Need A Minate:
Need A Minute
Isha
I took deep breaths in the bathroom. It’s okay, I can understand where they are coming from. They don’t know James. Seeing a man lift the woman you’re involved with off the ground and swinging her around can be off putting, especially with how possessive I am finding they are.
I’ll have to apologize to James, definitely offer him a drink or dinner or something as an apology. I really want him to build my publishing firm, so I hope this won’t upset him too much.
A knock on the bathroom door had me holding my breath.
“Isha? Isha, baby, please come out and talk to us,” Dawson said.
I closed my eyes. He sounded angry earlier, but now he sounds worried, and I didn’t want him to sound that way. I took another deep breath and splashed some water on my face. After patting myself dry, I turned and opened the door. Mic, Ford and Dawson were standing there, looking worried.
“Hey, um, are you okay?” Ford asked.
I nodded, “Yeah,” I said after clearing my throat.
I walked out of the bathroom and back down the hall. They all followed me. I could hear their feet shuffling. We stepped into the living room. Davis was standing there with his hands behind his back, his head down. James was wide–eyed, sitting on the couch looking around.
“This house has great molding. The open concept has a wonderful flow from the kitchen, to the living area and the dining area. You must have awesome parties here.”
“James,” I said.
He looked over at me, his eyes brightening along with a huge smile that made me smile. He jumped to his feet, but didn’t move. I heard one of the guys huff, and I saw Davis‘ jaw clench.
“Miss Isha. I am so glad to see you again.”
“I’m glad to see you too,” a low whine came out of someone’s throat. Let me introduce you to my guys.”
Davis‘ head came up, and he looked at me with surprise on his face. I heard the other three inhale. I wanted to burst into tears
“The man next to you is my boyfriend, Davis. The three behind me are my boyfriends, Mic, Ford and Dawson.” “Oh! Well, that’s different. Lucky you. What I wouldn’t give for four strong, extremely protective men to fawn over me like these four,” he said with a beaming smile. My left eyebrow rose at that.
“You’re g*y?” Mic asked.
I turned and furrowed my brows at him. He shrugged and gave me a smirk.
“Yep,” James said, popping the P
Davis visibly relaxed.
“Guess you guys don’t trust me, huh?” I asked, sadly.
Need A Minute.
Sharp Inhales from all four had me shaking my head. I didn’t want to get into it right now
“So, James. What brings you here?”
“Oh, I wanted to say thank you for what you did. When I got your card, and then a receipt from the financial department, I couldn’t believe it. We just met. What made you do it?”
“Your enthusiasm for your passion. Plus, what you showed me. You are extremely talented and after seeing your designs I had a picture pop into my head of what I wanted my publishing firm to look like. I want to be your first client. I also didn’t want you to have to stress about your schooling and your financial situation. 1 want you to quit your jobs and concentrate on your studies. But that’s only if you want to. I think you would be more creative if you had no stress about the small stuff. Plus, wouldn’t you want to hang out with friends or go on dates, instead of working? I know I probably overstepped, but I felt a kinship with you, and I can afford to be someone’s benefactor.”
“You’re an angel. Like my own fairy Godmother,” he said, laughing. “You guys are so lucky to have someone)
like her.”
I just gave him a small smile. The guys mumbled under their breaths, but I wasn’t paying much attention to
them at the moment.
“Even though I’m not the one that owes you an apology, I want to apologize for the way you were treated.”
He waved me off, “Oh, no sweat. I get it. When I’m in a relationship with someone I like, I can get pretty jealous myself.”
“Still, being tackled to the ground and flipped over, isn’t something that should have happened just because you gave me a hug.”
I saw Davis close his eyes and nod.
“Seriously, Isha, it’s okay. And don’t take it as they don’t trust you, take it as you are theirs, and I shouldn’t
have touched you.”
I smiled bigger at him. He was an awesome guy,
“I’m very sssorry,” Davis said, holding out his hand.
“It’s okay, man. I get it. She’s a special girl,” he said, winking at me.
“She is, but we are sorry for our reaction. Would you like a drink? We can talk more about your future,” Dawson said, putting his hand on the small of my back
“Sure, I could use a beer,” James said.
We all went out on the deck outside, we sat around. I didn’t want to sit on anyone’s lap, so I took a seat on a chaise, while all the guys sat around the deck table.
James talked about becoming a famous architect, about wanting to start his own business. He was interning at an architectural firm now, and he was excited to be able to spend more hours with the firm now that he didn’t have to rush off to his jobs. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He explained everything I did for him and how surprised he was and how jealous some of his friends were, but they still on finding a sugar mama. We all laughed at that.
I told him I was looking for land for my firm. He asked what I wanted my firm to look like.

Need A Minute.
“I want it to be three to five stories or at least two with many areas. I want the floors to be for my employees
to work once I grow big, with at least six office areas. A floor to be an excellent eating area, with a full kitchen or cafeteria that will have a kitchen for cooking staff to make meals that we can order. And a rest area where my employees can take naps, or meditate. I also want three apartments with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and one bathroom for authors or if one of my workers needs to bring their kids to work or if someone stays late and doesn’t want to drive home.”
“You’re so awesome,” James said, admiringly. I blushed.
“Thank you.”
“I have to do a project and design a building for a business for one of my classes. I was going to do my own architectural firm, but if you are okay with it, I’d like to use your publishing firm. It’s literally half my grade,” he said, chuckling.
“Yes, you can so do my business as your project. I’d like three concepts if you can do that.”
“Yes, I can do that. That’s actually a requirement for the class, to do at least two concepts, but I can definitely do three. I already have ideas swirling in my head.”
“That’s fantastic. I look forward to seeing what you come up with”
“Well, I have to get going. It’s my cousin Starla’s birthday. I’m the poor relation, so I’m required to be there so she can make herself look good by being “generous” to her poor cousin,” he said using air quotes.
I saw all my guys stiffen.
“Is your cousin Starla friends with a woman named Madilyn Montogmery?” Dawson asked.
It was my
my turn to stiffen.
“Ugh, yes, another one of her sycophants. Madilyn is the daughter of Paul Montgomery. He’s a very billionaire, But Starla’s father is John Graves.”
“As in Graves Finance?” Mic asked.
rich
“Yep, the one and only. We’re talking multi billions, like tens of billions. My mother is her mother’s sister, They are not generous. They’ve never helped my family and even if they offered, we’d decline because they are all a’sholes. Anyway, yes, Madilyn is one of her friends.”
“We know them. Here, this card has two hundred thousand dollars on it. Use it tonight to show off.”
I smiled as James gasped.
“Holy f*ck, you are all the most generous people I have ever met.”
“I see you being part of our friendship circle, James. Now have fun, and rub that money in her face. You can tell her you found yourself a sugar mama,” Dawson winked, and looked at me. I gave him a grateful smile.
I got off of the chaise and hugged James, telling him to have fun.
When he left, I turned to my guys, I just needed a little time to myself. My feelings were still a little hurt, but I’d get over it.
“I’m going to take a bath,” I said.
“Want some company?” Ford asked.
Need A Minute
“No, I need a minute.” I turned and walked up the stairs to my room. I just needed an hour to myself, then i could go apologize to them for not communicating better, not that I’ve had time to, but still. This shouldn’t have happened. I needed them to trust me and I needed to have more patience and not react when they reacted the way they did.
