chapter 19: seduction and tension

"you shouldn't dare me miss camila".

I swallowed hard, my heart racing as Ethan's face hovered inches from mine. His eyes seemed to bore into my soul, and I felt a shiver run down my spine."You...you shouldn't be doing this, Mr. Ethan," I stuttered, trying to sound firm but failing miserably.Ethan's lips curled into a sly smile. "Oh, but I'm just getting started, Miss Camila," he whispered, his breath sending tingles down my neck.I tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He pinned me to the wall, his body pressed against mine. I felt a rush of excitement mixed with fear.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, breaking the tension. Ethan's head jerked up, and he looked at me with a mixture of frustration and disappointment."Saved by the bell, it seems," he muttered, stepping back and adjusting his shirt.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. "I...I think I'll go and see who it is," I stammered, making a hasty exit from the room.As I walked downstairs, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Ethan's seductive gaze had left on me. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of emotions, and I didn't know how to keep my head above water. how would I face Ethan again after what had just happened, I sighed in frustration.

I got the door and it was ivy, hi ivy, you want anything?

Nope, I just came you call you guys down for dinner you probably have gotten the chance to eat well, ohh that's true I really haven't eaten but for some reasons I just didn't feel hungry. I smiled at her, I couldn't just turn her down.

Thanks ivy we would be down in a jiffy, she then smiled and left.

What did she want, Ethan asked immediately I got back into the room.

She wanted us to come down for dinner I replied him avoiding his eyes, hmm alright you could go alone I'm not hungry he said lying back on the bed.

I nodded and left the room, I got to the dining table and the dishes were already served, I looked at the table feeling surprised, how did she cook all this and even prepare the table all by herself within that short space. Serve yourself please she said I smiled at her feeling grateful, did you make these yourself I said, she smiled and replied,of course I've gat few helping hands in the kitchen she said, ohh how come I haven't noticed any of them I thought you lived alone i replied feeling surprised, she just smiled and didn't reply futher.

is Ethan not coming she asked, he said he wasn't hun... I'm right here,, I looked back feeling surprised.

I thought you said you weren't coming, I wispered to him, he smiled at me without replying me, I rolled my eyes at him while making a face which made him burst into laughter, I looked at him surprised,Ivy just smiled and left, it was the first time I saw him laughed and it felt nice, for some reason I loved the way he laughed and just wanted to see him laugh all the time, he looked more handsome while laughing.

I kept staring at him while he kept laughing, after he laughed to his heart content he finally stopped and looked at me, you are one funny girl for sure he said chuckling.

I looked down to the food I was eating without saying a word feeling shy, I ate quietly and when I was done I left for the room still feeling shy leaving just him on the table, I got to the room, wiped my face and went to bed, I kept staring at the ceiling thinking about Ethan's smiling face, his very cute I wispered to myself, I kept thinking about him until I had drifted off to sleep without knowing.

I woke up the next morning feeling a weight on me, I tried to move but couldn't, I open my eyes and saw Ethan close to me his hand on my waist and his head on my chest, I gently pushed him away, I got up from the bed and went to shower, i got dressed into a casual dress and got out, ethan had said we wouldn't be going to the office this week also so we stuck in this house till we think of a plan. I got out of the bathroom and sat back on the bed staring at Ethan's face I brushed off the strands of hair on his face and kept staring, his were in a perfect line and I felt the sudden off to kiss him, I reached out for his long hair they felt softer than mine and I liked it I moved closer to smell his hair probably if I would be familiar with the products he used but I wasn't, I kept looking at him he looked very cute while sleeping, just like a baby without any worries in the world.

When you're done admiring my beautiful face tell me so I could go shower he said with a smile and his eyes still closed, I jolted feeling surprised.

I-i- thought you were still sleeping I said feeling embarrassed while standing from the bed, he opened his eyes with a smile on his face, don't worry I understand you just couldn't resist looking at this handsome guy right here he said pointing to himself, stop deceiving yourself! I said before running out of the room feeling extremely embarrassed.

Ohh hi cami, Good morning, it's a good thing you already down come have breakfast ivy said in a go.

Morning ivy, I sat on the dinning chair and started eating, I had already finished eating before Ethan came, I stood up to leave avoiding him entirely still feeling embarrassed by his presence, you aren't leaving because of me are you? He asked, not at all! Why would I do that, am just already done eating I said still avoiding him gaze then I left the table. I went outside to get some fresh air and noticed the pool on the other side, I went there feeling excited, I got there and sat on the edge of the pool and dipped my legs inside it swinging it joyfully, while I gazed at the garden opposite it, it was a big garden with a lot of vegetables, I loved gardens but the ones with more flowers than vegetables. I kept looking at the garden and it brought back memories of my parents, which made tears well up my eyes as the thought of them resurfaced. I miss them so much I wispered as the tears rolled down my eyes.
