Obsession

Chapter 6

Katya's Pov

Ok, the truth is I've never been really good with people. I am an introvert who needs to live and raise her daughter so of course I lied in my resume and said that I am good with people.

Now, not only do I need to smile and greet politely, make meaningles conversations and phone calls, but I also have to appologise to my boss for my behaviour. I swear, it's like I forgot all the dating slang. Never in a million years have I thought that an invite to a coffee can have double meaning.

However, to make matters less awkward I bought a cup of coffee for my boss, so that we can laugh and forget about yesterday. Hopefully he will find it amusing as well.

Vladimir's Pov

I lnow I shouldn't, but a part of me really hopes that she knows what I meant yesterday when she invited me in.

The entire night I fascinated about actually going in and finally have her, unfortinately the thought that her husband is there as well stopped me. Not for long tho, soon my plot will be completed and I will "console" her in my arms, she will probably cry in the begining and I hate myself for that, but I will make her forget everything about him.

Full of excitement, I start typing my brother's name in my phone to see where my file is when I am being intertupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I say as I put my phone away. In the door stands Katya with a cup of coffee.

"Good morning Vlad, I brought you a cup of coffee as an apology for my behaviour yesterday. I didn't want my invite to be misinterpreted and awkward" she basically says the words as if she memorized them and that makes me feel good.

At least, she thought of me since yesterday, not how I imagined, but it's a start.

"So, you've been thinking a lot about me?" I say and I study her movement. And I am delighted when I see her blush again...hmm, maybe she thought about me more than I think. Did she think about me when she laid in bed with her husband? Did she tell him about me, about how I gave her a ride home, how she invited me in? Did he knows that she blushes every time I look at her? Does he still make her blush?

"Excuse me?!" She interrupts my thoughts again, "what do you mean?!"

"It seems like you learnt what you just told me by heart, almost like a poem, did you think a lot about how to make our encounter today less awkward?"

"Well yes, I am sorry if my invitation seemed to be something else...., I had no idea of it's double meaning, so when I mentioned it to my brother he suggested that..."

"Your brother?!" I say

"Yes, my brother, he was there yesterday when I arrived home."

"So, where is your husband?!" I am almost too excited to ask.

"My husband, well...he, uhm he was..
not there?!"

"I see. Don't worry, no harm was done, I could see on your face what you actually meant by inviting me in. There was no need for this apology, also, I know you are not the type to cheat on your husband" and as I say my last sentence I wink and I can see remorse flashing on her eyes. Now that's interesting, maybe she already cheated or maybe he is actually cheating and this will make my case way easier. "If there's nothing else I have a phone call to make. Thank you for the coffee!"

"Nothing else - thank you for your understanding!" She says as she turns to leave. And God - that back of hers!

"Hello, little brother!" I say as soon as he picks up the phone "how's the investigation going?"

"Going...I was just about to come into your office to hand it to you, but of course you have the patience of a baby" he says as he comes in.

"Now, now....stop complaining and tell me, anything good?"

"Of course, your new secretary" he starts laughing as he adds "I bet she feels good" and I might punch him in his annoying face.

"Listen to me, stay away from her...she is married! And she will only be mine" I warn him.

"Yeah, yeah...if you say so."

"Well, what are you waiting for - you know where the door is, you can leave now!"

"And miss your studying time? No way!" He says as he makes himself comfortable.
