Maksim Eugene Patrenchco

Chapter 3

It had been 2 months since that interaction in his office. I tried my best to ignore his presence and not to mention dude was persistent. Much to Martin's amusement. I made it my business to not be in the same room as him unless necessary, and even then there had to be a boat load of people in the room. I couldn't put it up to chance that he wouldn't ask again.

Elijah found it amusing. I remember bringing it up on one of our lunches with Martin. He just shrugged his shoulders and laughed at how much tension was around every time me and his brother were in the same room. I swear both my friends were plotting against me.

Worst of all, the man had my number. I don't know how many good morning, good night texts I recieved from him. I won't lie and say that seeing his long ass messages didn't bring a smile to my face but I still wouldn't reply to any of his messages. I just left him on read.

If I walked into the room or vise versa our eyes found each other. He'd always smirk a knowing one at that, as if he knew his eyes did something to me.

And today was no different but what stood out was a text from him, we were in the same room

Maksim: Be ready at 7 tonight, I'll pick you up.

I looked up from my phone to see him looking at me. I knew he knew I just read his text. I looked away from him and kept listening to the other ladies talking about what I'ma just have to catch.

Today was Friday and it surprisingly went by uneventful, which I was thankful for. I thought about soaking up in my bath and relaxing because I didn't have work to do this weekend. Everything was done by the time it was for me to clock out. Martin and the girls said we should meet up tomorrow evening for clubbing and I didn't object. I had to relax all this pent up energy from Mr persistent.

As soon as I got home it was about 6:45, I decided to stop by the mall and spoil myself. VS was my first stop, plus they were having a sale and I just couldn't pass up spending my money there. And went to other stores and bought myself a few pairs of shoes and a few party dress options for tomorrow.

I started the bath and poured my bubbles in it. Ugh I couldn't wait. As soon as my feet dipped into the water I knew I would enjoy this and relax. My speakers were playing miss Kelly Rowland see me. I think I was in the bath for about 15/20 minutes before I sighed and got out. I started oiling myself up, I looked up to see it was 7:30pm
What would I eat, I was in the mood for some Jamaican. Goat curry and maybe jerk rice, ooh that would do. Before I could make my way to dress I heard a knock on my door. Maybe it was one of my friends, I wrapped my silk gown on me and wrapped a towel in my hair.

I regretted opening the door without looking at the peephole, there stood Eugene looking emaculate as always.

"What are you doing here" I asked as I pulled the strings on my gown tighter. He looked at me from head to toe and I swear I got heated. My nipples harder and his gaze stayed on my chest for a sec before he entered my apartment and closed my door. "Excuse me" I said with my hands in my hips. Who the hell did this bloke think he was.

"I thought I told you to be ready by 7" he said. Lord give me strength to not slap small sense into his head.

"Yeah I saw, too bad you didn't ask" I said as I followed him to my room. "What the hell you think you doing?" I  asked as he went to my cupboard.

"Finding an outfit for you" he said as if it was a duh answer.

"I know you lying, you don't come up here thinking this your place" I said snatching my bodycon dress from him. "This isn't your business" I said

"I'm done playing this game with you, I..." I didn't even let him finish his sentence

"I ain't playing no games my guy, you all in it alone" I said mater of fact.

"Tell me you don't feel what I feel" he said geting closer to me. I brought my hands up to stop him.

"Oh I feel it!" I said "I feel the need to smack your face, how da.." I didn't even get to finish because he had his lips on mine. I froze before my lips voluntarily kissed him back. Lord did this man know how to kiss. He pulled me closer and my nipples got harder rubbing up on his chest. He groaned and that brought me back to reality. I pulled away.

"Tell me you don't feel it, and I'll leave you alone, I promise" he said sincerely. How do I say no to that. Just say you don't feel it, say it. But I couldn't. I couldn't say that cause we both know I wanted him as much as he wanted me.

"Where were you taking us?" I asked with a sigh. I gave in.
You'd swear he won the jackpot because he was smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

"Paint and Sip, if we leave in 20 minutes we'll make the reservation" he said, mind you I was still in his arms with nothing but a satin gown on.

"You were going with a suit on?" I asked lifting my brow. He looked ready for a meeting, still handsome but too formal for a sip and wine.

"Yeah, is this a wrong choice of outfit?" He asked.

"Yeah, you look like you going to a meeting" I removed his tie and his hold on me got tighter. "Relax" I whispered while unbuttoning the first three button of his shirt.

"Kinda hard to relax when you start undressing me in only a gown that hides nothing on" he said.

"shut up" I said giving him a look. "There, but give me a few I'll be out."

He kissed me again leaving me breathless before he left my room. Ugh what an I getting myself into.
