Caught Between My Mate And A Demon

Nima’s call connected to Emily’s line, who looked annoyed before picking it up.

“Hello?” She inquired to Nima, who sighed into the phone.

“Emily, we need to talk. My brain feels like it’s going to explode.” Nima said.

“Nimalaya, I’m busy at the office. I will see if I can stop by tomorrow, as I plan to work through the night today.” Emily responded.

Nima was silent for a few seconds before asking her to sleep early and to take care of herself.

Nima dropped the call with a strange expression on her face.

She was used to Emily appearing like a phantom upon her calls that having been rejected a meeting on the day had rubbed her in a weird way.

She told herself it’s normal. Emily has her own life too and shouldn’t be available for her all the time.

She had those thoughts, yet it stung at her heart that she wasn’t a priority anymore.

The Emily she knew would drop everything at hand and rush to meet her, especially when they were meant to gist about how her date with Joel went.

……….

Upon dropping the call, Emily wore an irritated look. She had no idea why she had been doing so much for Nima.

“I’ve spoiled her with attention.” She muttered to herself as she drew her laptop closer to resume her work.

Her mind soon wandered to how she would recall doing things she wasn’t used to. Every day of her life, she felt like her body was switching between her consciousness and autopilot mode.

It was like doing and saying things under the influence of alcohol and then returned back to one’s senses over and over again.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The weirdest part was how she would boldly excuse herself from the office, and no one would care to ask her why, as if she owned the whole company.

All that started happening ever since she met Nimalaya.

Not wishing to dwell much on the topic, she pushed it to the back of her mind and focused on her work.

…….

At JOEL’S ELECTRONICS, PLUMBING AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE CORPORATION, inside Joel’s office.

Joel had spent a restless night after he left Nima’s place. He had experienced the most intense sex drive of his life, yet he couldn’t even bring his thought together to the point of not releasing himself and just dwelling on the situation.

He could feel that Nima was attracted to him. She had been genuinely happy and free with him. The sound of her laughter still echoed in his mind, while her blue eyes that easily expressed her thoughts resurfaced in his brain.

Joel was really captivated by the woman she was. She carried herself with so much grace that even though he doubted, she noticed that.

She could pass for a high class model at first glance, and he was sure many would fight to have her market their product.

Her exotic beauty would make everything around her shine, just like his heart had shone with delight throughout their moments together.

He recalled the feeling of hugging her soft body to his own, and a list of thoughts just went on.

Joel had decided to call her, but her phone had been switched off.

Still dealing with his own emotions and how to take the next step towards his goal to make her his woman, Joel decided to give her the space she craved.

Carey, who had noticed how odd Joel’s mood had been since he arrived at work, glanced towards him after receiving a call that needed to be passed to him, stood up from her seat and walked up to him.

“Sir?” She called and saw Joel looking a bit startled. His teeth had been gently nibbling at the side of the second finger of his right hand, a habit he often did when deeply in thought.

“What is it?” He asked, glancing up at Carey.

Carey hesitated for a bit before saying, “Miss Anna call is on. She wants to speak with you.”

Upon hearing the name, Joel looked taken aback for a few seconds before nodding at Carey, who returned to her seat, and Joel reached out to connect the call and placed the phone to his ear.

“Joel.” A soft longing voice was heard over the phone.

Anna had been Joel’s fake girlfriend for 5 years, dating back to the time they were still in their academic life.

The girl has been stressed from family’s expectations, while Joel had been a lost young man who had recently discovered his fascination with a woman’s body.

Back then, Anna was the current woman he was having a nice time with after their mutual attraction towards each other’s physical appearance.

Anna was a wild girl who would act meek at home but become something opposite on campus.

She dated and dumped men as she saw 6 Joel happened to be her toy then.

After Adam revealed Joel’s promiscuous behavior to his parents, his mother had talked some sense into him and warned him about the repercussions of breaking a lady’s heart and how easily one could fall apart in the line of his bad hobby.

She had advised him to stick to a single woman, but the problem had been the fact that Joel couldn’t fall in love. He doesn’t harbour any romantic feelings towards any woman.

But one thing about Joel was his love and respect for his family and friends. He had listened to his mother and reflected on his behaviour.

He decided to end his flings with Anna.

The young woman had laughed at his reasoning then and asked if he thought she had a heart that someone could break.

She had refused to put a stop to their actions and suggest that they put a tag to it.

To become a couple in everyone’s beliefs, but keep up with their mutually beneficial relationship.

Joel was at first against it, but the thought of staying away from sex would be a huge problem, as he wasn’t sure how his body would react to sudden abstinent.

Anna made it sound so casual and Joel decided to opt in the deal after Anna explained to him that perhaps she could use a break from breaking men’s heart and also stop letting random men have sex with her.
