"Thanks a lot "I get out of the car only to be met by the most beautiful glass building I've ever seen.
This is the first you've seen .A man in uniform approached me.
"Miss Wills?"
"Yes"I smiled ,eyes till gawking at the building.
"I'm Tony,the security head. Miss Banks informed me of your arrival ,Mr Banks isn't here yet but I've been told to get you to the 2nd floor ."His mustache twitching as he spoke ,his deep voice startling me.
"No problem sir,shall we".
He nodded and moved inside the building ,I followed him eagerly waiting to be blown away.
"This is actually one of Mr Banks most treasured penthouses. No one has been here except his family."He said the moment we entered the elevator, he pressed the second floor button.
"I'm a good friend of his "I answered.Yeah right like yo....
shut up subconscious mind.
There was comfortable silence after that ,the elevator doors slid open and I followed him out and into the hall.he turned to his right and my eyes turned sharply to admire the gold and leather interior. All the furniture were leather coated ,the cushions ,gold,all tables and work of art ,even the frames of the painting on the wall were made of glass.the walls were a shade of grey. It was just luxurious.
"I'll leave you to wait for Sir Caesar"He smiled and entered the elevator.
"Breathe Kayla,in ..and..heck!"I stuttered as I toured the floor.He is extremely loaded Kayla.
I spotted a swimming pool outside, feeling all excited about the luxury I had set my eyes upon on just one floor,I began to wander if I could ever fit in.This was too much for me.
'Too much' is an understatement Kayla ,you kno.....
I know,I know but I'm so struck by him, how can I possibly let him go.
I don't know how this all happened,but it still felt like a fantasy. Knowing you yearned for something like this and having it after so long feels....."Kayla..."his voice is low and soft,and by the way my insides churn,I know it's him.I don't turn to face him,my eyes still locked on the pool as it shimmers in the dark.
"Hey"my voice is groggy and before I can contemplate on keeping a distance between us I feel his hands wrap around my waist,my back embracing him,his cologne intoxicating my mind. My mind goes blank,and I throw my head back, resting my head on his shoulders.
"Why are you here?"He whispers in my ear.
"I ...."I hold his arms that are firmly wrapped around me
"Why did you keep avoiding me?"He asks, brushing my braids to the side.
"Because I feel something for you too ,and it scares me"I mumble, shutting my eyes and finally pushing myself to speak.
"You're unreal Ceasar , and I'm crazy for wanting you the moment I saw you picking those blue papers. I'm not what you could possibly want."I stutter , tracing his fingers. He turns me to face him.
"I should be the crazy one since I know nothing about you , But I know one thing , I like you Kayla Wills , I like you a lot"He mumbles against my lips, looking down at me.
"Caesar-"his name leaves my mouth like a plea. He pulls me close, savouring my mouth,I don't realize it when I moan,but the moment I hear myself I slightly let go.
He gazes at me ,amused.
"What?, am I that bad of a kisser?"He says with a smirk and I know he is much aware of the answer. I playfully scowl at him .
"How am I supposed to think straight when you kiss me like that?..."I blurt out , looking everywhere but him .
"Unbelievable ,I tell her I like her and she talks about a kiss..."He huskily speaks as he turns around to walk away.
And I take notice of his clothing,he takes off his coat ,places it on a glass sitting stool,his black tie in his hands .Stop drooling you fool..
He faces me once more ,the top three buttons of his white shirt is undone. my eyes roam over every inch of his body.
"Miss K, could you not look at me like that , I'm starting to wonder if I'm just a piece of meat to you."He doesn't hide the mockery in his tone. I stare into his eyes instead.
"Yeah.I like that"He moves towards me. I giggle , looking away.
"This is silly Caesar , we're moving too fast ,I don't wanna get hurt. This must be infatuation... it's just..."I trail off when he kisses me again. I moan again.Damn , no man can possibly compete with what he just made me feel.
"Look at me again Kayla, say this is infatuation one more time.."He groans .I gulp , knowing this could never feel so destined to be than it already does.
" I can't think straight ,remember?"I grip to his collar ,he looks down at me.
"But I know one thing right now..."my eyes linger on his lips and I bite mine. He muffles a laugh .
"I love Miss Caroline for bringing me here"I say after giving him a kiss.
"Wait , Caroline got you here ?"He slightly pulled away from me and held on to my shoulders,I nodded.
"Hold on ,(he laughs heartily).. she found you didn't she?"
"Well , she came to the university to speak to me ,introduced herself , gave me her card and left"I said , leaving the details.
"That's all?"He questioned.
"Uhuh"I giggled , hugging him.he buried his face in my neck.
"Mmm...You smell amazing K."
"I like you a lot too"My hands wrap around him tightly.
His head shoots up.
"What did you say?"His eyes roam my face and I can't seem to hide my smile.
"I said I feel the same Caesar ,I don't care if it's too soon for us to feel this way "I whisper.
"Be my girlfriend already Kayla , please "His voice is somewhat desperate and I can't help but laugh.
"You are making me nervous Kayla ,is that a yes or no"He mutters.
"Uhuh... t..t.. totally"I happily stammer.
"Yeah? ,yeah , I'll go with totally"He chuckles, lifting me up to embrace me.
"You have no idea how cuffed you are Miss K"He adds.
"Touché Mr Banks ,touché"
Our laughs echoe through the night.
