SARAHTWO DAYS LATERThe door was slowly pushed open, a soft smile meeting my curious gaze.Grace sauntered inside, "how are you doing Sarah?"I smiled back, trying my best to sit up and straighten my back."Don't worry just lie back. Don't stress yourself to sit up ok" she admonished coming to sit by me on the bed."I'm not terminally ill Grace. It's just a fever" I chuckled."A fever that has gotten you bedridden. Dear don't force yourself ok. How are you faring?" She inquired, caressing my pale hands.I shivered a bit and flashed her a faint smile, "I am recovering I guess. Well at least I no longer feel too weak. And the headache has reduced. Oh God I thought it would never go away" I responded."Emilio has been taking good care of you I see" Grace remarked as she stood up and went over to slightly open the curtains of the room, allowing little, warm rays of the sun to grace the room.The room was awfully chilly. "He has actually. I give him that. It doesn't change anything about
SARAHA WEEK LATER So much happened in the space of one week. Emilio happened in the space of one week! I still can't wrap my head around everything; from my sudden illness to his absurd kindness and concern.I halfhearted expected it to be a phase, probably because of the severity of my fever during the first two-three days.But a total week went by and he still maintained his concern and care.Grace was probably right about him. I guess beneath those layers of hardness and rage, a bit of love and care is buried.And it resurfaces once in a blue moon.But why is Emilio this concerned about me?He feeds me himself before he even eats, he doesn't let me climb the stairs on my own! Yes he carries me like a bride in his arms whenever I am to go downstairs.He has ceased his work activities and he is always ever home, monitoring my movements and health.It is safe to say or assume that Emilio has become my personal doctor at this rate.But why so much attention on me?Is he scared tha
SARAHThe gentle breeze caressed my skin and softly howled in my ears, blowing tendrils of my hairs across my face. I paced around the garden, exercising my sleepy limbs and enjoying the warmth of nature around me.Today was the best opportunity I had to go out. Emilio had left for work very early in the morning after our talk last night and honestly I was still in awe of everything. And this was the best opportunity because if Emilio were to be around, he won't even let me step a foot on the ground by myself.His kindness, his cheerful smile, the way he spoke to me, his words....uurgh fuck everything was shocking but in a good way.I don't even know what to think of him any more. These days he is acting more human and less of the ruthless being I knew in my initial days of staying with him. A smile walked to my lips as I thought of Emilio's now sudden endearing personality. But quickly, it snapped in me that I was smiling because of Emilio and as quickly as the smile appeared, i
EMILIO THE NEXT MORNING A warm body was gently pressed against mine and I subconsciously tugged it closer, wanting to feel more of the warmth.Tendrils of hair rubbed against my face and the sweet flowery scent of vanilla filled my senses. Fluttering my eyes open, I could feel a boner as an ass was pressed against my dick.The moment my vision adjusted, Sarah came into sight.Wait Sarah?Confused for a second, my eyes travelled around the room we laid in, observing every thing.This was her room and the scrabble game we had last night laid on the table in front of the bed.How did I get to spend the night in her room? Like a comet, the memory of last night hit me. Sarah became drowsy and she ended up falling asleep in the middle of the game. I laid her on the bed but she didn't want to let go of my hand afterwards. So I yielded in and spent the night with her. Fuck.I cant even lie, that was the best sleep I had gotten in such a long while.What is this girl doing to me?My min
EMILIO I tried to pay attention to the ramble going on in my conference room but I could barely even concentrate on anything else apart from--Sarah. I had asked her to join me to that stupid function tonight and honestly, I was itching to see if she would put on the dress I sent to her earlier in the day.Damn it!Do I genuinely care about her? Or is it just lust?I have no clue and I don't really give two fucks about it. All I am sure of is that spending these past few days with her has tremendously made me grow so much attached to her.And hell do I love it! I can't even help myself at this point. I am intoxicated by her scent and I crave for the warmth of her body.Fuck. I repeatedly stared at the digital clock on the wall hoping for time to fly so fast.Why was I this eager to leave here and go meet that annoying little girl that never appreciated any good thing I did for her?'Maybe that is because you are beginning to like her' my inner thought said to me.No. I don't. I dou
SARAHMy eyes gazed at the tinted windows, admiring the starry night sky as we drove. We had been on the road for more than thirty minutes and I was really eager to see where Emilio was taking me too.He sat not too close to me, his eyes on his phone. I took cursory glances of him time to time again, a bit nervous for some reason.Was this a date? He has been acting all funny for some days. He could have tricked me into going on a date with him.I just pray it's not that and I am just overthinking it. Emilio then moved closer to me and our bodies brushed.I felt a shiver run down my spine, my anxiety tick gripping on to me swiftly."Emilio.." I called out to him."Yes bella""You are too close to me. Move away please" I requested."What? Why?" He sounded amused."Because you are quite too close to me. Our skins are literally touching" I snapped back."So? Does it affect you in any way?" Emilio shot at me.Gosh. Why is he so hard to deal with it at times? Would it kill him to just mo
MOMENTS LATEREmilio sighed heavily, feeling a wave of annoyance wash over him as the voices around him continued to drone on. Each conversation seemed to blend into the next, creating a disorienting symphony of noise. He inwardly groaned, longing for a moment of peace amidst the relentless chatter of the crowd. He had met with different elite class individual and they had just been talking business all through.He was already tired of handling the formalities and he was sure Sarah also tired of the repeated greetings and business talks. "So I was thinking If we could actually work together, you know a partnership between us..."the older man announced to an obviously irritated Emilio before handing him his business card.Sarah watched Emilio take it with a forced smile. She felt sorry for him. He had been engaging in various discussions with people and from the look of things he was clearly not interested in talking again."Oh yes. Thank you. I'll contact you"Emilio answered, ta
SARAH"Thank you so much for honouring the invitation to be in this great event" the chairman of the function said to Emilio. I can't count how many times I've heard those words. Emilio must really be an introvert for him to be thanked so much for just attending one damn event."And to you too. Miss Sarah" the man took my hands in his and pressed a light kiss on my knuckles."The pleasure is all mine" I tried to be as graceful and polite as I could."Man I didn't know you were such a famous person" I teased Emilio as he traced the man's walking steps with his eyes."Neither did I" Emilio responded with a groan."Do you need any thing to eat?" He asked me as we went over to sit. Finally. It felt like we hadn't sat in years.Slow classical music began echoing through the walls as the light of the hall dimmed down. I watched as various couples went towards the middle of the hall and began dancing together.I shook my head at him, turning my attention back to his face, "I've had a lot
