Chapter 25
I stood against my car and tapped the floor with my feet in a rhythmic manner. The sun was about to set and the sky was painted in a mixture of orange, red and blue. I wish I had something poetic to say about it but then again, arts and literature were never my strong suit.
"Hey," I heard a familiar voice from behind. Turning around, I found Sunshine, standing near her car. "You leaving for home?" she asked.
"No, I have to join Alice for a meeting," I replied and walked towards her.
"Oh," she mumbled awkwardly, probably due to the mention of Alice.
So many things had happened today. First, I woke up on Sunshine's bed, with her wrapped up in my arms. Then I found her crying in the ladies bathroom after she had been scolded by Alice. And then, I had yelled at Alice for interfering between us. Sunshine and I had a lot to discuss but I couldn't find the proper chance to do so. As far as Alice and I were concerned, we didn't utter a single unnecessary word to

Another week passed in a blur. Things between me and my boss had been a little cold. For an outsider, we might appear normal but God knows things were definitely not normal for me. On the other hand, Sunshine and I were still on vague, undecided terms. We had gone out for dinner twice in a row, flirted many times but things didn't go past that. I liked spending time with her, not in a crazy way but just enough to make her more bearable than most girls in my life.But right now, the issue at hand wasn't either of those women. It was this little courier that I had found outside my apartment door this morning from my father. It contained two passes for his annual business conference in Los Angeles, one for me and one for Alice.I hated mixing my personal and professional life but apparently it wasn't possible. In a few days, I was going to introduce my boss and my father to each other, two people that left no stone unturned to make my life hell. Don't get me wrong, I love

Wrapped up in a fluffy towel, I searched through my luggage to find something appropriate for the conference. There was a lot of pressure to do so because it's not everyday you meet Christopher Trajano. First, he was a legend in the business community and second, he was Stav's dad. The latter shouldn't matter much, but for some reason, it did.While digging through my luggage, I heard a knock on the door. It was probably the room service to bring me the breakfast I had ordered."Come in," I said and continued my search. "Put it on the table outside."A few seconds later, a surprised gasp reached my ears. Angling my head, I found Stav standing behind me, startled. Realizing that I was just in a towel, a deep blush crept up my cheeks and I stood straight."I-I'm. . ." His eyes struggled to find a proper place to look at. His heated gaze warmed me up and I hugged my arms around myself in embarrassment. "I came to ask if I should call the cab?""Y-Yeah

After talking to Honey for hours, I finally made my way to Stav's room where I was supposed to sleep tonight. The room was drowned in darkness and the only source of light was the moonlight coming through the window glass. I squinted my eyes to have a better look at the masculine figure lying on the bed.It was Stav, in just a sleeveless undershirt and grey pyjamas. His arms were tucked behind his head and his eyes were closed. For some reason, I never realized before how bulky his arms really were. His shirts usually did a pretty good job in hiding his muscles but now, they were out there. The thin cloth of the shirt was stretched across his torso, failing to hide his defined abs.I stood there for a moment, gawking at him without even realizing. Probably feeling my eyes on him, he opened his eyes and I immediately looked away before he could catch me red-handed."I'll ask Mom for an extra mattress and blanket," he said and started to move.Not wanting t

The bright light in the lounge woke me up earlier than I was used to. I rolled on the couch for about fifteen minutes, trying to find a position where the piercing rays wouldn't disturb me but failed. Giving up, I rose to a sitting position and rubbed my eyes.The first thing that came to my mind after gathering my senses was the kiss. A part of me was still suspicious if it really happened or not. Maybe it was a figment of my imagination. But then again, that wouldn't explain how fast my heart was pounding right now. It had happened, no matter how much I denied it.I stretched my arms and found my mother entering through the glass door that connected the lounge to the lawn outside. She was in her workout clothes and had a yoga mat in her hands."Good morning, sweetie. Come, I'll make breakfast for you," she said when she found me awake. "And wake up Alice.""Okay, Mom." I yawned. It was nice to have someone cook for you once in a while. Kylie and Isaiah

We spent the whole day exploring the city with Norman and Jean. They both were quite cool and funny, and kept me entertained with stories of Alice's teenage years. Apparently, my uptight boss used to be a rebel in high school and loved to break rules.We went to a theme park first and then to a museum and now finally, we were in a restaurant slash bar to have dinner and drinks. This place had seating on a rooftop of a tall building from where you could see half the city."Let's order a pizza, some fries and vodka," Norman suggested and called the waiter to dictate her our order."I have a phone call to make." Alice excused herself and went to the side. From the look of it, she was scolding someone; her nostrils were flaring and there was a huge frown etched on her forehead.I forced my eyes back to the table and found both Norman and Jean staring at me. "What?""You like her, man?" Norman asked."Um..." I gulped. "Yeah, what's not to like? S

The first thing I noticed when my brain started to wake up was something heavy crushing me. I tried to move but the "thing" kept me in place and suffocated. Gasping for breath, I opened my eyes and when my eyes fell on the "thing" crushing me, my jaw hung low in surprise.It was Stav, shirtless, with his head cradled between my breasts and a bit of drool on the corner of his mouth. But that wasn't the thing that worried me the most; it was the fact that I was just in my bra and I was pretty sure there was just underwear separating me from his crotch down there.One by one, memories of last night came rushing back. Our conversation here on this very couch, me asking him to kiss me and all the things that followed that. Goosebumps appeared on my skin as I remembered his lips on my body, kissing every inch of my skin like his life depended on it.Shit.I pushed Stav with all my power and slid from beneath him while he once again snuggled into the couch witho

It was 8 in the evening and I was driving my car, with Sunshine in the passenger seat. We had a lot to talk about and the office building wasn't exactly the right place for that discussion so I invited her over for dinner.I still couldn't believe Alice didn't remember anything about that night. It was so real, so unforgettable; but apparently, not for her. What did I think? She would wake up and blush and pick up where we had left the night before."What are you thinking?" Sunshine asked, breaking my chain of thoughts."Nothing much," I said, passing her a smile.Once we reached my apartment, I unlocked the door with the spare keys and led her inside. "Don't mind these two weird creatures who just cuddle all day and eat snacks." I motioned towards Isaiah and Kylie busy watching another one of their chick flicks."Hello to you too, my dear friend," Isaiah said."Don't mind us, we will be in my bedroom," I said and led Sunshine through the lo

About fifteen minutes after witnessing the chaos in the coffee room, I was sitting at my desk, with an employee of mine named Ralp David sitting in front of me. His face was smeared with some blood and a whole lot of guilt.Outside my office, Stav was waiting for his turn while his girlfriend, Sunshine, nursed his injuries.As far as my mood was concerned, I was enraged. Never in the past four years had I witnessed a physical fight in my office. It was out of line and needed to be addressed properly otherwise it wouldn't be good for my reputation.With that thought in mind, I shut the file in my hand and focused all my attention on the bearded man sitting in front of me. "Care to explain?""We were talking casually and he started punching me out of nowhere, Miss Montelebalo," he responded."Stop lying, Mr. David. It won't get you anywhere. Why did my assistant punch you?" I asked, using my deadliest glare."I. . .""Don't bother lying
