Finally Grounded (Sequel To The One Who Grounds Me)

Chapter Forty-One

Tristan

"Okay what the hell was that about?" Tiana demanded. She didn't even knock on my office door, she just barged in. A murderous look was on her face.

Sighing, I raked my fingers through the messy curls. After what transpired last night, I tried my best to ignore being in the same room as her. And by that I mean, not going to bed last night. Closing the document on my laptop screen. I closed the lid.

"It's nothing."

"Don't you dare say it's nothing!" She shouted at me. "..... what the hell did Taylor mean, when he said 'You didn't heed my warning'?"

"I don't know."

"So that's how, it is now. You don't come to bed, and you lie when you see fit."

If I told you the truth. Then you would end up doing something drastic. I massaged my forehead. "... Tiana can you please let this go.... as I said, it's nothing for you to worry about."

"Yah think?" She folded her arms. "... sorry but I don't believe you."

The gate buzzer went off. Glancing at the computer screen, I saw my mother's Nissan pulled up in front of the gate along with my father's Honda.

Great just what, I fucking needed. First I had a rough night and now it's this! A fucking family reunion. I have a great mind, to ignore the buzzer. Instead I did the complete opposite.

I turned to a pissed off Tiana. "Let's put this conversation on hold. We will discuss this after I've dealt with my unwanted guest."

Her gaze softened. "Is it your family?"

"Yes so it seems." I moved from around the desk. ".... I am going to grab a quick shower can you just entertain them for the time being?"

Tiana's hands dropped to her side. "... I will only do this, if you promise to come clean about everything."

Now that's going to be hard. Sorry but for the time being, I will have to keep a lid on everything. "Mhm sure."

Tiana tipped on her toe. Her lips pressed against mine. Grasping, her hips on both sides. I engulfed her in my arms. Her sweet smell surrounded me.

I pushed my face in the crook of her neck and Tiana groaned. My body was coming to life.

"Baby...." She moaned.

Opening my mouth, I sucked the exposed flesh into my mouth.

Tiana grounded herself against me. "Jesus Tristan...."

I sucked harder. Tiana gripped my arm. Sometimes, I wish I could just gobble her down or better yet, I wanted to wrap her up in a bubble and never let her go.

Tiana's breathing was laboured. Pressing a kiss, against the tortured flesh. I pulled away. Her cheeks were blooming in embarrassment. I wanted to pounce on her, but I bit down hard, on the inside of my cheeks.

Now is not the time for that. "Alright, I am going to take that shower."

"Okay, I-I will see you when y-you come downstairs." She stuttered. Pivoting on her heels, she flung the door open. Without a backward glance she fled the room.

I peeked outside, in confusion. Why is she running away? Sighing, I ambled out of my office. Never mind that, I can ask her that question later on.

For now, I need to take care of those guests and then I can deal with that other thing....
