KIMBERLY
You do? Jace raises my head looking me in the eye
God! I did not say that out, did I? I mutter a blushing mess
Babe.... He starts but get cut off by the sound of the door
Stacy!!!!!!
I jump off him trying to arrange my skirt which rode up when he pulled me down earlier
I recall reprimanding you of this habit of yours, Stacy! He growls out obviously not liking how I jumped off him
She stands there looking from me to him not saying a single word
Get out! Jace's voice booms while she runs off shutting the door with a thud behind her
I am sorry! I made you forget work; I am sure it was important that is why she barged in
I try reasoning not knowing how to act around him knowing I just told him how I feel for him
I will take my leave now! I quickly pick my phone when he hugs me from behind.... I notice how tall he is as my head rests on his shoulder
Fuck is he tall....
J-J-Jace! I stammer
Baby, don't you ever apologize to me
I did not forget work, I know I have visitors waiting in the boardroom downstairs but they should understand that I am busy and will attend to them in time
Busy? I ask unsure for he certainly isn't
Busy attending to my world; he kisses my hair
You are the most important business client I have, okay?
Yeah! I blush
You just wait here..... He walks to his table, pick a file then return back to me all smiles
Shall we? He reveal his dimples
To think I never noticed them....
Huh? I raise a brow
I refuse to allow my woman walk to her office alone after she just made my day; He winks
I blush harder if possible knowing what he meant; although I am glad that he left the topic for now
Okay! I smile walking out the door he opened
I notice the look Stacy has on her face on Jace walking me to my space but ignored it
I understand her but I did not choose for Jace to love me, did I?
JACE
I can't seem to take my eyes off Kim while eating lunch
She eats so carefree and still look super graceful
I watch as she clears the table effortlessly after lunch before taking her seat
I gesture her to walk over not able to control sitting so close yet so far from her
I smile at the look on her face when I pull her down to sit on me
Noticing her skirt rode up makes me breathing to control the insane thoughts running in my head
Heavens knows how much I don't want to frighten her
I place my hands on her curvy waist in attempt to get some relief but it only increase my desires
I start to talk about my feelings for her in attempt to keep those illicit thought at bay but man am I wrong
I try fighting my demons but could not resist her exposed neck staring right at me looking super alluring
I place a kiss on her neck taking a deep breath as her scent engulfs my brain and relishing the sight of her sucking in her breath taking her lips in between her teeth
Her next words struck me in the heart, though faint but so loud to my heart....
She loves me too! She loves me! I dance around in my head
I am about to tell her she have no reason to be shy about it when Stacy barges in making Kim jump out of my arms while arranging her skirt
Even after getting mad she just keeps staring that i couldn't help but send her out arrogantly
She tries apologizing for taking my time....
Hell will I give her all the time in the world
Knowing she is not ready to talk about what she just said, I decide to walk her back to her office easing the tensed atmosphere
I notice the look Stacy give to her while walking her to her space but ignores it giving credit to her being in shock
I am in love! Is definitely a shocker!!!
STACY
I try convincing myself that I am only imagining things after rushing out of Jace's office but reality soon dawn on me as he walks her to her office all smiles for the first time since I have known him
On returning, he gives me a stern look replacing the gorgeous smile he once had on
How long have they been waiting? He asks once we step into the elevator
An hour sir! I reply putting on a professional look
Well it serves him right for always coming late on our past meetings; he speaks with a smirk
The elevator dings open while he walks out not sparing a glance at me as I quickly trail behind him to match his footsteps
JACE
Walking into the boardroom filled with Kim's thoughts has me smiling which did not go unnoticed to the keen eyes of Mr Peterson
Keeping me waiting for centuries and walking in with a smile seems too much of a miracle today Mr Pedro! He comments with a smirk
Well that serves you right for all the time you never come on time for a meeting Mr Peterson
Drop all formalities Jace; he laughs humorously
Well! well! George;I smirk taking my seat
Not wasting your time Jace, I came to know if you are willing to sponsor the upcoming club annual ball as you've always done
I can bet you forgot as usual; he hits the nail as the straightforward jerk he is
Why not! Send all paperwork to my secretary
My lawyer will see to all formalities though you are a percentage right about me forgetting
A hundred percent right! huh? He raises a brow with a side smile
Guilty as charged George! I run a hand through my hair
I guess this signifies the end of this meeting right?
Not so fast Mr Trillionaire! I want to tell you the media will run wild if you could grace them with a date this year, huh! He smiles smugly
I will try; I simply put knowing I will definitely go with Kim if she says yes
Just the thought of her made me feel sense of euphoria
You always use this three syllabic words but everyone knows in Jace Pedro Ferrati dictionary it simply means "no will do" George frowns glaringly
Have a great day Mr Peterson! I smirk walking out of the boardroom not before hearing him mutter "so rude"
In no time, I returned to my office to see Stacy placing a stark of documents on my desk
What are all these documents?
Don't tell me Daniel haven't been doing his work properly? I ask taking my seat
These are for the Indonesia deal while these were sent by Miss Kim which you are to go through and sign sir; She speaks while making gestures in pointing them out
Alright! I will be busy then I guess
I shouldn't be disturbed! I dismiss her to focus on the workload......
