Fiona Garbera was forced to face a harsh false ideology that love was never enough at her early age. She grew up with the mindset that love only makes one weak, judging by her parents failed marriage. Watching her father age with a sadness that years couldn’t erase made her swore never to give love a chance until hell freezes over. But a drunk one night of sexual bliss with her new boss Colt Harper who fate made them meet again became a threat to all her years of discipline against love. Colt Harper wanted more than a night with her, he wanted her heart and was determined to change her misconception about love and this brought a crack to the walls she had built as a defense against love all her life. Fiona was caught in a dilemma of either holding on to her walls of insecurity to be at the safer side or give into the undeniable attraction between them and stand a chance to risk her heart being broken or mended forever. She had to make a life changing decision as she realized that she couldn’t stand the chance of missing out on sharing the rest of her life with the one man who had taught her that love was a beautiful emotion. Fiona was done with running away from her feelings and the uncertainty that she feels comes with love because of the trauma she had as a kid as a result of her parents failed marriage. She dared to believe that a night with her billionaire boss could lead to happily ever after as she found a partner to deal with whatever crests and troughs life threw at them and she lived happily ever after in love as she chose love over fear.
View MorePretend it was just one of your usual meeting. Just another wisdom show.
She tried very hard to do just that but the adrenalin skipping through her system called her a liar.
It wasn’t just a meeting, but her first meeting with her new boss who happened to be the man she had an affair with, on a drunk night. Her one night of reckless drinking and drunk affair was staring right at her face, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her but she knew hope was not a grain of sand. This is exactly what she gets from following Bella’s idea of loosing up.
Of course the first man she had a drunk night affair with had to be the new boss of her company. Fiona Garbera smiled with a confidence she was far from feeling and shook Colt Harper’s hand.
She took a deep breath:assured herself that he wouldn’t recognize her. Of course she recognized him from the morning before she ran out of the hotel. “Fiona Garbera”. She said, introducing herself. She could only hope that he wouldn’t recognize her.
She took a deep breath, switched into her professional mood and gave what she hoped was one of the best presentation of her life.
Her boss had just retired, handling his company over to his son who had been at Toronto for years and finally decided to return home. Billy Harper was a proud father, Fiona being one of his closest staffs knew a lot about Colt Harper, his achievements and the perfect son he was before this meeting. Of course Billy proudly announced that his son was returning home to run the company due to his retirement.
What Fiona hadn't known was that Billy’s son who was said to have returned to Portsmouth a week ago was the man she had a one night stand with as a result of her reckless drinking that night. She really hoped that her boss and colleagues didn't notice the tension in her voice during the presentation. She took a deep breath: reassuring herself that he wouldn't recognize her while trying to steady her tensed hand. It was a good thing the presentation was over, she hastily greeted everyone and made her hurried exit.
She took a deep breath of relief as she got to her office, she tensed as the harsh reality dawned on her: she would be sharing this office with Colts same way she shared it with her ex boss. Well, this is exactly what she got from listening to her sister’s advice. She was sure going to strangle her when she gets home, but for now, she had to deal with her problem, endless thoughts flooded through her brain, she was definitely on a hot sit. She could hear fate laughing at her as hear crawled up her neck, her fervent prayer was for her new boss not to recognize her from that night. Who would want a woman who do a one night stand as one of there senior staffs to a prestigious company like this one. Well, it seems her hard work over the years was going to be wasted because of her one night of reckless act, she loved her job, loosing it over this was going to be one crazy experience for her, she wasn't sure she could forgive herself if that happened and she was definitely not going to forgive her sister too for dragging her out that night and giving her drinks that was past her limit. She took a stroll down the memory lane back to that night.
It was one of those cozy Saturday evening and Bella had just returned home as her normal energetic self.
“ Fiona!!!” She had screamed to announce her arrival. Fiona had tucked herself into bed, pretending she was fast asleep, knowing it was another Saturday for Bella to nag about her antisocial lifestyle. Fiona didn't care about stuffs like that, all she cared about was a warm night in bed with chocolates to celebrate her success in the completion of a big project which literally took forever. But Bella had another idea for celebrations, to Bella a night out to have tequila shots was the best way to celebrate, bit Fiona knew she was light headed and wasn’t a life of the party like her sister. She knew a drink wouldn't amount to anything positive but rather a gloomy Sunday with hangovers from the previous night. But this night, Bella wasn't taking no for an answer, she was determined to make Fiona go out with her tonight.
“ I am not interested Bella, i just want to sleep, i had a really stressful week, or should i rather say a stressful month just to get this project done”.
Bella wasn’t taking no for an excuse this time, she felt Fiona was too reserved. “ And that is why i have the perfect plan to ease you of your stress, i can’t watch you turn into a workaholic old hag with no fun filled memories of your youthful age”. She responded.
“ Well, we both have different ideas of fun and this is mine, when it gets to your turn of celebration, you can explore your youthful age”, she mimicked Bella, snuggling into bed cozily.
Bella tossed her until her head was spilling, acting like a spoilt kid, “ I can’t go alone Fiona please, i want to go out tonight” she pouted.
“You have being going alone all this while Bella, leave me alone”, she retorted.
“Please sister, please” Bella tossed her more.
Fiona knew this wasn't her night, Bella can be a strong headed pest when she wants to and she knew this was one of those times, but then she still tried her last escape. “I don’t even have what to wear, lets just forget about it” she smiled victoriously.
Bella smirked “ Now this is where i come in as a big sister, i have this fun filled night all planned out, i have the perfect dress for you”.
Fiona sulked “ I hate you”.
Bella laughed at her childish outburst. “ Quit being a big baby and get dressed”, she threw a sea blue dress at her, “ this would be perfect for you, it’s same color with your eyes”.
Fiona had no other choice than to get ready, it was obvious she lost this night to her reckless sister.
“ Drink up Fiona, you aren’t going to die” Bella said as she poured more drink for tequila shots. Fiona couldn't keep counts of how many shots she had, well, she was out and she should loosen up a little. She never really allowed herself to live life, she had always been this reserved kind of woman. To her defense, she had work to do and having drink nights which would result to hangovers wasn’t her priority. She could feel her head spilling, she knew she had taken more shots than her head could carry.
Bella dragged her to the dance floor, “ now its time for fun” she screamed loudly amidst the loud music which made it nearly impossible for Fiona to hear. All it took was a minute and Bella was in a man’s arm leaving Fiona all by herself at the dance floor to flow to the music, typical Bella attitude, she had always been the life of the party, Fiona smiled. Maybe she should make an escape out of the crowd into a place of solitude, she was sure Bella wouldn’t notice. Just as she was about to act according to her plan, a muscular hand snaked his hands around her waist and she heard a whisper that sent a sweet sensation down her body, maybe it was the drink, not maybe, it had to be the drink. It was obvious her escape plan was futile now so she had to go with the flow. She stared ahead and Bella winked at her in approval, giving her a smirk of victory as she finally disappeared into the crowd knowing Fiona had a partner now.
“ do you care for a drink?”, he asked her sweetly, well, since she was out for fun, she needs to have mad fun too, this was a once in a lifetime kind of experience for her.
“ I do”, she responded and they moved over to an empty sit while he ordered for drinks.
Fiona didn’t know what happened next, all she remembered was waking up in the arms of a handsome stranger the next morning, with her cloth on the floor and her underwear on his face, filled with embarrassment, she quietly took her stuffs, dressed up, and sneaked out of the hotel room. She had lost her virginity to a stranger!!!, it was one hell of a night. She was super grateful he was fast asleep, because if he wasn't, she wouldn’t even know how to face him. She had her first sex as a one night stand, all thanks to Bella, she thought ironically as she made a promise to herself never to let this happen again.
She took a cab home and met Bella at the door looking worried. “ well, look who is back home after having mad fun all night” Bella teased.
“ It’s not funny Bella, i had my first sex with a stranger and no memory to cherish, all thanks to you for giving me more drinks than my head was capable of carrying”, she threw at her.
Bella laughed “ Wow, so someone finally had her hymen broken, its long overdue sis, you are twenty five for crying out loud, i won’t say i am sorry though, i was beginning to fear you would die as an old hag with a rusted private part because of no sexual activity” she laughed
“ you are unbelievable Bella”, Fiona stormed into her room.
Bella tagged along, bugging her for juicy details, “ so tell me, how was it?, did you both have a replay this morning?, hope you both exchanged contacts?, spill the juicy details Fiona “, Bella pouted.
Fiona sneered at her “ get out of my room”.
“ spill please ” Bella pouted.
“ we didn't have a replay of nothing, we didn't exchange contacts, i sneaked out of the room immediately i realized the terrible mistake i made, end of discussion Bella “.
Bella left in mock defeat, “ you are boring Fiona, sometimes i wonder who is older between us “.
“ get out of my room “, Fiona screamed in frustration.
She had really thought it was the end of discussion, her hymen was broken by a stranger, she sneaked out and he would never find her.
“ i am sorry Fiona, but i believe it was all for the best, you know fate could be plotting something, i am really sorry for making you go through all this” Bella apologized.
“ best my foot, you are unbelievable Bella, you made me loose my virginity to a stranger and you are here spilling trash of it being for the best” she hissed.
“ what can i do to make you forgive me” Bella asked guiltily.
Fiona realized Bella was beginning to feel bad about everything, she was mad herself but it had already happened and she was sure that wasn’t really Bella’s intention.
“ Its fine sis, its bygone already, i forgive you”, she said, giving Bella a bear hug.
Fate was just sitting hand akimbo waiting to sure its own plan.
Fiona was awakened by the determined ringing on her phone by only God knows who. She ended the call without looking at the caller Id. Who on earth called someone by the virgin hour of the morning, it was a good thing she didn’t have to report to work today until 12noon. This was one of those weeks she looked up to. Luckily for her, she had succeeded in clearing up her works with tight deadlines. The one with the Landmark company had been a herculean task but good griefs, she was done with that too, she had finally finished it up over the weekend. At least, she could finally breath properly this week with no deadlines hanging on her neck. It wasn’t like her freedom was going to last anyways, but for now, she just had to enjoy her victory without thinking about the stress of the future.It was a good thing it was just 6am, she could get to rest a little bit more, maybe two more hours before she would have to get ready for work. She sighed and was about drifting back into sleep when the
Colt drove Fiona back home that evening after their insatiable orgasms. He could tell Fiona was finally opening up to him. His plan was working.“ Here comes the prodigal sister, look who is back home!!!”, Bella said jokingly.Fiona laughed at Bella’s teasing outburst. “ Whatever”, she said to Bella.Turning over to Colt, “ Hey, take care of you”, she said to him.Colt smiled. “ Just like that?”, he asked teasingly.Fiona laughed and moved into his arms, giving him sweet little kisses. “ Are you okay now?”, she asked teasingly.Colt laughed. “ Not yet”, he said as he encircled his hands around her waist.“ Oh wow”, Bella said amusingly.“ Oh wow to you too”, Fiona said, she laughed at Bella’s reaction, Bella can be overly dramatic sometimes.Bella laughed. “ I would have picked an offense for you taking my sister all night without asking for my permission first, but with what I am seeing right now, I forgive you Colt”, she said jokingly.Colt laughed. “ Alright ladies, take care of y
Fiona woke up with the feeling of a muscular hands roaming round her body. She tensed. Where was she?, memories of last night flooded her. She sighed in contentment and snuggled into Colt. He groaned when her buttocks rubbed against his penis. “ You are big trouble Fiona”, he groaned.Fiona giggled. “ Good morning to you too”, she said with a smirk on her face. Knowing she had a strong effect on him made her feel good. She could feel his penis harden at her buttocks and she wiggled her buttocks feigning innocence. Colt groaned and grabbed her buttocks. “ You are messing with me and you know it too”, he said, feigning annoyance.“ Sorry boss”, she said teasingly.He grabbed her breasts and she moaned. “ Now that’s a better apology”, he said.In no time, they were in each others arms, kissing with intense hunger. He rolled her over to her back, as his thumbs grazed over the tip of her breast. She moaned with intense pleasure. He suckled her nipples. She tangled her hands in his hair,
“ Do your offer still stand?”, Colt asked. He was tingling from head to toe. His arousal pressed against the zipper of his trousers.“ What offer?”, Fiona asked breathlessly. She knew what he was implying but she just had to confirm.“ I want you now”, Colt said breathlessly. He was becoming painfully hard and he had to take her home and make love to her before he would completely loose it.“Yes it still stands. I want you too”, Fiona said. She was wet in her pant. Only Colt had such effect on her.Their drive home was one of intense kisses and feverish touches. Colt unlocked the door to his apartment, he had never been this turned on by a woman all his life. No woman had ever had this strong effect on him before now.Fiona didn’t know if she was making the right decision. Her body wanted Colt desperately, but her head told her having sex with Colt was going to change everything, but right now she didn’t care, she wanted him badly. She was aroused and she couldn’t think right now. Wha
The restaurant Colt had selected for their dinner date was one of the top restaurants in Portsmouth. Colt had learnt of the restaurant but have never eaten there since his return to Portsmouth. But tonight, the restaurant seemed like a perfect place to take Fiona out for dinner. He made sure they reserved a table that was secluded. That was what money could do anyways. He knew Fiona was ready for a relationship right now and honestly, he couldn’t tell when she would be, but he was willing to wait, the next time he was going to ask her for a relationship, he was hoping she was going to say yes, so he wasn’t taking chances. He had to win her heart one way or the other. He purchased a gold necklace with a blue pedant that reminded him or her eyes.“Stop being a big baby Bella”, Fiona said to her sister who has been hyper active all evening, preparing her for her date, like it was one big event.Bella laughed. “ I am sorry but I can’t help it”, Bella said. “Girl, this is the first time i
“ And who were you talking to, blushing like a virgin bride in love”, Bella asked.Fiona laughed. “ You are delusional”, she said.“ Spill sis, I can see the glow in your eyes”, she said.Fiona laughed. “ You wish. It was Colt and I ain’t no virgin bride in love”, Fiona said giggling.Bella laughed. “ So why are you giggling?”, she asked. Laughing at the all blushed up Fiona.“ Fiona laughed. “ Jeez, Bella, I am not giggling. Just give up already!!!”, she exclaimed. Blushing harder.“ You see?”, Bella laughed. “ Just look at your face, you do look like a tomato for real”, she said.“ Get out”, Fiona said.Bella laughed. “ You are blushing sis, I can feel the love radiating all over you”, Bella said amusingly.“ And you my darling sister, you are unbelievable and absolutely delusional. There is no love here”, Fiona said. Rolling her eyes.“ Whatever”, Bella said. “ So what’s up?, I overheard you both conversing about a date”, Bella pouted.“ You are such a shameless gossiper”, Fiona la
