The kiss was slow and passionate with David doing all the kissing while Sheila copied his actions, albeit clumsily. This was her first kiss and she was undoubtedly inexperienced.
After a minute of sucking and nibbling Sheila’s lips, David pulled away. He had to admit that was the sweetest kiss he had ever shared with anybody. It was full of passion and it ignited flames in his body. Flames he didn’t Know what could put them off.
It felt different from the kisses he shared with Sandra as they had sex.
Leaning his forehead on Sheila’s, David took a deep breath before exhaling heavily.
” Can we not fight each other? I don’t like it when we fight. You obviously love me, so why are you denying the obvious truth?” David asked, his eyes boring straight to Sheila’s hazel ones.
Sheila looked away. She enjoyed the kiss.
It was her first kiss so you could say that David was her first kiss.
But reality was far from understanding feelings. At the end of the day, does she have the status to stay by his side? Definitely not.
After seeing him with a wealthy woman at the hotel, she finally understood the disparity between them.
While he is a billionaire who is at the top in the food chain, she’s nothing but the prey whose worth and life period is determined by others.
” Does it even matter whether I like you or not? You already have someone in your class so what are you trying to prove by forcing me to admit that I love you?” Sheila said, her words came out bitter than she intended.
Ever since she saw how intimately the Laura girl was with David, she had lost hope about the two of them.
” Are you talking about Laura?” David asked, a frown on his face.
He could stand anything as long as that didn’t involve anybody accusing him.
” Who else would it be? Weren’t the two of you acting all lovey dovey back at the hotel? Why don’t you go back to her and stop being an asshole.” Sheila spat venomously, her words surprising not only her but David too.
His expressions darkened for a split second before he regained his composure.
He finally realised that the little woman not only misunderstood him, she was also jealous. He could not help but smile inwardly. His chauffeur told him that jealousy can be felt by two people who love and care about each other. Of course, that was after Peter explained to him what jealousy is and how to know that someone is jealous.
” Laura and I are not close. She’s a family friend and I don’t know how she found me. I Just could not send her away. That’s why I allowed her to join me in my business meeting.” David explained, hoping to clear the misunderstanding between the two of them.
Although he was very much aware of how Laura felt about him, he already made it clear to her five years ago that they could never happen.
He hated the lady to the core and could only try to tolerate her because of his grandmother. If it wasn’t for the close ties the two families had, he could have kicked her away the moment she showed her face to him.
Sheila’s eyes widened at the explanation. Did that mean that David was not interested in that woman?
But surely the lady has different thoughts and she could tell that that Laura girl harboured some designs for David.
Although pleased by his explanation, Sheila still felt threatened by the lady, especially after hearing that David’s grandmother was fond of the lady.
What if she forces the two of them to be married?
What would happen to her then?
” I have never considered marrying again after the death of my wife, but ever Since I met you, I have only thought of making you my bride and claiming you as my own. I might not understand what love is but I do know that I want you in my life. You are everything I want in this life, as my wife and mother of my children.” David said, his gaze directed to Sheila.
He wanted her badly. He could not wait to claim her and probably have her carry his child. Call him crazy, but that’s just how hooked he was with his little wife.
Sheila could feel the sincerity in his voice, his words sending a sweet and warm sensation into her heart.
” Are you confessing to me now?” She asked shyly, unable to fathom the change of events happening right in front of her.
She left with every intention of moving out of the house in the morning, now she will go back knowing that she won’t be able to leave that house anymore.
” I am not sure but I think I am.” David replied with a clueless expression on his face.
” Didn’t you confess to your wife in the past? The two of you were married.” Sheila asked out of curiosity to only have David look away.
Interpreting his actions as being uncomfortable talking about the matter, Sheila added, in an attempt to salvage the situation.
” You don’t need to answer if you don’t want to. It’s nothing important.”
” No.” David replied monotonously.
His reply did nothing other than confuse Sheila.
Which part of her earlier lines was her answering with a no?
” Huh!” Sheila frowned in an attempt to have the guy clarify his answer.
“It was a marriage of convenience. Sandra liked me and I needed a wife and an heir so we got married.” David explained, making Sheila’s eyes widen.
” It’s my first time to experience these strange feelings so I would request you to bear with me. I will try to meet your desired preferences and qualities.” David said somberly.
Sheila felt pity on him. It should have been hard to stay married to a woman you didn’t love.
She moved and hugged his waist.
” It’s okay, you don’t need to try harder. I am new too to this so we can just learn together.” Sheila proposed and David nodded, a sweet smile gracing his lips.
” We are now officially girlfriend and boyfriend although I would have preferred to marry you right away.” David said happily.
The two went back home in a good mood.
Sheila requested David to keep their new found relationship a secret. David was displeased but he still agreed to it.
He needed to inform his grandmother about his girlfriend. He could bet that she would be thrilled to know that he found himself a woman to marry.
The following day, Sheila called Blake and informed him that she would not be able to work at his company anymore.
He did not probe why she changed her mind because he could tell that a particular alpha male must have had a hand in her change of decision.
He was just happy that she did not cancel their deal about the designs.
Blake wired the money to Sheila’s account, informing her that anytime she wanted, she could go work in his company.
During the day, she called Vanessa to meet up because she wanted to share some news with her. It just happened that even Vee had something to talk to Sheila about.
The two agreed to meet at their usual cafe.
It was almost noon when Sheila arrived at the cafe. Vee was already waiting for her. The two girls hugged before settling down and ordering their drinks.
” So who goes first?” Vee asked, grinning at Sheila.
” I’ll go first.” Sheila volunteered, making Vee glare at her.
” I know what you are thinking Sheila and don’t deny it.” Vee accused Sheila to only have her shrug nonchalantly.
” I definitely don’t know what you are talking about but can you really blame me?” Sheila retorted, earning a cute pout from Vanessa.
