AFTER HOURS ✔

61

We were on our way back as Felix was driving back to our condo.

The silence of the nights was crippling in but unlike earlier this was comfortable.

" Felix thank you for what you did today " I thank him and was looking towards him.

He looks at me smiles at me and I do the same.

He lets his hand reach onto my cheek and caresses me.

I close my eyes letting to feel his touch.

We reached Condo and he did not let me go to my place, asking me to stay in his.

I got changed to his dress and was not weird about it.

I walk out of the washroom once I got changed to his tee and shorts

He was sitting at the edge of the bed while he saw me, his eyes widened.

I stand there nervously but if I do know something.

Something has changed.

I plop onto the bed beside him.

" You should probably wear these often," he says pointing onto his tee that I was wearing.

" They are comfy", I say truthfully.

We were sitting beside one another on his bed, I turn to face him and lean in to kiss his cheek.

I feel his skin on my lips as he catches me by surprise pulling me onto the bed as he gets on top of me, stretching my hand over my head.

While I was breathing heavily, our eyes interlocked with each other.

" Loren " he rasps.

" Harper " I respond.

He slides beside me pulling the duvet over for both of us.

I snuggle closer to him while he plays with my hair and I am in slumber.

" I am tired of all this..." I failed to hear what he had to say, sleep overtook me.

The next morning

I sit on the bed, stretching my hand, Felix wasn't here which I noticed and I sigh.

Get a grip Loren my inner voice says and I left his place.

I made him some breakfast before leaving, it was the least I could do for him.

I reach my place and start to get ready to go to the Servaceee company since the runway is happening soon.

I get ready as I pack things to go to the office.

" Hello I am Helen, how can I help you?", the receptionist asks me with a smile.

" I am Loren Woods" before I could complete what I was about to say, she intertwines me.

"Oh Got it, it's pleasure meeting you, please this way " she leads me and I follow her.

This place was so epic.

The interiors were also so cool and scream designer.

" Hey I am the one you've been in contact with these last few days, I am Maria" Maria introduces herself and stretched her hand for a shake, I accept it.

She nods at the receptionist as she leaves us

" Please take a seat, " Maria asks me and I do the same.

" Here " I give her my book of works, she starts to examine my works.

" Wow Loren you never fail to impress me", she says astounded

" Thank you, Maria "

She continues to check my work and with every second her smile grows wide.

" This is it, this is the one," she says tapping onto one of the designs that I sketched which is also one of my personal favourites.

She wrote something down.

" The designers will get these done," she says and I nod in agreement.

"Here "she hands me keys, I look at her confused.

" This is key to the studio where your completed dresses will be there," she says.

" I expect you to keep this confidential " she continues.

" Yes, I will keep that in my mind" I respond to her.

" That would be it, you can go to the place after three days, the dresses will be done by then if you need any changes you know who to call " she guides me.

" Yes I know, thank you I shall take my leave now ", I say as I stand up to walk out.

I take my car to check the place once so I would be familiar with the address for future reference.

Once I found it, I was driving back to my home.

It was dark already.

Time flew by. Well, what can I say?

I hear my phone ring and see the id ' dickhead '

I laugh to myself.

" Hello Felix ", I say as I pick the call.

" Hey Woods "he chirps.

" I am on my way back," I say to him

" Come to the terrace once you are here," he says and I say okay before he hangs up.

What's going on with him?

Is this something like a blast from the past or something like that?

I continue to drive home, while the drive felt like forever.

I get into the elevator rushing to reach my place.

I see there was a box below that had a bow on it along with an envelope.

I pick it up as I walk into my place.

I rip the box open carefully, and see a note

' Wear Me : ) ' I laugh.

My mouth was wide open at the wine red dress in front of me.

Damn.

Holy God.

This is so gorgeous.

I go take a quick shower and wear the dress excited.

It fits me like a dream.

I turn around checking myself in the mirror.

My hairs were still wet, so I just let them like that.

Wearing the stilettoes which were in the box.

I pick the note which had Felix's handwriting

' Dear M&M,

Please join me at our AFTER HOURS spot. I will be waiting.

P.S use the stairs.

Yours,

Felix '

I walk out onto the stairs, as I was turning I saw a bouquet which I now down to pick up and see it also has a note which was in the envelope.

' Don't read me yet ' it stated so I kept it
