The Perfect Fix (Perfect Kisses #5) - Miley Maine Page 0,1

I have never been short of admirers. But this one… Aisha doesn’t give me the time of day at all. She always actively pushes me away.

But that isn’t what makes me want her more. This isn’t me needing her because I can’t have her. I actually like Aisha because she’s beautiful, sweet, and mysterious too. There is something so intriguing about her that I can’t stop myself from wanting her, however little she gives back.

Again, I don’t think that she doesn’t want me either. I’m not sure if she’s rejecting me because she doesn’t like me. I can feel there is an intense and powerful chemistry between us, sizzling all the time. I’m sure that she wants me just as badly as I want her. There should be another reason why she’s pushing me away and I want to know what it is. I get the impression that she is afraid to let anyone in which is probably linked to her past. Maybe.

“Oh, well if you ever do have the time…” I offer, not that she will take it up.

“I don’t know about that. I have a lot going on. With my son and my work…”

She turns away from me and heads inside before I can ask her anything else. She doesn’t even say goodbye. But it isn’t Aisha being rude, this is her just being fearful of love.

I will show her that I am a good guy, I tell myself determinedly. I will let her see that I am worthwhile. Then she will let me in, I’m sure of it…

I suddenly jolt to attention, realizing that I have other things to do. I can’t just stand around outside of Aisha’s place like a freak, I need to get to work. I have a lot of people relying on me. I need to take my mail in my house and get in the God damn car already…

I snap in to action, doing everything that I need to do before I jump in to the car and speed off to my office. It is within walking distance, I probably could go on my feet given half the chance, but I might need to head off to a meeting at any given moment. I prefer to have my car for speed, so I’m never late.

Plus, I like the drive and the radio to sing along to. Especially today after seeing Aisha cause now I can have a little daydream about her as well. About the day when she finally decides to give me a chance. I mean, I’m not guaranteeing that things between us will work out. We might not be as perfect for one another than I think we are right now, but I would like us to give it a try. I think that it would be awesome.

Sometimes I wonder if she is scared to let me in her life because she has a son. It must be hard to date as a single mother, but I like kids. I like Travis. I think he is awesome. When he chats with me, we get along really well, and I’m sure he adores me too. Or he would do if we were allowed to talk to one another properly…

Anyway, I can’t think about her anymore. I can’t worry about the moment that Aisha will finally let me in because I am here at work and it’s time to get refocused.

“Hey, boss!” Hayley, my receptionist who has been with the company from the beginning calls out to me and grabs my attention. “Have you seen it? The business news?”

“No, why what is going on?” I walk over to her knowing that this is only going to be good news. Hayley is such a positive person. “Am I in trouble?”

“Nah, you are on the list here as the hottest self-made billionaire of the year.”

“Oh, for goodness sake.” I roll my eyes as I see the page. “I don’t need to know that.”

“You should be proud of yourself. You really are the hottest self-made man around here.”

I don’t know about that, I don’t know what to say, so I roll my eyes and walk off towards my office. Of course, I’m proud of myself, how could I not be? I have pretty much come from nothing, my father just had to keep us afloat since it was just me and him until he met my stepmom, but I was already an adult by that point. That’s why I don’t harbor any ill feelings for
