Here goes nothing!
I walked closer to him while swaying my hips and licking my lips, and just when I was getting closer to him I tripped over something and ended up falling on top of him.
This could work out.
I raised my head which was resting on his chest and met his dark blue eyes looking directly at my grey ones. I smiled at him but I could see he was still angry by the way the frown still remained on his face.
"Why haven't you changed your clothes?"
"Emm...." I was lost for words but I had to do this, for my mother, for me! "I really want to go to the family gathering honey" I said in the sweetest tone I could think of.
He groaned, like really loud "I said we aren't going, so I mean we aren't going" he said and tried to get up but I pulled him back down.
"But you know for a fact that this event only happens once in a year, and we have never missed it before, so why now?, because of a stupid phone call from your dad, did you even stop for a moment to think what your wife would think about your decision"
He looked at me with shock evident in his eyes and I'm sure shock was also in mine. I can't remember ever standing up to Leo before.
I got up and dusted my gown "I apologize for my sudden outburst" but when I was about to leave he held my arm.
"Go get your bag, Make sure your in the car by 2:00pm. You have exactly 16 minutes"
××××××××××××××
I got out of the car and couldn't help admiring the house before me. I still remember it from last year, The Martínez Building.
My husband, Leo Martínez, is the C.E.O of the Martínez international Monetary Funds Organization. One of the largest company in the whole of America. And guess who his secretary is... ME.
Our relationship is not just between husband and wife but also boss and secretary, and yes, I was his secretary before we got married, that is how we met each other. And after we got married, Leo tried to persuade me to quit my job, but I refused every single time he approached me on the matter. But as time began to fly, I realized that I made the wrong decision. Leo always had been possessive of me, but it's more embarrassing when he does it in the office.
"Are you alright" I heard Leo ask
I nodded "Yeah"
"Just concerned, you've been lost in thoughts since we arrived"
"Just happy to be here, thanks again"
He gave me a nod and interlocked his hands with mine before entering inside the building. The house has a large letter M on top of the roof, which means the house is meant only for the Martínez family and no one else. They have another building for throwing parties or any kind of celebration.
I know, I married a rich man!.
I entered the house and was welcome by a big hug from gontha, Leo younger sister. She is just 16 years old and the youngest in the Martínez family. I hugged her back and smoothen her red hair, she is a redhead.
"Oh My God, Hayley, I missed you so much. Do you know that about 56% of my time is spent looking at all your photos" she said dramatically.
I giggled "What of the rest?" I asked curiously.
She looked down and started drawing invisible lines on the ground with her foot "Maybe on food"
"Hayley dear, how have you been?" I turned to look at Mrs. Aalya Martínez, Leo's mother. she was wearing a strapless pink gown with so little make up, she still looks young and beautiful regardless of her age.
I enveloped her in a hug before replying "I'm good, mother"
"As always, with my son as her life partner can anything go wrong" I heard Mr. Shawn Martínez say from behind me. I always got this feeling that he had never liked me, even when Leo was still courting me, he was always against it and discouraged him a lot.
"Come on Shawn, don't spoil the mood" Mrs. Martínez said not liking the tension in the house. Then she turned to me "Come Hayley,your family is waiting upstairs"
And indeed they were, I went up and saw everyone settled on the sofa. "Mum!" I shouted in excitement and went over to give her a hug.
"Hay-bear" I turned and saw my little nephew running towards me, I picked him up from the ground and spun around kissing his cheek, Manster is just 4 year old and I love him so much.
"Come on Mans, don't disturb your aunt" My sister, Mandy Hester now Mandy Stevenson, said while taking him down and hugging me.
"Welcome home, Hayley" Mandy's husband, Steven Stevenson said and extended his hand, but I pulled him to a hug. I didn't attend my sister's wedding, Leo didn't allow me to attend it, he said he didn't want to go and couldn't take the risk of me meeting someone else. But I thank God I was able to attend their baby shower, Leo allowed me to come after much persuasion.
"Why is it that only she is welcomed and not me"
I turned around to see who said that, I would have thought it was Leo but his is more deeper than this one. And I am right, someone else was standing behind Leo, he looks like Leo!
Contrasting to Leo's long black hair, he has short dirty blonde hair, and also contrasting to Leo's dark blue eyes, he has light green eyes. But their nose, their mouth and also their face structure is alike.
"Tom, seems like you have no one else to entertain you there in London, that's why you came here"Then a smirk appeared on Leo's face "Ain't I correct"
But Tom didn't seem a bit hurt by Leo's dreadful words , but instead he smiled in return "Not really brother, but you are partially correct"
This two stared at each other, well, more like Tom staring and Leo glaring.
Then Tom turned to me, "Your taste isn't bad brother" and at that moment I felt myself turning light shade of pink, then he took my hand and gave it a peck "Thomas, Thomas Martínez"
