“After the party. Everyone should stay back and spend the night at the mansion. You can leave after the meeting.”Spend the night?“Okay, Father,” Andy responded and looked at Ava who shrugged. It was okay by the older couple. The Sanchez Ancestral home was where they lived anyway. Lola looked at Noah. The man was staring right back at her, he could sense the reluctance she had against the old man’s sudden announcement.“Grandfather.” Noah abruptly spoke out and pulled the attention of everyone at the table to him.Grandfather Sanchez sighed. Then he put on the most stoic expression that a patriarch of the Sanchez family could summon before looking up at his grandson who he knew was about to make a clashing comment to disregard his instruction. “What is it?.” He asked.“You see... “Noah started. “Lola doesn’t look too well. I’ll have to take her home so she can get some rest. How about we return for the meeting first thing in the morning?.”Lola’s face flushed as she stared down at h
Lola and Noah stood awkwardly in the living room as the door closed behind them. They were still fully dressed in their party wear. “Will go get changed.” Lola hastily said, breaking the quietness in the room. When they had been in the hall with the other people present, it had been easy to face Noah casually, but now, with just him, facing Noah made Lola feel so nervous. She heard no reply from Noah so she moved in the direction of the bedroom door. Lola stopped abruptly when shortly recalled that her clothes had been carted away by the family’s servants to the penthouse when she had moved in with Noah.“Fuck!.. what am I supposed to change into now?.” She murmured to herself. There was probably nothing of hers left in there right now.As if guessing Lola’s thoughts, a deep voice spoke up from behind. “Some of your clothes are still in the closet, check them out, there should be something.. suitable.”“Oh. okay.” “Lola.” Noah suddenly called and Lola stopped. Her right hand was onl
Five cold showers and even more pain.“What the fuck..” Noah groaned as he fell next to Lola on the bed unstable.Despite Rosewood’s chilly weather at this time of the year plus the cold water shower treatment applied on his body barely twenty minutes ago, Noah started to feel his body get hotter and his lower member slowly rose once more.“Mmmm..” The girl on the bed moaned out from her sleep again and Noah’s eyebrows furrowed. Lola had been moaning out quite often and shifting on the bed too frequently in the past hour which was unusual of her. The scent of jasmine in the room got stronger and Noah knew that it was not coming from Lola. Lola’s jasmine scent was subtle and mild but this.. It was simply too strong.At this moment, Noah did not need to be told to know that something was off. And that thing, whatever it was, had something to do with the potent jasmine scent in his room. A scent that was not only affecting him but also, the drunk moaning woman on the bed.At this sudden
“I will take responsibility.”A voice that Lola had come to grow familiar with spoke up from his position on the leather couch. Lola stiffened and held the part of the blanket that covered a generous part of her body closer to herself. She tore her eyes away from the red patch on the bed. From his words, she knew that he must have also seen it. A twenty-two-year-old virgin. What did Noah Sanchez think of her? Pity?. Is that why he offered to take responsibility for her? Did Noah feel pity for her?Ignoring the pain between her legs, she got off the bed wrapped the blanket more tightly about her body, and pretended not to have heard him say a word.Noah held his breath. Lola’s silence was killing him and it made him more anxious than ever. Was she mad at him?.. Of course, she was.He stood up from the cushion, no longer able to sit still, and simply crossed the distance between them. The woman on the bed hurriedly shifted before he could reach her. She took some steps back just before
“I don’t want another contract with you Lola. Let’s do it properly this time, no contracts between us. A sincere relationship...”Noah’s words to her before her departure from the mansion had Lola choking up with tears again in the backseat of the vehicle that Noah had provided to take her back home. “Stop the car,” Lola ordered in a barely audible voice. The vehicle immediately came to a stop and halted at a park close to her apartment. Tony, who she had not seen in a long time was watching her from the passenger’s seat. He sighed and reached over to the back seat of the vehicle, he reached for the Kleenex box and handed it over to the teary woman in the backseat. “The weather is chilly ma’am.” Lola mumbled a grateful ‘thanks’ and accepted the tissue box from him, She wiped her face with some pieces from it and returned the box to its initial position. “I will take a walk from here.” Lola declared and gathered her stuff from the backseat, which included her little purse and a bag
“Miss Sanchez..” the designer’s assistant called with a slight bow and extended Xena’s phone to her once more. “You have another call ma’am.” the young woman said.“Thank you,” Xena said politely and received the phone. She picked up the call on its last ring while the designers worked on fitting the ropes of her corset from behind.“Xena.” Tyler’s voice called out from the other end of the line breathlessly. “Why would you pick the call up and hang up? Are you still mad at me?.”Xena scoffed. “Isn’t it amazing how you only manage to remember me after one whole week mister? What if I was already dead from our little scheme? You deserted me in the wild to suffer and ran home to a loving shelter.” She accused, her voice starting to rise. The designers continued with their work unconcerned with their client’s screaming.Tyler held a hand up to his forehead at the other end, helpless at Xena’s exaggeration of the whole matter while his other hand remained on his car’s wheel. “I’m sorry duc
“Hey, Princess.” Josh’s excited voice called from the other side of the line as the call connected. “Just got back to town. Should be with you in not more than an hour.”“Okay. See you there.” Lola said as the phone beeped. She tucked a falling strand of red hair behind her ear and squatted by the side of her desk. Pulling the drawer open, she took out a familiar golden chain with a ring pendant on it and pushed the drawer back inside.~“Hi, a reservation for Lola Coker please,” Lola said and waited as the restaurant’s attendant checked through the reservation list. It didn’t take long before her reservation was confirmed and he looked up at her again.“This way, miss.” The male attendant ushered with a smile, then he led the way to a table for two at the curve of the room. Lola settled into the comfortable seat, She opened her bag one more time to check for the little pouch containing the pendant and sighed on seeing that it was still very much in place.“Bo!.” A voice scared from
Tyler Harris’ keen eyes were concentrated on Xena’s restless hands as she roamed around his office, talking and lifting random objects from their places while he had no choice but to follow her around.His duty was simple.. to replace all the items she had lifted back to their same position.“Are you even listening to me?.” Xena asked as she replaced the miniature vase she had lifted back on the table and turned to face the man who was no longer contributing to her words.“Huh? Sure I ..am..” Tyler drawled as he shifted the vase to its initial position and turned to face the girl with a smile on his face. “Seriously?.” Xena asked, her eyes squinting as she complained. “You did only half the job yet your mind is somewhere else. Like what could be more important than this right now?.”Tyler sighed and grabbed Xena’s hands before she could reach out for yet another item in his well-arranged office. Then he led the girl to his leather couch and patted on the seat as he settled down beside
