Chapter 3

A week later Chris was at the office getting things set up for his next client to come in.

"Mr. Johnson I have a Mrs. Smith here for her appointment," his secretary said

"Send her in," he said sitting down

Mrs. Smith walks in and sees Chris looking handsome

"Nice to meet you. Let's get started" Chris said

" I want everything from him," she said sitting down mad.

"Okay Mrs. Smith we're gonna do everything we can to meet your standards," Chris said beginning to write everything she said down.

A few hours passed Chris had 3 clients come today. He walked out getting in his car. His phone begins to ring

"What do you want?" He said

"I'm your father. You don't speak to me that way" Phil said

"You ain't been in my life for 15  years. Now that you pop back up you want to control shit. Hell nah" Chris said hanging up.

Chris wasn't fucking with his father either. His father left him when he was 13 years old. Never came back until years later. Chris pulled over calling Sasha..

"Hey," she said

"You busy?" He asked

"I'm at work. Just on a small break" she said

"I'm about to come to see you," He said hanging up

He hasn't seen Sasha since last week. They were still getting to know each other. But he has been too busy to even have time. He pulled up seeing Sasha standing outside talking to one of her employees.

"What's up?" Chris said walking up and hugging Sasha

"You smell good," she said

"You smell like Dennys," he said being funny.

"Okay, jokes I see. What are you doing here? Haven't spoken since last week." She said

"I've been busy with work. I just missed seeing your face." He said touching her face.

Sasha tilts her head back feeling his soft head touch her face.

"Let me take you out?" He asked

"Now?" She said

"No crazy. When you get off" he said

"Well, I don't get off until 3 in the morning. Pulling a double. " She said

"You don't need to be working here, to be honest," he said

"It's a check and I get a tip daily." She said

"Come work for me?" He asked

"And be what exactly.? I don't even know what you do" she said

"I'm a lawyer," he said

"WAIT what?" She said surprised.

Even though Sasha had been to his house and all she ain't know he would be a lawyer.

"Yeah. You never asked " he said

"And what do you want me to do? Be your partner?" She asked

"My secretary," he said

"OH," she said

"That's all you have to say?" He asked

"I mean hell.  I know working in a law firm is ill. probably have a lot of shit to do" she laughed.

"I mean you have your days where I need you." He said

"No more like every day," she said

"You'll make good money there than this fucking place," he said pointing at Denny's.

Her manager came outside calling for Sasha.

"Sasha your lunch was over 15 minutes ago," he said

"I'm sorry. I got to go" she said about to walk off

Chris grabbed her arm.

"Think about it?" He said

"Sasha now we need you," He said yelling from the door.

Chris ain't like the way he was saying it.

"Yo chill out she coming," he said mean mugging

Sasha looked at Chris who was mean mugging hard.

"It's fine!" She said

"Hell nah. He better be lucky you work here. Matter of fact. Let's go" Chris said grabbing her hand and going inside Dennys.

They walked in.

"Go get your stuff," he said

"Chris I can't just leave it on the clock and I'll get fired," she said

"Sasha go get tour stuff and clock out. You don't need this job" he said

Sasha was looking at him confused but seeing he was serious. She went to the back grabbing her things.

"You still on the clock Sasha. You can't leave" the manager said

"She doesn't work here anymore," Chris said grabbing her hand and walking out.

They get in the car heading to Chris's office. They walked into the building. 

"Mr. Johnson I didn't expect to see you until the morning," Lisa said

"This is our new secretary. Ms. Hill" Chris said

Sasha looked at him shocked.

"How are you doing? Welcome to the best law firm.in the country" Lisa said

"Thank you," Sasha said

Chris was still holding Sasha's hand going into his office and closing the door behind him. Chris walked over to sit down at his desk looking at Sasha. Sasha still ain't say anything just looking around his office

"Say something," he said

"Why?" She asked

"You didn't need to be working there. You need to make good money. And somebody as beautiful as you need to be in a dress looking casual every day" he said

"Really?" She said

"Yeah really. Sit down" Chris said

Sasha sat down and looked at Chris and other paperwork out to hand to her

"Just fill these out for me and we can get started tomorrow morning," he said.

"Okay," she said

"You got something casual to wear tomorrow?" He asked

"Yeah, I do. Thank you" she said

"No problem. Now my step is to make your minds" he said

Sasha looked up smiling

"If you can be patient and take it slow with me. MAYBE we can be something" she said laughing

"Maybe," Chris said getting up and walking behind Sasha

He put his on Sasha's shoulder to massage her neck.

"Tense," he said

"Ain't get much sleep, that's why," she said

"Sleep is important.  We need to fix that"  he said

"I know. I'll sleep tonight" she said

"I expect you to. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow. Let's go. I'll drop you off at home." he said

They got in the car and headed towards Sasha's apartment

"I ain't see your car. Where is it?" He asked

"In the shop. Got to overheating" she said.

"You'll be able to get a new and better car next week. Is it just you?" He asked

"Yeah just me. My brother died when I was 15. Been really on my own since I was 16." she said

"What do you mean on your own?" He asked

"Well, my mom was on drugs bad. And my stepdad was a molester and an abuser. Would Beat my ass all the time." She said

Chris looked at her seeing how strong she was and not crying.

"You strong. And I like that about you. I'm sorry your life was fucked." Chris said

"Thank you. What about you?" She asked

"From New York. Moved here months ago. But I've been back and forth. My mother was on crack, my dad wasn't in my life, and my sister was also on drugs." He said

"And how you managed to deal with all that?" She asked

"Sometimes I couldn't deal with it. But I wasn't going to end up like them. I stayed focused in school and was selling here and there. I made my way. And when it was my time to go I left" he said

Sasha was smiling at him. Chris looked over seeing her smile.

"Made you smile?" He asked

"Yea. I think you were right about our meeting. Both have fucked up families" she said laughing.

Chris laughed too pulling up at her apartment.

"You stay out here?" He asked

"Yeah," she said

"Alright let me walk you to the door," Chris said getting out and opening up Sasha's door.

They walked up to the apartment. Sasha turned around facing Chris.

"Thank you," she said

"You're welcome," Chris said

Chris grabbed her face about to kiss her. Sasha stopped him putting her finger on his lip.

"Slow. Remember?" She said

"Umhum." He said still close to her lips to kiss them.

Sasha smiled kissing him on the lips..

"Thank you," He said

"Bye Chris," she said smiling

Sasha went in shutting her door. She was blushing hard.
