Chapter Three

Miesa and her best friend Bethany Williams were in the library reading a story book about Alice in wonderland when a thought came to Bethany. It was recess but they'd chosen to go to the library instead to read.

”Mimi.” Beth called.

”Yes?". Mimi looked up at her.

”Do you think that.. I mean everyone is saying that you look a lot like Mr Sandoval. My mom said so herself. Do you think so too?”. Beth questioned.

”Yes but..my grandpa told me that God created two people alike". Miesa shrugged.

”You really believe that?”. Beth arched an eyebrow.

”I do." She nodded then she grinned. "Considering the fact that Sharon looks like you.” She said teasingly.

”No she doesn’t". Beth disagreed with a frown. "I won’t be caught dead looking like that. She looks like the red queen in Alice."

”Miesa laughed softly and shook her head. “Sharon is not that bad.” She objected.

”And her hair". Beth shuddered. Sharon Cavanaugh was their classmate and the least pretty girl in kindergarten but she was very nice so no one bullied her physically.

”My Mom told me my dad is dead." Miesa said. "Died before I was born but she’s never taken me to his grave even though I beg her to.”

”What if she’s lying?” Beth asked.

”Well I told her I’d never forgive her if I find out that he’s still alive.” Miesa frowned.

”It’ll be nice if your father turns out to be Mr Sandoval right?”. Beth smiled. "You’d be able to travel to a lot of places in his private jet.”

Miesa hoped so too. “I’m not sure my mom would stand a chance with him though.” She made a face. "So it's impossible that he's my father just because I look like him. Your brother Ghale looks like Chris Hemsworth."

 Her mother was a beautiful woman yes but Cesari Sandoval was way out of her league.

”Why do you say that?”. Beth looked shocked.

”Don’t you see the fashionistas he goes out with especially Antoinette Montalvo". Miesa told her. "My mother is not Mr Sandoval’s type.”

********

”You’re totally my type do you know that Ellie?”. Cesar asked Elyon.

”Really?." She arched an eyebrow.

”Yes.” He grinned.

”How so? I don’t see you dating women like me." Elyon gestured to herself. "Plain janes like me. You go for sophisticated rich models like Antoinette Montalvo.”

”I dated someone like you once.” He mused.

”You don’t say.” Her voice dripped with sarcasm. "I doubt you dated her. She was probably a one night stand."

”Yeah but... I would've tried to go out with her more than once if she'd not escaped. I didn't even get her name."

"I bet you didn't like that." Elyon muttered. "You leave women and not the other way around."

Cesar narrowed his eyes at her. "You really do like bringing my ego down several notches don't you?".

"If I flatter you more than all those other women do, your head will grow so big the universe won't be able to contain it." She smirked.

"I want to spank you." He told her. "I'd like to see your gorgeous behind become pink from my hand and then... I think I'd fuck you after but I'd never let you come."

Elyon swallowed and clenched her thighs. She couldn't let him see that his words were affecting her because he'd gloat.

"Turned on?". He asked in a hoarse voice. "I am."

Elyon cleared her throat. "What we have, Cesar is strictly a professional relationship. I'd like it very much if you'd refrain from making suggestive comments like that." She reprimanded him. 

"Where's the fun in having a professional relationship?." He frowned. "Can I tell you a secret?".

"No."

"I've fucked you eight ways to Sunday in my dreams." He informed her and grinned when he saw her reaction to his words. "I've never not been honest with you Ellie."

"I'd rather you keep your honesty to yourself Cesari." She said. "I don't want people to get ideas into their heads about us."

"Tell me one truth." He said.

"No." She deadpanned.

"I insist." He stated.

Elyon blew out her breath. He wouldn't let her leave until she answered him so she had no choice but to tell him. She hoped it wouldn't be a question she couldn't answer though.

"Okay. I don't have any choice." She shrugged.

"Have you ever thought of me the same way I think of you?". He asked.

"I don't understand." She frowned in confusion.

"You know I want to sleep with you and I'm going to." He grinned roguishly. "It's going to happen Ellie."

Elyon rolled her eyes. "What's your question Cesar?".

"Do you want me too? Sexually?". He inquired.

"Who wouldn't?".

"Do you?". He reiterated.

"Yes." She answered. "Every red blooded female wants you Cesar. I'm unfortunately not an exception but... it's not going to happen." She told him. "Not if I can help it."

"Do you want to bet?".

"I'll win so there's no need." She shook her head. "I want you but I can resist you Cesar."

"Now you've really hurt my ego." He pretended to look hurt.

”Do you know her?”. Elyon changed the subject. "I mean when was this?”.

”Six, Seven years ago.” He said dismissively. "Her hair was soft like yours and her skin..." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I’ve got no words to describe her. She was a goddess."

”Wow. Kudos to this great mysterious woman. I mean you’ve never praised any woman with so much reverence". Ellie said. "Good thing you don’t remember her though.”

”Why do you say that?.”

Elyon shrugged. She picked up her planner and checked it. “You have a dinner meeting with Connor Dominguez by 7 this evening. I made a reservation at Fantasies.”

”I really can’t stand that guy". Cesar grumbled. "I hated the way he was eye fucking you two weeks ago.”

”Really? I didn’t notice.” She said.

“Half the guys in this building want to fuck you.” He sounded disgruntled. 

”Stop exaggerating Cesar." Ellie rolled her eyes. "I don’t see myself as anybody’s dream girl.”

”You’re mine.” He said gruffly.

Ellie stared at him wondering if he was serious but she wasn’t sure so she brushed it off and rose. “Need anything? Lunch maybe?”.

”Yeah. I could have you for lunch.” Cesar smiled mischievously.

She sent him a dirty look. “In your dreams Sandoval. I’m going out for an hour. Do not call me.” She warned.

”You know I will.” He sent her a wink.

Ellie said nothing and sashayed out of his office.

”Damn! what I wouldn’t give to tap that.” He mumbled under his breath. "Fucking tease." He let out a sigh and continued his work.
