“So that is why you got me coffee,” I remarked with a grin at Seth’s statement that the weather has been cold today. “Is it still... oh, it is already cold,” I said, feeling the coffee in my hand.
“I could get you another one; I didn’t even know the type of coffee you liked, so I got the one I preferred,” Seth said.
“So which did you prefer?”
“Caffe latte; it is written on the body with your name on it, Mrs. Thatcher." Seth rolled out my name with a teasing smile. I was shocked that we both liked the same coffee, but I wasn’t going to tell him that.
"Ah, good thing it is cold then. I would have loved an Americano, but a latte is like my second choice, so I will give you an E for effort,” I said playfully, trying to hide my laugh.
“An E?” Seth stressed out, sounding disappointed, and it was more funnier that way. &l
Michael lifted me and made me sit on his lap as we went back to kissing again. I felt my body igniting those tingly sensations, but it wasn’t long-lasting; it kept coming and going at the same time, maybe because I had grown too tired of the kisses and wanted more from him.Michael slid his hand under my shirt while maintaining eye contact. He unclasped my bra, and I felt my nipple raise with the slight touch of his fingers. Michael took his time watching me plead with my eyes. I was on the verge of taking his hands and just making him grab them.At that same moment, Michael's phone vibrated from his pocket. He took it out, and on seeing the caller, he suddenly became serious. He held my lips to keep silent while he took the call.Whoever it seemed to be more important than me, I grew tired of waiting as I lost momentum and just slid my way out of his laps and sat on the chair. He hung up soon after, and by then I had
A thudding sound was made as I fell to the ground, quickly picking myself up and pressing both legs to stop the heat I felt. There was no one in the room—no Seth, no Michael. Just me.I had a sensual dream and one with Seth.I was going insane at this as I ran to the bathroom to throw cold water on my body, hoping I would wash off those wild thoughts from my mind, but it only made things worse.As I bathed again, I remembered the dream again and began touching myself, thinking of Seth’s face: “You know you want me." Seth’s voice came around me again, and I couldn’t resist biting my lips as I relaxed my back on the wall and began fingering myself, imagining he was the one doing this to me.I continued until I orgasmed, breathing hard as I suddenly had a wave of disgust flush over me.I washed my body as I got out of the shower, wore my robe, and went to the terrace.
I was completely freaking out, having no exact clue how I would be able to manage this at all.Pretend like nothing happened; pretend like nothing happened...He didn't see anything; nothing was seen...You have this Scarlett; all you have to do is summon courage and face him, pretend as if nothing happened, and make him feel guilty for entering your room without permission.Or I thought it would be."Scarlett, I thought you wanted to get Brianna a glass of water?" Vanessa asked as I came down the stairs with a different outfit from what I wore earlier. She noticed and proceeded to ask, "Did something happen? Why did you need an outfit change?"It was as if I had a box of lies stored in my head for urgent need as I replied immediately, "I spilled water on my shirt when I was bringing Brianna's water; I will get it now," I said."That won't be necessary; I already
Night had fallen by the time I woke up. I turned to the side to find Michael resting. I didn’t even notice he had returned from work, and he also didn’t try to wake me up at all; he probably didn’t want to disturb me.“Michael,” I checked from my end if he was fully asleep, and he answered weakly, “Hmm.”Michael sat up as he held my hand. “You finally woke up; I thought you were going to sleep through the next day.""Noooo, I only wanted to rest for a few minutes; I even missed my spa appointment. Are you just returning?” I asked about cleaning my eyes to get rid of my sleepy eyes.“An hour ago, yes,” Michael answered. “I cleared out my desk today at the office."“You did what?!” I sat up, drawing closer to him. I felt a sudden surge of rage overcome me as my forehead furrowed. “What do you mean you cleared out you
I hastily went down the stairs, as Vanessa had come to tell me in the room that Michael had been requesting it for me and that it was urgent. The frown on my face when I realized I had been tricked.“Come here." Michael held my arm and pulled me closer into the circle of conversation going on between him, Seth, Bella, and somewhat Carmela; she was standing around there as well.I froze as I was reminded of that day Seth had seen me like it was yesterday—it was yesterday.“Mrs. That—” I thought I heard Seth almost say before Bella happily jumped in and greeted instead.“Good morning,” I answered, still trying to keep my composure while trying to avoid Seth’s gaze, which I must say was pretty, very hard.Michael went straight to the point, which caught me off-guard, as he said, “My wife and I were thinking of inviting the two of you to our island this
Doctor Benedict took a quick checkup on him and was able to tell us that Leo was completely fine and just needed some rest. He will, of course, stay till he has woken up, but in the mean time, he was absolutely fine.“It is my fault,” I declared as I began crying.“It is not your fault, dear; we were all pushing him too hard." Michael calmed down, but it didn’t help because I cried even more, leaving myself to sit on the couch.I could only of course blame myself; I was the one who called his hobby thrash and should focus more on studying than drawing random characters on his notepad. It is my fault he is this way, and I can only continue to feel bad until he is alright.I am such a bad mother.How can I be angry at my mother for treating me badly when I am just as the same? Leo must have been suffering, and I didn’t just see it; he shouldn’t have to push himself extr
While I stood admiring this young man, his sudden look up to glance at me had made me flinch as I managed to maintain composure. Seth smiled before lowering back to focus on lighting the cigarette."Where you checking me out?” Seth asked as he took a step back; his smile widened even more as he relaxed on the wall.“Why would you think that?” I questioned him as I stood next to him, blowing out the first smoke. "So, when did you start smoking?” I asked about changing the topic.Seth shrugged as if he didn’t want to answer at first. My blank reaction was enough to make him give in. “Two years ago, I tried it three years ago but didn’t like it at first until a year later. Unlike how you would picture me, I only smoke when I am pressured about something."“So you are pressured over something now? Like what?" I asked, showing a bit of concern as I faced him.“Not anymore, now that I have seen you are all right,” Seth answered. His answer didn’t sit right with me because why do I have to be
The island looked so beautiful, the view alone from our villa is breathtaking, and the services offered by the wonderful people here when they received us were just as impressive as I imagined.It felt really nice to just be far away from all of reality and just be here alone with my family for bonding time. Oh, for how long I have always wanted to do this without each trip getting cancelled because of one or so different reasons that may pop up.“I see you can’t stop smiling. It is exactly what you wanted; I did well, didn’t I?” Michael stood in both of our rooms and said,.“It is just as I want; I can wait to put my feet on the warm sand,” I answered, smiling. I don’t know what these two weeks will bring, but I was just as ready and prepared for it.“There will be a dinner later tonight; we can start our experience from there. You think maybe you can wear the red dress I bought?”“Of course, I think I packed that in one of my suitcases. Do Seth and Bella know about dinner? I think t
