“I will see you later gentlemen” he waved his visitors off and they nodded in response when he entered his office I looked to the secretary for a go-ahead to enter the office.
“You may go in”
“Thank you” I got up and walked to the door, I knocked lowly
“Lucy I don’t want any disturbance right now” he called out from inside. My name wasn’t Lucy so I entered the office anyway.
“Hey” I smiled and he looked up. He was wearing glasses black thick-rimmed glasses, that was something I didn’t see coming, I held back my urge to burst out in laughter, he smiled softly and pulled off the glasses
“Siobhan, I was not expecting you, ware you here?”
“You like a bug,” I remarked
“Very funny”
“But a smart-looking bug” I sat on the table and smiled when I dropped the bag on the table
“What’s that?”
“I uh, thought maybe you would be hungry, so I bought you lunch and your black card, thank you” I dropped it on the table and pushed it to him.
“Lunch, that’s very nice of you thank you” he took the bag from me and opened it up, “a burger, well...”
“Are you watching your weight, or something or maybe you are on a strict diet”
“None of those things, it’s just that there’s one burger”
“So?”
“Are you not going to eat with me?” he asked turning off his laptop
“Uh no I already ate”
“We will share mine”
“I really should not” I protested but he was already tearing the burger in half
“I feel like this is going to be the messiest thing I ever do”
“Yup” I replied then he handed half of the burger to me with a paper napkin “thank you”
“You are welcome” he bit into his burger “yeah that’s it, I haven’t had a burger in so long” I leaned back and watched him eat while eating my share, I wondered how half the burger was going to satisfy someone as big as he was. “here” he gave me the sprite
“Stop it”
“What?”
“Nobody is a gentleman all the time, I bought it for with your money but still for you”
“I am glad you think I am a gentleman” he smiled, he had a beautiful smile he had dimples and the smile seemed to reach his eyes all the time. “I want you to have it,” he said then sighed. Tyler picked a clean paper napkin then proceeded to wipe the burger grease of his hand before opening the drink and taking a huge swig out of it. “happy?”
“Uh”
“I drank it, now I am full have it”
“I will only take it if you drink it to half,” I said, he put his lips on the bottle and drank out of it again
“Meta” he gave it to me and I drank it (half)
“Siobhan thank you for lunch, I have a meeting very soon”
“Okay, I will go”
“You make it sound like I am chasing you away” I got up
“Aren’t you?”
“I am not” he got up with me “let me escort you to the door”
“I got up here I can get down”
“But it is only the most gentlemanly thing for me to do” he opened the door “after you”
************************************
“Siobhan; Siobhan” Tyler bumped into me
“Why are you yelling?”
“I have an important client in the car right now”
“Why are you telling me this”
“Because he came all the way from Spain his name is Ricardo Rodiguez and he is staying with us for a few days I would like you to put on the best fake wife façade you have ever put on do you hear me” he put his hands on my cheek and put his forehead on mine
“What are you doing?”
“Will you do it?”
“Yeah, but you are invading my personal space”
“I am very sorry” he pulled away from me, just on cue a Spanish looking man walked into the house, and one of Tyler’s drivers was bringing his luggage in.
“Lo Siento Sr. Rodriguez, por hacerte esperar, Esta es mi esposa Siobhan Douglas” (I am sorry, for keeping you waiting, this is my wife Siobhan Douglas)
“Encantada de conocerte” I am Spanish so... ( nice to meet you)
“El placer es todo mío” (the pleasure is all mine) I outstretched my hand and shook him, it was weird how he held on to it for a long time and he had this look in his eyes but then it was gone as soon as it came “Uh Tyler why don’t you two get a seat I will get you something to drink” I patted Tyler’s back softly with my palm.
“What about Catalina”
“She is no longer a live-in remember”
“Oh that’s true” he replied ”De esta manera Sr. Rodríguez” (right this way Mr. Rodriguez)
I went to the kitchen then put ice in two glasses then scotch, I placed it on the tray then took it out to them
***************************
“si necesitas algo no dudes en llamarme” (If you need anything don’t hesitate to call upon me)
"Te sostendré" (I will hold you to it). I closed the door of Ricardo's bedroom then walked to the west wing where Tyler's room was
"Do we need to sleep in this room together?" I asked Tyler
"Yes Siobhan, we don't want to raise any suspicion, Ricardo is known for his... well snoopiness and he is probably listening in to this conversation right now, please bear with me"
"I didn't know you could speak Spanish"
"You didn't know my father is from Spain, what a bad godson you are"
"I know he is from Spain, I just didn't know you could speak the language"
"What about you, aren't you Italian" I sat on his bed, it was hard, too hard for someone of his attitude, I expected he would have a softer bed.
"I learned it at the university, can't be a good businessman if you can't speak a few languages" he started taking off his shirt, I was drawn to the ripples on his abdomen, the tiny shade of chest hair and his v-line. I just wanted to run my fingers up and down them, in slow motion. He was in every bit created by God, carefully he probably took a lot of time to mold too, how else would he have such a chiseled sharp jawline
"Do you see anything you like" definitely "you are staring dear annd drooling too"
"I am not drooling" I touched my lips to make sure I wan't "I am not" he laughed, and I chuckled crying insida, he caught me staring at his body "I have seen better abs"
“No, you haven’t”
“Yes I have the ones on my former bedroom walls are better than yours”
“I don’t know” He dragged on then started unbuckling his belt, the sound of leather dragging through iron shocked me slightly. OH MY LORD
“What are you doing?”
“Undressing, giving you a show"
"Dinner is ready,"
"But I have to please you first right" he pulled out his belt and unbuttoned his pant, I wonder why I am still watching his lower waist area, I was waiting for what would happen, that's why.
“I love that you are still here" he pulled his trousers down "won't you leave?"
"I have seen a penis before Tyler, you are nothing too special" oh he was special, I could see the outline of him through his black boxer briefs, he was big and he filled his underwear perfectly
“Suit yourself then” Tyler hooked his fingers at the waistband of his Calvin Klein boxers and started to pull it down slowly.
"What's wrong are you afraid" maybe I shouldn't taunt him like this "I am joking, I will leave" he laughed
`“Sra. Douglas, estas son las enchiladas más deliciosas que he probado en mucho tiempo, como solía hacer mi madre,” Ricardo said and I smiled(Mrs. Douglas, this is the most delicious enchiladas I have tasted in a long time just like mother used to make)“Gracias” I replied(thank you)“¿Qué pasa con los términos
I stood in the kitchen taking the morning air through my nostrils, I hadn’t expected to stay when I found out Tyler was sleeping beside me with his arms around me but I did, I might have snuggled closer to him which was something I wanted to stop doing, no matter how nice it felt, I couldn’t like him, I hated him and I must hate him“Good morning Mrs. Douglas” Catalina dropped her things on the island table and smiled at me, I smiled back and blew away the smoke floating at the top of my coffee mug.
“When I saw his wine cellar, I knew looking for the vinegar was going to be the hardest thing I ever do. I finally found it, I used it to make fruit chutney, then I used that to season some chicken.I was making some sauce when someone traced their hand up my bare thigh, to say I was frightened would be an understatement.“Hola” What now, if I had a pot of boiling water beside me I w
Two months later."Hey, can I go for a run with you?" I asked Tyler, he jumped slightly"Where the fuck did you come from?""Spain"
“Hey dad” I frowned and walked to him, he wanted to hug me but I pulled away from him.“Are you still angry at me for marrying you off” he asked, looking hurt that I refused to hug him why he knew the obvious answer, even though Tyler and I were friends I couldn’t forgive any of them for putting my life on hold the way they did, he knew I wouldn't answer so he skipped to the next question“Darling how are you today?”
I don't know why I was sitting on Tyler's bed, but I knew my heart was pounding, I was just wondering what in the world that man was cooking for me in his head. Along the line, I think I started putting Catalina's suggestion into consideration, but then he would think that was a green card and he would take it too far thereby leaving me broken inside. Tyler's door opened and on reflex, I jumped off his bed then landed accurately in his front."Hey, you are back from work," I said and he raised his eyebrow at me, clearly confused, I was in the guy's bedroom, he was bound to be weirded o
“Catalina, I will be the most honest with you, I don’t know how to plan a party, even if it meant my life, I would fumble,” I said leaning over the kitchen island.“That’s okay, I will handle everything, all you have to do is invite Mr. Douglas’s friends” Catalina replied.“That I can do” That I cannot do, I don’t have access to his friends,
I never thought I would succeed in getting so drunk, I was not really thinking straight so I decided for my own safety I would go and sit by myself and sober up. I was wondering where Tyler was, I hadn’t seen him since the party started and I didn’t even know why I was as concerned as I was. I was murmuring the lyrics to the song that was playing.“Siobhan,” Tyler said and I turned around “what are you doing?”
“Three years later“What?! I’m sorry, Tyler’s dead to me”“I mean, he apologized and he is still here and has been celibate for
Three months later“I didn't celebrate Christmas, or New Year's I was sniffing your clothes, maybe I did, I wanted us to spend it together... Hey baby, how are you doing today, I bought you a new scarf cos you look cold. I miss you and I'm sorry.... your nephew Gabriel looks like you and Sidney in a way you have to wake up to meet him, he is dying to meet you, of
TYLER'S POVEveryone wants to ride with me, they want to make sure I stay alive so they can pummel me to death, they want me to feel it. My mum's there too she says I would want to overdose and kill myself, I was going to do that, OD and crash make sure to stay alive so the medicine can slowly kill me.
“Does she make you moan like this Tyler? Eliza I mean, does she rock her body on your dick, hmm? She makes you feel good doesn’t she, she is an angel a sexy fucking angel. That loves you huh?” I am still rocking him “I am stupid right?” he opens his eyes, but I can tell, he is enjoying this. I’m not. I got off from him.“Siobhan?” Tyler said and held my hand but I pulled it away
Someone is going to want to kill Tyler for this one...I walked into the kitchen, Catalina wasn't there but her bag was. I opened the refrigerator and pulled out a can of coke. I leaned on the island table when I opened it.There was a tiny bottle sticking out of Catalina's back, it looked li
TYLER’S POVI mean someone would have told me Siobhan had allergies, she would have told me she had allergies, the waiter should have asked ‘any allergies’ when we told him to make our dinner a surprise, then she would have said ‘yes I am allergic to snails’ and I would say ‘I am allergic to strawberries, but it’s cool I sometimes love things that are bad for me’
SIOBHAN’S POV“Siobhan” Tyler said as soon as we entered the car“Yes”
I walked into the kitchen when I saw Rafael sitting there drinking coffee and spun on my heels “Good morning” Bloody hell.“Good morning, Rafael,” I said without looking at him“Siobhan happy birthday,” Rafael said, I looked at him. He was smiling tightly
I frowned when Tyler lied down on the bed beside me, what the hell is wrong with this man, first he is giving me the best... whatever they call that, then he is all moody. Jesus."Not so holy are we now""I almost forgot you were doing that to refresh my sinning,
