If one advise i were to give my future self would be do not listen to yourself in times of urgency....
The moment i recon Charles's Voice my mind went to auto pilot mode ,nor did i screech like a kid i also flushed my face against William's chest and tried fruitlessly to covered myself with his half opened coffee blotched shirt—
oh pete you dumb pete...you're cheeks are flushed against William's chest, a very much unclothed chest—
Great now what worse could happen to me—
I shouldn't have assumed that because the subsequent moment ;
"Oh my god! —— Peter Kale is that you ?" —
my cousin's voice rang inside my brain i malfunctioned —
God not her, anyone but not her ,what is Kayla doing her? ,she's the most meanest cousin I've ever had and if she finds out this I'm doomed ...everyone will know..He will know!
I visibly shuddered at the thought, i couldn't let them know especially him, he would flip out,but guess luck was not on my side —
"My my peter,—— " i attend her voice nearing and my beggings dies down to self hostility, — "so the rumours are true huh! you're really holds up to your tag ——"Black sheep!"—— , I had presumed you wouldn't take your brother's trail but look at you ,brooding shamelessly in arm of a man! and yet you had the audacity to reject my friend's proposal, Dylan was generous to ask you out seeing your condition back then but what you did—" I let her go on and one as i didn't had the courage to cut her off ,afterall she was correct i was a black sheep , a stain to my family, i wished she would just shut up , he's my boss for God's sake but i was startled by a powerful command , ——
"Enough!—— whoever you are miss ,you're tarnishing my faiance's prestige ,i prefer you to leave or i will condemned you for defamation. "—— the surroundings become quiet too quiet — then i recon the retreating footsteps of heel clinking against the floor,
kayla was backing down! oh this was incredible, she's never the one to back down! i say —— William Brown — you have my admiration —
i hesitantly left my safe space of his broad bare chest and perk up ,his countenance was set formidable devoid of any emotion yet his eyes were blaring in wrath, with a brief look at me he called for dean ,
"dean get her away from my eyesight and you Charles, don't you understand the notion of privacy, i recommend you leave, you can meet peter later. "
without a wink dean was taking kayla away , whas he here all this time ,oh god talk about humiliation!
i saw Charles ricocheting me a gaze— a gaze depicting a concealed agenda i turned around not trusting my intuition ,accidentally brushing my lips against his sternum, i gaped alarmed.
shit pete stop harassing the man and get away , he's straight for God's sake.
I distanced my self and shifted to picked up his discarded jacket, " are you always like this or is it me that has the special screening " his tone held mockery, and i melted in a poodle of remorse, "i can explain —" his tsk cut me off, he stalled towards me and my heart picked a beat with the way he inched down to my face, "You're premium class trouble, Peter Kale, premium i say" he tugged the jacket from my hand ,his eyes stagnant on mine , "I'm never allowing you to buy coffee in future "
i was left shunned entrenched to the ground eyeing his broad back retreating to car , my mind ricocheted to the faint curve of his lips.
Did he grin at me ? smile... William can smile, oh this was something worth documenting, pete you watched the devil smile upon you — is it a good or bad sign? — dont tell me he was implying that I'm fired or worst he's going to —— my blabber thoughts were cut short by a car honk , i jerked my cranium and saw him , he was standing by his car clasping the door ,his sights orchestrated to me .
is he waiting for me? Of course, you're his fake fiance ,idiot. he has a reputation to hold on .its just an act —— an act ~
i leapt running to him, he beckoned ,i took my seat ,scooting to the farthest window initiating a safe space in between, i required time to be normal ,this was all too much , mr. Charles, Kayla particularly William, his eyes, they were beginning to get me distracted and it was certainly not a good sign.
——
We reached the building, i peeked at him hesitantly, he looked wrecked, straight up
coming from i chicken combat ,his clothes disarrayed ,smudged with dirty brown, brows furrowed, hairstyle disordered with strands sticking here and there , his callous CEO impression was ravaged and the lone reason was me , i tugged his shirt and he glanced down at me ,his brow arched in query, "i suppose we should go back to your house, you need a change of clothes " he creased his brows and looked back to his clothes , "no need i have one in my office "
then i saw the most remarkable view of my life —— William uncuffed his shirt and rolled up his sleeve, his veiny arm protruding out ,my eyes followed the movement of his hands, the flexing of his muscle, the bulging, the creaking , his long chiselled fingers running through his logs, detangling the hairs ,his forehead creased in focus —— i was at awe .
