LOGIN"Hey" I smile shyly at him, heat rising to my face.
He's smiling at me with his eyes, seeming to enjoy how awkward I feel about the situation.
"I went for a run at the beach and didn't see you when I came back." he smiles.
"I-I didn't think it would be good to still be sprawled on your bed till whenever, y-you know." I mumble, drawing circles with my fork on the table.
"I don't know" he smiles lazily, enjoying every moment of my mortification.
"Ughh, come on, it's not funny okay, people do this all the time, it's not a crime okay."
He just stays relaxed and very calm enjoying seeing me all worked up, somehow he looks even more handsome sitting so casually and lazily.
"I never said anything about last night or that it was a crime, you seem to be the only one thinking that way." he smiled tightly this time.
"Tell me, do you regret it?" he spoke in that sexy accent of his.
"No, do you?"
The edge of his lips tugs up into a smug grin and he winks knowingly. "What do you think?"
I can't help appreciating his good looks, this guy is a god among men and the rest of us are just faithful followers. Even in casual beach black patterned linen collar shirt, white shorts and just sandals, topped with his black sun shades that he slides up his hair, he looks amazingly hot. Is that even possible? Some people were just born lucky.
"So what are your plans for today?" he asks.
"Umm, none yet," I swallow, "I guess I'll just go with the flow of the day." I utter lightly.
"Perf-" he goes rigid for a moment, his face unreadable.
"Hey, what's going on" I say.
He's looking ahead of me at something or someone, I try to turn around to see what has his attention but he pulls me by my hands.
"Follow me" he commands.
We are out of the restaurant area before I know what's happening and I tug me hands free from his.
"Err- no, you can't just pull me out like that, what or who are you hiding from, cause something or someone seemed to have you running from there just now." I snap.
He seem to debate telling me before he starts, "It's just an old acquaintance, she just can't seem to take a break."
"I wonder who would" I say to myself but he hears me and stalks toward me like a hunter to it's prey."
"So are you saying you can't seem to take a break from me." a devilish smile is plastered all over his face.
I keep backing up till it's just the wall holding me in place, my heart's beating loud, I swear anyone could hear the sound of it.
"I didn't say that" I murmur.
"Not out loud but you implied it." I catch the flicker of amusement in his eyes.
He reaches for my face and holds my chin up, staring down at me again with that unreadable expression.
"How-" his phone rings interrupting the moment, he scowls at the screen before picking up, speaking to the other person in different language, It sounds Italian.
He puts it away about to continue but his phone blows up again, after checking the screen this time he doesn't pick it.
"How about we give you an adventurous vacation" he winks and pulls on my hand, I don't even get to have a say in the matter, leaving me to trail behind him.
We come to a stop at the sea side. Great maybe he'll just throw my body into the water, you know, cause he's so handsome and his only flaw maybe that he is a psychopath.
What if he is a serial killer too, waiting to kill me and dump my body somewhere but why was I obsessed with the idea of him being a serial killer. You know some killers could be really handsome that's why their victims don't suspect a thing, another thing was that other language he occasionally spoke to someone else on the phone sounding all mysterious, like he was trying to hide something.
What if he was in the mafia. Okay that's like a stretch but what if, I don't really know this guy.
"You know I'm still your tour guide, remember." he has that carefree look on his face now.
He makes a gesture with his head to the water and I see the jet ski.
"No way." I reply a look of horror on my face.
"Yes, way," he smiles, cupping my chin so I'm looking directly at him. "Come on, live a little, besides I'll be right with you all the time," he gives me an encouraging smile, "What do you say?"
"Umm, okay."
He takes my hand and we go to one of the guards there, he's telling him something and I'm just in my own head riling with the fact that I'm actually going to do this.
I mean what's the point of having an adventurous vacation in a place where no one knows you if not for things like this, right?
He takes my hand and is putting the life jacket on me, "You know if you don't want to we could try out other stuff here." he says when he looks at me face.
"No, it's okay, it's just, I can't still believe I'm doing this, it's crazy but also exciting" I blurt.
"Hey, just relax and if you feel like you don't want to go on, just give me a sign and I'll stop."
"Okay" I smile and get onboard.
CASSIEI watch as Damian gently removed scarlet's hand from his arm, before he turns around noticing me.We stare at each other for a while, then he turns back to scarlet."I'm meeting a client in ten minutes, I doubt I'll be able to eat this."She pouts playfully, "You always have meetings."Despite her teasing, Damian's tone remained calm. "I'll drop the lunch in my office.""Cassie, help me out here. Tell him that he needs to eat well in order to work properly." Scarlet whines.I hesitate, dumbfounded as to how I was put in the middle of this. Scarlet was nice and all but I wasn't ready to get involved in their- whatever this was.Damian looked at me expressionless before turning back to her."Don't get my employee involved in this." he said flatly but with a frown on his face.Maybe he was angry that I was about to get involved with the matter between he and scarlet.I clear my throat calm. "I just came by to give these to Mr Delgado." I say indicating to the stack of files I was
CASSIEI couldn't sleep properly last night. No that wasn't true, I didn't sleep a wink last night. Yesterday felt so surreal to me, in just one day I was kissed passionately by the guy I had always craved his touch but only to find out that it was just a game to him. In his words 'trying to joggle your memory'. Then Matt, I hadn't seen that coming. How was that even possible, shouldn't I have been aware that he liked me all these time. Oh Matt, what am I supposed to do with you now? And Eva, did she know? Is that why she would always insinuate that he liked me."But I'm going to be selfish for once Cass. I'm going to inconvenience you this time, sway a little, just once see me as a man." his words keep ringing in my head.I'm barely concentrating on work. I have made a few minor mistakes so far. I have been easily distracted, spacing out often. God! I need to be on my A-game, I was to present the concept for the investors reception today. But what was I supposed to do. I'd liked Mat
CASSIEI storm out of his office hurt. I head back to my floor and grab my things, then decide to check my phone to see who called me. It was Matt, I saw the text he sent me also.Matt: Are you still on tonight.Right, I didn't give him a reply yet. Me: Sure, I'm heading to the hospital now.I hail a taxi to the hospital."Hi Em," I greet the nurse in front. "Is he still busy.""I'm not really sure, but he should be in his office." Emily said, she was a petite, blonde nurse who stayed mostly at the front desk.I open his office door as he was putting on his jacket. He turns toward me."Perfect timing." he smirks."Okay, show-off, let's go. I'm getting hungry." I remark playfully.We head out of the hospital in his dark gray Porsche 911 car. Matt didn't own many extravagant things but his car was one luxury he allowed himself after years of working toward becoming a neurosurgeon. Though his apartment was in Lenox hill on the upper east side, it wasn't too flashy.We end up at the same
CASSIEMatt had texted me to know if I was free tonight, so we could hang out for a bit. It was a long time since we hung out though. It was past six already but I was still on my desk, I hadn't clocked out from his company, even though I was through with my work.He looked really tired during the meeting, I wondered if he was still in his office. Before, I could realize what I was doing, I was already on the last floor, a few steps away from his door. It's alright, I'm just checking if he's in that's all.I knock lightly on his door, no sound came from the inside and Pedro wasn't in his office. Maybe I should just turn around and leave but I do the opposite. I open the door and enter the office, I see him sprawled on the couch, eyes closed, collar undone, sleeves rolled up, his hair messy."What do you want?" he says without even opening his eyes.That was a great question, what was I doing here? Why did I come? I could have just gone home straight or had dinner with Matt."Uh, I jus
The meeting finally ended, thankfully. Scarlet walked up to me as every other person files out of the room."Wow! Cassie you really are amazing at what you do. I can see why Damian decided to keep you." she teased.I shrug lightly. "I'm just doing my job."I see Damian looking toward our direction from outside or better still looking at her. She looks at my line of sight, then smiles."You know, I've known Damian almost all my life," there was something in her voice, I couldn't really pin point what it was. "And I've seen people come and go, he doesn't let many people close." her eyes met mine.I nod in confirmation to that, "Yeah, I suppose that's true.""So don't take it personally if he pulls away, he always does." for the first time the smile on her face faltered but only slightly."Oh dear." she touched my arm lightly. "I didn't mean to make you worry. I'm sure everything is fine. Just thought to give you some heads up, know you, for the rainy day, where one day everything is fin
"That's not true, I would never owe you fifty dollars." I retort.He shrugs lightly as he steps back. "How would you know? You said you don't remember." he states matter-of-factly."Yeah but what would I use the money to do?" I retort. "I won't know, you tell me?" he looks at me innocently.I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Frustrated I close my mouth. He was really enjoying this. This was one hell of a situation I had gotten myself into and I was at my wits ends here.Just then Pedro knocks lightly, "Your two o'clock to close Mr Castillo." Then he turns to look at me for a second an unreadable expression on his face."I'll be with you shortly." he said dryly.How the hell did this blow up in my face? I head for the door, hoping to make a peaceful exit."I do hope to get my money back." he says with amusement in his voice.I exit the office without looking back. What was I supposed to do now. Maybe it wasn't too late to tell him that I remember everything from
I'm on a high, is this how addicts feel, cause this is ecstatic. His tongue is doing some amazing things in my mouth, tasting and teasing me. He cups my chin as he deepens the kiss, lifting me against the wall and pulling me hard into him, my legs moving automatically around his waist.Ecstasy rush
Damian deepens the kiss, slow and sensual. I felt a spark of attraction ignite like a fire. I couldn't help it, I closed my eyes and kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck.He grabbed my waist, pulling me close. There is nothing terrifying or repulsive about this. It's drawing me in, ope
Stepping out of my reservation I watch the party unfold on the ground floor with mixed emotions, though I couldn't help but admire the simple but classy decor. There were exotic canapés and cocktails flowing freely, as an events planner it's almost like a default setting to me now, always observing
Walking into my reservation in the resort of Balearic Islands was really amazing, everything here is splendid. It seems like this was the best time of the year to be here, but how was I supposed to have fun all by myself when I can't even get pass this hurt.I can't help the little stab in my chest
