CHAPTER 69
GLENNHaving him so close to me at this moment sent nerves racing deep in my soul. I could feel my heart beating heavily filling me up with ecstasy.Each moment, felt like something I wanted till eternity—The slight touches, the glances, the smiles… I could feel every bit of it like a shadow hovering over my own soul.We pushed the door open and stepped into my four wall room."This is where I stay." I muttered.He stared around the room for a minute, from the fading walls, to the stained wallpapers just across the room."Not bad." He muttered before stepping into the room.I Stepped past him as fast as I could, picking up a dress that had fallen on the ground and hiding it behind my back.He left me with no sane mind, as I kept reflecting on how impossible it was to have him standing right before me in flesh.The more I thought about it, the more impossible the entire situation seemed . It looked to me like I was in a sort of dream, but it was so surreal.He was right there, so close that all I had to do was merely reach out to him and feel."Give me a few minutes, I need to go—" I couldn't bring myself to say the rest of the words as I soon disappeared through the bedroom door.When I returned to where he was, he had in his hand a book, his thumb came up to run across his jaw as he stood flipping through the pages. I stood there at the doorway admiring him, adoring the moment.I had to tell myself he was the most beautiful human I had ever seen, both physically down to his soul."You read erotical's?" I asked, catching him unaware.He was startled and dropped the book in the process as he turned to look in my direction. I couldn't help but be drawn into the core of his eyes wondering how many women he had slayed by just looking in their eyes."Didn't know you were there, when did you get back?" He asked.I took it as him refusing to answer the question and walked toward him gingerly..The spark, the chemistry before us two… fuck!My mind was filled with diverse thoughts as he took a small step forward and covered the space between us.Like a magnetic field of differ poles, I took one toward him—He dropped his hand to his side, as he did I could feel myself swallowing a lump of whatever emotions I had in my throat."This is a nice book." By the time I reached him he had picked up the fallen book and was going through the pages again.I could feel the heat coming from us two, I could feel the slickness that was dripping down my two thighs that was so in need of his warmth and touch."Yeah, just for it from the library." I played with the front of the book with my fingers by tracing them over the front page wishing it was his chest.The next minute our hands touched, I could feel a force jolt through me. He was fire and I was perhaps ice.Still we formed a coexistence beyond our elements as I wanted him the way he had never wanted anyone.When I looked into life in his eyes after the moment had passed, I could still see thatdistinct feeling that was there in an aftermath of the stronger feeling that already was“Thought you are the type that would go for paranormal or scifi ". I muttered hoping that it would bring some calm to the already charged up atmosphere."You must really think I am kind of a boring asshole. "" No way, why would I think that of you." I asked, pointing to my chest." I don't know, I just think that is how you see me."I couldn't help thinking —Was he just trying to get into my head, what was he fucking doing looking at me that way— As the thought race through my mindI didn't know what came over me, but I suddenly felt like leaning in for a kiss.I just wanted to take it into my and feel it for the first time between the cleft of mine—maybe because he was standing so close, so closer than any other male figure in my life. "Whatever reason it was for this burst of emotions I thought it was best we kept it at check, it was the only way any of us could stay sane and not do what we'd regret.He was expecting a child with another woman anyways.There is no way, I would stoop so low and look cheap, I was battling within myself , for some inexplicable reason I didn't know I felt stopping this now would be perfect for both of us—"Glad I got my memory."Yeah, glad for that too… I thought to myself.“Well, all of this is just happening too fast, what else do you remember? " I asked." You, the car— " He paused for a minute and shut his eyes. " Martha. "The moment he called her name, I felt this sharp pain in my chest."I am sorry, maybe I shouldn't have called her name."" What gentle man apologizes for calling the name of his lover. "“Sounds like someone is acting all jealous again." He drew."I am not jealous. " I said stubbornly." And she is not my lover, I can't even explain her pregnancy."" Well, I don't know. " I turned and looked at my toes as an odd thumping began in my chest.He took a step forward, and this time I felt his hand on my chin."Why did you run Glenn, you should have given me a chance at explaining.""I don't know, I was… I was. " My voice trembled and slowly I could feel the rest of my body emit that same energy."You talk too much." He leaned in as if to kiss me as I felt time stand … StillBu-bumMy heart ricocheted.CHAPTER 70GLENNIT Was a kiss that sent nerves racing down my spine. I had always thought of how it felt to kiss this man, my mind had always thought of everything intertwined into the moment of passion and heartful bliss at the moment I would say it felt like heaven.His lips on mine were the most beautiful things I could ever think of, it filled me up differently than anyone had ever made me feel.How else do I repay this?My heart ricocheted, there was this fear that I might be too frail to match the energy in this one kiss.It left a feeling of lust turned to passion in my soul, one that spread through my blood like poison, like a venom looking for a way to drag me into the hell of his lovemaking.I could feel it as it creeped over till my own felt like it was beyond my own control, I would have stopped to think about the situation to know if it was really what I wanted, but at the moment there was nothing to think about, just pure lust.Just pure lust enough to destroy both he
CHAPTER 71SANTIAGOWe were past the safety zone, at this moment there was nothing we could do to stop the moment. It had been pending, that promise of blissful romance had been hovering in the air all this while and now that it was here there wasn't just that could be done to stop ourselves.The moment I had kissed her, I had meant every part of it, I had meant to bring it this far to let her into me and show her things that should and shouldn't.Her lips were everything that I had thought, completely perfect, and the feelings it left behind? The feelings were inexpressible.Immediately I sat her on her bed and her gaze came to mine, I stared deeply into her and was overwhelmed about her beauty. She was so pretty that it hurt, my heart quaked heavily merely looking at her."You are beautiful." The words fell out of my lips like a forced whisper.I could feel the wave of energy in my voiceas I said those words. “Really? You mean or you are just saying it to fuck me."I chuckled at he
GLENNI woke up with him right there in my arms, for a minute I thought perhaps it had all been a dream and I was just part of its plot.With my eyes fluttering to life I saw clearer than this, it all started from the fact that his manly scent filled the room.I could still smell him, the scent Cologne, the sounds of his soft breathing. All this turned a side of her alive.He was right there still with his eyes closed, having the most peaceful sleep.He turned but didn't wake, tossing around on the bed as I looked at him, all I saw was beauty lying in the soul of a man, he was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen.His heart heaved slowly as he smiled and stirred in his sleep, as he did I let out a sigh of my own, the only difference was that mine was as a result of my frustrations.Beautiful things can be deadly too…The sudden realization of that sent a wave in me as shivers ran down my spine.I might not be the brightest in the world when it came to quick thinking , but I
CHAPTER 73GLENNThe car came to a stop in front of the mall."We are here," Santiago announced."I can see that," I replied with a smile.And then we gave each other one of those fond sidelong looks we had been exchanging during the drive here.Santiago got down, opened the door for me, and together we walked towards the mall's entrance. In my head, I was going through the tasks I would have to carry out at work today.I nodded and smiled somewhat absentmindedly at some people who passed me, whose faces were vaguely familiar.I became aware at some point that Santiago had stopped walking. I stopped abruptly, turned to face him and saw him staring at something in front of us.I followed the direction of his gaze and saw that Martha stood a little to the side of the mall's entrance. I gaped at her.What could she possibly be doing here, at this time? It looked like she had been there waiting for us for some time, because when she noticed we had seen her, she picked up her bag from the
CHAPTER 74GLENNI recalled what Martha had said to me this morning as I looked at the message again.Watch your back.You will regret what you did.They were threatening statements no doubt. I shivered."Hey. Are you okay?" Ann tapped me on the back and I turned to face her. She did a double take at the sight of my face."Whoa. You look pale... and more worried. What just happened?" She looked from me to my phone. "The message you just received?" I nodded. "What does it say?"For an answer, I slid the phone across to her.Her brow furrowed as she read the message out loud. "You will regret what you did. Hmm. This is from an unknown number. It sounds like a threat of some sort and... what did you do anyway?"I sighed. "I don't know... or maybe I do.""That's very cryptic. We were talking about you and Santiago, but I think I want to hear this first. What is going on?""I think what happened between Santiago and I is connected to this. So, Santiago dropped me off here, and guess who wa
CHAPTER 75SANTIAGOWhen my phone rang, I could read interest in Martha's eyes. I glanced at the phone and saw that it was Glenn calling. Martha began to sidle up to me, craning her neck a little in order to see who was calling. I walked a few paces away from her and answered the call."Hello? Santiago?"I frowned. There was a note of worry in Glenn's voice and I wondered if she was still worried or concerned about Martha's earlier attitude. I was about to reply when I noticed Martha looking around, but slowly moving, every step bringing her closer to me."Hang on a sec," I told Glenn.I glared at Martha and walked far away from her, giving her space of a few metres."Glenn? Are you still there?" I asked."Yes.""Okay. Hi. How are you? You sound worried. Is everything okay?""I am worried.""Why? If it's because of what happened earlier, you have nothing to worry about. I will handle-""-It's something else. I received a threat this morning. So, shortly after you dropped me off, I wa
CHAPTER 76SANTIAGOMartha sidled up to me. When it became clear that the men had been waiting for us, I met them halfway.When I was up close, I could see that there was something dark and secretive about these men. Perhaps it was in the way they moved lithely, like cats, or the way the shorter of the men kept looking this way and that, as though keeping an eye out for trouble."Mr Santiago?" said the taller of the men. He turned slowly to Martha. "Martha?""Yes," I replied. "I am Santiago. She is Martha, and you are...""Agents from the company you are making plans to work with," the man replied."Oh.""There is something very important that the company has to discuss with you."I sighed. This was the last thing I wanted at the moment. The confrontation with Glenn, Martha's claims, and now this! They were all coming so fast on the heels of one another that it was exhausting."I'm sorry, gentlemen, but whatever it is we have to discuss will have to wait." I pointed to the elevator. "
CHAPTER 77GLENNImmediately I got off the call I was having with Santi, I was faced with a scornful look from Ann.Immediately her gaze came to me. It was filled with every emotion that had concern and worry smeared over it. I was still a bit cautious about how to use my word's.A shiver danced across my spine, and before I knew what I was doing my heartbeat let out a sound loud enough, so loud enough that it echoed through the room.She walked toward where I was, covering the rest of the spaces, I didn’t expect as her hands felt warm upon my chin giving me a questioning look."Are you about to cry?"I slapped her hands away. "Of course not."Her face still rested on me not departing—"What?" I rolled my eyes asking."I should be asking that same question."All of a sudden, I could feel that spite that came from deep inside of me. I didn't know who it was directed at but it was there the dark feeling that couldn't be justified in any way.Some part of me was refusing to accept the f
