Secret Desires

CHAPTER 5

KEITH

   I woke up feeling a bit better and my swellings didn't throb as much. I took a bath and changed into new clothes. I wanted to stay in my room but I was getting hungry and I didn't want to bother Monique so I decided to go to the kitchen to get some food.

  I entered the kitchen and found Monique pinned against the counter by Isaiah, he was kissing her but it didn't seem right. It wasn't a passionate kiss at all, it seemed like a let's-just-get-this-over-with kind of kiss from his side.
 
   I just shrugged but I soon realized that I had been staring. Monique caught me and chuckled while gently pushing Isaiah away. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment and I bowed my head not wanting to meet either of they eyes.

"I'm sorry" I muttered turning to walk away.

"It's okay, you must be hungry, I was making pancakes before this one distracted me" she said pointing at Isaiah with a warm smile befire pecking his lips.

  I faked a smile and she motioned the both of us to the table before briefly leaving to get the food. We sat opposite each other which we didn't notice until after. The intense apologetic stares I was getting was making me uncomfortable and I began to squirm in my seat.

The awkwardness faded immediately the steamy hot pancakes and syrup was dropped in front of me.  It smelt amazing.

"Thank you" I said to her and she nodded with a bright grin.

  I waited for her to serve Isaiah and herself before digging in. She cooks really well, better than Mrs Gibson.

"How's the food?" she asked no one in particular so I answered first.

"Best pancakes ever" I honestly said with a warm smile which we responded with her own happy grin.

"It's good" Isaiah muttered uninterestedly but she just ignored the attitude and continued eating but it was obvious that she expected more than a mutter.

  Why is he hurting her feelings like this? He hurt me but he shouldn't hurt Monique. It's obvious that she's a nice woman and he doesn't deserve some one like her.

"Um... I have something to say"  I said and they both dropped their forks to listen to me.

"Go on" Monique said motioning me with her hands as well.

"I really appreciate you taking care of me and all and I don't think I can ever repay you but I really wish I could continue working for Isaiah again" as soon as I finished, she stared at Isaiah whose face was expressionless for a while before answering.

"That's not a problem" she said with a smile tugging on her lips.

"Maybe today? I'm really bored doing nothing" I said and she nodded.

"You boys can start work after breakfast while I go out" she said and we both nodded before we all continued eating.

.......

   Monique had left a few minutes ago and I am currently standing outside Isaiah's room. I actually want to do the work but without the awkwardness.

  I eventually knocked and then allowed in. He was just putting on a shirt and I couldn't help but look at the toned body before it was quickly cover by his shirt.
 
  The way his muscles contracted and dilated as he moved was breathtaking. I eventually mentally scolded myself for lustfully staring at a married man and took my eyes off him.

"You can start by going to the um.....uh....basement to sort the files, I'm a mess with papers" he said with a light chuckle and I straight faced nodded.
