Chapter 2: CHAPTER TWO: BUSINESS AS USUAL

I sat down on my expensive leather chair, overlooking the beautiful view that New York City offered. After spending almost nine hours of working tirelessly, looking at the best view that the city could offer was the best. It relaxed me and put me at ease, finally I could enjoy the little free time that I had.

My office telephone rang. With a roll of my eyes, I answered it. Mentally wondering whom it was that would want to bother me.

"Hello” I answered the phone, hoping that this was not another important meeting

"Sir it's me Ceci. I just wanted to inform you that Mr. Kyle is on his way up .I tried to stop him but he just walked right past me” My personal assistant informed me and I smiled at myself, Kyle was my best friend and often he treated my office as though it was his.

Kyle was a ladies man and from time to time, he would date one of my personal assistants and just dump them, unfortunately for him, Ceci had never fallen for his charms.

"It’s okay Ceci, don’t you bother with him” I replied to my personal assistant and ended the call. Not long after my best friend barged into my office.

"Hey Felix my brother, how are you today?" Kyle walked in, raising his voice and making his presence known

"I always ask myself, if there will ever be a day when you my friend would walk into my office and be quiet” I joked with Kyle and in return he smiled back at me. Without waiting for my permission, Kyle pulled out an office chair and sat down, making himself comfortable as he had always done.

"So Felix, are you going?" Kyle asked me and I raised my eyebrow, questionably. I stared at him with a puzzled expression on my face. With Kyle, I could never quite predict what he would do next.

"Felix it's that snobby Barbie's birthday, how could you forget?" Kyle reminded me and it all came back to me. I knew exactly whom Kyle was talking about.

"Are you perhaps speaking about Jonna Heart?”

"Yeah, I think" Kyle answered. I smiled at Kyle; he clearly did not even know the young woman’s name.

"Kyle how can you go to a party and you don't even know who is throwing the party and on top of that, you are invited to the damn thing?" I asked Kyle. Kyle scratched his head, a sign that meant I was to be involved in his mess.

"Okay Kyle, tell me what it is that you want to tell me?” I asked Kyle as I waited for his answer.

"Well you see. Um I wasn't actually invited, but I was kind of hoping that you were invited, that you know... you could take me along” Kyle informed me. I stared at my friend in utter disbelief that he was depending on me to attend a party.

"So what you're saying is that you want me to tag you along to some party?” I patiently asked Kyle, hoping that his senseless idea would make sense.

"Exactly!” He responded, enthusiastically.

"Well I have news for you my friend. I'm not attending that party" I responded to Kyle and his facial expression went from happy to sad.

"What? Why not?” Kyle questioned me; clearly, I had burst his bubble.

"I just don't want to be there that's all, parties are not my scene and you know it". I responded, hoping that it was enough to keep Kyle from asking more questions.

Kyle stared at me with a questionable look on his face and his face lit up as though he had just had an idea.

"This is about Stephanie right?” Kyle asked me and I was in no mood to go along with his theories.

"No. Why would you even think that?" I asked him, turning my attention to the clock on the wall.

"Because last time I checked Stephanie was Jonna Hearts best friend, before she tried to seduce you into her bed and when Stephanie found out she broke off their friendship and your engagement" Kyle responded. This response brought back old memories that Felix would have liked to keep away.

"Stephanie and I broke up for reasons other than what you’ve mentioned. I just don't want to go and why would Jonna Heart even invite me is beyond me" I replied, as I tried to make sense of it all.

"Maybe she wants some you now and besides there might be other pretty girls that wouldn't mind throwing themselves onto you". Kyle hinted. For more than a year now Kyle has been trying to get me into a relationship and I still maintained that I was not interested.

"Too bad, I'm not interested” I answered, hoping that this time Kyle would get the message.

"Felix please, do not tell me you haven't” Kyle stated. I stared at him puzzled at his assumption.

"When last did you get laid?” he asked me and I rolled my eyes one more time at him.

"Kyle, please not this again” I begged him, hoping that he would stop but even I was smart enough to know that Kyle was not the type to give up easily.

"Felix!"

Silence

"Felix when?" Kyle pushed for more info.

"Okay, okay about a year and a half ago. Are you happy now Kyle?” I told him, giving into his demand.

"No wonder you've been having mood swings ever since Stephanie left”

"Look, if I go to the party with you would you please leave me alone with this getting laid plan?" I tried to bargain with Kyle.

"How about we go to the party and you get laid with anyone and I swear on your secretary's life, I won't bother you again. Agree?" I stared at Kyle intensely and he held out his hand to shake on the deal.

"Okay deal" I responded. We both shook hands and after a while long of talking, Kyle left my office. With his leaving, he allowed me some breathing space and that I was thankful.

Thank the heavens he left.

The next morning I found myself in a room that I had not recognized and when I stretched out my hand, I felt hair, not my hair, because this hair was long as of a woman.

I quickly positioned myself in a sitting position, only to find a, blond woman sleeping besides me. I could not make out her face. I looked under the covers only to find that I was naked and so was she. I quickly got out of the bed and dressed myself. I was about to leave and I heard a woman's voice call me. When I turned around to see who it was it was the woman on the bed.

"Hey sweetheart” She called out to me. My heart stopped as I saw who it was.

"Jonna Heart? What are you doing here?” I asked her.

"Oh please Felix, do not act like you don't remember what happened".

"Of course I don't remember what happened and I would really like an explanation immediately!” I yelled at her.

"Okay. After my party last night, you drank a little too much and you started confessing your love for me. You said that you felt bad for choosing Stephanie over me and that I was the right woman for you. Then you dragged me to one of my guest rooms and that's how we both made magic” I stared at her in utter disbelief. I knew that it could not have been the sensible side of me talking; I did not even like Jonna from the start.

"Good bye Jenna and for your information, I would never confess any feelings towards you even if I had gone completely mad" I told her and it seemed as though my words had no effect on her.

I walked out of her room and slammed the door behind me. I no longer wanted to see her again. After a night like this, I might never even have another drink again.
