I was staring at him, and he was staring back in amusement. If I am not wrong, my presence over here took him by surprise.
He was now analyzing me, and I was not getting why. Granted, I am working for his company, and it's not a bloody crime. I tried to maintain my composure. Facing him only made my blood boil, and so many things started unleashing that I had long buried. I hate every ounce of it.
"Are you stalking me, Re?" That bloody nickname. I despise that nickname to the core. I stopped most of them who tried to use the nickname to address me, but I couldn't stop him. Strangely, I liked it when he called me by that nickname. I was definitely smitten like anything. Even now, I am not thinking of correcting him.
"God forbid. I am not old Reece, who was smitten. Get over it. I am an employee of this company, and I hate it, but I can't help it." "So, you are not stalking me.?" "How many times do I have to clear?" "As many times as you are clear about your intention toward me." He started laughing.
What the hell was so funny, like, seriously? That bloody smile always made me weak, and I am not old Reece to get weak. We were silent for a few minutes.
"How are you new Reece? It's been a long time." He occupied a nearby chair. I am happy to pour the things he unleashed. "After I got over a I wanted to add pest so badly, like really. But I couldn't. How can I? That face. Damit and he is single at present. I can't believe I just thought about his status. How pathetic did I reach the peak of it? He was waiting for me to continue. I cleared my throat. After getting over an asshole so-called my 'ex', by dumping every fucking thing related to him, and by digging a grave by burying all his memories, I am bloody perfectly fine. Thank you for asking." He was startled and was staring at me in shock. I know the reason behind it.
"Who are you? Are you Reece?" I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "I am. This is the real me that you never saw. Sorry, I never showed you." "Why?" Again. Why is he unleashing so much so soon? It's only a few minutes before we met after a long fucking years can't I or can't he take a bloody break. "I took seriously of pleasing shit, that's why." He started laughing. By coughing, I averted my eyes. Nothing was funny. I was fucking serious with him.
"You could have shown this Reece to me. Who knows, things might have changed." I rolled my eyes. Like seriously? He was fucking smitten by that Asher bastard. "You and I both know that would never happen. So, stop giving bloody false hope, at least now. Should I remind you that I got over you?" "Baby Common, we had a great time back then. Don't hold grudges against me." And he was pouting. It was adorable, like back then when I was smitten, but not now. He turned 22 for God's sake. By huffing, I averted my eyes.
From the time we are left alone, I am boiling like anything. Hardly I am controlling myself, and his words are not at all helping. His face, our past, and betrayal—everything is gushing through my mind. I wanted to yell at him so badly. I didn't do it back then because I was hoping he would come back to me, and it never happened. If I am not wrong, he never thought about me at least once in the past. He was surrounded by a deadly virus, his so-called 'friends', and his on-and-off boyfriend. Everyone at that time hated me for stalking him and always giving deadly glares. Please, I didn't give a shit to anyone, though, and promptly I was doing my stalking work.
He cleared his throat, forcing me to give him some attention. Bloody attention seeker. "You get over me, so we are good, right?" Like hell. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Oh common, we are working for the same company; let's be civil to each other." "Why would I be civil with a betrayer? If I am not wrong, I am not going to face you in the coming days. So, fuck off." By holding his heart, he sighed backward. Oh god, I need a break from him; at least for today, I had enough. "You wounded my heart, baby; it's bleeding." It only enraged me. "I am not the first, and it's not the first time." In return, I got a chuckle for that. I can't help it, and he invited this. I am not even sorry for what I sprouted.
"I think I like this Reece more." "Point to be noted: I don't give a damn for whatever." "Common, let's catch up. So many things were undone in the past." "Undone? What exactly?" "Let's continue our discussion over dinner." "I am not coming with you anywhere." "Now you are forcing me to use my authority." "Don't you think you are too much? I am not accompanying you anywhere, and that's final. I am not going to nod my head for everything like before got it." "Well, you asked for this. I need to discuss something related to your work over dinner. Follow me."
Did I really like this guy back then? What had gotten into me?
We were in the car. He was on the call, and as I was facing the window, my memory started flashing with old ones. Especially a few things that made me so madly fall for him. Starting with his pouting, smile, unique scent, and being friendly with everyone. His favorite dishes and how he melted in front of chocolate items. For a few months, I couldn't believe I had a chance with him. Dating him was an easy task. He can be pleased easily and never showed a rich brat attitude toward me. In fact, not with anyone; that's why he had so many friends.
The car was parked in front of the restaurant, and he started walking. I followed him. After giving the order, we were silent. He kept his cell aside and was facing me. I am not like the averting type; I was staring back with the same gaze. He started smiling. "You were the shy type, right?" "That was not me. My smitten side." "Oh right. You got two faces." "Both are good faces. But I showed you my pleasing side, which is entirely opposite." "Poor you." I couldn't help but snort at that comment.
"Don't use the bloody authority over pity things." "You could have just said yes, right?" "I am not interested in associating with you anymore. Don't you get it?" "Are you forgetting we are working for the same company, and I am the CEO?" "And your point, Mr. CEO?" "I will get my way if I want to." "Right. The reason why I want to gain power and status. What do you want to discuss with me?" "What do you think?" Our order arrived. We served ourselves.
I couldn't help but ponder over his question. What bloody is he indicating? No right? It couldn't be. After betraying, he can't just show up and demand 'fucking.' My answer would be fuck off. I won't let this bastard get his way so easily. Not to forget an important point: I am not bloody old Reece.
"So, what do you think?" "About?" "We are adults; don't act like you don't know what I am talking about." "You just showed up. There is no remorse for what you did to me in the past, and on top of that, you are expecting that we should hook up. Forget it and fuck off, ok." He studied me for a few seconds and continued eating. "OK, suit yourself."
I really thought he gave up just like that. I should have known better. He started removing his blazer, followed by a necktie. My hands were halted on the fork, and my eyes couldn't help themselves. He unbuttoned his shirt button, revealing his chest area, and I tried my best to avert my eyes, but how the hell was I supposed to do it? He is seducing me, and I won't let him win.
My appetite was gone and replaced by other hunger. I averted my eyes. By placing one of my hands on the table, I was fidgeting with my fingers.
Why not have him once and tell him to fuck off? Fair enough, right? It's been a long time, and he is fucking looking so mature in every way. I am angry, but I can continue the same thing after tonight. It was a win-win for both of us. What am I going to lose, bloody virginity? Which I lost long before to him. Once not going to do any damage for either of us.
"You dare to say no now?" I wanted to, but words were stuck. I wanted to reject him once again, but my member knew what it wanted, and it started reacting. I so hate him for doing this, but I am going to give a short pause for everything.
I want him. I am pathetic for lusting over a betrayer. I will let it slide for the night.
We were in the car. I didn't answer his question, but my eyes were all spoken. "You turned into a seducer, and I will let you get your way this time." "I know which button to push to get what I want." "You won't get your way every time. Are you getting what I am saying?" "Baby, just think about the night and what we are going to do." "Yeah, right. One night." "Best of luck with that." I wanted to rebuke for that, but I held back.
Around him, a few things will always be out of my control. After his betrayal, I avoided everything related to him, and I was successful to a certain extent but ended up working under him. I even hated to breathe the same air here. I am in anticipation of sharing a night with him. Just a night. I so wanted to believe it that, it's that's it more or less, but my mind was dwelling on questioning even before concluding myself.
I am certain to some extent that I am not going to take 'U' of my feelings; whatever this is going on, I have to see it end up in bed itself.
'Sex is sex, nothing beyond that. I strongly believe in the concept, which only added fuel to my already lacking human emotions and is the reason why I have been single until now. I never bother to take anything with anyone beyond sex, and it's not entirely his fault. I blame him to a certain extent, but more on myself, as I am concentrating more on my career and ignoring everything.
I am stable both in my career and in my life. If I give it a try, I can get into a stable relationship, but this urge to achieve more is stopping me. I want more in my life. I can be greedy and expect more because I have that potential and my hard work, and more than that, I deserve every bit of it.
This barge-in from him was not necessary, as I was content with my life, and yet I proved wrong as my lust took over. As I said, I can't predict my moves around him.
We reached his apartment. As we entered, our lips were locked, and the same old feelings gushed over. His scent still has a high effect on my member, start reacting without wasting a second.
By breaking the kiss, I pinged him to the wall and locked his hands as well. He was shocked.
We were staring at each other with the same lust-filled eyes. It's been a while since I had sex, and of course, being with him would be fucking awesome. My free hand started roaming on his chin and rolled down to the neck area, which only kicked in hard on my member.
I started sucking on his neck, and a gasp left from his mouth. "I am topping." Before, it was like the default, and I didn't argue over the position. As I said, I took pleasing thing too seriously. He was startled, and again, I get that. "But." "Tonight, I want to top you, and I am not going to back down. We are not in a position to stop ourselves; just give in." He was staring at me with an unbelievable expression. He will get used to this Reece sooner or later, and the sooner the better. I was staring back with a smirk.
He didn't give an answer, and there is no need for one. I presumed kissing him over the neck, and we ended up on his bed.
