The Billionaire

Chapter 7

- Chris POV -

Oh shit, I hadn't meant to call her my woman. Dude, you gotta play it cool now.

"Yeah you are my woman, any woman that lives with me is mine and I am theirs."

I looked at her face as it contorts into an expression that I can't quite comprehend. She started smiling and I was wondering "Is she happy that I called her my woman" until she burst out in laughter. 

Now that really confuses the shit outta me.

"What's so funny?"

"What kind of logic is that? 'any woman that lives with me is mine and i am theirs' are you insane?" She laughed at me and looked at me as if i grew 2 heads.

I then rolled my eyes then walked off, done with her childish behaviour. 

- Alexi POV- 

Oh shit, is he mad that i laughed at him. I didn't mean it that way. It was just funny to me. Plus, in no way, am i his woman. Who is he to make such claims? Oh right, the oh so great, oh so mighty Christian Cruzelo. Ugh. 

- NO ONE POV-

In that moment, Alexi noticed an elderly woman going around the house dusting. Alexi rushed over to her to ask her where she could find Mr. Cruzelo. The lady pointed her to the upstairs and told her that it was the last room all the way at the back, the room with double doors. 

Alexi huffed in defeat, climbing up the stairs, preparing an apology for Chris. As she walked down the hallway of the second floor, she noticed that he collected quite a few art pieces and admire them for a while. 

She finally reached the end of the hallway and stood in front of 2 big doors, feeling slightly nervous as to what might happen next. 

She knocked once, then twice then 3 times. All to no avail. She started calling out his name saying "Christian? Are you in there?" But yet, she still received 0 response. 

She held onto the door handle, contemplating if she should go ahead with opening the doors and inviting herself in. 

She decided to just go with it and opened the doors, letting herself into the room. As she entered, a blast of cool air hit her face. Realizing the AC was on, she closed the door behind her. 

She roamed around the room, admiring all that was in it. The big king sized silk made bed. The mirror placed on the ceiling directly above the bed. A half empty full sized walk in closet. The view from his room was just beautiful. It was a panoramic view of the city and she loved it. She slowly walked into the walk in closet, admiring all the apparels he owned, realising that he is a pretty stylish man himself. She left the closet and sat on the silk made bed and relaxed, looking at her reflection in the blackened TV right in front of her. 

As she took in everything in the room, she heard the shower turn off. She wondered to herself why had she not heard the shower up till now? But before she could come to a conclusion, out stepped Christian, with a towel wrapped, hanging low on his hips.

She sucked in a breath as she watched the water droplets drip from his hair, to his neck and all the way down to the chest and finally the crotch. It was hard for her, took some strength to be able to turn away and not eye rape him. 

He frowned. "What are you doing in my room?"

She stuttered and was speechless, too distracted by his godlike body. She then started to explain herself, saying that she wanted to apologise if she was rude before. He looked at her questionably, but accepted her answer and forgave her on the spot. She said her thanks and hurriedly left the room before she did something embarrassing or something she might regret. 

After closing the room door, she heaved a sigh of relief, wanting to retreat back to hers and take shower as well. Only then she realised that she doesn't know which room she was suppose to reside in. 

She turned back facing the double doors again, opening them slowly. When the door was fully open, she realised he isn't anywhere to be seen from her point of view. She then slowly entered the room again and realised he was butt naked, butt facing her, standing in his closet picking his outfit. She said an "Oh shit", he turned and she covered her eyes. 

She then heard a soft chuckle and Chris spoke "You can look you know, i am not ashamed of what i have to offer." 

"errr, its okay, please just get dressed. This is severely inappropriate between employer and employee." 

He laughed it off and walked out. 

"Thank god you're decent."

"What are you doing in my room, again?"

She then followed to ask him to show her to her room. 

"Alright. Follow me." He said as he walked through the double doors that she had left open.

Like a lost puppy, she followed him mindlessly.
