing you into anything serious, she's definitely going to be a normal stranger after the night, that's normal for you, it's partially wrong though, but a man has his needs you know.... That's your words, not mine, and more, she's the most beautiful around right now, any guy can go for her if you waste anymore minute you know....”.
“ She's off limit, she's my personal assistant bro... I'm logically not allowed to ruin our professional status, not like this, she's way too responsible in my view, never knew I would even see her here ”.
“ Wow.... Now knowing she's your secretary or personal assistant makes this more interesting, you're surely defending her, meaning that there's a sign of attraction towards her....”.
His words got my attention, I had to turn and look at him like what's he talking about kind of look. “ I have no affection towards her, she's my assistant, nothing more....”.
She's looking way beyond her normal appearance, she was always in this professional outfit, putting on a suit or a long sleeved shirt with her pencil skirt and high heels, but tonight, she's a whole different lady, one I can believe is always seating next door across me, she was putting on a skin tight black short gown, pushing out her hour glass frame, looking at her and her seating position, she was sitting straight, face forward and looking really confident.
I watched a man stand up, the man was looking tall and huge as he made his approach towards her, I can't lie about this, but jealousy gripped me immediately, watching her speaking with another man, face lightening up with a wide smile as she was looking up at the man looking down on her, I can't find it easy looking at that scenario, watching this man shoot his shot towards this gorgeous looking personal assistant of mine, it's hard to keep my gaze off that scene.
“ Common Jacky, we should leave....”.
