I Want You To Want Me

chapter 18: for the kids' sake

Everything was almost back to normal. Ambrose hadn't bothered her for almost 3 weeks. She felt great. She was beginning to think he was getting dangerously obsessed with her. It wasn't long before someone bust her bubble.
Her kids, Jamie and Lisa were in 5th grade. Very intelligent and well behaved. They never got involved in fights. That's why she was surprised when the principal of their school called her. Jamie had been in a fight and he had almost broken the other kid's arm in a fit of rage. The principal, Mr Smith was in shock too. Jamie was among the quietest kids in school. He wouldn't hurt a fly.

"Why would you do something like this Jamie?" Larissa asked him. She couldn't think of a single reason why Jamie would want to hurt anyone.
Jamie started crying. He wasn't pretending. "He called me a fatherless freak" Larissa frowned. She knew this day would come. It came sooner than she thought. She had to introduce them to their father. They deserved to know.

She didn't want to but she knew she had to.
Ambrose was in his office, in the middle of a very important business meeting when his phone rang. He switched it off without checking who it was.
After the meeting, which was two hours later he switched it on. He had three texts from Larissa. He was stunned and happy.
She wanted to meet him. It sounded urgent.
He called her.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get to you sooner. I was super busy. Want me to come over?"
Larissa rolled her eyes "no thanks. Where are you?"
"I'm at my office"
"Okay. Where can we meet? We need to talk. This is important."
"Well, since you don't want me to come to your place. You could come here. Sound good?"
She agreed and he told her where to find him.
It was a thirty minute drive from her house to his workplace. The building was impressive. The interior was even better. It was a billion dollar company after all. The receptionist was a blond haired woman. She was wearing a lot of make-up. "Is Mr Garcia in?" Larissa asked nicely. The woman looked at Larissa with disdain. She didn't respond. "Well?" Larissa was impatient. "If you don't have an appointment you're wasting your time" she said rudely. Larissa decided to call Ambrose. Speaking with the receptionist was yielding no results.
Within a few minutes Ambrose was on the first floor, where Larissa was. He wanted to escort her to his office himself.
"I'm glad you could make it" he was happy to see her. Unfortunately for him the feeling was not mutual. They got on the elevator. "You could have just told your receptionist to let me in. You didn't have to come. Its not like I was gonna get lost." She felt really uncomfortable around him.
"I know but then I wouldn't get a chance to do this" he pressed stop. He walked closer to her and pinned her arms against the wall of the elevator. He started kissing her neck. She struggled but he was too strong for her. "Give me a second chance Larissa" he said in a deep voice that sent shivers down her spine. He knew all her weaknesses. He nibbled her ears. She was getting weaker and weaker. She tried to resist but her body betrayed her. "If you want me to stop just say so and mean it"
Her mind was yelling the word stop many times but the only thing that came out of her mouth was a moan. Ambrose had her right where he wanted her. He started kissing the exposed part of her chest. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from moaning but it was no use. The lust was too great and it was overpowering her. Ambrose was winning until his phone rang. 'I knew I should've left it on my desk ' he said to himself. It killed the mood immediately. Larissa secretly thanked the caller for saving her.
"I'm busy, what do you want" he was annoyed. The caller was Cindy and she did not like his tone. She hung up. Ambrose couldn't care less. "Now where were we?" He said it with a smirk on his pretty face. His office was on the twelfth floor. She pressed twelve. "On the way to your office". He almost had her.
