KIMBERLY
Walking into the boardroom with Jace made all look at me while standing to acknowledge the presence of their boss
Sit! He speaks with that that honey like voice of his
Honey? Guess it's just me who feels it, right?
Had too much fun brother for your workers are battling with their thoughts on why their most punctual boss comes in late to a meeting for the first time! Danny whispers to mine and Jace's hearing making it had to keep a straight face
He seems to notice the members of the board staring at me as he easily takes the attention off me
Mr. Harrison, can I listen to your pitch on the project from New Texas?
All attention turns to a bald black man who immediately stands up straight
Yes sir!
STACY
Jace walking through the door with Kim raised alot of attention from all but I am personally trying to convince myself that he was out and did not stay in her office forgetting about work, right?
Why did he order for flowers and chocolates?
He has a lover! My consciousness answers my unasked question
No! He doesn't! I convince my self fighting a inner battle
I did not hear a word said through out the meeting so I have no jotting for Mr. Ferrati
Alot of question runs through my head causing me a mild headache
I excuse myself immediately I notice people exiting the boardroom
Hopefully he will not ask for the jotting; I sigh
KIMBERLY
I keep my mind occupied with work until the alarm goes off
Woah! It's lunch break; I sigh stretching
I turn off my system not before saving the work then plug in my iPad
I pick up my phone making my way through the door heading to the elevator
I hope I see Yvonne and Sam as I won't enjoy my meal sitting alone
I notice Stacy is not on seat
Seems she already went downstairs for lunch
Knowing Jace doesn't eat in the lunch hall I make my way to the elevator when Danny smiles at me walking out of the elevator with his hands fully occupied
Thankfully you haven't gone down for lunch else Jace would have my head; he sighs rolling his eyes in relief
Why is that? I ask confused
Only Jace can explain that Kim! Shall we? He signals me to open the door leading to Jace's hallway
I am about to ring the doorbell when Danny push the door open with his leg muttering "knocking not needed Kim"
Bro! Here is your lunch partner and lunch itself; he drops the box occupying his hands then bow in a funny manner
I could not help but laugh while Jace only glare at him leaning on his chair
Hmm well then Bon appetit! Danny smiles skipping out the door
Isn't he joining us for lunch? I ask not knowing what to say with the way he keeps looking at me
Nope! Please take your seat! He stands up walking over
I pick up the box arranging the table when I feel hands on my waist
I jump turning around to see Jace standing super close. I blush red trying to breathe when he places a kiss on my head before taking his seat
The hell was that? I blush
We eat lunch in silence but he never stops staring
I know my face is all heated up for I kept avoiding his eyes all through the meal
After lunch, I dispose the lunch takeaways before taking my seat sipping my drink
I feel goosebumps knowing he is still staring with no shame
Staring is offensive, Mr. Ferrati! I sip my drink not sparing him a glance
I skipped all classes of manners back at school, Miss Woodswork! He smiles
But if you insist, I don't mind being your prisoner, Kim! He adds replacing the smile with a smirk
Cheesy much, Jace. I keep my glass down trying to hide a blush creeping up my face
Don't hide that beautiful face from me lady; he leans on the chair
I raise my head swiftly muttering "I am not hiding"
Come! He whispers making gesture with his hand
I walk over to him gently till I am close enough
Closer Kim! I don't bite; He whispers looking at me in the eye
I walk closer till I am standing at the foot of his legs. He suddenly pulls my hand making me sit on him.
I squeal quickly placing my hands on my mouth silencing the sound looking at him wide-eyed
Jace! I mutter trying to stand up.
No! You won't but I don't mind you wiggle that ass on me though I can't promise to remain calm; he whispers in my ear while I grow hot feeling that tingly thing down there
Gosh not now.....
I want to take you to dinner tomorrow. If you'd allow me! He smiles brightly
Hmm yeah! I mean o o ok;I stammer knowing I look like a tomato
See you later then! It's past lunch break; I ramble trying to stand again but he holds me down resting his hands on my waist
I freeze staying still noticing he left them there
I turn to look at him only to come in contact with his smirking face
Mischievous Jace isn't seen by all
Are you going to run away again, Angel? He asks teasingly
No, I'm not! I blush smiling
I don't want to be apart from you Kim! I want to always place my hand on you reassuring my heart that you are not a dream which would fade away
I love you Kim! He leans in placing a kiss on my neck in a sensual manner ; I jump yet again feeling super hot
Jeez, I think the AC is broken! Why is it so hot in here?
Hmm Jace I.. I.. think I love you too, I hear myself speak at the back of my mind making me smile in realization
