"How was work today?" Sarah asked immediately I came home.
"You've never asked me that before, why do you care?" I dropped my handbag and slouched into a seat. At our ages, we still lived with our parents because neither of us could live on our own, Sarah tried it, it didn't work and I was just too attached to home to want to leave for any reason whatsoever."I'm just being curious," she shrugged, "and how was Daniel? Did you get to see him today?""So that's what you really want to know? He was doing well, miss girl I'm tired." I groaned. I didn't want to talk about my crush with my sister."Ugh, okay. I'll talk to him myself."A part of me wanted to tell her about the whole shirt situation but I wasn't sure if they shared everything in their relationship."Why are you being so moody though? Did I do something to upset you?" She sat beside me and wiggled her eyebrows."No, I'm sorry, I'm just really worked up, I'm looking forward to your party though," I hoped that would lighten her mood up."Oh yes! I rented the entire beach, bitch." She said and started talking all about the experience to me.**"I am so nervous, your dad is back and now I'm nervous, you know how bitchy he can get, no offence." Stella paced back and forth my desk, fanning herself as she got ready to make her presentation."I've gone through your presentation and it looks just about fine to me, I'm pretty sure dad will be fine too." I tried to assure her. The meeting was supposed to be in an hour, we were just waiting for most of the important share holders to be back. "I haven't even seen him yet, I'll go talk to him and ensure he's in a really good mood before all of that, How's that Hmm?""Thank you bestie," she adjusted the bangs of her wig, "you are a life saver." She was heading back to her office when Daniel walked past us."Hey ladies," he smiled and oh my Gosh, it was enough to give me an orgasm."Hi Mr Romano." Stella blushed, hurrying away from view. Even though I'd told her he was off limits, she clearly still had a crush on the man but could I even blame her though?"So I brought you iced coffee," he handed the coffee in his hand to me, "you never got to drink yours yesterday because of me so.""That's so thoughtful of you," I smiled and took it from him, "you really didn't have to, it was equally my fault for being so distracted."His eyes flickered over to my desk and all the littered files on there."I promise I was going to organise it, I've just been really occupied.""It's fine," he shrugged, "my first meeting here," he sat by the edge of my desk and I took my seat, holding my breath at the presence of him. He had the first two buttons of his sky blue shirt undone and damn the way his hair sleeked back, looking so shiny, I wondered how he could look so perfect all the time."Trust me you are going to be fine," I have to go see my dad now." I stood to my feet, wanting to get out of there fast. "Thank you for the coffee , I love to start my day with coffee always."I wandered to my dad's office and finally released the breath I had been holding in."Hi little potato," he called as soon as I walked through his door on the third floor. One side of his wall was a ceiling to floor window and the other sides were painted white with small black shelves that held Al his favorites artificial plants."Hi dad," I went to hug him where he was seated on his desk. He was a very round man, balding in the centre of his head already.I took the seat across from him, "I heard you were back so just thought it was fair if I came by to say hi. How was your trip?""Amazing, we will catch up at home. It's time for the meeting, Hmm?" He stood to his feet with a struggling grunt and I nodded."Hey dad, easy on Stella, you know how well she's managed finances, her presentation is only to help us gain more not lose." I chipped in and he only chuckled."I will try, this is why you shouldn't employ best friends together."We got to the meeting room. There was a long desk from one end of the room to the other and it was great to accommodate everyone. It had to be an intentional act to increase the tension I was already feeling because Daniel came to sit directly beside me.I sucked my breath in, trying my best to pick up the words from Stella, trying not to think about how hot this man was."... And so that's why I decided we should send two of our best marketers on a fully funded business trip to France, and hope they pitch well enough to get 'Marcel' to cooperate with us." Stella concluded. "It seems like a lot of money but after thorough calculations, we will only be spending 0.05 percent of last month's profit." She said.My father looked skeptical but I knew he was going to do well to honour my request and so he nodded, "who do you suggest for the trip that you're certain will earn back for the company?"Stella's eyes met mine, "Miss Jennifer Jenner, for being the most competent on the team in the last five months and Mr. Daniel Romano, for his history at Vail and how he managed to raise the company's earnings by thirty percent every month.""Anyone in objection with this suggestion?" My dad asked but my heart pounded in my chest, I was expected to go on an entire trip with Daniel, how would I survive?"Since there are no objections, please prepare the two workers for the trip."As we headed back to our respective departments after the conclusion had been made, I went to where Stella was and pulled her back by her collar, "girl there is no way you didn't do that on purpose!" I whisper yelled at her, keeping my pace slow, not wanting anyone's eyes to longer too much on me."Do what on purpose?" She shrugged at me."Pairing me with Daniel, why would you do that?""What's wrong with it? Why's that such a bad thing to do?" She seemed like she was truly lost for words, "I gave my reasons which are genuine plus I thought you'd be much more comfortable, he's your sister's... Oh my gosh," she suddenly gasped in realisation. "You have feelings for him!""Have you lost your mind, no I don't." I snapped at her."Yes you do, Jennifer, you have to be kidding me right now." She chuckled."It's not funny, I'm dealing with a serious issue over here." I crossed my arms across my chest. She smirked, "Well things just got pretty interesting.""Shut up!""Hey ladies, mind if I
"Why are you here all by yourself?" Daniel's voice startled me when he sat next to me on the sand. It was already night time and I hadn't returned to join them again, just relying on alcohol the entire time."Why aren't you with my sister?" I redirected at him."She's hanging out with her college friends for a reunion or so, so yeah I'm bored all by myself." He explained. "I saw Stella you know, umm...""Making out with a random? Yeah, typical of her.""I was surprised you two weren't together, so I came looking for you." I narrowed my eyes, "why would you be looking for me?""I haven't seen you since the announcement, I was just wondering if you were okay." He nodded once."I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" I gulped the beer bottle in my hand."That's a huge bottle, did you drink all that?" He stared at the bottle that was half empty now."Yeah, care for some?""Nah, I don't do alcohol." "So, you're engaged now, huh?" I pointed out."Yes, that was the secret I was hoping to tell you...
My lips remained connected to his and I pressed my boobs against his chest, closing my eyes and enjoying what tasted like a hint of strawberry that was spread across his lips. I would have kept going if he didn't gently pull my face away from his.I threw my hands up in realisation, "oh my God." My eyes widen as I started at him in disbelief. He stared back at me and cleared his throat, "well I better get going."I had no words to say to him as I watched him leave my presence.How could I have brought myself to act on my instincts, it was just too hard for me to believe. More than ever, I wished Stella would have stayed by my side all through the day instead.**I was up early the next day so I could be gone before anybody was active at the beach. I had too much to drink, my head threatened to explode from the lack of sleep coupled with the hangover I was suffering from.I saw people passed out on the floor of the beach, so much littering the floor and the sun was yet to rise so nobo
I was all packed for the trip and we had a quick morning meeting with my dad and a few other committees, going through our pitches and seeing how convincing they were.I had always looked forward to being in France and now I was going with my crush, that I would never cross the boundary with again in my life.My dad drove us to the airport while Daniel and I sat in the back seat of his SUV.I noticed he kept staring at Daniel through the rearview mirror and the poor guy was clearly lost for words to say to him."So you're engaged to my daughter Hmm?" My dad's cracking deep voice broke the awkward silence between us and for a split second I almost forgot my dad had two daughters."Yes sir." I love how Daniel kept his composure almost like he had no fear for what my dad could possibly say to interfere in their relationship."Hm, when you get back, I'd love to spend some time with you and have a quick discussion on what it is your plan is.""That's fine by me sir."We got to the airport
The bedroom was homely. A dim night light was left on and in front of the king sized bed was a sixty two inches flat tv. There was a couch set beside the floor to ceiling window of the room and a small closet. This could easily pass for a living space especially with the convenience of the bathroom just beside the bed.I was too tired to think straight so I dumped my bags on the bed and laid off to sleep."Won't you take a shower?" There was a gentle tap on my shoulder from Daniel but I was too lazy to open my eyes. I groaned in response, I knew I should but I couldn't bring myself to."It's fine, take the rest you need." He stood from the bed and I opened my eyes in a squinting manner, watching him take his shirt off with his back to me. He was hot as hell, there was no denying that for whatever reason.I knew I was starting to dose off but I managed to catch a glimpse of him in a towel and soon tangled in a web of sleep until he returned only a few minutes later, the careful steps
I was in a state of shock and probably so was he because he didn't move away from my grip. I couldn't believe the sizd of this man. It was veiny and hairless and I didn't want to think of the size of him when he was hard.When he let out a small groan of pain, I let go, still on my knees, looking away, "God, you must hate me so much." I groaned, all the events that had been occurring were transpiring against me."Are you hurt?" He wondered, extending his soapy hand towards me to take.I reached for it, no longer caring so much about my nakedness but I realised I couldn't get to my feet, "fuck I think I might have hit my hip."He crouched so he was my height and turned me to the side gently, eyeing my hip, "there's no injury but it looks swollen, ugh, it's my fault, I'm sorry."He put my hands around his neck and a heat grew in my stomach. Holding my waist, he stood upright, taking me with him. "Hold on okay?"Because I had lost my sense of speech, I only nodded in response. He rinsed
Daniel turned around quickly as I pulled the towel over my body."Damn, I'm short of words, we really do need to get a new room, don't we?" He chuckled and my cheeks seemed to hurt as they turned badly from the embarrassment I currently felt just thinking about it."Jeez, why aren't you on your way to Marcel right now! You shouldn't be back in for the next three hours!" I was so mad at myself."Yeah, can I turn around now?""Like you haven't seen it all ready." I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest."You look when you make that face," he chuckled at me."What face?" I met his gaze ."The way you poke your lower lip out, I noticed you do that when you're upset or angry." He pointed out, taking the black tie he was wearing off and undoing the button of his white shirt.He didn't even know me that long yet he had managed to pay attention to details enough to know what I did or didn't do."Hey," her say beside me, "you don't have to be shy about masturbating, we all do it."Great, he
"I think you have done enough, we get it, she'll apply it properly, thank you for your help, please take your leave!" Daniel continued to say..o couldn't exactly place why he was so upset."If you need me for anything at all, please do not hesitate to call me especially if you are yet to get any improvements by tomorrow." He said."I will, thank you." I nodded.Together with the room service operator, he left the room. Daniel locked the door behind them and when he was heading back to the bed, I raised one eyebrow at him, "what on earth was that for?""Didn't you see? He was being intentionally touchy, I didn't want him to... You know what forget it, let's just eat and get it behind us."If I didn't know better, I would have sworn he was jealous but why would Daniel be jealous?We got through our meal and spent the rest of the day on our phones.Nighttime came and we were still both in bed. I'd taken a nap so I wouldn't hear all the cutesy conversation Daniel was having with my sister
