Chapter fifteenIt did not look like your regular chocolate cake. It gladden Amanda's heart to know that it was a foreign delicacy. She never went out much, only stayed at home cooking foods that she was tired of eating. It was the same old thing everyday. Now that she saw a new delicacy, she decided to savour every moment of its taste on her lips.She took her fork and cut herself a slice of it. The cake tasted so creamy and crunchy, Amanda didn't know when she moaned."Hmmm, oh my God."The sound resonated to Jake's loins and he felt a shiver run down his spine."Imagine the sound you'll make when I lick that off you."Say something.Say.Something.Her mind screamed the command but her lips refused to open.Amanda came to a halt. She lifted her face to look at Jake who licked the cream of the cake off his lips in a slow manner that Amanda followed lustfully. Jake saw the look in her eyes and he wanted nothing more than to go to her and kiss her till they were both breathless, but
Chapter fourteenItalian wines were always good for apologies. It's what Jake used whenever he had wrong a person. The fact that he used something cliché with her didn't sit well with him. She was different, special, calm and Jake wanted nothing more than to get to know her.She twirled that drink in her hand like an old mafia leader. Maybe she was one. That would explain her fiesty nature. But she couldn't have been, after all, she had a daughter and the principal wasn't that scared of her.Jake followed her movements as she looked at her phone and stood up to leave."Ah, where are you going?" He didn't want her gone just yet. He hadn't gotten the opportunity to know her fully. If he could have his way, she would be sitting there talking all day."I have to get back to work." Amanda said as she started putting things into her bag."But lunch break isn't over yet." This man knew almost everything. That made Amanda feel uncomfortable. She had just forgiven him for insulting her and n
Chapter ThirteenThe audacity of this man! How dare he order my meal for me? Does he think that I can't make decisions for myself. He must see women as weak and indecisive.Jake looked at Amanda with admiration. It has been a long time since he last saw this fire in somebody's eyes. All the women that hang around him are submissive and gentle, probably because they read somewhere that a domineering men needs their women to be submissive. They didn't know that Jake was not your typical man. He wanted the fire, the drama, the long arguments, he wanted to be burnt. And Amanda offered him a smoke with fire. And he was totally engulfed."It's not about the oysters. It's about the fact that you would order for me? Do you think that I can't decide for myself what to eat?""Well, I didn't know it was going to upset you so. If I did, I would have ordered your dessert as well." He was enjoying every moment of taunting her and she gave him the kind of response that he wanted. More fire."You ar
Chapter TwelvePeople find peace in a lot of things. Amanda found hers in looking out at the town and breathing in the smell of leather seats. She didn't hate the town anymore. If anything, she began to like it. Apparently, her anger only came when she was the one behind the driver's seat. She has never been a passenger in a luxurious car before, only in bus. Now she could understand why people always scrambled to be rich. She knew this was a taste of what it meant to be rich and she wanted to taste more. Tom stopped them at a restaurant that Amanda could only admire from a distance.The restaurant was made of wood, she supposed but stepping out of the car she believed it to be made of glass. The shimmering radiance of the building could lure anybody to want to know what was inside."I'll be waiting for you ma." Tom said as he closed the door behind her and tipped his hat.She thought that the kind man may usher her inside to meet her doom but she didn't want to inconvenience him t
Chapter ElevenJake twirled his phone in his hand as he stared into space. Never in his busy life as he seen a woman that is so deliberate and compelling. And he has seen a lot of girls.Jake had the kind of life that kept girls coming to his doorstep just to take off their top and watch him admire them. All of them had been lovely and sweet but none of them had the spice he craved. He was starting to believe that no woman had it.It pleased him to know that he would be proven wrong. He was sure that the girl must have heard of him or known who he was by now. Even if she didn't, she was going to find out.A knock on the door distracted him from his thoughts and wiped the smile off his face. He didn't care to answer, he just turned his chair to face the door and whoever was about to come in.It was his secretary. A plump woman. She had the kind of figure that would make any man's head to turn twice. Jake didn't like to associate with ugly people, even his maid was a sight to behold.Th
With a smile on her face, Amanda drove to work. The rush of excitement she felt everytime she stood up for herself was something that she savoured. And it has been a while since she felt that rush of electricity run through her body. She didn't even know his first name and he was already staring up feelings in her that she enjoyed. Amanda made a mental note to stay away from him.She swerved into the parking lot of her office, turned off the engine and walked into the building. Laura did not allow her a moment of rest. Immediately she stepped in, she walked dramatically towards Amanda. "Have you seen the papers?" Amanda found it weird that she had a creepy smile on her face. Laura was never the one to care about papers, the only time Amanda had caught her reading one of them was when they had printed a fake news about the death of Mr. Malcom, a well known drug dealer who didn't care much for his targets.Amanda moved pass her but when she sensed that she wouldn't let her off so easi
Chapter nineLooking out from the windshield, Cassidy could recognise the little boy. She jumped out of the car and got a startling response from her mother."Get back into the car. Can't you see it's pouring rain out here?"But Cassidy didn't listen instead she raced towards her mother."I know that boy. He is the same boy that I had that fight with.""Are you sure?" Amanda didn't want to believe that she would have to stay in a room with such a vile man and discuss her daughter's punishment."I'm pretty much sure I would know who I beat up."Looking around, she grabbed an umbrella from the car and with her bag in hand, she headed to the principal office.Before she opened the door, she sent a silent prayer to Heaven asking God to not allow her daughter to be correct. God must have obviously laughed at her request instead of taking it seriously because when she opened the door, the vile man was sitting with the little boy on his leg."Mrs. Wyatt, thank you for joining us." Mrs. Reyno
Chapter EightEveryday has been a reminder to Amanda that life is not picture perfect. She didn't expect it to be perfect, she just wanted it to better. She would settle for anything but worse and still, life wasn't giving that to her.She got out her phone and placed a call. The call was picked on the third ring."Hello, Mrs. Wendy? Yeah, this is Amanda Wyatt. I won't be coming into work early today. My daughter's school called and I have to attend a meeting. Mrs. Wendy are you there?"Amanda said after she didn't hear her utter a word."Well, Amanda you should have waited for a response before you started blabbing on about your problems. But why is your voice like that?"Amanda didn't want to believe that her boss could actually notice her breaking from her voice."What is it like, ma'am?'"It's hoarse. Have you been crying?"Could it be possible that her boss actually cared about her?"It's just some family issues ma'am.""Well, take care of it before you come to work. I do not nee
