Then he turned again and drew her close to him. “I’m sorry.” He said and landed his lips on hers again.

He lifted her this time and found his way to the bedroom adjourning the dining area.

He placed her on the bed carefully. She had this puppy look on her face. She was dangerously beautiful.

Shawn was hot now. He couldn’t stop. Coupled with the fact that he was drunk. All he wanted was to be inside Cheryl.

He unbuttoned his ma shirt as Cheryl watched him. He shouldn’t be doing this.

His lips landed on her again as they both burned in passion. It was an unforgettable night for Cheryl.

Grrrrrgggg….the loud sound from Cheryl’s woke up her. As she groaned and stretched on the unfamiliar bed. She looked around and then by her side. Shawn! He was freaking naked in bed with her.

The ringing from the phone persisted and she picked up her bag from the nightstand and took out her phone.

“Where are you, Cheryl!” That was Abby’s angry voice at the other end.

“In hell.” She said, her eyes fixated on Shawn’s sleeping figure.

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“I’ll explain later,” Cheryl said and cut the line.

She turned to Shawn’s sleeping figure again. Last night. She Palm slapped herself. She’s fucked. She stood up quickly and located their clothes that were scattered in the room in a state of passion.

Passion? More like lust.

She quickly dressed up and left the room.

“What?!” Abby shouted in shock. She stared at her best friend who sat on the sofa in their living room.

“You slept with your boss? What happened to the No dating policy at work?” She moved close to Cheryl and sat with her.

Cheryl rolled her eyes. “It was a mistake. And we are not dating.”

“So it’s like a one-night stand?”

“You can call it anything,” Cheryl murmured.

“Why do you look so down?! You should be happy, right?”

“I don’t know, Abby.” Cheryl was looking downcast. This might be a dream come true for her but she wasn’t sure about her boss.

“You know how Shawn is, this might just be another fling to him. I might even lose my job.”

“Oh, God. Cheryl.” Abby said, now it dawned on her.

“Forget it, Abby. I need to be alone.” Cheryl said and walked to her room while her best friend watched her. “You don’t have to go to work today,” Abby screamed after her.

“I know dummy. It’s Saturday.” Cheryl said without much enthusiasm.

Cheryl breathed and knocked lightly on the only thing that was separating her and Shawn.

The large door that led to his office.

“Come in.” A deep bass voice came from within.

She opened it and walked in. He was looking dangerously as usual. He focused on his computer.

“Good morning. Boss”

“Cheryl.” He said without looking at her. Cheryl bit her lips as she stood for a while without saying a word. This was getting awkward, what was she supposed to do though?

“How was your weekend, boss?”

He looked up at her now. “Great.” He wasn’t smiling. Cheryl nodded while Shawn still has eyes fixed on her. She just stood and stared at him.

“What?” He asked.

“Ugh?”

“Why are you standing there without saying anything?”

Jerk! Cheryl’s mind screamed. How can he behave nothing happened. She expected his call throughout the weekend but nothing came from him. And now he was giving her cold shoulders?

“Oh… I want to submit your schedule for today.” She said quickly and dropped a file on his table.

“Okay. You can leave now.” He said and turned to his computer again.

“Okay.” She bit her lips and turned to leave.

“Cheryl.”

She smiled inwardly and turned to him. “Yes, boss.”

“Get me the head of finance.” He said and turned back to his computer almost immediately.

“Oh. Alright. Sure.” A disappointed Cheryl said and walked out sluggishly.

She got to her office and stared at the computer.

“Arghhh!” She screamed in anger.

But what was she expecting though? She knew better.

It was a few weeks after their one-night stand and Shawn hasn’t brought it up. Cheryl would always pray he does but he never behaved as if they once had a night of pleasure.

“We’re here.” Cheryl turned off the engine as she swirled into her Shawn’s mansion. It was one of the biggest in the country.

“Sorry for troubling you, the driver had to leave early,” Shawn said when he got off the car.

“No problem boss.” She said as she handed him the keys. She made to leave but Shawn stopped her.

“Cheryl.” He called out while she turned. “Have some tea before you leave.”

Did she hear right? Her boss was inviting her in? Of course, this wasn’t the first time in his mansion. But he was officially inviting her in. This was different.

Or was it because of the other night? Will he finally reciprocate her feelings? This felt like a dream. She couldn’t get her hopes high.

“There’s no need for that boss.” She said and turned.

“Are you mad at me?” Shawn asked as she turned.

“Mad?”

“You’ve been giving me cold shoulders, Cheryl.”

“I didn’t realize,” Cheryl said. You deserve more than that. Her mind screamed. How can sleep with a girl and pretend nothing happened the next day? She wanted to ask.

“Oh come on, Cheryl. I’ve known you for years and I know for sure that you’re mad at me.”

Cheryl eyed her boss. She was truly mad. He knew her reasons. But why was he pretending and asking her dumb questions? She should be smacking him instead.

“You’re wrong, boss.”

“Prove it.”

“How?”

“Come in for tea.”

“I’m not interested.”

“A few minutes won’t kill you, Cheryl. If you insist, it implies you’re mad.”

Cheryl sighed.

“Sure. Boss”

They walked into the gigantic building. Of course, the Mystic Mansion was the most beautiful building she has ever seen but its beauty hits differently tonight.

“Sit. I’ll get your tea.” He said when they got to the living room. Cheryl nodded as Shawn strolled off.

This doesn’t feel real. What was his trying to play this time? Cheryl thought.

Does he want her in his bed again? No way that will happen. She thought painfully.

“Thank you,” Cheryl said when Shawn handed her a cup of tea.

He took his seat opposite her and watched as she drank from the cup. She was nervous. He knew that. After their one-night stand. He couldn’t get her off his head. It was like he was under a spell. Everything happened so fast and now he’s in a dilemma. He knew what Cheryl wanted, but he couldn’t give her.

“Ah…” Cheryl started nervously. “I should get going, boss. I’m done with the tea.” She stood up. She hated the silence. If he wasn’t going to talk about it then she had better leave. The look he was giving was uncomfortable.

“Already?”

Cheryl gave a confused look. “Yes, boss”

“Right.” He nodded. “You should.” He completed curtly and stood up. He walked up to her. She was looking at him now. Run Cheryl! Her mind screamed. But her heart wanted his arms around her again. Was she stupid or just in love?

    “I’m sorry for interrupting,” Cheryl said quickly and walked off.“Fuck.” Shawn cursed and made to run after her but Any blocked his path.“Amy,” he started with a pleading tone.“Her? Again?” She accused.“You shouldn’t have done that.” Shawn was accused immediately.Amy’s mouth dropped. “What?”Shane brushed his hand through his hair. “Why did you kiss me? What was that for?”“Are you dumb? Do you even need to ask,” Amy turned her back to him, angry? But she could hear her heartbeat now.

    “I won!” Andrew’s cry of delight cut into the night as Isabella fumbled with the cards and started reshuffling.“You were just lucky.” She said absentmindedly as Andrew chuckled.“You can hardly call winning three times in a roll a luck.” Andrew grinned as he shifted on the floor he sat.Isabella narrowed her eyes at him. “I will think whatever I want. You a just a kid.” Andrew made a mocking face at her when she wasn’t looking. “I saw that.” She turned to him with a stern gaze.“You’re just a sore loser.” Andrew mockingly retorted.“I’m not!”“You are!”“What?” Isabella chuckled incredulously.“You’re sulking because I beat you. You shouldn’t be. Eric and Mum are not a match for me.” He said, more interested in showing his prowess than comforting her.Isabella rolled her eyes. “Really?”“I wouldn’t lie if you could easily ask Eric.”“Who taught you then?” “No one. I played cards with myself most time. Because I don’t have friends. No one wanted to be friends with me because I didn

    “You would agree with me that Shawn doesn’t deserve her. You do, Eric.” Allen gave him a weak encouraging smile.“All this while…” he took a deep breath. “Ivey has been watching Cheryl in the dark. And the one reason why I didn’t reveal myself quickly was partly because you were around….with her.” “That’s..” Eric chuckled nervously. “That’s great to hear, sir.”Allen nodded. “That’s why you should pursue her Eric. Please do.” He stood up and walked up to him. “I support you.” He tapped his shoulder and walked out of the room. Eric stood there transfixed for a while then found his way back to his office. He rested back on his chair as he reminisced over what Allen said. This was exactly the push he nodded. The support. But then, where was Cheryl?Maybe he was right. Shawn was bad. He affects her too much. Negatively. His phone dinged as he checked the notification. It was a voicemail from Cheryl.“Hey, Eric. Don’t freak out. I’m not dead. I just need some time alone. Could you help

    “Shawn would do anything for you right now. Katherine’s life is at stake and he loves her so much. At least we are sure of that.” Clary started.“Specify. What should I do?” Amy said impatiently.Clary stared at a for a while then burst into mocking laughter as Amy stared at her with a frown.“What?”“Just shocked you’re suddenly interested.” Clary eyed him as Amy pressed her lips together. “I’ve given up everything for Shawn. It’s crazy to give up now. And Cheryl isn’t good for him. They separated then, now shouldn’t be any different.” Amy mused.“Ugh? Who are you saying that?” Clary gave her a quizzical look.“Shawn was genuinely happy before she came back to his life. She’s just a bitch.” Amy sighed.“What was that sweet gesture you showed her when she was here?”“I promised Shawn not to act weirdly because of the kids.” She drew in a deep breath. “She won’t get funny ideas. Cheryl is a smart woman. What plans were you talking about before.” Amy swiftly changed the subject as Clary

    Amy drew a deep breath and bit her lower lips. “You were the sole cause of their fight. If the kids keep fighting over you, worse things could happen.” “What? What do you mean by sole…”Shawn paused as he sighed. “You can’t do this, Amy. I can’t just shut Katherine out of my Life.” “Oh…You already chose sides. It’s Andrew, ugh?” Amy gave him a painful smile.“Come on, Amy. Don’t do this.” Shawn begged desperately.“Okay.” Amy started after a moment of silence. “I allow you to be with Katherine. How would Andrew feel next time? This time, it was just a push. I saw how you defended them today. You still want her, right?”“I….”Shawn parted his lips to talk but closed it abruptly. “I needed to comfort both parties.”Amy stared at him for a while as if contemplating something. She moved close to him, closing the distance between them. Shawn stared at her, as he took note of the painful look she gave him. She moved her hand to his….and slipped the phone from his hand.“Don’t…”Amy looked u

    He rushed towards her as Isabella raised her gaze to meet Eric’s. She smiled at him but Eric wasn’t looking welcoming. “What are you doing here?” He asked with a tone of urgency.“I am officially homeless.” She drawled sarcastically as Eric watched her in disbelief.“What?”“Dad asked me to leave. I don’t have anywhere to go.” She pouted as Eric cursed under his breath.“How is that my business?” “You are the cause.” She said curtly.“How? What the hell are you talking about?” He mused.“Dad asked me not to see you. But I’m too obsessed. I can’t seem to get over you.” Isabella said like it was normal.“Can you listen to yourself? Don’t you have an atom of shame?” Eric asked, utterly irritated.“Can we go inside?” Isabella said as if she hasn’t been listening to him.“I’m cold.” She added as Eric sighed in frustration.“Then you should go home and beg him. Or go to your friend’s. I don’t care.”“I don’t have any friends.” She said with no hint of emotion. Eric watched her, how could a
