The Inevitable Blaze 26. The mysterious drawer
Chloe's povAnd I couldn't stand there looking at his ghast look any longer. He looked like a deer that has been struck in headlights and I'm sure he didn't expect those words to come from my mouth. Neither did I expect them, I was shocked too. I might as well say that they weren't meant to come out that way. And the look on Caesar's face scared me, the clock was always turning in his head and that's why I couldn't fathom what he was thinking at the moment. So the only resolve I had, was to run out of that place as fast as my legs could carry me.I Know he didn't feel the same way, he always saw me as a little homeless girl that needed to be looked after. I don't blame him, he was right in every perspective.Once I was outside of the so called restaurant. Just right on time, a cab passed by and I was fast enough to catch it."Where to ma'am?" The driver asked as I settled in the back seat, my heart beating erratically."Just drive." That was my poor answer.The driver was an old man
The Inevitable Blaze 27. Innocent
Minutes later, I heard the rustling of metal and the gate opened revealing his Silver sports car. He just drove in slightly and parked the car carelessly, got out quickly and closed the gate. He then ran towards the entrance route.I could see his silhouette illuminated from the headlights of his car that were still on. I was still sitting at the base of the stairs and when he got closer, he stopped abruptly.He scanned the place before his eyes fell on mine. He didn't say a word. He moved closer to me and without warning, he scooped me up bridal style and walked us up into the building.I just snuggled closer into his familiar welcoming scent as tears kept pooling out of my eyes. I whimpered when he kicked the door to a room, and I don't know where he clicked but lights flooded the room.I opened my eyes slowly adjusting, that's when I noticed it was his childhood room."You're going to tell me what happened, take your time though. No rush." He said slowly setting me down into his sm
The Inevitable Blaze 28. Not a charity case.
Two weeks and half had passed and I was still the same. Cold and uninviting.Now it was on a Sunday and I decided to bask in the beautiful Sunday morning sun's glory.I was lying on the lounge chair by the garden when I felt a shadow of someone blocking the Sun rays."Ughh... Please move, you're blocking the Sun." I groaned. The person didn't move. So I opened one eye slightly to take a peek at the intruder.In his glory, he stood there looking down at me with what I could have mistaken to be lust or something else.His eyes roamed all over my body and my breathing became erratic and I almost started to pant when he finally lifted my legs up from the lounge chair and sat letting my legs rest on his lap.As I looked at him, I realized that I had missed him. More than I could let on."I miss the old you Marvelous." His said, his morning thick voice doing bizarre things to me.I looked up at him and noticed that he had dark circles under his eyes. I flinched and sat up straight, removin
The Inevitable Blaze 29. Sweet and yummy.
Caesar's povI knew it wouldn't be easy for Chloe to accept my offer but I didn't know it would take almost zero effort to convince her. The moment she was fit with it even under certain conditions, I felt like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders.We're talking about this one girl who can't even hurt a fly but can hurt an egotistic human being with just one word. That's my Marvelous and that's what she does to me.A few days had passed since I got back from another one of our business trips in LA which took a week and three days. And in those few days in Bronx I'd barely caught sleep. We had business deals to close with some of our major stakeholders and it was one hell of a task. I could sleep at dawn, that means somewhere around four in the morning and by six in the morning my alarm was rejoicing. How could things get possibly better? I barely saw my sister leave alone Chloe. Sometimes I could sleep in the office over my paperwork since my body was getting used to the co
The Inevitable Blaze 30. The cuddle
Chloe's POV"Hey." I gushed lowering myself beside Caesar on the coach."Hey." He replied back smiling as he lifted his hand and tucked the loose strand of hair on the side of my face behind my ear."How are you doing?" I asked scanning his face and I observed that he had dark circles under his eyes."I'm... uh... good?" He trailed his lips twitching slightly."Caesar don't you think you overwork yourself a little bit much?" I asked worriedly. "I'm used to working Marvelous." He took my hands in his. "You shouldn't worry about it."Well, I Knew I shouldn't worry but I couldn't help it."I went to see Mr and Mrs Johnsons today." I blurted out."What? When? Who were you with?"I knew he'll react that way, more reason to why I didn't want to tell him about it."We also did the final touches at the restaurant." I added trying to change the subject."I Know about the restaurant, it should be launched before the end of next week, pick the date for it's grand opening. But why didn't you tel
The Inevitable Blaze 31. Temptations
Caesar's povI wanted to soak my soul in her mind, feel the vortex of her inner needs and desires, listen to the rhythmic sound of her joys and sorrows, and tiptoe on the matrix of her dreams and longings.I wouldn't believe the depth in her heart until the day I felt her essence, but in a strange way, I felt like I knew her inner needs and desires last night.She was beautifully mysterious, more like a puzzle. But I was ready to resolve its every piece even if I was going to get trapped in its mystery. Maybe she wasn't a puzzle at all, I just needed time to understand her more and I think I was starting to.She slept too peacefully on my bed it almost made me envious at how soundly she slept without a care in the world. But that was not it, it was the smile that slowly formed on her lips as she slept. It's how that smile created chaos in my heart and how it messed up my mind. But it was also the same thing, which every time silenced the storms and calmed down every demon inside me w
The Inevitable Blaze 32. Wonderful young woman
Chloe's povA year back, someone could have told me that a day will come when I'll be having something I'll call mine, something so big as Toothsome, the restaurant I was opening that night and I'll tell them no way in all honesty and sincerity.That was so much more and too impossible.But on that very day, on that Wednesday night, there I were admiring the view of my very own restaurant. Everything was perfect for me. So picturesque.Earlier we had a makeup artist over, he did his wonders on my face but it wasn't something extravagant, he just kept my makeup minimal and natural, just perfect for me. I wouldn't want something so over apart from the winged eyeliner on top of the golden eyeshadow.My designer dress had alived three days earlier, thanks to Cherry. It was her doing and she's the one who paid for it claiming that it was a one time gift she was offering and I wasn't supposed to say no. So my dress was a shade of wine red with gold elements streaking on my borderlines. I
The Inevitable Blaze 33. The speech
Caesar's povI stood there on the top of the stairs and watched her walk so confidently, her head held up high and I wanted to strangle every man in that building who looked at her with a hunger so evident.Then she walked towards the mic and adjusted it. A strand of hair fell on her face and she tucked it behind her ear, cleared her throat at the same time."Uhmmm...." She trailed casually as every one else would. "This might be awkward because this is my first time to stand in front of a very large congregation as this." She laughed lightly to ease the tension and nervousness but that made everyone crack along with her."So ladies and gentlemen, please excuse my poor attempt. I greet you all.""We greet you back." They responded joyously.That only boosted her courage, I knew it from how her eyes lit up."I don't know where to start, leave alone what to say, and I think I'm starting to sound like a nuisance... blubbering mess." Everyone bursted out laughing. At the moment I was sta
