Episode 5: DO YOU REMEMBER?

I couldn't join them for lunch at the restaurant; I had to make do with the snacks at the offices. After I had finished checking the documents on my table, I went with them to my boss's office; he wasn't at the office, and that gave me enough time to quickly drop the document and come out. 

Some minutes later, as my colleagues were beginning to return from their lunch, Taila, once again, approached my table, and she brought a box of cupcakes with milkshakes for me.

"You must be starving, right?". She served it on the table for me.

"Thanks." I grabbed her hand and gave her a friendly squeeze.

She nods and goes away to her deck. 

I opened the box, and just as I was about to bite the first cupcake, my boss came outside and yelled my name.

"Nina!!!". 

Immediately, I let go of the cupcake, closed the box, and hurried to his office.

"Sir! You called?". 

I knocked before entering.

My boss slowly lifted his head and tossed the document. I took my time and energy to work on my face.

"Who is the one that employed you.?". He asked, displeased.

"I got recommended for the job." I stammered, bent down, and gathered the documents with a broken heart.

"You got recommended?". He called Taila into his office. Taila came, and she saw me standing in the corner with my head slightly bent.

Our boss requested that my employee's document be sent to his office. Taila reluctantly went to fetch it, and she came back afterward and placed the documents on his table.

"Here you go," she said, turning to look at me. Our boss saw her and rudely sent her away from his office. He then went forward and picked up my file. He read through it, and after a few minutes of glancing, he looked back at me and asked.

"Are you Mr. Ben Lakewood's child?". 

I unhurriedly shook my head and said,.

"Yes sir,".

Instantly, he called Taila back, and she came, and our boss asked her to offer me a cup of coffee and also clean off my table because, starting today, I was going to be a member of the company and not an intern anymore.

As good and existing as that might sound, I didn't want that, all my life, when people find out that I am somewhat related to Lakewood, and as their daughter, it paves the way for me.

I should be working at the company; however, Dad wants me to be more business-minded, and it will be after that that I can finally get a place at the Lakewood Empire, which isn't doing well as we speak.

I wonder if Christopher has found a way not only to help the company but also to stop my engagement with a man like Drake.

I had to get my boss to change his mind; I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Being fully aware, I didn't go ahead of the other intern due to my hard work, but because of who my parents were...

I got back to my desk.

Taila then came over, and she began to question me.

"You didn't tell me you had rich parents.". She said to me, She sat on the chair next to me.

"Sorry! I thought it wasn't necessary.". I replied, my hands slowly caressing the cupcake box.

"Not necessary? You're lucky you have parents who are wealthy, unlike some of us here, who had to work to make ends meet.". 

She sadly looked around the offices; I did too, and I realized my life and theirs aren't too different.

Yes, I was adopted by rich parents and had a good life growing up. I have always wanted to work hard and get things based on my merit, but unfortunately, my foster parents had everything planned and given to me on a silver platter, including Christopher, and didn't fail to get me whatever I wanted.

I went to the kitchen immediately after I got back from the office. My parents had one of the maids inform me that they had gone out to a party, and Christopher accompanied them. I prepared warm water. Today at the office was more hectic than yesterday, although I do feel like my boss might begin to act a little bit differently towards me.

I was ready for bed when I heard a knock on the door. I had sent a maid to get me a jar of water and a glass. I assumed she must've come with what I had requested for her to bring. I opened the door wide, and I found Christopher standing at my door in his black tuxedo.

"You? What are you doing here? Didn't you go with Mom and Dad to the party?".

I allowed him to come into my bedroom.

He goes to sit down on my bed and exhales.

"Is everything okay? What happened?". I pulled closer and asked him. 

"Nina, it's about Drake; he was at the party." He locked his hands in anger and explained to me what happened—how he got into an argument with Drake—and our parents had to send him back home.

The maid walked in.

"Ma'am, the water?". She was started from even taking a step forward.

I carried the jar of water and glass away from her and dropped it on the table. 

I waited for her to leave before talking to Christopher.

"It's okay, just go to your bedroom and rest." He helped me get up after sitting on my bed and unintentionally scattering it. I don't like sleeping in a scattered bed.

"Nina, what if I don't want to go?".

He keeps his feet from moving. turns back to look at my face.

"I want to stay here for the night, can I?". He asked, and I deemed his eyes so emotional that I had no choice but to accept his request.

"Okay! But you'll need to leave tomorrow morning before someone finds you here.". 

I gave him the condition that he needed to stay overnight in my bedroom.

Christopher took the left side of the bed since I love sleeping on the right. I got into bed in my nightgown, short and transparent; he took off his tuxedo and also removed his pants; then he went into bed in his tight boxers.

I couldn't keep my eyes from staring at his manhood.

He saw me and said,.

"Please, don't rape me." He teased and moaned like a girl in danger.

"Oh please! Go away,". He picked up a pillow and playfully tossed it in his face. He picked it up and tossed it back to me.

"Do you remember the first time we shared the same bed?" ...

He made me recall the first day I had sex with a man.

Christopher was the first man I gave myself to, and he is definitely going to be the last.

"Don't remind me.". I grunted loudly. I took up the blanket to cover my head, but it got stolen away from him.

"Nina! Do you remember or not?" He wanted me to give him my response, even though I am sure we both remembered what happened on that very day.

"If I say yes, will you sleep with me?". I yawned.

"Absolutely. Do you remember the first day we shared a bed?". He agreed and went ahead and asked me the same question.

"Yes! I remember everything." I declared it openly.

Christopher's face was brightened by my response.

"Nice, do you also remember what happened between the both of us?". He asked another question.

"I do! Why are you even asking me this?". 

His question was starting to get me annoyed.

"No reason,". He pulled forward and kissed me on the lips. Goodnight, Nina; I'll see you tomorrow." He turned his back on me and was facing the door. I turned too and faced the window.
