Hi guys! Thanks for the comments and the fab ratings! ^^ I’m so inspired to write more. Hope you’ll love this one. xoxo!
It was past midnight when I got home. After my “quickie” at the bathroom with Keigo, I didn’t even look or talk to him after he came. When I was finally able to catch my breath and my knees has stopped shaking, I stood up and arranged my clothes. He was still cleaning himself when I walked out the door. When he came back to our table, I tried my best to avoid even meeting his eyes. I mean, I’m so mortified! But I know that he wanted to talk to me. I slipped away when the two girls asked him to dance.
I dreamt of him that night.
The next day, everybody was abuzz at the office. My other teammates were so busy for the preparation for the newly acquired project. About 10:00 AM, Sir Mark called a meeting for the team that will handle it. I was surprised that my boss, called me too. Initially Mark has told me that he’ll be assigning me to another Korean account. Imagine everyone’s surprise when Mark named me as the new Team Leader for the HBH Account. “I’m so screwed! Figuratively and literally!” I thought. Gaile was shooting me dagger glances. They worked hard for that project. I turned to Mark, “Sir, I don’t think it’ll be fair to give me this account”. Mark nodded, but “I’ve discussed with Mr. Hattori the group of people I initially wanted to bring in. But he specifically ordered me to make you team leader.” He then proceeded to discuss how we will be handling the project, and I could say anything anymore. The only consolation is that Sharon and Gaile were made in charge with communication and logistics so they’d be talking to HBH more than me. I’ll just have to make a plan so Keigo and my path doesn’t cross too often.
All throughout the meeting, my mind was racing. Does Mark–or anyone else for that matter–know? I don’t know how will I even react when I see Keigo again. If we’ll even mention or talk about it. By the end of the meeting, I’ve come to a decision, to just brush it off like nothing happened. I mean, Keigo looked like the “one night stand” kind of guy. I wasn’t raped or anything, in fact I participated A LOT. So I have to suck it up and live with it.
It was pass noon when my my phone rung. ”Rossana here, hello?”
“Keigo here” there was a pause “Mark gave me your number. Since we will be working closely, I want us to meet for dinner and discuss some concerns I have.” Oh no, I thought, I’m effing screwed! ” Good afternoon Mr. Hottari. I’ve already instructed Gaile, she’ll be handling all the communications, to set up a meeting with your HBH team so we could discuss matters—–
” I want to tlak to you first, before that meeting,” he cut me off. “you’re avoiding me. I want to talk about last night.” he added.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” I was starting to shake. “Really? Have you already realized that we didn’t use any protection?” O.M.G. ” There’s nothing to worry, I’m on the pill.” by this time I was already whispering. Although my office is fairly secluded, it’s not enclosed. ” How about diseases?” he said. I was starting to get irritated. ” Look, Keigo, i don’t sleep around, so I’m certain and can very well assure you I am effing clean!” I heard him chuckle. ” I didn’t mean to assert you’re not. But how about me, what if I’m sick?” my heart stopped, “Are you?” he chuckled again. ” wouldn’t you like to know huh?”
His answer made me furious and scared at the same time ” Don’t play with me——”
“Of course I’m clean. I wouldn’t have fucked you If I wasn’t. You’re so uptight Rosanna. Mark says they call you Ross,may I call you Ross? You know what Ross? I think the only time you let yourself lose is when you fuck,” I can hear the smile in his voice, the bastard.
“You’ll meet with me tonight. Be at the lobby of your building by 7:00. I’ll send someone to pick you up.” The connection was cut.
Damn. Here I was planning and busting my brain thinking of ways to avoid him. I have to prepare tonight. The meeting should be strictly business. I can’t give in to his charms again.
