Read Online Waiting for Him (Waiting Series Book 3) by Dawn Stanton - Free Book Online Page A

tonight. I’ve been so busy with work this week and I’ve had meetings after school almost every day. I haven’t checked in with her at all and that makes me feel like I’m neglecting my duties as her baby’s father. I can’t do anything for our little guy at this point, except make sure that his mother takes care of herself. After the doctor told her she needed to gain weight, I’d planned on taking her out to dinner earlier in the week, but I couldn’t seem to fit anything more in my already overly packed schedule.
          I shoot her a quick email asking her to see me before she leaves. I glance at my watch and notice that it’s already one forty-five and realize that she may not check her email again since it’s so close to the time school lets out. Oh well, I can call her if I have to or maybe I’ll just stop by.
          I’m taking care of some unanswered correspondence when there’s a knock on my door. I’m assuming it’s Shelby, and I can’t keep the smile from appearing at the thought.
          “Come in,” I call as I log out of my email account. My smile dims when I see who’s standing there.
          “Melina, what can I do for you?” I ask, disappointed that it’s her and not Shelby.
          She closes the door behind her and slinks over to my desk. Her hips sway from side to side and she has her back arched so her breasts are leading the way. She looks slightly ridiculous and not the least bit attractive to me. Unfortunately, I made a bad judgment call one night, due to some whiskey and now she thinks she has some claim on me. I never should have touched her, especially where she’s an employee of mine. She’s also delusional and I know that this isn’t going to end well.
          “I was thinking that I could do something for you.” She leans forward, resting her palms on my desk so I have an unobstructed view of her breasts. I feel nothing when I look at her except regret. The sex was mediocre and definitely not worth dealing with her clinginess.
          “I thought we settled all this Melina. We already had this discussion, and I told you that I made a bad decision by sleeping with you. You’re my employee and as such there can never be anything more between us.” She scrunches her nose up before answering.
          “Garrett, what’re you worried about? I can keep a secret. No one has to know what’s going on behind closed doors, but us.” She licks her lips and pouts them, trying to look seductive I’m sure, but I’m not a fan of collagen injected lips. I’m a fan of natural bee stung lips and the way I remember them looking wrapped around my cock.
          “Melina, I can’t be any clearer than I already have been. This is the last time I want to have this discussion with you. What happened between us was a one-time thing. It was just two friends hooking up and nothing more. It will never be anything more. I don’t want to have this conversation again. If you need to speak to me about a professional matter, then please feel free to do so. Other than that, I think you and I should avoid contact from this point on.” She looks like she wants to murder me and chop me into tiny little pieces. Or maybe she wants to chop me up while I’m still alive? Either way, she’s not happy with what I’ve said and I know that this isn’t the last I’ll hear from her.
          “This is not over.” She huffs before spinning around and walking to the door. As she takes hold of the handle, she looks back at me for one final hate filled stare, before ripping the door open. Shelby is standing on the other side of it with her fist raised to knock.
          “Oh,” she exclaims and jumps back to avoid being knocked over. She watches Melina walk away for a moment before she makes her way inside my office.
          “You wanted to see me?”
          “Yeah, I was wondering if you had plans tonight? I’d like to take you out for dinner. I
