His Little Pet

"Hold on, what are you talking about? Altered how?"

She moved over to the loveseat and I sat next to her. She started going over certain things in the paperwork that didn't add up to her, and it actually all made sense. I don't know how I didn't see it earlier.

"How did you even pick these things out in a matter of minutes?"

I was genuinely curious at this point.

"I've learned about more than just marketing management, to say the least. I've grown up with family members in all sorts of occupations. You probably didn't notice anything off before because you were surprised at the initial result it had shown."

I looked at her with complete and utter amazement, and she just flashed that adorable smile of hers.

"It would explain the sudden interest in getting you involved. She has virtually nothing, and you have, well... everything. A stable job, an amazing home, and plenty of money. She makes you think he's your son, and in turn, she gets a payout from you. As well as probably pawning him off on you."

"Well in that case, I'll get someone to see about these results as soon as possible. But in the meantime, we'll just play along with the little scheme of hers. I should have known she was up to no good the moment she stepped into my office."

She gave another smile and placed a hand on my t.h.i.g.h. She drives me absolutely crazy, everything about this woman was perfect. And what she did now just added onto the madness for her.

I couldn't help it, I grabbed her in my arms and pulled her into a kiss. I slid my tounge over her bottom lip and she parted them in acceptance. Our tounges danced around in eachothers mouths, and I could feel myself already getting hard.

I don't what it is about her that turns me on so much, but I love it either way. I wanted so badly to pick up where we left off, but I knew this meeting needed to be taken care of. I reluctantly pulled away.

"What was that for?" She asked with a smile.

"I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me. You amaze me more and more each day, and I'm thankful to have you. I love you, Kätzchen."

~~~~~

There it was again. "I love you." That's the second time he's said that now, and I still honestly have no idea how to react or respond to that. I guess I'm still trying to figure all of this stuff out for myself... I mean it's not like I can base my feelings off of other relationsh.i.p.s, because I've never been in a actual one before.

I hated not responding to that, or saying it back. But I can't... not now at least.

"I guess we should head out to that meeting then.." I said as I looked away from his piercing gaze.

He was silent a moment before getting up.

"Lets head out then."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me up, interlocking our fingers as we headed for the door.

~~~~~

I lounged on the loveseat in my office, finally getting a little rest in from the nonstop meetings this week.

Knock knock.

I opened my eyes but said nothing. Hoping whoever it was would go away.

Knock knock knock.

"Roman, I know you're in there."

What could she possibly want now? More money? I didn't want to let her in, but I knew she wouldn't leave on her own. I stood up, making my way to the door, and reluctantly opened it.

"Airi, what is it you want now? Now isn't-"

I abruptly stopped, as I was quietly interrupted by a small voice.

"Mommy, why are we here? Who's this man?"

I looked down to see a small child standing beside Airi, holding her hand. It was like my mind and body were stuck... looking down at the innocent look he was giving me.

"Don't stare hun, it's not polite. This here is Roman, and this is his work place. You'll be seeing a lot more of him soon, so I wanted to introduce you. Go on, say hello."

He let go of her hand and stepped a little closer to me, looking up once again.

"Hello Mr. Roman. My names Koda."

"Hello... Airi, can I talk with you a moment. Alone."

She looked at me, then Koda.

"Here sweety, take your bag and go over and check out the books okay?"

A huge smile plastered over his face as she said that, and he took off towards the wall of books.

I moved to my desk and sat down, she took a seat across from me.

"He really likes books, doesn't he?"

"He loves them. He chooses books over toys any day. He gets that from you, you know."

I looked back towards him and sighed. He sat in the corner of the room with a book in his l.a.p. He's only three, how is he so interested in books? Can he even read them?

I looked back towards Airi, who was smiling at me.

"What are you doing here with him Airi?"

"What do you mean?"

She looked at him then back at me, lowering her voice a little.

"He's your son Roman, I thought you'd want to at least see him."

"I'd like to know before you just decide to bring him here. Don't you think you're taking this a little fast? Have you told him already?"

She sat back in her seat and crossed her legs.

"Not yet. I wanted you two to meet first, see what he thinks about you. He's very skeptical of new people."

"Airi, you can't just keep showing up here whenever you feel like it, this is-"

Just then my phone rang. It was Kätzchen. I instantly stopped what I was saying to answer.

"Hello Kätzchen. What is it?"

Shit. I almost forgot about the dinner we had planned for tonight. I'm going to be late...

"No no, I'm on my way now. Something came up.. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

"No, everything's fine. Just an unexpected visitor... yes, I know. I didn't know either. I'll let you go now, I'm heading out. I'll see you soon Kätzchen."

I hung up the phone and Airi just gave me an odd look. She obviously wasn't thrilled about this, she probably already knew who was on the other line.

"So that's it, you're just going to leave? We just got here Roman."

I walked over to her, pulled her up out of the chair, and towards the door. She called Koda over, who seemed to not want to let the book go.

"What do you expect Airi? You show up unexpectedly with a child I've never met before, and expect me to drop everything I'm doing to please your needs. I have a life, I have things planned, and I'm not just throwing them aside for you."

Next thing I know, I feel a small hand tugging at my pants. I look down to see Koda at my side, clutching the book to his c.h.e.s.t.

"Mr. Roman, could I borrow this book from you please? I really like it."

I just stated down at him for a moment, then keeled down to face him. I may want nothing to do with his mother, but he did seem like a sweet kid. Whether he's mine or not.

"Of course you can. Keep it as long as you like okay?"

With that he exploded with excitement. Jumping up and down, tugging on Airi's dress.

"Mommy, did you hear that? He said I can keep it as long as I want to! When can we come back to see Mr. Roman? I like him, he let's me borrow books."

She looked down at him and sighed.

"I don't know sweetie. We'll have to see later okay? Now let's go, so Roman can get back to him plans."

She grabbed his hand and started walking away. I stood back up and went to close the door.

"Thank you Mr. Roman!"

He turned around and waved goodbye before continuing on with his mother. He really was a sweet kid...

I strolled back over to my desk yo grab my jacket, then hurried out of the building. I needed to get to that restaurant quickly... I already know Kätzchen's mind is probably running wild knowing that I'm going to be late because of Airi...
