HIS LIPS
I closed my eyes hoping that when I opened them he wouldn't be in front of me. Maybe I had been thinking of him so much that I was beginning to see him everywhere. But when I opened my eyes he was still standing there looking at me, that was when I remembered here he was my boss and whatever might have transpired between us meant nothing. I was here as his secretary and I had to compose myself. " Good morning sir," I said as I walked further into the office moving from the spot where I had originally been frozen in shock. " Miss Fredrick?" He said and I nodded my head in affirmation. " Take a seat." I did as he said and took the seat in front of me, I could feel his eyes on me but I didn't dare look at him. I just wonder what would be going on in his mind. " So I guess they must have given you the briefing of how this is going to work?" He asked me, to which I nodded but quickly corrected myself. " Yes sir, I know how it works." " You do know that you have to go home with me sometimes for work purposes?" I swallowed, I wasn't told that but they pay me well enough to do that too without complaining so it was fine. " No, sir." " Now you do, and I'm sure you know you are to follow me for business trips, be my date on business occasions?" Date? Why would I have to be his date? But did I question him? No. " Okay, Sir." " That would be all Miss Frederick." " Okay, sir," I said as I stood up and then made my way to my office, which was just outside his. I arranged my stuff and got to work. I needed to sort out a lot of documents and continue from where the former secretary left. I had a lot to do. I was still sorting things out when the telephone rang. " Yes Sir," I said, " Come to my office," He simply said before he ended the call. I stood up from my chair and walked to his office. When I opened the door, he was so focused on his work that he didn't even acknowledge me. I took that opportunity to access him, he had his glasses on and he even looked sexier with it. His lashes were long for a man and his lips looked so kissable, I had kissed them. I quickly shook my head to wipe away the thought then I looked up at him and my heart almost jumped out of my skin when I saw him looking at me, he must have caught me staring at his lips. Could the ground just open up and swallow me? I stood up straighter as I waited for what he had to say pretending like I wasn't just ogling him. " I need you to help me look through some documents, I left them in my office at home so you'll be coming with me." I didn't expect to start going home with him on the first day, it was really going to be weird, especially with what happened between us, he hadn't said a word about it, and for some reason that bothered me It was just sex and nothing more and it was better we kept it professional. " Okay Sir, any other thing you'd like me to do for you?" I asked him and the look he was giving me told me there was and it had nothing to do with work, this was an indication that he hadn't forgotten our passionate night. " No, that would be all." His voice was so hoarse like a starved man. I turned around and walked out of his office. As soon as I sat on my chair, my hand rushed to my chest, it was beating so fast like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. This is going to be hard. I was sending out invitations for an event we have coming up at the end of the month when someone walked past me heading to my boss's office. " Excuse me please, do you have an appointment?" I asked her politely. She looked me up and down like I was stupid to ask her such a question when I was just doing my job. " And you're?" She asked as she folded her hands. " I'm the new secretary and you can't go in until I confirm from my boss that he's expecting you." " Who do you think you are?" " The secretary, please just have a seat while I put a call through, you're?" " Veronica." She spat. Like I care. When I turned to the phone she quickly rushed towards the office and as quickly as I could I went past my table and followed her. " Excuse me ma'am you can't go in!!" But she wasn't listening as she pushed the door open and went in before I could reach her. As I rushed into the office she was kneeling with her hands holding my boss's leg and he didn't look pleased which meant he wasn't expecting her, she didn't have an appointment. " Please I want you, can't you just love me? after that night with you I couldn't stop thinking about you, please just love me, please " She begged as he tried to free his leg that she was clinging to like her life depended on it. " Excuse me ma'am you have to go or I'll have to call the security," I said as I tried to remove her hands from my boss who had his jaw tight in anger but she pushed my hands away. That got me angry, it was my first day at work and she was making me look incompetent when I clearly told her not to go in. " Please can you send in security into the CEO's office, there's a woman here causing a scene, thank you." The security were able to drag her out or else she wasn't ready to leave. " I'm sorry Sir, it's my fault, that would never happen again." I apologized as it was my job to prevent people like her from getting into his office. He didn't say a word and I took it as my cue to leave so I returned to doing my job. It was lunchtime so I had to remind my boss, I hoped he was no longer angry. I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. " Sir, I've booked you a table in your favorite restaurant, it's lunchtime." " Cancel it, I'm busy." Well, I guess he was still angry. " Okay, sir," I returned to his office ten minutes later with lunch. " Sir your lunch." He could be angry when he was done eating. " But I told you…" " I know what you said, sir,..." I could tell he didn't like that I cut his words…." but my grandma said it's a sin to nature to miss a meal and how can you work without eating? So as your secretary, I pledge that as long as I work with you, you're not permitted to miss any meal." He gave a light chuckle and that calmed me in more ways than I thought it would. I dropped the bag on his table, brought out the package that contained his food, and then I turned to leave but he stopped me. " What about you?" " I bought mine too, it's on my table." He nodded and then I returned back to my office. It was almost eight and my boss had not stepped out of his office, he still expects me to go home and work with him, when did he expect me to return home? Soon enough I heard his door open and I quickly stood up, he had his bag so I rushed to him and took it, I already had mine hanging on my shoulder. " Ready?" He asked " Yes sir." His driver had already parked his car in front of the company when the driver opened the door my boss didn't go in which meant he wanted me to go in first. " Uhm, sir I brought my car, I can't leave it here." " Give me the key Mark," he said referring to his driver,..." Give him your car key, you're riding with me." I brought out the key from my bag and handed the key to his driver and then I got into his car. The drive was silent and tense as much as we both tried to pretend like nothing happened, we couldn't deceive ourselves for long, he was driving me to the same house he ravished me a few days ago. I just have to act professionally and everything will be alright. When he stopped in front of his house my heart started beating but I calmed it down. I followed him inside and he led me into his office. He had already taken off his tie and opened a few buttons of his shirt. Even his office in his house was so big. We got to work immediately as he showed me the files I needed to work on. After about an hour of working, he suddenly spoke. " Miss Fredrick," he called and I turned from what I was doing to look at him. " Yes sir?" " There's a file there with the number B11 can you get it for me?" He said as he pointed to a shelf. " Okay, sir." I stood up from the couch where I was working and made my way to where the shelf was, the problem was when I got there my hand couldn't reach the file. I turned to him but he had already busied himself with work again. I tried standing on my toes but that still didn't help. I suddenly felt a presence behind me, it was him but instead of taking the file he just stood behind me then he whispered. " Are you trying to seduce me?" His hand then slowly went up my skirt, I tried to push it away but I could tell that my effort was useless, I wasn't even making any effort. Then he turned me to face him as my back hit the shelf. " Do you know the things I want to do to you? Bad bad things, I had been trying to control myself and it was working until you had those beautiful legs on display, I couldn't help but imagine them wrapped around me while I thrust into your sweet hole." My body zipped with electricity at his words, my professionalism was slowly flying away. Just when I was about to tell him he was my boss, he shut me up. His lips covered mine and I knew I was in for trouble.JUSTICE “ Tag, you're it," Andrew or should I say Sammy hit his father as he ran away and Cole chased after him trying to tap him.I couldn't help but laugh at his little laugh, it was filled with so much joy. Cole ran to me and I dodged taking the route my son took and he laughed, turning back to see if his father was close.“ Got you,” Cole said as he caught Andrew." No, no,” Andrew laughed as he tried to get away from his father." Mummy to the rescue, tag, you're it,” I said as I touched Cole, making him our target as Andrew and I started running after him.“ I'll get you daddy, mummy go that way,” Andrew said as we both blocked Cole and tackled him and he fell to the ground laughing." Okay you both win,” he said as we both fell to the ground on each side of him laughing." Sam baby,” Cole suddenly called as Andrew turned him smiling." Yes Daddy,” he said," How would you feel about Anna being your mom?” he asked," Cole,” I warned, I don't know if this was the right time. I
REUNION “ I really don't know how to feel about this, should I say I'm jealous?" Liam said as he held my hand and I sighed." I'm sorry Liam, I'm…"“ Hey, there's nothing to be sorry about, you told me right from time, I was just hopeful. I can't stop you from being happy. It pains me that I'm not the one you chose but if you're happy, I'm happy, you finally get the family you've wanted. If I'm not happy for you, what type of a person would that make me? I wish that you never get to cry again, you now know your son, you're with the father of your child who you love. As much as I hate to say this, the guy is crazy about you and I'm sure he'll protect you," he said and I couldn't help but smile. “ You're the best person I've met Liam, you're so understanding and caring, I promise you that you'll find a woman who deserves your love, believe me," I said and he nodded as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it." Thank you Anna, this means a lot,” he said and I smiled." I'll return to
CONFESSIONS AND FORGIVENESS As soon as I heard that she was awake I practically ran out of the house as I got into the car.I drove out of the house, heading straight to the hospital as I clenched my hands on the steering wheel, impatience filling me.I got to the hospital as I parked the car and ran into the building. I stopped at her room door trying to compose myself before I knocked.I quietly opened the door and walked in as everyone turned to me but the only eyes that caught my attention were her beautiful eyes.Those brown eyes that have haunted me for years.“ Hey," I greeted as the Liam guy bent to her and kissed her cheeks before walking out of the room, her assistant following.“ I'm glad you're awake," I said, not knowing what else to say. " Thank you for saving me,” she said. She didn't have to thank me for anything, I'd do anything for her." Why did you do it?" She suddenly asked and I looked at her in confusion.“ Anna, I'd do it all over again, I can't see you in tr
THE LIFEBLOOD OF SACRIFICE “ We had to flush her blood to take off the poison because it was just too much and taking off blood meant we had to give her more blood but the problem now is we're out of blood that matches hers,” “ You can take mine!" The three of us said at the same time. “ As long as it matches, it would be to her advantage if we can get a donation from all three of you," the doctor said. " What are we waiting for? Let's go,” her assistant said in impatience as she followed the doctor first while I just leaned on the wall waiting. " You can't blame me for something I didn't know. You can't imagine how I feel right now knowing that my son is the son the woman I love has been looking for for over four years, you don't know what I've been through so you don't have the right to judge me. You don't know what I had to endure for the past four years. I'm not telling you this for you to like me, I'm letting you know that you have to know someone's story before you co
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH I can't die, not when I have a chance of seeing my son. Not now. She stood up with the syringe in her hand as she flicked the tip and looked at me with a sinister smile. “ I've been waiting for this part, she's going to know how it feels like to have needles constantly being pierced into you," Derick said, looking at me with excitement. “ You see this little needle, I'm going to inject it into you nice and slow and you're going to die nice and slow, nobody will know it's me, and Cole will be mine and mine alone and as for your son, he's going to call me mom for the rest of his life," she said as she started walking towards me and I shook my head, struggling to be free. “ If I were you, I'd keep calm or this might cut a vein and you'll just bleed to death, either way it works for me,” she said as she bent to my neck and I tried to move back but I couldn't. “ Enjoy," she whispered before she stabbed the needle into my neck and I felt the substance swi
SHADOWS OF THE PAST “ Sam! Sam!" I called as I ran into the house like a man whose house had been set on fire.“ Sam!” I called as I ran upstairs to his room but he wasn't inside." Martha! Martha! Where's Sam?” I asked his nanny and she looked at me in confusion." He's in the garden, his grandpa came to see him,” I didn't wait a second, I was already running towards the garden and I couldn't help but breathe in relief when I heard his laughter.He was alright. But anger immediately boiled in my body when I remembered the reason why all this happened in the first place was here in my house." Sam!” I called as I ran to my son and hugged him," You're okay, you're doing okay, let's go,” I said as I took his hand and he turned to look at his grandfather." Dad, I want to play with Grandpa a little," he said as I carried him.“ Maybe some other time," I said and without sparing my dad a glance I walked into the house." Take care of him, make sure nobody takes him, if anything happens
