LOGIN"Let me go!"
I screamed at the top of my lungs as I tried to get out of the grip of the person who thought it was a good idea to ambush me in the AFTERNOON.
I dragged my feet on the ground, twisting my body in his arm. I knew it was a man because his masculine woody scent mixed with a strong lemon smell made its way into my nostrils.
Wait ... I knew that smell.
"Jesus Christ" The familiar voice spoke when he had successfully thrown me inside the car.
I raised my head up slowly, struggling to move away the strands of hair which clouded my vision. "Jordan Cashmere" I growled.
He removed his cap, tossing it on the driver seat which was empty. "Look, we have to -"
"I thought you were out of the country?" I raised my eyebrow at him. "Ahh my body hurts. You pull like a man"
"Because I am man?" He asked, unsure of his answer.
I gagged, shaking my head. "Not with that vagina."
He hurriedly placed his hand on my mouth. "Don't. Don't say it out loud"
"Mgnnkfd" My words came out incoherent.
He slowly brought down his hand. "What were you saying?"
"I said are you ashamed of the truth?" I huffed, smoothening my hair with my fingers
He eyed me up and down, shutting his eye before throwing his head back. "You must be enjoying all these"
My hands were already on the door handle. I was about to escape. A gasp left my lips when his hand gripped onto mine.
How was he seeing me?
"You like to have my cock with you?" He snapped, glaring at me.
"I mean, apart from the morning boner and the part where it twitches in excitement at some R+ rated movies, it's not -"
"Eva please!" He said, his tone begging.
I sighed, releasing the door handle. "Fine."
His lips lifted up in a smile. "You're serious? You'd help me out?"
His hands cupped around mine sending shivers down my spine. I pulled it back harshly, placing it on my thigh. He raised his eyebrow at me weirdly.
"I'm doing it for me" I eyed him. "What is your plan again?"
"We get to stay with each other until we have this figured out." He placed his hand on my knee. "See how normal we are now? Don't you like it?"
My eyes darted to his trouser. Well, that place.
He snapped his finger on my face, startling me. "My eyes are up here"
"Huh??" I blinked repeatedly, trying to peel my eyes off there. "It's - it's back?" He flicked his finger on my head, earning a scowl from me. "What was that for?" I yelled.
He scoffed. "You're getting too comfortable. Have you forgotten who - okay, wait"
Rolling my eyes, I released my hand from the handle. If he was going to remind me who he was then I wasn't going to be in here with him.
"Good. We're going to draft a contract of agreement..." I started
"Say no more" He stretched his hand to the passengers seat, bringing back with him a document.
He really came prepared.
"Okay, that was quick" I chuckled, taking it from him. "First of all, how do I work because I have an interview on -"
"Cancel it. You've been accepted into my company to be my Personal Assistant" He smiled at me.
I raised my eyebrow at him in disbelief. "Woah! Just like that?"
"Eva, we need to stay with each other and that's the only way. I don't want to take chances" He said, turning the page for me. "We do everything together" He read a line of the document.
"Nah. I don't agree with this. As humans, we need privacy" I snatched a pen from the seat, striking out 'everything' and replacing it with 'most things'
"Fine." He groaned, muttering an 'You are unbelievable' under his breath
"Heard that" I told him. Just for the records. "Shh. I need to understand this agreement so you don't trick me" I placed hand on his lips, leaving it there.
There were so many boring terms but then I understood most of it. We were going to stay together and do most things together but then we were still going to manage to have a cordial relationship.
"No feelings?" I scoffed out, making a face which showed disgust.
"Very important. I know I am attractive and very rich and you might want to take advantage of our condition and -"
Same old. Same old.
"Pause" I brought my hand down from his lips after shushing him up, rubbing it on his shirt. "Your breath is hot"
"Yeah, just like my body" He smirked
I eyed him up and down. "Not like that. In a 'hot that it turns to wet and sticky on my palm' way"
He opened his mouth to say something but I closed my ear not wanting to hear anything from him.
I inputted my signature. "Done. Let's do this"
"Yes!" He pumped his fist in the air. "Thank you so much for this. I could hug you right now. You don't know what you just did for me. I messed up myself yesterday trying to learn how to pee in a ladylike way"
I snorted, covering my mouth. But that didn't seem to help as I cackled.
"Very ladylike" He glared at me sarcastically.
"You'd be stuck with me for a while, Daddy" I ran my fingers along his jawline.
"Ew!" He held my hands away from his face. "Don't do that again" He shook his head, his eyes widened like he just heard or saw something horrific.
"I better get - oof" My head collided with his hard chest making my eyes twirl.
"Shit, I'm so sorry" He rubbed his hand on my temple, softly. I inhaled sharply ready to lash at him but then my words died down my throat as his magical hand began to work wonders.
"Mhmm" I moaned out, forgetting myself.
His body went rigid under me. He pushed me up swiftly like my body burned him. "Why.. why did you do that"
I quirked my eyebrow at him. "Why did I do what?"
He shook his head, opening his door. "Wait here" He quickly jumped out and entered the driver's seat, locking all doors.
"Why are you locking the door?"
"Tell me where you're going to, I'll take you there" He smiled at me
I stared at him blankly until his face turned into something horrific. Then it slowly registered that this was my going to be my life now.
"I'm already regretting this"
Eva's POV Jordan's reaction to this lady told me everything I should know.She wasn't an ordinary person.Maybe someone from his past?"You two know each other?" Tolu pointed at the both of them. He probably noticed what I did.My attention moved to them, curious too."Friends. We were good friends." The girl spoke up first, her eyes not leaving Jordan.He still stood frozen for a long while, I had to nudge him by his rib, lightly. "Y..yeah. We were good friends." He repeated, his voice hard. If those words were knife, they would slice a rock, because of how sharp they sounded. My stomach knotted. An uneasy feeling settling at the pit of my stomach."See? You guys should catch up then and rekindle some sparks." Tolu pointed at the empty seats. Then he dragged Gideon with him.Please take her too.I didn't want her here Not when she looked so pretty. She stood tall in her perfect curved shape. She looked liked she was sculpted by some Greek goddess.Now that I was looking at her so
Jordan's POVThings had improved between us.We were almost inseparable and more open to each other.Though deep down, I had an unsettling feeling.An unattended emotion.I just couldn't explore deep into me. It was hard.All I hoped was that it wasn't something that was going to ruin whatever I had going on."I'm so confused as to what to wear." Eva pouted, holding the dresser open. She was standing in just her robe, looking like a large ball of snow."That's a 'you' problem." Chuckling, I buttoned up my shirt.We were getting dressed for the occasion.We arrived in Paris 3 days ago. I wanted us to come earlier so I could show her around; show her off too. She loved it too - she hadn't stopped thanking me."They're both so beautiful. It's all your fault, Jordan. Why'd you get the two." "Cos I loved the two?" I smirked at her. "Of course!" She rolled her eyes, picking out the peach colored gown - the very first beauty my eyes spotted. Just like her."I know you'll look beautiful in
Eva's POV The commotion downstairs, pulled me right out of my beauty sleep.It's been long I had such nice, comfortable sleep. I don't know but it was quite difficult to sleep whenever I had issues with someone close to me.Someone I loved dearly. Like, I loved him dearly as a friend not that other way. I just liked him.Right?Fuck my thoughts anyway."Fire! Fire! Holy shit!" On hearing that alarming call, I dashed downstairs, panicked. My heart raced fast, my eyes shifting frantically around the kitchen."Where's the fire?" Jordan jumped up, smiling sheepishly at me. "The... The sprinkler killed it." He scratched the back of his hair.He looked so disheveled, batter smeared his cheek and his hair was a mess - flour had turned it grey."This is interesting." Chuckling, I took a seat at the island chair.He sighed frustratedly. "I have never prepared a meal in my life aside noodles. I thought I could, you know, do something nice for you - like a breakfast in bed type of shit." He
Eva's POV "I'm really happy you came to see me." My mother repeated for the umpteenth time.Smiling softly at her, I nodded again.Bailey had a s-appointment. Sex appointment.Surprisingly, it's with the same guy. That's a new discussion we'd be having when she gets back.The house was boring and so I decided to stroll. I didn't want to think about how stupid I was few days back.I didn't even know how to face Jordan. I needed to though. My emotions got the best of me and I just ruined everything we had planned. I wanted to be more to him and kinda got scared that he wasn't seeing us that way."You should talk to him." My mother placed her hand on mine."I want to. I just don't know how to face him." Sighing, I rubbed my hand on my face harshly."Every beautiful relationship starts like this. Chaotic feeling... Yada, yada, yada." She sighed, squeezing my shoulder lightly. "But trust me, it gets better and more beautiful.""How would you know this if yours didn't end so well." I did
Jordan's POV FuckSeth didn't know when to quit.I didn't even know how I associated myself with these morons.Now... I was in a mess.A mess he created for me."I'm sorry he almost caught us." I stared at her from where I stood by the bathroom door.She had been quiet since everything at the office and I just didn't know how to feel about it.The fact that she said nothing was wrong but carried a long face had me nervous.I didn't want her to yell at me in the office and so I didn't push her to spill.But now we were at home... I was done with the silent treatment."You stopped it." She said, still staring into space. She suddenly stood up, searching around for her bag. "I should leave now.""You followed me home. I brought you with me." Locking the door, I walked up to her. "What's the matter?""To take a file." She said harshly before breathing softly. "I don't want to inconvenience you anymore. I rented a space not so far from here but it's a virgin apartment and it's under const
Eva's POV My life was back on track again.My husband and I were doing alright.We even had a child on the way.Life was bliss."Eva. The files?" Jordan snapped his hand in my face."Yes. Yes." I nodded, giving him the files.My life was on track again but the rest of what I said was a lie.Jordan almost gave me a heart attack when he fake-proposed to me that day.I had heard about after effect decision men took and I hoped it was one because I wasn't ready to be a wife.Luckily, it was a joke and according to him, he just wanted to light up the room so it didn't smell like sex and sweat.Idiot."You look distracted, Pumpkin." His soft, large palm helps me crane my neck to his direction. Shivers ran down my spine when his thumb brushed my cheek, sweetly."I... I don't know, Jordan." I adjusted in my seat. "Tell me, Pumpkin." His tone was serious. He sat down on the couch, placing the file on the table. "It's about Donald. I ... I don't know anything about him or his whereabouts." I
