Chapter ten

He smiled.

Marcus smiled, the softeness of her lips was still so much evident in his mind. Wait! You're smiling? Like as if he was in a daze he stood up and pinched his face back into a frown.

"Am not smiling...." He said to himself as he made his way upstairs. He must be really sex starved for him to be smiling sheepishly.

Sophie got into her car after having walked or practically ran barefoot out of the house. Her heart was in a mess. He had caught her offguard, yes and it was actually her first time being kissed in such a manner.

She swirled out against the road and drove off to her house, one hand on the staring wheel and the other on her fast beating chest.

"Wait....did I kiss him, or did he? I can't even remember! Oh God? Am practically dead tommorow. On my first day at work I kissed my boss" well played, she thought. She didn't even noticed she was talking to herself.

When she got home she picked her bags, packed her shoes and walked as fast as her legs could and went into the house. As she dropped her bag she heard her phone ring, picking it she slumped into a chair.

" Hello Stacy.... " She said to her one and only best friend.

" Hi baby girl.....you've gotten a job,"

" Why did you ask" she said shocked

" Because you didn't call me for so long, aren't I your best friend any longer"

Sophie laughed forgotten about her predicament " of course you are, and yeah I did get a job but today was my first day"

" Seriously, so how was it?"

"Really hectic, I work for the popular CEO of the Exclusive Club"

"Wow.....you get to work as a maid in his house. You must be driping over for him already "

Yeah....I sure am. Sophie thought briskly but she wasn't ready to tell Stacy about the kiss yet. She was a very jealous type and she wants no problem.

"Of course not. Why would I be, see Stacy I'll call you back okay, I just got back from work not too long ago and I need to freshen up."

"Okay babe, make sure you do call me back."

After Sophie ended the call.she stood up and walked to her room to shower.

Stacy sat down silently and faced Brain, her best friend...

"So she really got the job with your boss, she must be happy. She sees someone to push all her financial problems on. But I'll tell you, Marcus is mine and mine alone"

" What do you plan to do now.... I can only spy at him during work hours, can't go to his place to know what's happening." Brian said nonchalantly.

" I will think of something to do. I will do anything to remove anything or anyone out of my way. No matter what it takes."

" The boss doesn't seem like someone who's ready to fall in love again. Not even his maid."

"You never know Marcus, he falls for anything that has a good heart.... And Sophie's the best person. If she keeps on working in his house, there's every possibility that he"ll fall for her and I won't let that happen." She said settling down deeper into her seat. Brian only nodded.

Marcus didn't sleep.....or couldn't sleep rather, the thought of Sophie was what filled his head, her pale skin, her slender legs, tiny waist, dark blonde hair, deep blue ocean eye that will want you drooling in them. And then her lips, red small Rosy full pink lips.

Her image filled his head. He must be going mad for his heart was locked and he wasn't opening it to anyone. So why can't he get his mind off her or their kiss.

He rolled over on his king sized bed, got down and went downstairs to the kitchen to get table water . She had even made him dinner before he came back and her food was delicious. He imagined her on his bed, naked and wet, with her hair spread over his pillow. But what was wrong with him.

He needs another appointment with his doctor again.
