Chapter 72 - I Will Do It

Immediately Tom left, Lucy shut the door and walked over to the couch where she collapsed. She lay there with her eyes closed as she thought of Tom. What was she going to do about him? Perhaps she should do as Lucas had suggested? Maybe if she were to have sex with him and let him become her first lover he would stop hounding her this way? Lucy sighed and sat up after a while.

She was startled when she heard the doorbell ring again and stood up almost immediately. Was he back? Did he leave something? Or did he want to continue with her from where he stopped? She asked herself as she slowly walked over to the door to see who was standing there. She opened the door, and much to her surprise it was Jasmine.

"Hi!" Jasmine greeted with a cheerful smile, while Lucy stared at her blankly wondering why she was standing in front of her door.

"His apartment is the next one, and he is not home," Lucy said, assuming Jasmine was there to see Tom.

"I'm aware. But I'm not here for Tom. You're the one I came to see," Jasmine said with a polite smile, making Lucy raise a brow in surprise as she stepped away from the door for Jasmine to get inside.

"Thanks," Jasmine said with a soft smile as she stepped inside the house. She took off her sneakers by the door and looked around the house before walking further inside to sit on the couch.

"Do you care for anything?" Lucy asked politely.

"A glass of water will do. Thanks," Jasmine said with a polite smile, and Lucy nodded as she walked over to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. She stepped out a moment later with the glass and handed it to Jasmine.

"Thank you," Jasmine said with a polite smile as she sipped from the glass, "I know you must be wondering why I came to see you," Jasmine started after Lucy had sat down.

"Yes, I am."

"I saw you and your driver earlier... I mean before he left," Jasmine said, making Lucy's heart skip a beat.

She had seen them? How much did she see? The last thing she wanted was a rumor going around that she was having an affair with her driver, "It's not what you think. That wasn't anything. He just likes to play around that way at times," Lucy said, and Jasmine smiled.

"What I saw wasn't a man playing around. It looks like something is going on between you two, or maybe something happened... Don't worry, I'm not here to judge or gossip. I just... I... We need your help," Jasmine said with a nervous smile on her face now.

"My help? What for? Who is the WE?" Lucy wondered with a crease on her brow, as she adjusted her glasses on her nose.

"I and my wife, Alicia," Jasmine explained, making realization dawn on Lucy.

Jasmine was a lesbian? The other girl with her a few days ago was her wife? If that was the case, why were they flirting with Tom? Did they want a threesome? Why was she here to talk to her? What help did lesbians need from her?

"We want to start a family. Alicia has refused to have kids since we got married three years ago. She was looking for a suitable father material... And the first day we saw Tom, she decided that she wanted him to be the father of our child..." Jasmine said, making Lucy gasp in surprise.

"You want him to donate his sperm?" She asked in disbelief, making Jasmine wince.

"I know it sounds absurd, considering the fact that we just met, and we are not even close to him. We haven't told him yet. We want to establish a friendship with him before raising the subject. So when we saw the both of you earlier, Alicia decided that we get your consent first, since you are in a kind of relationship with him..."

"I'm not," Lucy denied. She didn't want them to get the wrong idea. Tom was just her neighbor and her driver, nothing more, and nothing less.

Jasmine nodded her head, "That means you don't care about how we go about it? Even if Alicia seduces him? He doesn't have to know," Jasmine said, making Lucy frown.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to get close to him before telling him what you want? Why are you now saying he doesn't have to know?" Lucy asked with a frown.

"We might have no reason to tell him since you're not in a relationship with him. We just wanted to make sure he was single," Jasmine explained, "Can you not tell him we had this conversation?"

"I can't promise you anything. But I think you should ask him and if he is willing he will give it to you. And if he isn't, you can find someone else," Lucy said matter of factly.

Jasmine gave Lucy a nod as she dropped the glass on the table and stood up, "Thanks for your time."

Lucy saw her off to the door, and after she left Lucy picked up her phone to give Sonia a call. She needed to at least find out if Sonia had been able to find out anything about her boss, and also tell her what she had found out about her boss, and also about the recent development in her relationship with Tom.

Meanwhile, in Bryan's apartment, he had a scowl on his face during dinner as he listened to Matt and Sonia converse like they have been best friends forever. If he heard one more 'Did you know that Sonia...' from Matt, he was going to kill the traitor and kill himself.

"You don't seem to be in a very good mood, what's the problem?" Sonia asked with a concerned smile as she ate.

"He is fine. Just grumpy. Bryan hates it when he doesn't have his way," Matt told Sonia with a grin, and she smiled.

"Oh! I see," Sonia said with a smile. She glanced at her phone when it vibrated with a text message notification and picked it up when she saw that it was from Lucy, "Hey! Can you talk right now?"

"Excuse me for a moment, I need to make a call," Sonia said as she stood up from the dining and walked away with her phone.

"What is WRONG with you?" Bryan snapped at Matt the moment Sonia disappeared.

"What do you mean?" Matt asked with a grin.

"I called you here to get rid of her, not become her best friend!" Bryan said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing angrily as he glared at Matt.

"Relax. All this is part of my plan to make her fall for me. She already guessed the reason I came over, so I'm trying to play a different role," Matt explained.

"You are?" Bryan asked surprised, "But wait, how did she know why you are here?" Bryan asked curiously.

"She is way smarter than you give her credit for. Just quit scowling at her all day long, and start acting more like Bryan Hank! You're an actor, play the fucking role!" Matt muttered under his breath.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Sonia lay on the bed as she dialed Lucy's line, "Hey baby! Why didn't you just call?" Sonia asked immediately Lucy received the call.

"I thought you would be writing, or busy with Bryan, and I didn't want to interrupt," Lucy explained.

"I keep telling you, I'm ALWAYS available to you. Even if I'm having sex, I would slide that dick out of me to take your call, don't you get it?" Sonia asked, making Lucy giggle.

"I love you too. How are you?" Lucy asked changing the subject.

"I'm alright. I was just in the middle of dinner with Bryan and his best friend. What about you? How are you?" Sonia asked curiously.

"I'm okay. I wanted to find out if you've learned anything about my boss," Lucy said making Sonia sigh.

"Not yet. But Matt says he is very handsome and nice," Sonia assured Lucy.

"Well, I don't think so. He was at the office today, and he was very weird," Lucy said, before going on to give Sonia the details.

"You only feel this way because he is your boss. Anyway, how is Tom?" Sonia asked curiously.

"That is the second reason I called. He's acting weird," Lucy complained.

"How come everyone is acting weird around you? What did he do?" Sonia asked, and listened as Lucy narrated everything to her.

"Wait! Do you mean he didn't do it that night? But you thought he did?" Sonia asked in disbelief, making Lucy wince in embarrassment.

"Yes," Lucy said, as she went on to explain the situation.

Sonia burst into a fit of laughter before Lucy could finish, "I really don't know what to think of that guy. I like him, and at the same time I don't like him because he likes someone else and wants you to help him get her," Sonia said with a sigh.

"What should I do? Do you think maybe I should let him do it? So that we can get over it?" Lucy asked, making Sonia smile.

"You know very well what I'm going to say. So go for it," Sonia said happily, "It's best you do it with him now that he isn't dating anyone yet," Sonia added.

"You are right.. I will do it," Lucy said with determination.
