Hunter's P.O.V.
" Someone seems too busy"
That sultry voice grabbed my attention in less than a second.
She was leaning against the slightly opened door in a simple black
polo and blue jeans.
I've never been happier to see black and blue in my life.
" Michelle " It sounded more like a satisfactory statement than a
surprise.
After everything I've been going through, seeing Michelle on a Monday
morning is by far the best consolation I could ever get.
" You sound like you were expecting me?" She chuckled and took extremely
slow and frustrating strides towards me.
" I wasn't expecting you, you're just what I need right now. Come here"
Believe it or not, I'm desperate.
She chuckled again and responded by sitting on my lap in a straddling
position.
" Having a rough day?" She asked as she clasped her fingers around my
jaw and uses her thumb to caress my growing stubble.
This had a soothing effect that I can never explain.
" I've had a rough week " I groaned and rested my head on her succulent
chest just to feel her up close.
She said nothing as she embraced me in a soft hug and held me firmly
in my position, running her hands through my hair.
I sighed before looking into her eyes once more.
" How did you know exactly what I needed?"
She smiles gently and places a light kiss on my lips.
" I haven't seen you in a while too, and I need that "
I felt my heart grip at her words and I pulled her in for a deeper
kiss.
Savouring her mouth in every way as I planted my hands on her hip to
pull her closer.
She pushed her tongue into my mouth eliciting an excited groan from
me. I moved one hand to her hair to press her tight against me, if at
all there was any space to close up.
She moaned in approval and began grinding on my member that was coming
to life because of our compromising positions.
Our make out session was slowly growing and getting hotter as the
seconds flew by before she broke the kiss.
Her swollen plump lips and her flushed cheeks were images I've learned
to fall in love with.
She peered at me from under her lashes and took a few seconds to
regain her breath.
" I need you " She whined and places her forehead on mine and I felt
that.
It's been a while since we just enjoyed each other's company because of
little majors here and there but now I miss that.
" I need you too." I pecked her lips " I'll tell you what, this Friday
night just you and I "
She grinned at my suggestion and comes down for another lasting kiss.
Which was cut short by someone walking in.
" Mr McConnell the-ohh" Iris stopped in her tracks after realising what
she just walked into.
I'm very sure it took an army of calmness for Michelle to bite back what
she intends to say but the way she looked at me spoke enough volumes.
' I hate your secretary '
I chuckled at her scrunched brow before using my thumb to release them
from its frown.
" I'm at work, but I promise you later" I pulled her down and whispered
in her ear.
She just looked at me with uncertainty in her eyes then glared at Iris
who was standing uncomfortably by the exit.
Michelle leaned forward for a really deep kiss and I believe she's
just marking territory.
After a few seconds, she was off my lap and making her way out.
She made sure to brush Iris on the way.
" Uhm.. sorry about that" Iris mumbled and adjusted her glasses on the
bridge of her nose.
Whoa! Hold up! Glasses?
The last time I ever saw Iris in glasses was the year she disappeared.
And even then it was an on and off use.
I always believed she wore contacts more often, just a guess really. I
broke her glasses quite a number of times in the past so she found the
contacts more useful.
" You're wearing glasses." It wasn't a question, just a simple
statement.
" Yes Mr McConnell. It is on my face" her fake attempt to reply me came
with a bored tone.
" Why are you wearing them?"
I honestly know she wouldn't answer but there is no harm in trying.
" Yeah. Là Cheriê magazine sent in a request to make you their cover for
next month, should I accept?"
She's not gonna answer. I expected it though.
" Sure, what day did they set?"
I checked my watch and saw it was time for another meeting with
Glitter and Glam designer on a new perfume scent.
After closing up all open books before me, I tried to smoothen out my
suit as I stood from my chair.
" You agreed?" She asked and clear shock spread on her face.
" Yes. You think I shouldn't?" I walked to her side and peered into the
notepad she had in her hand.
Considering our position isn't one she's comfortable with, so she
moved two steps to the side.
" Uhm- are they paying?"
So that's why she's surprised? She believes I can't do something for
another person for free?
True to a level.
" Yes they are"
She only nodded before changing the subject.
" It's time for the meeting with Glitter and Glam designer." She turned
to me with a smile on her face.
This fucking smile has been on her face since Saturday and it's
unnerving.
I mean, what could possibly make Iris smile at me?
" Let's go" we walked to the elevator and as usual we stood eight
hundred kilometers away from each other.
As the elevator closed shut, Iris phone beeped to a message.
She immediately took it out and viewed.
And if it is even capable of happening, her smile grew.
I watched as her facial features carved into something of admiration
or sort.
Her smile was blinding as her cheeks and tips of her ear began to
taint with the color pink.
That only happens when she's uncomfortable or shy.
Then it hit me.
Whatever made Iris happy on Saturday is the cause of the current joy.
And here is a bigger discovery. I don't think it's a what.
I believe it's a who.
And I have full confidence that I know who that specific who is.
Dad told me to let them be, but these kids are being plain careless
about it.
How in the world would Mason Reid take a girl out for dinner? Within
two days the whole world will be drilling with information.
And that whole world includes The Reid's father.
I never took Michelle out on public dates, we will normally just meet
up at my house or somewhere extremely inconspicuous.
That's why I'm planning to propose on her birthday with the yacht, so
all the questions that may come up from suspicion will be answered.
But then again I'm not planning on doing the proposal that day anymore
so I'm looking for a hidden yet flamboyant way to celebrate her
birthday.
All these and many more, I am enduring and some people want to ruin it
for me?
I don't think so.
