35.

Korey

People, you gotta love 'em.

"Korey, you are so awesome, Mr Wilson is so lucky to have you," Jonny, the junior accountant says with a smile.

"I totally agree with Jonny," Bianca, the new intern replies.

"Thank you, guys, I have a feeling you and I are going to be best friends," I giggle and he hugs me.

"Girl, me too, we should go out for coffee sometime, Starbuck?" Bianca asks.

I hiss, "Not Starbuck, a very embarrassing incident there recently."

Jonny places his hand on his chest and gasps, "Oh girl, what happened?"

"I'll tell you that over coffee, give me your number and we'll talk," I say, I open my bag and take my phone out, and hand it to him to put his number in my phone, he gives it back to me and I see that he has saved himself as 'Zaddy Jon' with a devil emoji and give the phone to Bianca so she can save her number.

"Jonny, seriously," I laugh, "You'll get me killed."

Jonny laughs "Girl, he won't mind."

"It's lunchtime Jonny, we have to go shopping, remember," Bianca says, looking at her watch.

"Shit, girl, let's go. Kiki you wanna come with us? The company is having this fundraiser on Friday and we had made a plan to go shopping for something fabulous to wear," Jonny says pretending to do a hair flip.

"I'd love to come with you, let me tell Wade and then we can go," I say

"We'll meet you in the lobby," Bianca says and we both go our separate ways, I look around the room and find Wade talking to two men, that introduced themselves as Mr Ronald Fitzgerald and Mr Ivanov Yates, I walk over to them and stand beside Wade, who instantly puts his hand around my waist.

Over-protective much.

"Need anything baby?" he asks finally giving me his attention, his vibrant green eyes looking into my soul.

"Jonny and Bianca are going shopping during their lunch break and I'm going with them, I just wanted to let you know," I say.

He pulls out his wallet and takes out his platinum card and hands it to me, "Go fun baby and get yourself something to eat and don't forget to call me if anything goes wrong, okay."

I nod, I stand on my toes and kiss his lips, "I'll see you later."

The shock on his face is enough to make me smirk and kiss him again before he can do anything, I scurry away knowing that once we get home, I'm getting my ass spanked but I don't care.

I walk to the elevator and press the button, I turn around and find Wade staring at me with his lust-filled eyes, my body quivers at the thought of what he might do to me, the elevator door opens and I step inside, giving him a wink as the doors close.

Arriving downstairs, I find Bianca and Jonny waiting for me.

"There she is," Jonny announces, "Girl, you are one fashion killer, the dress is too die for."

I blush, "Thank you,, Jonny."

Jonny links arms with me and Bianca and we walk out of the building, they hail for a cab and we get in.

Jonny and Bianca, go on to talk about the even that Wade failed to tell me about, they discuss how they plan on matching their shoes with their bags. For the first time in a while, I feel normal, I now have normal friends, Peter and the gang are great but I have been looking for something normal, something more down to earth and human.

Jonny is a great guy, dark-skinned, tall, and slim, and gay, he has a great personality, he is real and raw, Bianca, beautiful brunette with brown eyes, round face, and long brown hair, she gave off this mama bear vibe, but overall, she's sweet and kind.

"We are here," Jonny sings as he opens the door, we all step out and we walk into the mall, I could tell that this wasn't the average mall, this was a place for the rich and famous, how are these two able to get in?

"Westview, mama's home," Bianca smiles.

"You guys come here often?"

"Oh yes honey, your hubby gives everybody gift cards and coupons for this place, he says he wants everybody looking and feeling their best and he owes almost half this place." Jonny explains as the escalator goes up.

Wades owns this place.

"He didn't tell you?" Jonny questions.

I shake my head, "I don't know if I can tell you guys this but _

Bianca places her hand on my shoulder and smiles at me, "Honey, you can tell us anything, Jonny and I are like a vault."

"You're our baby now," Jonny smiles and pokes my cheek.

I pout, "I am not that small guys."

"Keep telling yourself that, barbie," Jonny laughs, "Now tell us what's up?"

"Wade and I got married recently, as you know but everything was rushed because of reasons I was never told and I've been sensing a vibe that he's been keeping things from me and I don't know what to do?" I explain, "I love him I really do but I don't want this marriage to be built on secrets."

Jonny and Bianca give me a sympathetic look.

"First of all, if Wade really loves you then he should tell you those secrets," Jonny says.

"However, he could have his reasons for not tell you, maybe to protect you or keep you from worrying," Bianca adds.

"Just trust that he'll tell you the truth when he's ready, he loves you and it shows." Jonny smiles.

"Thanks, guys, I guess you're right, I need to trust him more," I reply.

"Good, now let's forget about or woe and shop like single hoes," Jonny says as we step into a Chanel store.

Retail therapy, maybe it's just what the doctor ordered.

For the next hour, Jonny, Bianca and I do some shopping, we get to know each other better, for example, how both Jonny and Bi, started as interns a year apart, Bi is currently interning as part of Human Resources and Jonny has always wanted to be a Make-up artist and fashion mogul but his parents wanted him to have a real job. Just as we are about to end our fun, Wade calls and says Bi and Jonny can take the rest of the day off, to keep me company while he manages the business.

We end up spending an entire afternoon, walking around the mall, taking selfies, and trying all the free samples we can find and after all is done, we settle for a late lunch, at a restaurant called Bonnies.

"Oh my gosh, I'm exhausted," Jonny sighs as he sits down on the chair, Bi sits beside him and I sit opposite Bi, filling the empty chair with our shopping bags.

"Boy, you said it, mama wants some barbeque ribs and chips, with some wines," Bi says loudly and I laugh.

"Well since you've both been so good to me, I'll pay for lunch," I say.

They both cool.

"We should be thanking you boo; we honestly didn't think you'd like Jonny and I's loud asses," Bi confesses, "We honestly thought you'd be a stuck-up bitch."

Bi whispers the last part and I chuckle, "And like you've noticed I'm not."

A waiter arrives at our table and gives us our menus and takes our drink order.

"So how did you and bossman meet?" Jonny asks as he flips through the menu.

"He needed help with some flowers in his garden,"

"And let me guess, you were the most beautiful rose in his garden," Jonny says in a British accent.

I let out a loud laugh and I quickly cover my mouth, "Shit but yeah you're right,"

They continue to grill me about Wade and I's relationship but I change some of the events of our love story not sure if they knew about our kind but they believe me and I walk away feeling less guilty.

We enjoy our lunch and after two hours we decide to go back to the office, we say our goodbyes and I make my way to Wade's office, I find Matthew at the door about to go it and I call for him to wait, he waits for me at the door and when I'm close, he swipes the key card.

"Did you have a good day Mrs Wilson?" he asks as we step in.

"Yes, I did, I can't wait to tell Wade -

And I cannot believe my eyes.

"Oh shit," I hear Tyson say.

Oh, fucking shit indeed.
