That night, Adonis called Mary into his study and informed her that he would be going on a business trip. “Don’t worry, I would be back before you leave”.Mary wished she could tell him to his face that she did not care if he came back of if he decided to leave there forever. “You just have to take good care of my grandmother while I am away, and please do try to understand and bear with her, she is just an old lady”. Mary tried her best to maintain her cool and not to burst out as a result of the anger burning in her heart. “Is that all you have to say” Mary snapped. Adonis quickly raised his head in shock to look at her. “Because I need to get something done for your grandmother, we do not want her lashing out at me again do we?” She added as an after thought, after all he was aware of his grandmother’s over bearing attitude towards her. “It’s fine” he finally said with hoarse voice, “you can go attend to my grandmother”. Mary wondered why he was being so cool wit
Mary sat in the garden staring absent mindedly into space, remembering how she and Adonis had kissed there the other day. ‘That was the good old days’ a dry smile appeared on Mary’s face as she thought about her Emma had pushed her around after she had spilled her chicken soup and broken her ‘most expensive plate’ once again she was glad that she had just three days to spend with the over bearing old woman and her arrogant grandson. That night, Mary got as much sleep as she could get. Emma had told her earlier in the day that she wanted her room fumigated, and she wanted Mary to do it in her words, there were roaches all over the place and they disturb her sleep at night. Mary knew there were no roaches, what she did not know was if Emma had to lie about the roaches being in her room or she actually thought there were roaches there. Whatever it was, Mary knew she had to obey her boss. At least she was still her boss until the next three days. Mary woke up the next morning in
It was just a day to the day Mary was to leave, and she felt exhausted and tire already from Emma’s troubles. Emma had been nothing but mean and inconsiderate to her all the while and she would be more than glad to leave. She had served her coffee that morning but Emma had insisted that she wanted tea instead, Mary had to take the coffee back to the kitchen and made to start preparing Emma’s tea. She finished making the tea and took it to her room but she had already fallen asleep. After deliberating within Hersey for sometime, Mary decided to leave the tea on the bedside table. While she made her way to her room, she felt like she heard someone speak downstairs, it sounded like Adonis. He had so much gotten into her head that she even heard his voice every now and then. She paused when she heard the deep voice again, plus she could now perceive his scent. It was indeed him. Mary’s heart started to beat fast without control, it was as if she had lost all of her sense of
Mary stared at him open mouthed for sometime before opening the door wide enough and stepping aside for him to come in. “Did I disturb your sleep?” He looked around the room as he came in. “I was hardly even asleep” she said dryly. “Mary” he called softly. She turned around to face him. “Are you mad at me?” He queried coming close to her but she stepped aside immediately. “I have no idea what you are talking about” Mary said folding her hands. “Come on, you can’t keep acting do cold towards me”. “I’m not mad okay” she cut him off. “I’m just not feeling to well” she lied. “Oh! I see, I can see you are all set to leave” he said looking at her packed stuff. She nodded. “You are probably so excited to leave, at least you would be free from my grandmother’s troubles” he watched her face intently as he spoke. She shrugged her shoulders but did not give him any reply. “At least go out with me to night, let’s just spend this last night together before you leave, le
“Do you really have to leave” Mary finally raised her head to look at him, his blue eyes looked like it was glistening, and he had such an expression that she could not describe. She slowly nodded and bent her head to face her food again. Adonis lifted her head to look at his face by placing his index finger under her jaw. She got to look into his eyes but could not hold it up. She suddenly started coughing again. Adonis quickly stood up and rushed to her side. “I’m so sorry Mary”. He gently started rubbing her back in order to make her calm down, but his warm fingers running through her bare back seemed to have worsened things. Her whole body was suddenly on fire, she felt her skin tingle with every contact his hand makes with her bare skin. Mary’s breathing suddenly started to facilitate, her heart beat increased by a thousand times. “Are you okay” Adonis asked pulling out the chair beside her to sit close to her and looking straight into her eyes. Mary who
While Mary was trying to recover from the initial shock, Adonis suddenly took her thumb into his mouth and sucked on it for a brief moment. At that moment, Mary felt like she could not take it anymore, her eyes snapped shut and a moan forced it’s way out of her mouth against her will. Adonis lips curled up into a smirk as he eventually let go of her thumb and freed her from the torment of his warm tongue. Mary opened her eyes to look at him, he had a naughty smirk on his face, she immediately felt like he was tormenting her on purpose. In order to finalize his torment on her, Adonis brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. “Do you want to see a movie with me?” He finally asked. “Yes!” Mary screamed In excitement. She did not believe that Adonis would offer to watch a movie with her even though he had told her before that he did not like watching movies. “I have movie tickets saved from earlier” Mary wondered if he had planned this in advance, since he already had
Outside the hall, Mary finally let out a long breath that she did not realize she had been holding until then. It was bright outside the cinema, it was almost as if the moon was in a good mood that night, Mary thought her mood reflected on the moon because she herself was equally in a good mood. She was thrilled and overwhelmed by Adonis niceness that night. She wondered if he was being nice to her because she wanted to quit, as some sort of parting gift maybe. It was until when they got to the car that Mary noticed that Adonis was still holding her hand tenderly, but firmly. She noticed he did not want to let go even after opening the passengers door for her to get in. He suddenly turned her around while still holding her hand and stared into her eyes. Mary held her breath, while her heart beat faster as she looked into the deep blue eyes that now stared at her. His eyes glistened under the moonlight making him even more beautiful than she has ever imagine. “You are beaut
Mary laughed so hard at the joke Adonis told her, she had no idea that he was a good story teller, and a funny one at that. They had finished dancing and had both slumped on the seat in exhaustion, Adonis had just finished telling her a story about a blind drunkard. Mary found the story funny and they both laughed so hard at it. Soon enough, Adonis face changed back to its serious state. “Do you really have to go” he asked her again for the umpteenth time that night. Mary took a sip from her glass, holding it with her two hands and trying to avoid his gaze. “If I beg you to stay would you stay?” He asked again. ‘Beg?’ Mary thought to herself. How could such a powerful person talk about begging her. Mary bit her lips hard, something she often did whenever she was nervous. Adonis somehow found that sexy and inviting. He slowly reached out his hand and caressed her lower lip with his thumb. His was dazzled by how full and succulent it felt on his thumb. Adonis suddenly f
