Page 160 of Rhet

I have some work to complete, “Enjoy youself.”

“You know I’m still your employee Rhet,” I giggle.

He stands to the back of my chair and looks down at me “I know what you really are Zeeta,” he says cryptically.

Rhet walks away leaving me wondering if he was ok.

RHET

Grabbing my grey jeans, I slide them on while Julian is on speaker phone.

“Rhet I’m telling you. I found nothing on her, she is clean. “

“I’m thinking about proposing to her,”

Julian pauses “You married to one woman?”

“The hell. I would be a fucking great husband.”

I sigh placing my hand on my hips looking down at my phone “I don’t know,” I confess.

“Don’t know what?” Julian replies.

I begin pacing my room “Last time I fell for a woman she betrayed me with Barrett.”

“Rhet, she loves you.” Julian warns.

“Does she though?” I question.

“She does. Get the ring”

I pull my black t-shirt over my head, “I got to go.”

I didn’t give Julian chance to say goodbye, I hang up.

Leaving my room, I walk down the stairs waiting for Zeeta near the pool. She decided to change her clothes in a different room. I guess to surprise me.

“Hey, you ready?” she asks I turn around only to lose my breath.

“You’re so beautiful,” I mutter.

She blushes her thanks, “Its princess Jasmine inspired.”

She steps right in front of me, her eyes sparkle as she looks into mine.

“Princess who?”

“Oh my God Rhet. Jasmine. It’s the off the shoulder, bellowing sleeves look.”

I pass my hand over her tummy “What is this tie for?” I pull at it.

“It’s to accentuate my waist. I like the slit most of all.” She wiggles her eye-brows

I take her hand and turn her around. Her hair swishes on her back as she moves.

Julian is right, I should give her a chance. I push my feelings to the back. I pull her closer to me and kiss the top of head.

“Tarek opened a restaurant with a friend of his here called Unwind,” I tell her as I smell the coconut oil in her hair.
