The Billionaire's Desire novel Chapter 7

Work had been slowly getting busier as we were getting closer to the launch of our new collection. I've had to deal with many of Jacks mood swings because he is nervous. Although he won't admit it, he is very nervous.

I was working from home today since I was suffering from period pains last night. Some days jack will let me just stay home if I'm not needed at the office.

Ever since I was 16, I suffered from really bad period pains, I had got it from my mum but hers are far more sever due to her having cysts as well.

It was 5 o'clock when I received an Instagram message from James. I was drawing up my last design and opened it up. James had been sending me random messages all week and sending me memes which I can admit were very relatable.

Seleneeeeey it's my birthday

Oh shit, I completely forgot he told me it was his birthday. I instantly clicked on his profile and saw 3 new posts.

I commented on the latest one.

Happy Birthday James

with a bunch of emojis. Th comment instantly got a bunch of likes and comments.

James wasted no time in video calling me. I saw his handsome face cover my screen and answered it.

"I'm mad at you Selene. How could you forget about me don't you love me" he pretended to look annoyed, but I could see that he was dying to smirk or laugh at me.

Honestly, I don't understand why he's wasting his time on me.

"I've been busy James, I'm sorry I honestly did forget," I told him. I would feel guilty if I saw posts about his birthday on Instagram, I had already known it was his birthday. We may not be friends as such, but I have respect.

He suddenly smiles, lifting the corners of his lips and showing me that white toothy grin that the girls fall for. I would too if I didn't have a certain crush on his best friend.

Its literally just a crush I hope it fades very soon.

"well I know exactly how you can make it up to me," he said smirking. I knew that look too well.

I groaned "I'm not giving you a birthday lap dance James" his eyes widened obviously he forgot about the big list he sent me the other day on gifts I could give him.

"now your speaking my language angel," he said as he walked around his house, he looked like he was cleaning which was something I didn't expect to see from him.

"But if you can't do that, you can come to my birthday party at mine tonight," he said giddily as he jumped onto his bed laying down.

That's why he's cleaning then.

I caved in.

"wear something sexy and red," he said as my finger hovered over the red button. Throughout the day all I could hear was that laugh of his.

James didn't really give me a lot of time to get ready. I was running around trying to figure out what to get him and, in the end, I spoke to jack and decided to give him a product from our line.

He would be the first person to have this, so I guess that's a perfect gift for him as well as the bottle of jack Daniels I had lying around.

I was on facetime with Amelia as I was getting ready. Although I am a designer, I do appreciate a second opinion for the clothes I wear.

She's going as well, since James's sister models for her line.

I dressed in a beige bodycon dress that made my curves stand out. I think James would appreciate me dressing up for him. I know he said he wanted red, but I wear red way too much I got to spice it up.

I drove to the address he gave me. I wasn't surprised at the big house, with the countless number of sport cars and expensive SUV's surrounding his house.

Amelia found me. She was wearing a beautiful yellow dress and had a glass in her hand.

"this is crazy right," she says as we both look around the house full of people. There was food and drinks everywhere. He even had chocolate fountain working well with his love for anything chocolate.

"I don't think I expected anything less," I said walking with her into the main part of the house. he had a game area with guys and girls playing pool and sofas for people playing against each other on Xbox.

I fell like a lot of this party is sponsored.

I was speaking to Amelia when she suddenly widened her eyes. "holy fuck" she whispered turning me around to get a glimpse of what she was seeing.

When I realised what she was looking at even I licked my lips.

God damn.

James was outside standing on his basketball court which was lit up in bright white and blue lights since it was dark already.

He looked good, his muscular and model body was out for everyone to see.

He wore a sleek bomber jacket that only covered his shoulders and he had a pair of joggers resting low on his hips. We were a bit early so I'm guessing he was going to change after into something more fitting for the party.

It took me a while but, in the end, I walked outside to finally greet him.

I barely made it onto the court when he spotted me. He let the ball drop down, over his shoulder as he met me at the edge of the court.

With the bag I had in my hand I stepped forward. I placed my hand on his chest staring up at him with my eyes.

"Happy Birthday "I whispered. He looked at me with a smile that made me grin.

"I said red" he whispered grabbing my hand and taking the bag from my hands. He wasted no time in looking inside. He grabbed the bottle of jack first passing it to one of the girls who was walking around.

Next, he dug inside and pulled out the brand-new product from our line. From our exclusive range of hoodies were bringing out.

"oh fuck, I love it," he said as he shrugged off his jacket leaving me to stare at his toned body. He put on the hoodie checking himself out.

I laughed when he did these model poses that just didn't look right to be doing right now.

He pulled me in for a hug his hand sliding down my back. I was letting him have his fun, but a rather distracting voice interrupted us.
