The Agreement by regina reyes (book series for 12 year olds TXT) 📕

The day Jessica walked out of my life I haven't been my self. I get up from bed and take a quick shower before getting dressed. As I head to work I always pass a small park where mothers and father take their children to play and eat ice cream. I always wondered what it felt like to be a father.

I remember talking to Jessica about forming a family, but she would always change the subject. Jessica was never a kids person or animal person or old people person. She had a tendency of changing the subject about kids or marriage. She knew I want to get married and have kids but she was always discusted with the idea. I thought that in time she would come to love the idea, but she didn't. 

I got to the office at the time that I always do and got into my private elevator to my office. When I finally got there the doors opened up to a red walled room with shelves of files and desk in front of massive glass windows. I took out my lap top and let myself be consumed by the work. It didn't take long before Tom came bouncing in and disturbed me from my work.

"Hey Adam you alive in there?" He said taking a seat in one of the panton chairs.

"Yes I am and if you don't have anything to give me get back to work?" I say with out looking up.

"Look I get that you still feel like shit, but you need to get over her. She wasn't the right one for you Adam. You need to understand that and that were here for you. Pushing us away isn't going to make you feel any better and it was two years ago," he said putting his hand on my shoulder. 

"Then what should I do?" I ask.

"Now were talking" he said taking a seat on my desk as I lean back in my chair, "ok this is what I've been thinking since you want to be a dad so much, although I don't know why?" he said saying the last part in a low mutter, "I was thinking that you could set up a fake assistant interview, but instead your looking for some one to have your child."

I sat there for a while taking it all in and it wasn't a bad idea I could interview women and the one that seem to fit the bill will have my child, but there was one problem with that idea. Who in the hell would do such a thing much more suggest it but the more I thought about it the more I warmed to the idea.

"What if I find the one but she doesn't want to?" I ask him taping my finger on the desk, thinking I'm insane for even considering it. 

"Then pay her to have your kid, it's not that complicated Adam. Although it would be better if you just got a dog" he says.

 "A dog would be nice but I want something that carries my blood Tom. So we'll go with your idea now go set up a place, time and date."

"Well we already have a place" he said moving his finger in a circular motion to the office, "all we need is a date and time"

I got into my red beetle and headed off to the interview. It had to be luck that I got to have the interview because I don't have a clue to what assistants do. All I know is that they take notes and answer phone call for the boss while wearing a cute pencil skirt which I have lots of. But here I was on my way to an interview who had accepted my application.

Two days ago I was cring and pleading for them not to take townhouse and everything I owned.  If they did I would have no where to go.  I didn't have many friend here in New York, but I still got by but working in restaurants making the least bit of money I could get to pay for the townhouse. I know that I should have started with a smaller place, but I couldn't bring myself to live in a shabby home anymore there was to many bad memories for me. 

I parked the car in the back and pushed my way through the glass doors. I stopped at the front desk where a young browned haired woman was typing away on her key board.

"Excuse me but could you tell me where the waiting room is for the interview ?" I ask.

She looks up and says, "It's on the sixth floor" 

I get on the elevator and a few people get on and off as I make my way up to the sixth floor. The doors open and I step out to see about hundred women siting in the waiting room waiting to be called up. I took a seat in the back next to a redheaded woman with cat eye glasses over her blue eyes and who was probably the same age as me.

I set my Burberry purse next to my feet and fix my black Chanel dress that had a white collar and a large ribbon bow in the the middle.  The room became empty over time leaving me, the redhead, and a beautiful dark colored woman who looked like she was in her early thirties while I was in my mid twenties. 

Soon it was just me in the waiting room.  Thirty minutes later the gorgeous dark colored woman walked out and a few minutes later a handsome dirty blond man walked out, "Miss. Kate you can come in now"  I got up and put my purse in the hook of my arm and walked into a red and grey office. 

"Mr. Sterling will attend you in just a momment he just went out for bit, but you can have seat" he said before taking his leave. 

While I waited a women came in asking for my size in clothing and shoes along with undergarments. I asked why this was neccessary but she just told me its part of the interview and told me to take a seat.

I took a seat  in one of the chairs and all I could think was, 'Please let me get this job'.

 "None of these women catch my interest and I don't feel a connection to them I mean they are beautiful but the spark just isn't there" I say to Tom in the conference room.

"Don't worry if you don't find the right one today then you'll find the right one the next day, but right now you still have one more to go so turn up the charm because she is sexy as hell if I weren't helping you get with her I would take her for myself" he said popping in some peanuts into his mouth.

I sigh, "fine"

I walk back to my office but stop infront of the door and take a deep breath before going in. I open the door to find a beautiful blond woman siting in one of the black couches. Her long hair was down and flowed down her back with soft curls at the tips she also had small front bangs that made her look young. She had ivory skin and beautiful emerald eyes to top it off, her lips were the perfect size to make a heart.

"You must be kate", I said extending my hand out and she up her soft feminine hand in mine and smiled which made my heart race a little but played it cool.

"And you must be Mr. Sterling" she said and all I could do was look into those emerald as she looked into my blue ones. I realized that she was average hieght reaching to my chest. 

"Well we should get this interview started, take a seat Kate and please call me Adam" I say taking a seat infront of her.

She had one leg over the over making her black stocking stretch. Her legs were wonderful and I really wanted to convince her to let me be in between those legs and plant my seed inside her.

"Kate I will ask you some personal questions if that is okay with you?" I say puting my iPad infront of me pretending to take note of what she was saying.

"Yes. It's fine" she simply said as if she didn't mind people knowing her personal business.

"Ok then, kate do you have any kids?" I ask

"No" response 

"Do you plan on having any?" Question#2

"Of course" response

"Would you rather have kids sooner or later?" Question#3

"Soon would be nice" response 

"Do you like kids?" Question#4

"Yes" response 

"How much?" Question#5

"A lot" response

"If someone payed you to have their child would you do it?" Question#6

"Maybe?" response

I look up almost snapping my neck, "What do you mean by maybe?"

"Well depending on the person. He has to be responsible and stable and be a good father" she said calmly and firmly.

I had found her. Kate Daniels you will have my child.

"Kate before we go any further into this interview there is something you must know" I take a deep breath then continue, "this isn't an interview for an assistant job."

I wait for her to reacted but she just sits there calmly and attentive to what I'm about to say.

"This is an interview for me to find a woman of my choice to have my child. And I would like it if that woman was you kate, would you have my child?" I said slowly to let it sink in and her eyes wided with surprise and terror. I was afraid that I may have scared her off.

But instead I got a simple answer, "Yes"
