For some reason, the following night, Alex wore one of the silky nightgowns Cara had bought for her, and she stood in front of the mirror in her room to check herself out. She wasn’t sure why she had worn it, because it wasn’t as if someone was going to see her in it or anything. Perhaps, it was because of how it made her feel sexy, or how it revealed her figure and made her look at herself in a new light.“I should wear things like this more often.” She whispered to herself, a small smile on her face. She was grinning like an idiot as she looked at herself up and down, turning her body to view the backside as well. There was something so nice about wearing something that felt good against one's skin and looked sexy on the body, as she had noticed and it was oddly good. Not that it only felt good, but she could tell that it made her prettier. She was comfortable in it, and the vibrant color was perfect with her skin tone. She smiled again at herself in the mirror but then it soon s
Gabe had been feeling restless all day, but it was worse tonight when he had dinner with Alex. He had used his position as her body to get her to stay and eat with him. She had run after they were done, but he didn’t stop her. He wasn’t in the mood for going back and forth with her. Something had happened, like a flash and he had been bothered about it since. There was a flash of something about his childhood when he was ten or something and he had no idea why that had happened. He hoped that the flash would come back and he would have an idea of what it was about. Sighing, he shook his head and tried to concentrate on the work in front of him. He tried, but he couldn’t. He was working on the files for the project of the buildings he wanted to construct, working on the budget, but as much as he tried, the flash he had kept bothering him. After what seemed like an eternity, he was able to get rid of the bother and worked some more. After he was done, he stood up to get some water b
His hands were on her breasts, her stomach, her back, and everywhere. He pulled back a little, and she stared up into his face. As he held her in his strong arms which she had dreamed about, she could feel her heart hammering against her ribcage like someone was beating a drum. “I don’t know what to do with you.” He whispered, but Alex heard it. She wondered what made him say that, but her body's reaction didn’t make her think about it for long. It was, after all, said that people need to live in the moment more often. So, here she was, living in the moment. She stared at the man she worked for, the man that turned her inside out and she waited to see what he would do to her next. "It’s over, you know. My waiting is over, but even at that, I’m still not sure of what to do with you," he whispered, his deep voice as warm and burning as his eyes. He placed his forehead against hers and blew out a shaky breath. Gold was now fully awake and he said. “Kiss her again. I want to feel her
He watched as she danced from foot to foot, nervous and uncomfortable with the fact that she had sent Gabe to do.“Huh, I was… huh. She looked so helpless trying t explain why she had told him to whisk the chocolate.He wanted to pull her to him and hug her, a feeling that was so new to him that he wasn’t sure what to do about it. “Don’t worry, Alex. It’s no problem. It’s not as if you asked me to kill someone,” he said. “Although I can if you want me to.” He added, causing her to smile a little. “Okay then, but you have to know that I’m in control here in the kitchen,” she said, giving him a stern look. “So you either take it or you leave it.” He wanted to throw his head bad and laugh, seeing as what she said was so funny. Plus, the switch in her attitude just about made him want to crack up. She had been so nervous some few minutes ago, dancing from one foot to the other in an uncomfortable manner just because she had bossed him around, but now she was doing it so boldly. “I thi
After the encounter in the kitchen, Alex hadn’t seen much of Gabe for a couple of days but she knew that it wasn’t because he was avoiding her. She was glad that wasn’t the case. She hoped that things get even better between them, but before then, before whatever it was that would happen, she thought that it was better to tell her best friend about it. She had called her last night, but she couldn’t tell her on the phone. That wasn’t a phone conversation kind of talk, so she had told her that she needed to see her for something important, whenever she was available to see her, and Cara had asked them to meet in a coffee shop in town. Alex knew how busy Cara was and that was why she had made sure to tell her they should meet only when she was available. She was glad that she made time to meet her today. Cara own a pastry shop and made cakes for weddings sometimes so she was always so busy. She understood that, so she could never ask her to show up or make time if she was busy. Sigh
Cara nodded as she looked up at the young woman and said. "Thank you, Amy. We'll order something later. For now, can we get two cups of cappuccino?" She asked, and Amy nodded, and with a polite smile, she left. Cara turned back to her best friend. "Now, tell me. What's this about?" She asked.“It’s about Mr. Berkeley…” She started, but Cara interrupted her. “What? What’s going on? Is Gabe okay? Did something happen with you both?” she asked all the questions together. “Huh, well, everything is fine. I mean, something is going on, but it’s nothing you think. No one is hurt or anything like that.” She said. “The thing is..” she scratched the back of her head and continued. “Well, something happened between us, and I thought that I would tell you. You’re my best friend and you helped me get a job in Berkeley Moore. I thought I should let you know what’s going on.” Cara frowned in confusion as she stared at Alex. “You’re rambling, Alex. What happened exactly?” she asked. “Well, I’m ge
Meeting like this two days in a row wasn’t what Alex expected but Cara had called her this morning that she had news. When she had, she had hoped that it had something to do with what they discussed yesterday and the fact that there was a change in everything she told her. She had dressed as casually as she did yesterday, but she didn’t have to wait for Cara this time. As soon as she got to the restaurant, she saw Cara at a table already. She didn’t want her to think that she was angry about how they left things yesterday, even though she was a little, so she smiled. She had been thinking about it for the better part of the night and even when she woke up this morning. As she saw Cara smile back at her though, she didn’t have to fake her smile anymore because she couldn’t stay mad at her for a long time anyway. Back in college, they would always make up the same minute they had disagreed on something because of that. She sat down on the chair opposite Cara, and she could tell that
“Cara, I think I just found her.” The man, who Cara called Ethan said as he stared at her. Alex heard Cara chuckle as she thought of what he meant by that, but she didn’t have to wonder too much, because he soon explain himself. “I think I’ve just found the woman of my dreams.” He said. Looking at him from head to toe, Alex studied him. If she was being honest, he was handsome, just not as handsome as Gabe was. He was tall and had broad shoulders. He had a five o'clock stubble on his face and his pink lips were firm. He was wearing a white shirt with a pair of ash pant trousers. The top two shirt buttons were undone and she could see a hint of curly hair. From what she could see, she realized that it wasn’t that much, the chest hair. She pushed her eyes back up, just as he raised her hand in his into his mouth, and then he placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Alex. Really nice!” Again, Cara chuckled. She had known Ethan for a while now. He was one o
