Is This Real Love?

I woke up in bed alone. I slowly sat up before grabbing my phone and turning off my alarm. I put on my boxers before walking downstairs. I saw her sitting at the table with her face covered. I slowly went to her and sat next to her.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah." She said sounding like she'd been crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked and rubbed her arm.

"It's nothing." She said, still covering her face.

"Then why can't you look at me?" She looked at me with red eyes. "What happened?"

"My mom died today.. Considering she's been alive and a city away this whole time really makes me feel wanted."

"Who told you?"

"My dad.. He knew where she was this whole time... He knew and he said nothing, I've been looking for my mom all my life and he kept her from me." She said before covering her face and starting to cry.

I hugged her and let her cry until she felt she was done.

"You want to take the day off? We can finish the project tomorrow if we need to." I told her.

"It's fine. We can finish it today. I rather get it done and take it in today." She said wiped her face.

"You sure?" I asked and rubbed her hand.

"Yeah." She said and stood up.

"Okay. I'm going to go take a quick shower." I told her and kissed her.

"Um.. Yeah. You do that." She said and slightly smiled.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"You have morning wood and it's poking me." She said and laughed.

"Oh. Wow, that's nice." I said and shook my head.

"Go get in the shower so we can finish the project." She told me.

"Okay." I said and smiled before going to my room.

I took a shower before getting dressed in my suit. I combed my hair and put on my shoes before going downstairs to see her already dressed and working.

"Who said you could start without me?" I asked as I sat next to her.

"I did." She said and smiled.

"Okay. So where are we?" I asked.

"All your designs are here and we need to organize your prints. Then we'll be done." She said and moved her hair behind her ear.

"Okay." I said and opened my folder.

Once we were done, we headed up to my office building. She was quiet and I didn't like it. Once we dropped off the project and had a meeting, I took her to my office and locked the door.

"What?" She asked

"Nothing." I said and walked to her.

"Then why-"

I picked her up and sat her on my desk before kissing her. I pulled away to breathe after making out with her for a long ass time. She just stared at me.

"What?" I asked and smiled.

"I don't like surprises." She said.

"It wasn't a surprise. It was in the heat of the moment." I told her.

"I'm not giving you any until I'm ready. Even if you sleep naked every night for real." She told me and smiled.

"You can think what you want but you're mine now and that means I can easily get you in the mood and up under me." I told her.
