We stood still, a clutter of sweat from all the sex. Catching our breaths, I felt proud on how I managed to stay up on my 5-inch heels while I took his pounding like a champion as I got fucked mercilessly.

"I need to talk to you." He stated as he was back on a serious manner.

"Yeah?" I respond, voice meek while I blankly look at the ceiling.

"It's important." He replied and by means of important, it was starting to make me feel anxious and nervous at the moment.

"Can we just bask in the moment and stay silent?" I suggested earning him a smirk, whilst we lay on the table.

The sex was undeniably good. No matter how hard I try to despise him, I couldn't help but to spread my legs in a fucking moment when he tells me so. The aftermath was none other than my pulsating pussy, legs were fucking weak and for sure my make-up was smudged.

"Please." He pleads, as he stares at me with an unreadable expression.

"Fine." I agree and stood, as we both managed to put on our clothes taking a seat on the plush couch.

"Well, um ..." He smirks as he rubs his hands on his legs, as anxious as I was his eyes that were in the midst of thinking.

"It's about what happened in the office." He spoke and his eyes were back on me.

I catch my breath as a clearer flashback of that moment came on my thoughts and too see him right in front of me talking about it, I was a bit hesitant.

"Let me explain." He comforted, as he sense a change of my emotion.

Like he always knew, he was good at reading me like a book. I felt like this was one of the reasons why I was drawn to him, he knew a part of me.

"Okay." I finally agreed while I look back, staring into his eyes.

He sighs, a breath of relief. "Thank you." He spoke, thankful that I had the time to listen and pay him attention.

"It was not my intention to, I just .. she persisted going inside of the office and the next thing I knew, she kissed me and I tried to kiss her back."

Pain flashed through my eyes, as I cast my eyes away from him and I lowered my head for a bit.

"I did that too see ..." He trails off, as he was hesitating on what to say next.

"To see if I was still after her, if I'd give away the moment I did." He stated.

"And?" Thankful that I can muster up a response and to further question him, I felt disappointment and pain. Little did I know, the situation was worse than I thought it would be.

"I didn't." He replied, as he lowered his head.

"I ... don't understand." I pursed my lips, lost at the situation as I looked away from him.

"Hey, hey ... it's not what you think alright. I didn't do it for the sake that I wanted to do it with her. I know I fucked up, but please you have to believe me." He spoke in a gentle voice as he cupped my cheeks softly in his hands, trying to get near me as much as he can for it was obvious that I had distanced myself.

"I just .... why do you have to prove a point? You could have told me that you want us to stop, I could have respected your decision." I reasoned, my heart ached from the conversation.

"I did that shit to prove a point ... if I already had my feelings involved for you." He stated softly.

"What?" I asked, confused and bringing shock to my features.

"The past few days, I've been spending my time with you. I liked your company, way more than I should and the next thing I knew, I've been having doubts about myself ... about you. And she came, so I tried to fucking kiss her back ... to know if there's a possibility that I would still give away."

"But I didn't and it made me realize that ..." He adds.

"I really like you, Cleo." And he fucking reveals, with a sincere expression on his face as he held my hand while I was astound to even speak a word or react.

"You have been distant and cold and I understand. I know I made a mistake, heck I will fucking make it up to you to prove that I'm worthy if you could just ... please give me a chance." He continues as he pleads, while he saw the look on my face.

"You like me?" I asked, my mind had just started to process while I just could not believe it.

"Yes and I would like to take this seriously, if you could just please give me a chance?" He spoke as he was staring at me intently.

He definitely liked me, more than just for sex and more than just a companion.

"You might find me crazy, but I have something to tell you as well." I replied as my heart accelerated, nervous as to what I was about to say.

"What is it?" He responds, eyes hopeful.

"That I feel the same way ... that I have my feelings for you and I tried to hide it, I wouldn't want trouble between us." I replied in a low tone, a breathe of fresh air that I had spoken it out.

"That you like me? ... is that what I heard?" A surprise in his voice, he laughed softly as he couldn't contain a smile coming through.

"You heard me, idiot." I answered while I rolled my eyes at him.

He chuckles, as he bites his lower lip taking a deep breath.

"Cleo, would you give me the chance to be with you? I might be new to the relationship but I fucking swear to make it up to you, to show you care and be your companion." He smiles while he still held my hand, his eyes flashed with hope and eagerness.

"Yes." I spoke as I look into his eyes and my heart fluttered, speechless.

"Fuck yes." He uttered, hugging me tightly and I squealed as he surprisingly picks me up and swings me around.

"Thank you." He muttered, laughing delightedly while we both look into each other's eyes, as he gently leans his forehead against mine. He kisses the top of my head and I sigh of happiness and contentment.

I genuinely smile, no words to say as I completely feel happiness and relief flowing within me.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked, never leaving his eyes of off me.

"Really? after all .." I trail off as I saw a mischievous smile on his face and I grunt, rolling my eyes and smirking from his manner.

"Just fucking kiss me already." I demanded, while I lovingly run my hands through his hair with a small smile on my face.

He smiles back and lowers his head as he comes closer, stroking my cheek and he softly kisses me on the lips. The kiss was slow, gentle and it was promising as I kissed him back while he takes over control, deepening the kiss. He wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me closer as our bodies collided and his hand trailed down on my back.

Noticing this was going to lead to another, I stopped his hand from going down further and I break away from the kiss.

"What?" He asked, playing surprised of my actions.

"Don't play innocent and not now." I reasoned and he laughs, shaking his head in a disappointed manner.

"Come, before they've noticed we've been gone for a while." As he held out his hand and I willingly reached out for it, leading me outside as we both sneak back into the party without causing a ruckus.

Long gone the dull night, this was by far the best I've had. I learned to appreciate the music playing through as we danced successfully without getting our hands all over in a minute, drank more champagne and enjoyed each other's company. We somehow managed to fix our shit, without making it seemed that we've just sneakily fucked into one of the guest rooms while mom and Chris were happily socializing through the party. My inner being might be telling me to re-evaluate and reassure that I'd be okay in the new relationship. But my gut feeling was already telling me that I had done the right thing and so did my heart, for I was fucking ecstatic and never wanted the night to end. I didn't even seemed to mind at all that I was starting to sound like a love sick puppy.

I might have a lot of worries to come, considering our parents are married. What matter's is, I have him with me and just like always, we had each other's back and heck we would sure help each other out. But for now,

The point is; I was happy, genuinely contented kind of happy.
