Man in black - sequel

16. Devil himself.

The silence that followed lasted long, long enough to scare me any chance of escape would be my saving grace.

" what's wrong darling let me take a look at it " Simon offered ,leaning forward using his thumb and index finger he separated my eyelids, my eyes desprate to find relief, without any prior notice he blew in my eye making me lose my balance not enough to fall but just enough to prove that I was getting all giddy with my fake husband blowing me while my real husband was watching 'Gosh it sounds so horrible like the title of some corny adult movie '  but with a couple of blows I found immediate relief gently rubbing my eyes I opened it at first glance I saw him sitting tall, his back resting on the backrest of the black leather couch his hair neatly jelled back not like how I remember this morning a mess, and his jaw was clenched just like his right fist that was placed on the armrest, his face showed no emotion.

" Are you alright Mrs Wakefield?"someone asked I just nodded my head replying my entire focus e on the blue eyes watching my every move, Simon guided me to the chair pulling it for me while I sat next to him with Duncan in front of me. Why Lord why just kill me trust me I could do anything now right now to get out of here. I never knew what people meant when they said your husband is scary, he's cold and now I am familiar, and let me tell you I never ever want to be at the receiving end of it.

I made sure to look anywhere but those blue eyes they were a death trail. Simon and the other people went ahead with the meeting while I couldn't keep focus as he was the one enveloping my entire senses, the buttons of his jacket completely undone, the clenched jaw those veined arms resting on the arm rest him toying with our wedding ring on his finger ,  the gentle tapping of his shoe against the floor, he knew what he was doing everything just everything about him bought a feeling inside of me that I had no words how to describe, it made me all hot and terrified at the Same time-gosh why does this man have so much control over me?

He leaned forward getting closer, and that is when I realized for the first time what people meant by my throat going dry. It went all dry like a barren land in the desert sucking out all the water , my red nail painted hands guided it self to the top of the table to grab a bottle of water. Simon held my hand " do you need something honey ?" He questioned , I pushed his hand away immediately trying to be subtle so that no one would notice.

I looked forward as a bottle was slipped in my direction , and I quickly averted my eyes as it met the blue ones . That was it any air that was left was sucked out of me, I quickly averted my gaze .

I grabbed the bottle unscrewing the cap I gulped its contents down " You should have just told me you wanted water baby " Simon said gently tucking my hair , there was aloud bang and screeching of the chair within seconds I couldn't understand what just happened I looked around noticing that Duncan wasn't there. Where did he go ?.

I looked around and everyone looked as shocked and confused as me" Where did he go ?" The client questioned. They looked worried making a few phone calls within a couple of minutes there was a call on the clients mobile he picked it up hastily , his sweaty fingers almost loosing the phone.

" Hello " he said clearing his throat. A smile immediately formed on his worried wrinkled face " Mathew !" He exclaimed bringing a sense of calm to every other person's face in the room he went on to listen to whatever Mathew was speaking on the other end for the next couple of minutes before he finally spoke "Definitely, thank you, will wait for the word " he said ending the call all of us watched him curiously he looked at us " hmm the meeting had been canceled for now, Mr. William had something to take care of "

Simon looked at me worriedly sensing his fear the client answered " Dont worry Mr Wakefield, the meeting will be rescheduled we really liked your proposal...so as of now don't worry have a good time with your wife " he said standing up and offering his hand for a shake.
