“Oh…my…god…” I moan with a mouth full of chicken pita sandwich, my eyes rolling to the back of my head.

Zach was right. So deliciously right. This thing is amazing.

Jade: I definitely moaned but I’m sorry. It wasn’t your name.

I smile, putting my phone back on the table and diving into another savory bite.

Melissa enters and snatches a bottle of diet coke from the fridge. Even though I’m lost in total food bliss, I can feel her eyes on me, burning up the back of my neck.

“So you and Zachary Calloway…” She leaves it hanging,

But instead of forcing me to abandon the ecstasy I’m in, I take another bite of the sandwich prolonging her prying curiosity.

“I didn’t know you knew him,” she nudges the conversation again.

“Yep. Since we were kids,” I chirp with extra cheer as I swallow.

She moves in front of me across the table. “And you’re pregnant with his baby?”

Irritation is climbing my back. “Yes.”

“That’s interesting. I pegged him having many sex trophies and not knowing any of them.”

I narrow my eyes.

“You’d think with all the practice the rumors suggest, he’d know how to protect himself from getting women pregnant.” Resentment drips from her tone. “So are you two a thing?”

“No.” I drop monotone, keeping my anger bobbing just at the surface. “We’re being parents together.”

Unabashedly, the whore tugs the corner of her lips. “Then he’s available?”

“He is.” The words burn my tongue and I sharpen my claws. “But even so, I doubt you’ll convince him to leave my side.”

Her puffed giggle is sinister and mixed with desperation. “Oh and what makes you so special?”

I stand to toss my box in the trash, spin around and glare at her. Manager or not, no way she’s going to talk to me like this and think I won’t respond. I will, just not the way she’s hoping for. I don’t rile easily. “I’m not.” I lift a shoulder and grin like a bitch. “You’re just not his type.”

Drop the mic and strut out of that room like a boss…

Except my heart is beating like crazy against my chest. My legs feel like rubber as I make my way to my car for some fresh air.

Fuck her. I bet the only reason she still has her job is because she’s probably fucking the HR manager and her husband. I’m shaking with adrenaline, wishing I could have just laid her out and not worried about losing my job. When I first started, she was caught up in some drama where she had slept with a customer’s husband, but somehow, she kept her job. Who does that and how? What magic sorcery does she possess?

I take a breath and grab my phone.

Jade: You have broken hearts coming in here today. Melissa made it clear she wants to sink her teeth into you.

Zach: They and she will get over it. Walking into my meeting. Call me when you get off work.

Zach: PS: Mashed potatoes…this weekend.

I laugh out loud at his last text. Of course, he’s trying to bribe me with my weaknesses—sex with him and mashed potatoes.
