MORE THAN A SECRETARY

He didn’t see her for most of the next day, he was locked up in a meeting with the old man and other competitors while she was busy with the women, the only time he saw her during the day was when they went to eat lunch and they couldn’t talk much because all the women were camped together, they just said a greeting to each other in passing, and by the time they finally got to meet each other again it way passed nine pm and they were both too exhausted to talk about what happened the previous evening, one thing he knew for sure was that he wanted her, he didn’t know just how to stop himself, he knew this was a wrong move, that it might ruin everything but as he watched her sleep that night, he knew beyond any doubt that he wanted this woman and he would have her, he just hope he wasn’t making a mistake that will cost him, someone, he trusted.

The meeting with the old man was okay because from what he saw through his chances were still not huge enough the people he really, had to compete with were not much, he was way ahead of the other three and his main competitor was Pascal whose family deal more on technology, he couldn’t deny the fact that they were loaded compound with the fact that Pascal is married and also the fact that, his father and Reuben had been really close back in their days, but that wasn’t gonna stop him though, his determination to get that property just shot up a hell lot more.

“Good morning Kat,”

He said when he saw her open her eyes, she looked beautiful even though she just woke up and her hair and face were in disarray.

“Good morning, what time is it?”

She asked running her hands through her hair and rubbing her eyes, he had the sudden urge to go over there and do it for her.

‘You will get yourself in trouble, stop it!!!’ he mentally scolded himself.

“After Eleven,” he answered at last.

“Holy! Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You looked so tired I would be a devil to do that, you worked hard yesterday, good job,”

“It’s nothing, it was easier than I thought,”

“It’s because you are so clever,”

“For real, anyway what’s on the schedule today? I don’t even know and I am supposed to be your secretary,”

“Don’t, there is nothing on today, except a get together later today by evening, so you can rest all day,”

“Oh really? That’s nice,”

“Yeah, what do you want to do?”

“I wanted to explore the resort when I got here two days ago but we have been busy,”

“Okay, once you take a bath and eat we can go do a little exploring, what do say about that?”

“I love it, I will go bath now,”

She said excitedly and left the room, she looked super excited about it and he liked it.

While she was taking her bath he called room service and had them bring her a late breakfast.

“This taste good, I wanna meet the chef here, he or she is so good, I wish I can cook like this too,”

“Your food tastes nice too,”

“That’s what you say, but Jord and my mom would beg to differ, they don’t let me in the kitchen because according to them I am a disaster,”

“Wow, I didn’t know you and him are that close,” he replied feeling somewhat jealous of the guy, how great was it to be close to this an,

We are, I told you we grew up together, he is my best friend,”

“Yeah, I forgot again, my bad, you never talk about your mom and das much though,”

He voiced since he knew her this was the first time she mentioned her mum to him.

“Well, I can’t just go about mentioning my family everywhere right?”

“But you know about my family,”

“That’s because you are the boss, and you sometimes tell me to do things for your family,”

“That’s true but still,”

“Fine, my mom, dad, and younger sister both live in New York too and I sometimes go and visit, very rarely because I am always, but they don’t mind though,”

He felt guilty for being the reason she wasn’t meeting up with her family much, his dad would be mad at him if he doesn’t show up often and Arizona is far from New York unlike her parents that are in the same city as her.

“I am sorry Kat, for keeping you away from your family,”

“For real? You are not the one keeping me away, I work, not like you cage me, and you pay me for my work, my family is pretty much busy so even if I have time, they won’t, my sister just started her acting career and my mom and dad runs a business that keeps them busy, they run a fashion school,”

“Wow, why didn’t you join the family business?”

“Because, as much as I like fashion, it’s not for me, when I was younger I had interest but when I became a teenager, I lost all interest, I rather see a finished product than be there during the production,”

“Hmm, okay,”

“Why? Are you disappointed because I didn’t show interest in my family business? And prefer to do something else?”

“I am ñot, I am sorry if that’s how it seemed to you,”

He apologized, she looked offended and he didn’t like the fact that he made her annoyed.

“Again, he said sorry,”

She said rolling her eyes.

“It’s becoming a habit right?”

He had been apologizing to her a hell lot and he has noticed too, he even apologized for kissing her, which he has never done before, he has never apologized for kissing someone.

“Yes, it is, you are apologizing for more than you have ever done in the past six years, in fact, you never apologize before, you just point out reasons, and then that’s it, even if you are wrong,”

“Eww, what a horrible boss,”

“Yeah, thank God you finally know, anyway I am done eating so can we leave now, I wanna admire the beauty of this place,”

She said getting up and carrying her bag, before picking up the dish she used.

“Leave the dish here, room service will pick it up,”

He said getting up.

“My bad, I thought I was at home,”

“Right let’s go sightseeing,”

They headed out of the room, first, they went over to the reception and got their pass and a key to a tricycle, and before long they were going up the hill.

“Wow, this is so pretty, California is so beautiful,”

She said looking down at the city with so much excitement in her, she looked so pretty with her long curly her down, the dress she had on fitted her perfectly bringing out her gorgeous shape, he knew he shouldn’t be checking her out but he couldn’t help it, he remembered how her lips tasted when he kissed her and licked his lip, he wanted her, he wondered how he went six whole years with her around and nothing happening between them, he suddenly wanted whatever shield that had kept him from lusting over her for the past six years back, because right now he was having thoughts he knew he shouldn’t be having, especially with this woman.

“Let’s go over to the other side,”

She said excitedly, he followed behind her watching her.

“You are in trouble Lucas, get your act together,”

He told himself, but that didn’t help, he wanted this woman so bad, he didn’t know how to stop himself.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“The world is made up of beautiful places,”

“I agree,” he answered even though he knew he had not even checked the resort out, he was too busy checking her out.

“I kinda wish I live in this part of the earth,”

“Why?”

“Well for one, nature, two, it less noisy and busy here unlike New York,”

“There are busy places in California too, a hell lot of them,”

“I know but you can’t compare it to New York,”

“I agree,”

“See, now can you please take a picture of me?”

She asked giving her phone to him, he took it and took a few pictures of her.

“They are so pretty, lets take a selfie,”

She invited, he wasn’t much of a picture person and would have said no on a norm but nothing about this trip was normal, so he agreed.

“I am sorry Kat, but I think we have to go back now,”

He announced when he checked the tome, they have spent over two hours on the field.

“Another sorry, I have lost count, let’s go,”

She said and headed towards where they parked the tricycle, he followed behind her wondering just how he would spend the remaining days here with her on the same bed without touching or wanting her, he had to find a way, because he knew Kat was a woman of commitment and he didn’t have that to offer. That alone should bring him to his senses, he hoped.
