Chapter 2

I heard this guy has a talent. He plays many instruments and composed a song for their band. My sister is one of their fangirls. “Change your clothes. We’ll go to a bar.”

I was peacefully sitting while reading a story that is written by my dear friend when he suddenly came to me just to say those. “Or at least don’t wear that cardigan,” he said. I looked at him as he is properly dressed up. He is wearing a black suit with white long sleeves underneath and his hair is perfectly parted in the middle.

“I am your assistant only because of your work. I don’t remember signing a contract as your maid.”

“Whatever you say. Dress up.”

I don’t have a choice but to spend the night with him and his friends. I thought he came here just to get wasted and fuck woman but I was wrong as I am staring at him, releasing a piece lovely music with his guitar, he looked so serious with every stroke he made.

“Come on! Let’s have fun. There’s a guy who keeps on looking at you,” the woman said to me. She is the girlfriend of Peter’s friend. She keeps on dancing while holding a bottle of Jack Daniel in her right hand while the other hand is holding a glass.

“Peter will get laid tonight. So, might as well enjoy it too and a cute guy approaching, seduce him,” she said. The drink spilled but she couldn’t care less. She just keeps on dancing to the rhythm of the music.

“Hi!”

I looked to see the cute guy she is referring to. “Hi!” I replied. I gave him a slight smile then look at the woman who just give me a thumbs up, pushing me away to our table.

“Are you okay?” the guy asked when I almost tripped. Gladly, he caught me. His hand wrapped around my body making me look at him when he almost touch my boobs. “I am sorry.”

“It’s okay. Thank you for catching me though.”

He smile at me then he looked at his feet. When the music blew up, the number of the crowd on the dance floor doubled. “Can we?” he asked.

“Sure!”

We both danced to the music. The music is too loud that I can’t hear his words why does he keep on leaning to me just to let me hear it. “Yes,” I said. Agreeing with whatever he said even if I couldn’t hear it right.

When the music stops, we decided to stop too to rest. I wasn’t even at the end of the dance floor when someone suddenly pulled me going back to the dance floor again. “Fuck!” I cursed when my feet hurt because someone just stepped on me.

Someone lend me a dress and heels just to be here. The dress is too tight for me. It is above my knee and my bare back is visible to everyone. “You looked so hot right now. Are you sure you applied as my assistant and not as my fuck buddy?” he whispered to me.

I just realized the music suddenly changed, from hot music to sweet music making him wrap his hands around my waist. My hands are on his chest, stopping our bodies to clash together. “Stop talking and just dance.”

“My assistant has an attitude. Aren’t you drunk yet?” he asked.

He was trying to get me drunk because he keeps on giving me hard drinks. “What do you think?”

He winked at me then kissed me on my lips.

“Stop,” I said and pushed him. I can see the silly look on his face. He slowly leans on me while making contact.

“You tasted strawberry,” he whispered to my ear.

“I have a boyfriend. Go and fuck another woman. You can’t do what you want to do to me.”

He looks through my eyes and stare at them. The ocean blue eyes are staring at me again. His blonde hair is dancing, his clean newly shaved beard is making him hotter now. I shake my head trying to stop complimenting him. He doesn’t need any compliments from me.

“Let’s see how far you can hold back yourself from me,” he said then left me on the dance floor. I stopped for a moment to breathe.

“How was your day, sweetie?” Matt asked me, my long-time boyfriend. I am facing time with him because he went out of the country for a business meeting. He will be gone for about three months that why I took this as an opportunity to work.

“Just like how the past days go by. How about you? Don’t forget to take a rest when you have time. Also, don’t forget to take medicine when your head hurts. I have packed everything before you left. Your inhaler is also there if your asthma will attack,” I said to him. He was smiling all the time as I have said those words.

He sighed, the gloomy look plastered on his face.

“What would I do without you, sweetie?”

I smiled at him. It took us minutes before we finally ended our call. Matt and I planned to get married when he come back here. He wants to settle down with me. We already discussed what will happen when we are already married. I would still work to continue providing for my family. It wasn’t an easy decision with him but I am glad I made him agree to it.

My mother can’t work because of her illness. My brother already has a family. I have a younger sister but she can’t still work because she is still in primary school. Our father left us that’s why I am working hard just to let them feel they still have me.

“Tara!”

I looked at Peter’s younger sister who is calling my name. “Peter called for you,” she said.

I just came here. I walked for about ten minutes. I took a deep breath before climbing up to the staircase that will lead to Peter’s room. I knocked three times before I open the door.

“What the--”

Fuck! Peter is on his bed, naked.
