Chapter twenty

Sophie left work earlier than expected. She didn't want to see her Boss Marcus that day again after what had transpired between them. That and because of her dinner date tonight with Dave.

When she got home, she went to the bathroom to have her bath. When she was done she walked over to her closet to pick out a short black gown, gray jacket, a black heels, and a grey bag.

she stood in front of the mirror and checked out her outfit. she didn't want to dress too extravagant. But she didn't want to dress too simple either.

When she was satisfied with her dressing. she picked her phone to call Dave.

"Hi Dave. Am ready"

"Okay, come outside" He said

"you're outside?" She asked him surprised.

" yeah, for like fifteen minutes now....now come out" With this he ended the call.

Sophie stared at herself one last time in the mirror the took her handbag to leave.

When she got outside, Dave got down from the car to hug her. And she hugged him back.

"You look stunning" he told her as he opened the passenger door for her.

"Thank you" she smiled at him not returning the compliment. Dave got into the car and drove off. The drive to the restaurant was quite and peaceful. And Sophie was greatful for that.

She has nothing to say whatsoever.

When they got to the restaurant, Sophie was stunned. It was beautiful and exotic. Mostly for romantic couple, She looks at Dave for an answer but he didn't look her way. They were no more than friends so why where they here. Sophie thought.

A waiter came and took them to a reserved seats. Sophie sat as Dave drew out her chair for her.

"Thank you" She smiled her thanks.

He sure was a gentleman.

After they made their orders, and the waiter left, Dave looked at her.

"So, why the maids job, there are better jobs out there for you to do"

She smiled "With no college degrees? No company is willing to accept someone with just an high School holder and the maids job pays more than you can imagine" she said.

"You're wrong. There are good jobs for high school holder like you. And the pays will be far better than the maids service. Even in our company, we have good paying jobs if you're interested"

"Seriously?" She said not sounding as enthusiastic as she should have. But what did you expect. The poor thing is in love with her Brutal Boss.

The waiter came just then to serve them. And after he left, Dave dug into his food, and began eating.

" Just tell me anytime. I surely will get a better one for you."He told her.

"Uhmnn" Sophie said sipping her drink.

As she picked up her fork to eat. She cold feel his hot gaze on her and she didn't like it one bit.

" You know.... I've always had a fantasy of you since we were in high school. And I thought going far away would help me get rid of my feelings for you. It did. A little though. But when I came back the feelings came flooding back too."

Sophie looked up and locked eye with him. She became uncomfortable and began shifting in her seat.

"Am sorry.....I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Just thought I should tell you my mind."

"Dave..."he cut her off.

"No, Sophie, you don't have to give me a reply now. I'll gladly wait. I've waited for many years so so waiting another few days or weeks won't kill me" he said and laughed.

Sophie smiled. Literally loosing all her appetite.

But she wasn't about to let him know that, or he'll become sad. so she kept on stuffing more food into her parched mouth.

Arrrrggggghh. Sophie lamented.

**** ****

Sophie got down from Dave's car and waved at him.

"Thanks for tonight Dave, I really enjoyed myself" She told him.

"I did too. And it's my pleasure."

He waved back at her too and drove off after promising to check up on her whenever she's less busy.

She signed tiredly and began walking to her front Door. She had almost gotten to it when a black sport car drove in and stopped at her door.

"who could that be " she murmured.

Her mouth fell agape when Marcus came down from the car and walked towards her.

"Miss Sophie" he greeted her.

she stared wide eyed at him.

"What are you doing here sir, And how did you know where I stay." she said.

"It was in your resume. And I got home to find an empty house. I was quite worried because that had never happened before."

"My phone number was in the resume too. You could have just called instead if coming over" She said quiet annoyed.

"Aren't you going to invite me in" He told her. And she gave him a deadly glare. But invited him anyway.

He had to bend a little to enter at her door step for he was quite tall.

When he got in, he sat down even before she told him too and looked around. He didn't even fit into her tight space.

She sat opposite him, earning him to see her long pale beautiful legs and he glared hard at them.

"where are you coming from..... Dressed like this."

"I....I...had dinner...I had dinner with a friend." she stuttered. Her head bowed, not wanting her eyes to meet his.

"Is that why you left work a little early today. To eat with another man?" His tone had grown icy and Sophie looked up.

His face has hardened. And his expression screamed jealousy. Was he jealous. Does he have a right to be?

" How did you know it was a man....and what if it was a man. I have every right to do whatever I want to do." She told him. not wanting him to defeat her.

" Say that again." He said standing up and walked towards her. She cowered back into her chair.

"What..... what.....are you doing?" She stammered.

He grabbed her hand gently and dragged her up to him.

" The moment I entered you Sophie, you became mine, and mine alone." he said and with this he took her lips in a heart wrenching kiss. He didn't give her time to talk or do anything.

His head was filled up. He couldn't wait any longer. She had been tempting him since he saw her in that gown clutching to every damn part of her body.

And the thought that another man had been looking at her the same way sent anger down his spine.

He kissed her fiercely and throughly, not giving her any breathing space. And he blindly remove her jacket. He stopped abruptly to read her expression and could see the passion and hunger in her eyes too.

"Sophie...." he murmured. Slipping a few strands of hair behind her ear.

She looked into his eyes and he felt he would drown in them. Deep ocean blue eyes. They were so lovely.

" Do you want this?" He asked her, to be sure again.

"yes" was the only statement she made before he carried her in his arms.

"The bedroom?" He asked and she pointed to the room next to the kitchen.

He carried her in like the goddess that she was. And she clung to him for dear life. For she knew that she was about to be ravished by her Tempting Boss.
