His secret

chapter 29

I feel weird, today when I was leaving for work I saw singular flower on the floor when I opened the door 

Was it Kaiden?

"Are you okay" Kate asks

"Yeah, I just saw someone left flower on my door"

"What about it"

"It's been three days, every day for past three days, I'm not sure who it is"

"It's fine, no need to worry" she rolls her eyes, she brushes it off as if it's nothing

"Ugh what's that on your neck" she come closer to see

"Please tell me you burned yourself with a curling iron and it's not a hickey" her eyes widened, and i almost smile

I don't say anything for a second, I didn't realize I had it,

"I don't own a curling iron" I whisper

Her eyes widened "oh" left her mouth

"But you said you don't have a boyfriend, did you lie to me?"

"No, I didn't, it's just complicated, I'm sorry I need to go, I'll be late for work" I say and then walked away

I hope I didn't hurt her feeling, she expression did change when I said that it's complicated

"Hey mamas" voice that never fails to annoy me

I cringe my face "Kori this is the first and last time you'll call me that"

Sly smile crosses his face "do you hear anything, hey mam-" i cut him off

"I hear sound of shutting the fuck up"

"Use that energy with the boss of yours, he's not in the mood and I have some bad news to tell him" he looks at me with puppy eyes

"What"

"Wanna do it for me"

"N-" before I could decline he spoke again

"I'll buy you materials for your new sewing project"

"Done" I agree, and if you think I'll make him buy some cheap materials god he's wrong

He told me what I need to tell him

"I'll be waiting here" he leans on my desk

I go inside and see stressed Kaiden

"Hey" I whisper and his head snaps towards me

His gaze softens "yes"

"You seem stressed are you okay" I ask him

"Haven't slept" I can tell, I also know how that feels, sleepless nights I mean

"Can't catch a break?"

"Do you want me to?" He asks and I slowly nod

"I like what you're wearing" did he just complicated me?

"Thanks, you bought it for me" i remind him

It's nothing much, just a simple outfit,

"Take a seat" I suggest as I sit on his couch

He stands up and lays his hand on my legs, he closes his eyes for a second and I admire his features

Clean skin, considering how much he's stressing surprisingly he doesn't have any wrinkles

"Don't stop" he says when I stop playing with his hair, I didn't ever realized I started it

I stare at his lips, they look good, I wanna kiss them
