Lisa hardly slept throughout the night because she was busy thinking about how Ricardo had kissed her inside her office but she later fell around past five in the morning and woke up at quarter part ten.
The first name that came into her mind the second she woke up was Ricardo and she hurriedly sat up on her bed, looking around her room as if she was expecting Ricardo to come out of a corner.She took a soft breath and told herself to calm down."Stop stressing yourself, you can just visit him in his hotel room." Her stubborn side said."That isn't going to happen." Lisa replied and annoyingly got out of her bed. "What if he turns me away?""I don't think he will. That kiss was superb." Her stubborn side said."For once, I'm supporting you." Her subconscious said to her stubborn side."Okay, fine" Lisa said in surrender and headed to their bathroom.She intentionally put on a skimpy blue skirt on a black crop-top, picked up her purse and heade"Hello, Lisa, are you there?" Her mother's worried voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. "Lisa?"Lisa slowly picked up the phone, attempting to slow her racing heartbeat."Yes, mom. I'm here.""What are we going to do now?" Her mother questioned."I don't know." Lisa replied sorrowfully. "That's a lot of money. What are we going to do now?"Her mother wept. "Okay, baby, I'll get back to you later. Bye.""Mom, I'm sorry.""It's okay.""I will try and come tomorrow or next tomorrow." Lisa said."You don't have to. Your dad wants you to focus on your job. Bye baby.""Bye, mom." She replied and hung up the phone.She sighed heavily as she put the phone down and had no idea that she was crying until a drop of tears dropped on to her hand.She wiped her tears away, sat up on the bed and started thinking of what to do."Hey Lisa." Summer called, knocking on her door.Lisa raised her head an
Lisa's apartment doorbell rang about 45 minutes later.Summer got to her feet and shouted, "I'm coming!" as she made her way to the door.She opened the door without checking the visitor through the peephole and received the shock of her life.Her eyes widened in fear and amazement as she looked at the extremely handsome man standing in front of her with glacy blue eyes."How may I help you?" Looking down, she asked."My name is Ricardo; where is she?"Summer, dumbfounded, pointed to Lisa's bedroom door and watched as Ricardo walked past her and into the room.He knocked once, and without waiting for an invitation, he pressed the doorknob and entered the room."Lisa?" He called out worriedly, shut the door, and walked over to her bed. "What is the matter with you?"Lisa wiped away her tears and turned to face Ricardo. His eyes were not cold, but rather filled with concern."I'm sorry, my friend lied. There is nothing wrong with me."
Ricardo parked his car in the hospital parking lot three hours later and tilted his head in Lisa's direction."I'll be waiting for you here. Take your time.""I appreciate it." Lisa said as she stepped out of the car and shut the door. She began walking towards the hospital entrance but abruptly came to a halt, turned around, and waved at Ricardo, who was sitting inside the car, before continuing on her way.She paused for a few moments before opening the door to her father's hospital room, sighed heavily, and slowly opened the door.Her mother tilted her head in the direction of the door, thinking it was one of the nurses, but when she saw who was there, her mouth dropped open and she got out of the chair in shock."Lisa?" She called as she was motioning towards the young lady who was standing by the door. "Is that you, Lisa?"The woman sobbed as she tightly hugged her daughter.Lisa returned her hug."I didn't think you'd come.""Mom, I
Lisa began reading the paper, and when her eyes caught a sentence, she looked up from the paper and looked at him, bewildered."I will be staying in your house the entire time?" She asked when she could finally speak."Yeah." Ricardo replied. "Do you have a problem with that?"Lisa's mouth dropped open and she struggled to close it."N...no," she mumbled. "I...but...""But, Lisa?"She sighed heavily and replied. "Never mind," and kept reading the contract, which was detailed enough, detailing everything that would happen if she stayed with him.When she was done, she took a pen from the table and signed the contract, signing away her virginity and her dignity as a woman.She passed the paper to him, stood up, and said. "I'd like to get going."She turned around and began walking out of his office without waiting for his response."Lisa." Ricardo called.Lisa came to a halt and turned her head."Did you read the part where i
Ricardo arrived a few hours later and went straight to the shower.Lisa nervously studied her phone clock, knowing she was about to lose her virginity in a matter of seconds.Ricardo opened the door and walked in wearing only his boxer shorts, exactly fifteen minutes after entering the shower.Lisa's heart pounded faster, forcing her to breathe more forcefully and she wraped the blanket around herself more tightly.Ricardo laid down next to her on the bed and waited a few seconds before placing his hand on her.She spotted goosebumps as his hand made contact with her skin, but she was still nervous and began blinking her eyes uncontrollably."Lisa?" He called to see if she was still awake.Lisa sighed heavily, and the next second, her stubborn side took over.She turned around and looked into his beautiful blue eyes, which were neither cold nor soft.After a few seconds of staring into each other's eyes, Lisa moved closer to him and
The drive to the company was cold, silent, and awkward, and Lisa wished she hadn't signed the contract at one point.They arrived at the company after some minutes of driving. Ricardo parked his car in the VIP parking lot and stepped out, still as cold as he had entered the car.They walked to their respective floors without saying anything to one another.Lisa sighed as she walked into her office, dropped her bag, and began to wonder what Susan and Ricardo were talking about.Lisa was certain that something had happened in the past, and that incident was the cause of their relationship breakdown."They must have been very close." Lisa muttered as she made her way to the managing director's office, holding a fresh flower in her hand.She took out the old flower, replaced it, and sighed deeply. She was still thinking about that conversation, trying to connect some dots but failing.Lisa finally settled on a phrase after too much thinking. "Lisa, sto
A part of Lisa told her to message Ricardo about the letter but another part of her declined the suggestion so, she headed to the restroom, showered, put on a new gown and applied a very little amount of lipstick just to look presentable.Before stepping out of the house, she heaved a sigh, tried to calm her beating heart down and finally walked out of the house.Even though Lisa had never seen or been to Mr. Desmond Kincaid's house, she kind of knew the direction and started walking towards it, thinking it was only a five-minute walk, but after walking for fifteen minutes without stopping, she began to have second thoughts but still continued walking.She sighed heavily when his house finally came into view, readjusted her gown, slowly climbed the stairs and knocked on the door.Within a few moments, the same woman who had given her the envelope opened the door and smiled at Lisa."Hey." Lisa said."Here you are. Come on in." The woman said as she step
Ricardo hadn't made another move on Lisa since the first night, which had begun to botherLisa, but tonight was different. Ricardo moved closer to Lisa and began kissing her the moment he joined her in bed. Lisa kissed him back, relieved, but the kiss lasted only a few seconds before it stopped. "Goodnight," Ricardo said as he returned to his side of the bed and drew the blanket over his head. Lisa sighed, cursing the day she vowed to remain a virgin until she met the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She kept a close eye on Ricardo's breathing until it became shallow. ≈"No!" Someone yelled, and Lisa turned around on the bed, half-asleep."No! No! No!" The voice screamed once more. Lisa opened her eyes worriedlyand turned on the bedside lamp. "No!" The voice shouted again in a terrified voice. Lisa turned quickly to face the direction from which the voice was coming, and lo and behold, it was Ricardo.
