CHAPTER 15: IT IS NOT ABOUT SEX

BRANDON

David went to my office and told me that Erine was sleeping during her break time. But Chef Bob could not wake her up. I rushed out of my office as I lead to the kitchen.

She looked so tired as I came to see her in the chair sitting near the hidden door.

"Here's her phone." Chef Bob handed me the phone. I put it in my pocket, stroking her cheek then I lifted her up into my arms. I carried her through the way to hidden door in the kitchen to my office.

My kitchen staffs were already had a hint the way I treated her. She was snoring a little while we were in the hallway to my office. I smiled.

Greg helped me open the door and the to my secret bedroom too. He let himself out as soon we were inside.

I placed her carefully on my bed she still not aware. But rather felt comfortable as she sleeps. I removed her shoes as I stared at her clothes. I wanted to take it off then change into a comfortable one but rather not.

I took a quick shower and changed my clothes before I join her in my bed. She sounds asleep like a very tiring day for her. I slowly grabbed her closer to me as I placed my arm around her waist.

She moved her face near my armpit then hugging me too as I watched her smelling it. She was smiling doing that. I found it cute no one's doing that to me. I kissed her forehead then I closed my eyes.

I savor this moment that she is with me. It was different when you know there is some warm body beside you. I miss that warm especially from a person you want to be with.

I do not know if it was love at first sight. Or something more that always make me drawn into her. She woke my heart from sleeping for so many years that made me feel like teenager again.

I caressed her face before I knew it, I was drifting off too.

.....

I do not know the time is it. I woke up with a hard push. I know who that was. I opened my eyes, found each other. We were just staring each other no words came.

I wanted to laugh but I control it because she was so cute with her reaction. I know what was in her mind.

The look in her eyes saying or even thinking. 'What am I here in your room again?

She never waiting too long she spoke. "What am I doing here?"

I cleared my throat before I give her my answer. "Chef Bob tried to wake you up when your alarm hit many times." Her eyes widen from what I just said. "But you sleep like a baby."

"I…I am so sorry, boss. I cause you trouble I have to go." She said then sat up to step out from the bed but I quickly stopped her

"You stay here and go home later you should rest I know you are tired." I whispered then pulled her back.

I do not want her to go I want her to sleep beside me I know she looks very tired and I cannot take the risk if she will go home in that state. Especially, she is driving

Besides, I miss her. I missed her smell. She never argues with me. She snuggled in my chest as I kissed her temple. Without even took too long I can feel she fall asleep. I smiled seeing her breathe calm down then I closed my eyes too.

---

When I opened my eyes, the other side of my bed was empty. I looked around and saw I was alone. I stood up immediately and notice that her shoes were gone. It only means she left without me knowing me.

I looked up my wall clock and saw the time. Yeah! It sure does she flew away again. It was ten o' clock in the morning already.

I did not know that I slept too much after all the lack of sleep lately with my line of business. I stretched my body then took a shower.

I smiled knowing that I feel my body with excitement. Another day to look forward again. It was good, thinking that I made some progress last night.

It is not about sex because we did not have sex last night rather, I spend some hours with Erine. I cannot wait to see her again tonight. The smell of her left in my bed.

I do not want to stay indoors. I need fresh air to freshen my mind. There is in me that I need my Me time somewhere.

When I went out Greg was not in sight. I told him to get some rest. He has been with me longer time. He is still human too, need to have his own time. I still have other men to take care of me and guard my safety.

Well, I do not think I have enemies but it is always to take precautions. I let my other trusted bodyguard drive me to one of my properties.

We reached there almost an hour. It is my favorite place. Overlooking view because it was on the highest place. If I am not in bar o house in the city. I am always stay here longer.

It was not so big just 2500 sq. ft. A two-story house with 3 bedrooms upstairs with bathroom each. The master's room is the highlighted in the house because the wall of it was made of glass. A big balcony facing the city.

This place makes me relax and enjoy life if I have a lot of stress. One of the reasons I came here is to think carefully. Before deciding what I really do.

What I really think?

What I really feel?

What I really see?
