" You remind me of a line from a poem I once read. " I slowly get up and start to caress his face.
" Oh really? Which poem?" he asks with a smirk on his handsome face, probably thinking that my answer will amuse him.
"It's called "For woman who...

****************************
For a moment there is nothing more than silence.
His words have frozen me to the ground.
We are looking in each other's eyes without saying anything.
My panicked brown to his dangerous green.
I really do not know how I should interpret his words. On top of that I am too scared that the answer might not be to my liking, that only if I have the guts to dare ask him what he meant.
"Don't look so frightened "he tells me while a little smirk is playing on his luscious lips.
"I am not afraid." I harshly replay while frowning my eyebrows.
I really have to stop embarrassing myself, I will not allow him the satisfaction of making me feel uncomfortable.
"Oh, Miss Parker there is no reason to deny the obvious, but this time I will let it pass because time is pressuring me. I will tell you this quickly and I expect that you will listen very carefully, because I really do not like repeating myself. "
He gets up from his chair and starts to walk towards me. And as I comprehend his action I also take a few steps back wanting to put as much distance between us as possible. I don't want him anywhere near my private bubble. I can barely stand being in the same room as him, any more proximity between us and I will not be able to restrain myself from choking him with his stupid tie.
"You will be mine for the next 6 months. Wherever I will go you will be there right by my side, every party, every gathering and every event. "he suddenly says as casually as if we are just discussing lunch, not the fact that he is close to buying me a leash and walking me around the park.
"What?" I ask stupefied.
"You heard me Miss Parker, I am not going to repeat myself."
"You must be insane. First how dare you say that you will own me? I am not an object that you can just slap a stamp on and yell mine. I am a person, may I remind you."
He must be mad if he thinks that I will just listen to him and obey his command.
Firstly, how dare he?
This man just assumed that he can come and order me to spend time with him and I will just bow down in front of him.
"Miss Parker, listen to me." but he doesn't even have the time to finish his sentence, before I feel the need to start my vent again.
"And also how desperate must you be if you just order women to go out with you. Are you lacking that much in that department? "
In a blink of an eye he was in front of me. His once clear green eyes are now darkly clouded with anger.
I realize that maybe my words were a bit too much. But I don't really care anymore. Now I am also angry. And my angry, was never a pretty sight.
"Don't kid yourself Miss Parker, you are far from the women a man like me is supposed to have near him, so please don't unnecessarily flatter yourself "
Ouch!
"Then? Why do you need me Mr.Makariy?" I really don't understand him.
If I am not what you want, then how come am I what you need?
"That is not something you need to worry your pretty head about. I have my reasons, and who knows, maybe if you are a good girl I will tell you someday." he answers my question with his voice full of superiority.
The nerve of this man!
"What? I refuse your so called offer." I answer even though I could feel something inside of me is appealed by his proposition, that part of me I locked away a very long time ago.
"Not so fast Miss Parker, I am not finished yet"
"Excuse me?"
"Initially I didn't want to do this, I thought we could reasonably come to an agreement but it seems that you are forcing my hand Miss Parker"
Forcing his hand, as if....how could he be so annoying?
"Oh please, do tell" I replay with voice full of sarcasm and mockery.
"If you refuse, I will personally make sure to close that little newspaper you care so much about."
The second I comprehend his words the air is cut out from my lungs and I begin having trouble breathing.
"What?" was all I could manage to get out, my throat constricting out of fear preventing me from saying anything else.
"Don't make me repeat myself sweetheart, you heard exactly what I said"
"But you said.."
"I know what I said, but now that I recall the incident again, I really feel insulted by your team's lack of respect and seriousness. Every action has a repercussion." he informs me
"How can you be so cruel?" I ask and mentally cringe at the audible crack in my voice at the end of the sentence.
He has me at his little finger and he knows that very well.
"So Miss Parker? What do you say?"
I remain silent and just look straight in his eyes searching for something. What is that I am searching, I don't know. Maybe a twinkle or a spark or anything that can assure me that this won't go as bad as I imagine it will.
"Miss Parker.."
But I didn't find anything. Just cold and dark green and that permanent spark of mischief.
"No, no miss Parker, let me talk. I accept your proposition and not because of your charming ways or what so ever, but because you blackmailed me. So here is how this thing between us is going to go down. This will be a purely business relation, nothing more. I will accompany you at your stupid events and I will act civilized but for more than that you do not exist for me. You will never force me to do anything that I don't want."
I spit the words in anger. He was going to regret ever messing with me.
" I heard you miss Parker and I will consider your demands." he ensures me, in a pitiful attempt to show that he isn't so inconsiderate.
" Consider? No sir, those rules will be your new Bible, so you better learn them by heart" I huff feeling like no matter what I do, he will never listen to me.
"I will come up with a contract and a NDA agreement where the both of us can name our terms and conditions."
" Okay Mr. Makariy, but know that I will not sign anything that doesn't please me"
" I would be disappointed if you did Miss Parker" and for the first time since we met, a small smile kisses his lips. A real smile.
"So I will be seeing you tomorrow at 12 Miss Parker. My driver will pick you up so you don't have to worry about punctuality seeming that it really is not your forte. "
I choose to ignore his slight insult and just be the bigger person, well figuratively speaking at least.
"I understand. Have a good day Mr. Makariy" I say while steeping closer to the grey doors.
The moment I open them I can hear his voice loud and clear behind me.
