What the heart wants

" I don't get why you're so upset. You get to go home."

" Did you even pay attention to a word I just said?!" Aria exclaimed and Zayn shrugged as he helped her pack her suitcase.

" So what, he's coming with you. Big deal."

" This is going to be so awkward." She groaned.

" Why?"

" Because he's my boss!"

" Are you sure?, Or is it cause you fear that you might fall harder in love with him."

" Okay, first, you and I both know that I don't like him. And second, if I was ever going to fall in love with him, I would have fallen in love with him on the various business trips went on together. In different countries. Therefore, I think I'm safe."

" Yes ma'am."

" I don't like that gown."

" Too late! It's in the case."

She sighed then suddenly sat up.

" Did you send the measurements to-"

" Took you long enough." He retorted sarcastically.
" Yes, I have. Although I still don't get why you told me to add 2 inches to your original measurements."

" Ugghh! I already told you. Knowing my cousin, she'll probably want our dresses to be skin tight. So, the additional inches will make sure I have enough room to breathe and that I don't have to waddle like a penguin." She explained.

" Whatever you say. You do know you're going to be late for work, right?"

" Oh shit!"

" Well good morning Aria." Jacob, Jared's best friend greeted with his famous 'fuck me' smile.

" Good morning Mr McClellan." Aria replied with a small smile on her face.

" You look absolutely mesmerising today." Jacob said.

" Thank you sir."

Had it been another male, Jared would have been worried. But Jacob was his best friend and he knew that Aria was immune to his charms.

" Here's your coffee Mr King."

" Thank you Aria." He replied with a small smile.

" What I would give to tap that." Jacob muttered staring at Aria's derriere as she walked out of his office.

" I would love it if you refrain from referring to my personal assistant like she's a piece of meat."

" Dude how do you survive?, If I had an assistant as sexy as that I would have died of sexual frustration!"

" Jacob!" Jared warned.

He didn't blame him though, Aria did have a sexy body.

" That's my personal assistant you're talking about."

" I'm just saying, if she were working for me things would have definitely gotten more...personal."

" You're a pig."

" Where's Aria?" His father asked noticing Aria's absence.

" She went to the mall to get something's for her younger cousins." Elizabeth, Aria's mother replied.

The adults continued their conversation while he just played games on his phone.

" Ah!, There she is. Imade!"

Jared looked up and gulped.

" Damn." He mumbled.

She wore a loose floral patterned top with a white chemise underneath paired with the same floral patterned shorts that ended mid thigh. On her feet were a pair of golden sandals that matched the colour of her eyes. Her hair was as straight as a pin and she wore dark shade to cover her eyes.

He couldn't take his eyes off the smooth skin of her thighs and legs. Thoughts of having his head buried between her thighs crossed his mind and he felt himself stir.

" Aria! Darling, you look beautiful." His mother complimented.

She finally took off her sun glasses and smiled widely.

" Thank you."

" Are you ready?" Her father asked and she nodded.

" Yes dad."

" Great, let's get going then."

" Welcome to Nigeria Kings!" Her father exclaimed.

She could see the look of awe on the faces of their guests and chuckled. She put her shades on and went to retrieve her bags. It was mostly filled with goodies for her younger cousins but it was very heavy.

" Need any help with that?" She heard Jared ask from behind her.

" No." She replied.

He rolled his eyes and took the bags from her effortlessly.

" Thanks."

" It's not a problem."

" Imade! Jared!, The driver's here."

" Yes mum." She replied.
" Come on, let's go. I just hope traffic isn't heavy."

" Is the traffic here that bad?"

" Oh you have no idea.
