"I fell in love with you the way you touched me without using your hands."

Amelia's POV

Ring!

Ring!

In my sleepy state, I stretched out my hand to find my phone which was ringing loudly. Somehow I found my phone and slide the green icon without checking out the number. Actually, it's doesn't matter because, with my sleepy eyes, I will never able to recognize the number.

"Hello!" I murmured in a sleepy voice.

"Hello to you, Ms. Dawson!" a man replied in his deep voice with a small laugh.

As soon as I heard the voice, I woke up with a jerk and stared at the phone with wide eyes, this can't be happening.

"How did you get my number?" I asked calming myself, I was breathing heavily. My heart was pounding so loudly against the rib cage that I almost hear its sound.

"I thought you were smart, but I'm so disappointed hearing such a stupid question from you," he said in a teasing voice. I just rolled my eyes in response.

"What do you want?" I asked curtly.

I don't have any energy to talk with him, especially on a Sunday morning. First, he ruined my beauty sleep, now he's teasing me. That's two reasons are enough for hating this guy. Even he didn't apologize for his behavior yesterday.

So to me, he's a jerk, that's for sure. And I don't know why did even I sleep with him.

"I'm standing outside of your house. Come out, I need to talk to you." He ordered. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

The nerve of the guy--- how can he order me like this?

"And who said I want to talk to you?" I replied in a bored tone, "See, you are my boss at the office, and today's Sunday. So, there's no way I will follow your order just because you asked me."

"So, you will not come?" he asked again, his tone was calm but I'm sure he was controlling his anger.

"I thought we already established that. See, I'm very sleepy right now and I don't want to ruin my day meeting you. So yeah, I AM NOT COMING!" I said, emphasizing the last sentence.

"If you do not come out in 2 minutes, then I will come inside the house." He warned in a calm tone.

"Be my guest!" I said and cut the call before he can say something.

Keeping my phone on the nightstand, I lay on the bed warping the blanket around my body.

I'm sure he was just messing with me. There is no way, he will come to meet me here when I live with Camellia who also works at his office.

I was just about to close my eyes to sleep again when the doorbell rang.

Did he really---- oh shit!

I quickly woke up and sprinted out of my room only to find Liam Cartwright in front of my doorstep.

Well! I might have underestimated the guy.

Camellia was standing at the door, I was facing her back so I can't see her reaction. But I'm sure she was shocked like me.

"Mr. Cartwright, what are you doing here?" Camellia asked.

"Actually I have to meet your friend that's why I came here," Mr. Cartwright said with a smile then his eyes fell on me.

He smirked at me, "Here you are, Ms. Dawson."

Camellia looked at me raising her eyebrows at me with confusion. Anger was boiling inside me, I just want to wipe off that smirk from his face.

Jerk!

———//———–//———

"You could wear something better, you know." Mr. Cartwright commented looking at my clothes.

Well, I have agreed to talk with this him but we can't discuss that in front of Camellia. Even I don't want to discuss such things in front of my friend. Camellia did ask me about it, I didn't tell her yet but I promised her that I will tell her after coming back. Now, we are going somewhere else to talk.

And for that, I have worn a floral top and tight jeans. I don't think it's that much worse. And who cares what he thinks?

I rolled my eyes at him, "It's not like we are going on a date. Then why should I care about my appearance that to in front of you?" I said nonchalantly.

"Aren't you being too rude? Don't forget I'm still your boss." He said.

I let out a heavy sigh, "You are so annoying! See I'm hungry, so let's go and eat something. Because I need some energy to fight with you," I said with a yawn and hopped into the car before he can say something.

Well, this time I'm never giving him a chance to talk back.

I was busy arguing with him that I didn't see his car. But the leather seat is so comfortable that I can sleep on them again peacefully. I closed my eyes feeling the softness.

Well, I'm more sleepy than ever, all thanks to my pregnancy. Nowadays, I feel more sleepy.

"First tie your seat belt." I opened my eyes hearing his voice, only to find him too close to me.

He was fixing my seatbelt. I gulped my saliva, I stared at him without blinking my eyes. My heart was beating so fast and loud right now

I think he can even hear the sound of my heart. After fixing my seatbelt, he moved away. I let out a breath of relief, I didn't even know I holding my breath until now.

"Tha--nk you!" I said stammering.

"Why are you stammering?" he asked looking at me curiously, "Even your face is red. Are you blushing?" His lips curved into a sly smile.

"I am --not," I said stammering.

"That's something new. Blushing and stammering, well I liked it." He winked at me.

"Do you want me to smack your face?" I asked raising my eyebrows at him, "If not, then drive before I kill you with my bare hands." I warned.

"You're dangerous." He snorted before turning towards the road and starting the engine.
