Crystal shook her head trying to ignore the dizziness, her vision was blurry and her legs were stumbling, she felt hot and it was as though she would collapse any minute, she stopped and held one of the pillars in the restaurant. Kayden noticed she had slowed down, so he also slowed his pace before he turned back toward her.“Why did you stop?” He asked she held the pillar tighter, she was breathing heavily as she rested her back against the wall. Kayden shook his head, it seemed she was too drunk to walk and this was the reason he had been warning her to slow down earlier, she would proceed to drink more wine after each warning. He strolled back towards her, he slipped his hands in his pocket when he got to her, and he brought his face closer to hers in a teasing manner. “What is it? Do you need help?”“I just need to rest a little bit,” She muttered back, Kayden’s silver eyes fell to her legs which were now visibly shaking, she looked like she was going to fall over any minute.
Akeem held the door for them, as Kayden carried Crystal out of the car, he had wrapped her in his coat because he felt she might feel cold, she slept soundly it’s almost as though she had nothing to worry about. He chuckled to himself, he wondered how she would react when she recalled the kiss in the morning, her hair fell softly over her face and he was tempted to blow it away, he wanted to keep looking at her face.“Welcome home, Mr. Smith…I—“ Petra announced as soon as she opened the door, she trailed off in surprise when her eyes fell inquisitively on Crystal’s sleeping form in Kayden’s arms, and then her tone came back accusingly. “What happened to her? What did you do?”“She is drunk and she fell asleep,” Kayden muttered as he entered the living room. “I am not some kind of a monster, if you don’t believe me you can ask her when she wakes u—“His attention wavered when he spotted the strange figure that was occupying one of his sofas, Kayden’s eyes narrowed, it was as though
Birds were chirping and sunlight streamed into the bedroom from the slightly opened curtains, the golden rays warming Crystal’s face; her eyes twitched, and she groaned out loudly when she felt a sudden ache in her head.“What in God’s name happened?” she muttered as she sat up slowly, she felt sore in her body and she couldn’t even remember how she got home or what she had done the previous night. Just as she was thinking about it, Kayden opened the door and waltzed in, his presence reminding her the events of thof e previous night. He had a firm look on his face, and she couldn’t help but wonder if they fought the previous night, he stopped just inches away from her bed and stared down at her in dissatisfaction.He was like an exhibitionist, hoping to buy a new car, he lightly stroked his jaw as he waited there silently, and she couldn’t help but feel he wanted something.“You are not dressed for work.” He noticed and she stared down at her nightwear, she snickered, that much
“Crystal,” Petra called as she knocked on the door again, she had been following Kayden’s orders to keep an eye on Crystal because she was sick, it was almost noon and Crystal had not yet had her breakfast. Kayden would fire her this time if he got to know. “Crystal!”“Crystal, I need you to come downstairs for breakfast.” She yelled once more, and this time with an unwavering determination, she gripped the doorknob pushing the door open. “Crystal?”“Petra, I am not hungry.” She finally responded from the other end of the room; she stared out of the window as she maintained surveillance of Kayden. “I’m okay.”“You’re not hungry? You need to eat something, especially since you didn’t eat anything last night, did something happen between you and Kayden?” Petra blurted as she approached her, Crystal froze upon hearing the accusations. “He said you are sick but then again he seemed rather lively on his way to work.”“I-I-I don’t know what you are talking about.” Crystal stuttered as she h
“Kayden,” Crystal finally mustered the courage to speak first, he stared back at her blankly, they had been sitting there silently staring at each other. “You promised to answer my questions, yet you have been so silent.”Kayden was such a strange person, she couldn’t help but wonder why he was silent.“Uhm...” He picked a serviette and wiped his mouth; he stared straight ahead of her.“I want to formally apologize to you, for giving you the wrong impression.” She cleared her throat and she met his eyes again, she averted her eyes immediately, heat rising into her cheeks. “I didn’t mean to kiss you; I was drunk and it was an accident.”“I know that,” he confirmed nodding slightly. “But what shall I do with that information?”“Uhm… well, I think because of the kiss you, y-you,” she averted her eyes again and this time she thought it was a good idea to stare at the omelet in the plate. “You got the wrong impression, that I wanted that kind of a relationship from you.”She forced the res
Crystal stretched her back as dropped the pen in her hands, she stared out of the window absentmindedly, she still had mixed feelings about her relationship with Kayden. It made her uncomfortable that he was trying to make a pass at her, and she couldn’t help but be curious about how long he had felt that way towards her.Did he keep those feelings while he was being mean to her? Or did he fall for her along the way, she felt heat rise in her cheeks as she thought about it and she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.She popped open the first two buttons on her shirt, she was getting hot, she picked up some of the overused design paper and fanned herself with it softly, just as she was doing that, she felt the cool air that came from the air conditioner and her questioning blue eyes glance up to Kayden whose eyes were fixed on the report sheet in his hands. She had been wondering why he didn’t turn on the AC today, his office and his bedroom are usually very cold because he always
“If it wasn’t you, then who could have sent them?” She asked curiously and Kayden collected the note in her hands and skimped through the contents of it; one of his eyebrows slanted in disapproval, he couldn’t help but suspect a particular individual.It was probably Sebastian that sent her the chocolate, he might be doing this to annoy the shit out of him but he wouldn’t fall victim to his tricks.He swiftly tore the paper in between his fingers and then snatched the box containing the remaining chocolate from her hands and dumped it in the nearest bin.“You shouldn’t eat things like that.” He scolded with a small frown. “What if it was poisoned?”“I thought they were from you.” She muttered quietly and swiped the rest of the smeared chocolate from her lips, because it appeared as though, Kayden desired to make her vomit the ones she had eaten. She darted her lips to lick off the rest of the chocolate as quickly as possible, she attempted to evade his disturbing gaze but Kayden remai
Crystal glanced up in surprise when she heard two light knocks on the table, she exchanged looks with Kayden before they both turned their attention towards the door. “Come in.” He commanded in a gruff voice almost immediately the door swung open, and Deborah waltzed in, she was holding a bouquet of blood-red roses in her hands. “Deborah, what is it?” Kayden inquired when he noticed the flowers she was holding, he tilted the glasses toward his nose and peered at her from beneath the rim. “Is there an event going on?” The curiosity was evident in his voice as he spoke.“What?” Deborah asked and her gaze shifted to the flowers in her hands, and a small smile graced her lips before she turned towards Crystal, who was also watching her suspiciously. “This is for Mrs. Smith.” Kayden found himself closing his laptop, and his eyebrow arched curiously. “The flowers are from who?” He spoke and Deborah searched through the bouquet and she found a small note attached to it.“Hum… there is
