“Where are you taking me?” Leila asked. She touched her blindfold and Kelvin pushed her hand away. Since yesterday after the police incident, he had been hovering over her like a mother hen. He didn’t even allow her pick up her car from the restaurant. “Baby, tell me.”
“If I tell you, it’s no longer a surprise.”
Fuming, she crossed her hands on her chest. She felt the heat from his hand before he touched her and her breath caught in her throat. She was in the yellow dress because he asked her to wear something exquisite. Kelvin’s fingers inched closer to the slit, her hairs stood on edge and she swallowed her groans.
“Don’t be mad, okay? It’s a surprise,” he whispered against her lips. Leila nodded because she didn’t know what else to do. His fingers were closer to her panties, a few moves and he would be inside her. Leila wanted that. She jerked forward and Kelvin wi
The door pushed open, Leila rushed to the sink and sprinkled water on her face. Her chest rose and fell, the sensation between her legs were more intense and it made it harder for her to stand straight. She dropped her purse on the sink and pulled off her panties.Doing a small spin in front of the mirror, her lips quirked. Her hair was already down her shoulders but she combed through it with her fingers to give it more volume. She tucked the panties into her purse and spun to leave but the door opened before she could take another step.Freya walked in with a mischievous smile. Her best friend was beside her in a second, doubled over with laughter.“Girl, what’s wrong with you?” Freya asked.“Nothing?” Leila replied. She wasn’t sure what exactly her best friend was getting at. “What’s going on?”Freya sauntered to the sink and turned on the tap to rinse her hands.
They got home moments later. Their movements were sloppy and hands shaky as they tried to undress each other. Leila hit the back of her legs on the bed and howled. Kelvin released her to switch on the lights. In their haste and horniness, they forgot about the light.“Are you okay?” he asked.“Yeah.”Her fingers moved over the neckline of her dress, she took a step towards him and another till she was right in front of him. Kelvin’s hand faltered over her stomach, she held his gaze for a long second, then spun. His breath warmed her neck as he unzipped her dress slowly, and she bit her lips to stop a moan from escaping.Cold air brushed against her stomach as the gown fell to a heap on the floor. She stepped out of it and started on Kelvin’s buttons. His jacket came off first, shirt and trousers followed and he was left in only his tank and briefs.Their breaths formed a white mist, they stood i
Kelvin smiled in his sleep, his hand reached for his wife and his smile widened. In his dream, she had told him she loved him. Something poked his side’s, he moaned without opening his eyes. He wanted to sleep for longer. He wanted to return to his dream so he could ask her just how much she loved him.Her question last night had taken him by surprise. He wasn’t sure what love was but he knew what he felt for her was more than the usual feelings. The poke on his head made his eyelids flutter open, he looked up to brown eyes and a smile that made his heart stop.“Wakey, wakey,” Leila said. “It’s past six.”The fog in his brain cleared, he tried to sit up but she straddled him and pushed him down with a finger. With a mischievous smile, she undid the rope holding her robe and it fell open. She was naked underneath and he marvelled at the beauty of her body. His hand rested on her stomach, this body would
Kelvin was too stiff beside her. Leila had ignored all the looks he threw her way while they waited in front of the elevator but he was making this hard. Sadly, none of her colleagues were in sight as she pecked him. Kelvin’s mouth dropped open, he blushed to his roots and she sashayed inside the elevator when it slid open.“Are you coming?” she asked.He blinked out of his daze. “Sure.”Leila kept the elevator open for him, they were silent through the ride up and she gave him a peck before heading in the opposite direction to her office. She stopped him before he reached the door of his office.“Kev?” Kelvin turned to her with a smile, she shuffled over to him and kissed him properly. “I wanted to do this.”“Good thing you did.”After a tense minute, they bade each other farewell for the second time. Her office felt empty, she opened the windows and sank in
“Is this good?” Leila asked as she set a sheet of paper in front of her husband.The buzz of air-conditioners whirled in the background, mixing with the cologne of the stern looking men in suits crowding the conference room. She was the only female.Kelvin retrieved the sheet, skimming over it in silence. Someone walked to the podium with a wand and the white screen came to life. Leila slowly backed away. Her job here was done for now.One look from Kelvin should have made her pause but none of the men present had their assistants with them. She flashed Kelvin a contrite smile and stepped out. He had everything he needed, her phone was also in her purse should he need help with anything.Leila sat on one of the couches lining the walls in the corridor. She wasn’t alone. There were some men and women dressed as she was. Skirts for the ladies, pant suits for the men. She figured they were all assistants like her.S
A lump formed in Leila’s throat. She swiped her sweaty palms on her skirt and accepted the phone Kelvin offered her. He could have given her a heads up.“Relax,” Kelvin said while massaging her shoulders. “She doesn’t bite, Leila. She just wants to talk to my better half.”Nodding, she pressed the phone to her ear. “Hello.”“Hi, Leilani,” a cold voice replied.Kelvin gave her a thumbs up, she sat between his legs, lifting her arms so he could pull off her jacket. His fingers worked the knots in her joints, a moan slipped out of her lips and she slapped a hand over her mouth.“Will you be attending?” his mum asked.“Attending?”“Yes. The wedding,” she cut off. Leila spared Kelvin a glance, it didn’t sound like his mum welcomed her into the family. The smile on her husband’s face stopped her from voic
“This is your last chance to change your mind,” Kelvin murmured, sneaking up behind his wife to carry her. “Yes or no?”Leila shrieked with laughter. Her gown bunched at her waist as she tried to get out of her husband’s grip and she shook her head. “Yes, we will go. We are going for the wedding. We will laugh. We will have fun.”Lowering her to her feet with a pout, he said, “Fine.”She turned in his arm and pressed a kiss to his lips, wiping off the red lipstick stain with a wipe. Kelvin did a little spin for her to inspect his outfit.“How do I look?” The charcoal coloured suit clung to his body like it was made on him. His grey eyes were sharper and more beautiful without his glasses. The handkerchief peeking out from his breast pocket matched her pink gown. “You like what you see?”“I love what I see,” Leila replied. Her hand
“What’s your idea of a perfect proposal?” Kelvin asked his pretty wife.They had been throwing silly and fun questions at each other to while away the time. He agreed with his mum he would only be here for four hours. One hour out of those four was gone, he couldn’t wait to leave.He was asking for two reasons, out of curiosity and to plan one for her. If they would have another wedding, then they could have a real proposal too. Leila tore her eyes from the dancing couple, he observed her face for any sign of negative emotions but there was none. She was completely over the bastard.“Something private. No audience. Soft music, wine.”Taking note of that, he brought her hands to his shoulders. Servers were moving around, dishing out foods but he didn’t feel hungry. Well, he was hungry for another type of food but a quickie wouldn’t satisfy him. He smoothed the hair out of her forehead, saying noth
