Autumn was tense, but she managed to smile at Lucy. "Yeah, we'll fix a date for dinner and let you know about it," she replied. "Yes!" Lucy replied excitedly. "I can't wait!" She added and continued eating her food. The others at the table also continued eating their meals in silence. Autumn felt like she was being stared at. She looked across the table and saw that Perry was staring at her. He could see how tense and uncomfortable she had felt when her mum had requested dinner at her house. For one, her family had no idea she was seeing anyone, not to talk of getting married. Her mum would make a bigger fuss about it if she finds out that the said man is her boss. Another reason she was scared was their house. How would Perry's parents feel when they see that she's not from a rich family like theirs? She let out a sigh at the thought of this. "Are you okay?" Kyla asked her when she heard her sigh. "Yeah, I'm good. Thanks," she muttered with a small smile on her face.
Perry looked at his mum, surprised at what she had just said. His eyes moved to Autumn. He tried to motion to her to decline the offer but unfortunately, she wasn't looking at him. "I'm fine with a hotel," Autumn replied quickly. "That's bullshit!" Mr. Moore suddenly replied. "Don't you two already live together?" Autumn was about to counter his words by telling him that they weren't living together, but she remembered that she had lied initially that he brought her breakfast in bed every morning. And that could only mean that they live together. "She's a simple woman, dad. I understand that she wouldn't want to interrupt anything here, so I agree that she should stay at a hotel." Perry said to his father with a straight face. "I won't agree with that. I insist that she stays here," Lucy said and grabbed Autumn by the hand. "Come, love. I'll show you the room where you'll stay overnight." They both headed up the stairs. "Let her stay with Perry in his room. They aren't
Memories from the night of their one-night stand came flashing back to his mind as he stared at Autumn. As his eyes went down to her lips, he couldn't explain what it was, but he knew he wanted to kiss those lips. And he did, much to Autumn's shock. For the first few seconds, she had no idea what to do, but after a few seconds of returning to life, she kissed him back. She wanted this so badly at the time, and even though it was not right, she let him do it anyway, and she enjoyed it while it lasted. He traced his hands on her face as he pushed her hair behind her ear. She immediately shut her eyes as they felt the softness of each other's lips. They pressed their foreheads against each other as their lips moved in sync, their tongues taking action in the process. Perry gave out a soft moan with his hoarse voice as he raised her hand to the back of his neck, then slid it slowly into his hair. He bit her upper lip and she moaned out his name, then, his lips traveled down
In all of Autumn's entire life, she hadn't felt this awkward before. She wondered why it always had to be this same man. The first time they had sex, she woke up to see a marriage certificate signed by them. This was the second time, and both of them knew it shouldn't have happened. Autumn had been awake for a while, but she refused to leave the bed because she was scared of what Perry might say after what they did the night before. She couldn't lie that she didn't enjoy or feel something there, but at the same time, she couldn't deny that what they did was wrong. Perry looked at the woman beside him on the bed and saw that she had her back to him, so he assumed she was still asleep. He got up and switched off the lights, then went into the bathroom to have his bath. When he was done, he came out and still met her on the bed. He scoffed and went on to dress up for the day's work. When he finished dressing up and she still didn't get up, Perry could already tell that she
Perry and Autumn left Perry's house through the back door, just to avoid his parent's teasing. As he drove, she yawned due to her tiredness. Perry noticed how she constantly yawned, but he acted like he didn't see anything. The car was silent, and when Autumn was tired of the boring atmosphere, she decided to bring up a discussion. "Why didn't you let me have breakfast? The table was already set." "We're going to a restaurant already, and if it's because you care so much for free food, I'll pay your fee." He said to her nonchalantly, but the words triggered her. "What the heck?" She scoffed, turning to face him. ?"Are you telling me that I'm complaining because I lost the chance to have free food? That sounds very stupid, you know?" "Then why the fuck do you keep questioning me about it?" He asked, raising his voice at her a bit. He didn't look at her though, his eyes were on the road. "Do you know how dumb it is that I didn't thank them for letting me sleep over at t
"I don't mind whatever he does though. I just detest the way he reasons sometimes, and this happens to be one of those times," Autumn muttered as Ella released her from the hug. "Anyway, that aside, I'm way worried about the coming dinner date. How in the world do I want to go about it?" She asked her friend, an intense look of worry on her face. Ella retired to the sofa next to her and laid her back on the seat. "What's holding you back from telling your mum though? I'm sure she'll understand." She said and shrugged her shoulders. Autumn turned to look at her, a look of shock and unbelief appeared on her face. Ella knew her mum quite well, and Ella was the only friend of hers that her mum knew as well. She was surprised to hear Ella speak that way despite knowing how her mum overreacts most times. "I can't believe you just said that!" "What? In the end, you'll have to tell her anyway. Why not do it now?" Autumn shook her head as she let out a sigh. "You're so unbelievabl
As she was dragged into the bathroom, Autumn protested, telling whoever it was to let go of her. "Will you just let go of me already!" She yelled at the person and her clothes were released immediately. As soon as it was, she was shocked to see that it was Lisa who had dragged her in. "What the heck was that?! Why did you drag me?!" She snapped at her as she adjusted her gown and her hair, looking in the mirror opposite her. "We need to talk, Autumn," Lisa said and locked the door from the inside to make sure nobody barged in. "If you want to talk to me, you have my phone number, you could have called me or texted me. Why the heck did you have to drag me like that?! Do I look like a thief or something?!" Autumn snapped at her, raising her voice, as she was not having any of the drama Lisa caused some minutes back. "I knew I could have done all that, but it was more fun to drag you," Lisa replied to her and shrugged, making Autumn even more pissed at her. "And what was i
Autumn arrived at her desk and did her usual early morning routine work by arranging the office and awaiting Perry's arrival. Not quite long after she finished and had retired to her seat, her office door opened and she assumed it was Perry. She had made up her mind that she would act as if nothing happened between them the night before and that morning too to avoid awkwardness. She stood up to greet him, but as she looked at the door, she realized that it was someone else that walked in. The sound of the heels of the female who had just walked in was loud and it got louder as she approached her table. She was chewing a piece of gum, and she wasn't doing it neatly. Autumn rolled her eyes and had her seat, wondering who she was. She couldn't help but notice that the lady was beautiful, though. "Good morning," Autumn greeted her cordially when the lady got to her desk. "Are you here for an appointment?" She asked her. The lady scoffed immediately, a look of shock on her f
