“Where are you from?” I asked.
“Toledo.”
“Oh . . . What are you doing in Chicago?”
“I came to see you.”
I rolled my eyes, although he didn’t see me. “I didn’t tell you I was from Chicago, so I know that’s a lie.”
“If there’s something I want to know, I have ways of finding out.”
“That might be true, but I don’t think you came to Chicago just for me.”
“Honestly, you’re the main reason I’m here.”
“What are the other reasons?”
“A fresh start and a job opportunity.”
I sat with his words for a moment before responding. “Is your ex still stalking you?”
“You remember a lot more from our conversation than I expected. A lot has happened in the past two months.”
“Really? I can’t wait to hear it all.”
We continued to our destination in silence. Elias didn’t remove his arm from around my shoulders until we arrived at the entrance of the hotel. He opened the door, allowing me to enter first. Once we were inside, he led me to the restaurant.
After we were seated, we viewed the menu. I hadn’t had a chance to eat at the lounge, so I was starving. The server arrived, taking our drink and food orders before disappearing again.
“How have you been?” Elias asked when we were alone again.
“I’ve been fine. Nothing spectacular or life-changing has happened since I last saw you.”
“You mean, since you snuck out of my room like a thief in the night.”
“Must you continue to bring up old shit? I didn’t sneak out of your room. I left because I had an early flight.”
“You ain’t wake a nigga up or leave a note. I call that sneaking.” I rolled my eyes again, and this time he could see my face. “Roll your eyes at me again. I’m gon’ do something to make them bitches get stuck in the back of your head.”
I was so shocked by his words, I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. Aside from in the bedroom, I’d only seen the softer side of Elias. Based on his tone and his words, he had an aggressive side hiding behind his gentle demeanor.
Since I had every intention of letting him take me to his room and fuck me until the sun came up, I didn’t address his comment . . . for now. As soon as I had some food and a bit ofliquor in my system, I’d let him know exactly what I wanted him to do to my pussy.
The server returned with our drinks, and we sat quietly, enjoying a few sips. Elias didn’t take his eyes off me, and the longer he stared, the warmer my body became. I couldn’t blame it on the liquor because it had only been a few minutes since I’d begun drinking.
“Tell me more about this job opportunity.”
“Clinton and Evander have an opening. The job is mine if I want it.”
“Do you want it?”
“I’ve been here for two days. After my interview, we talked in great detail about the position, they gave me a tour of the company, and I shadowed the person who I’d be replacing.”
“It sounds like you want the job. You’ve been here for two days?”
“Yes to both.”
“Why didn’t you reach out?”
