Secret Love

Chapter Three

He squeezes me even tighter. *What am I gonna do? I can't run away* contrary to his slender build, I could tell the man who's holding me is very strong. *So this is a man's body...* I can feel his heart pounding against my body. But before I notice his right arm is slipping around my waist. Oh shit, what do I do?!

Revered designer Mr. Anderson... holding me in his arms under these circumstances? I'm so nervous, I don't know what to do... *Hurry, whatever this is, let's get it over with* Pleading, I hold Mr. Anderson with my trembling hands. I think I just heard a chuckle at my ear.. *He's laughing?!* "Sorry, it won't be long." His whisper at my ear has a gentle ring to it. Without a word, I grab the hem of his jacket. But when I do I notice a woman approaching us, clicking her heels. She seems to be kind of angry. She's breathing hard, and she stops right in front of Mr. Anderson and I. "Found you!" She says staring at Mr. Anderson with bloodshot eyes. The ghastly expression spoiled her beautiful features. I'm not the one she's glaring at, but she scares me still.

Wait a minute, isn't she that model Amaya Esmie López? The charismatic model has a huge following among female office workers, even appearing in various TV programs recently. She's always smiling on TV, but Amaya can be this scary in real life. I think, as I find myself clinging onto Mr. Anderson, and feel him chuckle. The words he spits out right after, however are extremely low-toned and chilly. "You're in my way. This is how it is, so leave." "So, you're into girls like that now..." Amaya replies as she looks at me up and down. "A bootlicking piece of scum" she finishes. Is she talking about me?? Before I could reply to her bitchy comment, she turnes to me and says "No matter what you do, I'm the only girl for Noel. Enjoy your moment while it lasts." Barely giving us time to respond, she leaves, clicking her heels. "Hah, she's gone." says Mr. Anderson sounding relieved and takes a step or two away. A faint scent of his perfume lingers along with the warmth of his body and our bodies move as if a spell was broken. "U-um" I clear my throat to get his attention. "Huh?" he turns and looks at me like nothing happened. "What just happened?!" I ask him a bit freaked out.
