Chapter 56 - Please don"t come close!
I think I should tell her the truth. It"s better this way! So what if she will hate me? I deserve it completely. As it is, she has never liked me and what future does she hold with a nymphomaniac like me!
"Rose, I wan"t to confess something to you," he said, sighing loudly.
Rose"s eyes lit up hearing his words.
Oh my G.o.d! This is too quick! I know he likes me but he is confessing too early. What do I say? Well, we can start dating atleast. Hopefully, it will work out perfectly for us and maybe his condition will also improve.
She looked at Rhehan shyly and said" Ok, what is it?"
"I...I...I....I don"t know how to say this to you. You will not like it," he said pressing the temples of his head tightly with his hand. He could already feel a severe migrain coming through.
"It"s ok Rhehan. You never know! Maybe I will like it," she said.
She was looking lovingly in his eyes. The kind of innocent love he had never seen in anybody"s eyes. His thoughts were going bizzare and he could no longer think straight.
"Tell me, what is it?" she asked again, taking a step forward, closer to his face.
The distance between them had reduced considerably and they could feel warmth radiating from each other"s body.
Rhehan pressed the sides of his head again and closed his eyes tightly. He was trying to block away the beautiful image of the woman standing in front of her. What is this girl doing to me? Why am I so scared of loosing her? Her closeness is making me loose control. She knows I have satyriasis, then also she is making a move! Please don"t come so close to me.
He looked at her again.The girl was still looking at him. This is not the first time a girl was interested in Rhehan but this time, it was very different for him. The girl was not making a move due to his looks or wealth. She was not asking for a favour in return. She was also not looking for a one night stand. She had love and innocence in her eyes.
"Are you ok" ? She said, slightly touching the temple of his head where he was pressing constantly.
Rhehan was taken aback, as her hands brushed against his palm. She was now looking worriedly at him.
"Please don"t do this to me," he pleaded, folding his hands in despair.
"Huh?" she replied in confusion.
"What are you doing to me?" he shouted looking at her helplessly. He was now starring in her eyes intensely, suddenly grabbing both her arms tightly.
Rose was shuddered at the intensity of his eyes, filled with pa.s.sion and anger! She felt like she was entrapped by a pa.s.sionate devil. She did not want to be released from this trap! Ever!
Chapter 57 - Helpless Damsel!
"N...N...N...Nothing I guess," she replied nervously.
"You have no idea!" he smirked at her, feeling like a helpless fool.
He quickly retraced the grip from her arms and took a step back, unwillingly.
"I should better leave," he said fuming in anger again.
"What? No! Wait!" she shouted at him.
But before she could say anything further, Rhehan was already sprinting out of the premises.
Rose was stunned at his reaction. What got into him? He has been pursuing me from so many days! Now when I want to make things better between us, he ran away like a scared mouse! Why is he so difficult to comprehend? Shouldn"t I be the one having mood swings and nervousness. Why is it always the other way around with us?
Rose contemplated for a while. Is he scared that I might beat him to s.h.i.+t again? Hmmm...Maybe. He actually came close to me, when I was helpless and alone. If I act like a helpless damsel, will he come back to save me? It"s worth a try!
Meanwhile....
Rhehan drove back to his beach house, frustrated at himself. He was cursing his rashness and bad temper which made things so difficult for him. He did not have enough guts to confess the truth before Rose now. Maybe he should just stop seing her. Atleast, she will not hate him then.
By the time he entered his home, it had started pouring heavily. The weather had dropped considerably and the lush green gardens of the beach house were now s.h.i.+ning clean.
Rhehan headed straight to the bar and sat down at a couch facing the enormous gla.s.s window. The view from the window was somthing people would pay millions to enjoy. The beautiful gardens of the house were full of exiquisite trees and flowers. A well maintained pool and an artificially created pond gave an aesthetic feel to his home. Just outside the short boundary wall was the beautiful and tidy private beach of Excel Corporations.
Chapter 58 - CEO"s strength
Rhehan was sitting on the couch resting his head at its back. His gloomy eyes were starring constantly at the window in front of him. He was holding his usual wine gla.s.s in his hand sipping every now and then. The beautiful scenery outside could do nothing to cheer up his mood, as if he was oblivious to his surroundings.
Rhehan ordered his second wine and took out his phone to message Cheryl....
"Don"t tell anything about our contract to Rose, your money will be deposited in your account within a few minutes.You don"t have to do anything else".
"Ok" came an instant reply from Cheryl.
Cheryl who was in the gym, suddenly took a halt from the the treadmill to check the message. She was ecstatic to read Rhehan"s message. She did not want to sound so desperate so she replied with a simple "Ok".
Does this mean that she will not back-b.i.t.c.h about Rhehan now? Rhehan was making sure that Cheryl does not spill the beans, causing a tiff between him amd Rose.
"Ok! I will not tell her anything, but what if somebody else tells her?" she said to herself grinning.
The Penthouse.
Rose was sitting lazily on her bed watching the news. Not a single TV channel had covered her malfunction but the news of sudden fall in shares of Loraine International was all over the news. The supposed reason was that they had offended somebody from Excel Corporations, thus loosing the trust of all its investors.
Rose was pretty surprised at the series of events happening after Rhehan"s declaration.
Wow! people do take his every word seriously. The media and every single person present at the event, did not dare to blurt out the incident to anybody. He is some guy!
Rose had to now plan to seek Rhehan"s attention. What should I do? Get myself kidnapped? Maybe fake a heart attack! No! he will get to know I am faking it. Rose then remembered one incident when she had locked the car keys, cell phone and wallet inside the car and was stranded on a lonely road. Though, she was not even scared and she broke the gla.s.s of the car in two minutes.
But what if any other girl was in her place? It surely sounds genuine, she thought to herself.
Chapter 59 - Rose in bikini!
Rose quickly jumped out of her bed and took out a mountain of dresses from her wardrobe. She then finally chose a well fitted, long white ruffled dress, with pink flowers on it making her look more girly. The dress had quite a small cut in the front, giving a slight peek of her cleavage. The slit of the long dress went upto her knees and she teamed it up with matching white high heels. She tied her hair in a pony-tail revealing the extra deep back of the dress. She glanced at herself in the mirror after quickly putting on the makeup.
"Perfect. I look hot yet not overly dressed," she said admiring herself in the mirror.
She quickly rushed to the parking and typed "Excel Co. beach house" on the phone"s navigation side by side. She sat inside the car and glanced at the route leading to his house.
"Hmmm....this looks like the perfect road. It looks lonely and also has a phone booth nearby", she said selecting the road as her desired destination on navigation.
The moment she drove the car out of the building, huge splashes of water started hitting the car.
"Oh! I forgot its raining heavily! Well that will give him another reason to rush to me," she said excitedly.
Soon she was following the route as per the navigation.....
Meanwhile Rhehan was already four drinks down and was sipping his fifth gla.s.s. He was slightly under the influence of the alcohol quite enough to heighten his emotions. He was now flipping through instagram and was having a look at Rose"s profile. Her profile was filled with beautiful pictures of her with her friends, family and members of "Fabiosa" team. He was scrolling along her images when he glanced at a particular image t.i.tled "Bora Bora it is❤??."
The picture showed her lying lazily on the beach, wearing a black bikini and blue sungla.s.ses. Every inch of her body was clearly visible except for the small area covered by the bikini. Rhehan took a screen shot of the image and zoomed it many times to have a better look at her vitals. He was already having a hard-on looking at the girl"s white body. The picture was of her frontal body, making Rhehan look again and again at the perfect "V" shaped bottom. Her legs were slightly opened and he zoomed again and again to peek in between her thighs. The next picture was Rose facing the beach and the picture was taken from the back. He glanced at her perfectly toned hips and back.
Rhehan could not control himself any longer and was about to rush to the bathroom for a cold shower when his phone rang.
Chapter 60 - Knight in s.h.i.+ning Armour!
It was a call from an unknown number but anyways Rhehan picked up to answer, in desperation. He so much wanted to look at Rose"s image in his phone and relieve himself from the hormones building up in his body.
"h.e.l.lo," he said hurridly.
"Rhehan?" Came a girl"s sweet voice.
Rhehan immediately recognized Rose"s voice but anyways asked," yes, may I know whose calling?"
"It"s me Rose," she replied trying to sound troubled. Rose could feel her heart thumping so loudly that it might fall off from her chest any time.
"Ohh! Right! What happened ?You sound worried," he asked anxiously.
"Yes. Actually its raining quite heavily and I am stranded outside my car. I locked my phone and the car keys inside," she said nervously.
Rose was so scared that she could feel her legs trembling while standing inside the booth.
"I checked my phone and saw your home was just two minutes away, so I thought of calling you, from the phone booth near the beach," she replied.
"Really ! but right now you said you locked your phone inside and how did you get my number?" he asked puzzled.
Rose bit her tongue and slapped herself hard on the forehead. "Oh! that was before I was stranded and I got your number from your team.They told it to me orally so I had to memorize it. I wanted to thank you personally so I took it from them."
Rhehan did not think much about her explanation.
"Hang on, I am on my way! Till then keep talking", he said hurriedly rus.h.i.+ng to the door grabbing his jacket on the way.
He quickly drove out his car from the villa while still talking to her knowing her exact whereabouts.
"How is your wound?" he asked.
"What wound?? Ohh that wound! Its bad and very painful and currently all drenched," she said, smiling excitedly.
She quickly removed the medical tape from the wound and stuck out her arm outside the booth, drenching it completely in water. She was already completely wet from walking from her car to the booth. Offcourse, she had to park her car a little far away from the booth. It would have been too much of a coincidence that she stranded herself just close to the booth, to be able to call Rhehan.
"Don"t worry. I"ll take care of it," he said speeding up.
Rose was so excited after seing her plan work that she started jumping in excitement.
"What happened? Why arn"t you replying?" He asked anxiously.
"Nothing its just so cold out here. What the h.e.l.l was I thinking?" She said trying to hide her happiness.
"Don"t worry I am there for you", he said trying his best to calm her down.
"hmmm," she replied, covering her lips to control her chuckle.
"Are you crying," he asked surprised at her miffed voice.
"No. Just come soon," she said with a sparkle in her eyes, starring at the headlights of a car, speeding towards the booth.
