Camila felt as though the world had stopped spinning and was now standing still when his lips finally met hers again. The flutter in her heart grew with intensity, relishing how soft and warm his lips felt against hers. Her eyes remained tightly shut afraid that when she opened them all this would be a dream and it would be over, so she kept them tightly shut to avoid any distraction, while she kept her hands clenched on her lap, hesitant to reach out to him afraid she would be met with nothing and it would ruin the perfect daze. This was not her first kiss and yet the moment felt sacred and she felt the desperate need to savor and treasure the moment in every bit of it. She had long imagined how it would feel to kiss Keith, it had never really been her intention to want this type of relationship with him but very slowly he had crept under her skin, so far that she no longer knew how to push him away anymore. Soon she began noticing him more than usual, the gaze held became longer an
Keith walked into his new company smiling like someone who had just found treasure at the end of a rainbow. He looked stunning in his dark blue three piece suit, his hair gelled back and looking shiny with a few curls peeking out of the slicked back hair. The smile he had on his face was so wide it was almost stretching to reach his ears and big enough for anyone to notice. As he walked in, the people around threw glances in his direction and bowed respectfully when he passed their fronts. The long walk was disrupted when Keith glanced up the stairs he was just about to climb and saw Mr. Kevin at the top of the stairs approaching him. Keith paused his movement to watch Mr. Kevin as he came, he studied the old man's expression and could not resist the urge to exhale in relief when he studied Mr. Kevin's face to see no sign of distress or worry. Not that he was expecting there to be trouble but most times when Mr. Kevin needed his attention it was usually to report something not going
Mr. Marlow immediately paled and blanched, his jaw clenched tighter together and his eyes darkened in anger then the moment he tried to lunge forward at Keith, but he was quickly held back by John who immediately got between the two men and placing a hand on Mr. Malcom's chest to keep him back. Keith raised a brow at the old man, his eyes narrowed in a challenge. “Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Malcom, it seems like you are interested in creating a scene.”Mr. Marlow opened his mouth to say something but John was quicker and chipped in instead, “No, Mr. Thompson, I can assure you that Mr. Marlow had no intention to make such actions, right Mr. Malcolm?” John said the latter part of the sentence through gritted teeth, narrowing his gaze as if to pass a message to him. But Mr. Marlow stood gallant, with anger written all over his face and hands clenched in a tight fist his knuckles turning white. “Get out of my way, John.”John's eyes widened seeing his tactic was not working so he
Sheila bit down on her lower lip hard enough to draw blood, her face was scrunched up into a worried frown and her eyes wide and looking around the room frantically. She glanced at the blank screen of her phone screen lying on her bed, she had been holding it minutes ago while she was on a call with Frank who had put her in this tense mood when he told her over the phone that he had big news for her and from the tone of his voice, Sheila suspected the big news wasn't a happy news. She glanced nervously at the door expecting it to be pushed open any moment from now but the more seconds the door stayed closed the more her anxiety grew. These days for her and her family have not been too good, although they have seen worse days but the days were mostly always sullen and oddly too quiet. Her father was on the brink of losing everything, and it got so bad that they had to relieve some of the workers from their jobs earlier today because her family's financial issues were that bad. But She
Keith had learned to be self reliant and fend for himself from a young age. Yes, his family was financially buoyant but they had been lacking in more ways than it could be counted. He couldn't remember much about the times he spent with his parents but he would never forget the irreplaceable hole in his heart they caused with their absence. His parents had been busy people, always going from one business meeting to another, and rarely spent time at home, so they would leave Keith all alone in the big house. Of course, he had the company of the workers and his nanny but none could ever make up for their absence. He remembered those days when his nanny took him to the playground and he would always go home crying after he watched other children with their parents and that made his wounds sting painfully. He could remember when his nanny would try to pacify him and make excuses for his parents’ absence but he was sure of one thing, that nothing his nanny could ever tell him could ever l
Keith's head snapped upward at the sound of the door opening, the cup of coffee he was holding paused against his lips to watch who was working in. He set his cup down and a smile graced his lips as he watched Camila ask in. Camila was not a small person, not in height or build, she was taller than most ladies and especially inches taller than Sheila. Camila's build was more fleshy and round, her hips were craved to fit in any wear perfectly and although she was lacking in the bust area, the hip was enjoying to cover for it. Each time Keith got to see Camila, he got enthralled by her radiating beauty. Camila's eyes blazed with a look of desire as their gaze met, her lips slowly stretching into a smile. “Keith.”Keith felt his groin area tighten when her melodic voice reached his ears and soothed his insides. He kept his eyes trained on her lips, and his eyes darted immediately back to meet her eyes when she made a small sound from the back of her throat. Camila's eyes grew wide from
In not less than a week, Keith had already been able to put together a solid team to help with his idea to have a business venture into real estate and it had only been possible with the help of his girlfriend, Camila. At first, Keith had expected Camila to be hostile about his idea to go into the same business she was involved with, but it was the opposite. Actually, Camila was ecstatic with the idea and has offered him the ultimate support to be of help in any way she could. They began with his idea earlier this week, and Camilla had eagerly provided him with enough personnel from both inside and outside her business who were skilled in the arts of the work then they began business plotting, outlining the investment strategy, target market, and even an exit strategy. Camila also assisted with networking and building relationships with other real estate agents, contractors, lenders, and other professionals that Camila thought could be of help in the industry and could provide valuabl
“It is such a great pleasure, Miss. Joffery, I look forward to working with you.” Mr. Kevin complimented, his cheeks slightly flustered and a proud smile on his face. “I have always wished to work with you again after our cooperation the other time and the time has finally come and I could not be anything less than excited," Keith groaned in displeasure, the smile he fixed on his face slipping off, Jesus this man talked way too much for his good. He peeped at Camila from the corner of his eyes and he quickly noticed how she drummed her fingers against the wooden table and he assumed it was because she was getting impatient. His lips quivered into a smirk as he sneakingly eased closer in her direction, ensuring that his body brushed against hers as he did so. God, he needed to be alone with Camila now and this cock blocking old man was getting on his nerves.“Thank you, Mr. Kevin,” he said, interrupting the chatty old man not able to contain his impatience anymore. “I am certain, Miss
