CHAPTER 12- TEMPTATION

CHAPTER 12- TEMPTATION

NATHANIA's POV

When I woke up, Warren was by the pool and having a cup of coffee. He said he feels okay but to be sure, I didn't let him go to work yet. I think he was overworked so he got sick. Plus add the fact that the climate is different this month.

"Have you eaten?" I asked..

"Not yet." He answered sparingly.

"What do you want? Cereals? Noodles ---"

"I didn't let you live here to be a maid, Nathania." I sighed.

"I know that, but you've just recovered from your fever so I'll do things for you first. B-besides, this is my way of thanking you." I said the last part weakly. "All right, just call me if you have anything to do." After I said that, I went into the laundry area to wash the clothes I used the other day. I’ll just waste this freetime of mine and the sunlight if I don’t wash these clothes. Warren is already feeling good so I don't have to watch him anymore. I took off my clothes and replaced them with thin ones, because the weather is hot now and it's better to do laundry when I'm wearing fresh clothes. I tied my hair up and started doing the laundry.

I'm sure his laundry is in his room and I don't know who’s washing them. I really don't want to go into Warren's room because I might be kicked out in no time, alas! I haven't saved yet.

I was able to do my laundry quickly because Warren had a high-tech washing machine. After I did my laundry I thought of cleaning the kitchen and living room, I also went through the pool area and Warren was no longer there. Maybe he already went upstairs to rest.

I knew Warren's house was clean but I just wanted to disinfect it because the latter was sick. The curtains were also a bit dusty so I removed them and replaced them. I know where the things are here because sometimes I get bored and I like something to do so I go around his house. When I removed the heavy curtains I started wiping the windows and small figurines that are on display. He loves figurines that are so small that there are many here in the living room. There is also a huge vase on the side of the stairs that at first glance, you’ll already know that it is expensive and exotic.

I wiped everything that could be wiped, the doorknob and mirrors. I just finished wiping everything and got tired already. Seriously? Now I regret cleaning his house.

I was just joking, I really enjoy cleaning his house. I was like this in our old house before, I did all the cleaning even though there was no dirt. I don't know, they said it’s my habit. I know almost all the housework and I'm used to doing it because I'm from a province. I also got used to it because I was the eldest and at a young age I inherited my responsibility to my siblings since Mom and Dad were imprisoned.

After I swept I sat on the sofa to rest. I gasped for some fresh air. While sitting and relaxing, my attention focused on the radio. I didn't seem to notice it before, did I? Did I wipe it off? Aish! I forget things easily!

I approached it and plugged it in then a familiar song played. This song is by Demi Lovato and the title is Heart Attack. I really like it! We always used to sing it at the bar with my co-workers while having a drink, haaaaay, I miss it!

WARREN's POV

But you make me wanna act like a girl

Paint my nails and wear high heels

Yes, you make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand

I'm currently checking my emails when I heard some noise downstairs. Did she just play a goddamn song in my house?

I violently got up from my seat and opened the door. The music got louder and louder and I was very upset. I was about to shout at Nathania but I seemed to be stuck where I was when I saw her look while feeling the song.

You make me glow

But I cover up, won't let it show

So I'm putting my defenses up

'Cause I don't want to fall in love

If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack

She's literally having a concert in my living room. I gulped when I saw what she was wearing, it’s very thin and her bra design was visible. She’s also wearing short shorts so I can see her white and long thighs. I swallowed again when I suddenly felt my whole body heat up.

Damn! What's happening to me ?! I have never felt like this in my entire life, just now. Just. Now! I have seen many naked women but that has not affected me. It's different from how I feel now while looking at Nathania.

So before I lost myself, I entered my room to take another bath.

I turned on the shower then closed my eyes. The coldness of the water gushing through my body was replaced by heat when Nathania's appearance earlier popped into my mind. I also suddenly remembered the night she was dancing in the bar without anything.

"Damn!" I couldn't control myself from groaning because my manhood started to erect.

I touched it and I felt even hotter. While thinking of Nathania being with me, in the bed naked and calling out my name— I reached the climax with a smile on my face.

Damn, I don't do that often but now that I did, it felt so good.

I soaked in the shower for five minutes before going out and getting dressed. Even though the music in the living room was loud I just let it go because when I get out there and see Nathania again, I’m sure I will lose myself and don’t know what I can do.

I admit there are times that I really want to have s*x with her but I'm controlling myself. As I’ve said, I've gotten a lot of women from different parts of the world and those women? I don't have to persuade them anymore because they are the ones who immediately approach and undress in front of me. I don’t have to beg them because they’re willing to spread their legs for me.

And I know Nathania won't do that and that excites me. I don’t know but I admit, Nathania excites me.

I shook my head. If I hadn’t already focused my attention and mind on other things, I might have gone down there and done what I could do to Nathania.

So I went back to checking emails and replying to them.

When I got tired of the overload, I got up and walked over to the mini fridge that was here in my room. I opened it and got a can of beer.

While drinking I stopped when I realized something. The loud music from downstairs is gone. Is she done with what she's doing?

I sighed, I told her a while ago that I didn't let her live here to be a maid but she still insisted on cleaning. I went out of the room and looked down at her. There, I saw her lying on the sofa. Is she sleeping?

I slowly descended without taking my eyes off her. When I got to where she was, I knelt down so we could be on the same level.

I'm right, she's sleeping soundly. Maybe she was tired of cleaning.

I looked around and smiled, she hadn't even finished cleaning. She was tired right away. I shook my head while smiling.

But I lost the smile on my lips when my attention went to her white and smooth thigh.I can feel again again that I want to touch and squeeze her porcelain-like thigh so I just restrain myself.

I gulped before standing up. This is wrong. This is freaking wrong.

I quickly went upstairs and took my car keys, I needed to go out. If I stayed here at home and Nathania looked like that, I might not be able to stop myself from claiming her.

NATHANIA's POV

The next morning I woke up to Warren’s consecutive text messages to me.

'I'm at the office, come over after lunch.'

'I wasn't able to go home last night because I was drunk.'

I raised my left eyebrow. Why does he have to tell me? It’s as if I care. I sighed. But seriously I was really worried about him. I think I slept too much yesterday so I didn't realize that last night when I woke up, he’s not at home. I thought he was just in his room but after a few knocks he didn't answer so I thought maybe he went somewhere and I was right.

But where did he go? He had just recovered from his fever and left immediately. Really, oh, where in the world did he go and not come home? I shook my head.

As I always do every time I wake up in the morning, I cleaned my room and the bathroom even though it wasn't dirty. After I cleaned up I went downstairs to make breakfast.

While eating breakfast I received a call from my brother Lawrence.

"Hello Lawrence?" I greeted.

"Sis.. I am with Mom and Dad, we visited them." I grip my cellphone tight.

"I-is that so.." I took a deep breath. I don’t know what to say. Honestly, I'm not ready to talk to them yet. What they did to us was even more painful, especially to me because I am the one who is suffering now because of what they did. "U-uhh, I-Im at the office now and w-we do a lot of work, Lawrence. M-maybe I'll just call when the—"

"They want to talk to you—"

"P-please tell them, next time. Lawrence, my boss is already here." I said quickly before I turned off the call.

I sighed as I put the cellphone down on the table. I don't know... I-I want to forgive them because somehow they're still my parents but... My a-anger still dominates me right now.

I didn't realize that my tears were already dripping but I just let it go. When it comes to family, my tears are shallow.

After I ate I went upstairs and took a shower. It's already half past eleven and I'm a bit slow to choose what to wear so I took a shower so I have enough time to get dressed.

I was already dressed when Warren called me.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"I'm getting ready." I said while combing. "Do you want me to get something for you?" I asked.

"Nah, I'm just checking on you." I blinked several times. What does he mean?

"Okay."

"My driver will be there in a minute, just wait for him."

"Warren, please no--”

"Goodbye, see you later." I just closed my eyes in annoyance when he cut the call.

That one is really annoying!

I rushed downstairs and out of the house, when I got there, I saw Warren’s driver who’s waiting for me patiently. When he saw me, he immediately opened the door for me. It's good that it’s not a limousine, right? Because where can you find a secretary whose service is a limousine? Gahd!

As usual when we arrived at the building, other employees looked at me again because of the bodyguard who was with me. I just bow in shame, I'll tell Warren later.

"I have something to say." I told him as soon as I entered his office.

Sometimes I just laugh because he lets me talk to him like this, he's my boss. Well he doesn't scold me hahahaha!

"What?" He asked. His feet were raised on his desk and he was leaning back in his swivel chair.

"It is okay if you want me to use your car and let me have your driver but please tell them to not use the limousine anymore. Because I'm ashamed of other employees, they're always looking at me!"

"Okay." He just said while looking at me.

Wait, did he just agree right away? Won’t even complain?

"By the way, have you eaten?" Then his way of asking questions is calm. It doesn't seem like the Warren I first met.

Wait, couldn’t the real Warren Anderson have been kidnapped last night so he didn’t come home? Then this person that I’m talking to is just pretending to be him?

I covered my mouth. I-it can’t be.. "Nathania, are you okay?" I-it's really different... The tone of his voice is really different.

I shook my head. W-what was I thinking! I think I'm going crazy!

"Yeah, I'm just okay." He nodded.

"Have you eaten? Do you want something to eat like pizza? Burrito? Sandwich? Name it." What? Wait, I'm really confused about this man.

"I-I'm still full." I said just before returning to my seat and starting my work.

He lowered his foot from the table and began to read the papers.

I look at him from time to time and he looks very cool, he doesn't seem to get sick. Tss.

I was about to go home at five o'clock when he told me to wait for him and we would go home together. Instead of complaining, I just waited for him to finish what he was doing.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when he finished so we went down the building together. There were no employees left so I was not alone with him and walking out of the building. The guard greeted us before leaving the building.

While inside his car we quietly made our way home. He is whistling as he d-drove. What could have happened to this man and his mood today? It was also the first time that he had not scolded his other employees today. He was very calm when speaking and seemed very sensible.

I sighed. It's okay if he's always like that because it's annoying that he changes his attitude every day. Actually I have no difficulty being his secretary, I had more difficulty in understanding his character.

When he parked the car I was about to get off but I could not open the door. I looked at him in shock but he just winked at me before coming down. I followed him with my gaze until he came close to my side. He opened the car door and held out his hand in front of me.

"You know, stop---”

"So you're ignoring this?" He was referring with his outstretched hand. I stared at him and got out of the car.

"I don't know what's going on with you right now but don't involve me in your trips." I said annoyingly but he just laughed.

I shook my head and was ready when I entered the house, I felt him behind me but I ignored it.

Maybe he just had a good day and he didn't want to be stressed because he had just recovered from his illness. I shrugged, maybe.

When I already reached the second floor and was about to enter the room I almost screamed because Warren pulled me to lean against the wall. I looked at him while breathing heavily.

"W-why?" My heartbeat speeds up because of the panic that I am feeling. "W-what's going on? D-do you want to say something?" I asked but he just stared at me.

I was leaning against the wall as he was in front of me and holding one of my hands, he's so close to me so I could smell his scent. In our silence, I heard his heavy breathing.

Is he nervous too?

For a few minutes we just stared at each other without uttering a word. After that, he seemed to come to his senses and immediately let go of my hand. He walked away from me and sighed, he turned around at once saying...

"Good night."
