《For The Sake Of》CHAPTER 17: Fireworks
Advertisement
Bored.
I was so bored; it was Sunday and I had nothing to do. My dear husband was as usual was in his study. Doesn't he gets tired?
Thankfully, he was now talking to me or else I would have to trouble him even more.
Tossing and turning on the bed for another minute, I decided to drag Isaac out and go somewhere for lunch or something.
I marched towards his study and knocking on the door, I went in to see him on the chair with the laptop infront of him.
And the most attractive thing was the glasses that he was wearing, that made him look so sexy.
He glanced at me and then continued working.
"Are you working?", I asked him; but I shouldn't have asked him that because he gave a sassy reply, "No. I am dancing."
I rolled my eyes.
I walked closer and leaned on his desk, "You are always working, let's go somewhere; I am getting bored."
"Don't you have to work?"
"Oh, please. I don't work on Sundays. I am not stupid."
He raised a brow, "Are you calling me stupid?"
"Yes, I am. What will you do?"
"You really wanna know?"
His question alerted me, "Yes...no..."
He suddenly got up and removed his glasses and the moment he took a step towards me, I screamed and ran for the door.
He ran after me and as I was about to open the door of my bedroom, I was lifted up and thrown over his shoulder.
"Uh oh, someone is in trouble", he said playfully before carrying me back to his study.
Closing the door of his study, he put me down and backed me up against the door.
"You were saying?", He asked stepping closer until there was hardly any gap between us.
He gently grabbed my bare bicep and started rubbing circles with his thumb.
Mental note: Don't wear sleeveless clothes around him.
"Speak", he said inching closer to my face and I closed my eyes.
"No-nothin-g", I stuttered.
"Nothing?", He spoke huskily and I could now feel his breath fanning my lips as his lips hovered mine.
He ducked his head down and I could feel his lips brushing against my neck.
"Your feistiness is messing with my mind, Thera", he spoke against my neck and then I felt his lips on the base of my neck. He then moved his lips up peppering kisses along my neck making my legs numb. He kissed me under my ear and gently bit the skin; and an involuntary moan escaped my mouth making me cringe.
I could feel him smirk and then he pulled away leaving me breathless.
"Did I leave you all hot and bothered, Mrs Graysons?", he smirked.
"Asshole", I muttered angrily before walking out the study and slamming the door shut and I heard him laugh.
_________________________________________
"This is not funny, guys! Stop it!", I shouted to Josh and Nyle who were laughing loudly after I told them the events of the past few days.
We were currently in a cafe, sipping our coffees. Since, my husband refused to come with me anywhere, I had to call them.

"And she is saying that she isn't in love", Nyle laughed making me frown more.
"I was just admiring what he did, nothing else. If I admire someone then it doesn't mean that I love him."
"But you care for him too and you were so effected when he was not talking to you", Josh said.
"Because he is my husband..."
"A husband about whom you didn't give a damn a month ago", Josh said.
"The thing is, I have now spent some time with him and I know him, that's it. That's the reason I care for him. And Josh you know that I get attached to people very easily."
Josh rolled his eyes, "Whatever..."
"But", Nyle said, "sooner or later, you will fall in love with him."
Deep down, I know that I will be falling in love with him.
And that thought scared me.
I am such a weird kind of person; if you leave me with a man and tell me that you have to fall in love with him in two weeks. You know what, I will fall for him in a week only.
I know I am crazy.
My phone which was lying on the table, rang and the screen lit up with Isaac's name. And a selfie that I took with him recently, appeared.
On seeing that, Josh and Nyle exchanged a look and I glared at them.
I picked up the call, "Hello?"
"Thera?"
"Yes?"
"Where are you?"
"Umm...in cafe with Nyle and Josh; I told you I was going."
"You sure you are not alone with Nyle."
"What the hell, Isaac?! What does that suppose to mean?!"
"Firstly, you refused to come with me and now when I am out with them, you are doubting me!", I added.
"Relax, I was just kidding, sweetheart."
Sweetheart.
"Very funny", I rolled my eyes.
"But be back home soon. Bye."
"Yeah, yeah. Bye", I said hanging up the call.
"Looks like someone was jealous", Nyle commented.
"He is an asshole. He is jealous of you, thinks that we are dating."
Both Nyle and Josh laughed, Nyle leaned closer and said, "You are like my sister, Thera."
"I know."
"But why isn't he jealous of Joshia also?", Nyle asked.
"Because he knows that he is like my brother and he even walked me down the aisle."
"Oh."
"Don't tell me you are watching this movie again", Isaac groaned the moment he entered the living room and saw me watching Frozen.
"What's wrong in it? I love Frozen."
"But shouldn't you be asleep till now, you have office tomorrow."
"Stop acting like my father. And even you have office tomorrow."
"I know that."
"Then I also know that."
I turned my head away from the movie to see his jaws clenched.
Why is he so short-tempered?
Sighing, I got up and walked to him. Getting on my toes, I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Stop getting angry on such small things, Mr Grayson. It's not good for your health."

With that I rubbed my nose against his.
What am I even doing?
He looked surprised at my actions, even I was surprised.
And then I kissed his cheeks, muttering, "Goodnight."
And I left, leaving him standing there baffled.
_________________________________________
I knocked on his bedroom door and it was swung open by Isaac.
"Don't you want to have dinner?", I asked him.
"I am not hungry", he replied making me frown.
"Ok, did you have lunch?"
"I did."
"And--"
"I am busy, Thera", he cut me off.
"O-kay..."
I went back to my room.
Whenever I show that I care for him, he just starts acting cold.
Nyle said he is afraid...but, afraid of what?! There is nothing scary when someone cares for you instead it feels good one someone cares for you. But he was Isaac Grayson.
And maybe it was still early to have dinner, it was only eight in the evening but Cynthia cooked early today so, I thought to have dinner early but seems like he doesn't likes to eat early.
There are still a lot of things to know about him.
At around 9, I heard a loud sound as if something fell down or more like a large amount of something fell down.
I quickly came out of my room and checked Isaac's room and realised that he is not there. I then went towards his study and on entering it, I saw all the files that were on his desk, they were scattered on the floor along with the pens and even his laptop while he stood there, supporting himself by the desk, trying to control his anger.
What made him throw everything angrily?!
Knowing that it was not the right time to question him or else he will throw me also, I just went closer and bending down, started picking up the things.
"Leave it", he said in a surprisingly calm voice.
But I was too stubborn to listen to him.
Ignoring him, I picked up few of the files and kept it back on his desk and again bent down to pick up more.
"Go away, Thera", he spoke again in a low, exasperated tone.
Did I listen to him? Of course, not.
Just as I kept another pile of files on his desk, he lost his cool.
"I said get the hell outta here!", he roared and that was enough to make me flinch back in fear.
I have seen him angry but this was not close to any of it.
His eyes were bloodshot.
I looked at him with wide eyes cause I really got scared and before I knew it, tears formed in my eyes, threatening to flow.
A lone tear rolled down my cheeks and before I could cry more in front of him, I dashed out of his study. But not before I saw a look of guilt flash across his face.
I cried for what seemed like hours while lying on my bed.
He has yelled at me before but this time, it was too much...he sounded so scary.
I was just picking up his things, I didn't even say anything.
Maybe I should have not touched anything and left when he told me to but then...it was not such a big deal!
When my tears dried, I got up and went to the balcony for some fresh air.
I kept standing there for sometime and I so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even hear my room's door opening.
It was when Isaac came and quietly stood beside me, I realised.
I thought of immediately going away but what he said literally shocked me.
"Sorry."
I couldn't believe my ears, so, turning towards him I questioned, "What?"
"I am not saying that again now", he stated making me angry.
Can't he just keep his ego aside for sometime?
"Then keep this attitude up and I won't accept your apology", with that I turned around to leave only to be pulled back by Isaac.
In a swift movement, I was backed up against the railing with both of his arms caging me.
He was so close, too close for my liking.
He stared at me dangerously making me gulp and I bit my lip.
His eyes flickered down to my lips and he kept staring at them for a few seconds and when he lifted his eyes, they were so dark.
He gently grabbed my neck, in a way that his thumb was resting right under my ear.
He looked at my lips again and I involuntarily licked them. His eyes flickered between my lips and eyes and before I knew it, he smashed his lips upon mine.
Fireworks.
That's what I felt the moment I could feel his lips upon mine, kissing me roughly yet passionately. I could feel the butterflies dancing in my stomach as I finally had my first kiss.
He griped my waist tightly as I tangled my fingers in his hair.
I could taste the cigarette but it didn't matter, nothing mattered because the way his lips were moving against mine, I felt as if I was in heaven; his lips were so soft and luscious.
I was immobile at first, shocked, surprised of what happened but then he gave my waist a squeeze and I gasped and he took the opportunity to enter his tongue in my mouth.
Our tongue fought together for dominance but he didn't let me win and devoured every corner of my mouth with his tongue.
But as abruptly, the kiss started, the same way it ended when all of a sudden he pulled back making me groan at the loss of contact.
For the first time in my life I saw Isaac with such a look on his face; confused, shock, disbelief written all over his face as he stood there with messy hair and swollen lips staring at me, breathing heavily. Even I was breathless.
He couldn't believe what just happened or how he lost his control. Isaac Grayson who always knew what his next move will be looked so confused, unaware of what to do next.
After staring at each other in complete shock; Isaac turned around and left.
And that kiss felt like a dream.
