The birds outside were singing melodiously and a golden beam of light entered the room and it reflected onto the beautiful face which was beside me. She was looking beautiful without her trying anything. I then placed a light kiss on her forehead and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the both of us.
Inside the room, there was clear evidence of our previous passionate night from yesterday. I did not cook frequently and I did not know what to cook for breakfast so I decided to cook rice porridge and served it with pickles that is the only meal for breakfast I knew how to cook.
As I was cooking I was imagining the reaction she would have when she saw that I was preparing dinner for her and I wondered if it would taste good enough for her. Just when I was in the middle of cooking I saw a figure standing in the doorway to the kitchen looking at me with shock and surprise written on her face and it even gave me some encouragement. Her face without makeup was beautiful and alluring at the same without her trying anything.
"good morning", she said and she was avoiding eye contact with me. I had thought we had passed this stage already since she was screaming sottishly last night calling my name that the whole condo might have heard if not for the soundproofing in my apartment was good, especially my bedroom.
"morning, am cooking breakfast you can go and freshen up breakfast will be served soon", I told her and she gave me a questioning gaze that spoke hundreds of sentences like 'Do you even know what you are doing'.
She went and I could hear the sound of the shower opening showing she was washing herself some creepy thoughts came to me about joining her in the shower but felt guilty after watching her climb all the way this showed that she was still sore from last night's event. Last night my beast was tamed by her and I don't know what I would do if I ever were to lose her from my side.
After the shower, she came back smelling lavender and peaches and it was alluring it almost made me pounce on her on the table that moment but I had to exercise a lot of restraint to stop this from happening. Soon I dished out our meal and we started to eat our simple meal in peace fate seemed to have other plans for us but we were ready to face them head-on.
"no one told me that you can cook it will be bad if all your subordinates were to see you doing everything that it saw you now I was mind blown', she said why do I feel like she was trying to make me realize the tiger on her.
"as you can see not everyone is as capable as you to see this other side of me", I said as I looked straight into her eyes I saw her blushing and she looked like an angel coupled with the shirt she was putting on it was so tempting. I could feel my member fighting to be released from the cage I had put it in.
"well I have to say am impressed with this side of you, I did not expect you to have a different personality from the Mr Allan from work", she said and the way she called me Mr Allan was now sounding odd and it was irritating to hear that address slip her mouth.
"firstly I know I might be your boss but can you stop addressing me in such a way call me Alex please no Mr it makes me seem too old', I told her with a dissatisfied face and she just looked at me and put on a serious face.
"..what I mean is am truly in love with you Emma as you can see I don't know how to express some of my emotions and the way I acted I just wanted to dominate your mind so that you can notice me. I don't know how it happened or when but what we had last night was not a one-night stand but it was what I truly intended to do with you and only you. Am in love with you Emma", I opened my heart to her and she looked at me straight into my eyes I didn't know what she was looking for but I hoped it was to confirm what I said was the truth because truly my eyes only had her reflections.
"Alex ….", she said and I cut her off.
"I don't want to pressure you but you can think about it and most of all don't stop me from hitting on you, please allow me to woo you properly once again", I said and I was now up holding her small slender hands whilst kissing.
Suddenly we heard a loud knock on the door and we could not help but look at each other. Her eyes were questioning me if I had another guest coming over. When l opened the door it was pushed by the person outside with great force like they knew I would not let them enter and I fell and I heard Emma calling my name.
"Alex are you okay', she said and her tone truly showed she cared about me and it showed that I still had a chance with her.
When I looked at the intruder I was shocked for a moment and I then saw Emma looking at her with equal hostility as they looked at each other. I smelt blood and I knew it was going in the wrong way pretty fast and I needed to stand my ground before Emma misunderstood anything.
"Mary what are you doing in my apartment", I said to her with hostility in my eyes.
"Baby I miss you and who is she", she said.
"ooh you came with your boyfriend why do I not see him", I asked her with veins bulging on my forehead.
I looked at Emma but she was siping her glass of juice without care of who she was seeming to enjoy herself.
"Baby why are you treating me like this I was wrong but now I have repented please let us talk this out am sorry", she said whilst wiping her imaginary tears and it was making me angry.
"Now let me make it clear to you Miss the day you decided to cheat on me and steal from me was the day our so-called relationship and I quite remember it was 5 years ago now that the duchebag has married and left you, you want to come back to the person whom you cheated. Maybe your crazy it happened a long time ago and I moved on a long time ago my apologies for introducing you as you can see you walked on us this is my fiancée and soon we will be having a wedding. Now your presence might make my future wife's mood bad leave", I narrated with a straight face, and when I said future wife I saw Emma choke on her drink and spit it out in some sprays.
Mary then walked out with heavy footsteps and she left the room but the air was still irritable and our perfect breakfast was ruined by her actions. What I was worried about was what Emma was thinking because she was calm and according to some studies it can be seen that people who are quiet like her are deadly as no one can know what they are thinking.
"Emma I can explain her name is Mary Elias and she is my ex-girlfriend from 5 years ago. We broke up after she cheated on me with a man who was once my best friend but now my competitor as well as number 1 the owner of Bluesky Corporation. After I discovered their affair he made her steal some important files from me which included an exclusive company project which he then implemented and I suffered a massive loss by then since my company was still facing some challenges at that time. So ever since I have never contacted her", I was sealed shut when I saw her initiating to kiss me and my soul made a victory cheer as it seemed like she was closing to accepting me.
"I trust your character Alex but this act of mine does not mean I said yes to your proposal yet", she said but it was evident in her eyes that I had started to grow on her. Now was the time for me to pursue her openly until she said yes.
"thank you so much and on that note I called Bertha and you have a day off today ", I told her.
"and what am I going to do why does it feel like you also took a day off", she questioned me.
"remember am still the boss so I took a day off to accompany you', I answered truthfully.
"I hope not in bed though because I cannot feel myself anymore", she said complainantly.
"it is still a miracle you could walk out of bed next time you will become a vegetable for a day", I teased her, and she started to blush.
"Can you stop being a pervert right now", she said.
We spent the day watching some series on Netflix and reading some novels whilst I dealt with some office papers. I wish she could accompany me every time like this. The day ended and she went back to her condo which was right next door to me but it felt like she had traveled too far away. Love is trouble sometimes I agree.
