Once Upon A One NightStand

Chapter 13

CHLOE
I smiled to myself as he pulled away from the kiss softly and stared at me giving me tingles in my insides.
"That was breathtaking". He said smiling.
"Umm, I, I should get home now".
His smile dissolved. "What? Why?".
"Well, it's getting dark already and I have no other places to go except for my home".
"Hold up, we are not done".
My cheeks flushed. "Huh?".
"Come on, Chloe. Loosen up, I still have to spend time with you". He looked at my red cheeks. "I mean, get to know you more as my personal assistant".
"Oh". I mouthed.
"So let's go?".
"Sure". I smile a little. "So where exactly are we heading to?".
"Rockefeller Centre".
"What? I don't think just anyone would be allowed to go there".
"I'm not anyone, Chloe". He winked at me taking the lead.
I followed him and we got to the place going to the top of the rock observation deck and truly, no one stopped him.
"Wow". I got on the deck. "It's really damn beautiful".
"Told you I can get on it".
"So wait, they let you here anytime?".
He shrugged. "Yeah, mainly affluent people mostly".
"Your ice cream is melting". I pointed at it.
He glanced at it and threw it in a nearby trash can immediately before wiping his hands clean.
I gasped. "Lucas. I only said it melted, that doesn't mean you should throw it away".
"Yeah but I did anyway".
I shook my head at him then turned facing the sky. I sat by the deck watching as the sun set, it was really blazing.
"You like the view?".
"Yeah". I whispered.
"So tell me about yourself, I just want to know you more as my Personal Assistant". He added the last part hastily.
I chuckled lightly. "What do you want to know then, boss?".
"Likes, dislikes, your opinions, friends and maybe family or relationship status".
"I told you I don't have a boyfriend, I don't do those things".
He smiled sheepishly. "I just wanted to confirm it and verify it".
"Well I also don't have a family, I'm a total orphan".
"What?".
"Yep. You heard me".
"What about friends?".
"Brie is my only friend". I revealed. "And we met in college, she was my roommate".
"Oh".
"But I take her as my sister, as my family, she really is the closest person I've ever been with".
"Well you seem strong, not weak like some other people".
"I don't really like showing my weakness to people, I hate pity". I said truthfully.
He didn't say anything and I stared back at the sunset which seemed orange in color just like the fireplace burning.
"It's beautiful, right?". He whispered to me.
A smoky haze fell across the meadows and I sighted squirrels darted across paths. To me, they are funny creatures obsessed with nuts.
The sun had already begun its descent and a cold wind was lifting pockets of leaves tossing them recklessly into the jar.
I nodded, still staring at it, lost in its sight. The atmosphere was breezy, making my hair fly in different places around my face.
I smoothened it and glanced at Lucas, he quickly looked away making me chuckle.
He was staring at me. But why do I like that feeling? My heart warmed at the thought of him and a smile crept to my lips.

WILLIAMS PAIGE
I watched her as she read stories to Lili by the fireplace. She seemed really beautiful, this is the first time I've taken interest in a lady since Trisha left.
She is just so beautiful and adorable while reading stories to Lili, I really can't deny the fact that I admire Brianna so much.
Lauren had only been for business purposes and sometimes to relieve my sexual urges besides I know she's not been faithful to me in the relationship.
"I want to be a princess just like the girl in the story".
Brianna smiled at her. "Well you can be, you would look beautiful with a tiara".
"But I don't wanna kiss a frog". Lili scrunch up her face. "I mean, that's just disgusting".
"True". Brianna laughed in response taking a bite out of the chocolate cake.
I stared at her lips as she took it in the cake, biting it softly. Her lips, her pink silky lips. I quickly stood up and walked out.
I went to the hallway pacing about. Gosh!! Liam, what is wrong with you? She doesn't have interest in you and you are fantasizing about her lips.
I stopped and took a deep breath willing myself to calm down. I glanced at Trisha's picture and remembered the conversation Brianna and I had.
She had asked if I wanted more children, why would she ask that? Although, having a child seems to be stressful, it wouldn't hurt to have another angel with me.
I shrugged off the thoughts and headed back to the fireplace to see Lili asleep in her arms.
I smiled at the way Brianna cuddled her to herself. She would be so perfect being a Mum judging from the way she held Lili in her arms.
I walked towards her. "Is she asleep?".
"Shhh". She shushed me. "Don't wake her up".
I stared at Brianna as she directed her eyes towards the fireplace watching it closely.
Maybe she's intrigued with it just like me, I always enjoy the warmth of it and the glow always manages to lighten up my mood.
"You love the fireplace?". I asked her.
She smiled a little. "Yeah, My Mum always did and somehow, she passed it to me and here I am".
"You must really miss your Mum".
"Just like how you miss your Dad". She added.
I didn't say anything but watched her. I love the way she admires it, the way her beauty glows from the light of the fire.
"Oh Gosh!! She weighs a lot more than I initially expected". Brianna spoke up, making me turn to her.
I chuckled and took Lili from her arms carefully so as not to disrupt her sleep. I carried her and placed her head on my shoulders.
She really fell asleep. Usually, she talks and talks before she goes to sleep but today is different.
I walked to her room and slowly opened the door then went to her bed. I placed her on it carefully and kissed her forehead.
I turned to Brianna to see her staring round at Lili's room. I'm not surprised because I spent millions to make sure my daughter's room is just like a queen's.
I faced my little angel and covered her with a duvet as she was fast asleep. I gave her a light kiss on her forehead again softly.
sharing a kiss with my boss isn't so bad.

BRIANNA
"She looks cute when she's sleeping". I say staring at Lili's facial features.
He smiled. "Angels always look cute".
I looked around Lili's room, different colors dominated her room making it look so beautiful with a touché of uniqueness.
There was a crystal chandelier hanging from the center of the ceiling making the room so fancy and then the size as well.
"Let's go?". He spoke up, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I jerked back to reality. "Umm, Sure".
He led me out of the room turning off the lights before closing the door but only a little.
"Thanks for coming today".
"No problem". I shrugged. "It was Lili's wish so I didn't want to disappoint her".
"Yeah and that's why I said thanks''. He said as we stood outside her room.
I smiled at him. "You are welcome".
"So are you staying for the night like Chloe said or are you going back home? I could give you a ride if you want".
"No, it's fine". I shook my head. "I can stay here, no biggie".
He nodded and walked across the hallway with me behind. I gulped nervously, come on, Brianna, you said no biggie, right?
He continued walking until he got to a door which was closed. He inserted a key and opened it widely.
"Your room for the night".
I walked in as he said that and Oh My, this room is definitely heaven. I gaped as I stared at the large dazzling room.
It had everything and it was just so classic and fancy. Maybe that's how all his rooms are in this mansion.
"Is it okay for you?". He asked, standing next to me.
I nodded shyly. "Yeah thanks".
"Okay then, if you need anything, there will be maids to attend to you". He said and turned to leave.
"Umm, Liam?". I stopped him. "Wait".
I know that Chloe is gonna freak out if I say that I didn't tell Liam so I have to do this even if I don't want to.
He faced me. "Yeah?".
"Can we talk?". I asked him nervously.
"O-kay. What's this about?".
"Well you might find this surprising, I mean, I did as well when the ... ". I trailed off when I saw he wasn't listening.
He drew me close to him, placing his lips on mine immediately. What the hell is he doing right now?
I kept going backwards as we kissed until my back reached the wall landing on it. He cupped my cheeks while still kissing me.
He moved to my neck, kissing it softly as I closed my eyes, holding him tight to me. He caressed my hips, making me shudder.
I wrapped my hands around his neck as he lifted my right leg around his waist. His lips came on mine again kissing me slowly as I felt his hands on my knee sliding smoothly up the inside of my thigh ...
"I want you, Brianna". He whispered in my ears making my insides tingle.
