1789words
"Uhmm, no, I mean, I am staying here. You should bring lunch, we will all eat together."
At first, I thought I heard her wrong. Did she say the word "Together" together? Is she serious? Is she in her senses?
She blinks at me and then gives me a small smile, "Don't look at me like this, please, I am a normal person." She says and then adds, "So, what if my own people have betrayed me in the past."
Oh, she is mentioning the past which means she is fine.
"Uh, I'll bring the food then," I tell her and then walk out of the hospital, still my mind stunned from her changed behavior.
I sit in my car and drive away, "Together" Tessa's words keep ringing in my ears and my lips subconsciously curve upwards but instantly it falls when I remember our time in the kitchen and the words she had said to me in there spoiling my whole mood.
FLASHBACK
My temples hurt so bad no matter how hard I press the headache won't stop. Tessa's words have messed up my mind. Irrationally, stumbling, I leave the kitchen. Did Ann really drug me last night? Why?
She had drugged me before to get me close to Tessa and give her a child, but this time, it shouldn't be about the child, but something else, but what it could be?
With a blank mind, I reached Ann's floor and didn't find her at all. It pisses me off when I realized that at this time Ann should have gone to her office.
I walk back to my floor, changing into my suit, I head towards Ann's office instead of mine. Everyone greeted me respectfully as I enter and Ann's secretary's smile brightened while seeing me approaching.
"Ann." I open my mouth and she interrupts, which I don't like her to do but still, she keeps doing it.
"Miss Swan has gone to the sight visit, she will be back after lunch," she says with a sweet smile that is more than necessary, I wonder how she will react when I will leak my wedding news to my beautiful wife, Tessy.
I doubt if that day would ever come in my life.
"Fine, I'll wait in the office then." I march towards Ann's room and then get inside before her secretary will speak another word from her mouth.
BOOM
I sit on the sofa feeling extremely tired, why am I feeling so pathetic today maybe because of last night? I lean back on the sofa, trying to remember last night, was I harsh with Tessa? She slapped me, so of course, I was. But why didn't she stop me? Or maybe I didn't listen.
My heart starts to sink in the mud of guilt and slowly my lids start to get heavy.
****
"Come, I'll help you, Andrew." The words hang in the air, I feel myself burning, lava inside me has erupted. I am shivering from the immense heat but I am strong I will pass through this.
Soon, I am laying on the bed, a soft petal rubs my skin from time to time lowering the heat of my body, then I see a silhouette, a gorgeous silhouette of my lady, my Tessy, the scar remains at her lower abdomen and I flinch.
No, don't go there.
Suddenly it is dark all over, but I feel the softness on me, the heat starts to subside slowly.
Something wet and cold on my neck makes me shiver, and I want more of this. It's soothing. The wetness starts to get lower and every second makes my breath hitch.
I hold onto something, soft and firm, I trace my hands at the softness, it's cold and relaxing.
Then something very different hits me inside, I feel the warmth that's been missing from my life for a long time, and here starts my pleasure, now there is no heat, but something different, pleasurable, I am protesting wanting more of it but someone won't let me.
What the F**k…
It's hell irritating.
Slowly, my mind gets clear taking the image of a woman on top of me who is seducing me, giving me pleasure, yet irritating me to hell.
Cluelessly, I grip the soft molds, lowering them to me, and then devouring them from my mouth when a muffled scream comes into my ear and I smirk, that's it. I know what to do but then suddenly, something forces my head to lean back.
I smirk, the woman seems irritated, the movement starts to get fast and I groan. It's too many feelings at one time and I am unable to control them.
"Tessy."
The name escapes from my mouth and finally, I am able to get the face of the woman on top of me, that's Tessy, of course.
Her body tenses and I know she is close, I give her what she wants and then embrace her in my arms, in a swift motion, she is under me and I hurriedly take off the cloth covering my eyes just to see deeply into the sea blue eyes, a whole ocean of my happiness.
This is what I wanted, always wanted, this is the woman I had been yearning for, her lips dry and red, and my yearning comes back wanting to devour her. I am lost with this emotional battle and leaning down, I intend to take what has always been mine, when suddenly the words surround the air around me, "Don't kiss me…"
THUD
The door opens and my eyes flicker open while panting heavily, it feels like I have run a marathon. Keeping the hand at my pounding heart I try to calm it down.
"Are you alright, Sir?" Ann's secretary asks keeping a mug of coffee at the coffee table in front of me.
I nod my head, words seem to not be uttered out of my throat.
"I have prepared a coffee for you and already informed Miss Swan about your arrival." She informs me with the same sweet smile more than necessary one which I choose to ignore.
I nod my head curtly at her, hoping she would leave on her own, and she did with disappointment on her face.
My mind is still disoriented from the vigorous dream. I decided to wash my face so that would at least make me feel better. I splash the water on my face and then stare at my face in the mirror.
BOOM
Suddenly, all the flashes return and my jaw drops from the realization of what Tessa had done last night.
F**k, I thought I was the only one filled with lust but she proved me wrong.
God, this woman never leaves a chance to amuse me.
So, the hesitation, and guilt, that all comes from here. She knew everything and yet acted in front of me, wow, such a clever woman.
My lips curled upwards feeling pride for her. I am happy that at least even in my drug state she at least let me taste her even if I am not able to fully enjoy it but I am happy that she allowed me.
But the kiss, why was she afraid of kissing?
That's an unsolved theory at the moment. I walk back feeling better and relieved, sip my coffee with my mind still lingering on our passionate night, wish I wasn't drugged so then I would have enjoyed everything more and fully.
I keep waiting for Ann in her office but she never appears and neither answers my calls or messages, I wonder where she has gone.
"Bhutan?" I exclaim in complete shock, how could Ann leave so suddenly, and why?
"There have been a few issues, she needed to sort out, I am sorry, Sir." She speaks professionally and I try to suppress the urge to not break anything in the office.
Furiously, I storm out of the office, fine, Ann wants to play hide and seek then let's play it properly.
FLASHBACK ENDS
****
PRESENT
HONK … HONK …
A loud noise wakes me up from the daze and looking apologetically in the rearview mirror I hurriedly drive away as I am blocking others' way.
I intend to go back to the mansion to bring lunch but then my eyes fall on the pizza shop and I decided to buy pizza. I know Cyrus loves it and it's been a long time since I have eaten junk food with my Tessy.
A smile appears on my face remembering the time we used to eat junk food while hiding it from Ann.
Such fun doesn't exist in my life anymore.
Perhaps, with this small time left, I can enjoy my time with Tessy and Cyrus.
A dull pain hits my chest thinking of them leaving me but somehow I try to not feel bothered, I have to enjoy the times that are left.
I return to the hospital with pizza boxes, salads, cookies, and drinks. As I had expected Cyrus's eyes light up after seeing the pizza box in my hands, he rushes to me and hugs my leg, praising me in excitement.
"Yeah, daddy knows I wanted to eat Pizza."
I chuckle at his innocent remark and feel the warmth from his loving gesture toward me. In the beginning, I had thought it would be difficult to make a bond with him but slowly I realized that once you will get him his favorite food he would be all yours.
I smirk, and then keep the boxes at the table. I crouch down and hold Cyrus up in my arms, "Come, let's clean your hand before we start to eat."
I set the table and wait for his mother to appear. I wonder where she had gone, leaving Cyrus alone in the room.
And there she appears, "You're back." She says while eyeing the food at the table and Cyrus who had been eagerly waiting to swallow everything down to his stomach.
"Where did you go?" I ask casually while keeping a slice of pizza on a paper plate and handing it to Cyrus, he takes it happily and begins to eat while I put another slice for Tessa and then hand her the plate.
"I have gone to check on Aaron," She replies.
"You shouldn't have left Cyrus alone." I show my dissatisfaction and instead of ignoring me, or showing me her disapproval, she nods her head in acceptance, "I will be careful next time."
BOOM
The pizza slice literally drops from my hand when her words come out and resign in my mind, why has she become so polite and calm all of sudden?
