Revenge Or Lust

"What do you want?" Christina crooned into the mouthpiece.

"You know!" The male voice on the end answered

"I have no idea" Christina giggled...like a girl.

"You just want me to spell it all out. I see" the reply came, "well I wish you were here with me"

"And if I was?" Christina asked flirtingly

"I'll kiss you you so hard that you'll lose your senses. Our bodies will be so close that even air won't get through. And I'll slide my hands down your waist to the small of your back..."

The deep muskiness of his voice made Christina shudder.

"Mr Feyton, you're being a very bad boy" Christina slurred

"Just for you, soon-to-be Mrs Feyton"

Mrs Feyton, it surely had a good ring. Hearing this sent flutters to her brain, butterflies to her loins.

"Keep talking like that and I'll have to keep you up all night"

"If that's my punishment, then I'll be yammering all day".

She giggled again.

"What'll you do to me" she asked, eyes wide and lips moist.

"Ma'am your one o'clock is here for you" kendall interrupted.

"Okay. Let him in five". Christina almost cursed but replied.

She waited till kendall left the office then went back to her call.

"Honey, I'm so sorry. I got a meeting right now. I'll call you as soon as I'm done...so sorry" Christina pleaded.

"Don't sweat it. I understand completely. Go do your thing. I love you and happy birthday"

"And I love you too, baby. Later"

At the sound of the dropped call click Christina tried to put herself together into business mode. She looked around her table and put everything in place.

Clearing her throat, she rang kendall to let the client in.

She was trying real hard to keep Charles off her mind. Thoughts of him was making her soggy between the legs and that was very distracting. The swinging doors and the incoming man was all the switch she needed.

"Mr. Blackwood, it's a real pleasure to finally meet you" Christina stood to shake hands.

"The pleasure is all mine. And call me Oscar" He replied, accepting the handshake

"You're most welcome Oscar. Please have a seat" Christina said and pointed to the soft sea blue cushion.

Their hands lingered in each other and their eyes held each other's gaze

"Beautiful eyes you got there. So expressive" Oscar observed

"Very constructive compliment Mr. Blackwood. Oops, Oscar. Yours aren't so bad. Very captivating" Christina replied, not to be outdone and joined him on the cushions, "Now that we have our beautiful eyes out of the way, I know that we are going to have a very successful business relationship. Here at Make-it-shine we try to make your events glow and shine.

"Well, hopefully. So I'm thinking of organising a Blackwood year end party, no innuendos." Oscar Blackwood went straight to action.

"Well none picked...Oscar" Christina replied with a smirk on her face." So a relaxed setting. Got any place in mind?" Christina scribbled into her writing pad.

"Well...the Blackwood rooftop"

"Okay, would that be a relaxed evening setting or an actual party"

"How imaginative can you get?"

"Quite I would say. I could give a party that would give the blogs fodder for weeks"

"I could hold you to that one day. But No. We'll be needing a mixture of the relaxed and raucous all at once" Oscar explained. "get the bloggers talking but keeping the investors honourable"

"I catch your drift. Intense and yet not wild. A little Romance with a twinge of truancy"

"Perfect." Oscar clapped.

She'd hit the nail on the head. Hopefully the execution will be so on point also. She exuded the aura of one that could do just that. Her office effused such meticulous flair.

Spacious, approximately 200 sq. ft. A Corner office with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning city views.

The cushions were comfortable and modern.

Creamy white and pale gray paints mixed to give the ambience with warm cedar on the bottom part of the walls. A Plush area rug set before the fireplace in a subtle floral pattern.

A simple and yet elegant desk, standing before the windows, with a beautiful wooden finish. Matching bookshelves filled with business and self-help books. Inspirational quotes and artwork adorned the walls. A Framed photo of she and Charles sat on the Elegant desk. A vase with fresh sunflowers also sat on the desk.

Her Macbook was opened on her desk. Everything tidy and arranged. Soft, soothing music wafted through hidden sound system that Charles had had installed. And the smell of lavender made to calm ones nerves.

"So I'm thinking a Masquerade party. Color coded, low lights and romantic music. The food will be catered and alcohol will be served. I'm also thinking a venetian theme mixed with the masks, bringing the excitement of dancing with an unknown person. Three course meals and champagne. A chandelier on the dance floor with a live jazz band." Christina explained, lost in her imagination.

"Woah slow down, you're just coming up with all this just like that?"

"Well, it's my job. Of course, there are details to be straightened out"

"You've got hell of an imagination. I like that" Oscar said and then added, "you know what? Wow me. I'm giving you full rein"

"Full rein?"

"Full rein. Pass an estimate through my office and expect approval"

"Okay, you won't be disappointed " Christina beamed.

"So that will be all...I'll be taking my leave" Oscar stood to leave.

His bouncy hair waved in the whiff of the air conditioners breeze. His black pupils dilated, piercing holes in its gaze. There was a slight grin clinging to the corners of his lips, as though he knew his power. His black shirt clung to lean frame. His black Ararè suit sat effortlessly on him cuffed off by a gold watch. The only non-black item on him.

Christina stood up to walk him to the door.

"We really appreciate your patronage Mr Blackwood, sorry Oscar. As for your event, we'll be sure to make-it-shine"

"I'll be counting on that" Oscar replied as he stepped out of the office.

Interesting man, Christina thought.

"Kendall! Please I need you in my office" Christina softly told Kendall.

"Okay Ma'am" Kendall replied.

Christina sat at her desk and closed her eyes. She was trying to imagine how it would all play out. Every contrivance, every nook and cranny and how best to go about it. Kendall knocked and came in.

"Kendall, we just bagged one of the most luxurious jobs ever. We are gonna organise a party for the Blackwood firm"

"Wow! Was that really Mr Blackwood? When he signed in he just mentioned Oscar. By God he is handsome" Kendall said and bit her lips.

"Well you'd better rein it in. You are too young for him."

"I'm 20. Hence 100% legal and certified. And this titties are a man grabber." Kendall said and shook her rack.

"Damn girl. Focus!" Christina chided.

"You sound so ghetto. Sound like Karen"

"Ya I do right? Well she's my best friend."

Karen was Christina's best friend. They'd shared many great times. Karen's family had moved into Christina's neighbourhood when the both girls were 13. Their friendship had taken the both of them through college and till date as adults. Karen was now into real estate and Christina had gone into events management. Good times they'd had.

Karen was meant to come over that day for her birthday. 20th August was making her 27. Karen always came around on her birthdays and she always went over on Karen's.

"I so love her braids. You know, like how the black cornrows blend again her bronze skin, so sweet" There was so much excitement in her voice

"You could get yours braided too."

"It wouldn't suit me. Except I dye it first" Kendall looked at the fringes of her blonde hair.

"Hell no. You know that Charlie used to have a thing for blondes"

"And he's ending up spending the rest of his life with a brunette. Funny enough that's the best choice he could ever make. Hell, if I were a boy, I'll so wanna get it with a girl like you"

"Awwwwn" Christina crooned,"thanks a lot" she stood to give kendall a hug

The two women held each other for a while, soaking in the feminine bonding.

"We've got a lot of work to do" Christina said when they broke the embrace

"Okay then, Let's get started" Kendall clicked her pen and held her pad.
