“What is this?” Barbara asked again, looking around in disgust and moving away from the flowers as though they were a plague.Richard clenched his fist but quickly wore a smile. “You know, I thought that I should make use of roses to describe how beautiful and special you are to me. Most times, words alone can’t describe that”, Richard announced as he stretched out his hands for Barbara to cling on.All these were Emily’s idea, and he could sense that it wasn’t great.Barbara took a step backward again and narrowed her eyes to the roses scattered on the floor. She started following the trail, slowly and without uttering any word.Richard sighed in relief. At least, there was beginning to be progress in the game.Barbara came to a halt when the roses stopped at the door of their bedroom. The bedroom had been isolated for the past months. Neither of them found the need to use it because it was their favorite place to be those times when their love was young and sweet.So, they abandon
“Barbara wait!” Richard called out and grabbed her hands lightly.He pulled her close to his chest until they were only a breath away from each other.“You would love to see this one”, Richard announced with a smile on his face, after which he gave her a quick kiss on her cheeks.He retreated to the room and picked up a photo album that laid on the bed.“You missed out this surprise too”, he said and picked it up, walking back towards her and stretching it out.“What is that? That looks like a book”, Barbara said, observing the photo album and lowering her eyes to the floor.“Check it out”.Richard stayed still and watched her intently. Each and everything he did was because Emily asked him to.Grudgingly, Barbara collected the photo album and tore off the gift wraps.“You may want to sit down for that”, Richard suggested and grabbed her arms.She flinched and pushed him aside, until he lost balance and fell to the floor.“Richard! I have no idea of what this is about. But then! Don’t
“Ohh! The maid”, Barbara’s eyes lit up the moment she caught sight of Emily, who was trying so hard to cover the shock in her eyes.“Good day, ma’am”, Emily greeted, with her head lowered to the ground.“You should help your boss clean up this mess”, Barbara instructed, darting her eyes to the egg that was now dripping off Richard’s face, down to the ground.“Yes ma’am, I will”, Emily struggled to reply because her heart was burning in rage.She felt terrible because the entire idea was from her.“Also, you might want to talk to your boss about having another trip, together with you! Because you both stink!” Barbara bellowed out of her lungs, after which she stomped out of the living room.Emily gulped down hard and slowly raised her head to Richard. He looked extremely pitiful, and the dripping egg on his head worsened it.“I’m so sorry”, Emily muttered, with tears welling up in her eyes.“I told you that it was a bad idea”.“It’s a game, Richard. You failed the first level. We would
A wide smile spread across Emily’s lips as she stepped her foot into the large room. She had explored some other rooms in the house, but this wasn’t part of it. “Our room?” Emily scoffed and shook her head unbelievably.“Well, I can’t remember the last time I spent time together with Barbara here. I can imagine how fun it would be to share the room with you”, Richard noted and gestured for her to walk closer to him.Emily swirled around, her heart beating out of her chest and her desire to own a room like that burning in her heart.“The room is pretty nice. I wish I would have one like this for myself in the future”, Emily commented with a bright smile on her lips.“Maybe, you would”.Richard’s response was straight and quite direct. However, it spoke more of uncertainty.“So, would we take a shower together?” Richard asked as he held Emily and walked towards the bathroom.“No!” Emily replied defiantly and yanked her hands off his grip.He glared at her with a mixed expression. She
The car pulled over at the front of a massive shopping mall. Emily made to move out when she felt a grip on her wrist. She quickly shifted her gaze to Richard, who was glaring at her with an unpleasant gaze.“Many people would be here. I can’t do this!” He said defiantly.“You would do it. Trust me”, Emily countered, with her bright smile that made Richard turn mute for a while.“I’m a billionaire. I can’t just walk into the shopping mall with my maid and expect people to keep mute. There are two options here; I either go inside and send everyone out, or I go nowhere”, Richard said in conclusion.Emily took in a deep breath and caressed his hands calmly.“I know you care about your reputation. But trust me as a friend who wants to help you. Just follow my lead and go everything I say. You would see that it would work out well”, Emily said with a reassuring smile.Richard nodded his head in affirmation and walked out of the car.He placed the dark sunshade over his eyes and majesticall
Richard picked out quite a number of things from the female section and finally, Emily nodded her head to indicate that it was okay.He sighed in relief and let out a calm smile, hurriedly making his way out of the mall.“You should get some flowers too and even, scented candles”, Emily suggested and started strolling towards the stall for that.Richard rushed towards her and held her firmly. He pinned her to the wall until his eyes were digging into hers.“You really fancy how much insult I get from Barbara, right?” He barked angrily. “The last time I did that, she called it a waste of time. And then, she smashed an egg on my head as a thank you for what I had done”. Emily closed her eyes as his breath fell directly to her face. She opened them after a while and shifted her eyes to the left.“People are watching, sir”, Emily whispered and immediately, Richard stepped away from her.He picked out a flower and some scented candles just like Emily had ordered and without uttering any m
“What do you have for me this time?” Barbara asked, walking into the house and ignoring the wide smile Richard had on his face.He clenched his fists and walked behind her, grabbing her waist but flinching after getting hit by her.“You called me and said that it was urgent”, Barbara said, and slowly reduced her pace.“And what was that about you going shopping with your maid?” Barbara finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a while.Richard chuckled, trying to lighten the airtight atmosphere.“You would see what that was about in a bit”, Richard said reassuringly, and opened the door that led to Barbara’s room.Barbara shrugged and scoffed, after which she walked into the room, wondering what Richard was up to at the moment.Richard recalled Emily’s last words to him, and he couldn’t help but shake his head in surprise.Emily meant that he should have sex with Barbara. That was one thing he didn’t see happening, even in his imagination.“What is this?” Barbara’s voic
Everywhere was dead silent. The only noise that could be heard was that of Richard and Emily; giggling and savoring each other lips.Emily got hold of Richard and fiercely tore off his clothes. She was done with being the young and innocent girl who always felt that it was wrong being with another woman’s husband.“Emily, how about the third part of the game? You said that I had to do three things to test Barbara”, Richard asked the moment they took a break from their kiss.“It’s void now. She failed the first two woefully and honestly, I’m tired of giving her chances to have you. I want you, Richard. I won’t give her any more chances”, Emily replied, caressing his cheeks and smiling calmly.“Good. I want you too, and I’m glad we can be in this fully. I wouldn’t want conversations of Barbara coming into the picture and ruining our mood”, Richard noted, with Emily nodding her head in understanding.Richard suddenly jerked up and, with Emily in his arms, he walked over to the bed.He th
