Chapter 24: Different Life With Very Different Girl
Brianna
1 smoothed myself over in the elevator and headed up. When the ping sounded, it let him know I was here and I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized he wasn’t in his usual suit. Instead, he was in a black t–shirt under a leather jacket and blue jeans. He looked hot and amazingly attractive. As I entered, he ran a hand through his hair which looked softer like he hasn’t styled it at all today.
Do you want the spare key or do you want to hang around until your brother gets home?” He gave me an option I wasn’t expecting, Probably because recognized the outfit that I showed them the day I bought it, I paused with my mouth slightly ajar.
“Oh, you have a spare?” I felt awkward asking him to stay now.
“You don’t have to use it. He picked up on my hesitant demeanor.
“I heard about some criminals in this area, maybe I shouldn’t stay alone tonight.” I cleared my throat and made a ridicolous excuse.”
“Criminals?” He seemed to smirk at me and I don’t know why,
“Yes…” I cringed at myself.
“Come in, Brianna.” He waved for me to exit the foyer.
I released a breath of relief and walked into his living room. I shouldn’t be here and I know that. He walked to his bar cart and pulled out a short glass, I knew what that meant
“Do you want anything?” He asked without looking at me.
“I am good,” my voice sounded nervous and I wanted to smack myself.
When he finished pouring his drinks, he came and sat down on the same sofa I was just sitting comfortably on. Although he sat on the opposite end, placing an arm over the back of it and he tilted ever so slightly to face me. I gulped, he looked so good in leather and his dark five o’clock shadow made him gruff and manly. I just pictured him taking me right here and now,
‘He is your brother fucking best friend. The words rang in my head.
“What criminals are in the arra?” He asked, I opened and closed my mouth. I fumbled to find an answer but his low sexy chuckles shut me up entirely.
“You didn’t buy this bag the day you showed your gifts?” He asked, eyeing the beautiful designer beside me.
“No, I rented it for the week, it matched perfectly.” I held it up and kicked a foot up to shower my teal heels.
I swallowed hard when his eyes trailed down my leg, to my heel and then back up at me. I quickly put it down and straighten myself out.
“You are welcome to go about
your normal routine. Don’t let me interrupt you.” I fidgeted with my fingers in my lap and looked away from him.
“I don’t think you want me to go about my usual routine.” He said and the insinuation was heavy.
“Why?“12
I asked before I could stop myself
He brought his hand to his mouth and played with his sexy bottom lips to hide his amusement. I know it was because I sounded affected by him.
“I blow off steam with various activities. He muttered and it left so much up for interpretation.
I could I ask what or I would get an answer, I probably shouldn’t hear. I just blink at him and he pulled the glass up to his mouth and took a sip. I watched his Adam’s apple bob and even that was hot. He was so at ease right now, how does he do it? I am a fidgeting mess, he affects me so much. I couldnt stand the way he was looking at me, so I quickly blurted out the first thing I could think of
“Zaveri and the crew
shop invited me out this
s werkend.” His jaw clenched and unclenched but he didn’t respond. I look down at my lap
at time since moving here,” I quickly added.

“Have you been wanting to go out?” He asked and I shrugged..
“I mean…it is Port Harcourt. I want to see it, Reyce wanted to take me to a f
few places but you have him quite busy.” I smiled and then dropped the smile
when I remembered who I was talking to so casually right now,
