After receiving an order from General Rossini, she excused herself.
General Rossini and I have discussed how to keep this matter sealed and away from the publicI don't want my people to be thrown into confusion upon knowing about this accident.Two hours later, we heard knocks on the door.The door was opened by the guard and he was followed by the purple eyed beauty pushing a food trolley.Knowing that she's academically excellent, I wondered what her food tasted."I should be going, Mr. President and enjoy your dinner," he saluted to me.Before he turned to leave he winked at me.This was General Rossini's first time to act like this, as if he was matchmaking.No, I can't taint her. She's too innocent for me. She deserved better."Mr. President?" She called softly, drawing my attention.I looked at her. Her crystal clear eyes were sparkling as they looked at me with anticipation."Feed me," I intended to speak in a cold manner but I was surprised that my voice sounded warm and gentle.As expected, a smart girl like her took note of my tone.A smile graced her lips which made her more beautiful.She scooped the soup and lifted the spoon to my mouth.My eyes never strayed at her while she fed me."Did you really cook?" I asked her, she nodded.The food was up to my taste. I could even compare her to the chef in the presidential palace.How could such a woman have it all? She's blessed with beauty and a brain.And she could cook well. Like a professional chef.Is she also endowed with great body as well?The question that came across my mind made me look at her body.She's wearing a loose shirt and baggy pants.With the type of clothes she's wearing, I couldn't tell if she's with a beautiful body.I enjoyed the food she prepared for me.I wanted to eat more. However, it's already night so I shouldn't be eating much.I raised my hand to stop her from feeding me.There was disappointment in her eyes when I didn't want to eat more."I don't eat much at night," I told her and she nodded.The disappointment in her eyes instantly faded.This girl easily learn from her mistake, she put a straw in the bottled water.Smart move, so as not to repeat what had happen earlier.I felt like a king the way she attended to my needs.She left with the food trolley and came back after a few minutes."Do you need anything, Mr. President?" She said to me, looking straight into my eyes.What I like about her is that she acts normally in front of me.She's not pretending to be shy to get my attention.I've met many women who acted like shy women but deep inside they wanted to throw themselves to me and climb on my bed.She isn't shy but not disrespectful.She carried the demeanor of a brave soldier."Help me clean my body," I watched her closely to see any change in her reaction.Her beautiful face didn't change a bit. No blushing cheeks. No dilated eyes. No gasping.I now know why General Rossini was very proud of her."Take me to the bathroom, I want you to clean my lower body," I told her wanting to see if she will freak out.But I was taken aback when she answered me. "Okay."She helped me walk into the bathroom.When we were in the shower. She removed my hospital gown.I held her hand when she slip her finger in my waistband to remove my boxers.She lifted her eyes to me with a questioning look."Are you not shy?" I was beginning to doubt if she has a hidden desire towards me.Her lips twitched."Sir, I am a surgeon and working in the military base. I have seen numerous men's naked bodies," her answer made my blood boil.I didn't know why I was so irritated by her answer."Get out! I'm going to call you when I'm done," my chest heaved up and down.Tara's POVWhen he told me that I was going to clean his lower body. My whole body got numb and coldness saturated me.Good thing that I was always ready for whatever was thrown to me and I was able to face him calmly.So when we were at the shower, I was really prepared to clean him as I set my mind that it's not different from doing a surgery.Plus, I took this assignment from my superior so I can't fail him.I was flabbergasted when he yelled at me and ordered me to get out.I was wondering if I irritated him by the way I answered him."Alright, Mr. President. Please be careful and not make your injury wet," I left after reminding him of his injury.Thirty minutes went by and he was still in the bathroom. So I began to worry and knock on the door."Mr. President, are you alright?" I asked when he didn't response to the knocking."Mr. President?Once again, I called him."I'm done!"My heart that was at my throat went back to its proper place when I heard his voice.I open the door and help him sit on the bench so I could clean his upper body.With so much care, I cleaned his body.When I was done cleaning his body. I got worried when I noticed him breathing heavily."Mr. President? What's wrong, sir?" I asked.Why was he breathing heavily when he was just sitting there?"I'm fine, don't worry," he answered me but I was still worried."Are you sure, sir?""Take me to the bed, I want to rest now," he told me, so I led him to the bed.To make sure that he was really fine. I held his wrist and checked his pulse.It's normal but his skin was hot.I couldn't just shrug about it. I check his temperature and was deeply perplex that he didn't have a fever.I was sure that the thermometer was functioning well and the batteries are all new.I tried to check my temperature and there's nothing wrong with the digits indicated."Mr. President, may I touch your forehead?" I said, I'm going nuts.It's my first time to face this.I sighed when his forehead was not hot.I have to really make sure that he's fine. I checked his temperature again and it's normal.Freshly showered, I came out of the bathroom and sat on the couch. "You can rest now, Captain Smith," he told me with a cool voice. "Mr. President, my room is not equipped like the hospital. There's no button that you could press whenever you need something," I answered him which made him look at me with surprise. "The guards are just outside and standing guard at the door and I can easily call them if I need something," he replied, implying that there's no need for me to stay. I shook my head to deny him. "I'm sorry, Mr. President for not obeying this time. I have to make sure you don't run a fever tonight." Frowning, he said, "Are you sure, it's just okay with you?" "Don't worry, Mr. President. I'm used to it," I answered with a light chuckle. He probably forgot that I was a doctor. He was about to lie down and I heard him whimper. I rushed toward the bed. "Careful, Mr. President."I helped him lay down on the bed. The grimace of pain on his face was still there after he l
The feeling of having your wound poke by others isn't enjoyable. Hiding the hurt in my eyes, I didn't look up to him and continued cleaning his body. Suddenly, I felt his fingers slide under my chin, tilting my head up. Helplessly, I looked at him. His cold gray eyes were not as cold as they used to be. Lost for words, my mouth opened and closed like a fish, unable to speak. "Did you hear me?" He asked after a moment of silence. Out of nowhere he asked me about this. And wasn't prepared to be asked such a question. Particularly, from him. Never did it cross my mind that he would ask me something like this. We were not close to begin with, how could he ask something personal? "Answer me," he said in a coaxing tone which disabled my reluctance. I nodded but bowed my head, trying to evade but he held my chin firmly, not letting me avoid his gaze. He held my gaze with his and my breath caught up in my throat. "I want your word not your nod," he said with a magnetic voice.
Without my help, Roman wouldn't manage to land a managerial position in my uncle's company. I doubted that he would manage to get to that position. When asked by my uncle what engagement present I would like from him and because I was blindly in love with Roman, I asked my uncle for Roman's promotion. I remember my uncle's shock at that time which he quickly covered with a grin and said, "Of course, I will do as my favorite niece asked me." "No, that's not true," Roman denied it But I knew he was eyeing the position of the CFO as he said it when I came to pick him up at the bar because he could not drive. In his drunkenness he blurted it out. I was planning to ask my uncle to give him that position, however my uncle was away for a long business trip. The night of my uncle's return to the country, I went to Roman's apartment to tell him that we were going to my uncle's villa. I drove to his apartment and planned to wait for him there since it was still early. The lights of his
Gray piercing eyes captivated me. As if he had taken me into a different world where we were the only people who existed. He lifted his hands and used the pad of his thumb to brush my lower lip. "You are so beautiful," he said with a hoarse voice. He slid his hand on my neck and slid up to the back of my head. "Mr. President, General Rossini is here," a voice came from the outside. That voice seemed to destroy the world we were in and brought us back to reality. Embarrassed, I stood up and straightened my clothes and then I propped him up with pillows on his back so he could sit comfortably. General Rossini gave me a look as if he already guessed what had occurred a while ago. I hurriedly took my leave after greeting him. My heart beat only came back to normal after I had drank cold water. Did he want to kiss me? Impossible. He wouldn't take interest in me. I don't know if I was right. Or I was just over thinking. I'm not his type. The woman I saw in his room that night w
I didn't notice that two months had flown by quickly as we got so busy in the base. One night, Major Kavanaugh went knocking at the door of my quarter. "Captain Smith, please follow me," I followed him without question as I trusted this comrade. Seeing that we are drawing near the quarter where the president stayed during his surprise inspection, my body stiffened. My heart was restless but I reasoned that he can't be here because I never heard that he came. So, I calmed down. "Go inside," Major Kavanaugh said. Reluctantly, I reached for the knob and twisted it before pushing the door. My feet were rooted on the floor upon seeing the familiar back of a man. He's here! "Don't just stand there, come in and close the door behind you," his voice that was like a cielo resounded in my ears. I missed this voice.The last time I heard his voice was at the party, the night he proposed marriage to me. After that night, I never heard from him. I deduced that he was just jesting. "Tar
NarratorThat night, two bodyguards who stood next to the closed door, looked at each other. Their eyes were dancing with mischief as they heard Tara whimpering. "Mr. President, please," her voice sounded hoarse and alluring. Dawn was breaking in when the whimpering of the woman inside the room gradually subsided. The sun was beginning to rise when the door flung open. Emerging from the room, the man who had dark circles under his eyes, a visible proof that he didn't sleep a wink was already dressed and ready to leave. Judging from his appearance the guards need not to rack their brains to guess what took place inside the room. The bodyguards looked down to hide their smirk. The president couldn't resist the beauty who was begging for his help. They wanted to talk about what happened however they kept it to themselves because they knew better than to gossip about the president. Tara's POVI was startled when I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room. Realizing that it was the
By six in the evening, we left the base and flew by a chartered plane. I was surprised when I got out of the plane. We landed at the biggest airport in the nation at the heart of the capital city. I did not ask my superior and followed him obediently, feeling I was being led to be slaughtered. A car was already waiting for us. The driver opened it for us and I hopped in after General Rossini went into the car. After a while the car was out of the airport and joined in the traffic. Having been sleepless the night before, I got drowsy and I couldn't stop my head from nodding. Unknowingly, I drift off to sleep. The next thing I knew I was inside a luxurious room. "You're awake," I heard a magnetic voice. It's been a while since I heard that voice. My body tensed up and I looked away hiding my nervousness from his prying eyes. I felt the bed dipped which just heightened my edginess. Him sitting beside me while I lay on the bed made the space crowded, although the bed was huge.
After I had my shower. I was directed toward the dresser and had me sit on the bench. The make up artist began to apply primer on my face. The people being hired to doll me up were Astranian expats. They didn't knew that I could understand them. They were discussing that my so-called date must be a filthy rich guy who would spend a fortune just being his partner for a birthday party. So, the wedding was secret. At that moment I was so conflicted that I didn't really know what I wanted and how I felt. They chatter about me and the anonymous rich man while dolling me up. I had no idea how much time was spent dolling me up. It was like eternity. I was all set when Major Kavanaugh showed up in the hotel presidential suite. His eyes squinted as he looked at me. "You look stunning, madam," he bowed, showing me deference. "Major Kavanaugh, I'm still the same Captain Smith, your comrade," I said when he held my hand and put it at the crook of his arm. "You are above us now madam, b
