He stretched his hand towards the Bacardi, grabbed and withdrew it from the shelf. He placed the Bacardi on the table, walked out, and returned shortly with peach schnapps and cranberry juice. He proceeded in pouring them into a cocktail shaker, half-filled with ice cubes. Shook them well enough, added the 151, and then turned them into a frosted cocktail glass. Added a splash of Sprite, shook thoroughly and Amelia inferred he was done."Seems your skills have being improved a lot," she said with amazement. "If you asked, me, that's a lot to learn in just a month""Things change. I'm not that guy that lingers at your working place, waiting for you to be done, then walk hand in hand with you all the way home" he said and Amelia nodded in agreement."This peter is much better, responsible" she stated. "But I still miss the other Peter, not so uptight"Peter smiled and proceeded in pouring his blended wine into a glass. He stretched one to her and she grabbed it. A cold blended 151 was j
Xavier shoved her towards the wall, trapping her with his hand. She gasped as her eyes widened, looking at him directly in his eyes. One thing was certain, his eyes held lust. It was quite apparent. He glanced at her for a while as if unsure of what to do, but when he finally got it, his eyes left her eyes and landed on her lip. Amelia gulped. The thought of what he was about to do evolved Butterflies in her and she couldn't seem to stop it. Something in her yearned for his lips against hers.He slowly began to descend to her level and without warning, placed his lips on hers. For a second, everything stopped. Amelia still tried to process what was happening. She couldn't think of much, but she was sure that his soft lips against hers was something she genuinely craved for. With time, the shock was over and she returned the kiss with her lips gliding against his. He inserted his tongue into her mouth, wiggling it inside and Amelia could already feel the heat course through her body. He
Amelia groaned in frustration, tossing yet another dress to the floor. 'Too short' she commented inwardly, gazing at the stack of clothes laying on the floor that didn't seem to fit her fashion spirit. She racked her brain for something suitable to wear but she was as blank as the plain paint used on the wall surrounding her room. She looked at the remains of clothes still hanging in her closet and she began her haunting. Her closet had all manner of complicated wears and it sickened her. She had no idea how much she was confused in terms of fashion. This was the first time she was going on a red carpet event. An outsider will be assumed she always went to fancy places because of her intimacy with a wealthy billionaire who was well recognized across the globe but it wasn't the case for Amelia. Amelia sat at the edge of her bed after too many failed attempts at picking up a suitable dress. Should she cancel?. No, that was uncalled for and she didn't have any other choice than to go
Amelia was right, he shouldn't worry more. The words calmed him down a bit and he wondered how she was apt to do that by just saying it.He was indeed right when he said she had powers in her, and that gave her the capability to do whatever unimaginably affected him. Her smile stirred something in him. Her playful scowl was found adorable by him and her tears tore him on the inside. One thing was sure, he never bargained for all these emotions when he signed the contract. The only thing on his mind at that point was how to get Hardik and also back at Martin, but now it felt as though the original motive wasn't what kept him in the marriage anymore. Something else did and he didn't want to admit it to himself. *********************************Xavier breathed out sharply before raising his hand to the door, he tried to knock, but couldn't. It was hard and it felt as though his hand was not his anymore. He dropped it, took deep breaths, then decided to try again.He raised his hand
Amelia flicked her eyes open as shuddered in fear. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found out it was only a dream. The same dream she kept on having and it always seemed so real.She had thought she had been able to get past the constant nightmares, but it turned out that she couldn't.She sat up from her bed, looking around in fear. It felt as though he was going to get to her any moment from now. One thing was certain, there was no way she was getting any sleep that night.Amelia stood up from her bed and cleaned the bead of sweat that had gathered on her forehead. She made her way towards her room door and exited through it.Asking Xavier for help was weird, but she didn't have a choice. Her paranoid self was taking control of her.She was greeted by the dark quiet hallway and that only made her more scared as fear coursed through her. Not wanting to dwell or imagine any worse scenario, she quickly rushed towards Xavier's door.Amelia took deep breaths and t
"Go to sleep Amelia," Xavier said, placing his head back on the pillow"I don't want to sleep," she mumbled, folding her hands underneath her breast, but Xavier didn't pay any attention to her."Are you sleeping, already?" She asked, but there was no response for a while and she concluded he was asleep, but he substantiated her wrong and spoke after some time "No" he groaned. "I can't sleep yet""Yet, Why?" "You sound so anticipated, seems you don't want me to sleep," he said, catching Amelia off guard. She knew well enough that a smirk was planted on his face because that was what he did whenever he caught her off guard."Of course not," she said with widened eyes. "To think I was doing you a favor by having a conversation with you""If I remember vividly, you were the one who asked for a conversation""And you could have just refused bluntly if at all you didn't want to have a conversation with me""I fucked up," he said and Amelia sighed. He was ready to sleep and that meant, no
Nathan stopped mid-sentence as he held his head for a while. Jordan observed him and was about going to help out, but Nathan stopped him. The sharp ache that held him in that position had already left and he didn't want his staff worried about him. "Make sure all the goods are delivered and have a word with... With Marcus" he stopped and held his head once more.. "tell him... tell him that... I" he stopped as the pain in his head was already excruciating. "Whichever way it is make sure..." He broke off. This time he didn't hold his head in pain. He fell to the floor and hit himself hard against it before Jordan could even get to where he was. When Jordan rushed to his side and was sure he was unconscious. He brought the phone to his ear and let it ring for a while. He kept stealing glances at Nathan to make sure, he was indeed not moving. The phone was answered. "Jordan," the voice said. "Job done," he smirked and immediately ended his call. He made sure he deleted the call log an
first It was Martin, now Hardin" Xavier said to Lucas as he boiled in anger on the inside. He was loosing his mind."She did say they dated before"Lucas shurgged.Xavier leaned back on his seat, puffing out a distressed air from his mouth. "I wonder what she even saw in him" he muttered under his breath."The contract husband is jealous" Lucas teased."Why are you so good at sensing the exact opposite of my emotion?""Come on, I have known you since like forever. There is no way what i sensed is the opposite"" I don't love her" Xavuer blurted out of nowhere."I didn't say that, did I? ""That's what you were implying""You are just trying to convince yourself you don't love her. I know deep down you do. I have never seen my brother look at a woman or a man the way you look at her""She is my wife, how else am I supposed to look at her?""The two of you are in for buisness, but it seems the both of you are slightly deviating" "Stop it Lucas"Xavier snapped. He hated being in a tight s
