The Billionaire's Heiress

11 - Poor Boy

Madison

I woke up on my bed, I had a strange dream. I dreamed about William, that we fucked in the kitchen. And I have a headache, this morning sucks. 

I removed the duvet wrapped around me, then I felt something completely wrong. I am not wearing my underwear anymore. I remembered I am wearing one before I go to bed. 

Oh no, maybe it's not a dream. I did in fact slept with William again, just another mistake of mine. 

I looked at my clock, and noticed the time says 10:23 am. I'm late, I'm late for work!

I hurriedly grabbed my phone from the bedside table. Jeremiah called about six times already. 

I dialed his number. 

Jeremiah: You're finally awake!

Me: I'm sorry I had a lot of things to process last night, I overslept. 

Jeremiah: That's alright, I already called your mother to check on you. She said you're very much exhausted last night. 

Me: Yeah, I was worried about the whole thing, me handling Nolan's business too. It's a lot to process. 

Jeremiah: I understand, I told Ms. Fernandez it might take a few days before you can visit in Vermont. Let's use those days to plan things for Vermont so we can handle everything well. 

Me: We can start now

Jeremiah: We start tomorrow, have the day off. You don't have to worry around here, there's no big meeting coming. 

Me: Thank you Jeremiah, I owe you a lot. 

Jeremiah: You owe me nothing. Take care, and tell the kids I say Hi. 

Me: Sure, bye. 

I hang up, and started to gather my scattered thoughts. How can I come clean with William? 

I went downstairs, and saw my Mom and William talking. 

"You're awake" Mom said. 

"Uhmm yeah, I missed work so I'm taking the day off." I told her. 

"The boys are in school, William dropped them off, because the driver called sick today." Mom said. 

"Thank you, William." I told him. 

"It's nothing." He replied. 

I looked at my Mom and she's carrying a bag. 

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked her. 

"Yes, I promised Francine I'll come with her to the Salon." Mom said. 

"Alright." I told her. 

"What about you William?" I asked him. 

"I'm free today." He said. 

"Alright." I told them. 

I left the two of them and I proceeded to go in the kitchen to try to remember whether what happened between us is real or a dream. 

I looked at the kitchen and it seems clean. The maids are already washing the dishes when I came. 

"Good morning, Mrs. Newman." one of the greeted. 

"Good morning." I told them as I try to look around. 

"I want pancakes please." I told them. I crave for pancakes at the moment. 

"Yes, Ma'am" the maid replied. 

"Call me when it's ready." I told them. 

I didn't see anything connected about last night, and so I left and got back to the living room. 

Mom is already gone and William is still there. 

"Madison." He said. 

"Yes?" I told him. 

"Would you like to talk?" William asked. 

"Sure" I told him. 

I sat on the couch, like I was completely clueless about last night. Last night that I think is a dream. 

"It occurs to me that you like me." He said. I don't how to react, how can he say that? 

"Wait. What?" I said.  I hate to admit I like him, but not in the way that I want to pursue a romantic relationship with him, it's too risky. I should definitely use my brain in making such decisions. 

"You liked what we did, you even told me 'shut up and kiss me'" he said. 

"Did I? I don't really remember much of it." I told him. 

"You like me, you just don't want to admit it." he said. 

"You know maybe I'm so stressed last night and you know I'm not in the right mind." I told him. 

"Whatever you say" he said. 

--------------------------

After  eating brunch and changing to my usual home clothes, I decided to come in the backyard. I just sat down and looked at the pool that we never use. 

In a few days I'll be leaving Connecticut for a while to go to Vermont. I don't know how long it would take for me to be there. It may take weeks and I am going to miss my children. 

After a while, William appeared. Why is he always have to be here? 

"Hey" I told him. 

"Penny for your thoughts" he said. 

"How long will you be here?" I asked him. 

"I have a two more days. You still have two more days to have me." He said. 

"You know I told you so so many times that I can't be with you." I told him. 

"Yes, and I keep telling you that you can be with me." He said. 

"William, I can't I just can't." I told him. 

"Why?" He asked. 

"I can't tell." I told him. 

"Is it because I'm not rich like your husband?" he asked. 

"No, it's not like that." I told him. 

"Then what? I can't think of any reason why you won't be with me." He said. 

"I told you before I have three young children, I have a business to run and I don't have the time to be involved with anyone." I told him. 

He comes close to me and kisses me. I don't know why words fail me, and actions show that I actually want him, and so I kissed him back. 

"Madison, woah!" It's Jeremiah's voice. The kiss ended, and I am ashamed that Jeremiah saw that. 

"Hi, you're the guy at the Bookstore, right?" Jeremiah said. 

"Yes, nice to see you again." William said. 

"Do you mind if I speak to Madison for a while?" Jeremiah asked. 

"No, I don't" William said then he walks away from us. 

"What was that?" Jeremiah asked to me. I don't know what to say to him. 

"It's nothing." I told him. 

"Now I'm guessing he's the guy you decided to meet outside the office the last time." Jeremiah said. 

"Yes he is, but we're friends." I told him. 

"Friends that are kissing?" Jeremiah said. 

"You know what will happen if the world knows what's happening with you two? Well not the world, but Camilla or the rest of the Newmans. It won't be good." Jeremiah added. 

"I know that" I told him. 

"Even if he looks like Charles on the outside, it's not going to be good. I hope you find a way to end what's going on, for you and your children's safety." He said. 

How will I end this with William?
