I was burning, no, I was dying,a sweet death,I slowly open my eyes to see sage straddling me, he smiles and I melt all over again, he goes to kiss me and......

"Momma, am gonna be late for school, wake up"

My eyes pop open to see Alec standing at the foot of my bed, I roll over to gain control of my self and blush.

Someone kill me, I was having a bad dream with my son in the same room.

"You gonna get up or what?"

Alec asks, rudely if I say so myself.

I roll over and look at him, he was fully dressed for school with just a part of his shirt untucked, I smile , totally adorable.

"Momma, get up, now!"

"Hey young man, don't raise your voice at me"

"Whatever"

He rolls his eyes and walks out, what was that about, I quickly get dressed and go downstairs, I see justice talking to him.

Oh hell no, justice was not going to rub his brand of rubbish on my son.

"Come on A, if your done..."

He doesn't let me finish and walk out door I hurry after him and try to make sense of this attitude,  was something wrong at school? it's just been 3 days,I ask.

"Just let it go mom, please."

I keep quiet and we walk to the bus station silently, the bus pulls up and he gets in without turning around, I see him sit away from his usual sit, I frowns, the bus pulls away.

I am worried, is he being bullied? I walk home, I enter the living room and see justice perusing a newspaper, I go to walk pass him but stop, I turn.

"Am gonna say this once and I want you to listen, I don't know what hat game you are playing with Alec and I don't wanna know, just stay the hell away from."

I turn and walk away from him, I go upstairs and take my bath, am extremely worried about Alec, he never acts out, is he now missing something he never had?

I stop in front of my mirror and stare at my reflection, I shake my head, am over thinking shit.

I get dressed in a black pencil skirt with a little slit in the side and a bloody red blouse, I pair it up with 4 inches pencil heels, I make up lightly and am done.

I go down stairs and walk past justice, he doesn't even look up, I don't care, I have something else to worry about.

I drive to work, in all the drama of today I have forgotten the interlude with my boss yesterday, i blush remembering the kiss we shared,am instantly nervous.

Will he want a repeat?, Will he act like nothing happened? I hope not,I find myself craving him like an addict jonesing for his next fix.

I drive up to his  mansion and I get out of his car, I walk to the door and am surprised Sandra is not there with a welcome wagon.

I walk to the home office and he's not there and i deflate a little, I wanted to see him, i bite my lip and get started, the previous assistant most have been a saint, there is literally nothing to do except the basic scheduling stuff.

I get engrossed with  Sage's schedule and returning calls and faxing Important documents that I missed his entrance.

"Good morning, julliet."

I jerk and look up, I stand .

"Good morning sir"

He stops and turns to me with a scowl

"None of that sir shit, don't like it, the name's sage"

He drops that bomb and countinued to his desk, am a little taken aback, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed.

I make my way to him and we go over his schedule, I finish and stand there.

He glances up,

"Anything else julliet?"

I nod my head no and I make my way to my seat, what's up with the silent treatment? 

I thought he was different and now he's acting like a jerk, I countinue my work without making a peep, if he thinks he can kiss me and walk all over me, he has another thing coming.

I glance up most times to see him Engrossed in his work, got to admit that was hot but still, now am pissed.

Sometime later I glance at the clock on my desk and see it was past 3, I have to get going I pack up and announce that I am in my way out he waves me away without looking up from his document.

Jerk.

I make my way downstairs in a tizzy, who the hell does he think he his?

My life.sigh.

I see Sandra wave at me from the kitchen as I walk past, I wave back and go to say hi.

"Sooo, how was your first day?"

I sigh.

"T'was ok, am heading home now, Alec's school should have let out by now"

He looks at me dubiously, probably not buying my brand of shit.

"Ok, that's good, you wanna meet up for drinks later in the evening?"

I think about it.

"Am sorry I can't maybe next time?"

"Ok no problem, you have my number call me if you change your mind."

I nod and say my goodbyes, I drive home still in my tizzy .

When I get home Alec was already back, I knock on his door and get no response, I open and enter and a book comes sailing at my head.

"Get out!"

I exit the room, Alec's attitude not helping my already bad mood I make my way to my room and take my bath, i finish and walk to my closet , i go to grab one of my teddies and my eyse snag on one of my little black dresses.

Well what the hell?, I think I deserve a little break, I glance at the clock and see that it was past 6, I grab my cell and dial Sandra's number.

"Hello?"

"Sandra? it's Jules, is that invitation still up?"

"Hells yeah, meet you up in 30 minutes?"

"You are on."

I ring off and and grab my dress , i put it on and it looks great, a little bit if smoky eyeshadow and my favorite 5inch platform heels and I was good to go.

I make my way downstairs and almost collide with justice.

"Where do you think your going dressed like that?"

"None ya"

"What?"

"None ya buisness"

I walk pass him and he follows, i go to wait for Sandra at the driveway and he follows, I ignore him.

"Sage's not gonna like you dressed like that,you going on a date?"

First of all, what?

"Sage is not the boss of Me.."

"Sorry to burst your bubble July, he actually his"

"What?"

"Go inside Jules , go change, he's not gonna like....."

"Well hold it!, I am sick and tired of hearing what sage will not like, you wanna hear what I don't like?"

He raises his eyebrow, 

"I do not like you calling my name like we are friends when you know we are anything but, sage is not my boyfriend, he can shove his concerns up his bloody ass,oh wait am sorry, I don't think think he can, theres a stick already up there."

He grimaces, at that moment Sandras car pulls up and i get in.

"Drive"

She wastes no time and do as I say.

After we've left the estate and driving into Lagos proper she breaks the silence.

"You wanna tell me why justice looks like he swallowed something bitter?"

"He always looks like that"

"Yeah, you're probably right"

She glances at me and we burst out laughing, that shit was funny.

"Love your dress babe "

I smile, my little black dress is an off the shoulder gown, it has a deep back that If i bend a little way you might get a peek at the two dimples on my lower back.

The front was something else, showing just he right amount of cleavage.

I bought it in a rare moment of weakness, cloths and shoes are my kryptonite.

We get to the club and I see it's an upscale one, I could see some paparazzi standing outside, sandra drives her car up and we get valet parking.

We step out and we don't bother to stand in the line and go in directly.

The Jacobs name at work.

We make our way to the bar, by this time it was already dark out, I order a cosmopolitan and Sandra orders a bloody mary.

I sip at my drink after opening a tab, I plan on getting wasted, after Alec's behavior and Sage's attitude, not to mention justices encounter, I deserve to get wasted.

After drink number 3, I and Sandra make our way to the dance floor, I could feel my self feeling lighter, I close my eyes let the music carry me.

I always loved dancing, I could dance for hours on end, I countinue.

In a little while I feel a of hand around my waist , I see a guy close to my age and I smile at him, I was too far gone.

I look at Sandra and see her shaking her head at Me no, I shake my head back and close my eyes, i grind at the guy behind me, enjoying the feeling.

All of a sudden the hands around my waist are gone and I turn around and see sage pummeling the guy,yes, pummeling.

I scream and he stops and turns to me, by now the music has since stopped and everyone was watching.

"You let him touch what's mine!"

He growls , yes growls,if I wasn't more than a little tipsy,I would have debated ho that was possible, I blink he countinues.

"You bloody gave your self to me last evening julliet Maxwells, you do not let any asshole touch you, you are bloody mine!"

At this point Sandra was already gasping.

I just blinked, interpreting this brand of madness,

"Answer me dammit."

"Do not swear at me sage Jacobs "

At this stage I was beyond caring who was watching.

"I will bloody swear at you if it gets you to put it through thick beautiful skull, you are mine."

"I am nobody's "

He stills and in the moment I knew the meaning of 'calm before a storm'.

"Come here"

He says it so quietly I am scared, I hesitate.

"Go to him , please julliet, don't let him loose control"

I shake my head no, he can't ignore me for the better part of today and expect me to jump when he says so.

"So help me God julliet,if you do not come here right now, I won't be held liable for what I do ."

I do not budge.

He takes a step forward, I take one back he stills and so do I, he doesn't like that , I remember, he gets to me and pulls my head to his.

He kisses me so wildly it can also be synonymous to ravaging.

I moan into his mouth and he breaks the kiss.

I see people taking photos of this drama and I know this will be spread on gossip magazines tomorrow.

He tugs on my hair,and I look back to him, he kisses me again, softly this time.

He lifts his head and gazes into my eyes, he whispers softly.

"Who do you belong to?"

I know nothing else to do but acquiesce.

"You."

He smiles and a dimple pops out.

"Good."
