Adrian had a hidden smirk playing on his lips. "What did you say?" he asked, moving closer to me until we were inches apart.
"OMG!" I hit my forehead. "Oh, jeez! That isn't what I wanted to say!"
"Miss Neeve, I know you want more of me," he said, his eyes scanning me from head to toe, lingering on my chest. "However, I have already told you, I'm not interested in your type."
I didn't know why my statement had changed, and now this jerk was thinking I was interested in him! "What are you looking at?" I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest shyly.
Adrian shook his head. "Come with me," he said, turning.
"Is that a yes?" I pouted, a tiny spark of hope igniting within me.
"I'm not allowing you to come with me to my house," he stated plainly. "The last time, you… left with all my belongings," he said out loud, looking at me pointedly.
I quickly reached out and covered his mouth with my hand. "You think I'm a thief, huh?" I demanded. "Okay, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when we get there," he said, removing my hand.
Stephen stepped on the start button and drove the car out of the company's compound. They arrived at a large, opulent hotel, and Stephen walked to the reception. He was given a key for a room.
"Sir, here it is," he said, handing the key to Adrian. "I will take my leave," he added, and then left.
"Why have you brought me to a hotel, CEO?" I asked, confused.
"Don't think too highly of yourself," Adrian scoffed. "I have already told you, on normal grounds, I won't touch you. "Come here," he said, holding my hand and leading me to the VIP room.
What Adrian wanted to say to Neeve this afternoon was that she should lodge with him. He wanted to confirm if, with her by his side, he could fall asleep without having nightmares. Right now, it was a wish come true. He was just using Neeve for his sleep. He had wondered what if she's his sleeping pills? Does that mean Neeve has to be with him all night? He had doubted this fact, and here he was, about to confirm his thought.
"Let go of my hand!" I wriggled free from his hold with force as soon as we got inside the room. "Do you enjoy holding my hand?"
"There's nothing special about your tiny hand," he scoffed.
"Why did you collect only one key from the receptionist?" I questioned, my eyes narrowing.
Adrian moved closer to me. "Don't you want to spend the cold night in bed with me?"
"Your wish!" I staggered backward. "I told you it was a slip of the tongue! "I don't wanna share a room with you!" I snapped.
"It's not the first time, anyway," Adrian retorted, a slight pout on his lips.
"I don't wanna talk to you!" I declared, sitting down on the bed.
Adrian began to loosen his shirt buttons, one after the other. "What… are you doing?" I quickly stood up and grabbed his hand, stopping him from unbuttoning his shirt further.
"Miss Neeve, what are you doing? "Are you that hungry to eat me up?" he teased, a playful glint in his eyes.
"Jerk!" I pushed him, but as I did, Adrian held my hand, and we both tumbled onto the bed.
"Miss Neeve, are you so impatient?" he taunted, his breath mingling with mine, our faces inches apart.
"Get off me!" I barked, trying to push him away.
Adrian glanced at my chest again and shook his head. "Your breasts are so small!" He sprang away from my body and stood in front of me, watching me lie flat on the bed.
"Bastard!" I cried, quickly covering my chest with the pillow.
Adrian chuckled and left to shower. I don't know when I drifted off to sleep.
The early morning rays hit my forehead. It's morning already. I yawned, stretching. I tossed it to the side of the bed but didn't see Adrian. Where the hell is this bastard? I checked everywhere; he was nowhere to be found. Has he left? Good thing he's gone! I can do as I wish!
I pulled off my dress; I was stark naked. I began humming a song, then wrapped a towel around myself and went to have my bath. I was bathing when I suddenly slid in the bathroom, falling hard on the floor.
"Help me!" I cried out. I was lying naked, my legs spread, exposing all my possessions.
Adrian had gone to the receptionist this morning to make sure she zipped her mouth and told nothing to his mother nothing. Actually, this hotel belonged to his mother, and anytime he came here, she would always nag, thinking he had brought a "w***e" to her private hotel room. Neeve was the first woman he had ever taken here. He didn't know why. Maybe it was because he needed her help to cure his insomnia.
He returned to the room and heard her screaming, "Help me!" He quickly rushed inside the bathroom and found her stark naked, spreading everything.
"Oh, Jeez! "How did you end up in this position?" he asked, trying to contain his surprise.
"Get out! "What are you staring at?" I cried in shame, trying to disguise myself.
"Not that I wish to stare at your naked body, but here you are, lying stark naked. "It can't be helped to see your body." He watched me, unblinking.
"My backbone is broken!" I cried. He carried me in bridal style to the room and gently laid me on the bed. I was feeling shy, and he wondered why.
"Get away from me!" I yelled, covering my nakedness with the quilt. Get out! "I don't want to see you!" I frothed, my face burning.
Adrian leaned forward, his lips almost touching mine. "Are you angry that I saw your small breast?" he whispered, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Pervert! "That's what you are!" I nodded my head vigorously, bumping his forehead with mine.
"Are you a goat that fights with its head?" he whined playfully.
"Every time I'm with you, I always end up embarrassing myself!" I sobbed, hitting the bed as Adrian left me to do his own things.
It was time to depart. I was angry, embarrassed, and shy. I felt too timid to ride home in the same car as him.
"Do you want to hop in the car, or do you need my help?" Adrian called out.
"Leave! "I will board a cab!" I stood akimbo, my arms crossed.
"Suit yourself," he said, and Stephen drove him away in his car.
This guy isn't a gentleman at all! He can't even ask me to hop in for the second time! I fumed. I put a call to James, and he told me he would be here in a jiffy. I waited, sitting patiently for him, and soon enough, he arrived, driving his SUV jeep.
Adrian had left without Neeve, but a wave of guilt washed over him to leave her stranded. He asked Stephen to drive back to pick her up.
"Halt!" he barked suddenly. He saw Neeve get into James's car as James ushered her in. What is between these two? Is it true Neeve is giving him free p***y? That shameless woman! I shouldn't have come back for her! He ordered Stephen to turn back and headed home, painstaking in his thoughts.
James drove me to the hospital to visit Mother, and there I saw Mark.
"I'm going to kill somebody today."
