LOTUS
Honestly, this man wasn't who I was expecting to meet at all. I thought I was going to meet a man with a greasy beard and a potbelly, a person who looked extremely exhausted and didn't even want to live.
But as for him, he was so gorgeous, I was jealous of his looks. He had a beautifully sculptured face, a sharp jawline and perfect cheekbones. To say his eyes didn't capture my attention would be a huge lie.
Those eyes did things to me I never thought would happen at all, I was so lost in those greyish blue eyes that were staring at me. He's staring at me! Let me pretend as if I'm not looking at him...
His nose had cute freckles and his lips were full, I really wonder what it would be like to kiss those. I snapped out of my daze when he snapped his fingers in front of my eyes.
"Uhm, huh?" I tried to recall what he was saying but nothing came up, great!
"If you would stop stripping me naked with your eyes you would've heard me," he spoke with annoyance and his voice was godly. Well, it’s not as if you didn’t have me stripping for you not more than thirty minutes ago. I crossed my legs seeing how close he is to me, "As I was saying... Why did he send you here?"
Oh, we are still talking about Wood the dick, who in the world names their child Wood? "He said something about being a present for you," I shrugged my shoulders and looked away, blinking the tears that were threatening to fall down, can't be weak now... you already did that.
"Present? What for?" Honestly, for a smart and fucking sexy man this guy is seriously acting like an idiot, "Thank you for the compliment but I'm just trying to understand why he sent you," I said that out...wait a minute
"What do you mean by 'why he sent you'?" I asked offended, it shouldn't offend me but hey!
"I don't mean to offend you, but if you were going to try to seduce and bed me, I wouldn't be enticed," He spoke shrugging his shoulders, well that hurt even though I know I shouldn't be affected, those guys are only found in books...mxm.
"I was never going to try to seduce you, Mr Rossi, that's why I told you everything he told me so you could handle it."
"Very well, if that's all you can leave," But I have nowhere to go, "What I don't understand as well is why he's using you? Care to tell me what you did to upset him?" This guy has got a curious mind but I can't tell him the whole truth...yet.
"Basically dad owes him money," I shrugged, getting up to get my bag sniffing.
"He killed your dad didn't he?" I looked up at him with tears running down my face, he sighed and walked over to me wrapping his hands around my body...he is touching me! OH MY GOSH!
I was still having a hard time accepting that my dad was gone, my best friend was gone. He saved me from being an orphan and gave me a home, but now with him gone I don't have a home anymore.
"Do you have a place to live?" He whispered in my ear and more chills ran through my body. Please do that again.
"Technically I would have a place to live until you decided it was okay for me to come and live with you, but seeing that I already screwed the plan I guess I'll be living in a coffin," I attempted to joke about my fate but he didn't find it funny.
And I did have a place to live, but I don't want to go back to that house.
"What is it you do for a living?" He asked after some time.
"Uhm, I just finished college so I'm still hunting," I said sitting down on the couch I was before he kicked me out.
"And you had no money to pay for daddy's debt," He asked carefully and I nodded my head slowly, staring at the carpet that suddenly became interesting.
"I guess you could live with me until I figure this mess out, but you would have to basically take care of the house," He said, sitting down on his chair.
"Wait like a maid?" I asked grimacing, not that there's anything wrong with it. But living with him and being his maid, this would make for a great book right?
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" He asked looking up from his laptop and I shook my head no
"With pay?" I asked in a small voice trying my luck and all he did was raise his eyebrow, I immediately shrunk and muttered "Nevermind."
"Now sit and be quiet, I have work to do," He said and I stared at him as if he's mad. I really don't like the way he talks to me as if I'm a kid, but since he's helping me out I'll just 'be quiet'.
I sit and stare at my fingers thinking about the events that have brought me here, and what happened here. I haven't had enough time to think about it but he made me strip almost naked for him!
I'm so glad he didn't ask me to remove my panties because they were soaked. The way he stared at my breasts and bit his lip was so hot it got me hot.
Busy talking about ' I wouldn't be enticed ' yeah tell that to my boobs! I looked up and saw him looking away from me. I wonder how long he had been looking at me because I'm sure I looked like an idiot grinning alone.
Since I had nothing to do, I assessed him. You could see he had the body of a god. Muscles bulging from his shirt and legs. I don't know about a lot of you other women, but legs for me are a turn on, especially the soccer guys legs, I believe it's called bowlegged. Oh my, kill me now!
He looked extremely sexy in his suit pants and shirt, but I wonder how he would look with the complete look. I'd probably faint!
After seeing that he's got a great body, beautiful face, voice made in heaven and is rich. I came to the conclusion that I was just reading a book because guys like that don't exist right?
Oh, but they do! He is right in front of you!
Yeah, but not for me. I get up and walk around his office, it's large and has a great view of the city. I read the titles on the spine of the books and see they're all law and business books. Boring!
I want erotica! I mean who doesn't want to read about pleasure though?
"Could you please sit down, that's really annoying while I'm trying to work," He said, not even looking at me.
I walked over to his desk and slumped on the seat crossing my arms over my chest. I looked at his desk and saw papers scattered around and picked one up hoping he won't mind
But he was so engrossed in what he was doing he didn't notice, as I read the information on the paper I grew more interested, so page after page I read and couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips when I read the final page.
He looked up at me and frowned looking at the papers in my hand, I slowly put them on the table and looked down
"Is it a habit of you to touch things that don't belong to you?" I shook my head no, "Please don't touch my things!" He growled out and I vigorously nodded. Rude!
"How do you plan on winning this case?" I couldn't help but ask because looking at his notes, he was solely focused on proving that it was an affair instead of proving that they were just using each other for other reasons...
"What do you mean?" He asked a bit rudely, I guess I offended him.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at your notes, you are solely focused on proving that it was an affair instead of rape, but looking at all the records here it shows that your client has a habit of being sexually active with his secretary's. And since this one said no, he drugged her and raped her," I pointed to the medical records and other records of testimonials from his previous secretaries
"Are you ready for your correction?" He asked and I nodded, I was about to get burnt. "Keep out of things that don't involve you," He simply said...that wasn't a correction but okay.
"You didn't look at all the notes didn't you? You were going to accuse a woman who wasn't interested in a man to be involved with him in an affair?" I accused totally shocked
"For your own information, you're mixing two cases together. One has already been approved of rape and the other is completely an affair."
"But it's one man," I pointed out, confused.
"Correct, and I'm handling the affair, I told him to go to someone else for rape."
"Why don't you just leave the case altogether?" I see no point in him handling such a case when there's an interesting one on the desk
"And take which one?" He asked, annoyed.
I picked up the case file, "This one," And he raised his eyebrows.
"Double homicide?" He asked and I nodded, "Why?"
"I think the guy accused is innocent, unlike Mr Ferguson," I shrugged my shoulders.
"Why?" He asked again.
"Can we get some food first? I'm hungry," And I just wanted to read the case file again before telling him my points.
"Let's go, but when we come back you tell me why you think Jonah is innocent," He spoke right in front of my face and his minty breath hit my face.
"Can I take the file?" I asked in a small voice and he agreed, ooh I can't wait!
ANTONIO "So explain yourself," I said as we finished ordering our lunch, normally I would send Sophie to get me my normal lunch but something about this girl made me want to get out of the office, but it's also to make Wood think I'm interested in her. She was quite intelligent, the way she told me off about the case made me want to snap but all I could do was tell her she's looking at two different cases, she seemed more interested in the double homicide and honestly, I am too. "Basically what it says is that Jonah stabbed Marlon and Marcia, his best friend's because they had a huge argument about the sudden relationship the deceased had, mind you Marcia was always Jonah's crush so I guess you could understand the argument part. What I do not understand is how he could kill them when he
I watch Antonio and Charlie leave and I close the door behind them. With a sigh, I collapse on the couch and switch the big screen in the wall on. Everything that's playing sucks so I switch my phone on and it's flooded with texts. Devil in human form: Did you manage to meddle your pretty ass into his life yet? - It's been a whole week Lotus, how much more fucking time do you need! Remember your life's in my hands. - Time is running out beautiful flower. I don't reply to any of his texts knowing he already has somebody following me around to see if I'm doing as he instructed. I see that an unknown number texted me. Unknown
I get out of my bed and groan, stretching my muscles. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed in sweatpants without a shirt I walk downstairs and I'm whiffed with the smell of food, I groan out forgetting I had a girl living with me now. I find her in the kitchen dancing to a song, mostly her ass. I smirk as an idea comes up and I walk up to her caging her between me and the island, pressing myself on her ass and she gasps. "What are you doing?" She stuttered out breathing heavily, you sure do got it with all the ladies Antonio. I skimmed my nose along her neck and sniffed, Eucalyptus. Nice "So... you like to watch," I said biting her ear lobe.
"So that's your uncle?" Jake muttered after Antonio went upstairs. Jake had gotten here an hour before Ant and we've been seated on the couch since catching up. "Yup. My grumpy uncle," I said looking away, I had to think about something on the spot and uncle was the best I could do. "And that's his girlfriend?" I nodded again, "Rather we carry on with us?" He asked again and I grinned "Please," There was a moment of silence after I said that. "I don't know why I never had the guts to approach you in school," He said and my head snapped to him. "Wait what?" I spoke out after looking at him for the longest time ever and he chuckled, shifting closer to me and twirling his finger around my braid.
"Nevermind." She squealed bolting out of my office. She must've ran so quickly because I heard her door slamming closed. She probably locked her bedroom as well.I look at the broken pen in my hand and sigh running my fingers through my her, now I've got to clean up all this mess. How the hell did she find out about Stacey... Stacey.After cleaning up the mess I made I tried so hard to concentrate on my work but was very unsuccessful. I retired to my bedroom but first going to Lotus's bedroom.I knock and hear no response, I open the door slightly and see she's deep in sleep. Her one leg. Is hanging over the bed and one arm is covering her eyes. Messy sleeper.I close her bedroom door and head to mine closing the door. I sit on my bed and release a heavy breath, today has been a drag honestly and irritating as well. I guess the good thing about today is that I had a break-through with the case.I allow sleep to consume me...another dreamless night.°I groan out as the alarm brings me
What the hell just happened! No ways, no fricking ways. Let's recap all of this, I might be still dreaming...nope, not dreaming. Ouch, why did I pinch myself?So I basically avoided him for a whole week because I was scared he pissed at me for going through his stuff. And when he finally catches me in the act of avoiding him, he took my virginity.Hard, raw and fast. It was incredible! And painful but it was incredible! I have never in my life felt such immense pleasure and would definitely want to do it again.Does that mean he likes me? Does that mean he wants me too? Or was he just looking for relief and I was the closest thing. But he has Jesse for all of that, come on Lo think positive! Ant looks like a person who knows what he wants.And he wants you?Well, the more I think of it, things did go a bit too quickly.The now cold water brings me out of my thoughts and out of the tub. I wrap a towel around my body and wal
"Hey, Jake. What do you say I take you on that offer for drinks?""Sure. Say 6?""Can you come fetch me now?""Be there soon."I found myself wiping a stray tear well, I guess rejection does hurt, although that was totally indirect but still. Fuck him!I go upstairs into my room and find something to wear, well this is going to be tough considering I don't really have dresses but I can totally mash something up.I find my long-forgotten tight black high-waist leather pants and a black see-through crop hemp and a black jean jacket, for shoes I wore my black heels. This outfit was really dark, just like my mood. But in conclusion, I just really love black.I apply my matte Maroon lipstick and some mascara, I don't know why dad ever bought me such things, I guess he always knew the time would come when I would be a girl... because of a fucking guy. Wise old fool.I finish my business and walk downstairs and find the co
I wake up to somebody harshly speaking over the phone and look around the room. This isn't my room and my head hurts so much!Charlie appears with a scowl on his face but he is shirtless, oh no please don't tell me I slept with..."No, we didn't. Relax." He must've noticed my panic, "How are you feeling?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bed."Like shit. You look pissed." I said and he sighed running his fingers through his hair."Come on, let's go eat." He got up from the bed and extended his hand towards me."May I please freshen up first?" I asked and he hit his forehead with his hand."Of course I'm sorry, the bathrooms right over there. On the left cupboard, there's extra towels and brushes. And I'm sure you can find your way to the kitchen right?""Yeah, thank you." I said and headed to his bathroom."And I'll put some extra clothes on the bed for you, I took yours off after you vomited at night." My breath imm
