ONE-NIGHT STAND'S BILLIONAIRE IS MY BABY'S FATHER

FIVE

REECE WALKER

I woke up to my phone ringing, I was still sleepy and groggy, I moved my hands to the other side of the bed, but there was no one around.

I was with her the previous night but she was gone, I didn’t know why I felt weird that she was gone. I had hoped to wake up next to her, I checked my phone and it was my father calling again, I don’t know what I had to do to the old man to make him understand that I was not interested in running the company after him.

I muted the call and went back to bed, covering my face with the warm duvet as the events of the previous night flowed through my mind.

It was ecstatic and not once in my life did I ever experience such a special moment, she made everything special and I just didn’t understand why she had to run away, I didn’t even get the chance to get her number, or maybe she just didn’t want to see me ever again or maybe she just didn’t want anything to do with me or was shy after the enticing special moment we just had.

I know I might be tripping if I say this, but truth be told I had noticed how she was always looking at me, not her alone I knew I was every girl’s favourite back in high school, and one time when I first met her, I knew she was different from the rest of the girls, though not in a special way but she was just different from the other girls.

While others were after me for fame, she was a naïve and a book nerd always in books and the library most of the time, she spent most of her time at the library or with her friend Keasha, maybe that was the unique thing about her and when I saw her at the club, I knew I wanted to have some alone time with her, maybe it was time for me to venture into this new thing, I mean she was not like the others but I just wanted to have s*x with her.

The only problem was convincing her but maybe I was just lucky, she agreed to go to my place and I knew I had one my chance of getting under her pants, don’t get me wrong though but that is just who I am, I am the bad boy that every girl loves and is after, bad boys are the ladies favourite and I wasn’t an exception either.

My phone's ringtone woke me up from my trance and I knew my father wasn’t going to stop calling me, so I received the call and put it on my loudspeaker.

“What?” I asked bored and my father sighed on the other end, “I know I am probably the last person you want to hear from but I need you at the office in the next one hour.” He said with his commanding voice and I chuckled.

“Right you are the last person I want to hear from, what is it again? I thought I was clear the last time we met, it is on the weekend and I don’t think I am getting out of bed.” I said in a bored tone.

“Son, this is important, it is for your good and our family as well. I think you know or you still haven’t forgotten that this is the same company that is paying all your bills and the warm bed you’re sleeping on and banging all the girls in the city, now will you prepare and meet up in the office in an hour or you want me to stop sending you all the allowances?” he asked and I knew I was nothing without him, in as much as I came from a rich family, I had to work my ass off to get what I needed.

“Okay, okay I know that is the only reason why you still got me on this, otherwise we wouldn’t be bargaining about this every time, I will be there in an hour and Dad,” I said, “Yes what?” he asked with a bored tone, “You don’t want to start barging in my business, whoever I f**k is none of your business,” I said with finality and he chuckled.

“Of course, what else can you do in this world? Prepare and meet me in fifty minutes, don’t forget I own you and you are my son.” He added and then hung up.

I thought my day could get better but I was wrong, I got up from bed and walked straight into the bathroom. I quickly showered and walked back into my room.

I chose a three-piece black tuxedo suit and a pair of black official shoes. I then walked to the dining room, breakfast was ready.

“Hannah, I need the bedding in my room hanged and I have some dirty clothes in the laundry bucket, get that cleaned and my room too, I will be back in the afternoon.”

“Okay Sir, I will.” She said as I walked out of the house, she was the house manager who had worked for me for over two years with the help of other nannies, my house was always clean and everything was in order.

“James, what time did the lady leave?” I asked, James was my all-around helper, with the gate with the compound and all that.

“What lady Sir?”

“You know what I am talking about, what time did she leave and why didn’t you come to tell me?”

“Sir you were asleep and I didn’t want to wake you up, you hate being woken up, she left at around 4.30.”

“Okay, do you have any idea where she might have gone to? I know you have a clue since there are no cabs around this place.” I asked hoping he knew where she had gone to.

“No I am sorry sir but I have no idea, she left saying her friend was picking her up.” He said and I cursed internally, “Okay open the gate then.” I commanded and slid into the passenger’s seat, I always loved driving my cars and that is why I had no driver or a chauffeur for that matter.

As I drove towards my father’s company premises or rather my family’s company, I couldn’t stop thinking about her, I mean her face was constantly running through my mind and I hated that I was becoming weak all of a sudden, I wasn’t used to thinking about the ladies I had slept with but she was an exception.

“Mr Walker, I will take you right to his office.” Laura, my father’s PA said to me and I just wasn’t in the mood for formalities.

“Oh, cut the crap, Laura, I know my way to my father’s office, I don’t need you to give me directions, I will walk to his office myself,” I said dismissing her and she shrugged.

“I am sorry I was just being nice, or rather just being professional.” She said and for a second I felt sorry for her but brushed it off.

“I know, my bad though, I just don’t need you to act all professional here when you know you and me can be naughty under the sheets,” I said with a wink and she chuckled.

“You are funny but this is not the place to talk about that, your father is waiting for you in the office, Mr. Walker.” She said stressing the last part.

“You do know my name is Reece or you can call me Daddy if you wish, you don’t have to make me feel all old with that weird surname.”

“Yeah I know all that but I prefer Mr. Walker, I am being professional remember?”

“Oh yeah I forgot about that part, I will see you in a few minutes,” I said and then walked to my father’s office, I knocked twice and I heard him mumble come in.

“Finally you are here, what took you so long?”

“You should be glad that I even thought about coming, I didn’t want to, so why don’t we just go straight to the point, why did you call me here?”

“Oh, I love it when you act all professional, please have a seat because what I am about to tell you is something really important.” He said and I hoped it was not something about running his errands again.

“I hope this is not about running an errand for you Dad because I am not going to do that, you seem to forget that I also have a life aside from this family’s business and this company.”

“No it is not about that, I wanted you to go Seattle and strike a business deal for me, I know you are good at it.” He said and I chuckled.

“I knew it had something to do with me doing a favour for you, why don’t you send Mom or Natasha I am sure they are not too busy to strike this ‘business deal ’ for you.”

“I think it has been long since you have been home, maybe you forget that your mom is sick and your sister went back to school about a week ago, she is in England, you are the only person who can do this for me, so please don’t say no, just remember that you are doing this for the family and not for me, it is for our good, and for the company.”

“Okay, I just need you to tell me when that is and what is the deal all about?”

“Here is everything you needit to know about the deal.” He said and handed me the paper, I read through it and at least had one day to prepare, and I needed a break after all so the business trip would serve me well, “okay I will think about it and I will give you my response by tomorrow, is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“Nope, I hope you consider my plea and get back to me.”

“I sure will and consider this the last favour I am doing for you and the good of this company.”

“Oh yeah I know, thank you son.” He said and I chuckled.

“You are welcome and next time talk to Natasha, I haveown schedule and a life too, and I don’t just sit around waiting for you to boss me around.” I said and walked out of his office.
