Remember when I said that it was her extravagant birthday that would have made the news?
Well it was in fact not that , but the fact that her son brought home a black woman who had his kids.
I was in the office Monday morning with Lia when she came and showed me the news, "Umm when were you going to tell me about what happened?"
I took the phone from her hands and saw the news and my babies' face were blurred. At least they had enough sense to do that.
"Their wasn't much to tell. I already told you that it was awful so nothing much. Plus you were busy yesterday." I shrugged organizing the papers on my desk.
"I don't care if it was a Sunday. You should have called."
I sighed as I packed the files in my drawer and I slightly shifted my hair and she gasped, "what is it?"
"No" she said covering her mouth as she pointed to my neck and I touched the spot and then realized why she was startled.
"Oh this. It's just umm-"
"You guys had sex!?" she asked cutting me off before I could even explain.
"No! I mean we were going to when we he dropped me off Saturday evening, but he said no."
"Really?" she asked in disbelief, "does he have a girlfriend?" she asked sounding confused and I sighed remembering Ana.
I had totally forgotten about her and now I was upset and a little jealous.
"He does doesn't he?" she asked folding her arms and I nodded.
"Apparently she is Russian and her name is Ana," I said sighing, "she is is 'company'"
"Ughh it's always the Russians. They always want Korean boyfriends and treat them exotic and address them by 'my Korean boyfriend'" she said scowling.
"Yeah I know right. I always find it weird how they never use their names and address their relationship as 'international couples', but it's not my business."
"I bet she is blonde with blue eyes" she said and I nodded my head agreeing when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" I called out and in came Shiwoo with a bouquet of flowers."
"Hi" he said as he walked in closing the door and Lia wiggled her eyebrows at me, "I was going to call before I dropped by, but I wanted to surprise you with these. I didn't know what are your favorites so I got you all the options."
I smile at how nervous he looked and outstretched my arm taking the flowers and gave them a sniff, "thank you. They are beautiful."
He chuckled nervously as he scratched the nape of his neck, "I'm relieved. I was worried that you wouldn't like them."
Lia cleared her throat to remind us that she was here and we whipped our head into her direction where she stood with her arms crossed, "so Shiwoo, how is Ana?"
I saw Shiwoo's face fell and he looked at me and I shrugged, "Umm I don't know. She is fine I guess."
He was nervous as he should be, but I was not going to help.
He should be glad that it was Lia and not me.
"So you got yourself out of one engagement into another huh? Old habits seem to die hard." she tisked and he began to fidget.
I went into my bathroom to fill the vase with water to pot the flowers and left her eating him alive.
"Do you love Tally? What are your intentions? How much does Anna mean to you?" I returned to hear her asking and I decided that he had had enough.
"Okay that's enough interrogating for a day. Shiwoo would you like to go for Coffee?"
"Yes please" he said exiting the room first and I looked over at Lia and she raised both her hands in defense.
"It's just general questions that's all" I shook my head at her and grabbed my jacket and purse before leaving.
I boarded the elevator and met him in the lobby standing awkward.
"Hello Mr. Ana, ready to go?" I teased before stepping out the door pulling him along, "how about the café that we used to go to? I haven't been there for years."
I handed him my car keys and we got into the car and headed to the café.
The interior of the place was was still the same, but as expected the employees were different.
It was still quiet and homey and the food was still good and I ordered my all time favorite, a strawberry smoothie and a blueberry muffin.
"So what's up?" I asked as we sat down waiting on our order.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see you." he said grinning and I smiled.
"You look goofy. It's cute"
He kept smiling from ear to ear and I chuckled at him rolling my eyes, "so are you going to tell me about your girlfriend or am I going to have to stay in the dark?"
He sighed as slouched obviously wanting to talk about anything, but this "she thinks she owns me so it's just casualties. No feelings are attached, but she is obsessed and I cant shake her. I have a feeling that me ending up in jail was because I refused to continue on with her the night I got caught."
I hummed tapping my chin as he spoke gathering the information, "you brought her here and yet you suspect her? Is this a keep your enemies close kind of thing?"
"I'm starting to think that it is. I didn't start suspecting her until the other night when I rejected her gain. Atalia I want you to know that I had stopped messing with her ever since I got back and the blowjob on the plain was the last time."
I raised an eyebrow at his sudden confession not remembering when it was that I had asked, "okay? Did you blow her or her you?"
"I have never went down on her and I never will. I admit we did have sex, but it's just that. I feel disgusted now and I know that you must feel must worst."
"Hmm no. not really" I said shrugging, "we weren't together so that's not cheating."
He sighed knowing that I was upset and was just being passive aggressive.
"Did you kiss her on the lips?" I asked touching my lips remembering our kiss.
"A few times during sex yeah, but apart from that, not willingly."
I nodded again humming feeling as if I had heard enough so I stayed quiet as we waited on our orders.
It thankfully came shortly after and we decided to just finish it here and just talk about the case while we were here.
Might as well I guess
