Chapter 90. The air was filled with laughter and joy that morning, Kathy had just made a joke about her co-worker and I was bent over bawling in humor. "He did that?" I asked after finally collecting myself. She nodded as her face brightened up. "And after that, he went, 'oh sorry, wrong slide' and everyone just started laughing," she said before bursting out into a fit of laughter again. I picked up a set of clothes that lay beside my travel bag and placed them neatly inside the bag. It was time for my two weeks stay with Elliott and as much as I was very excited about it, I hated that I also had to go and give the media something to talk about or else they'd start asking questions. Those nosy pricks. Sometimes I wished to just be with him and not be bothered about anybody else but just us, and I sensed he wished the same. But there was just so much we could get and I was going to grasp it greedily. "I can't believe I'm going to have this place to myself for two weeks, without
Chapter 91.My night with Elliott went by faster than I wished and I was sad to go back but I knew I had to get back to work if I was going to keep everything in order.I walked into my office that morning and decided to stop at the expresso machine for a cup of coffee. I brewed a quick cup and leaned on the cupboard before closing my eyes and inhaling the musky scent of the coffee.I heaved a sigh of contentment before bringing the cul to my lips, this had been a ritual of mine for a couple of weeks and it helped me freshen up for a new day at the agency.I check my wristwatch as I wonder when Myra would be returning, she had told me that she would be coming back to work that day and I was eager to see her and gossip about my getaway with her.It wasn't as though I didn't get along with the rest of the models at the agency, I just felt free and more at ease with Myra. She was always so understanding and could relate to me a lot.I finished up my cup of coffee and walked toward the pr
Chapter 92.Soft rays of aun sip into the bedroom through small spaces in between the blinds and fall softly on my face, my eyes flutter open and I try to move but become cautious of a gentle weight on my lower abdomen.My eyes trail down and I find Elliott's arm cradling me in a warm embrace, I try not to move too much as I look over my shoulder to get a glimpse of him. His eyes were closed and his breathing which fell lightly on my face was steady. I turned back and tried to stealthily get off his bed when his muscles tensed suddenly, holding me in place. I froze in shock at the sudden contact then I felt his body scuttle closer toward me till there wasn't an inch left between us."Can we just stay like this for a little while longer?" He asked softly. I felt blood rush to my cheeks and a warmth coursing slowly through my body at his words. I eased into him and he pulled me deeper into his arms before muttering something I couldn't quite make out.Soon after when I was convinced th
Chapter 93.I woke up beside Elliott again, I turned around to meet him fast asleep, with his back turned to me. I snaked my hands around him and snuggled in closer and allowed his musky scent to fill my senses.He shifted in response and muttered something before sleeping off again. I stayed like that for a few more seconds before I finally pulled away from him and got off the bed.I checked the time on my phone before I stood up and headed for the bathroom, I took a quick bath and ran through my morning facial routine before I headed back to the room.I sat down on the bed and watched as Elliott continued to sleep, I never thought I could be so infatuated with watching someone's chest rise and fall while he lay fast asleep.I got up from the bed and put on my gym wears before I stepped out of the room. My driver waited outside for me as previously scheduled the day before and I greeted him as he opened the car door for me.The ride to the gym was calm and quiet and I decided to call
Chapter 94 Elliot was gone by the time I had woken up. I reached for my phone to check the time when I noticed a new mail, I quickly tapped on the icon and read through the message. It was a request from the agency I'd just worked with concerning a contract for a weekend show they were running. I contemplated whether or not to reply to them and then decided against it. It would be better to let the firm know beforehand. I shook off the fatigue that was weighing me down as u rubbed my eyelids then I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I draped a silk undergarment over my body before heading to the kitchen. The helpers had resumed work and there were a few of them cleaning and arranging as I walked down the stairs. They greeted me warmly and I nodded politely in response. As I reached the kitchen I found the cook chopping vegetables on the kitchen island. I decided to let her do the cooking that mlenkbg since I was still tired and Elliott was not around. I greeted her be
Chapter 95.I woke up once again in Elliott's arms, I had my head on his chest and he had his arm wrapped around his shoulder, I sighed as I wondered if it was going to become a habit.Not that I was complaining.I stayed like that for a little while before lifting myself off him and sitting up, I looked around for my phone as it was not on the bedside table where I usually kept it. I found it under my pillow and picked it up to check the time and for updates.I read through the message from my manager detailing the agreements of the contract and the percentage the firm was taking. It all seemed fair and I checked the time for the show to find that I only had a few hours left.I got off the bed quickly and headed downstairs to give the cook details on what to prepare for breakfast, after coming to a conclusion with her I ran back upstairs to prepare for work.Elliott woke up soon after and joined me to prepare for work, he didn't take much time to freshen up and get dressed and we wer
Chapter 96 My first week with Elliott had come to an end and I had just one week left before I would return to stay with Kathy. As I prepared a smoothie for that morning I made plans for the day. I decided it would be best if I spent quality time with my father as I had only been visiting briefly previously. Elliott came downstairs and kissed me on the cheek before taking a seat at the dining table. "Good morning babe," he greeted. "Good morning," I said as the blender went off and I made to fill two cups with its contents. "So, any plans for today?" He asked as he watched me carefully. I picked up the cups and walked to the table, then I handed him a cup before sitting down with mine. "Well, I'm going to be spending some time with my dad and then maybe head out a little, I'll most likely come back really late," I said. He nodded in understanding as he brought the cup from his lips and placed it on the table. "That's fine, I don't really have much planned today so maybe I'll visit
Chapter 97."So where is this special place we're going?" Kathy asked as she tried on the fiftieth dress. "Honestly, I don't know. I was thinking maybe we'd go to a bowling alley," I said.She gave me a side-eye. "You're still so horrible at planning events aren't you," She said and I scoffed. "How about you come up with something," I said. "Well, there's this new amusement Park that opened and it has a bowling alley in it too for boring people like you," She teased and I rolled my eyes. She picked up her phone and googled the address before handing it to me."Oh, it's not that far from here," I said as I studied the information on the phone. "Where would you be without me huh?" She said and I threw a pillow at her. "At this rate, we're going to spend all day finding what you'll wear," I scolded."Well, some of us don't have a high fashion sense and work in fashion industries so we prefer wearing everything till it looks good," She said defensively and I rolled my eyes.After she had
