Chapter 42 - Like a married couple

***EDISON'S THOUGHTS***

I acted like letting go of her was nothing. I pretended that I am in control of what was happening between us. But what just happened between almost made me loose my mind. Made me loose control.

I felt her the moment she stepped out of the room. It seems like all my senses are attuned to her. I can spot her anywhere. Maybe it was her scent. She doesn't know it yet but her scent drives me crazy. She doesn't use perfume. She wears her natural scent which made it all the more seductive. Combine it with her naivety and innocence and you have a perfect concoction for a femme fatale.

What I really love about her is that, she can be a lot of things. Make me feel a lot of things. One instant she is as docile as a baby, the next she is a spitting lioness. No one knows what she will do next. Which makes me guess as to how she will react or what she will think.

She is, by far the best thing that happened to me. She makes me feel alive. She scorches me with the desire to be with her but at the same time scare me that might be forcing her into giving into me.

I gaze around her room and smiled. Her living room was pristine. So is her kitchen. Most of her furnitures were white. She had a white sofa and carpet. But I can tell that she is quiet bold and passionate because scattered around are a few items of red, orange or yellow. Like orange throw pillows, red cooking wares and orange dining sets. She also seemed to love wood since her sofa and dining table are made of wood.

But her room is exquisite. She really showed who she is in this room. Someone who can be bold but dark. She acknowledges her light as well as the darkness with in her. This made me fall for her even more.

She had white painted walls and her room has a balconette. She choose her apartment well, its not too low that she will be disturbed by the busy traffic but not to high up that she will have a hard time going up the stairs should she need to. I checked her windows to make sure that it is secured. I don't want any harm to come to her. When every window was inspected, I looked around the room.

I saw her bed. Good. Its big enough for the two of us when the time is right. She had black bed cover and blankets. But her pillow cases are white with black stripes. At the center of the bed was a very old and tattered teddy bear. Looks like I will have to content to this fellow here for a spot in that bed.On the bedside table were two picture frames. One has Helena with a blonde girl and the other one, was a photo of an old couple.

Family, I guess.

I went to her dresser. I can see that she only has a lotion, sunscreen and moisturizer on it. Nothing else. She also did not have any jewelry.

Her closet shocked me. She only had very few clothes. Just enough but could cover any occasion. Business, casual and fancy party. I am looking forward to seeing her in this black dress.

I started hanging my clothes beside her. I just brought a pair of business suits, work clothes and casuals. I also placed my underwear in her drawer.

I went into her bathroom, placed some personal items and toiletries beside hers on the sink and started bathing. Just being in her place is enough to make me happy.

I really had no plans of coming over. I planned to wait until everything is ready but I changed my mind when I thought about her cooking. I really love her cooking and wanted to taste it again. But I knew that it would be rude for me to just barge in her place and demand that she cook. That is why I bought some stuff and cooked for her. And of course to get to know her by visiting her place.

A thought flashed through me.

"I know you guys don't like it when girl take control."

What kind of bull was she talking about?

Then it suddenly dawned on me. HIM. The jerk that Helena seems to be having trouble forgetting. The jerk thay broke her. I would really like to meet him so that I could put some sense into him and gloat that he lost a great woman because of sheer stupidity. I hurriedly got ready so that I can set things straight with Helena.

I went out of the room and was about to say something but it never came out.

Helena, seated on the table, was clearly waiting for me. She looked up and smiled at me and whatever argument that I was ready to fire at her died down. I saw her face turning red and realized that I was just staring at her. I moved towards her and saw her sighed in relief.

Her relief was short lived since I suddenly turned her chair towards me and placed my arm on both sides, effectively caging her. I saw annoyance and worry flash through her eyes. This made me really happy. At least now I know that I have the same effect on her as she has on me.

"Helena?" I began, "you look mighty hot when you took control of what was happening earlier. Don't ever apologize for being passionate." I said making her eyes widen in surprise.

"I am not him. Never ever compare me to him. For me, it was a major turn on and I hope that you will do it again someday." I added and sat down and began eating.

She followed suit. When we were done, we went to the office. I kissed her on the cheek before getting off the elevator at the second floor. I liked it that we had breakfast and came to work together.

Like a married couple. This thought made me really happy.
