“You don't know just how long I've been waiting for you…” Like we had some sort of appointment. What the heck was she doing? The strange girl that Tamika claimed to be her stepsister was sent really weird.I was on the verge of freaking out, as I wondered what the motive behind that sudden show of affection could have been. The way she clung to me was beginning to get quite annoying.“You smell really nice…” that comment had me cringing terribly, and that was my cue to disengage. Immediately. She put her head in my chest, and that hamadee even more uncomfortable as that was something that I hadn't done with any of my exes. “I hope you didn't have any trouble finding this place…” she spoke with an annoying familiarity that was threatening to implicate me before Tamika, even though I had never met her in my entire life. “No… but I'm having trouble with this undue closeness you are trying to initiate. Who are you?” With that I was able to get her off me. I didn't like the look that h
“Aren't you supposed to be working at these hours?” Julia had me feeling quite guilty as I had snuck her into my office, right at the peak of working hours.“Well, I call the shots here, and I decide what is acceptable and what isn't…” I boasted as I was trying to cover up the guilt of having broken office protocol. Forgive me, Dolph, I whispered guiltily to myself.“I see…” she said, with her eyes scouring every detail around the office. “Nice place you've got here. I bet you're home wild l would be much better.”“I hope you get to see it for yourself… real soon,” I said, hoping she would get the subtle invitation I was offering her. “You can have a seat right here.” I pointed to a sofa not too far from where my desk was. “Don't you have work to do?” She asked as she saw me sitting beside her. “It's noon already. I've been struggling to get my mind around something since morning and I just decided to take a break for a couple of minutes.” The excitement I felt around her made me ge
“Well, well…” I sighed to myself as I had decided to leave Dolph all alone with my father as a punishment for having taken the act too far. Though I was grateful for his insistence on having me sir beside him at the table, I still didn't want him taking things to the extreme. But I couldn't deny that I was quite pleased to see Tara nearly losing her composure in front of everyone.Now, I had to go and clean up Dolph's mess, and I had no idea how exactly I was going to do that, given that both of them were my biggest haters.As I got close to the door, my heartbeat accelerated and my breathing became a bit harder to control. I could hear the voices of both of them behind closed doors.Initially, I had thought they were just having a casual conversation through which I would wait before I would try to get a couple of words in. “Calm down, Tara…” Sofia urged her daughter calmly behind the closed doors. “Just stick to the plan.”I could imagine, giving consecutive pats on the back as sh
“We’ll be taking our leave now…” Dolph said, grabbing my hand immediately as there seemed to be a sudden shoot of urgency in his being. “This meeting could be adjourned till I come with my parents.”“Dolph…?” Sofia came along with her ceaseless fake smiles which she never got tired of. “Don't tell me you're leaving already. The meeting just started.”“I apologize but it has ended now. But I promise I'll be back and I'll be back with my parents. That way, we could have even more meaningful conversation.” Dolph's decision to leave the meeting had me more than surprised. My eyes moved to my father who had a disappointed look on his face. It seemed like Dolph had frustrated his efforts in trying to frustrate my marriage to him. It was written all over his face.“It's quite understandable that you might not seem to be having such a good time in your family but then, I promise I'll be back soon when everything is much more stable than it is.” his gaze met that of my father who seemed to be
“How could you do this to me, Amelia?” I stared at her with a fierce indignation that couldn't be explained. The woman whom I had been seeing forever in her eyes was finally showing me that I had been seeing incorrectly at that point.“Really…? Dolph?” She angrily got up from the bed where I had caught her with the last person I had been expecting to see her with. “You deserve way worse than this, Dolph. What the heck are you showing your face here for?”Those words shredded my heart into tiny irreparable pieces that I would spend the rest of my life trying to fix, but to no avail. The heartless look in her eyes was what had me reeling from the pain and the surprise.“You're doing this to me?” I held the ring tightly in my hands as I stared at the man who was hurriedly trying to get dressed. “Phil… I can't believe so could he have sunk this low…” he was supposed to be my business associate but he chest had some other business to take care of. “Too bad, Dolph, but I can't accept that
“Amelia…?”It felt like a grenade had been uncapped and had been thrown into my space and it was only a matter of time before the long-awaited explosion would happen. “Dolph…?” She suddenly put on a smile to replace the look of surprise that had invaded her face when she saw me. “How are you doing?”“What are you doing here?” I couldn't afford her the chance to exchange any pleasantries as I felt like her very presence there was nothing short of toxic and unneeded. “That fact that you've got the guts to show up in my house is quite alarming.”“I apologize for showing up here without notice, but then, Tamika said you were about to head out and that you wouldn't be around to impede our little meeting.” Amelia's words were almost sounding like a foreign language and I was desperately in need of an interpretation.“What? Tamika?” I asked, wondering if there was another person I knew who bore that name. “Now that's a lame excuse for you to show up here. Why in the world would Tamika be—”
“Tamika…” I took his breath away before he could call out my name. My lips came crashing on his as I had been trying to get Amelia mad. But then, I wasn't sure if I was still trying to act or if I was doing something I had always been longing to do.For a moment, I had forgotten that we were somewhere in his living room and that we were in front of Amelia. Why was I enjoying the act so much? And why wasn't he pushing me away like he normally would?The connection of the moment was undeniable, and I didn't want it stopping at any point from there. It was quite a lot for me to handle, as I wasn't sure I had ever felt such a rapturous feeling. My heart felt like it was going to rupture from the immense pleasure that came with the moment. Dolph was doing something that no one had been able to do in a while— leaving Tamika Fisher breathless and thirsting for more.“Uhmm…” Amelia cleared her throat just to let us remember that she was still in the room. But that still wasn't enough to mak
“What did you find out?” I asked as we headed out into the coolness of the evening breeze. The cold breeze was able to slowly dissipate the heat of the passion that took over me when I had held Tamika in my arms a few moments ago.For a moment, I thought I was falling in love all over again. It was such a moment that I wasn't going to forget in a hurry. The thoughts of the way her lips made me feel had me seriously pondering what it would have been like having her do so many other inventive things on my body with those lips.“You seemed to have been having such a good time with your lady back there…” Michael said, with a mischievous smile on his face. “But I still don't get what exactly Amelia was doing in the picture at such a moment.”“That's going to be a conversation for another—”“Now that's the second thing that you're putting away from me today. What happened to the ‘no secrecy’ deal between us?” Michael seemed quite serious for a couple of moments before his face broke into a
