DECLAN

I wasn't sure how she would react if I told her I wanted us to go shop for interiors for her room so I just decided to take her.

And the fear of her saying no, after we got there scared the shit out of me. But to my surprise, her eyes began to roam over the things in the room.

“I love that color.” She pouted, running her hands through it and at that moment I got jealous of a fabric. The way her finger grazed the pattern, caressing the fabric, I wanted that finger on my skin.

“I’d love this… my room has a wide window and I want a long curtain, and I want it to be beige and off white and oh that table lamp… it would look really nice by the bed.” She rambled on and on, picking what she wanted, she didn't even allow the lady to give her any ideas. It was as though she already had in mind what she wanted.

“Declan?” Her soft voice reaching for me was so unexpected that I startled even though my eyes were already on her, even though I saw her turn and watched her eyes latch on me, eve

    MARIAI thought he was going to have his driver drive us around but I was shocked when he sat in front, fixing his seat belt, his eyes roamed around me, “Seatbelt, pancake.” He muffled in his deep sexy Macho voice, I was sitting yet my knees felt weak.My throat bobbed.Pancake? He called me a pancake?Why does it sound so good, so seductive?Actually, anything and everything sounds sexy when it comes from someone as sexy and hot as him.When I strolled down the stairs, heading to the living room, I froze as my eyes fell on him.He wore black pant trousers with a black belt, a white shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbow, flexing his biceps. The button on his shirt was half-done, revealing his chest. He also had a black wristwatch on his left wrist.He looked too good, I almost tripped and fell off the stairs.I spent two hours after I made breakfast( toast, coffee, jam spread, and grilled chicken breast) figuring out what to wear.I knew it wasn't a date but I wanted to make sure

    DECLAN“Did you seriously refuse to go to dinner with Elle? As in Elle?” Josh asked, stunned, his eyes squinted as he searched my eyes while I drove.“I have nothing to say to you,” I grumbled, ignoring, my fist tightened on the wheel.“At least tell me why you refuse to eat dinner with her?” He was adamant.“I’m not hungry,”“And the sex with no strings attached?”“Not interested.”“Oh my goodness, who the hell are you?” He gasped.“Your friend, Declan who is tired of sleeping around with women… besides isn't that what you’ve been preaching since you married your wife? For me to stop fucking around and find a woman?” I didn't spare him a glance because he was going to read meaning into everything and push ever harder.“I did and have you found this woman?” He asked, his voice rather low and investigative.Have I found this woman? Have I?I declined sex and dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. After all, Maria was home all alone, because Maria would have made dinner and I can’t w

    DeclanI was sitting in the boardroom. The ministers began talking about the problems that were going on, and they went on and on and on, and all I did was sit there, my legs crossed, my back leaning on the chair, watching their lips move. But all that was on my mind was the smile that rested on Maria’s lips as she watched me eat.I’m so glad I went back home.“Mr Declan, are you listening?” One of the ministers asked, yanking me out of my thoughts. I tilted my head in his direction, my eyes flashed to Josh and he gestured for me to act more present.Was it really that obvious that my mind was elsewhere?Ugh.“Mr Declan, forgive me for saying this but first you arrived late, leaving us here to wait for you.,. We all left something important because we believed this meeting was important and now we are talking about something more important and your mind is far away from here…”“Mr Tush, relax.” Elle, one of the Ministers tried to control him but he gestured for her to stop.“Elle, I k

    DECLAN“Hey, Declan, I sent an attachment to your email. It's the pitch from Lia, I was hoping you'd get to see it before coming to the office and also the Ministers are here, I wanted to know when you’ll get here.” My partner and very good friend Josh muttered over the phone because there was a work emergency. The minister was meant to show up next week but apparently, there had been some rumors and it’s circulating and hurting the subjects and that needs to be checked immediately.But why does my mind keep going back to Maria, the way she looked at me after I told her I had an emergency and I had to run to work? She looked like a balloon that got deflated, her shoulders slimmed, her bright eyes dimmed and I know this is an exaggeration but I swear I felt her disappointment, her sadness.After that night when she told me just was no chef, it was half true, it was obvious, too obvious. I have seen hobbies and I have seen passion, love for something and that is what she has for cooking

  • Belonging to my Fiancé’s Dad   Chapter 12

    MariaI couldn't think of a way to answer Declan’s question: Is cooking just a hobby? I don’t know. I mean, I work at a restaurant part-time and at a bakery part-time, but that was all so I could support Chloe and me growing up.After our parent died, it was just me and my sister, I had to play the role of a mother but what I didn't know is, being a mother is not just being there, it’s the cooking, the staying up late, the worries about bills, it’s the selflessness involved. Those were things I wasn't prepared for but I had to do.Chloe is just two years younger, but she was really a kid, and she still is. She still acts like a kid even if she is a grown-up, and I guess I spoiled her.Leaving her to relax while I did everything, waking up early to cook for her..
