Chapter Nine: Phone.I KNOW that the moment I kissed Brandon, I will never have the chance to step back. Biting my lower lips, I knocked on Donna’s door. It’s been a while since we saw each other and I badly needed to tell her everything!Donna in her royal blue nighties was raising her right brow when she opened the door for me, her hair was tied in a bun, while her arms crossed over her chest.“What do you want?” she asked in a grumpy tone. “It’s been a month since you visited me!”“I have peach mango pie!” I showed her the paperbag I was holding. “Your favorite!”“Sorry, but my favorite has changed in the last two weeks! Since you’ve forgot your best friend, you didn't have any update on what’s my favorite or not—”“We kissed!” I stopped her by saying the most exciting part of what I am about to tell her.Her eyes widened. “Oh my God! Within a month, you’ve already kissed?” I hid my smile when she got curious about it. “I thought you don't like peach mango pie?” I asked.Without h
Chapter Ten: Dangerous.OUR steamy office romance was thrilling. It has been a month and we started to share each other’s heat. Thankfully, no one noticed what we do inside his office.“Good morning, Sir!” We all greeted him when he went inside.Brandon slightly winked and smiled at me before he continued walking. I bit my lower lip to hide my smile. How could he do that when there are lots of eyes looking at him?“Did he wink?” Ales asked.I blinked and shook my head before I sat down and continued typing on the computer, making his schedule for next week.“I don't know, I didn't see it,” I replied.“These past few weeks, I’ve noticed he’s smiling often and he’s in a good mood. Do you think he has a new girlfriend?”I shrugged. Girlfriend… we are not on that stage yet. We have no labels, just sharing each other's bliss of heat. I know it might last but I won't let that happen. Falling in love with me was my intention, and I was hoping that it will work by doing this.The phone beside
Chapter Eleven: Mad. I TRIED my best to hold back whatever that’s running into my mind. Whatever that he was talking about with Evan yesterday bothered me. I wanted to ask but I didn’t want to be a nuisance to him. Knowing that my plan was succeeding, I don't want to add fuel in between and let it burn into ashes. That wasn’t part of my business after all, so why do I care? “Did you see Sir Evan, yesterday?” Milly asked. I ate lunch with them today. I told Brandon to lessen our meet up every break because I don’t want other employees to notice that we are doing something inside his office. We have been eating lunch together for four consecutive days and I can feel how other employees are reacting to it. “Mmm, yeah. Why?” I replied. Milly shrugged. “Sir Evan was Sir Brandon’s right hand, didn’t you know?” I raised my brow. “Right hand?”“Yeah. He was like the most trusted person of Sir Brandon,” she replied. Sticking the sausage on my pork, I nodded. “Why did you bring it up an
Chapter Twelve: Sleepwalk.Brandon’s Point of View:I KNEW that I used to hate it whenever an employee made a mistake on their job. I scold them and spit painful words even though I know that it could hurt them. For me, it will help them grow as an employee and a person. Receiving criticism didn’t mean it should destruct a person’s life. It depends on the person on how they would handle it.The entire day I was mad because of those employees. But then whenever I saw Kayla’s bosom, slightly showing off her v-line, I couldn’t help but get even madder. What the fuck is wrong with her? Why did she wear a dress when she knew we would go inspect restaurants? My dick was hard the whole time we were inspecting restaurants!“Come on, babe…” I bit my lower lip.My dick grew harder the moment I saw her brown eyes dart on my aching length. She dropped her bag on the floor and then slowly, sexily walked towards me. When she was finally right in front of me, she lowered her head and then left a sof
Chapter Thirteen: What Am I To You?I PANICKED after waking up with the sweat beading on my forehead. Still panting, I turned my head to Brent that was supposed to be lying beside me only to find out that he wasn’t there, I quickly stood up and ran outside our room.“Brent!” I exclaimed.My heart was pounding so hard that I couldn’t hear anything aside from it.“Brent! Brent! Baby? Where are you—”“Kayla? What happened?” Still catching my breath, I caught my chest while looking at Mom who looked worried and bothered by my reaction.“Mom, where’s Brent?” I asked nervously, my eyes pooled in tears.Mom shook her head, turning his attention to the kitchen table. From there I saw Brent drinking his milk. I bite my lower lip and then let out a heavy sigh.“I thought something bad happened to him.” A sob escaped my lips.“What are you talking about? Did you had a nightmare? Brent woke up earlier than you today. It’s still early so we didn’t disturb your good sleep. Really, Kayla? What happ
Chapter Fourteen: Ex-girlfriend.EVERYONE was so excited when I got into the office. Actually, there was an announcement last week about having a company outing. They told us that we are going on a volunteer and then after that, we will check in at a hotel nearby. That hotel was also MFC’s business partner so they don’t have to worry about the expenses.I am occupied with what happened between me and Brandon yesterday that I forgot to bring my things. I regretted letting myself overthink Brandon who seemed doesn’t care about my feelings.“Are you excited about volunteering at iCare Children’s Hospital, or you’re excited about what might happen later?” Ales asked Milly.Milly’s busy sorting things in her baggage. From what I know, we only have one night to stay there. Why did she bring too much?“That’s for a one-night stay. What more if we stayed a week? You’re bringing your entire house in there!” Ales exclaimed.“Why do you care?” Milly asked, arching her brow.“I don’t care—Kayla!”
Chapter Fifteen: Gifts.“KAYLA, here!”Ales gave me the three boxes of gifts for the children here in the hospital. Inside the box consists different kinds of things that every child needed. Like books, toys, candies, or clothes to help them at least be happy that they got to have that kind of gift when they were always hospitalized.“Thank you,” I replied.I put down the three boxes on the table, flipping on the first pink box on its side to see the names of the recipients. I saw the first name, Jade Darwin, and her room number; 205.“Oh. Jade… please be gentle with her,” Ales said in a warning tone.Taking the box in my hand, I turned my gaze to Ales. “We should be gentle to every child in here, Ales.”He shrugged. “Jade, she’s a different case. She has anger management issues and is a spoiled brat.”“Mmm, let’s see.”I didn’t know why but what Ales said didn’t make me feel nervous. I know how to handle a child because Brent used to throw tantrums when he was still two to four years
Chapter Sixteen: Jealous.He was holding Sara’s waist while we were all watching how the children watched and get amazed about nature. Watching the documentary in three dimensional is amazing but I couldn't help but to felt jealous of Brandon and Sara who were acting sweet beside me. “Are you okay?” Milly asked.We’re done with the volunteer, and we’re on our way to the resort. Brandon wants me to be in his car but I insisted on joining the other employees in their van. Although Brandon seemed disappointed in my decision, he let go of me. I’m sure from now on, he already knew that I am not okay with Sara being around us. I am not fine being their driver while they flirt behind me. Hell, the last time we were okay, he was banging me inside his office. And now… never mind!“I’m okay, just a little tired,” I replied.“You can take a nap on our way! Get some rest or you’ll regret not enjoying the night because you’re tired,” she said and then winked.I agreed with her and so I laid back
