Maybe a few minutes is the highest.
His gaze was cut short as the figure he was staring at literally rolled into the water.
"One, two, three" he counted as he waited for Randy to surface but the pool water was still.
Panicking, he rushed to the elevator to go the ground floor. The few seconds it took for the elevator to go to the ground floor felt like a tormenting hell. Finally the elevator opened, he ran to the swimming pool hoping to see a female figure surface.
There was still no show so he pulled off his shirt, not caring where it landed and jumped into the water. He saw Randy clutching until her kneel under the water. He thought she was having a cramp on her leg and was drowning because of it. As this thought went through his mind, the arms of fear ran down his spine.
Another lost, he thought.
He hurriedly brought out of the pool and played her on the ground to perform CPR. He started with mouth to mouth, blowing air into her mouth steadily until he felt her tongue touch his.
He leaned out to look at her, her big shiny black eyes were staring deep into his. It wasn't a casual stare, it was one that caused him to lean back in and go for another kiss that she happily receives.
He sucked on her lower lips then the upper one. They tasted like the orange juice she just her this morning and a mixture of her taste.
"Uhh" she moaned into the kiss, causing her lips to part.
Xander wasted no time, taking it as permission to enter her mouth and deepen the kiss but as tongue touched his, he felt like he was reminded of the reasons why he shouldn't be doing this. He pulled away from.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me" he muttered an apology and hurried away from the pool, while mentally cussing himself.
"It was just getting good" Randy muttered to herself as she traced her lips with her finger and felt need for his touch. Sadly his hand were on the ground while he kissed.
She couldn't let it go with all the emotions flooding through her. It had been a long time she let someone touch her that way and she was getting attached, which was not good.
Right now, she wants throw away what was good for her and satisfy her needs. She would deal with the consequences later.
Randy stood up and wrapped herself with her huge towel before making her way the same direction Xander left. She had a hunch that he would be in his room so she went there.
She was right, the wet footprint she was following ended behind the closed door to his room.
She turned the handle and the door was unlocked. She entered inside and saw Xander pacing with his hands in his hair. He stopped pacing when he saw her.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you get the message that I was done" Xander asked furiously. He wasn't certain if he was actuality angry at her or himself for getting affected by her.
"I got it but I choose to ignore it" Randy replied not phased by his anger. She took a step closer.
"Don't tell me you weren't actually drowning" Xander said as a sad chuckle left his mouth. "Why do I always end up with the wrong type of woman" he said mostly to himself. "Leave!" he ordered and she took a step closer.
"I don't want to" Randy replied, clenching until the towel around her for courage. Who was she to go against a billionaire's wish. She was a street girl who took so many part time jobs so her family can survive as she was the breadwinner.
"This is your last chance to leave, I can't promise you what would happen if you don't" Xander said, pointing to door.
"Then don't promise" she took another step closer causing him to take another backwards to space between them.
"I won't hold myself back" Xander said in a low voice filled with lust.
"I don't want you to" She said and dropped the towel that was around her.
"Fuck it" he cussed and grab her by the waist and threw her on his bed. "What do you want?" his voice sound so deep and filled with desires.
"Your hands on me" she moaned back.
"All this means nothing to me" Xander said. She would be lying if she wasn't hurt but this was something she should expect from a man out of marriage.

Today, the sun was on it's highest chasing away the fog from the rain of the previous night.
The most awaited wedding was taking place today. Hired workers ran around to get everything ready without a fault. The hall to be used was decorated beautifully and was starting to get filled with guests.
Hermia took one last look at herself on the mirror.
"You are beautiful and you deserve better" She said to herself.
She heard the door open and from the mirror she could see entered. Someone couldn't call a rival but an enemy, Randy.
"You don't have to stand up to greet me, I just came to see how the bride looks before the groom does" Randy said and closed the door behind her.
She walked to the bride and placed her hands in her shoulders.
"Remember what you told me that day in the restaurant bathroom, I hope you would recognize that Xander is no longer yours" Randy said and she wanted to something back to her. She couldn't as the door opened.
"Get ready to step out" the young female worker that opened the opened the door said.
"Goodluck, you need it" Randy said and checked herself one last time in mirror before leaving.

Hermia and Mike worked down the isle with her arm around his. The two sides of the isle was filled with guest who sat down with drinks and snacks in front of them.
The couple got to the front of the priest and waited for him to start the program.
They both said their vows to each other, which was a short written note since Mike wanted to make things more romantic.
"If you are against the wedding of this two people please signified now or found hold your peace" the priest said, staring at the congregation for any opposition.
As he was about to continue the closed hall doors opened and Alexander Cage walked in. He walked on the isle the couple had used to get the priest.
"I oppose this marriage because the bride is still married to me" He said ever so calmly.
