Chasing Rogue

Chapter 9

Chapter Nine:
Attached to the Mission

Sapphire

Three weeks has quickly gone by, and as expected the more him and I hung out; the more we grew closer and more attached to each other's presence. I blame it on my pregnancy hormones for missing him whenever he goes to work every morning. I would honestly have to hide because I don't want him seeing me cry.

Today I woke up tired and I realized that he was already gone, so I cried, as usual. I'm very attached to him and I hate it. He had this idea of staying in this house because I was all alone so he's also living in here now.

I wanted to see him really bad, and also my report has been pretty empty so I definitely needed to work on that. But what am I going to write about him that's related to my mission? That Beau Vega likes to cuddle when he sleeps? That he likes scrambled eggs in the morning because sunny side-up eggs are disgusting to him?

I made up my mind, I'm going to cook lunch for him and surprise him in his office as an excuse to see him and eat with him. For some reason, I feel the happiest when I eat with him. My day isn't complete unless I eat a meal with him.

After a few more crying sessions, and getting ready, I packed our lunch and headed to his office. The front-desk people were now more than happy to let me in without stopping me like last time.

"Goodafternoon, Ma'am Sapphire." The staff greeted me and I immediately smiled.

"Goodafternoon din sainyo." I beamed.

After walking away, I went inside the elevator and pressed the floor number to his office. I was in a good mood today, which was rare because I
was always cranky and moody because of the pregnancy. But today felt like sunshines and rainbows and I think it's all because of the thought that I'll get to see him.

Once I got off the elevator I was humming a song happily but my emotions were quickly washed off when I opened the door and saw a woman with her arms snaked around Rogue. I arched my brow in pure annoyance. Is this what 'No woman has been around' means? I mentally scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Come on baby, let's go out for lunch." She purs against his neck, completely ignoring my presence.

Rogue was in complete panic and in shock to see me standing by his office door. "Ingrid, please get off of me." He clears his voice, sounding irritated. I rolled my eyes and met his eyes, he didn't just look guilty, he looked like he was asking to be rescued.

"Listen to him, Ingrown." I scowled

She raises her brow and smirks, eyeing me up and down as if I'm some pest. "And who are you?" She cunningly asks.

"I'm Sapphire, the mother of his unborn child." I spat, clenching my jaw.

She seemed stunned, but it didn't last long for her to regain her attitude. "Mother of his child? He wouldn't even have sex with me, and I'm his girlfriend. But all of a sudden you're coming up here to tell me that you're pregnant with his child?" She sarcastically laughed and walked over to me.

I sarcastically scoffed. "Well he probably doesn't want to do the nasty with you because you look like a walking STD. You may be his self-proclaimed girlfriend but does he ever come home to you?" I challenged, mirroring her cunning facial expression.

She was about to hit me but I was quick to get ahold of her arm. "Don't even try laying a finger on me." I hissed.

"You bitch! Napaka-landi mo para ahasin ang boyfriend ko!" She screams at my face.

"Ingrid, get out! We both know we're not together, I don't care if your dad is one of the share-holders of this company, he can always be replaced, so go and stop pestering me." Rogue's voice echoed throughout the entire room and her and I both froze in fear.

He sounded so scary just now.

I was supposed to be angry at him too but what is this feeling? I could absolutely feel butterflies because of how he sounded when he spoke. I found it very attractive.

The girl Ingrid walked out in frustration and slams the door leaving me and Rogue alone. It was quiet for a minute, but then he decided to speak.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to rest because your back has been hurting so much lately?" I could sense worry in his voice, but I'm not here for it.

I sarcastically chuckled. "Yan na pala ngayon ang ibig sabihin nang 'No girl has ever been around since you'?" Tanong ko.

His face showed no emotion, I couldn't even read anything from his eyes down to his mouth, absolutely blank. "You heard me say it right? Her and I are obviously not together." He retorts.

"But why were you letting her snake her arm around you? Even calling you 'baby' and asking you out for lunch?" I pointed out..

He got up from his chair and walks over to where I was standing, I immediately gulped. I may describe him to be soft most of the time, but this man before me is intimidating as hell, whenever his eyes stare at me I often feel like I want to dissapear.

He smiles and caresses my face with one hand, the other was busy touching my hair. "Listen, I don't want our relationship to be toxic. I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy but I wouldn't want you acting like that, I know it can't be helped sometimes. But even if we're not together, I'd like you to know that I'm all yours." He mutters, face inching so close to mine that I could feel his hot breath fanning out each time he spoke.

"All mine, huh?" I click my tongue and smirked, of course I wasn't going to let myself be intimidated by anybody.

"Mhm." He nods and closes his eyes for a moment.

I can't help it, he was turning me on big time. "Well I wore this pretty dress today so we could eat lunch together." I pointed out and he actually checked me out. I could feel my abdomen pulsing.

"It's pretty, it looks good on you." He compliments me and kisses the side of my head. "Did you make that?" He eyes the lunch box that I've been holding the entire time.

"I did." I nod.

"I can't wait to try it, let's eat lunch?" He asks and smiles.

I knew that the lunch that I prepared for us was good, but I had something else in mind. I put the lunch box down on top of the coffee table, and after that I bent down below my knees so I could grab the hem of my dress.

"What are you doing?" He nervously chuckles.

I slowly pulled out my dress and threw it on a chair nearby. The cool air hitting my exposed body made me shiver a little bit.

"You said you wanted to eat lunch, right? Let's do it then." I smirked.
