SHELDON.
The elevator in the hotel seemed to be taking forever to get me to the floor where the room was. Mr. Morgan changed the venue to an entirely distant hotel and I knew it was because he didn't want his son to show up again.
It's insane how he still wants to keep doing this despite being caught. Unless he really didn't give a damn in the first place.
Since he's adamant about keeping this up, I don't think Denzel's plan with me should hinder me from doing my job.
I wanted to do this.
The elevator doors parted ways eventually and I stepped out in a short skirt and strapless top. Not sure what inspired this look but I definitely want him to feel like he is going to miss a lot during tomorrow's dinner.
I spotted the room number engraved on the door and using the key the receptionist gave me, I went in.
He hasn't arrived yet, leaving the enclosed space in complete silence.
I was about to turn on some music when someone suddenly rushed into the room and locked the door.
I freaked out and spun around to see Denzel dressed in a black suit. It didn't take a while to recognize him because of his unforgettable face and barging-in skills.
"Geez, you startled me! Denzel, what are you doing here?" I asked finding it amusing that he pops up everywhere.
He wore a hard gaze like I had done something wrong. But his choice to remain silent was what I didn't want. I had a client for peace's sake who would be here any minute.
"What? Is my outfit too breathtaking for you?" I teased.
"No, that's not it. I should be the one asking you why you're here."
"I'm here to meet a client," I answered confidently. "If you want to spend some time with me, you'd have to book another night. Now that I've given you an answer, why are you here?"
"I'm here to stop you from ruining the plan. You can't keep meeting my father behind closed doors. It's against the contract."
I scoffed shaking my head. "He was my client before you. Why should this 'plan' interfere with me satisfying my customers?"
He rolled his eyes like I asked the most ridiculous thing ever. But I still needed an explanation from him so he had to give me one;
"It doesn't make sense if you're going to show up tomorrow as my fiancé right after you've fucked him. He'd think it's a joke because he can still have you anytime and any day."
"You'll have to compensate me for ruining another meeting I'm supposed to have with my client," I said giving up on seeing Mr. Morgan again.
"I've paid you for all this. If only you read the contract, you wouldn't have agreed to come here."
I blame myself for rushing into this deal just because of the amount of money involved. Unfortunately, I don't regret it so far.
"Okay, since we are both here. What do you want as a little reward for saving my ass?" I drawled going closer to him. I've been curious about how he was on the inside—If he also has his cocky Father's bodily genes. "Do you want me to go down on you? I promise to swallow every drop."
My eyes were trained on his and I kept them locked on mine for as long as seconds could go. I wasn't used to biting or licking lips in a form of seducing men but I used my eyes as a portal to trap them.
"Maybe next time. We need to go before my father gets here. I have my men ready to delete the CCTV footage that captured your presence at the hotel." He coldly replied, turning away from me with his phone.
"That's just it? You can't even apologize for turning down an expensive offer?" I half yelled at him, feeling a bit offended that he was not moved by the desire for us to get laid.
"Why should I apologize? You're not my type. I don't even know why my dad can't get off of you." He stated and placed his phone on his ear.
"Let's have sex and maybe after that, you'll know!" I shot surly at him.
"Sheldon, you're so desperate to sleep with me but I'm not too interested. I promise I'll keep paying you without us getting physical during the whole process of the pretense."
I almost dragged out my wig with the need to clarify myself. "I'm not desperate to sleep with you. Don't misunderstand me, you rich punk."
"But you—"
He was about to clap back when the door knob twisted noisily from the other side of the door. Someone was trying to get in!
"Sheldon! You in there?" The voice of Mr. Morgan yelled from outside.
My eyes widened as I stared at Denzel. We've been busted. If his father sees us together, the plan is probably dead.
"What do we do?" I whispered to an unfazed Denzel and he simply tapped on the screen of his phone. Feeling him ignore me, I snatched the device from his hand so I could get his attention. He tried getting it back but I wasn't ready to return it. I slipped the phone into my bra making it stand at the tips of my nipples.
His face stirred in bewilderment but he couldn't do anything about it.
"I asked you a question. What do we freaking do? He's right outside the door..."
Suddenly, the noise from the door knob stopped and I heard voices of someone else speaking to Mr. Morgan. I don't know the things they talked about but they exit the door together.
"Sounds like he's gone," I told Denzel while eavesdropping through the door.
"Always have a backup plan, Sheldon. I texted a friend of mine and she led him away. Can I have my phone back now?"
I reluctantly bought out the phone and handed it back to him.
"Never do that again or I won't hesitate to get it out myself." He warned while I scoffed.
"Never ignore me again because I do crazy things too."
He quietly unlocked the door and after making sure no one was outside, he dragged my ass out of the hotel. I'd call it dragging because he didn't even let me order anything from the expensive menu.
Later, I was sitting in his car with him driving me home. The ride was so quiet that I was starting to spend too much time staring at him. He didn't look once and his entire focus was glued to the road before him.
"So, do you have any girlfriend or ex?" I asked trying to start a conversation.
"The last time I dated someone was in high school. You?"
"I've been with a lot of guys and I eventually lost count."
He doesn't respond and sighed when we got into a traffic jam. I instantly pictured us moving to the back seat and getting frisky on his smooth leather seat.
"Stop staring." He said cutting off my imagination.
Then I guess I'll have to stare at something else then. I opened my side of the window despite the active air conditioner. I got some fresh air and gazed around the place until I was staring at a club down the road.
Hold on, that's Winter's club!
This means that these streets are filled with...my fellow bitches.
Just when I realized what this could mean and quickly tried rolling the window glass back up, one of them showed up.
Darn it.
"Sheldon! Babe! What are you doing in this nice ass car." Tessa greeted biting a piece of gum in her mouth.
I made a faux smile trying to hide how uncomfortable I was at this point. This feels like a deja vu. The last time Mr. Morgan and I were on these streets, two girls made us give them a lift to a hotel. I felt like crawling under a rock to die because they wouldn't just shut up.
"Can you please give us a ride straight ahead?" The other woman behind Tessa asked and I looked at Denzel since it wasn't my car.
He agreed with a nod although I couldn't tell how he was feeling about this.
"Oh my God, Sheldon, you and your client are the best!"
And just like that, the three of them hopped into the backseat. The traffic started moving bit by bit and I pulled the glass back up.
I keep screwing things up for myself. If only the glasses remained closed, I would have avoided this shit.
"He's so hot, Sheldon! You got such a cute guy." Tessa said giggling. I passed a stare at Denzel who was simply quiet.
"Yeah, they'd both make lovely babies." Another woman remarked.
I watched closely as his lip paused and he was no longer lighthearted.
Making babies must be off-topic for him.
"Yas, don't let this one go, baby! Make sure you both make this thing last." The other chipped in.
I chuckled nervously while sinking into my chair. Denzel glared at me when he had the chance. He didn't see this coming and it's all my fault.
We finally got to their destination and after naughty conversations about the various preferences of their top sugar daddies, the car suddenly feels so sinful and Tessa kept blabbing about the men who owe her. Just when they were done getting out of the car, Denzel zoomed off without wasting a second more.
"They're so funny, right?" I chuckled.
He rolled his eyes before whispering, "Yes but I don't understand why one of them would give me this though." Slowly, he reached for the side pocket in his pants and grabbed something. He then, held it up in mid-air for me to see what it was.
I gasped when my eyes fell on what was before me—a dirty red thong.
This means one of them is interested in Denzel and trying to take him from me.
Without thinking twice, I grabbed it from Denzel and threw it out of the moving car after the glasses were lowered once again.
Take that back sneaky bitch.
SHELDON I felt like a Christmas tree with all the shining pieces of jewelry I put all over me for the dinner with Denzel's family. I don't usually get a chance to wear so much but I knew it was the perfect touch Denzel needed beside him. He was a living darkness with most of his outfits being too dark-colored. I'd represent the light coming into his world. That might make us blend. After getting his text message that he was downstairs, I scurried off to meet him. Yesterday ended with him dropping me off in front of my building. We didn't say anything to each other afterward because of the thong he found in his pocket. I don't know if he's mad or disappointed that he couldn't get the girl's number.But I had better things to worry about like the information I had to study about him.Winter's calls also blew up my cellphone the minute I was about to go to bed. I told her I would explain everything later but she gave me a choice. Either I'm in or I'm out. I still haven't decided if I'
SHELDON "What? Denzel, she is so funny!" Kimberly chuckled. I felt like a princess doll sitting in their midst who had no sense of life. I thought that it would be better if she said, 'What? Sheldon, you're so funny!'."Yeah, she loves kids," Denzel replied. He sat there, looking flustered but he didn't act surprised by my response. Naturally, we are already supposed to talk about all these things as a couple. Gosh! How does he not miss any detail?"We have three and they're too much of a handful. But I'm sure you can handle it." Lena said bashfully.Sometime later, a tall lady dressed as a nurse approached Mrs. Raven and whispered in her ear. I watched how her eyeballs jumped from me to Denzel. There was a clear difference in the way she looked at us. She paid more attention to him. Something tells me she's not just a nurse in this household. I was amused at how insecure I was pretending to be. Who cares if she and Denzel have anything going on? I was here for the money.I did mo
SHELDON Everything hurt. From my ankle to my shoulders and an ache in my head. After absorbing the chilly feeling of the tiles I was lying on, I got up slowly. My phone was vibrating nonstop in my purse. There was no sign of Mr. Morgan which means he ditched me here to die.I spewed silent insults at him as I tried straightening my dress to look exactly as it was before the fall.Suddenly, I could hear loud footsteps approaching and I stiffened. I'd be ready for doom if it turns out to be Mrs. Raven. The hairs on my skin rose as I didn't have enough time to run away. There was no point in running anyway. It'll make me look suspicious.So, I remained standing until the person causing the sound showed up from the other side of the hallway. He was tall, very tall, and dressed in a suit. Wearing gloves in his hands that clutched a black disposable sack and a nose mask. I could only see his eyes.At first, he was staring at the ground I fainted on before his eyes darted toward me."Well
SHELDONDenzel refused to state his reason for suddenly wanting me to come with him to his house so late at night but I followed his instructions anyway because this was what I secretly wanted.I can't keep this deal alive from afar. I wanted to be close to him so he doesn't get tired of me. My future depends on it. He's a big opportunity to get wealthy. He has turned me into a gold digger. We arrived at his house at 10 pm after the stressful packing and gathering of my belongings. He was sweet enough not to help me do the packing. According to him, he doesn't wanna be grossed out by touching my skimpy clothes. I had a majority of those kinds of clothes. I didn't mind because he's going to get used to them very soon. Denzel has been locked up in his bedroom while I went to the kitchen to use the first aid kit. Luckily, the wound wasn't too deep so I knew my way around it. After putting on the plaster, I took a long bath. My bedroom was downstairs and he said it's the only guest roo
SHELDON 'Sabina Debra Fester', my mother's full name was boldly written on the cover of the file. I flipped the first leaf with my heart thumping. There were photos of her with every personal information. And even this file notes that she's late; no longer living, dead, and gone forever. I found her pictures so lovely but they were her old photos. She wasn't this good-looking when I last saw her and watched her casket being lowered into the ground. Then, I saw something that made me freeze. Perhaps I have always been looking for something to hurt me and ruin my peace. There were details of her former jobs and where one included that my mother used to work for Mrs Raven. Within that time frame, I was around three years old. She only worked there for a year before resigning. Why did she resign? I didn't need anyone to tell me Denzel was already in the room and caught me red-handed looking through his briefcase. "I leave you for a while and you're already digging up my belongings."
SHELDON Thunderstorms clapped outside and I got tired of observing it from the window. It's evening time and the skies are dark. It has been raining for the past thirty minutes and Denzel wasn't home yet. He hasn't answered any of my calls or messages. I was curious about how it went with his dad. At that moment, I heard the doorbell ring. I glanced at my cat who was curled up at a corner of the living room. I hope Denzel's ready to behold his cuteness.It took him long enough. But why would he ring the doorbell when this is his place?I left to open the door. I was expecting to see his gloomy self-standing on the other side but to my surprise, more than two pair of eyes were looking back at me — three men dressed in formal outfits. Their suits spoke volumes just like Denzel's style of dressing. This fact was the reason I didn't slam the door and ran for my life. I instantly recognized them as the dashing friends in his file. I had to know in case his family brought it up during t
SHELDON I hated to break it to myself that this miserable night wasn't over. I was still in this house with four annoying guys, a heavy rain going on outside, and an overbearing cousin. Winter suggested she shares her business card with Denzel's friends because it was rare to see sons from wealthy homes in one place. If they ever needed girls for parties, Winter wanted to be the one on speed dial. For her not to humiliate me more, I escorted her to the living room, hating the look from Denzel. He forgets that things are so not cool between us. "...Trust me, my nightclub is the best in this city. I also got the prettiest girls for any service you desire." She said passing the cards to Soren, Gil, and Justin.I didn't know this was how it works and we get clients regularly. She actually straight-up tells people she is a hooker? "Expect my call. That's a promise." Justin stated as he put the card carefully in his breast pocket. "Thank you." Winter smiled warmly before giving me a p
I was enraged when Denzel woke me up and let me know that we had arrived at the church. My eyes were heavy and wanted more rest. I sat up and yawned with my arms stretching toward the roof of the car. When I opened my eyes after a few blinks, Denzel was observing me with an awkward look."What?" I blurted."I have one final request..." He checked his side of the window before turning back to me. "Do not sleep in church." "I'm only human. I can't control how tired I feel." "Considering your type of work, you shouldn't have any problem with being awake. Just imagine you have an early exam right after a night with a client—"I placed a finger over his lips to shut him up. "Living with you is more exhausting than working." "I'm serious, Sheldon. You can't sleep for the next three hours. I should have hid those drinks from you." I flipped; "And let me guess, it's all because of your mother. Your precious golden mom must validate me or there will be chaos." I dramatically rambled. He
