Sheila felt defeated.
How was it possible for a weak lady to take advantage of a strong man like him?
Why did it sound like he was making things difficult for her?
” How do I take responsibility?” Sheila asked, hoping to get a less absurd answer.
” Of Course you should become my girlfriend. You have already seen and touched everything, no other woman will accept me.” David stated making Sheila almost faint from disbelief.
What was he saying?
She didn’t see or touch anything. The fact that she couldn’t remember cancelled everything.
Besides, how could he say no other woman would want him?
It’s not like there’s any evidence left behind to prove that she touched or saw anything.
” Nobody will know.” Sheila argued.
” This is a matter of my dignity, not whether others will know or not. You don’t want to take responsibility after you…”
” Okay fine, I agree.” Sheila cut him off again before he could list the things she didn’t want to hear.
He was hell-bent on making her uncomfortable.
The only thing to stop all this was to agree.
Although being someone’s girlfriend was not something she was looking forward to at this moment, she finally conceded.
” But I have a condition.” Sheila added. She felt cheated into this relationship so she had to set a few rules.
” I’m listening.” After successfully accomplishing his goal, David became generous. As long as it was something he could accept, he would grant it to her.
” First, nobody knows about our arrangement, including Lily. Two, we won’t have to do those things for now and lastly, if after four month either of us doesn’t feel like we can continue, we will break up.” Sheila listed.
Listening to her words, David felt fury consume him.
While he can’t wait to announce her as his woman, she didn’t want anybody to know about them? Was she ashamed of him?
” I can accept the second one but that’s all. I refuse to break up. You belong to me and that’s never going to change. Get used to that.” After stating that possessively, he captured her lips in an aggressive kiss. It was like he was pouring all his frustrations to that one kiss.
Although that wasn’t what Sheila was expecting for her first kiss. Sorry, the second, counting the mentioned last night’s, she found herself moaning into the kiss.
David pulled away, satisfied by her reaction.
He caressed her swollen lips with his thumb sensually sending a jolt of electricity through Sheila’s body.
She clamped her thighs together, as something inexplicable rose from the pit of her stomach.
” Good girl. Remember, you are all mine.” David whispered before casually walking to the bathroom.
Sheila watched as the man took unhurried steps to the bathroom. His backview is mesmerizing, especially with the morning sunlight reflecting on his back, making his skin glow under the light.
Only after she heard the clinking sound of the bathroom door did Sheila wake up from her daze. She patted her cheeks.
” What’s happening to me?” She couldn’t help but wonder out loud.
But thinking about the kiss earlier, she smiled to herself.
He was overbearing, dominating her mouth with his skilful tongue.
She liked it.
” Get a grip of yourself Sheila.” She reprimanded herself, trying to clear the lustful thoughts from her mind.
Sheila stepped down from the bed. Taking one last glance at the bathroom, she left.
She didn’t trust herself to continue being in this room lest she ended up doing those sinful things she mentioned last night as per David’s words.
She scoffed thinking about her last condition.
Who was she kidding? She was already this attracted to the man after only tasting him once, she doubted if she could still remember her words in those four months.
Honestly, Sheila’s last intention was to have a boyfriend. It’s been years since that special Someone left. She was still waiting for him.
But now, things are different. She didn’t feel the same attraction she felt from before. Even if he came back now, she didn’t think she could feel that attraction anymore. She was already interested in someone else and already had a boyfriend.
As if someone read her mind, her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, it was a new number
At first she was sceptical whether to accept or decline it. Sheila wasn’t fond of answering new numbers.
After much contemplation, she finally picked up.
” Hello pumpkin?” A cheery voice greeted her. Although it sounded more mature, Sheila could tell at once who the owner was.
” Fred?” Her voice had a hint of surprise and excitement.
” Seems like my favourite girl didn’t forget about me.” The voice on the other side Said.
” How could I forget about you?” Sheila replied with a question.
It’s been years but she still remembered about her brother Fred.
They studied together and were the best of friends.
The trio were almost inseparable.
Vanessa, Fred and her. But Fred left to study abroad.
As the young master of the Cooper family, he was the heir of the Cooper business.
That’s why he left for abroad to get groomed to take up that responsibility after growing up.
After he Left, they lost contact with each other. Fred didn’t contact them and they couldn’t because they didn’t Know his address.
More than five years have passed.
” Yeah my pumpkin would not forget her favourite brother.” Fred replied.
He treated her as a brother, but Sheila didn’t consider him as a brother.
Ever since she was small, Fred had always been the prince charming in her eyes.
She had wanted to confess many times but held herself back, worried that he might not be feeling the same.
Come to think of it, if it was good she didn’t take that step. Now, she was sure what she felt for Fred was nothing but sibling attraction.
” Are you busy? Let’s Meet up. Drop the location, I’ll pick you up. We could have breakfast together.” Fred proposed.
” I can’t leave now, maybe sometime later.” Sheila replied.
Since she was staying at someone else’s house, it was only reasonable she told someone about going out. And then there was that swiddler. She was sure he wouldn’t be pleased if she Left to see another Man without telling him. She could tell he was a possessive man. She didn’t want to make him mad.
” Okay, text me the place and time, I’ll be there.” Fred replied.
” No need to fetch me. Let’s meet at our usual cafe back in the days.” Sheila said. She didn’t want Fred knowing about staying at a rich man’s house. Sheila was in no mood to explain her situation to anybody, not even Fred, her childhood friend.
” Okay.” He finally agreed. ” I can’t wait to see you.” Fred said before disconnecting the call.
Sheila stepped in the bathroom and adjusted the temperature of the shower before stripping to her last piece of clothing.
She then let the water hit her head, the contact bringing a relaxing feeling.
The warm water made her skin turn pink.
On usual days, she would be forced to bath cold water even during winter, leaving her body trembling and teeth chattering.
Having a relaxed warm bath felt so good that she spent extra minutes in the shower.
Stepping out, she dried her hair before rummaging through her closet to find something decent to wear.
