Katrina woke up with a start, she had not slept well last night though she had gone to bed early, she had been toasting and turning in bed and had given up at a point and just ended up doing some work on her laptop which had not been easy cuz her mind kept going back to the event of the day and also the upcoming trip she was both excited and scared.
She sluggishly got up from the bed and headed to the restroom, brushed her teeth, and washed her face before coming back into the room to put finishing touches to the stuff she had arranged the previous evening for her travel. Thankfully, she just had her period and it would be until early next month before it would come again but she still made sure to pack pads just in case. Not wanting to wake Jordan up, she tried to move her stuff to the living area as quietly as she could, the time was just past five am and she still had a lot of time since they usually use an eleven am flight every time they traveled, bookings for flight usua"Do we need to do this?" She asked again for the fifth if not hundredth time and Lucas decided that she is one daring woman, she has been asking the same question over and over again and he wanted to seal that pretty mouth of hers with his, knowing that if he did that she would run away and not look back helped him keep his senses. They were at a boutique and she has been asking the same question with every new clothing she tried on."Yes, baby,"He replied which made her cringe."Stop calling me that," she mouthed over the lady fitting her dress, he laughed and shook his head.When he had woken up this morning he had wanted to wait till she come to him herself but the thought of her changing her mind had driven him out of the house and towards hers, though he had met a shocker there, he didn't know she lived together with the weird guy from the designing team, he knew they were friends but he didn't know they were that closed, he wanted to ask her why they
"Wow, this is one thing I love about these trips, the food,"Katrina said, savoring the food, they were on the plane, she had waited three hours more before she could eat, it was already past eleven am, this was the longest she had stayed without food in a while and she didn't want to repeat the experience. "Sorry it took so long for you to eat, I know how hungry you were,""I can tell you that you don't know the half of it, but it's cool, and I am just gonna get used to you saying sorry and also being sweet to me,"She replied before stuffing her mouth with food, whoever prepared this food needs a pay raise because God damn it they were doing a superb job."Once again I should defend myself that I have always been a sweet and nice boss,"Lucas said and Katrina eyed him before stuffing her mouth with food again."What? I am saying the truth and you know that,"He defended. "I didn't say anything though,""Yeah, you didn't but your
"Kat, Kat,"He called trying to wake her up but she must be very tired cuz she just makes a few noises and went straight back to sleep, he didn't want to wake her up but he had no choice, they were landing soon, and she needed to be seated."Baby, you need to wake you," he whispered into her ears but she just shook off his hand and continued sleeping, she is hard to wake, he knew it already, that's why he had decided to wake her an hour before landing."Yo! Wake up sleeping princess he whispered closed to ears but she just scratched him off again."Come on Katrina wake up or I am gonna kiss you," he voiced his face moving close to hers that he could feel her breath on his face.She jumped up and their face meet his lips touching hers, she moved off him in seconds."What are you doing?" She asked staring at him with sleep-dazed eyes."Hmm, isn't that obvious? I was trying to wake you up," He replied getting off the bed."You could have ju
Katrina opened her eyes and blinked to clear sleep off, she wondered for how long she had been sleeping, traveling always gets her exhausted especially when she travels by air, over the years she has trained herself to get used to it but this particular trip had been too urgent that she had not had time to do that, she looked around the room, it looked big and very pretty even though it had simple decoration, there was a bed, a sofa, a walk-in wardrobe, a table, tv, and a small but pretty floor pot, the room could easily carry up to five people, she wondered why such a large room had a single bed but didn't give it much thought because the bed itself was huge.She wondered just how long she had been sleeping, she checked her watch it was long past eight pm. She wondered where Lucas was, he had said he had a few things to do when they arrived but she had been too tired to make out what it was."You are up? That's good, let me get you something to eat," he announced entering
He felt her breath against his face, he wanted to kiss her so badly but he knew that would change everything between them, and he couldn't risk it, not when it was Katrina, he didn't want to ruin what they have if things go south which it always does, he gently pulled off and stared at her, her eyes were still close and he wanted to say fuck everything and kiss her."I am sorry Kat, I shouldn't have done that,"She opened her eyes and smiled weakly at him."Why are you sorry though? I thought we were practicing, I am just playing along, don't let it get into your head," she said and poked his forehead."Ouch, that hurts," he said, happy that she didn't get any wrong idea."Liar, I barely did that," she replied and moved away from him, she looked at her phone and her expression changed."What is it?""Nothing, it's just a text, I have been getting loads of it from an unknown number, I blocked the number and for one month I didn't receive any but yes
Katrina couldn't believe what was happening, Lucas was kissing her, kissing her in public, this had to be a dream, the pressure of his mouth on hers made it impossible for her to think straight, he was indeed a good kisser, his mouth explored hers in a way no one else has ever done, she couldn't remember the last time she kissed someone, she sighed in pleasure, kissing him back, she never thought this day will come that he will kiss her. Then it dawn on her, this wasn't the kiss she hoped it will be, this was just for a show, with that thought she suddenly wanted the kiss to end, tapped on his shoulders to let her go and he did maybe because he felt her withdrawal."I am sorry Kat," The sorry, yeah, that's what she didn't want to hear, 'sorry' but she just nodded and smiled at him, this was what she agreed to do, she just have to keep that at the back of her mind."If you want we can call it a day here," "No, I am okay," she said smiling at him and gently touch
He didn't see her for most of the next day, he was locked up in a meeting with the old man and other competitors while she was busy with the women, the only time he saw her during the day was when they went to eat lunch and they couldn't talk much because all the women were camped together, they just said a greeting to each other in passing, and by the time they finally got to meet each other again it way passed nine pm and they were both too exhausted to talk about what happened the previous evening, one thing he knew for sure was that he wanted her, he didn't know just how to stop himself, he knew this was a wrong move, that it might ruin everything but as he watched her sleep that night, he knew beyond any doubt that he wanted this woman and he would have her, he just hope he wasn't making a mistake that will cost him, someone, he trusted.The meeting with the old man was okay because from what he saw through his chances were still not huge enough the people he really, had t
"You never did tell me how far you went with the old man,"Kat said as she dressed her hair and did her makeup, they were both getting ready for the party, she turned to face him when he didn't respond and caught him looking at her again, she has tried not to overthink his looking at her, during their walk that afternoon she had caught him looking at her more than once and it was giving her all the ideas that might leave her in a mess."Lucas?" She called. "Yeah? What did you say?""Didn't you hear me? I asked how your meeting went with Reuben?""Oh, that, it went better than I expected, since the old man ain't making any final decisions yet and there is only one major rival and that's Pascal,""Wow! Do you mean Pascal Joh?"She hasn't seen him around and didn't expect him here, the guy was a major rival of Lucas even though they deal in different sectors but like Lucas, he also likes buying properties."Yes, he is the one,""I didn't kn
