Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Bella cleared her throat to gain the attention of the two who were standing in such close proximity, they didn’t even notice her walking in, her eyes rolled at the sight..

“Boss”

Damien turned around to face her with an arched brow, she walked to him handing him a brown envelope..

“I got exactly what you asked for boss..”

He accepted the envelope giving her a short nod, Olivia’s interest was piqued as her eyes fell on the envelope..

“If it’s to my liking, then you’ll get a raise this month.. you may leave now”

Bella beamed walking out of the office, a raise this month would certainly help her mental health recover quickly after all these weeks of working her ass of..

“Umm.. where were we?” Damien inquired meeting her gaze once more..

“Nowhere exactly.. I was on my way to go get lunch” she murmured nonchalantly walking to the door when his voice came again..

“Let’s have lunch together..”

She stopped walking and turned back to him with a small frown, why was he trying to crawl up her skin?

“No thank you! I don’t want a fresh new scandal popping up and calling me all sorts of names”

Damien snorted, he threw the envelope on his desk and strode to her, he stared at her for a brief second before clasping their hands together..

“Not on my watch”

And just like that, he led her out of the office paying deaf ears to her protests as they passed by the other employees cubicles..Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The stares, the murmurs and also side talks chewed her up deeply..

“Dami-

“Ignore them.. if anyone of them says anything bad about you, report them to me immediately” he said more like an order..

He pressed the elevator button which took two second to open up, he pulled her gently and pressed the last button for the doors to close again…

Olivia stared down at their hands clasped together, she made an attempt to pull her hand out but it only got tighter in his hold…

She snapped her head up to him, but he tore his eyes away from her..

“Let go.. there’s really no need for you to hold hands with me, you and I both know that this is fake”

In the next second, she crashed into his chest after he pulled her in..

he placed a finger under her chin raising her face up to stare into her bright eyes..

“Maybe to you this is fake.. but to me, it’s way more than that.. I hope you can understand my intentions?”

His gaze left her eyes and lingered on her slightly parted yet inviting lips, he dipped his head down a bit but the sound of the elevator opening made him step back away from her..

He grinned from ear to ear on seeing the faint color of red spreading on her cheeks, he guessed right, even the hardest of rocks can soften with time..

“Come on..”

***

In the midst of this normal and free moments was Xander who was staring down at his plate without taking a bite out of it..

He had a feeling that he won’t leave here on his two feet but rather, he’d be carried out on a stretcher or as a corpse instead..

Next to him was Bianca who had this weird smile on her face, now he knew he was done for, and he couldn’t refute this meal otherwise it’d be impolite..

The dish looked relishing and definitely appetizing, but to what does he owe this huge favour from Bianca?

She touched his hand resting on the table with a small smile..

“Don’t you want to eat this? I could make another-

Cassie and Sandy whispered among themselves with series of giggles following next..

“No don’t bother.. it’s just that i-

He inhaled sharply as soon as her hand fell on his thigh giving it a tight squeeze, he snapped his head to her with an arched brow..

“Don’t worry baby.. I’ll feed you if that’s what you want” She remarked with a playful yet devilish grin..

She picked up his spoon scooping a spoon of chilli soup, she blew on it gently and raised it up to his lips..

Xander’s eyes roamed around the table, all three ladies had a smile on their lips whereas one little soul had a sorry expression on his face..

Kelvin shook his head gently at the poor dude sitting across from him he knew his aunt well enough..

“Come on open up.. don’t be shy”

He took a deep breath in, there was really nothing to feel scared about, she wasn’t possibly going to poison his meal when everyone was watching them..

What could possibly go wrong?

With that thought in mind, he parted his lips open and ate from the spoon..

“How’s it? is it tasty enough?”

Her hand dropped to his thigh once more, she caressed it gently while she watched with interest how the veins on his neck almost popped out..

Xander forced a nod to her, only he knew how much his tongue was burning hot, he snapped his head to her in unbelief..

“Come on have another spoon.. I feel really bad for how I’ve been treating you lately” She pouted blinking her eyes at him..

“What alien spirit possessed Bianca? she’s acting really weird” Sandy whispered to Cassie who was stuffing her face with cornbread..

“Right?” Cassie asked right back stressing her single word..

She knew Bianca well enough, she was almost the same as Olivia when it came to their pride, the thoughts washed off her head as Xander took the second spoon..

Perhaps she changed overnight, well that was great..

Xander’s ears burned out, he couldn’t tell what hurt more, his tongue? or his thigh which Bianca was currently pinching..

He placed his palm over hers, so this was what she meant earlier, she was trying to chase him out of her life by doing this..

He held her other hand going for the third spoon of the deadly chilli extremely hot soup..

Two could really play at this game she just created, with that in mind, he scooped from his bowl and presented it in front of Bianca’s lips..

She sent a threatening glare to him, never in her wildest dream would she taste that..

She herself knew the amount of hot sauce she dumped in that, just a taste could make your taste buds and tongue go up in flames..

Xander saw through her thoughts, a smirk crawled up his lips, copying what she did earlier, his hand fell on her thigh, he didn’t squeeze it but caressed it gently..

A gasp escaped her lips as his palm made its way up her thighs..

Taking that as an opportunity, he shoved the spoon into her mouth..

Olivia froze up as Damien’s hand reached for her lips from across the table in the empty diner which he booked down earlier..

He wiped the smudges off her lips with a napkin and resumed eating his meal like he didn’t just do anything..

“Okay.. I think we need to talk about your recent habit of touching me whenever you get the chance.. I’ll break your limbs when next you try that”

“If trying to woo you will result into that, then I’m willing to stay handicap”

She choked, hard!

He handed her a glass of water which she took without hesitating for a second..

“Easy.. be careful”

A little commotion at the diner’s entrance gained their attention..

A young man could be seen struggling with the huge men guarding the door, he slipped out of their hold and ran up to the couple having lunch..

Just when he was close enough, he pulled Olivia to stand up on her feet abruptly with a sharp glare directed at Damien..

“Just because I was away for some weeks, you think it’s okay to get entangled with another guy Olivia?”

Damien’s brows furrowed, his knuckles turned into white fist balls as he stared at the unknown man’s hand around Olivia..

“You?! what do you think you’re doing?” She fired harshly with a glare trying to pull out of his strong hold but he didn’t budge..

In a blink of an eye, she felt herself being pulled into another stronger and protective arm..

Damien wrapped an arm around her waist possessively before facing the man who dared to touch her..

“Do you have a death wish?!” he gritted seething in rage..
