Demola's POV

*

I squeeze the paper and toss it into the bin with a mini glare. Third final draft sample in twenty minutes. Just great.

Why did she have to make me upset?

If not that I love her and I was so bothered, it wouldn't have bothered me so much to this extent. We'll really need to have a lengthy talk when we get home and I need to explain where the source of my fears lie.

Then I'll show her who's the boss in the bedroom after our supposed 'talk'.

I still can't believe she did this when I was kissing her. She got me so bothered with her pretty lips and then left me without even giving me a little compensation. I heave a disturbed sigh, wondering why I've gotten so attached and easily influenced by her this much.

A knock on my door has me raising my head up.

Abdul enters with Oli and she runs to my side, smiling at whatever he told her.

"Where is Sophie?" Oli asks and looks around. I shrug.

"She should be in the cafeteria or reception. Having fun." I reply grimly.

"Oh, okay." She nods and shrugs while Abdul watches her with a hand tucked into his pants pocket.

Oli walks over to the left corner of my office where I arranged some toys in a large carton for her to play with whenever she visits and immediately she opens it to bring out some dolls, she gets lost in her own world.

Sophie comes to mind once more as I stare at Oli and a small smile graces my lips. She has grown so much in such a little while. She's less violent in school now and doesn't throw tantrums as much as she used to. Also, she loves Sophie so much and I'm glad Sophie was able to build this relationship between them within this short period of time.

Sophie is a nice young lady, only that she can annoy me to the extent of me pulling my hair out sometimes. She questions everything. But I'm also to blame because I don't explain things enough to her and I just order her to do them. I should work on that.

Sometimes I feel like keeping her to myself and away from the world forever but other times I feel like showing her to the whole world that she's all mine. Forever. She's so beautiful, innocent, caring and also sexy. I release a deep breath while staring at my table, distinctly hearing Oli speak to Abdul as they're in their own little world.

I so hope no guy hits on Sophie while she's out there because she'll just keep smiling like an angel while the man ogles her. She can be so unaware of her own beauty sometimes. She mightn't accept their cheap talks when they ask her out but she'll still listen, which I find weird because why would you listen to a guy who's hitting on you only to say, 'sorry I have a boyfriend' later on?

She says I am territorial and possessive but I really can't help it even if I try.

I used to be the same way with Simi, Oli's mom.

We were highschool sweethearts and Simi had been Brittany's best friend. I just couldn't keep my cool whenever I saw her getting too close with a guy or when they start flirting with her.

I knew every boy's tactic then, I still do.

That was why I impregnated Simi and glued her to my side.

She was taking birth control pill but I studied her and observed when she wasn't on it. Seducing her wasn't hard and when she was horny, we had sex. Lots of it.

It happened like that three times before she conceived. With her innocent and beautiful features, guys were all over her but when she got pregnant, the attention they gave her reduced.
