《To New York》Chapter 20 : Gloomy
Advertisement
Today was a cold, rainy Friday morning and I couldn't be any happier. Rainy days back home were my favorite, the smell of wet soil after it had rained the previous day was one of my favorite smells . The gloomy days with dark, heavy clouds were like a scene in a horror movie,it was scary but fascinating. As grown as I am I still find playing in rain puddles fun, my mom would always go off on me when I came home with wet, tangled hair. Rainy days in New York didn't differ from the ones back home, I was located on the 2nd floor but I still had the best view of the gloomy sky. I could sit here and admire the sky the whole day but I had to get to work. I walked away from the window and sat on my bed to put on my heels.
I hurriedly walked out of my room into the kitchen to grab a granola bar, apple and a bottle of water before grabbing my purse and my rental car keys off the counter. I eventually got tired of taking cabs to work, only because recently I've been working till night time and for my safety I decided to rent a car. I'm currently saving up for one but for now, this will do. I walked out of my apartment and locked the door tossing the keys into my purse,our elevator was having trouble so I took the stairs down to the lobby. I exited the building and literally ran to the car. Once inside the car I connected my phone to the car and played some tunes as I drove to work, B. I. T. C. HÂ by Megan Thee Stallion came on and my morals flew out the window as I twerk-drove while rapping along with Megan
"Why you wanna play with me? You know I'm undefeated
A real hot girl, know how to keep a nigga heated
You say you want respect, well treat me how you wanna be treated
You told me 'keep it real' but you don't practice what you preaching"

I rolled the window down and the cold breeze entered the car causing my hair to move all over the place, I tucked some of my hair behind my ear. My phone rang cutting the music off, I looked at the screen and a wide grin spread on my face. I pressed the green button to answer
"TATA !" (Daddy) I said excitedly, I haven't spoken to my Dad in a long time so I was so happy to hear from my old man
"Ntombhi ka Tata, unjani kodwa MaBhukwana?" (Daddy's girl, how are you?) he said sounding excited as me
"Ndiphilile Tata, Kuya khumbhuleka ekhayeni kodwa but how are you old man?" (I'm doing good father just missing home but how are you you old man?) I said before making a right turn
"Ndiphilile mntanam, I'm sure you'll get to visit home soon. Ndiyazi 'qhenya ngawe mntanam, at a young age you're already making a name for yourself. You grew up so fast that it's so hard to believe that you are the same little girl I brought home from the hospital, I promised to assist you reach your goals and highest capabilities and seeing you blossom today brings me so much joy. You and your brother make me feel so proud, I hope and pray that your sisters follow in your steps. Keep on paving the way for your sisters " (I'm doing good my child /I'm proud of you my child) I sniffed holding my tears back, hearing my father say these words was heart warming. It felt so good to know that I made my parents proud, I owed them everything.
" You don't know how good it feels to hear you say those words Papa, I'm so grateful for having supportive parents like you and mama. I would have never been able to achieve all of this without you guys, I love you so much" I said as I drove into the company's parking lot
"We would do anything for you and your siblings, you guys are our precious gifts in life and we love you guys whole heartedly" he said before continuing, " I must go now Nana, farewell" he said calling me by my childhood nickname

"Okay Papa, send my regards to the family" I said switching off the car and gathering my stuff
"Okay baby, bye" he said before he hung up, I tossed my phone into my purse and exited the car. I locked the car before taking the elevator to my floor, I was in a good mood today so hopefully this day goes by smoothly
"Everything seems fine, I just scanned through the file but you must have accidentally missed the last paper because you didn't sign it" I said to Ms Jones as we spoke over the phone as I paged the file she sent to me
"The last paper actually requires Mr Reigns's signature to approve everything, you can give it to him to sign today so we can finalize everything today and get the money transferred to the accounts " she said over the phone
"Okay" I said hurriedly before ending the call, my breathing quickened as my body instantly became heated. Just the thought of seeing him again caused knots in my stomach, I have done a great job at avoiding him these past few weeks. I communicated with his assistance, Jane to get things to him. Seeing him again made me nervous but still a little bit excited to see him, just a little bit. The little things about him drove me crazy like his cologne, his gaze on me, his smirk, his posture, his voice, his perfectly styled hair, his eye color, his touch, everything about him set me edge. Although I have been keeping my distance from him, my feelings for him haven't faded like I wish they would have . I couldn't contact Jane because she was in Miami handling business so that gave me no choice but to go myself. After 30 minutes of thinking how I was going to approach him, I finally took the file off the table and left the office into the elevator pressing the 15th button leading to the floor above. The elevator ride was so short I arrived on his floor sooner than I wanted, time to face the music huh?! I stepped out of the elevator and headed towards his office. I knocked when I arrived in front of his office door, I exhaled heavily while I waited for a response. I heard a him shout 'come in', I counted to ten before entering. Leonardo stood behind his desk buttoning his shirt... Okaaay. I don't think he acknowledged me because he was busy fixing himself so I decided to make my presents known
"Good morning Mr Reigns" I said trying not to stutter, he snapped his head in my direction locking eyes with me. His beautiful eyes stared intensively at me, I felt a shiver crawl down my spine. I can't lie and say he doesn't look breathtaking, his normally pushed back hair was all over the place. A strand of hair fell on his face, I wanted to reach out and tuck it away so bad. I broke eye contact and cleared my throat
"I-" I was about to state the reason behind my 'visit' but got interrupted by a half naked girl emerging out of the bathroom that was attached to his office ,what the hell?!
She walked towards Leonardo's desk , her ass cheeks jiggling with every step she took. Her body was covered in ink, her tattoos were sexy . Her ass was probably the biggest one I've ever seen also the FAKEST! her tiny waist highlighted her obviously fake curves but her legs were built like chopsticks . Her black hair was in curls that bounced every time when she took steps. She was so confident in her skin, it was evident by the way she walked across the room. I turned to look at Leonardo and saw lust in his eyes when he looked at her, I swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat. He used to look at me like that...
