His Spur-of-the-moment Decision

Chapter Nine

(Mevrick's POV)

I don't know. Okay I know, I crave her. I want her,I don't know what she's doing to me, I kinda fund it hard that those her ex couldn't see her. I'm still glad they didn't cause I won't have her.
No, I don't have her. She's just a worker. I have to remind myself that but the thing is she's a temptation, I've never felt this kind of pull towards a girl before. It's...I don't know the word to use to describe it but I want to feel more.

She's your worker Mevrick. She's off limits.

Gee thanks.

I waited for her and we began driving. As I showed her around this part of town, I felt she was dull.
"Hey, did I say something wrong?"

"No, it's not you. It's just.." she sighed " isn't this too much?"

"What's too much?" I asked

"You know, us? We become all passionate indoors even if it is meant for outdoors. Don't you think it's too much?"

No. To me,we haven't started but she's right, that doesn't mean I'll agree to what she's saying
"The workers have to believe too."
Perfect excuse.

"Even behind close doors?"

"Yeah, I have a security team and they watch the cameras." Speaking of cameras I'll take some of them down.

"O..kay. So it was still about the contract." Her voice was low but I heard so I pulled over and faced her.

"Look, nothing about the kisses we shared were about the contract."

"Okay."

"Okay? Am I alone in this?"

"Well, no but I wish if we could just ignore it."

"Why?"

"I'm not good with attention."
I know it was mean but I laughed
"Not good with attention? Tessy listen I'm not trying to force any attention, the attention drags me. You're the attention so how can you not be good with it?"

"Well,.. ummm.." she cleared her throat it was clear she got uncomfortable

"I didn't mean it that way, I just." I sighed "You're beautiful and right now I think I'm the one who wants the attention, I usually get it but did you see the way everyone looked at you at the ball?"

"It's because I looked awkward."

"It was because you were awesome." I countered

"Why don't you just find a real fiancee?" She asked out of nowhere

"What?"
"Your mother is amazing and I feel bad for lying to her. Why don't you just come clean with her?"

"And what? Have her bring sluts my way?"

"Rick!"

"Look, I'm not the romantic guy, I'm more like the take it and drop it guy."

"You know you hurt girls in the process right?"

"It's not my fault. I warn them not to expect anything more than I have to offer but after one night,they decide I'm their knight in shining armor."

She laughed "Well, every girl will want that and besides you're hard to resist." I grinned hearing that from her
"Are you speaking out of experience?"

She cheeks went red like she was about to explode and she looked out the window. "Maybe."

"Maybe?" My smiled increased

"Stop." She smacked my arm and I laughed.
To be frank,I don't remember when I laughed but I always laugh when I'm around her.

"What's so funny?" She asked
