Jason, a short-tempered playboy who needs a wife mainly for his business, met Kelsie with the help of his friend. He asked her directly to be his wife, but unfortunately, she turned him down. Kelsie, a simple but fierce lady, works in a coffee shop but needs a better job. After Jason asked her to be his wife, she cussed him out and walked out on him. She later got called for an interview at a big company, and that was where she saw that her boss was the same guy she threw curses at. They both secretly had it in mind to bend each other to their taste, but little did they know that in the process of doing that, they were going to find something else. Something unexpected. Something they were not prepared for. Something they were scared of. Love.

I checked the time on my wristwatch and saw that my shift was almost over."Thank God" I muttered and carried the tray of coffee to a table about six feet away.I served the coffee and smiled."Shit" I heard a masculine voice say out those words, earning my attention. He was a customer sitting around a not too far from where I was standing.He was on a call, his large hand holding his phone tightly like he was having a fight with the phone or probably the person he was on phone with.I sighed and looked away. God help this guy. He seems to be always furious about everything and everyone around him, he's gonna grow old soon, I swear.I turned my face at him again for a last look. He was still holding his phone tight and I pray he does not break the poor thing.I noticed he was going to rotate his head to my direction and quickly averted my gaze before he catches me staring as that would be really awkward for me.I walked back to the counter and as I was preparing to serve another coffee, I heard a feminine voice beside me talk in whispers."When are you gonna talk to him?" She asked in a rush.I feigned a confused look for about three seconds before asking "Talk to who?"She made a soft exhaling sound "Kelsie, come on, you know who" She gestured her head towards the furious guy sitting at the corner of the cafe."Oh!! that guy!!" I jerked my thumb backwards.She folded her arms across her chest "Yes, Kelsie. That guy"The guy looks like someone who would yell at me if I tried to talk to him, so I avoid him a lot, but I really need his help.I chewed my bottom lip, glancing back at the guy again and then I saw that he was looking at my direction with those dark gray eyes and before I could think of looking away, our eyes inter locked. I mean, really locked that it was kinda hard to unlock."Shit" I mumbled. It was my turn to say out the curse out.He boldly maintained the eye contact making me feel so nervous. I threw him an awkward smile before turning my face away.God. What an eye contact."So, you haven't answered my question" I heard the feminine voice again."Mildred, I'm gonna talk to him when my shift is over" I said slowly."Oh, girl, you've been saying that for the past few days now" She pointed out.I adjusted my glasses "Mildred..." I called and sighed "I'm gonna talk to him today""Good. You should. You really need a better job to support yourself" Mildred said smiling at me.I smiled back at her and was tempted to throw a quick look at the guy again. I know I shouldn't be giving him those creepy glimpses, but I don't think I can help it. I rotated my head to have my eyes land on him.This time, he had his eyes on his phone, his long fingers typing rapidly with a frown on his face. I inhaled and exhaled, getting ready to talk to him when my shift is over.I hope the conversation goes well.***I stood in front of the customer and watched him type fastly on his phone, glaring at the screen. Oh man, this guy should be the definition of 'fast and furious' with the way he types fast and the anger he's got on his face.I adjusted my glasses and cleared my throat to notify him of my presence. He looked up and then I was able to see his dark gray eyes clearly again. It looked like those eyes were mixed with another dark colour but I can't place what colour it is exactly.He narrowed his eyes at me for a moment, then as if he finally recalled why I was standing like a moron in front of his table, he gave me a nod and gestured his right hand to the seat in front of him, but before taking the seat, I ran my gaze over his hand, taking note of its masculinity and the silver bracelet around his wrist.He is so manly. And rich.His simple businessman outfit says a lot about his money. Simple, but I can still smell the money all over him.I dropped my bag on the chair and sat gently like a simple, nice lady. I beamed at the guy to lighten the atmosphere but he didn't smile back, he only gave a nod like an agama.Okay. Good start; Note the sarcasm.Now, how am I gonna talk to him and not make him furious at me? I mean, Just look at him now, staring at me with those dark eyes like he could swallow me whole when I haven't even said a word."Hi" I greeted, grinning, but still no smile from him. Or a word.Alright. This is gonna be whole lotta hardwork now. I cleared my throat again, trying to think of where to start from. But when I least expected it, he finally talked."Kelly" His voice was deep and his expression blank.I blinked at him for few seconds. Kelly? Then I smiled at him despite the fact that he called the wrong name.Dude, its Kelsie, not Kelly."It's Kelsie" I corrected calmly. I don't know if he had misheard my name from Mildred or he forgot the real name."Kelsie?" He said in a questioning tone, his eyes doing a quick assessment from my head down to my chest."Yes. Kelsie" I answered, beaming at him again.He stared at me, going silent again with no smile or expression on his face.I was expecting him to talk, say something, do something, but no. He did nothing!Feeling awkward, I rubbed my first finger on my ear before adjusting my glasses with my other hand."So, uhm..." I cleared my throat for like the third time now, while he still gave me that blank look. "Uhhh...Mildred told me you have a job for me" I went straight to the point."She told me you needed a job" He replied, his deep voice giving a pleasing sound in my ear."Yeah. I do. I mean I have a job already" I paused, his stare makes me kinda nervy. "Obviously, I have a job" I chuckled dryly "But....err....I need a better job"No word, just silence from him.I blinked slowly while he continued to stare blankly."Soooooo...." I resumed talking to break the silence "Mildred wanted me to get a better job and promised to talk to you about it. She got back to me later to tell me you've got got a job for me but we needed to talk, but now you're not even talking, I've been the one doing the whole talking" I said, rushing my words, and finally took a deep breath after I was done.Few seconds passed and just when I was about to say something else, I heard his deep voice."Alright" He muttered, running his eyes over my face like he was checking for something "You wanna know the reason I considered you for this job?" He asked, his dark gray eyes boring into mine. I'm not not gonna lie, those eyes are a beauty. "Mildred said some things about you which made you suitable for the job""Oh" I was curious now. "Some things?.....like what?"He looked like he was tired of talking but he answered anyways "She said you're matured, intelligent and very secretive"I smiled."And I hope that's true" He tapped his first finger on the table bringing my eyes to the veins at the back of his palm. "I really hope it's true, especially the last part"My smile wiped away and I narrowed my eyes at him "The last part?""Yeah" He said while exhaling "I need someone very secretive for this job"I was more than confused. "Someone very secretive?" I repeated burrowing my brows "And what type of job is that?"He stopped tapping his finger on the table and sat upright "It's a simple job"I flustered, eagerly waiting for him to say more."You just need to do something for me, and I will pay you handsomely, just abide by the rules and regulations, that's all" He explained briefly, but I still haven't gotten to know the type of job he's talking about here."So what am I gonna do for you?" I asked, my tone showing just how eager I was to hear him talk."I want you to be my wife" He finally answered my question.I blinked repeatedly and fastly at him in disbelief, then I pressed a finger on my ear, to be sure I haven't developed a hearing problem."Sor....sorry, you....you said what now?" I stammered.He breathed out, sitting so relaxed and still looking very serious "You heard me"Okay, I heard him. He wants me to be his wife.That must be a joke, and it sure was a hilarious one. I started to laugh, showcasing my teeth, but his expression getting more serious and even capable of murdering me, automatically killed my laughter."Uhm...." I blinked several times till I felt my eyes aching me. "Oh my God, you're serious about this"He didn't say anything. The look on his face was enough to reply me."Wow!" I stared at him as I recalled some of his words; 'I need someone very secretive for this job'My lips parted. Man, that sentence proves that he really wants me to his wife! Holy, holy fuck!{Kelsie}I have been feeling my mum's questioning eyes on me ever since I entered the kitchen for breakfast. My mum staring at me is the least of my problems when I still have the clear erotic dream I had with Jason in it. I sat on the barstool to have my breakfast but I changed my mind when my mum kept staring fixedly at me.I took my meal to my bedroom, no one would stare at me there, but as my AMAZING luck would have it, I met my stepdad at the staircase giving me the same questioning stare my mum gave me. Can they all just stop? They way they have those big eyes on me makes me wanna cryyyyyy!!!For fuck sake, they should stop before I really starts to cry over the fact that I miss my husband so much. ***Going downstairs for anything, anything at all, was difficult for me to do. I stayed in my bedroom, curling up myself in a ball most of the time to think about my loving husband. Why am I even doing this to us? Okay, I remember, to save him from having a great heartbreak tha
{Jason} I assessed Kelsie, from her long, soft hair that I wanna run my fingers through, to her smooth thick thighs. I searched her blue eyes, they lacked the light that brightens them up, the glint of mischief I used to see has disappeared and that makes me sad. Kelsie was too quiet, too calm, too peaceful and it bothered me. I prefer the Kelsie that questions me, groans in irritation, yells out her annoyance, shows how pissed she is at me. Damn, I prefer the Kelsie that throws lots of curses at me. When Kelsie is being fierce, fighting me with her mean words, glaring at me, it makes me feel like things are normal, my life is not out of order. That is kinda insane, right? And very hilarious, but it is true. "Are you okay?" I asked, worried about her. "I am okay" That's not true at all, she looks hopeless. "You're not" I told her. She gazed away "Why are you here, Jason?" "I. . ." I frowned at myself "I don't know!" I said, still thinking about her question. "I gue
{Jason}When I woke up, I knew instantly that something was off somewhere. I scanned the room and saw that Kelsie wasn't there. Something tells me that what happened last night was gonna change a lot of things but I don't want to believe that until I saw a note on the bedside table which says:'I'm sorry I left. I just can't do this anymore, you are too good for meKelsie' I crumbled the paper in my hand, feeling like I'm about to burst. She does not have to leave. She does not have to leave. She does not have to. . . .Fuck!!{Kelsie}Things happened so fast that I can't handle it anymore. Maybe it didn't happen that fast, maybe it's just the complicated me thinking it did. My phone beeped and I glanced at it, just as expected, it was Jason who had sent another message. He has called and sent numerous message. 'Where are you?''Please tell me you're okay' 'Kelsie, why'd you leave?' 'We need to talk' 'I miss you, babe''Please just tell me you're okay''Call me if you need
{Kelsie}The shock of my life? Jason being serious about the words; 'I love you'Yeah, that's shocking---and scary. There are so many girls he could have fallen in love with, perfect girls that fate would have paired him with, but he had told me he loved me instead of the other girls. I can't love him in the right way, I would end up breaking his heart just the way I did with the other guys. I can't keep a love relationship for a long time, especially with someone that loves me the way Jason does. Matt loved me, and I left him right after breaking his beautiful heart, God bless the guy, he was so good to me. Now, Jason is in love with me, I would leave him too one day. My mum was right when she said I wasn't all that understanding. It's why I can't form a good lasting relationship with the guys I've dated. Maybe Jason is still confused about his feelings. It's probably just lust messing up his brain. I know that it's been a while he's had sex with a girl, maybe after releasing
{Jason}I was feeling that heat again, not the sexual one, I'm not always horny. It's the heat of anger. "You shouldn't have let this happen!" I hissed at the two women standing in front of me, and man, I was missing my wife already. Her magical presence and that amazing coffee would have calmed me down a bit, but she does not work here anymore. She is now my wife. "I am so sorry sir" The two women chorused. I clenched my fist, trying hard not to yell at them. "We are sorry sir" I don't think I can actually stay quiet anymore. "Fuck your sorrys" I cursed not giving a damn about their wince. I wanted to say more, spit out more curses but I remembered Kelsie again. If she is here to hear the venom in my voice as I throw curses at my employees, she would be displeased. "You know how much I hate failures" I stated my usual sentence firmly and they nodded quickly. "You both should have known how much I hate. . .delays!" "We are sorry, Mr Storm" They mumbled with their eyes on the g
{Kelsie}Jason was surprised to see me, no doubt and even I was surprised I ended up at the door of his bedroom. I never knew I was that bold to do something like that, but I guess having a lustful mind can make you courageous to do crazy things. My hot husband had a flirtatious look in his eyes as he regarded my short night wear that barely hid some certain parts of my body. His cheeks turned pink as his eyes traced the shape of my breasts in admiration. I expected him to ask me a question like, 'what are you doing here?' But he didn't. "Are you not gonna ask me what I'm doing here?" I asked as I reached the front of his bed. "You are my wife, Kels" He folded his big strong arms across his hard broad chest. "I shouldn't be asking a question like that when we should be sharing a bedroom in the first place"I twisted my lips, feeling my cheeks heat up fast as I knew he was right. He strode towards me, his gaze moving from my hair down to my legs. I felt nervous and my heart was
{Jason}The business discussion with Mrs Lions was over and I was more than happy to leave the restaurant. "It's barely a week since you got married and you are already a changed man" Mrs Lions remarked as we walked out of the restaurant together. I arched a brow at her, wondering what she meant by that. "You used to be very quick to anger, but now, not so much" She elaborated politely, grinning. "Oh" I commented as I wasn't sure if she was complimenting me or not, but I knew she was right. Kelsie had unknowingly taught me to be slow to anger."I'm not saying every signs of your short temper has disappeared" I creased my brows. What is this woman even saying? "But I can still say you're a better man than you were before" I hummed. She is literally saying I wasn't a good man in the past, but I can't be that bad, right? Maybe I'll ask Kelsie. By the time I got home, dinner was ready and my lovely wife was already sitted at the dining room. I guess she's been waiting for minute
{Kelsie}Why had Jason told me he loved me? I have no idea. But why I have been avoiding him since the time he said those scary words to me? Yeah, I understand my reasons. He avoided me a lot too and I don't know if that was supposed to make things easier or harder. I can just say he's made things difficult since the time he said to me 'I love you'. I am so complicated I don't think a guy should just LOVE me romantically. Loving me is not even such a good idea. I didn't marry Jason because I love him, I married him because. . . . Because I love his money, I love the benefits this marriage is gonna bring to me, I love it that I was gonna get married to someone insanely attractive like him, someone my family likes, and he knows all that so why bring such intense and terrifying feeling into this marriage to mess it up. Love would only mess our marriage up and he is smart enough to understand that. Now that we were done with the honeymoon that got ruined the moment Jason had said '
{Jason}"I love you, baby" I subconsciously mumbled those words and snapped my eyes open. Oh, SHIT. I glanced at my surroundings and realized it was a bright morning already. The empty space beside me told me that I had woken up a bit late today probably because I had dreamt all night about confessing my love to Kelsie. ('I love you, baby')Those words. . . Why exactly did I even think about them. I puffed out air, pushing my fingers into my hair with my eyes shut. All I have been thinking about since the night of the wedding was 'I love you, baby' and all I've been doing was stammer whenever I try to say it out loud. I am such a fucking coward. I love a girl, yet I am frightened. I am scared I'm not gonna be that good at loving her in the right way, scared of the commitment issues I've got. I sighed loudly and started to climb down the bed. Time to face my wife today and I hope I don't do something stupid like I did on my wedding night, stammering my love confession. Minute
