Miss Ellen Cross kissed me.
On the cheek!
I was dumbfounded!
How could she just do something like that?
I just got back to my senses when the culprit suddenly said -
'You are very interesting Architect East. I look forward to working with you. And please do not mind what I did, I was just testing you. I apologize. See you later', she said while walking out of the director's room.
I looked like I was smited by lightning.
Yes, I did not move, not until she was out of the room.
It's not that I was only petrified about what happened but it puzzled me to the core when she said she just tested me.
Do other people test others by kissing them on their cheek by the time they meet?
And what was she testing me for?
Ugh! this feeling of uncertainty makes me wonder now.
Sigh! I better get out of here and shrug off the unnecessary thoughts.
But this is a very bizzare meeting.
I am not numb or without feelings and honestly, it took me some perseverance to not show any hint of admiration when she was at the close range of my vision and smell.
I would be lying if I will say that she is not beautiful and sexy up close.
She even smelled very refreshing which is way out of my expectations as I imagined her to be heavily using luxury perfumes.
I thought that I have been good at reading people now, especially with my experience working with a lot of people already but I think I still have a lot to learn.
Nonetheless, I am sure that I will be able to read and understand her in no time and all this uncertainty will collapse and be calm again.
Time passed by really fast and two days later, we planned to have our team building ahead of schedule.
So as expected, Team 1 will be led by Architect Ellen Cross and Team 2 will be led by me.
These will be the two teams to pioneer the second branch of the Architecture firm in our city.
It was tasked that our teams are to collaborate on the design of the branch and it would be depending on Architect Ellen's decision if she'll manage the branch or give it to other Team Leads.
I am very excited for this expansion as this will bring a lot of opportunities for me and the people that I know.
It is within my belief that whatever opportunities come our way, let's grab them as fast as we can as long as we find it in ourselves that we are suited for the position.
I also would like to help others go up especially for people who I think are really deserving.
And one good example of this is Dianne.
That's right, I recommended her for the team of Architects under my team for the expansion and not as a secretary but as a fellow architect.
She was really happy about the news and that prompted her to hug me during the time I told her about the good news then she almost cried with joy.
The next day came -
'Hello everyone! My name is Architect Ellen Cross. I will be the Team Leader of Team 1. And as you know, our firm will have a second branch in this city and it also means opportunities to climb up the career ladder. I hereby announce the team members under me that will pioneer the 2nd branch. Once you hear your names, come to my left side.', Ellen spoke with an intermediate and modulated voice.
'Glen, Sofia, Richard, Koon, Mark, Jim, John. You will be the Architects under me and you will each have subteams under you as well. But only the seven of you will go with me tomorrow for a simple team familiarization. Next up, let's welcome Architect Shaun East', she announced.
While Ellen is talking, I was just silently staring at her and kept on asking why she kissed or sized me up last three days ago. Is she messing with me? But we don't have enmity or whatsoever.
But I was awoken from wondering when I heard my name so I hurriedly walked towards the front of the conference hall.
'Hi everyone! It's a good thing that all of us are here during this expansion, and Team Lead Ellen is right, opportunities are coming our way so let's do our best.'
'Here are the people under my Team 2' -
'Drake, Cane, Christine, Roxy, Cha. The same thing, you will each lead a sub team and the five of you will be with us tomorrow for the familiarization and planning.', I announced as calmly as I could.
Right. Initially, Ellen told that there will be three people under me but it was changed at the last second due to last minute promotions.
When I finished speaking my part, I hurriedly went back the the table I was at.
I tried to be calm.
But I can't shake off the guilty feeling.
Dianne! I said that she will be under my team but sadly, she was asked by the director to be her secretary but have the same salary grade of an architect.
I feel bad.
I know how much she liked to work as an architect and it is a false promise on my part that she'll be one.
It is good that she has a salary of an entry level architect but she doesn't work as one yet, it may be just a matter of time but I know it should be her time now.
Sigh! I better talk the director about this or maybe Ellen can do something. -
I thought.
Then I decided to talk to the director first.
I walked my way to the Director's room afterwards.
As I was about the knock at his door, I suddenly heard a noise inside. Something like a book or a pile of papers dropped on the floor.
I was confused as the director is not that type of person to be silly enough and drop his things and he does not bring any book or bunch of papers with him.
So I decided to just be outside as maybe he is talking to another big shot from the headquarters aside from Ellen.
'Director! Please don't. I want to work here but I am not doing this kind of thing!
My ears perked up and my eyes widened.
Dianne! It is her voice! What did she mean? Is she being forcefully coerced into doing something against her will? Is she being sexually harrased?
'Dianne. I know that you like Architect Shaun. But he is already with someone. He is very secretive so you might not know. It would be better for you you be my secretary as I won't treat you wrong. I can give you anything better than Shaun. You've done it with him already right? Even if not, what will happen if his wife or girlfriend hears something of a sexual relationship of you with your boss? Hahaha'
I was taken aback by what the Director said. Is this the catalyst for the changes what will storm my earned steady life?
Things are getting out of hand now.
Is the director such a bad person? I thought highly of him but now, he even lusted for Dianne. How can such a person be in that high position?
I better save Dianne!
Knock Knock Knock
Knock!!!I hurriedly tried opening the door but it was locked.While I was shaking the door with a slightly urgent force, it was suddenly opened from the inside.Thud!Dianne hurriedly went outside the room with her head down looking sad or what and since I am at the entrance, she directly bumped into me.Due to the forward force she unknowingly exerted, I was hit by her head on my center abdomen and I was knocked back then down which later did I notice that she was tripped by my right foot as well.Yes, I was hurt by the impact and it was added by another thud with her smashing on top of me.And like any other romantic movies I saw in the past, something awkward happened.No. We did not accidentally kiss but even worse - I was touching both of her huge racks with both of my hands.I did not know that right away because I have yet to recover from the impact of me falling down on my back.Right when I was about to
Dianne is planning to stay at my place?!!And what is that 'I'm okay if something happened' thing she said? Do I look like I go around having sex with women without remorse?Sigh! I should set her straight and clean this mess up.I planned to decline her but it looking at her pitiful and genuinely terrified look, I decided to let her stay in my room inside the building and I will just sleep on the couch.Yes, regular employees are given personal rooms inside the building.And honestly, I don't have the slightest malice about letting her stay with me. This is a vivid purpose of protecting her from possible harm in the next few days. I should also ask the Director to let Dianne be my assistant again for the time being.So the night came and as expected, it calmly passed.Maybe due to what happened, she was fast asleep in my bed still wearing her work clothes on.Other people might ask why I did not do something to her knowing tha
What is happening?Why is Dianne naked?!!And why was it timed perfectly when I was about to take off my top?I was rooted at my feet and I cannot quite put my thoughts on what to do.While frozen in trance, I can only surmise how beautiful the scenery that I am looking at.Is this the reason why I cannot think clearly?Dianne is a well proportioned woman. I cannot help but admire her figure.Her vital statistics? I do not know any of that but one thing certain is I know that she is sexy, a very striking one.She also has huge racks with pinkish nipples. I can say that I am a man of taste and her chest is what I look for in a woman.Her face is angelic and looks untainted by the works of the worldly touch. She is very pretty in her own way.While I was lost in trance with appreciating the features of the person in front of me, I was struck dumb when I noticed that Dianne is making her way towards me. Albeit slowly
Sob sob sobDianne suddenly cried.I was struck dumb when she had that reaction.I made a lovely lady cry again.Seeing her cry plucked a cord in my heart. It really is an uneasy feeling to see such a human being get hurt.Due to her reaction, the mood was ruined and I think it is the best outcome I can ask for.I hurriedly told her, 'I am really sorry Dianne.''No sir. I should be the one asking for forgiveness0. I am the one who keeps on pushing myself into you. I know now that I really don't have a chance with you. Whoever that woman is that you care for, she is really lucky.', she solemnly replied.Sigh!Such a pure girl.'Thank you for understanding Dianne. It is really hard for me as well. You are very likeable woman but I love someone else. But I know you will find someone that will care for you, and during that time, you will just look back at this moment and laugh at it.', I honestly told.'Un', sh
Touch! Touch! Touch!I was alerted by the soft touches that I suddenly felt.I should be alone in my room but why is someone or something touching me? Am I being haunted?Or am I still asleep?And the terrifying thing is that the soft hand that is touching me is rubbing against my crotch area.I know that this is not a dream. I better get up and see who is this.I hurriedly tried getting up only to open my eyes and feel a splitting headache.I guess I really was wasted last night.The mysterious hand keep on feeling my crotch area but I felt that I still have my underwear on.I got slightly better from the headache and I was shocked to see that the soft and milky hand that I am seeing is from a very stunning lady.Wait! This is Dianne! How did she get here? Why is she here?Ugh! My memory last night is so foggy!Nothing happened between us right?I better ask her why she is with me on the same
I did not reply to her.Or I do not even have the guts to reply to her.I know. Others might say that it is just for a simple meeting but it is more than that.This woman I should be meeting is named Sarah and our relationship is quite complicated.Sigh!I should think things through from now on. But I always do thorough thinking, is it not a good thing to loosen up a bit by drinking?I will think of some things to make it up to her later.I better send her a text.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>'Good Morning babe. I apologize if I hurt you again. I know it is hard for you to trust me fully. But I messed up again this time, I got so drunk last night from out team familiarization and was not able to meet you this morning. Please allow me to make it up to you when I have free time during this company expansion that I t
Dianne and I kissed passionately.It felt like all the suppressed lust and frustration inside me came gushing out like a flood.It was so passionate and aggressive that I can hear the occasional soft moans coming out of her mouth.Hearing that, with her shirt on, my right hand found its way on her left boob and it really felt good. Even my huge hands can't cover everything with my grasp. She really has an ample size of breast.By the way, she is still in her work tops but without the coat.We kissed even more aggressively and I can't help but be more energized.I am not that versed with undressing women but it is surprising that it has flowed smoothly.First, while still kissing, I unbuttoned her shirt and maybe she felt that I want to take it off from her, so she did it herself.Next, I directly slid my right hand below her bra and that prompted her to moan cutely. And maybe she knows that it hinders my hand to fully touch her
Sarah!It really is Sarah!!I almost could not believe it!!In her text message -'This is the last chance I am giving you. I am not sure why I keep in giving you chances. Do not think that I am very captivated with our sex or your face or anything, I just know that you are a good person.' (1)'And with the last love making that we had. I do not know what has gotten into you but you got wild which led me to thinking if you still see me as the same woman in the past. I like you very much you know that. I just can't trust you completely yet because you yourself know what you have done.' (2)'I also feel quite irritable lately. I am so sorry to take it out on you last time. I guess I can wait for us to bond when you have time away from work. See you.' (3)After reading Sarah's text, I felt like floating in the clouds.I did not even remember that I just recently had an intimate thing with Dianne a few s
After leaving my place, the trio went back to the hotel and waited for Dr. Rose.************‘Big Sis. Do you know the aftermath of your selfish action? I specifically told you to not let him see you. I thought that he was living normally in the province with his family but it turns out that he turned out worse. Why did you do it? You have ruined a brilliant man’s life.’‘I am really sorry Rose. I just can’t help myself. I missed him so much. When I contacted him, he told me that he left. I said that I want to see him one last time and he agreed for it to be the last time; not just for me, but for everyone as well.I went back to my house in the province and we met. He felt like a different person during that time but I thought that he was already fine. We spent the night together. He was really sexually aggressive but I let him do anything to me as I have caused him too much pain. It was the least that I could do.Wh
‘I will try to contact the close friends of Architect Shaun and see if they can help. Something must have happened that led him to be this way. His friends are powerful and well connected so we might be able to help him. I will be back in the next few days when I hear from them. I will not disturb him for now as he might go hysterical if I insist on having a conversation.’, Dianne promised my auntie.7 PM of the same day . . .Ring! Ring! Ring!‘Hi, Big Sis Sarah. It has been a long time. I have news about Architect Shaun. He is currently on the Island where both of you grew up. He’s not what he used to be. It’s a long story and we will need professional help.’‘I see. Thank you, Dianne. I will think about it. (Dada!)’‘Oh. Is that little Sharah speaking? How are you little bunny?’‘She’s a bit hungry so I will have to feed her first. Thank you again!’&lsqu
‘Dummy! Come back! I can help you.’ – Rose 4444Rose waited for a reply but nothing came.After my absence, she felt uneasy. Most of her time in the city was always spent at work and with me but that suddenly changed.The next week . . .Ring! Ring! Ring!‘Dr. Rose Mitzva speaking.’‘Hi! This is Blaire of Vans Publishing. We were not able to reach Mr. East for a week now. We called you today because he put your name and contact information for emergency purposes.’‘I see. How would I be of service?’‘We would like to inform him that the book tour for his best-selling novel will commence next week. We understand that he is busy but not returning our calls and texts will affect our plans and possibly his book’s fanbase.’‘I will try to let him know Blaire. He is currently on a writer’s retreat; he might be on to a new book or a sequel of so
‘What’s going on with this guy? He really is bipolar. But what triggered this episode? And how will I be able to calm him down? Seems like a back hug will do, but do I need to do this till morning?’, she asked herself after calming herself from shock.Rose thought of all the possible things to do to calm me down. After an hour of hugging, she felt her arms feeling stiff.She already contemplated my actions and that led her to believe that my current episode is sexual.1 AMShe slowly took her arms off me and observed how I acted.My shivering slowly came back but it did not get violent like before. She wanted to find my blanket to cover her ample breasts but I suddenly faced her and dived my face in between her two soft huge mounds while shivering.After my situating my face, the shivering stopped.‘Wait. This is somehow the same in the situations in his book. Is he re-enacting what happened in the past with hi
‘No worries Big Sis. Please remember what I advised you. Don’t ever let him see you.’Rose’s presence seemed to be a good thing for me as time passed by. It is rather an unworldly feeling to have someone care for you without being romantically involved. She felt like family.Her consultation clinic became a success with a lot of partnerships asking her to open other branches.It is really bizarre since she chose to live next door. I am even inclined to think that some cosmic energy urged the owner of the house beside me to sell it at the last minute when Rose planned to find a home in a different subdivision.Good things keep coming after my suicidal attempt. I thought that living the life of an author will need arduous time and patience before getting recognized but my book turned out to be better than I expected.The rest of my days, weeks, and months were just a cycle of polishing my book writing skills, spending time wit
My fingers caressed the laptop keys in preparation and pressed the letters SEX IS YOU.I smirked when I typed the title.‘’Sex is You’ huh? I am intrigued. I will now leave you be. You can choose to write anywhere that gives you peace and quiet.’, Rose commented when she saw what I typed on the laptop.I did not reply right away as I got lost in the memory where Ellen and I were taking a shower together. In this memory, she was behind me and wanted me to guess what she finger-wrote on my back.Yes. She wrote something on my back right after I asked her why she thinks about me. Her reply was the movements of her fingers that completed the words SEX IS YOU.I suddenly picked up the laptop and did not say anything to Rose.With quick steps, I went inside the room.*********‘I knew it! His problem is more severe than I thought. Hopefully, he will find peace after confronting his past.’, Rose sai
‘Oh, I’m sorry Rose. I was just kidding. I will be in my room answering this one. I will go out once I finish.’, I said while walking towards my room.After answering the questionnaire she gave, I got out of the room and passed the paper to her.‘Rose. I am just curious, am I your sole focus right now? I mean, did Ellen tell you to prioritize my well-being rather than attending to other clients or patients of yours?’‘I know that you will come to ask this. As per my promise of transparency, it is my own decision to focus on your case. Actually, I planned to tell you this in the next few days but I guess I can say it now. I plan to build my clinic in your country. As for the reason why that is, I wanted to make sure that you can consult me anytime.Believe me or not, I find that your problem is way too complicated. The reason why it is hard for me to formulate the therapy is that you are very self-conscious and look norm
‘Subject # 12 – Shaun East – Possible multi-personality > likely – possible bipolar > likely – possible Hypersexual Disorder> very likely – possible borderline personality disorder > likely.’‘Why are you reading that! Give me that!’I got startled when I got shouted at by the always soft Rose. She was like a different person when she got angry.‘I am really sorry Rose. I did not mean to. I only saw the first page, nothing else. Here you go!’, I apologetically said while handing her the notebook.‘I am sorry for my sudden outburst as well. You are my patient and you should not see what I wrote in here. Please go back to your room and rest. I just suddenly remembered that I left the notebook so it’s my fault. I apologize.’, she replied softly.********‘Hi, Big Sister Ellen. This guy is very interesting. You are right, we really are so much a
‘Lastly, you mentioned that there were 6 women who made a significant influence in your life namely: Ellen, Alesandra, Sarah, Flor, Dianne, and Lynn; if all things are in perfect circumstance, who would you choose to spend your life with?’, Rose asked.I got lost when I thought about the answer. All of these women brought different colors to my life.‘I can’t give you a definite answer. They are all very different. But one thing in common is that they left me.’‘Thank you for answering honestly Shaun. For now, just relax and I will contact Vulcan to arrange things pertaining to your work. As we agreed on, you will be with me for a month for observation and therapy.’. she said monotonously.‘Is it really okay if I stay at your house? I mean, I can be in a hotel for the duration of the therapy. Do you really think that Reid will still be threatened by a loser like me?’‘People are complex be
