We landed on an air pad later that night. There were two girls in red uniforms, waiting to escort our luggage to our rooms and I was very excited when we climbed down a flight of stairs into an elevator.
Shortly thereafter, it stopped and we stepped out in front of a beautiful oak door.
"Welcome to Suite Pleasure", one of the uniformed girls said in a heavy Irish accent and smiled. " Unfortunately, we received late notice of your arrival and we're unable to reserve your favorite Suite Sweet. We apologize for our lack of foresight", she added with a bow.
I was very impressed by her polite manners so I smiled.
Blaze gave a very curt nod and swiped the key card on the card reader by the door, swiftly walking into the room once it opened. I followed silently behind him and the two ladies followed behind me. They dropped our bags beside the door and immediately bowed to us before leaving. Now I was alone with the Lord of all things rude.
"Are you going to get the bags or do I need to get them myself?"
I wanted to rip his rude tongue out of his pretty mouth but who am I if not his employee.
"Yes sir, I'll get them", I retorted in a very calm voice. As I bent down to pick the heavy bag he brought, I saw him open an adjoining door and walk into it. I struggled to pick up the duffel bag, briefly wondering what he had packed in it. I couldn't push it either because it lacked wheels. My waist was killing me by the time I managed to get it to the door.
"Are you still alive?", I heard him ask and I rolled my eyes, dragging the bag into the room.
"You took a solid five minutes just to bring that tiny bag from the door?. Are you like some kind of old woman in a woman's body?", he asked but I refused to reply.
if he was going to be all naggy and whine about how long it took me to get his very heavy bag into the bedroom, then he should have gotten it himself, asshat.
"Guess you will need another five minutes to get yours here", he commented. All he knows how to do is get on my nerves all day. Good thing I'm not his boss, I wouldn't think twice about firing him and then kicking him painfully on the bum afterward. But he has a nice bum so maybe I'll just tap it. Perhaps even give it a little squeeze and...
"Earth to Amy", I rubbed my eyes when I saw him staring down at me whilst tapping two of his fingers in front of me.
" did you lose your mind?", he asked with an evil look in his eyes.
I immediately left the room feeling embarrassed about my earlier thoughts of his behind. I grabbed my bags and hurried back before he could begin another bout of complaining. But then, a thought occurred to me, making me stop right in my tracks.
My eyes met his and locked. I could swear that I could see the mischief dancing in his orbs.
"S-sir?", I stuttered out in an uncertain voice. He raised a brow at me but I could already see the corner of his upper lip twitch in amusement.
"where am I sleeping tonight?", I quickly asked, before I could lose my courage.
A smirk dotted his lips as his eyes bore right into mine. I could tell that he was enjoying whatever game that he was playing.
"I thought you didn't mind being with me in the same room and in the same bed...as long as you could eat good food". The sarcasm will dripping like acid from his tone and I just stood with a perplexed look on my face.
Did he just bait me?, I wanted to ask him but I channeled my annoyance into a small glare and fired it at him for ten seconds and then without saying a word, I picked up my bag and left the room.
"hey, Amy....where are you going?", I heard him call after me but I refused to turn back or even look at him. "fuck it!, I'm your boss!", I heard him shout but I plopped on the sofa and ignored him.
As it was, I had a feeling that he wouldn't fire me. The reason however, I did not know and I dared not even imagine it. The devil was on Earth and he was in no other form than a hot, arrogant bachelor called Blaze.
There were sounds of movement and feet shuffling and then I saw a pair of tanned legs before me.
Great!, now I'm going to have nightmares about his legs for the rest of my life. Okay, may that was a little too dramatic, even for me.
"Amy...", he said in a small voice that made me look up.
"I was waiting for you to join me in bed", he whispered in a very deep voice.
Was he teasing me right now?.
No, he's seducing me. I guess he gets off by taunting me. Am I falling for it though?. No, I don't think so.
"Sorry sir, I didn't think you were that stingy to reserve one room and one bed. But thank you, I prefer the couch", I equally whispered back.
He stared into my eyes for a while before he gritted his teeth.
"sleep on the couch then!", he ordered before leaving abruptly. I scoffed at his retreating back, feeling triumphant until I saw him flick the lights off, leaving me in total darkness.
Stingy Asshole.
I felt around my bag, and slowly pulled out my phone from the side of it and sent my sister, Shayda a message. Seconds later, I saw her videocalling.
"hey little adventurer", she greeted while I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, here I am...on a couch. Very adventurous, if I do say so myself", I answered in my most sarcastic tone.
"What?", surprise fluttered onto her features and I suddenly thought that it would have made a very good prank if it wasn't real. Too bad
"Yeah, my boss thought it would be very unwise to spend company money on an extra room for his assistant....who by the way was forced to come on this trip", I complained.
"Yeah, he's a prick", she said in a bored voice. I let out a short laugh at that. The sound of a door opening caught my attention and I turned to find my boss in nothing but black briefs glaring daggers at me in the dark.
I'm screwed.
