Daddy's Little Obsession (Daddy 6)

During the dinner, Travis had to pound on her back when she choked because of something Larkin said. It got even funnier when Larkin’s daddy tried to make the woman sit still and eat.

There were other littles that Aleena wanted her to meet, but there hadn’t been time yet. Travis promised they’d get together soon.

She stood outside of Travis’s building on the business side and looked up and then up some more, fingering the heart necklace he’d given her a few days before. He made her promise she would never take it off. That she was carrying his heart with her everywhere she went.

Sometimes it shocked her to hear the sweet things that came from him. She didn’t expect it with such a manly guy. She’d only been in the city for a few days, but she still couldn’t seem to fathom that Travis and his partners owned the whole thing. It had to be twenty stories high.

&

nbsp; The place was humongous. It was the first time she ever visited him on this side before. When he’d asked her that morning if she could come for lunch, she’d been thrilled.

“Miss, Mr. Forrester asked that I make sure you’re in the building before I drive off.”

“I’m sorry, Stan. I’ll go right in.”

“Have a good day.”

Nia walked up to a tall counter in the lobby. It was a beautiful area, a more contemporary style than the apartment. It had beautiful artwork and huge plants and benches placed around.

“Hello. My name is Nia Langley, and I’m here to see Mr. Forrester.”

“I see. Do you have an appointment?”

“Oh, I assume I do. He knows I was coming today.”

The receptionist looked down at her laptop. “I don’t have anything here. I’m sorry, you’re going to have to get an appointment and come back.”

Nia started to get anxious. “Call up to him. He’ll tell you.”

“I’m sorry I can’t do that. If I called up every time a woman came in to meet Mr. Forrester, I’d be calling a few times a day.”

Her heart sank. “Really?”

“Yeah. You’re not the first one and certainly won’t be the last to try to get to him. Heck, his own secretary is completely in love with him and warns every woman away if she gets too close.”

“All right. Thank you.”

Nia’s heart sank as she turned, walked to the large windows in front, and pulled out her phone. She texted Travis and waited for ten minutes. She tried calling him, but it went to voicemail. She decided he must have changed his mind and couldn’t get ahold of her.

She was hurting so much she was trying to console herself with any excuse at that point.

Nia looked outside and decided just to go back to the apartment. She had nowhere else to go besides Aleena’s, and she had just come from there.

God, she was pathetic. Instead of keeping some control over her life, she’d handed it all over to Travis, and she was starting to regret it.

She walked out onto the sidewalk when her phone dinged.

Where are you? she read and relaxed a bit.

I’m just outside your building. They wouldn’t let me in, she typed into the phone.

Get back in the lobby. I’m coming down.

Okay, she typed and waited.

Within two minutes, Travis rushed out of the elevator and then gripped her shoulders before pulling her into his arms.

“I’m so sorry. My secretary was supposed to call it down but must have got busy.”
