Forlorn Girl

Chapter 8

*Morning*
Alice
Hmmm..... it's so amazingly warm. It feels so great. I pulled the source of heat closer, for fear it should go away. I ran my arms up and down this warm object. So good~ Suddenly, it began to shuffle away from me. "Hey..... don't go away. I feel so comfortable~", I moaned, entangling my legs with something which also happen to be legs. Wait a second. Legs. Warmth. I rubbed my arms again over the strangely smooth yet firm surface. Abs. I slowly open my eyes, dreading what was going to be there. Samuel's sleeping face appears before me. It has to be a dream. He looks so handsome even when he is asleep.

I ran my hand across his smooth and slightly tanned forehead, over his angular eyes. So beautiful. I slowly trailed my fingers down his perfectly sculpted cheekbones, to his sharp jawline. This dream feels strangely realistic. I pinched his soft cheek as hard as I could to verify. "No.... I want to sleep more.....", he muttered, pulling me even closer with his arm, which was already on my waist. It's real. It's fucking real. "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!", I shrieked, kicking him off the bed. I immediately gave my body a thorough check. Clothes are intact. No hickeys. No pain between my legs . No blood on the sheets. I breathed out a sigh of relief. "The hell?!! Do you just kick sleeping people off your bed after feeling them up?!!", groaned Samuel, getting off the floor. "Why were you sleeping in my room?", I questioned, folding my arms. "You were the one who dragged me into your room. If I knew you would kick me down like you just did, I wouldn't have even spared you a second glance", he huffed, running a hand through his hair. He looks and sounds so damn sexy. Sexiness level: A+++. I shook my head vigorously to get rid of all those thoughts.

"Don't forget. Tonight you have to be........", he trailed off, looking at my chest for a few seconds and suddenly turning his head away. The tops of his ears are beet red. "What were you just looking at?", I asked, looking down at my chest. The strings of my nightgown came loose, revealing my meagre cleavage. I blushed and immediately covered my chest. Samuel mumbled an 'I'm leaving' and scurried out of my room. Great. Just great. I've embarrassed myself in front of my crush. I guess I look like a desperate woman in his eyes.

Sally
I ran over to Young Miss' room when I heard her shriek. As I came up, I saw Young Master walking out of her room hurriedly. His ears were completely red. Did Master bully her? I hurried off to Young Miss' room first. But she scurried off to the bathroom and told me she is fine. She's blushing. And Young Master just came out of her room. Did they do 'that'? I skipped off to the kitchen, humming a tune. "John, make the breakfast light and healthy. Young Miss maybe feeling some discomfort", I called out to John, the elderly head cook. "Ah. So Young Miss and Young Master finally.....?", inquired John. "I guess. Their actions speak otherwise", I said, deep in thought.

Samuel
     I need to blow off steam and calm down. I put my head under the tap and ran cold water over my head. I have to say, she has a well formed body. I saw that she had a cute little mole to the right side of her chest. Ugh. Why do I even remember that? I just realised that her skin is pale but healthy. I never gave a second thought to when Luna wore exposing dresses. Alice looked so innocent and confused back then. It almost made me want to take her right then and there. I shook my head to rid my head of these weird thoughts. Get it together, Sam! She's evil. I took a quick shower, worked out for about an hour and left for office. "Breakfast, Young Master?", Sally asked as I hurried down the stairs. "I'll have something at office. And if Alice finds it difficult to get ready, help her out", I instructed Sally and I left.

      I reached the office at 8:30 am. Perfect. Right on time. "Morning, Lee". "Good morning, CEO Ming. Here is today's schedule", Secretary Lee greeted me and handed me the tablet. Meeting with the Russian branch at 9, two back to back meetings at 10:30 a.m and 11:45 a.m, lunch with the board of directors at 1:30 p.m, shareholder agreement signing with Jitō and Co. at 3:30 p.m. Which means I have a half an hour break in the whole day. But I have enough time for getting ready for the ball. I should have had breakfast. I inwardly sighed. "Welp, two hands. And maximum effort."
