Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

KIMBERLY

Waking up to a strange yet exquisite bedroom was rather shocking like when did I fall asleep

I notice my suit jacket has been taken off leaving me in the crock inner vest

The suit was hung on the dress stand, my jewelries were on the bedside cabinet and my shoes were neatly arranged beside the bed

But when did I do all this and Where am I?

I remember being in the car with Jace and Daniel....

JACE

My Angel have been sleeping for 5 hours non-stop

Obviously I have been checking up on her every 30 mins

Whipped!!!

I walk into the inner chamber to behold Kim looking so gorgeous in that scattered hair, pouted red lips and hands sleepily rubbing her eyes

Angel! I call on a hush tone not wanting to scare the sleepy mouse who is so lost to realize she is not alone

She slowly raises her head like a cute little cat, then it seems like she finally sees me for she swiftly stands upright

Where are we? She asks looking around once more

In my office; I simply put

It seems like I fell asleep? She smiles bashfully

Yeah! You did; I smile watching her look so flustered

Are you done with the questions Angel? I raise a brow teasingly

You should have woken me up Jace; I mean I neglected my work and I have tons of incomplete projects to work on.... I am so so.....

Say the word and don't blame me for the kiss I won't hold back! I exclaim with a small frown

You were unable to sleep for certain reasons last night so I totally understand

Besides I will not like my employee falling sick, what more the woman in my paradise, huh? I smile closing the distance between us

She tries stepping back but is on a tight spot as the bed is directly behind her

Wh.... What is the time? She stammers making all the demons in me wanting to devour her lips completely

She's so oblivious of the power she holds on me

7:30pm! I grin watching how her expression turn worrisome

Oh no! Dad .....

I called to inform him you were asleep and promised to send you home safely when you awaken; I abruptly cut off my worrisome queen

Ohh!! Battling her lashes

So I took good care of my girl all through her slumber. what do I get in return, huh?

Hmm... I.. she seems deep in thoughts then she swiftly stand on her feets before placing a kiss on my cheek furiously blushing

Well thank you! And did I say it was fun watching you sleep

Was it? She picks her jewelries to place them on

I easily caught the her hand taking the necklace in mine to fasten it in place

Thanks! She whispers

But I wasn't done

Sit down! I instruct keeping no facial expression

She sits slowly staring at me to guage my reaction

In one swift motion, I knelt on one knee taking her beautiful feet to place them in her shoes

Though it took me time to tie the ropes...

You didn't have to Jace! She points out all red

I will do it everyday if I'm going to get this reaction from you babe

Stop it! She shy away looking super cute

Well do you have your weekend planned out babe?

No! Apart from coming to your place with Dad on Sunday, I am gonna be home

Why do you ask? She raises a brow up looking sexy

Lady! If you keep looking at me in that manner, I won't mind making you my dinner; I grin as her face morphs into a small frown

Anyways, I want to take you on a date on Saturday evening, if you are not chanced

A date! She whispers almost inaudibly

Yes, a date! I push a hair strand off her face

Ok then, Saturday it is! She smiles

It's my pleasure, Heaven! I pull her hand bringing her closer

It's getting late, I hmm think we should go home.... She tries escaping my grasp

My home is with you babe! I wink breathing in her scent

Only heaven knows how hard I am resisting the urge to kiss her

KIMBERLY

Friday night passed like a blur as sleep overtook my senses the moment I returned home

My phone's notification tone catches my attention as I have been laying on my bed staring at the mirror, admiring he gorgeous me

Good morning, Damsel! Can't wait to see you!!!

I broke into a grin savouring the warmth of love I am getting accustomed to when the noise from downstairs cuts through the moment

I rush out of bed to witness Dad's fury directed at Keila while Ciara looks not so good

Keila apologize to your Dad! Ciara scolds her rather too calm

But Mum, I did nothing wrong! I was only trying to prove that I could do whatever Kim does; but anyways, Keila shrugs before grumbling a "sorry dad".

Sorry for your pathetic lifestyle; Dad fires back super annoyed

whatsoever Kaila did must be bad for Dad is never the violent type; Not even when she almost ruined his chance for the acquisition.....

Good morning, Dad! I speak trying to ease the tension

Morning dear! Hope you had a great night sleep? He answers sitting down

Fine Dad! Hope all is well? I play the concern card

Who would rile me up this early if not this mistake of a daughter I begot! Dad huffs totally pissed out

You don't call our daughter a mistake, Steve! Ciara speaks in fury

And you dear not raise your voice at me because of a mistake of a child; Dad commands making all mute

Well Dad! With years of experience, I have come to realize that yelling doesn't repair nor damages making it a total waste of time

what exactly did Keila do? I ask trying to get to the root of the matter

Your sister lost the business contract papers your Dad gave to her to bring home from work; Ciara butts in

No! You should tell her that your daughter took my contract papers worth 25 billion dollar to a club, got drunk and wasted then lost the papers in a flowing drainage

She then returned home totally wasted, forged fake papers and dropped them in my office space here at home earlier today

On confronting her, she told me that she lost them so she made this rubbish herself

Can you believe what kind of a mistake I have for a daughter who cannot differentiate between a confidential company contract and a simply put typed one;Dad speaks non-stop showing how disappointed he was at Keila's foolishness

Another mistake yet again Kaila; I groan knowing I may have to fix her mess once again at the expense of my time
