Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Two days later on the beautiful night Charles took Aliza to dinner in one the best fancy restaurants in the city that he owned and proposed to her with a beautiful diamond ring. Aliza was bolted out of the blue. Her life turned into a fairy tale with the advent of Charles Rodriguez and she couldn't ask God more, staring at the beautiful piece of jewelry. With tearing eyes Aliza accepted the proposal of Charles and felt her to be one of the luckiest girls in the world.

That night Aliza did not sleep in her quarter. She slept beside Charles in his bedroom. Moans released repeatedly as Charles smooched her with fervency. He tilted her head for a better axis and deepened the kiss exploring every corner of her mouth. Slowly she followed his movements and their kiss became more intense, filled with desire and passion. Crawling down his hands Charles explored every sensual curve of Aliza with his vociferous arms. His hands traced her buttocks circling them followed with a squeeze. "Mmm" another moan escaped from Aliza. In the presence of moonlight and the midst of nature, they indulged in a hot make-out session in the balcony attached to Charles's bedroom.

It was nine in the morning and it was a Saturday. Aliza was still enveloped like a creeper in the arms of Charles. He pressed his lips on hers to wake her up from the sleep. "Mmm" Aliza moaned with delight with her eyes still closed in drowsiness. It was a smooch of care, belonging and most importantly possessiveness. After a few minutes he pulls a little apart and asks her in a snicker.  "Do you have any plans of getting up, my sweet munchkin? Charles forced Aliza to sit and pulled her to his lap. He ran kisses from her cheeks, chin and throat reaching her breast bone hungry, chivalrous and in passion.

Aliza couldn't rescue herself from the seductive kisses of Charles. His name escaped her in moans like rain which in turn stimulated their make out session. He squeezed her breast and ripped her top when there was a knock at the entrance followed by the direct opening of the door and the person they saw at the ingress got both of them lose breath out of their lungs.

"Mom" Charles called his mother in utter shock. Arianna diverted her eyes to the floor. "I'm sorry, I thought my son was single and I need not knock at the door while entering his room but I guess I should have thought a bit more deeper when he brought Ms Stelwart to Edith's marriage." She snickers to Charles and immediately closes the door.

Charles ran a series of profanities in his breath running his hands through his hair. After both of them looked presentable, Aliza opened the door and was about to sneak out of the house from the back side door of the kitchen but Arianna's cheery voice stopped her. "Finally I see my son settled in a capable woman's care." She then looked at Charles. "I was passing this way, so I thought I would better inform you in person than call you. Guess I did it right." She mocks in an arresting smile staring at Aliza top to toe in admiration.

"This weekend we are organizing a family dinner at the house. Edith along with husband and kids, Henry will also be joining. I think it is time for you too to introduce Ms Stelwart to the family, Charles." Arianna suggested. Charles looked down at his mother in seriousness but with a firm nod. "Ms Stelwart, please do join us on Friday evening." Arianna invited Aliza and kissed her cheek. "Sure mam." Ari waved her hand in dismissal. "I do not think there is a requirement of formalities anymore between you and me. You can call me Ari and I would call you Aliza. Isn't it good Charles?"  She tried to pull the leg of her son in a mockery but Charles was always the staid faced man. "I will bring her for the weekend, mom."

Charles made her feel hot every day with his salacious kisses and fondling movements but they didn't do the actual deed as yet. As the months progressed grave questions crossed Aliza's mind.  She knew Charles wouldn't touch her without a promise of a commitment. But now they are engaged. What is preventing him from touching her?  Was she manipulated in this whole deal with a hidden motive and the most appealing occurrence strikes her head. It was an example.

In the two years Aliza worked for Charles she did not hear or see a woman enter his office with lust filled motives. There is no newspaper till date which describes him as a Lothario or a skirt chaser though he had explained to her in her work nature that she was supposed to send gold bracelets to his girlfriends after breaking the relationship. Today she had declared to herself to find out the actual reason behind his reservation.

At that time she had no doubt in fact she was happy to enjoy being no jealous fiancee of Charles Rodriguez unlike other girlfriends of billionaires. But now as she analyzed the point trembles shot from her heels to her head.

Is he a gay?

******

Aliza was setting all the files she had finished working to the right side corner of her desk so that she could approach Charles soon after he came to his desk. He was busy in a meeting for the last hour. He would arrive soon and immediately ask her for the coffee. Sometimes Charles is like a child. He wants new designs on his coffee every day. Aliza recalled their conversation a few months ago and laughed aloud.

Aliza wasn't able to sleep the night. Today she wanted to craft two birds making love on a branch of a tree, an indirect way of suggesting to him to proceed further in their relationship. A plan strikes her and she is determined to achieve her goal. They often kissed and the kisses were always passionate, intense and filled with desire. Everyday she was engulfed in wet dreams of Charles making love to her. She was waiting for the day when her dreams will turn true. Her Apollo was a man who respects women.

After work Aliza walks to a bar. She never touched alcohol till date but having a peg or two doesn't do much damage and it was necessary to ask Charles about his true nature. For the last two days she had been trying but Aliza couldn't boost up her courage to question him on the unquestionable.

*****

The next morning she opens her eyes in a cozy bed covered in white linens. She could smell Charles' scent all around her. Did she accomplish her deed? Her naughty mind questions her and she bites her lip to arrest the smile. Immediately her system goes to an alert as she notices an angry Charles typing something on his laptop. Her heart skipped a beat in trepid staring at his pernicious aura at the same time Jim jams crawled her nerves looking at his sexy figure. How can a person experience two opposite feelings at the same time?

He was looking so hot with a black cotton shirt and gray track pants on him. His eyes were covered in glasses. Since when did he start wearing glasses? Probably she did not know many things about him. Her mind countered. There were light shadows covering his face giving him a rugged look of manliness. Aliza licked her lips with desire.

Immediately a sharp pain shoots her head and she hisses.  She looks around and peeks down at the plain white shirt covering her body. A shiver ran down her spine. What did she do yesterday? Why was she covered in the shirt of Charles? She remembered till she took the first two pegs but afterwards even though she fetched her mind for answers nothing came out except blankness. 

"Had nice fun with Johnny Walker?" Charles spoke the words typing something very seriously in the laptop.  "My headache is like someone is punching on it." Aliza holds her head and complains. Charles grinds his teeth and looks at her with his eyes flaring red. A pit went down the belly of Aliza assimilating the fire in the stance of her fiancé.

He lifts the receiver of the intercom and orders a cold. "Get me a glass of lemon water with a tablet of Tylenol." For two minutes, Athena was standing in the bedroom with a tray and looking at Aliza with pity filled eyes. Aliza yelled in her head to Athena please tell me what happened yesterday. On the contrary after Aliza finishes drinking the water with the tablet Athena leaves without speaking a word. Charles presses the button on the remote and the door instantly gets locked.

Her heart was about to jump off its rib cage as soon as the door was locked. What is he going to do to me now?
