"Caesar ,stop!"I furiously cackled as I kept on unlocking the seatbelt only for him to lock it again.
"I miss you"He held the seatbelt tightly.
"I have to leave first for that to happen"I stifled a laugh. I had known him for a few days and it's so intriguing how such a sophisticated businessman acted silly around me.
Don't be silly Kayla..
He glanced at his silver watch and growled.
"Fine..."He reluctantly released his hands from the seatbelt.
"Good..."I mumbled , and suddenly realized I didn't want to leave either. He realized my indecision and let out a low husky laugh..
Come on hormones! , he just laughed.
"Kayla..."
"I know I know , give me a minute"I cut him off,busily studying my lap.
"Women.."He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and let out a low chuckle before pulling me to his chest. I giggled.
"Stay safe Mrs Banks.. "He boldly muttered.
"Mrs Banks?.."my eyes shot up.
"What kind of husband am I if I don't claim you"He winked , that's when I remembered what I said at the restaurant.
"Come on ,I... forget it.."I sighed , opening the car door ,one foot up, totally prepared to get down to hide my flustered state.
"Kayla , I'll be flying to London at 7pm "His deep voice echoed through my veins.
What did this man say?
I halted ,my legs sliding back into the car ..
"Huh?..."I breathed.
"There's this business deal I need to sign and I've got to be there in person..will be gone for a few weeks Kayla. "He said , still holding on to the steering wheel.
My mind was racing so fast ,I didn't know what to think ,I mean ,this was work and he had to go ,we weren't committed or anything ,heck!..I should act normal about this ,he would surely come back and we would pick up from where we left off ...I felt complete the moment he invaded my life...He can't leave now...
Kay... I shut out my subconscious mind.
"Well then ,.. have a safe trip"I didn't sound the least excited ,I was trying my best to hold back all the real words I wanted to say to him. He narrows his eyes at me , obviously unsatisfied with my choice of words, he clears his throat and nods , not uttering a word. I press my eyes shut for a second to gather strength.
"I... guess it's goodbye , I'm going home now"I mumble.
"Kayla I'm not leaving yo..." I don't listen before sliding out of the car ,I don't turn back to look at him for the last time but head straight to my house gate,I bang the door , securely closing it and enter the house , already in a gloomy state .
I run to my room and drop my bag beside my bed before throwing myself on the bed.
