WEAKNESS

CHAPTER 15-Breakdown

He raises his hand stroking my cheek, his rough hand seems to compliment the softness of my skin. "Talk to me", he says with pleading eyes. "There is nothing to say", I say hoping he buys my lie. "You know that's a big lie, where is your family?". That line hits me hard every time, I try to look down but he holds my head up so I'm looking into his eyes. I can tell he senses that because of pressing on he pulls me into a hug. For the first time ever in my life I feel a sense of belonging right there in his arms. I feel my strong walls began to fall and the tears I have been holding back since I was a child began to fall.

I don't know how long I had been crying in his arms but when I was done crying he lifted me up and carried me to my room. It felt good to cry but I was feeling exhausted, after putting me into bed and pulling my covers he laid down beside me after discarding his jacket and loosening his tie. He spooned me stroking my back till I fell asleep.

I woke up later overwhelmed by the tightness of my dress, I got u to find that Bradley was gone. I got undressed, had a shower and got dressed and sweatpants and a hoodie. I had a pounding headache so I decided to go ask Linda for some pain killers,looking at the watch it was 8pm. I hoped she was still around, I was scared to face Bradley after my breakdowasn't

Walking in the kitchen I find Bradley busy on his phone typing whilst eating upon hearing me walk in he looks up at me and smiles. "How are you feeling?".
"I could really use a pain killer", I say sitting down across him and resting my head on the table. He gets up goes to the cupboard then pours a glass of water and hands it to me,"Here , this will help". Thanking him I take the pills and wash them down with the water. "So you want to talk?", he asks with a sincere look in his eyes. Something about him makes me feel comfortable and u know I have made the mistake of trusting a guy before but I can't help it.

Before I know it I have told him about my family life (or the lack of) answering his question from earlier. By the time I finish I'm in tears,again! What the hell was wrong with me? Bradley gets up and hugs me tightly telling me he is sorry I had to go through that. I am glad to have spoken to him because not even my ex knew my whole story.

Once I have settled down he pulls away wiping away my tears with his thumb. This small gesture makes my tummy flutter and I'm overcome with emotion. Staring at his eyes I sense desire, I lick my lips as his face inches closer to mine.

The moment our lips touch its like a burst of emotions explodes. He pulled me off the chair and sits me on the table,his lips never leaving mine. I have been kissed before but no this way. My body is tingling and I let my hand roam his tone body as his are roaming mine. His hair is wet indicating he just showered and I can feel his muscles through his thin T-shirt and his growing member in his shorts. His lips leave mine going down my jaw to my neck, I grip him tighter and let a moan escape my lips. His one hand goes between my legs and I tense up.

I push him away out of breath,what was I doing? He is my boss and I had promised myself. Panicked he runs his hand through his hair, "Are you OK?"
"I'm fine", I say composing myself moving away from him.
He comes closer, "Then why did you push me away?". He pulls me close staring into my eyes. " Its wrong, you are my boss and...", I trail off not knowing how to say it. "You're a virgin?",he asks raising an eyebrow. I roll my eyes, "No I'm not!". I try to pull away but I cannot pull out of his grip. "Then what's wrong?, because as I recall you kissed me first knowing full well I'm your boss". Great he had to bring that up, "it was an accident!", I say getting annoyed. "No it wasn't, but for what its wort I wanted to kiss you too but I felt awkward being your boss and all", he says smirking.

"Goodnight Miss Mkhize",he says kissing me my forehead and walking away. All I can do is watch him leave.

Damn you Bob Steele for ruining intimacy for me!
