I groaned as I flopped onto my back. My alarm clock was beeping, trying to get my attention. With much effort, I slung my hand down on top of the button, silencing its battle cry. 

I had hoped that yesterday was a nightmare that could have been easily forgotten but, to my dismay, it couldn't have been false. 

After my mini-battle with Gerald, I was so pissed off that I stormed out of the office and went back home. It wasn't until I got a call from Cassie asking for my whereabouts, that I realized I had forgotten to report back to her on how my interrogation with the greedy Monkey went. 

After explaining everything to Cassie and allowing her to let out her blazing fury towards Gerald on the phone, I had hit the bed intending to take a break from the annoying event of the day. But it seemed that my body needed more rest because my alarm was the only thing alerting me that it was a new day already. 

Shaking the memory of the previous day's terrors from my head, I stood up from the bed and padded my way to the kitchen, barefoot. Conveying the fact that an attempt to prepare something to eat would bring about the assembly of the whole of New York's Fire department at my doorstep, I decided to settle for cereals instead. 

Nice choice! 

I brought a bowl down from the top shelf and placed it on the kitchen island. Then I poured some cereal into the bowl and proceeded to get some milk from the refrigerator. I took the milk out, and in the process of closing the door to the refrigerator, something caught my eye. 

I opened the refrigerator widely and noticed that there was a bowl sitting in the centre. It was wedged between the snickers bar and the strawberry vanilla ice cream which I bought some days back at the supermarket. 

Now, that was weird ‘I don't remember placing a bowl in the refrigerator," I muttered to myself 

I brought the bowl out of the refrigerator and stripped the white nylon used to cover its top. 

Lo and behold it was the pancake batter of the previous day. 

My brows formed wrinkles as I tried to remember when I had placed it in the refrigerator. I remember I had a plan of disposing of it after coming back from the office but it must have skipped my mind. 

“Why would I go through the effort of preserving a failed batter?“ I asked no one in particular. 

Not like there was anyone living with me... Right? I wondered as I turned to look around me to see if anybody was watching me. 

What the hell was I thinking? 

Amanda, get yourself together. You probably just don't remember placing the bowl in the refrigerator, I encouraged myself.

“Wait a minute!" I let out, noticing that the batter is all good and way different from what I had done the previous day. 

That's weird! 

Has the Lord of Food forgiven me? Or, does my refrigerator have the power to remedy a failed batter? 

“Argh!“ I grumbled, a puzzled look plastered on my face. I think I'm going to have a migraine if I keep thinking about this, I said to myself. I couldn't come up with any reasonable answer as to how my disastrous pancake batter transformed into a beautiful piece.

What the hell? How did it even get into the refrigerator? 

It was a good question, but since nobody could give me a reasonable answer, I decided to just consider it a favour from above and do justice to it. 

After all, the batter was all good; no point wasting it. Instead, it would have been better to use it to do justice to my rumbling stomach. And so, I brought out a pan from the kitchen counter, turned the stove on and made breakfast. 

I was actually able to make the pancakes! Probably because someone saved me the stress of mixing the batter up. 

Wait a minute!

What if Cassie was the one who helped me in rectifying the errors in the mixture? I recall her saying something about dropping by after she had closed from the office. Silly me! I would be sure to thank her when I get back to work. 

The batter was mixed perfectly well, and my pancakes came out fluffy and gorgeous. I spread some maple syrup on it and filled up a mug with hot coffee, finally taking a seat to eat my amazing breakfast. 

I couldn't even remember the last time I enjoyed having breakfast at home. It is probably because usually it's made up of either cereals, a cup of coffee or a Snickers bar.

Amanda wasn't aware of the watchful eyes of three male adults behind her. Drew, Mason and Calvin, stood in the kitchen a respectful distance away and watched the reactions of the young woman. 

“Nice one, Calvin,“ Mason gave a thumbs up to his younger brother. 

Calvin scrunched up his nose before replying, ‘That wasn't me. I wouldn't settle for a cheap trick like that." 

That brought them to only one conclusion as they both turned towards their elder brother — Drew, who was trying to keep a steel face.

 “What?“ He shouted 

"Nothing," they both responded. But he could see the twinkle in their eyes as they looked at him with mischief. 

“You don't expect me to just sit by and watch the flour go to waste. I had to rectify the errors," Drew blurted out.

"Oh, really?" Mason asked.

"Yes!"

Mason shrugged his shoulders, “Okay, if you say so." 

“At least it did its work of making her confused," Calvin confirmed.

“Yes, if only the effect lasted longer. She is actually making pancakes," Drew grumbled. 

"What do you expect her to make? Waffles?“ Mason asked ironically. 

“Oh, please, shut up," Drew countered as he glided away from the kitchen. He didn't get into an argument with his brothers on why he did what he did.

    “Shit," I muttered under my breath, avoiding eye contact with Leslie. I couldn't believe the kind of shitty luck I had. The very person whom I was trying to avoid, stood before me. There was no way for me to escape so I garnered what was left of my courage to face her. “Hey, Leslie. It's surprising to see you here this early," I said, laughing awkwardly. Leslie gave me a stern look. “Indeed,” She smirked.“Botox bitch," I muttered under my breath. “So, do you need my help with anything?" I asked her. Even though I was late, it was surprising to see her on this floor so early in the morning. There must have been a reason why she had decided to grace us with her unwilling presence. “Well, I needed to check on a particular person to see how far they had gone with the upcoming project. But, imagine my surprise when I found the office empty with neither the assistant nor Editor in sight,“ she said I sighed. “Sorry, I am late. But the reasons are beyond my power. There was nothing I

    His hands held the sides of my head as he began thrusting into my mouth, loud grunts leaving his mouth. His head was tipped backwards in pleasure and his moans were driving me nuts with pleasure. There was a feeling of pride in hearing him express the effect I had on him through his moans. It was fuel for me to do more. I took more of him into my mouth as my hands moved down between my legs to pleasure myself.I could feel he was close to the edge and I rubbed myself quickly, hoping to come along with him. Within seconds, he stiffened and I could feel warm liquid slip into my mouth. My orgasm hit me immediately like a wave and my legs shook with pleasure. I took all of his cum, swallowing them and not letting any slip out of my mouth. “God, you are incredible,“ Drew muttered, watching me swallow his cum. I giggled in response, standing up from my kneeling position. “Come here," he commanded, drawing me close to him. He kissed me deeply and senselessly. “You are going to be the deat

    I ran the water in my bathroom, hoping to take a quick shower before going to work. The coffee had helped in waking my sleepy bones but I still felt weak. If only I could spend the day indoors and not go to work, I thought. But that would never happen. Leslie would see it as an opportunity to chastise me and give me a query. That was something I wasn't interested in. The water heated up and I quickly jumped into the shower. I squeezed a reasonable amount of my shower gel into my hands and applied it to my body. I didn't bother with washing my hair because that would take more of my time which was the opposite of what I wanted to achieve. After applying the shower gel to my body, I ducked my head under the shower to rinse the soap off. The action prompted me to close my eyes to prevent the soapy water from entering them. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and I jumped in shock thinking an intruder had entered my house. I opened my eyes quickly to see who it was, forgetting that I st

    I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. My head felt like there were so many pins attached to it and I couldn't make clear what happened the previous night. I was tired and felt like I had been run over by a truck. Fuck, I am never letting Cassie take me clubbing again. I muttered "I support that idea," Drew chuckled, walking into my room with a cup of coffee. He was shirtless and I got a flashback of what happened the previous night. He had given me the best orgasm of my life and unfortunately I had slept off after it. My body was exhausted. Although the release had helped in calming down the stress hormones raging around me. Drew strolled towards me and handed the coffee to me. I smiled and gladly took it from his hands, muttering a thank you. I blew on the hot coffee and took a sip. God, it was marvelous. I moaned in satisfaction, enjoying how he took great precaution in making it just how I loved it. “God, this is amazing,“ I moaned. Drew chuckled. “Only you think that

    Drew leaned forward slowly, eyeing my lips, seeking permission to ask for more. I didn't deny him. I let him indulge just as I was enjoying the indulgence myself.We connected again and continued kissing on my bed. I slid further into the bed drawing him along with me. The kiss altered from rough to slow and sensual. I had to give him credit for being able to bring me to my knees with a kiss. His hands continued to explore my body. They ran the length of my body, cupping my breast and I ached into him. He dragged his hands down my abdomen, then further down my leg before he slowly slid up my thighs leaving a trail of fire in their path. A pool of wetness gathered between my thighs as I waited in anticipation for his hands to get to their destination. I spread my legs further apart giving him the permission he needed to touch me deeply. I have craved this for so long and it was about to happen. I couldn't help but Iean into his touch. A soft moan escaped me as he sucked on my bottom

    “Damn, your body is a pure work of art," Drew groaned, his hands roaming around my naked flesh. "I could touch it every day without getting satisfied,“ he added, his hands coming up to knead my breasts. Somewhere along the line, our position on the sofa had changed. I was sitting on his lap, my back resting on his hard chest. I could feel the heat radiating from his skin onto mine. I leaned back into him, tilting my head to the side so he could have full access to my body. I was already far gone and there was no way I was going to be listening to any rational thoughts coming from my brain. I was acting plainly on what my body wanted. I needed to be satisfied after being starved of this pleasure for months. I ground myself on him and he placed a hand on my waist to stop me. I made a sound of disappointment, not liking that he had cut my mission short. “Slow down, babe. We will get there. Let me appreciate your body first," he stated. "I dont need any of that. Just touch me," I dem
