A/N: Just something fun I thought of while watching Waiting to Exhale and I thought why not EJAMI it. Hope you like it!
Let It Go and Let it Happen!
Sami POV
Life kind of sucks right now. I am here in Arizona on business and it did not turn out as well as I envisioned. I am the youngest junior executive at my marketing firm in Salem and they sent me here by myself which is fine, but my boyfriend and I had a horrible fight about it. He just doesn't seem to understand that he may be the man in our relationship but I am a grown woman who makes FIVE times as much as he does but yet he still feels that he has to exert his super male ego into our relationship. The meeting started out fine and then the power went out and the company pitching to me, equipment crashed and they couldn't continue and then I called Rafe to tell him that I would be back in the morning because it has to be rescheduled and he blew up at me because he thinks it was a wasted journey and even had the nerve to suggest I quit and find another job! Can you believe that shit?! I am a 26 year old woman with a masters in marketing and business. I got this job before I even graduated with my masters and have been working there to get to this position. This trip has given me a much needed reality check about him and what he thinks of me. Because Sami Gene Brady don't cow tow to nobody!
I decided I needed a drink so I went down to the bar in the hotel the presentation was supposed to go on at. Now I'm here at the bar and I know it is going to be a long night, good thing I made reservations here so when I get nice and plastered I can just go up the elevator and go to my suite and sleep for two days because there is no way in hell I'm going back to Salem tomorrow to deal with Rafe. It will also give me time to strategize the breakup, tee-hee!
I'm almost done with my first drink when I feel a tingle in the back of my neck so I turn and as I do I see the most gorgeous dark and handsome man I have ever seen and he must me at least 6'4- 5" tall. He is wearing a beautiful charcoal grey suit tailored to death and looks ultra-expensive along with a black and silver silk tie. I know I must be staring at him like a loon, but he's just so pretty and with that beard he looks like all my dreams come true! Oh my God I think I just sighed out loud! Way out of my league! He looks like one of those billionaire players who probably only date Russian and Brazilian super models who weigh 8 ounces and not petite blonds with curves and a brain, ugh will life ever be fair for us curvy sista's!? Yeah I said it! At the bar they just turned on Special Delivery by Bridget Kelly.
I decide to turn back around and stop dreaming and finish my drink and just sway to the music, when tall dark and handsome comes to sit down right by me. OMG I am going to die!
EJ POV
Today went rather well here in Arizona. I closed a deal with owner of the hotel franchise my company has been courted by for the past six months. We will help them grow bigger by bringing them to Europe and thereby making them an international name instead of one just based here in the states. The power outage didn't deter me in wanting in because there are millions to be made off of this, I just know IT! This trip also gave me the chance to get away from my stalker Nicole. I mean I fuck her once and she's talking marriage and kids! She knew what it was when it happened and now she won't leave me alone. I think my sword has dealt another blow; when will I learn that if this happened before it will happen again. Hey, it's not my fault God made me this way and I happened to learn a couple of things along the way that made it even 'harder' shall we say, to get over me. I mean what are you going to do right? Really I think it has more to do with my last name and bank account to be honest. I have never known a woman to really care about me and would if I were dead broke tomorrow would still want me. So I treat them all the same; expendable and replaceable at the drop of a hat. Because I know if I wasn't EJ Dimera they wouldn't give a damn about me or my heart and that is why I never let them see it.
I start my journey to the bar after shaking the hands of my new business associates and as I turn I see a woman turning around in her seat swaying to the music at the bar. She seems to be pulling me to her beauty. As I get closer I see that she is petite and blonde with curves wearing a white business suit or is it a white blazer and whit above the knee dress? I have no clue but all I know is that her legs are calling to me.
I have to meet this woman and see if this trip can be even more lucrative than it already been to day. Umm she smells like the sweetest peaches and grapes! I hope I get to eat her up tonight!
I sit at the bar and give my order.
"Scotch neat, please." I say and glance in her direction. She really is stunning with her fair skin and cute upturned nose and looks to have light blues eyes that shine like sapphires. I want this one more than I have wanted a woman in a long time. I wonder why? Damn I can't get her scent out of my head. Well let's get started!
"How are you this evening?" I ask her but she hasn't looked my way or answered my question so I ask again, but still nothing.
"Miss are you alright?" this gets her attention.
"Yes I am fine and I heard you the first time. I was just thinking up a lie so I won't seem as pissed off as I actually am." She tells me in the sweetest voice, I could listen to her all day!
"Why may I ask is a beautiful woman such as yourself as you said 'pissed off'?" I ask really wanting to know so I can know how I can make it all better. Whoa did I just think that? Wow!
She laughs and her laugh is the best sound I have heard all day.
"My boyfriend and I had a huge fight. He thinks I should be some Betty Crocker clone who sits home cooking and cleaning with no career of my own." Damn a boyfriend let me see if we can work around that little detail. She continues, "The trouble with his logic is that I was on this path before we even got together, but I guess he's used to women cow towing to him, but that is just not how I'm built which I guess all the men I have been with couldn't handle. Can you handle it, a strong woman with her own mind and aspirations?" she asks me and I just want to go and beat up all those men who have made her feel like this just because she wants her own. It makes no sense.
"I think a woman no matter her choice in life should be respected in her wishes and the fact that you have your own path I would definitely respect that and hope that you would allow me to support you in your choices and you in mine." I say surprising myself again. I mean I believe a woman should be able to have her own career and be independent financially but not separate from me but be my equal and I guess that is what I have been missing.
"You must be a different bread and taken because I have never heard a man say that to me. Maybe it's the town I live in? I don't know! I just want to put my masters in marketing to good use and move up the ranks at the firm I work at so I can make a good life for myself and not have to depend on anyone. You know?" Oh I know and wow she's a smart one and seems to have a good head on her shoulders and honest in how she feels. I haven't encountered many of her.
"I may be a different bread form the men you have met before but no I am not taken." I say and she smiles at me and I smile back. I ask, "May I ask what position in the firm you are now and the firm you work at?" I must know where she is form.
"I am the youngest junior executive at Black & Brady located in Salem, Illinois. I love my job and that's why I'm here, but the presentation was a bust and has to be rescheduled. The lights went out earlier and their equipment went out so I wasted this weekend but at least I didn't have to pay for it. May I ask what you do?" She finishes with a laugh and a question.
"Well you're quite successful! I wouldn't give up that career either and yes you may ask what I do. I work for the family business Dimera Enterprises and own my own company outside of it called Dimera International. I also have my law degree and specialize in corporate, tax, and divorce law." I tell her and I see I caught her off guard with the last part.
"You specialize in divorce law? Wow, I do not envy the lady who you will be divorcing! Oh I am so sorry I didn't mean that in that way it's just... I mean how do you divorce a man who specializes in divorce law?" she asks me and I have to laugh at her little rambling and yes how do you? Ha-ha!
"I thought since I am a wealthy man with a successful career I should make sure I prepare myself, but if I ever get married it will have to be to a woman who I wouldn't mind giving everything to let alone half." Is this scotch stronger than usual because I am really letting go of some personal thoughts here!
"I concur. I believe before I get back home I will definitely be single again. No! I am single especially after the bastard told me to quit my job because it was a waste of time! Can you believe that? I mean what if I told him to quit being a cop because he can't solve a case to save his life? I do not think he would like that!" she says and then we both laugh.
"I see you're out…would you like another drink…on me?" I ask in a low husky voice and also because I have to get to know this woman more and spend as much time with her as possible.
"Yes, I would love that." She tells me in a low sexy voice and I see we are progressing quit swimmingly!
Sami POV
Did he just sit down next to me!? I side glance him and yes that he has! Ok what do I do? Just play it cool and be nonchalant. Before I can do anything he talks to me with a smooth deep British accent oh my, I am about swoon right here and now! But I can't believe it so I just sit there. Then after trying to think of something cool to say I just decide on the truth and he seems to like that. We talk about me and then him and then he tells me something that if I was all about the money would have made me get up and flee from him as fast as lightening! He specializes in a couple areas of law but he also specializes in divorce law! Whoa I wouldn't want to be on the other side of the courtroom against him! I like that he seems very cautious though about who he would marry and I can't help but think if he could ever consider me giving everything to? Well that is seriously premature I should think, but then why am I already thinking about china patterns for our wedding reception, ugh! He wants to buy me another drink and I need one and I think it's time to get this shoe on the road!
"And I would love that as well… may I ask what your name is? I am EJ Dimera by the way." He tells me and I think I have heard that name before but I can't place his face to his name.
"My name is Samantha Gene Brady, but you can call me Sami if you like," I try to say in a sexy way hoping I don't fail miserably!
"Samantha," OMG he says my name like it's an action of love! "That is such a beautiful name. I really like how it rolls off my tongue…Samantha." He tells me and I just want to spread my legs right here and tell him to hurry up, but I am not that uncouth!
"EJ," I say and try what he did, "I like that too, and I especially like how my mouth moves when I say it…. EJ, hmm, yes I like that." I say and I think the gin and tonic is really getting to me because I am about to ask him to go to my room with me.
"Well Samantha since we both like how our names feel inside our mouths how about we take this somewhere more private?" he asks me and I am on fire and out of patience and will probably never see this guy again so I try something and hope he doesn't think of me as a slut, or maybe I hope he does, tee-hee!
"Look I think its sweet how polite and gentlemanly you are or are trying to be," he raises an eyebrow to my statement, "but I am going to just be honest with you about what I want and that is you naked in my or your suite in the next 5 minutes. I have had a hell of a day and I just want to fuck you into week and have you fuck me into next year, if you can handle me. So what do you say? Can you handle it, baby?" I ask and raise an eyebrow and push out my upper lip suggestively.
He is just staring at me like he can't believe I just said what I did, and all I can do is think, "You ain't seen nothin' yet sweetie!" I was just about to ask if he heard me when he answers me.
"Darling I'll fuck into the next millennia if you want me to and we can go to my suite on the top floor, if you like? Just let me pay for our drinks, ok?" he asks me. But I surprise him again.
"Don't worry I got the drinks you just worry about me under you and me on top of you sweaty and yielding pleasure to one another, ok EJ" I say throwing caution to the wind and going after what I want for once.
"Yes, definitely Samantha." He says looking me in the eye and causing a tingle to go down my spine.
I pay and he takes me by the hand half dragging me to the elevator but I do not mind I am just as eager to see how Mr. Dimera will fuck me into the next millennia.
