Maria's POV
Its been 2 weeks since i started working at the company, and I must say it has been awesome with a lot of buts. I hardly had time for myself or my friend. Speaking of Emma, she was already complaining on how i had forgotten her, and i don't call anymore, and i totally understood. Work was so demanding.
I wake up by 8am everyday, get to
I'm work before 9am, work till 7pm, and whenever i get back I'm usually very tired and i have to prepare for work the next day. I did the normal routine of picking a grey pencil skirt and a blue long sleeved top with a white pair of heels before i went to shower. after i showered, i got dressed and packed my hair up in a bun.The bus finally arrived but it as full of people so I had to squeeze myself in and stand, after a couple of minutes, i finally got to my work building and i got off the bus. I entered into the office and saw the receptionist who waved at me with a smile and ofcos i waved back.
" I don't even know her name" i thought.
I walked to the elevator (yeah i now use the elevator) and pressed the sixth floor as the elevator doors closed slowly. The elevator finally stopped at the sixth floor then the doors opened quietly, and i walked to my office, i dropped off my bag and placed an order for coffee for my boss. Mr. Ramirez loved his coffee black and with alot of sugar.
The coffee was delivered just 30minutes after i ordered and that was 2minutes after Mr. Ramirez got into his office, so i took the coffee and headed to his office. when i got to his door i knocked before i opened the door gently.
I placed the coffee down on the desk in front of him. Today was the final day of the 1month deadline he placed on me and i'd been extra careful to reach every task given to mean.
He lifted his head and our eyes met, I looked into his topaz eyes, finding the courage to say what I'd realized today. The next thing i know, I'm in Javier's arms, he wrapped me into his chest and wrapped his arms tightly around me. "I've been thinking of how you'd feel in my arms when i finally get to hold you" He whispered. The next thing his lips were on mine, kissing me. He wasn't holding back, he kissed me with pent-up passion, and i just know what it feels like to be kissed by a hot blooded male.
Javier picked me up from the floor and picked me up by my waist (just like in my dreams) and i wrapped my legs around his waist for support, all the while never breaking the kiss. This felt so right but deep within me i had to stop this. I pushed him away and he didnt take that likely because when he turned to face me that passioned filled face was terror filled. He looked like he could strangle me and the next thing he said was
"Get out" and i rushed for the door, before he shouted "Wait". I halted immediately
"We are leaving for New York in the next 3 hours, so get prepared" he ordered
"But Sir"... i barely said before he interrupted me
"No buts Ms Lopez" He said sternly.
I left the office thinking of the events that just occured in the space of 30 minutes and how it all changed. I bet no lady has ever turned him down, hence his reaction, I hope this doesnt cause me my job.
He looked like a rejected puppy though i giggled.
Javier's POV
I had to be at the office on time, but i was totally drained from last nights clubbing. I didn't have to go to work so early and not because i had something to do, just so i can see how early Maria gets to the office. She's been good i must confess, i had no regrets hiring her. but what i couldn't wait for was to get her in my bed. She was really driving me nuts with that luscious body of hers.
I finally got to the office, walked to the elevator and headed for the 6th floor. When i got to the 6th floor, i got into my office sat down. My morning coffee was yet to get to me, i so i called Maria to get it. in the next 2 minutes i got a knock on my door "come in" i said.
Maria came in with a cup of coffee on one hand and a couple of files on the other one. As she placed the coffee and the files on the desk, I took the time to look at her properly. When Maria had entered the room, it had taken me awhile to recognize her. With her hair down (she rarely wore it down, always wrapped in a ponytail or bun).On top of that she was putting on a dress rather than her usual shirts. It hugged her in all the right places and for the first time I noticed just how perfect she was. Long legs, slender waist and a heart shaped face with bangs hanging loosely around her face. One way or the other, I always found myself thinking about her.
When she'd defend herself when i tried to piss her off "gosh, she looked very pretty when angry" i thought. I'd felt some kind of respect for her. She knew where loyalties lied but yet she stood for what was right. She had a strong moral compass and a backbone of steel that she displayed from the very start, and didn't seem like someone who could be easily bought with money as i thought (not that id tried too much yet).
Suddenly, our eyes met and i got held by those beautiful pair of hazel eyes. The next thing i know she's in my arms, i held unto her with every muscle alive in me. It felt damn right.
I lifted my head and our eyes met, I looked into her hazel eyes, it is either now or never, i had to make a move, The next thing i know, I held her in arms, I wrapped her in my arms "I've been thinking of how you'd feel in my arms when i finally get to hold you" i whispered. The next thing my lips were on hers, kissing her. I wasn't holding back, I kissed her with pent-up passion, and i just couldnt think of stopping, cos it felt damn right.
I picked Maria up from the floor and picked her up by her waist (i've dreamt of doing this lately, can't believe she's finally in my arms) and she wrapped her legs around my waist for support, all the while never breaking our kiss. This felt so right and i didnt want to stop. The next thing she pushed me away and i didn't take it likely because no woman had ever turned me down or rejected me, i did the rejection no one else did, iwas so pissed and i didnt know when i shouted "Get out" and i could tell i startled her with the way i shouted
And then i said "Wait". causing her to halt immediately.
"We are leaving for New York in the next 3 hours, so get prepared" I ordered "Go and get prepared"
"But Sir"... she barely said before I interrupted her
"No buts Ms Lopez" I said with a hard grin on my face.

I needed to get to my apartment and get some stuffs, since he said we'd be leaving for New York in the next few hours."He doesn't care about other people" I thought while trying to catch a bus. I got to my apartment within 30 minutes. As soon as I got in, o grabbed my traveling bag and started parking my things. "Oh, I needed to inform Emma about my trip, so she wouldn't be worried about me" I thought out loud. I picked up my phone and called her"Hey bitch" Emma shouted"Hahhahahahaha, bitch I missed you" I said"Missed you too, I'll be coming to spend the weekend at your place, what do you think?" She asked"That's why I'm calling babe, I'll be leaving for New York with my boss in the next few hours for a business meeting over the weekend and I
Maria's POVJavier showed me my room, and i got settled in. I was so tired, so i took a nap, when i got up i quickly had my shower and picked out a dress (a short body hug gown that showed off my curves). Javier had already told me to rest, before heading to his room which was just opposite mine.I walked to the dressing table and picked up my phone, that was when i realized i had missed calls, all from Javier, just when i was about to call back i heard a knock on my door. I rushed to quickly get a robe to cover up properly, but before i could get to the wardrobe Javier had already come in.He was shocked and his gaze didn't leave me, I felt like he was undressing me with his eyes, and before i knew it we met each other halfway, Javier's arms coming around me .
Maria POVIt was dark when I woke up, I tried to get family with my environment, then I remember what I'd done and with whom, Javier was no where around.I blushed when I remembered every thing we did last night.The next morningWe had the meeting, some top staffs from Franco enterprises came and it didn't take long before we finally came to a conclusion. We finally ended the meeting and exchanged handshakes, as the deal was finally done and sealed.During the meeting I tried to avoid the glance Javier was throwing in my direction. Each time I looked at him, I could only think of the activities of last night and that made my cheeks redden a bit. He was literally undressing me with his eyes.After the meeting, I started gathering the files on the table, when I noticed Javier coming towards my direction with a smirk on his face, and I knew he had something up his sleeves.He came behind m

So Javier didn't have the decency to face me this morning by himself after everything we did together, anyways I didn't expect much from him a man whore.But I couldn't help but think why he slept with another girl, wasn't I good enough. Tears started rolling down my eyes, it was too late I had already fallen in love with Javier Ramirez and I was long gone.2 Hours laterMy bags were all packed and I was dressed
Maria's POVI got to the office earlier than usual, It was a Monday morning and I had to work on some of the files that would be used for the Franco deal, I hoped and prayed that I'll have little or no contact with Javier.While I was preparing the file, I got a call from Javier. Seeing his call sent shivers down my spine and I was just lost even while looking at my phone ring."He's still your boss" I thoughtI picked it up with shaky hands"Maria, John will be coming to the office to get me the Franco files because I won't be coming around at least for the next one month" he saidAnd the line went off."He won't be coming to work, why?" I kept wondering, was he also trying to avoid me.John came later in the day and I gave him the Franco files as Javier had requested. But I had to as k John the reason for Mr. Ramirez absence, but John wasn't able to give a good explanation so I bade him farewell a
Maria's POVIt was a Monday mourning and I needed to be at work. I still felt sick, woke up late and I had to rush so I could at least get to the office before 10am.By the time I got to the office, Javier was already in his office, and from what the receptionist Sarah told me he'd asked of me earlier. As soon as I dropped my bag I headed to his office. I wasn't ready to face him, but my job was on the line do I braced up and entered his office. Somehow i got angry and I was filled with a lot of confidence.I squared my shoulders to summon courage to face Javier but the second I saw his face, my determination and courage flew out of the window when images of what happened some months back flashed back to my mind.He raised his brow the moment he noticed my presence. "So you now co
Maria's POVI woke up with a bad headache, and when I opened my eyes I realized I was in a hospital. Then I remembered the call I received before everything went blank.And then the tears started flowing all over again."I need to be strong" I told myself .I hoped my mum and dad will forgive me, that kept calling me to come visit at least once. I recalled my mum's pleas"Baby try and come home, your and I father have been worried sick about you" she said.I had failed too by getting pregnant without being married, that was against our faith. I couldn't control the tears, so I let it flow.I kept wondering who brought me here though, could it be Javier.I kept carrying until I slept off again.When I woke up I saw Javier seated beside me, he came closer the moment he realized I was awake. He looked like he'd been worried. I didn't want to deceive myself any further, so I kicked the tho
Maria's POVJavier took me to the registry where we got legally married. He also made it clear that the marriage was temporal, and i was forced to sign couple of documents, as the marriage was more like a contract. And while we where going to be at his parents house we'd act like we where in love and happily married.Javier and I used the private jet to get to the villa. I had to accept my date of marrying Javier even if I knew it was going to be hell on earth, he'd assured me that already.The villa is very big and beautiful, and each building was owned by the Ramirez family, what a beautiful sight to behold.As soon as we got in an elderly couple came to welcome us.
