"Would you still stop by sometimes to check up on me?" Valerie asked, distracting me a bit from work. I wasn't even leaving yet till five p.mI peered at her from the laptop, "Val, I could stay back. You know that," I clicked send on an email, "Or better still you could move in with us," I said half-heartedly. There were more than enough rooms in the Hernandez mansion and I was so sure Lucas wouldn't mind.Valerie squeezed her face at me and straightened her hair. "Oh please, so I would bump into you two fucking on a couch,"My jaw dropped. "Valerie, we do not fuck on the couch," I shook my head, "Jeez, why am I even having this conversation with you,"She laughed and flickered her hair in a sheer show of vanity, "Well, because we're best friends," her tone turned serious, "Now I'm serious–"I rolled my eyes, "You better be," I laughed and half focused on work when I saw the look on her face. She still wanted to say more."Hmm… do you think there'll be no more hitches," she corked her
Before driving to the house, I stopped by a perfume store to get scented candles. Lucas didn't quite know I'll be coming back to the house today. I didn't even report at the office."Thank you so much," I said to the receptionist at the counter.She packed my order of camwood and lavender candles. "You have such good taste," the woman who looked like she was in her mid thirties said."Thank you for the compliment," I smiled at her, took my order and headed towards the door. It was ten minutes past six– two more hours till Lucas was due from the office and that's if he had no hectic schedule.I placed my package in the backseat and got into the driver's seat. I was trying to hide it, I tried to tell myself I wasn't anxious and going back to the mansion wasn't much of a big deal– I've been living there almost six months.I guess it wasn't to be. I was more nervous than I'd expected. The drive back home was supposed to take a maximum of ten minutes, but I took twenty minutes.When I got
The atmosphere became thick with so much emotion. Lucas ran his hands through my hair and fisted his hands around them, earning him a low groan from me."I guess you have to tell me just how much you've missed me," he kissed my lips slowly at first, then it began aggressive. His tongues searched insatiably for mine, he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he led us to the bed.He tossed me gently on the bed, the edges of his eyes burned with intense passion. "Pull off your nightgown," he ordered.I easily slipped off the red lingerie, amidst the burning sensation heating my clit. "Spread your legs," I leaned on my back and did as he ordered. Lucas gazed at my bare fold, like some treasure. If it was the old Samantha I would have been embarrassed contrary to that, I longed for him more.He yanked my thighs and buried his head in between my legs, sucking and nibbling at my clit. I gripped his head tightly as his tongue worked on my clit.Goodness!"Argh… I-I-I…" I moan
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Lucas footsteps heading towards the door. I rubbed my eyes and yawned lazily. I didn't even remember when I drifted off to sleep."Good morning pumpkin," Lucas greeted.I blew him a kiss, "How was your night?" He questioned."It was amazing?" I turned to look at the alarm clock. It was barely eight in the morning."Why are you leaving so early?" I asked, still feeling sleepy.He walked up to me and kissed me on my forehead, "We have new investors coming in from Mexico today," he ran his fingers along the nape of my neck, "This would be one of our biggest hit in this quarter,"I slipped out of the comforter and wore my robe, "Oh that's good to hear, I wish you well,""Thank you pumpkin," he stood up and slid his hands around my waist, "We have a reservation at two pm, today. Get ready,"I moved back slightly, "Reservation? Where?"Lucas arched his eyebrows at me, "It's a surprise," he kissed me on the lips and a little all over my face before
I managed to get a hold of myself and gently pulled out of the secretary's grip."What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to mask the tension brewing inside of me.Audrey let out a mocking laughter, "What am I doing here?" She smirked, brought out a piece of paper and flung it at me, "Last I checked you are highly intelligent. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for you to understand,"I crouched and picked up the paper that fell to the ground. Oh my goodness! My vision turned blurry as I read through the content of the paper.It was stated in the paper that Audrey was pregnant. She's Andres' date remember? A little voice in my head that held on to hope suggested."Andres isn't here. You know where to find it," I said in defiance.Audrey laughed again, this time louder than before, "And who said Andres was responsible?"I'd never been unconscious all my life. But at this point, when she said those words, I lost every sense of reasoning and went totally numb.And who said Andres was respons
I cursed myself for getting into this in the first place. It was all my fault, if I had stayed back that night instead of downing myself in shots of scotch whiskey, Audrey wouldn't have been here. Now, I stood a greater chance of losing Samantha– again.When will all of these end? "Lucas you don't need to bother with Samantha, after all she's a grown woman she'll do–" she placed her hands on my shoulders."Get your filthy hands off me," I was losing my cool as much as I tried to keep it in check.She gasped and laughed, "You and I know there's no denying that you own this pregnancy," she inched towards me and leaned in so close I could breath in her perfume that smelled of fresh vanilla."That child is not mine," I drawled, reminding myself of the numerous reasons why I don't lay my hands on women. Audrey was pushing me to the wall so bad and I was struggling to keep my head in place.She ran her fingers over my chin, "Baby, we could just continue from where we–"I held her hands firm
I couldn't bring myself to stop crying or even thinking about the whole incident with Audrey. Valerie tried as much as she would but perhaps her best wasn't enough to dry the tears from my eyes."How about you go to the mansion and talk things out with Lucas?" Valerie had suggested one day.I'd my head and dismissed her suggestion. What's the point? What's the point when everything were based on deception and lies? I should have known Lucas would never get over Audrey.Maybe I was the other woman. The woman who shouldn't be there but forced herself on Lucas irrespective. Despite all of this, I didn't love him less than I did when all of these hadn't happened.I tried to get my mind off everything and concentrate solely on helping Valerie come up with the best marketing structure for her company. It wasn't enough to make me forget about Lucas but at least my head was full of ideas other than sulking and dying slowly."What do you think about this?" I showed Valerie some of the samples
Ever since Audrey broke the news of being pregnant and I responsible, I've been nothing but miserable heck! a mess for lack of better words.Yes I went to the casino, I bumped into her and shoved her aside. I stood up and headed towards the exit till I almost stumbled on the waiter and then and then she helped me and everything went blank. I couldn't remember what happened after that.I found myself drifting off during board meetings and I could hardly keep up with the hectic schedule that came with this office, whilst trying to navigate what my life had become. She'd asked me out of her house that was mild compared to what I'd expected her to do.Samantha was a walking angel, as much as she would stand her fight if it was too much for her to handle, now I feel like she wasn't fighting hard enough.I was way strong to hold my own liquor and didn't get tipsy that easily. Then, how on earth did I get into bed with Audrey? The incessant question bugged at me.I sighed and rubbed the brid
