Chapter 19

"Okey maybe you don't have a date but I have and I really have to go" I tell him but he doesn't let me go, "he doesn't deserve you" he says looking intensly at me and I stand there dumbfounded, "and who deserves me? You?" I snort but also curious to know his answer and he closes his eyes briefly leaning his forehead to mine, "maybe" he breathes out and I look at him not expecting him to answer like that,what did I even want him to say? Yes? Or no? Argh am just confused.

I force his arms away from me and go to the counter to try figure out whats wrong with me, "what do you want Quinn? If you don't remember am still pissed for how you went behind my back and started digging up in my life" I point out and he comes behind me circling his arms around me. "If I remember correctly you were looking at my family photo with Chloe the day I found you" he states and I feel like kicking myself for what I did.

"That is different, I wasn't digging up in your life it was just a photo that am sure everyone has seen because its public but my life is private and you had someone go through everything" I point out and I see him roll his eyes through the mirror. "And I said am sorry, why can't you just forgive me?" He asks and I turn around to face him, "when did you even apologise? And even if you did I don't think I would have accepted because you have broken my trust for you.You broke one of the rule that you made,how will I know that you haven't broken the others" I snap angrlily trying not show how much he hurt me,how dare he says he said sorry but all he did that day was have a yelling competition with me.

He grabs my chin gently and lifts my head to look at him, "I know how you're feeling its true that I broke your trust but even me its so hard to trust people easily and when I went through the file the investigator gave me I swear I never did it with wrong intentions" he explains caressing my jaw gently looking directly at me,from when does he show me this kind gesture? I look away not ready to forgive him and he sighs forcing me to look at me and he leans his lips brushing on mine,it has been long since I felt his soft lips on mine.

I close my eyes my breathe itching from the position we are in and I feel my lips starting to dry up.Why won't he just kiss him? Its not as if it will be our first kiss or anything.I feel his lips kiss the corner of my lips sending shiver down my spine as he starts brushing his lips on my jaw not going further to even sucking it or nibbling it.I feel as if my skin is on fire with every touch he leaves as he finally moves to my neck giving it a chaste kiss in each spot.I shiver in pleasure wanting him to finally kiss me and he sucks my sweet spot making me to let out a small moarn,I never knew how much I missed his touch,his kisses that made me so wet.

"When you entered today through those doors you made me speechless,you made hard by only your sight, I wanted to touch you.." he whispers in my ears giving me feather kisses, "...I wanted to caress you,to kiss you,to feel you wither under me as I pleasure you and rip off this tight dress your wearing" he finishes his lips just brushing my collarbone and I breathe out heavily while opening my eyes finding him looking at me with those dark eyes of his. "Then do that.Tell me what you wanted, make me want you" I breathe out feeling already aroused from all the teasing he has done.

He brings his lips on mine not moving at all just brushing on mine and instatly feel an electric current flow through my body,my lips part slightly while our air mix together, none of us moving just staring at each other as if our eyes are the one talking,when his about to finally kiss me we hear aloud knock from the door making me jump a little. "Kater dear open the door,are you okey?" I hear my mother call out for me and my eyes go wide remembering there were people just outside.

I look at Quinn and he seems confused from the person who is knocking on the door, "Quinn its my mum what will we do?" I ask him panicking and he looks at me shocked, "thats your mother? Are you sure?" He asks trying to calculate something and I huff ready to give him a comeback but my mum calls out again, "Kater why are you taking so long to open this damn door?" She calls out seeming impatient, all I want right now is for the ground to just open up and swallow me up.

"This is all your fault,why did you come here?" I whisper yell at him, "how is it my fault,I just wanted to clear up things" he says seeming his about to argue with me and I sigh in frustrated when am about to give him a comeback we hear another loud knock,gosh if she continues like that the door will fall down. "Kater oh my god your scaring me,is everything okey?" She calls out again seeming anxious and I look at Quinn still panicking, "mum am coming the door is just stuck wait a sec" I tell her and Quinn gives me questioning look, "what? Do you have better idea because as I clearly remember its you who has kept us in this difficult situation" I whisper at him angrly and before he can talk I put my hand on his mouth silencing him.

"Don't talk my mum is very good at hearing things and if she hears your voice I will be dead" I hiss at him and he rolls his eyes removing my hand after kissing it, "stop panicking it will be alright just go and open the door and don't let her in" he explains and I facepalm myself why could I not think of that. "Okey just don't let her see you, am not ready for her drama" I tell him and he nods pulling me ones again to him, "you're not leaving without giving me the kiss that I come for if, thats what your trying to do" he whispers and before I can protest he captures my lips kissing me passionately and with desire that I melt into his arms.

I wrap my hands around his neck pulling him closer and press myself on him,his hand goes to my exposed thigh moving up to my covered ass as he caresses it making me moarn in his mouth, "Kater is that you? Or my ears are deceiving?" My mum shouts from the other side and am sure she is leaning on the door trying to listen. I curse under my breath breaking from the hot session we were having him not removing his hands from my ass, "aren't you going to let me go?" I question him and he smirks leaving me. "I missed your ass" he says and I roll my eyes turning around to see if my makeup is ruined.

"Okey am going please don't move" I tell him sternly and he raises his hands in surrender a smirk playing on his lips.I try my best from smiling but he so irresistable with his good looks,I stand on my toes even through I have this heels giving him a chaste kiss before brushing my fingers on his already tight pants and move faster not waiting for his response before I open the door.I find my mum ready to call someone before she notices me opening the door, "Kater is there any problem? Are you okey?" She asks faster and I close the door not letting her look inside.

"Everything is okey,am fine I told you the door was just stuck.But why did you come looking for me?" I ask her moving away from the washroom, "what do you mean by why I come looking for you? I saw how you and Mr.Laurent arguing,you two were practically eager to rip each others head and when you stayed here for long he said I check up on you" she explains and I just sigh, "Marcos told you to check up on me?" I ask her and she nods, "well I don't feel like talking to him,can I use your car to get home or shall I call for your taxi?" I ask her and she sighs giving me a weak smile. "My dear just work things out with Marcos,he seems like a good man he will.." she tries to encourage me but I interrupt her, "thats the thing mum,we are nothing but friends but his getting the wrong thing.He is basically acting as if he's my boyfriend but his not" I explain to her.

"Its so hard to find love and when you find it,it can slip away without you knowing" she says absent minded and I see her eyes tear up, "oh mum don't think of that, am sorry okey,I will go back and try to fix thing up with that loser then" I tell her taking her hands in mine and she smiles weakly. "Don't call him a loser you don't even know maybe he will be your future husband" she jokes and I roll my eyes leading her to the ballroom, "don't you think its a little early to think of my marriage mum or a future son in law" I retort and she huffs flipping her strawberry blonde hair from her face.

"Thats nonesense,when your in love you won't even care which age you get married" she says and I chuckle little,even through my mum didn't have the best marriage she still believes in love.We enter the grand place and find people settled for the rewarding.My mum pulls me to where Marcos is sitting and he immediately stands up pulling a chair for me to sit,I hùff a little not like his charming behaviour because it will be hard for me to stay mad at him. "Are you still mad at me?" He asks and I sigh in defeat giving him a small smile, "if you continue being a gentleman I don't think I can be mad at you" I tell him and he grins taking my hand kissing it.

"Am sorry for being a jack,I don't know why I acted like that when I saw how Quinn was looking at you while you were dancing" he say giving my hand a gentle squeeze and I instantly feel bad for going behind his back and having a hot session makeout with Quinn. "Its true you were a jack but you were wrong by thinking Mr.Linch and I could have something going on" and the lies never stops coming.

"I know,I know am sorry can you give me another chance?" He asks innocently and I can't stop suppressing my smile, "its okey your forgiven" I say dramaticlly flipping my hands in the air and he chuckles from my gesture. "Ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention please,I hope everyone is here so we can start the awards" The host mentions making everyone to keep quiet and settle down,now here comes the boring part of this event.

The awards starts people being awarded for their business or their contribution even Marcos was called twice from his business,it seems his company is quiet famous but not as for Quinn.I yawn from all the boring talk that is happening and my mum shots me a glare as if I have done something wrong.Immediately I hear the host announcing the event is almost over and I almost jump up with joy because this thing is so boring I could have slept listening to their thankyous and your welcomes. "This thing is really boring the shit out of you?" Marcos whisper at me and I giggle a little, "is it that obvious?" Its of a statement than a question so he just shakes his head in amusement.

When the awards event is finally over,Marcos and I get ready to leave but there is always people to bid him goodbye,so I just stay there camly as if they aren't really pissing me off and just give them a lovely smile to ease there doubts.I see Quinn making his way with Mia her hands locked with his and he says he never came with anyone, "Marcos my friend we haven't even gotten the chance to greet each other properly" Quinn says giving him a toothy grin which he reciprocates glady and they give each other a manly hug,typical men with there signature hugs move. Mia greets Marcos with her charming smile and turns to me,I swear if it wasn't for her standards and her nice behaviour I would have already known her as a hoe.

She greets me assessing me as if she's trying to figure out something, "have we ever met by any chance?" She asks me curiously and when am about to answer Quinn does for me the pleasure, "she works for me so am sure you have seen her in the company" he answers for me as if am dumb or something.Her eyes shine in rememberance and her smile stretches, "ah yes now I remember but I never really got to know your name" she says innocently and I just offer a forced smile because am really tired with everything that has happened tonight,I answer her immediately not wanting a spokesman, "Kater Mendes" I answer shortely but it seems she has a lot of questions.

"Kater Mendes? You mean your the daughter of Laura Mendes?" She questions and I nod in acknowledgement, "yep the one and only" I answer briefly and feel Marcos hand circle my little waist,I ignore him not ready to argue with anyone. "Wow its really an honour to meet the daughter of Miss Mendes she never shows off her children,I heard you have a bigger brother any chance his not taken?" She chatters making me to chuckle a little,she can be a chatter box to the way she is talking non stop. "Well for now his taken" I tell her and she frowns from the answers but really quick to wave it off.

"Too bad but if your Miss Mendes daughter why are you working for Quinn here?" She asks glancing at a very irritated Quinn but she doesn't seem to give a shit. I really did want to be answering this questions but I knew it would affect me at some point, "okey thats enough I think you have drunk enough wine for tonight" Quinn saves me and takes away the glass of wine she was drinking.She pouts argueing for him to give it back but Quinn says his goodbyes glancing at me one last time before he takes her away.She can be fun when she is a little drunk, "okey lets go,its becoming a little too late" Marcos says leading the way out and am greatful his thinking of leaving this place once and for all.

The ride back to my apartment is comfortable silent which am thankful because am in no mood for peep talks.He walks me to my door which I argued for him not to escort me like a child but he didn't listen, "tonight was a very..eventful night, thanks by the way for the invite,I really enjoyed myself" I thank him and he nods coming closer to me and before I can comprehend whats going on I feel his lips on mine not having the strength to push him away,I give in to the kiss.

He swipes the seam of my lips seeking for entrance and so I open my mouth letting his tongue massage mine,his kiss is different,more softer,slower and cautious as if am going to break not like when am with Quinn with all the desire and lust we carry in every kiss.I break the kiss not having the energy to continue and breathe heavily from the short circuit from the loss of air. I speak up before Marcos does because I don't want things to be mixed up between us, "about the kiss,am not really sure what it meant but to be clear am not into relationship kind of things" I tell him and I see hurt flash in his eyes but he is fast to compose himself.

"Um...I don't know what say,I would be lying if I told you I don't like you which I can't bring myself to say it but I really like you Kater but if thats what you have decided I won't force you, just know I will be here for you always" he says cupping my face making my lips to pout and he kisses them softly before letting them go. I look at him dumbfonded wondering what he likes in me after I told I basically don't want a relationship with him, "um okey thanks I guess" I retort and he just chuckle giving me a chaste kiss on my forehead,I must say his kisses are welcoming.

"Okey I will be taking my leave now,I will see you later and maybe I will change your mind about relationships about me" he says winking, "you wouldn't like to miss all of this would ya now?" He whispers at me making me giggle and scrunch my nose faking disguist and he chuckles from my behaviour. "Goodnight Kater" he bids pecking my cheeks before he leaves.I open the door trying to find the switch to turn on the lights,I look around to see everything is where I left I guess Cam is not her.

I head to the fridge to make myself some dinner because am starving remembering how my mum was forbidding me from drinking any wine. I cook for myself some stewed beef and bread which I was watering over while I was cooking,when I make myself comfortable to eat I feel my phone ring making me to groan in frustration,I put down the spoon I was ready to it from and look at the message that has been sent.I see its a private number knowing its Quinn,he can't seem to trust me and just give me his user number,I mean am no stocker or clichè to be wiping off his ass if his afraid of that.

'You looked gorgeous tonight' I read it over and over trying to really come into terms with what I have read,he really has a lot of surprises tonight.I put down the the phone not knowing what to answer and just smile eating my delicious dinner.
