After much thinking about my marriage, I didn't even know when I drifted off to dreamland.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER.
I woke up. Still in the daze of my sleep, I looked at the wall clock below the surface of the wall...It was 6:00pm.
I've never slept that late eversince the night with Abigeal.
"Jamie....Jamie, wake up" I said.
"What do you want now devil?Can't you see that I'm enjoying my beauty sleep?Leave me alone for once!" She replied.
"I've got work to do.....I don't have time to deal with your nonsense...If you don't get up now, you are fired once we get back to Country A" I roared before heading to the bathroom.
"What nonsense! I am not going to lose an important contract just because of some irresponsible P.S.A" I thought.
"Hey Aaron....don't spend hours in there and please call someone to get me clothes" She said faintly.
I wonder who gave this adventurer daughter the right to tell me what to do.
I was very slow with my bath. I was done under 45 minutes. The meeting won't be holding until 12pm but I don't why I had the sudden urge to tease her.
"Are you a mermaid?How long are you going to stay in there?It's going to affect you not me if you spend hours in there...It's nearly 8pm...keep bathing merman" She said.
"All ladies enjoy a man taking his time in the bathroom except you...I'm even starting to wonder if you are a female as you claim to be" I said teasingly.
"It's you who is not a male....dufus" She retorted.
"Whatever...please pass me the towel.....it's above my suitcase" I said.
"You have sincerely lost it. Why can't you take your towel with you when you were going in?" She asked.
"Stop goofing around...we are already late" I kept teasing.
JAMIE POV
I wonder who I have ever offended to line my path with this devil incarnate.
I took the towel and headed straight to the bathroom door.
"Knock knock...I'm with the towel" I said.
"Please come in....I'm in the tub...you can just drop it by the sink" He said with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"You can't be serious right...you are crossing the limit of my kindness. Go get someone else to do this" I replied.
"......please" He said.
"Woah...I never knew the devil could ever say please" I thought.
Well, here goes everything.
I entered the bathroom with the towel on my shoulder...I walked towards the sink to drop the towel.
As I was about to take my leave.I felt a strong arm around my waist. I instantly knew who they belong to.
Before I knew it.....I was soaked by the tub water.
Aaron dared to pull me into the tub.
"No one ever make me say please" He said with a smirk.
He lured me here...The guy was actually dressed in another pyjamas.....meaning he took additional clothes to the bathroom and used the excuse of not having a towel to get me here...What a scum bag.
"But I did" I retorted angrily.
Before I knew it....He kissed me on the lips.
Why on earth does he always do that.
"Mmmmmm, let me go" I said struggling to escape his grasp.
He still did not let me go.
I tried not to give in but my body betrayed me. This is so not me.....I don't know why I always get this strange sense of familiarity whenever he kiss me.
I was lost in his kiss, until he finally let me go.
"You are always talking about being a dignified woman but why were you enjoying my kiss? That proves me right, I can conquer any woman with any little gesture of mine" He said smirking.
"You beast.....you are just a spoilt brat. Don't think that I'm like every other woman. You are nothing but a playboy who has hurt a lot of ladies. I hate you. Please get out. You wouldn't want to get late.....would you" I asked.
After he left.....I started sobbing. I didn't even know that my self control was very low. Even when I was with James, I wasn't like this.
I started hitting my self because I manage to fall for that" good for nothing's" trick.
After 15 minutes of bathing, I went back to the room.
When I got there, I saw different kind of office wear with shoes and accessories.
"So this is the way he bribes women...typical playboy" I thought.
"Are you going to stare or choose anyone. Knowing women are extremely materialistic, you can take everything" He sneered.
" Women are indeed materialistic but not all. I only need one.....Immediately, I'm through with today's work, I'll dryclean it and return it back to you.....I'm not some church rat who needs the help of man to take care of herself" I said with a hint of anger.
"Suit yourself....You have twenty minutes to dress up. Immediately you are done, join me in the breakfast hall" He amsaid before leaving.
All the clothes were too obvious showing it was the latest edition.
I picked the one which was not too attractive. It was perfect.
The perfect dress for my class.
I walked towards the breakfast hall gracefully with a fake smile plastered across my face.
I sat down four seat away from Aaron clearly showing him that I don't want to be near him.
We ate our breakfast in silence.
"Let's go...we are already late" He said coldly.
I stood up and followed him.
I was about to catch up to him when I slipped.
I thought this was going to be the end. I'm going to embarrass my self.
I closed my eyes envisioning my fall when I felt strong arms encircling my waist.
I opened my eyes only to see James.
"I must be hallucinating" I thought.
I pinched my arm twice because I thought this was Deja vu.
Turns out it was James.
"Thank you" I said.
"You are welcome" He replied before letting me go.
My mind was in turmoil. There were several questions on my mind like what was James doing here?
