62. Oscar was torn
After a couple of days of staying at Zal's townhouse, I managed to convince him to let me go back to my place, telling him that I needed to work. He was not happy, but that was easily rectified when I invited him for a sleepover. Well, maybe a cat nap, because he was out the door well in the evening, telling me that he had work to be done, and people to see.
Strangely I have no issues with that. Zal was there for me when I needed him, unlike someone that...fuck, I really need to get my head straight. Ghazi was done with me. Zal is interested in me. It should be an easy pick if only my heart would act accordingly.
Both Zal and I waited for the cops to come knocking at my door regarding Dion. But there was none and I was half surprised to learn that HR had received a resignation letter from Dion. I can still remember a couple of days ago when Felicity told me what HR told her about Dion. In his resignation letter, the man explained to HR that he would be taking care of a

"Ghazi, I told you we're going to have to wait. I'm trying this new recipe.""Ugh...I'm really not happy about this newfound hobby of yours." I grunted but not before slipping my hands around his waist, pulling him back for a kiss."Your lovely French chef gave me her mother's recipe for chocolate cake." He muttered while carefully taking the cake out of the oven and setting it aside to cool."Looks like brownies to me," I shrugged only to get elbowed by him as he dramatically gasped demanding me to take my words back. To which I just laughed at him. This...this was what I love about him, everything with him is so easy."Ghazi! Get your naughty fingers away from my cake. It needs to cool before slicing, I want to top it with the vanilla ice cream.""Okay, you lost me at my naughty fingers and your cake," I commented coyly while wiggling my eyebrows. Remy laughed and slapped my arm playfully."Come on, let's get you out of the kitchen." He to
The Professional Bed Warmer 64. Ghazi Confessed
"Ghazi is everything okay?" Remy greeted me at the door.I already texted him that I was on my way back, I didn't want him to worry about me. And seeing Remy, I just know that I couldn't keep the facts about Oscar from him."No. I need to talk to you about something.""You want a drink?" My sweet Remy was so nervous that he felt obligated to tend to my needs."Why don't you sit down, I'll get us something to drink." I kissed his forehead and he nodded, taking a seat on the living room sofa. His hands were on his lap as he sat straight, his eyes never leave me. He was watching me as if he was trying to read my thoughts.I put coke in his rum, after adding some lime juice and ice cubes. I knew I needed something strong for the conversation as I drank one shot straight before making another glass of rum and coke for myself. Bringing the two glasses, I gave one to Remy before sitting by his side and slowly drinking from my glass."I met with Zal
The Professional Bed Warmer 65. Remy meets Oscar
I woke up sometime after midnight only to find Ghazi was gone. His side of the bed was cold, meaning he had woken up and left me probably hours ago. And here I was, expected to still love him while he was probably fetching his ex from his uncles grasps.God...why do I keep on doing this to myself? The familiar ache under my chest forced me to get up. My eyes heated when I felt the trickle of tears trailing down my cheeks. "Fuck..." I cursed feeling stupid when I decided to let go, grabbing fresh tissues to dry my tears and blow my nose. Not at all beautiful as Ghazi makes me out to be. I was pathetic, sad, bleary eyes complete with a runny red nose from too much crying.I eventually got myself up and went to the bathroom, splashing my face with cold water and trying to toughen myself up. This was not the first time, I've gone through worse and I survived. So what if Ghazi still loves Oscar and his ex still loves him too? I love Ghazi as I know he loves me too, so this
The Professional Bed Warmer 66. Oscar was letting go
The hope I felt when Ghazi finally came to my rescue was gone in an instant. The moment I saw how Ghazi looked at Remy, I realized it was the way he used to look at me. I didn't know that you could break a broken heart, but I was feeling it.I did a stupid thing when I broke things off with Zal. I hoped that Ghazi was still in love with me, and somehow in my fucked up mind, I wished that there was still something between us."I'm sorry Ghazi, I shouldn't even be here. I don't get why you told Zal to bring me here." Or was it something Zal wanted, he was probably washing his hands off me. He was probably glad that he didn't have to take care of my stupid self. God...I wished those guys killed me. It would be less humiliating for me."Oscar, don't...we had something. I loved you. I still care for you."I winced when his words shattered my heart all over again. Fuck these feelings. The man said it. He loved me. As in the past."I know. You should prob
The Professional Bed Warmer 67. Zal wanted revenge
Both Ghazi's uncles, Bijan and Reza, were in hiding. They got hurt when Ghazi and I shot them the night we rescued Oscar. They were wearing bulletproof vests, they had guards covering their exits, and they managed to slip away before we could put a bullet between their eyes. I was sure that at least both of them were bleeding, but I needed to find them. My hunger for their blood was feral to the point that I needed to have my revenge. They hurt Oscar and I had to calm down my frustration when he was taken back to Ghazi's. I need to let my cousin shelter him because I need to find those bastards who dared to touch my Oscar.One of my men had detained the executor, he was the one who was responsible for Oscar's bloodied and bruised face and torso. My man was badly hurt and I hated when Ghazi told me that Oscar was to stay at his place while all I wanted to do was to take care of him. Yes, I was stupid enough to still want to take care of him. No matter how easy it was for him t
The Professional Bed Warmer 68. Remy was finally happy
It was two weeks after Oscar left the apartment when we finally heard the news. Ghazi was busy at his home office the moment his cousin, Zal, burst into the penthouse. Since the fiasco with his uncles, Ghazi has been busy communicating with his new business partners. The cartel was more than just muscling themselves into someone else's business. It took a certain kind of finesse, and Ghazi has been going back and forth with deals and talk of loss and profits with his dad's old business partners.Lately, I've been watching Ghazi work from home. Mostly in the afternoon, where I sat in his home office with my sketch pad, quietly doing my designs. It brought me comfortable feelings whenever I was in the same room as him. I would hear his voice while he was on the phone, watch him work, and sometimes catch him looking at me. I was in my happy space whenever he was near, and I am really glad that I fought for him. That I wanted him badly enough, and that he wanted me too.I
The Professional Bed Warmer 69. Epilogue Part One
Remy the Husband-to-beWhen the wedding date was finally coming around the corner, I still couldn't believe that I was going to marry the man that I love. It took Jacqueline three months for her to prepare my wedding since she didn't get to prepare hers. She was going all out and all I was allowed to do was give my opinion or just sit and be pretty, her words not mine, especially in the last three days.With each opinion she asked me regarding the wedding, I was getting nervous. Though I knew that the event was going to be beautiful, it was going to be perfect. I have my faith in Jacqueline. The wedding venue was booked, and the seating arrangement was done. I love how she gave me perfect floral arrangements and color schemes. The guest list was composed and invitations were sent. The tuxes were tailored and had arrived. It was a surreal feeling to see the white and black tux, knowing that the time was closing in. I was nervous and excited at the same
The Professional Bed Warmer 70. Epilogue Part Two
Ghazi the Husband-for-lifeI was nervous about the wedding. Jacqueline insisted that she took Remy for a whole spa day to relax his mind. She did ask for my permission which I reluctantly gave. I only agreed because...well, she's Jacqueline and just like Remy, I was unable to say no to her. She had become more than our best friend, she had become a family and because of that, I let her take Remy away from me for a whole twenty-four hours."I hate that I can't say no to your wife," I grumbled, taking another glass that Grady put in my hand and pouring the strong liquid down my throat. Grady and Percy, Jacqueline's husbands were smirking as if they knew that her charm could make any man succumb to her wishes."Thank you for giving her this," Percy said after he took a quick sip from his glass. "I know we surprised her with both of her weddings, but we never thought that she would enjoy the hectic wedding preparation. Obviously, we were wrong, so t
