Episode 5

They walked out of the restaurant at around eight-thirty at night.

“Thank you for taking me out,” she said as they headed where he had parked the car.

“It’s okay it was nice hanging out with you.”

“So you not married?”

“Me? Yes, still single. Well I am a divorcee. My wife cheated on me with my cousin brother.”

“Ohh I am sorry.”

“It’s okay. I have moved on. Your husband is very lucky to have married such a beautiful lady,” he said smilingly.

They stood by the car and he looked deeply into her eyes. He stroked his fingers down her cheek, lifting her chin. Her heart pounded erratically and a tingle of excitement raced around her. His l-ips almost brushing hers. She pulled back from him a little, shyness making her look up from under her lashes as heat infused her cheeks.

“Aaaa we should get going. My husband will soon worry,” she said avoiding eye contact with him.

“Okay,” he said biting his lip.

He opened the car door for her. She watched, anticipation throbbing in her blood, as he shut the car door and str-de around the front to the driver’s side. He looked at her as the engine growled to life, his gaze so hot. She sat silently contemplating what had just just happened between them as Max drove. The car sped along the road to Northend. Tyres stretched as he came to a dust road. She wasn’t sure if she felt relieved or disappointed that he had parked the car in front of her gate. She wanted to be with him, his muscular body, handsome face. Is all she ever wanted in a man but she was married and had never cheated on her husband. He opened the car door for her.

“Thank you for dropping me off,” she said standing by the car.

“No problem. I guess I will see you tomorrow,” he said and k-ssed her on the cheek.

Excitement fizzed in her veins, only to be replaced by disappointment as he walked straight to his car. He got in,side and drove off. She stood there watching the car as he drove off. She took a deep breath and opened the gate. The lights were still on meaning Andrew was waiting for her. She had switched off her phone the moment he walked in the hotel with Max. She opened the door and Andrew immediately stood up and rushed to her. He held her tightly in his arms.

“Thank goodness! I was worried about you,” he said before taking a deep breath.

She rolled her eyes.

“Can you let me go now!” she spoke rudely. “Why were you worried? I was at work.”

“I know it’s just that I expected you to come early. I understand since it was your first time at work. There was a lot to do at the office,” he said as he sat beside her. “You hungry? I cooked some rice.”

“No! I just want to go and sleep. Where are the kids?”

“There are asleep. They tried waiting for you but I told them to go and take some rest since tomorrow they are going to school. Should I go and pour your water in the bucket?”

“Yes, please. I need to take a bath. I am so exhausted.”

He stood up and took the bucket. He poured the hot water which was in the kettle in it. He took the bathing soup and her towel and went to put in the bathroom.

“You can go and bath,” he said with a smile.

While she was bathing, he was washing her clothes. He finished and started polishing her shoes. She had gone to sleep when he switched off the lights after washing the dishes. He layed on the bed beside her.

He woke up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for her and the kids.

“Good morning!” he greeted as she walked in the sitting room. “Breakfast is ready.”

“I am late I will buy something on my way.”

“It’s seven. I am sure your boss won’t mind. If you arrive at work around seven-thirty.”

“Do you go to work?” she asked.

He kept quite.

“Exactly! I don’t want to get fired,” she said grabbing her bag.

“Have a nice day!”

She ignored him and slammed the door in his face. She took a taxi at the office. Upon arrival she watched her park his car. He noticed her and waited for her by the car. She put on a smile that he could see it from a distance. She was dressed in a mini black dress. She stumbled and broke her heel. He ran to her and helped her.

“Oh my heel! How am I going to work today?” she said holding it.

“It’s my fault. I couldn’t stop staring at you. Your wonderful body. Anyway,” he lifted her up. “Lets go shopping.”

“Put me down!” she said laughingly.

“As if you want me to.”

He put her in the car and drove off.

“Pick what ever you want. I own this place,” he said.

“Are you serious? These stuff are expensive. What are you trying to do?”

“Nothing I have no intentions or whatsoever,” he said getting close to her. “Since you….”

He was so close now she could smell his perfume.

“Since what?” her voice was little more than a husky whisper.

“You became my secretary. Never mind.”

She trembled as he looked down at her, his eyes as dark as the depths of the ocean. Nervousness suddenly washed over her.

“You can pick what you want,” he moved away from her confusing her even more.

Was she attracted to him? He just stared at her and smiled.

Episode 6

After shopping they passed by the saloon. She had her hair done and he paid for it. It was around two-thirty in the afternoon when he drove with her at his house.

“We didn’t go at the office today,” she said licking her ice cream.

“I am the Boss and by the way it’s a holiday today. I just want to show you my house. I hope you don’t mind,” he said with a smile, his eyes focused on the road.

“It’s too late to say NO since we driving there.”

“I promise to drive you home early today. I don’t want to get you in trouble with your husband,” he said.

“You won’t.”

In few minutes he parked his car at a green gate. The gateman opened the gate. He drove in and parked the car at the garage. He got off first to open the car door for her.

“Welcome to Sauerstown. This is my house.”

“Wow! So big,” she said looking around.

“Let’s go in,side please,” he said leading the way.

He opened the door and she got in,side first. The house was well decorated.

“This is beautiful. It looks neat.”

“Take a sit,” he offered. “Champagne?”

“Yes, please.”

She walked around the house.

“I can’t believe I am in your house.”

He placed the glasses on the table and came close to where she was standing. Too close. Her first reaction was to step back, but she stood her ground and met his gaze head on, despite the pounding of her heart and the race of her pulse. Something in his expression had changed. He really wanted to k-ss her. She on the other side couldn’t help but look into his dark eyes. He stepped closer and the air seemed alive with something she had never experienced before. Yes, she felt attracted to him. His gaze dropped from her eyes and lingered on her l-ips and she realised she was biting her bottom lip. The tension of waiting to hear what he really wanted was too much. Her stomach fluttered wildly and she had to concentrate hærd just to breath. Her attraction to him was becoming stronger. If he turned on the charm as he had last night she would be lost. Worse still, if he tried k-ssing her again she didn’t think she’d be able to resist.

“You look beautiful,” he said softly.”Shall we drink?” He moved backwards

“Yes, sure.”

They sat beside each other. As she took a sip, she felt his gaze. In a bid to rein in her rising and very mixed emotions she all but downed her drink in one go.

“Steady,” he smiled. A mocking smile. “That drink is pretty content.”

She looked at the almost empty glass. The remains of the liquid looked more like a soft drink, but it’s effect on her head was already clear. Whatever was she trying to do to herself? She put the glass down and turned to look at him.

“So,” she cleared her throat. “Where are your parents?”

“My mother died. Dad married another woman.”

She looked at his throat as he took the drink in one go. He looked at her.

“The toilet?”

Nerves made her voice quiver as she finally acknowledged the attraction she felt for him

“This way,” he said sitting up.

He led the way and showed her the toilet. She took a deep breath and looked herself in the mirror. Thinking about her husband and kids. Knowing how much Andrew loved her. She didn’t want to mess it up by falling for Max. She washed her hands and opened the door.

“Are you okay?” he asked. “I heard you talking to yourself in there.”

“I am fine. We can go back,” she said walking but her grabbed her hand and pushed her against the wall.

He k-ssed her fingers and before she knew how she was in his arms, her body pressed close to his. Fire tore through her as she k-ssed him, giving way to all the new emotions she was battling with. She wanted him with a fierceness that shocked her. He deepened the k-ss, his arms pressing her close against him, leaving her in no doubt that she needed to stop things now. She pulled back from him, her heart racing, and her breathing fast.

“I can’t Max.”

“Can’t what?” his voice was hoarse and he tried to k-ss her again.

“This,” she said, moving back from him. “We shouldn’t be doing this. I am married.”

“I know I am sorry. Let me drive you home,” he said and she followed behind him.

The drive to her house was quite. She didn’t say anything to him and neither did he. He parked the car at her house. She didn’t wait for him to open the car door. She was about to walk to the gate when he called out her name.

“You left your things. I brought for you,” he said handing it to her.

“Thank you!” she said avoiding eye contact.

She went in,side leaving him standing by the car. She opened the door and peeped by the window. He was still there.

“You back!”

She jumped on her feet.

“Andrew what is wrong with you?! You scared me up!” she yelled.

“I am sorry I didn’t me..”

“Whatever,” she cut him short and sat on the sofa.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you angry or piss you off. Bad day at work?”

She nodded.

“You bought new clothes?”

“Whats with the questions?” she spoke rudely.

“I am sorry. I won’t ask again, so sorry,” he said politely. ” Let me bring you, your food,” he said and walked to the kitchen.
