4 Dinner

Chapter 4

“Honey!” Aiden grins widely and pecks my lips, my eyes widen in horror at the unexpected kiss. 

“Oh my God! Your husband is Aiden Stewart!!???” Belvina practically screams in alarm. Twenty minutes ago, I called Aiden hoping he could pretend to be my husband and luckily, he agreed…. without any hesitancy which only proves he's indeed the best human being. 

“Keep your voice down” I whispered-shouted at her. 

“I am sorry, it's just so surprising. I mean you are amazing but he's a freaking billionaire!!” She literally screams in my ears which I know for a fact that Aiden hears it. 

“It's an honour to meet my wife's colleague” he says politely and extends his hand for a shake. 

Aiden his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead. I was glad he agreed to pretend to be my husband but he's showing too much affection while Belvina doesn't seem to care. She's awed at us. 

“No wonder she looks so happy today,Are you perhaps her longtime crush who is older than her and extremely hot one!” I blush red at her words, I remember telling her about Callum and how I have loved him for almost my whole life. Aiden body tense beside me which makes me wonder why? 

“Are you okay?I am sorry for dragging you to this” I look up at him apologetically. Aiden glanced down at me and darted his eyes at the back. His eyes darken and without giving me a chance to react, he dipped his head down and caught my lips. I gasped in between the kiss but he swallowed my gasp and kissed me deeply, it almost felt real. 

He pulled away seconds later and traced my lips with his thumb. 

“You are so beautiful!” he says, giving me his dimpled smile. Belvina across us stops breathing and I swear her eyes are brimming with tears. 

“God! That was so cute!” She fanned her face with her hand. 

“Sorry about that, I was distracted” Aiden says not sounding like he doesn't mean it. 

Meanwhile I was too shocked to comprehend a word, “Don't look too shocked, we don't want your friend finding out the truth” he says lowly enough for only me to hear. 

The rest of the Lunch, Belvina gushes about the two of us and even threatens to kick Aiden if he were to cheat on me. Somewhere, I tuned out our conversation with my mind far away from our conversation. 

“Tessa, Boss asked you to meet him in his office” Belvina snapped her fingers in front of my face. 

I gasped and realised he indeed asked for my presence,Aiden beside me let out a laugh which wasn't amusing.  

“Isn't she so cute?” he asked Belivina. 

I swear she'd faint from the amount of swooning in the span of the last twenty minutes. 

“You are seriously the best husband” 

Not that I know of! 

“Aiden, I have to go now, I won't walk you out” he tugged my hand and puckered his lips out like a fish. 

“Huh!?”

“Where is my goodbye kiss?”

He's taking this faking thing way too far. 

I lean in and peck his lips in haste, without another delay, I bolted out of the cafe like lightning and ran up the stairs with my four-inch heel because the elevator is packed and I am not exactly God's favourite person, I tend to get unlucky every damn time. 

My breath came out in a shallow gasp, I grasped the railing and composed myself hoping my heart would stop beating erratically. I have never done something remotely physical and the marathon just now proves I badly need exercise. I couldn't see my vision clearly for some short seconds which is a complete disappointment.

Composing myself I smooth down the crease on my shirt and smooth my hair, I knock twice,thrice but there was no response. I got a little worried due to the fact that he never responds,although Callum is a ruthless boss he never fails to reply when there is a knock, whether an insult or anything that spurt out of his mouth. 

“Mr Anderson?” 

Slightly worried, I flung the door open, and before I could react, my body was squeezed between a wall and his warm body. My eyes widen when his lips start attacking my neck almost at the point of leaving a mark. My heart couldn't comprehend the fact that Callum is the one who is kissing me, a soft moan threatens to break out but I bite my lip to stop it. 

“Callum” I gasped out. He doesn't stop kissing my neck and my collarbone, completely disregarding my plea. Whatever trance he is in, I knew for a fact that he wasn't sane enough to recognise me. 

With every strength I could muster up, I put my palms on his hard chest feeling the hard muscles underneath his thin fabric, I pushed him with my might, Callum staggered a little and stared at me with hooded eyes. His gray one turned dark from the amount of loathing as he stared deep through my soul,my heart sanked and my stomach dropped to the floor. 

“Callu-”

“Get out!” he pointed his fingers towards the door.For a brief moment,his eyes darted towards the door and my face. I see it soften when he sees the tears brimming in my eye but the anger and disgust in his eyes returns a second later. 

And just like that, Everything returned to normal and the bubble popped. 

“Can you come back home? I heard you are sleeping in your office” I dare to say completely disregarding the hate and anger. 

“It is none of your business, I'll come whenever I want to!” he spat harshly. I lifted my hand up and traced the skin he had just sucked, his eyes followed my action but his face remained emotionless and hard. 

“If I’m the reason why you are staying here, I will move out tonight” I say and try to walk away only to be stopped by his voice. 

“Don’t move out,We don't want the maid to start stirring up a rumour” With that he went back to his seat and continued with whatever he was working on before I came in.  

“Tess” my hand froze on the threshold, hearing my name on his lips do a lot to my fragile heart. I hated it. 

“Wait up for dinner tonight” I nodded my head without turning his way, I don't trust myself to speak. I hate that he had this effect on me but dinner? 

I love it.
