I roll on the bed and open my eyes slowly. I rub my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light peering from the window. "Bryne" I search the bed with my hands for him and I frown and sit up when I find the bed empty"Thank you God for a new day" I mumble my prayer and drag my naked self out of bed. I'm not really a religious person though I was born into a religious family, but it's just a habit for me to thank God everytime I wake up. I walk into the bathroom, empty my bowels, wash my face and brush my teeth. I look around the big bathroom and the even bigger room. This is definitely not the room I've been sleeping in, this Bryne's room.And I used his toothbrush!!I search through his closet for any thing to put on and finally settle for his black sweat shirt that stops few inches below my arse. I step out of the closet and look around the big room. He cleaned up all the mess of yesterday. I step into the hallway and the smell of freshly baked food fills my nostrils. I follow
"My shirt looks good on you" he traces my bare thigh with his fingers. "Must you always tempt me every damn time" he whispers in my ear and plants a kiss on my forehead.I ruffle his hair. "Thanks for the food" "Will you admit now that I'm a better cook than you?" Admitting defeat in Bryne's face? Pftt! Nah! "No. I can cook better than you, I mean my mom's a chef and a chef's daughter can cook" I place my hand under my chin."Not true" "How will you know if I can cook when you never let me cook" "I would, but you're lazy. No you call it energy saving mode right" "Whatever" I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs."You look so cute when you do that Lee" I roll my eyes at him when he calls me Lee"Are you going to your office today?" I hope he doesn't go, I won't be able to stay in this big house alone."Nah" "Good! I won't be able to stay here alone" "Laura called" "Really? I'm sure she has been so worried about me" I feel like a bad friend right now, I didn't even try to con
"Um.. I'm so sorry for interrupting" a female voice sounds behind me and I turn around to see a petite woman, probably in her mid forties standing at the door way."It's Wednesday already? Just drop the groceries on my counter. Thanks" Bryne says to the woman and she nods and goes to the kitchen."Drop me down" I whisper to him and he drops me down. "Who is she" I can't hide that I'm feeling slightly embarrassed because of this. "My bad, let me introduce her to you" She walks back into the living room and smiles at Bryne, revealing a partly broken front tooth. "Bryne this is Claire, my chef" "Hey" I plaster a fake smile on my face for two seconds them I look down to hide my embarrassment."Claire, this is Bailey, my girl friend" Bryne smiles at her and Claire stretches her hand for a hand shake which I politely take."Nice to meet you Bailey, you must be new, I've never seen you here" What does she mean by that? Have they been other girls here? "This my the first time here" I rep
"Bryne just be reasonable for once okay? Even if you don't like him, at least respect him for your mom or pretend in front of your mom. Don't let him come between you and your mom's relationship" "Bailey just don't talk about this please" "Bryne I-" "Bailey don't" he cuts me off "My mom caused this, why did she marry Khakar? I don't have any problem with her, I love her so much, she's my family but him, I can't do what you're asking. I can't stand two seconds with him, I don't know how my mom can't see through his pretence and I won't go to Georgia to see my mom. This topic is not the best right now"I know how hard it is for him but he should try at least if that is what will make his mom happy. I won't push him too far if he doesn't want to talk about it, maybe some other time."Come here" he opens his arms and I walk into it. "I know you and my mom are just trying to care about me but I can't accept Khakar" he rubs my back gently. "Let's go out for a walk" Sure. Anything to ligh
I open my eyes slowly and sit up. All that sleep has made me feel so lightheaded right now. I yawn and check the clock on the wall."Shit" I cuss and jump out of the couch immediately, I've been asleep for a long time. I enter my room and go through my closet one last time. It's barely an hour to the time and I have no idea on what to wear. Don't blame me for sleeping that long, I just really love sleeping-which has gotten me into a lot of trouble- After some minutes of indecisiveness, I finally settle for a white tank top and black leather jacket with a pair of jeggings and ankle boots. I rush into the bathroom, hurriedly take my bath and dress up. Any minute from now, he's driver would be here so I have to be very fast. I loose my afro curls and let them fall freely on my neck, covering the hickey Bryne gave me.I go through the drawer for any makeup product and I don't find any. So much for going for a date from my boy friend's house.The doorbell rings and I take a quick glance
I stand on my tippy toes and bite his ear lobe gently "You're being so naughty, I like it" I push my upper body more into him, making his chest brush against me.I wrap my hands around his neck and push myself more into him "Hard already?" I play a coy smile on my lips and bite my lower lip. "Damn! Lee" He snakes one of his hands round my waist and tugs my hair behind my ear."What, you can't stand me being two inches close to you?" I trace my fingers under his jaw and he close his eyes. "You know so well I can't" He mumbles and cups my arse, pulling me closer as he squeezes. "Why did you have to wear jean today" I slowly trail kisses from under his jaw to the sides of his mouth, avoiding his lips. He brings his lips to mine and I kiss the side of his mouth instead. "Not now" I chuckle and he groans, a nearly throaty sound that fills my belly immediately. "You can't wait right" I kiss his cheek and graze his neck with my thumb. "Lee. Damn you're-" I close my lips over his before
"That's our ride" Bryne gestures at the limo and leads me down the stairs of the jet. He takes me to the limo and opens the door of the car for me. "Thanks" I smile briefly."Just a sec, I need to make an important call" He squeezes my hand and walks to little distance to make his call."Welcome to Queenstown, New Zealand" the driver looks briefly through the rear view mirror at me. "Thanks" I look at Bryne, he's still on the phone and it looks like he's angry at whatever the person at the other end of the line is saying."Is this your first time here" The driver smiles warmly and I smile back."Yes" "That's great, New Zealand is a great place, I hope you enjoy your stay here" "I hope I do" I smile and reach for a chocolate bar and munch on it while waiting and watching Bryne intently. After a short while, Bryne comes back with an angry expression on his face. "What's wrong" I keep my hand on his thigh. "It's nothing" He rubs his temples and let out a breath."Bryne, clearly some
"Oh my God, I really enjoyed the view of nature and all at the lake today. Thanks a lot" I step into the hotel room and wrap my hands around Bryne's neck. "You won't stop your nature blabbing would you?" He fondles my arse and keeps his forehead on mine. "What? Don't say I killed all the fun when I refused to swim with you, I had to take a lot of pictures of the beautiful nature scenery, besides you know I can't swim""I told you I'll teach you" "You can teach me in your pool okay" I drop a soft kiss on his lips.There's a knock on the door I open the door."Room service". The waiter pushes the cart into the room and leaves quickly."What do we have here" I open the dish and I gasp. "Oh my God! Bryne you did this to mock me" I laugh and lightly punch his arm. "Chicken marsala? Really" "I don't mean to mock you, I just thought that maybe eating chicken marsala would make you remember the recipe" He says choking with laughter. "So good to beat you at something" "Laugh while it last"
