Jack

"Where the hell is my phone?" I screamed in my head as I searched for my cell phone everywhere in my office. There wasn't much places it could have ran to, the room just contained this table.

I had just five minutes to get Winnie's coffee ready and I couldn't leave this office without my phone. It is an extension of me, I couldn't leave without it.

Just then I heard my ring tone and traced it back to the second drawer of my table. How did it get in there. I hurriedly picked it up, without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello, good morning" I said while running out of the office to get my boss's coffee.

"HI Jack, it's Susan" the caller introduced herself.

I hushed in my steps. I didn't hiss because I hate hissing. Why does she keep calling me?

"What do you want Susan?" I walked slowly to the elevator and got in.

"Emm, I just wanted to hear from you" her voice sounded as if she was crying. I didn't care anyways. Women and their lack of emotional intelligence. Always crying over little things.

"Susan" I started calmly. I was already having a bad morning, this call already made it worse.

"Don't ever call me again" I finished. She started sobbing and I could feel my eyes at the back of my head.

"Please Jack, I want to see you. I love you Jack" she sobbed the more. The sobbing had no effect on me, I was used to girls crying to get under my sheets again. So this wasn't new. The only thing that was new was the 'I love you part" I laughed so loud that it shut up her crying holes.

"Keep your love to yourself missy, I am done with you." with that I hanged up the call and stepped out of the elevator to get the coffee.

After about 10 minutes at the coffee shop which was within the premises. I looked for Winnie's car every where in the parking lot, but I didn't find it. Grateful that I was still on track, I ran into the building, towards the elevator.

I pressed a button and it opened, I got in, taking deep breaths to calm down. When I was back to my normal self. I sense someone's presence just behind me. I slowly turned and my eyes met with Winnie's.

I was so much in hurry that I didn't notice that I was in the elevator with no other than my boss. But I didn't see her car outside the building, did she fly? I wouldn't be surprised if she could.

Her eyes were still on me. The elevator was getting too hot for my liking. Her eyes went from my face to the cup of coffee in my hands.

"Jack you know I am also here" Genesis waved her hands. She was leaning on the wall on my right hand. I smiled at her as she warmly greeted me.

"You don't greet?" Winnie inquired more like said. Her signature frown was plastered on her face. For some weird reason I wanted to make it go away, see her smile at least once, see if she got her father's dimples just like Genesis.

"I would if you smile" my bad morning was coming to an end little by little.

She gave me a dirty look and pointed towards the elevator door. It was open, so I stepped out and stopped. Watching her catwalk into the office before I followed suit.

I stalled on my office for a few minutes so she could get settled before I served her, her morning coffee. I walked to her door and the nosy me wanted to listen in on the sister conversation.

"Jack is so cute, Winnie" that was Genesis with her loud happy voice. I think the girl is a sucker for good looking guys, for example my handsome brother.

"Oh please, can you go five minutes without calling his name" Winnie's cold voice contrasted with that of her sister's. I still can't believe they both came from the same home. I waved my head.

"Well I would, if you smile" Genesis said and laughed out so loud. I laughed too, I could only imagine the look on Winnie's face, she would be burning fair if she were fair.

"Can you stop?" Winnie said.

"I won't, cause I really like him" Genesis added. I closed my eyes to imagine the scene properly.

"You what!" Winnie's voice was loud and sharp.

"I said I like him. Jack, I like him. He's so cool and kind and sweet..." Seems like Genesis was not afraid of sister at all. Her voice was still happy even after yelled at.

"You are not allowed to like him" Winnie ordered. It's funny how she thinks she can get what ever she wants just by speaking the words in a cold harsh manner.

"Why not, do you like him?" oh Genesis. She is really pushing untouched buttons.

"I don't, and you should not either. Jack is not good for anybody. He's a playboy and would break your heart into pieces if you ever get close to him" Winnie finished in one breadth.

Was that what she saw me as? A playboy. In as much as that was partly true, she is not allowed to feel that way about me. What could I do, she already fired Judith cause of my awesomeness. And she met me in a club, and I practically had sex with a stranger. Oh my reputation is ruined in her eyes.

"Well, his friend is not" way to end the conversation Genesis.

"which friend?" Winnie was getting tired of the conversation I could feel it. Genesis was a handful already, only the strong would contain that energy. I wonder how my brother would cope, if they actually get their attraction a chance.

"Wilson. Omg he is so handsome, so gentle..."

"Stop Genesis. You always have good things to say about people. People are not as good as you see them. You need to stop being so naive" Winnie shouted. This time I actually agree with her. Wilson was my brother alright, but the way Genesis talks about guys, I bet she talks about every one like that. Making her too trusting and vulnerable to vultures.

The room went silent, the tension was building. I hope they won't fight.

"See Gen. It's fine to be all excited about returning to your country and meeting new people. You have to careful. I don't want you getting hurt. You know I care for you" Winnie said. Was that actually Winnie. So she is not a wicked witch after all. I giggled.

"I know. I appreciate how you care for me Winnie. I just met him at the party, and Jack said he knew him and he arranged a date for us. It was really nice" Genesis narrated the story, everything.

"You have even been on a date!" Winnie shouted again. I had to intervene before she chops Genesis's head out. I opened the door slowly and ushered my self in.

All eyes were on me. Winnie's was filled with anger, while Genesis was pleading for help. I turned to Winnie, walked to the front of her desk and dropped her probably cold coffee.

"You set up my sister with your friend?" Winnie was now on her feet.

"Yes I did" I answered confidently. What's the worse that could happen? She could only throw the coffee on my shirt. Thank God I already have a spare.

"God, Jack you are really tempting me" she paced angrily within her space.

"I think they really like each other" I put that out there and looked at Genesis. She hit her hand on her forehead, meaning I just made a mistake by saying that. Before I could return my gaze at the angry Winnie, her coffee landed on my shirt, yet again.

"You must be crazy. How dare you hook up my sister with one of your dirty, stupid and wayward friends? " her voice was at its peak now, I feared it would crack. The strength behind this anger wasn't just her hate for me, from what I had heard from outside, it was her love for her sister, the need to protect her that fuelled her anger. Just like the mother hen, she was furious.

"Wilson is not like that, trust me. He's different" I also defended by brother.

"Trust you. Haven't you heard, same feathers flock together. So don't be offended if I don't trust you. I don't think any good man would choose to be your friend. So please, keep your different friend far away from my sister, you get that" she finished and ordered me out of  her office.

I don't think anyone has insulted me like this in my life. I sat on my seat and set my head on my desk. This morning has been an emotional rollercoaster. I was drained.

The part that hurts the most, is that all she said was true. But I have heard this from bitter ex girlfriends, why does hers hurt the most. I can't let her get to me, I should be the one getting to her.

Tired Jack 😂😂😂
