I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, looking at him with an annoyed look on my face."Where's your rag?" He went inside one of those mysterious doors and brought one.I wiped the floor clean of every spilled drop of water but Kol had something else on his mind. He was relentless. When he wanted something, he wouldn't rest until he got it and that was the answer to the question he had asked earlier."You didn't answer my question." He stood, arms akimbo like I owed him an answer. I didn't and I let him know that." I don't owe you an explanation." I scowled at him."Yes. Yes, you do." The b*stard. He'd been testing my patience all day and I had had it up to here."No, I f*cking don't. You're such an egotistical, rude, big-headed-a*s jerk. Not everything is about you." I was infuriated with him and tired of his antics. One minute he "No but everything is about you. You're suffocating, weird, annoying, uptight and most of all the most confusi..."We were chest to chest now, breat

"Yeah... you can shut your jaw now." Thea had been awe struck from the start of my story till the end. Not even a sound emanated from her mouth as she hung on to my every word."D*mn!" She sighed as she slumped against the bed."I know!" I said, unable to keep the grin off my face.We both looked at the ceiling for the longest of times, me ruminating on what had happened and her thinking of what to say. I thought of seeing him at work on Monday and my nerves jittered in anticipation. Of course, I had to be professional but it would be very hard to do just that."You owe me you know..." She smacked my hands "...and I was right.""What do you mean?" I peeked a glance at her. "Well, I led you to him and..." I cut her off"Nope. I was still going to meet him at the office." I rebuffed, my elbows propped up on the bed as I looked at her fully. "Just shut up and let me talk." She rolled her eyes, smacking me again. "At the bar, you definitely made an impression and probably got stuck on

Kol? No one I knew called Kol by that name except they were close to him and I'd never seen her before. So, who on earth was she? My eyes narrowed at her, willing her to explain further. When she didn't, I asked myself."In case you aren't aware, this is a work retreat for designers, not a vacation." "I'm aware." She rolled her eyes at me and my hands itched to grace her face."Kol said we could join.""We? Who's we?" I asked her but Dara cut in before she could reply."Ma'am, what's going on?" Dara asked, confusion also evident on her face.I looked backwards when I realised commotion had risen behind me.I squinted my eyes and saw that the crowd had doubled. "I also have no idea but I... wait!"I stopped talking when I saw Kol. I would've been happy to see him if I hadn't been so pissed at the situation. I marched straight to him."What the h*ll is going on?" I said low enough for only him to hear even though the crowd was almost deafening. People were clamouring, asking for clar

His eyes hardened at my statement. I looked away from his peering eyes."What do you mean?""This isn't appropriate for a work environment. People will talk." I said, all of a sudden finding the brown carpet in the room interesting. Completely sidelining my earlier thoughts."You think I give a rat's ass about what other people think?" He grabbed my jaw to look directly into my eyes. There was a softness in them that I wasn't expecting and I found it hard to believe most times that someone practically hewn from granite had the ability to look soft sometimes. "Is this about them?" My eyes closed in pain as I moved back from his body and sat on my bed, bath-robed and all. I pondered for a long time if I should tell him.I felt all kinds of things when I was with him, I also trusted him so, why did it feel like I was standing in naked in front of him, instead of dressed in a robe?I was laying bare my insecurities before this man that I harboured insanely deep feelings for, of course I

My hands played with eachother as I tried to make it seem like I was desperate to have him with me."I don't want to be alone." I blurted out. I cringed inwardly at not finding a better lie. "Are you sure?" Was I sure that I wanted to be alone with him, in a room, naked?I nodded my head nervously. My teeth had found my lip and I chewed on, hoping he'd stop staring at me like I'd grown 3 heads.He took of his shirt without warning and I squeaked, quickly turning around."A warning would be fine, next time." My eyes had shut close even though he was behind me. I heard a shuffle of feet and knew he'd taken of his shorts.What had I gotten my self into? My heart had gotten to new heights of palpitation. It would be a shock if it didn't burst out running. My hands turned clammy from the new heat I was experiencing. I knew I shouldn't but I was very tempted to peek a look. For a very short while, I turned my face only to meet his directly on me. Like he'd been waiting for me to look at h
