Episode 14
Scarlet’s Pov~
The car st©pped moving and the driver c@m£ out to open the door for me. I stepped out and was amazed to see the person waiting near to the entrance of the Grand Restaurant.
He is 6 feet tall, has got shiny black hair kept in style, de-ep dark eyes which is now focused on me and he is looking all h0t wearing a simple white shi-t and black suit.
Right now he is standing in front of me with a hvge smile and I just stood there in awe.
“Derek!”
Derek is mine and Taylor’s best friend. We graduated together and then he had to go to Chicago for his dream job. Tonight I am meeting him after 6 months.
“Scarlet…You look stunning in this dress.” I thanked him for his compliment and we hvgged each other for a minute and then he guided me inside to the restaurant.
As the name suggests, this whole place is grand. Everything here looked way too expensive. But this guy, how come he is here? I have so many questions running in my mind.
We were taken to the t©p floor in a pri-vate section which is having a balcony with a beautiful view of the city and cool breeze was flowing inside the room.
“You didn’t even inform me that you are coming here in NY. Instead you lied to me that you are busy with your work. That’s so not fair!” I gave him a stern look and he chuckled.
“I wanted to surprise you. That’s all. See… I get all these amazing reactions from you when I surprise you like this. I didn’t want to miss it.”
“as-s-hole”
“Chill babes. There is a major project which is to be handled by me. And I have set up one of the headquarters here for my work so here I am.”
“Oh so you are here for work. Huh. And here I thought you missed us, so you c@m£ to spend some time with us. You’re definitely an as-s-hole.”
“Hahaha, well yeah I did miss you guys so I chose this location. So…
hey, I heard you are working for Pearce Industries.
Mm….I also saw some pictures of you on h0t News. Well, are you d@t!ngthat guy?”
“No…It’s false news.”
“Oh Okay!”
“So did you meet Taylor?” I asked him so that he doesn’t ask me further on Mr. Pearce and me.
“Hell yes. I surprised her too and she invited me over for today’s event. Tessa is awesome for organizing such events. And I must say…
You look… beautiful today. I mean… you are beautiful but…in this dress you look more beautiful.” He said in his low husky voice while looking straight into my eyes.
My cheeks turned pinkish and once again I thanked him for his compliment with a smile and a gentle nod. Though he is attrac-tive and all but I am not having any, that kind of feelings towards him. I see him as my best friend and that’s it.
“Hey, I am staying at a h0tel so can you suggest me some place where I can have an ap@rtment of my own. I am here for this whole year.”
I looked up at him and grinned.
“Yes. There’s a perfect place for you. The room next to us is a vacant one so you can check it out. We’ll be neighbors then.” I suggested him and then we decided to meet up the landlord tomorrow after my work.
Once our dinner was done, Derek and I got back to the charity event. We met up with Taylor and her parents. The event was still going on with few activities and some of them were in the food counter to fill their stomach.
Suddenly someone gr@bb£d my left hand and was dragging me away from the place.
It was Mr. Pearce and he was holding my hand with pressure. I tried to pu-ll my hand away from his ti-ght grip but it was paining and of no use.
“Mr. Pearce. Leave my hand. plea-se.”
No response.
He is not even looking at me and kept on dragging me ahead till we reached near to his car and pushed me in.
What is wrong with him?
I don’t un-derstand.
Tears formed in my eyes due to the pain and I was angry as well.
This is not the way you treat a girl.
Damn him!
Alexander’s POV….
I couldn’t take my eyes off of her while she stood on that stage looking so damn beautiful and the guys over here are all ogling her with their per-verted eyes. I don’t like it a bit.
fuc-king idiots!
I will win this bidding and her as well. She will be my d@t£ tonight and no other guy will l@ytheir hands on her or else they willfu-cking see hell on earth.
The bidding had just started and several people called out the bid one by one. But one person made a higher bid, James Morgan. He is one of my business rivals.
Another person called out a higher figure which irked James. I was waiting for the right time to call out the highest bid on her. Suddenly I got a text message from one of my project manager.
The message said that he wants me to meet now as soon as possible to check out an important detail. I had to leave but I can’t leave without winning this bid and d@t£ with her.
So I called up one my b©dyguard and gave him instructions to bid instead of me and a handwritten note for Scarlet.
She took a glance over at the crowd were I stood among others. I was looking at her intently and held the eye contact for two seconds then she looked away from me.
It was time and I had to leave now so I stood up and left.
An hour later….I c@m£ back to the event from my office after finishing up the work. The bidding event was over and so I checked with my b©dyguard regarding the result.
“Sir, Actually… I did called out the bid at the right time as per your instruction and was about to win it but someone new appeared from nowhere, called out a higher amount than ours and won the bid. I…I am so sorry.” He said with a tensed expression.
I glared at him and fired him. Idiot!
Scarlet was nowhere to be seen so I started searching for her and tried to contact her. Her cellphone is ringing but she is not answering it.
Damn women! Where the hell is she?
I was restless, angry and worried.
I contacted my friend Max to do a search and track her whereabouts.
I was sitting at a table all alone having a glas-s of champagne, waiting for a call from Max. Once when he will track her, I am going to drag her with me to my place.
She is such a stupid girl, unaware about her safety and going on a d@t£ with some unknown idiot.
Why is he taking so long to track her? I thought to myself.
I kept on checking my cellphone for any upd@t£ but nothing was on my phone. No messages nor calls from him neither her.
I was becoming impatient by every single minute that I kept on drinking more champagne.
After an hour, I stood up, turned around gr-abbing my cellphone and I saw her. She was standing along with a guy along with the Hope family and happy conversing with them.
I amfu-cking worried about her and trying to contact her and there she is smiling and enjoying her time with an unknown guy.
Seeing her with someone else made my blood boil so I headed straight towards their group, gr@bb£d her hand and dragged her along with me without uttering a word to her.
Episode 15
I can’t believe she was on a d@t£ with some random guy when I was all worried and tensed about her. I was just looking straight ahead with all these thoughts running in my mind.
She was trying to free her hand from my hold but I gr!pp£dmore ti-ghtly.
Soon we reached towards my car and I pushed her inside and headed off to my penthouse.
The car drive was silent. I pu-ll-ed the car into the parking lot of my building and c@m£ out of it. I held her hand once again and dragged her towards the elevator.
“Mr. Pearce. What the hell?” She got irritated and snapped at me.
I was taken aback but then I got pissed off.
I neared towards her but she took a step back.
“St©p…Don’t you dare come near to me. Or else….” she said while pointing a f!nger at me.
“What will you do?” I asked her challengingly and narrowed my eyes at her while taking a step towards her with a sm-irk.
Her eyes wi-de-ned and then she took a de-ep breath and was about to run. But I hoisted her up from her w@!st and held her b©dy onto my shoulder. She started beating me up on my back while protesting to put her down.
“Let go of me. What is wrong with you?”
I ignored her protests and stepped into the elevator. The elevator st©pped at the t©p floor and I stepped out from it and opened the door with my keycard. After entering I locked the door with a security pin lock.
It was dark inside but I didn’t turn on the lights instead headed straight into my be-droom. I r0ûghly put her onto my be-d and stood in front of her. She immediately sat up and I could see that she is pissed off.
I re-moved my suit jacket and threw it aside, pu-ll-ed up my shi-t sleeve and un-bu-ttoned it. She started to look away asked in a low voice,
“W…what the hell are you doing?”
“Why? Are you scared of me?” I was looking at her intently.
She immediately looked straight into my eyes and said,
“NO.” She immediately replied with confidence and stood up in front of me. I didn’t utter a word just stood there staring at her while trying to calm my anger. She moved past me but I pu-ll-ed her onto me.
“Where do you think you are going?” I asked her angrily.
“I am going Home.” She replied while pushing me aside. But I didn’t budge.
“Twofu-cking hours I was worried. Worried thinking where the hell you are? You were not even picking up your damn cellphone. Was he that interesting? That you avoided your my call.” I fumed at her.
“What?” She asked puzzled.
“You were with that guy, all smiling and having a gala time. While I was freaking out of my mind thinking about what happened to you?”
“I…I was with… ”
“Where did you go with him?
Did he take you to his ap@rtment?
He did. Didn’t he? Did he k!ssyou?
Did he t©uçh you?
She was quiet and that made me angry.
Answer me dammit!” I yelled at her harshly.
“plea-se st©p it, you’re drun!kand I am sorry for ma-king you worry about me. But in future, you don’t have to as I can take care of myself.
And as for all the questions that you have asked me, well that’s none of your business.”
That’s it. I was beyond angry.
I ti-ght£ñed my grip across her w@!st and held her closer to me. Her both hands held onto the collar of my shi-t ti-ghtly.
“Well, now it is my business. I want to know. Were you enjoying with him?”
“Alexander. It’s…”
Hearing my name from her mouth I couldn’t resist the urge, so I quic-kly k!$$£d her softl-ips pas-sionately while holding her w@!st with one hand and the other hand was holding the back of her head.
She was not k!ss!ngme back instead she stood there frozen. I could see that her eyes were closed.
I slowly started k!ss!ngher che
ek then gave feather light k!sses along her n£¢k and placed a soft k!ssin the hollow of her n£¢k. I heard her taking a sharp intake of breath. I was starting to feel her up by moving my hand from her w@!st to her upper p@rt of the b©dy.
Suddenly she pushed away both of my hands and sl@pped me across my face.
When I looked at her she was shocked and stood there covering her palms on her mouth.
“I…I am s…sorry.
I… I didn’t mean to hurt you.” She said while being scared.
I didn’t expect that sl@p from her and neither uttered a word to her.
Instead I took steps towards her and she moved back till she hit the be-d and fell onto it. I leaned closer onto her while placing both my hands on either sides of her b©dy.
She stiffened and I could see fear in her eyes and tears were forming and it made me st©p from going further.
I don’t want to hurt her but she made me angry and I can’t see her with someone else.
I got off from her and left her alone in my be-droom.
I stormed out into the living room in anger.
Sat on my couch and ran my hand throu-gh my hair while thinking about her and the guy.
Why do I care about her so much?
She is my damn PA.
Then why does my heart ache so much? These thoughts kept on running inside my mind forming a headache.
She was still inside the be-droom while I took out a bottle of champagne from my minibar and quietly sat outside the balcony.
Drank from the bottle and blocked all kinds of thoughts that are coming into my mind causing me pain and losing my temper.
As time pas-sed I have no idea what happened next as I closed my eyes and everything blacked out
Scarlet’s Pov~
What is happening right now? I can’t believe it. He is k!ss!ngme pas-sionately and I am frozen. I couldn’t respond to him as my mind was totally shut.
The only thing I hear and feel are my heartbeats pounding inside me.
He slowly started k!ss!ngmy left cheek and gave feather light k!sses along my jaw and placed a soft k!ssin the hollow of my n£¢k.
A shiver ran across my b©dy and I took a sharp intake of breath. He moved his hand from my w@!st to the upper p@rt of my b©dy but I pushed him away.
He sm-irked and took steps towards me while putting away his un-bu-ttoned shi-t. He is half n-ked and I was awestruck with his perfect b©dy.
I moved backwards till I hit the be-d and fell onto it. He hovered on t©p and leaned closer onto me while placing both of his hands on either sides of my b©dy.
His emerald green eyes were staring at me and I was getting all tingles all over my b©dy.
I like the way he looks at me.
I like when he is with me, I feel safe and this is all crazy but I feel something which I have never felt before.
He nuzzles at the hollow of my n£¢k and showers me with soft k!sses. His hand slowly travels down to the sides of my b©dy and st©ps at my bu-tt and he squee-zes it.
I immediately j£rked up, opening my eyes and stood up. Then I realized, it was just a dream. But a bit similar to it had happened yesterday night and I am still here at his ap@rtment.
Oh god! This is crazy.
Why did I dream something like that and most importantly….. I liked it. What is wrong with me?
Why was Alexander behaving so different yesterday? He was so angry at first and though I said that I am not scared of him, I definitely was.
The way he was looking at me, it made feel self-conscious and gave tingles inside my stomach. Argh…damn him.
I nee-d a warm bath to feel better and to calm my nerves also fresh clothes to change. I opened his closet, gr@bb£d a clean bath towel and a white shi-t with black bo-xer from his cloth rack.
After half an hour I was fresh and got dressed in his shi-t and bo-xer. Slowly, ti-p toeing I entered the living room to check up on him.
The couch was empty. Where is he? I thought to myself.
When I looked left, I saw him in the balcony, lying on floor slee-ping without any blanket looking breathtakingly handsome.
Damn. I should st©p crushing on him.
He is my boss.
Suddenly he stirred in his sleep and I froze for a second. His eyes were still closed so I quic-kly went inside and brou-ght a blanket out for him.
He must be feeling cold so I dR@p£d the blanket over him. Well, I do care for him.
Then I placed a glas-s of water and a tablet near to his side. He will definitely nee-d it later.
I went into the kitchen to prepare some breakfast and coffee for us.
The breakfast was re-ady and I placed it on the table for both of us. Just when I turned around, got collided with a strong muscly toned-up b©dy.
Alexander, he is up alre-ady now and staring at me intently. I was…well looking everywhere except at him and took a few steps back from him.
“Scarlet.” He said in his raspy morning voice which is actually S-xy and fluttery and….lord that’s it. St©p.
He took a step towards me and my heart was racing, I immediately looked at him while b!tt!g my lowerl-ip. He wore his shi-t which was un-bu-ttoned entirely showing off his r!pp£dupper p@rt of the b©dy.
“Don’t look at me like that.” He ordered in that same raspy voice while running his hand throu-gh his hair and inhaled a sharp breath.
To break this tensed atmosphere between us.
I said in a firm voice,
“Sir…Breakfast is re-ady. plea-se have it. And we are late for office.”
Suddenly his cell started ringing and he attended the call while moving to the balcony.
I nee-d to get out of here like right now.
“Scarlet.” He called out while coming towards me but once again his cellphone started ringing. He took a glance at it and then attended the call while looking at me.
Alexander: “Yeah. I know.”
The caller: ……
Alex: “Yes. Don’t worry.”
The caller: …….
Alex: “No. Estelle is coming over, she is bringing clothes for her and then we will be heading over to office.”
The caller: …….
Alex: “I don’t know. I will explain it to you later. I nee-d to go. Bye.”
Estelle? She is coming here! She is aware of me being here with him. Gosh this is too much to know all at once.
What will she think about me? Plus he is looking so deviously handsome while giving off his charm right now and I am getting chills standing with him in his ap@rtment. The feeling happening de-ep inside of me is what I am not able to control.
I just want to stay away from him. I really nee-d to…
It’s getting so h0t in here. Phew!
He neared towards me and I stood there frozen, my head is again getting blank and I can feel the heat rushing onto my face ma-king it blus-h with redness.
Suddenly he held me in his arms and captured myl-ips with his.
My heart skipped a beat.
I closed my eyes and placed both hands on the sleeves of his shi-t. I lost all of my s-en-se and felt like I am floating in the air.
And I like it…no I want him to k!ssme and hold me in his arms. Hisl-ips are so soft and add!çtive.
I don’t want him to st©p!
What? NO!!!
What the heck are you doing? He is your boss. And it’s not right and you will get hurt. It’s always better to avoid this feeling rather than getting your heart broken into millions of pieces in future.
My subconscious mind is ma-king me un-derstand the fact but my heart is s£nding me strong signals of want.
His t©uçh is giving off sparks inside me and I can’t imagine this is happening with me.
The doorbell made me jo-lt out of my current state and I pushed him forward with all my f0rç£. The k!sswas broken and he was so not happy with what I did.
