. Chapter 5

Amber’s POV

I woke to the sound of loud music playing from Adam’s room, I heard him come home last night around 4 AM.

“ you have got to be kidding me.” I muttered out in frustration, I pulled the blankets up over my head trying my best to block out the noise and rolling over to go back to sleep and forget about last night’s encounter with Adam.

I barely drank last night so I didn’t have a Hang over “at least that’s something.” I thought but the way I was feeling I wish I had been so I could blame it on something else instead, instead of my own desire.

Images from last night clouded my mind, my lower nether region still ached from his touch and the faint smell of his cologne still lingered on my body.

It was almost tempting enough to go bang on his door and demand him take me their and then but I won’t because no matter how bad I want to repeat it, I couldn’t it was a mistake.

I let out a long exaggerated sigh and yanked the cover’s from my body leaving me cold, I felt a shiver go up my body as I placed my small dainty feet into my warm slipper’s, I stomped off in the direction of Adam’s room banging my fist loudly on the wooden door.

I was banging so loudly the door shook from my fist hitting it so hard, the door Swung open and a very mad looking Adam answered.

“what is it now Amber?” he said glaring daggers at me, he lent his naked torso up against the wall and held the door close to him blocking me from seeing inside the room, my eye’s were glued to his hard ab’s, I shook my head from its daze and glared back at him.

“ do mind turning down the bloody music? Some people are trying to sleep, you will wake up the whole bloody neighbourhood!” I folded my arm’s over my chest, I hated confrontation but right now I was so tired and mad I just didn’t care and especially didn’t care how good he looked right now or how amazing our bodies worked together the night before while we f****d.

I was pissed off if their was one thing I hated more then anything in the world was to be woken up especially since I rarely sleep most nights.

“ Adam baby who is it?” I heard a woman’s voice call from behind him, I looked up at him and he was smirking at me, I pushed open the heavy door and saw a beautiful brunette laying up against the head board only in her bra the sheet’s tangled up around her body.

“ turn down the bloody music Adam now.” I glared at him stomping away to my bedroom, I shut my door and leaned against it willing my self not to cry over him but my traitorous tear’s didn’t listen to me because within seconds my tear’s were rolling down my cheek’s.

I know I shouldn’t be mad after all I was the one who walked away last night but it wasn’t even 24 hour’s later and he was already screwing someone else , I couldn’t help shake the feeling like it was all a game to him and at the thought of it made me sick to my stomach and I began to sob even harder.

I slid down my door onto the hard marble flooring, pulling my knee’s up against my chest.

I stayed like that for awhile until my phone rang on the bedside table pulling me out of my pity party for one, I didn’t bother getting up since it was only a short distance I crawled my way to my bedside table to answer my phone not bothering to get off my floor “ man I was pitiful” I thought shaking my head.

I grab my phone from the table and looked at the screen to see who it was, it was my investment advisor calling Robert Wellington .

Robert was a short man with a beard, he was in his late 40’s and was attracted to women who were half his age, I’ve had to tell him on more then one occasion that I wasn’t interested and to keep his hand’s to himself, if I have to tell him again I’ll probably snap, I only kept him around because he was damn good at his job and had nearly doubled the money Shirley had left to me, like I said damn good at his job but a bit to sleazy for my taste.

“ hello Robert.” I answered the phone sighing leaning my head against the base of the bed.

“ Miss Summer’s I called to let you know I may know of a new business opportunity that may interest you but the down fall of it would be that you would have to travel there today due to the owner’s request.” He said in a very high pitched snobbish voice that made me cringe just hearing him speak.

“ what exactly am I buying this time Robert?” I was in no mood to go anywhere.

“ A four seasons hotel in Malibu, the owner’s are retiring and they have no family to leave it too so they put it up on the market just yesterday I thought you might like to know.” He said matter of factly.

“ Robert, might I remind you I know nothing about hotel’s, so how do you suppose I’m supposed to run one. Hmm?” I gritted out and rolled my eye’s.

“ have I ever steered you wrong before? Beside’s it’s a fully staffed hotel it will practically run it’s self.” He said to me like I’ve already made up my mind.

“alrighttt...” I drew out the word “ maybe I should go and have a look at the place, it won’t hurt to have a look plus it will get me away from seeing Adam for awhile.” I thought to myself.

“ alright Robert you won make the arrangements.”

“ excellent Miss Summer’s I’ll send you the details by email, have a good day.”

“ bye” I said sighing before hanging up.

“ Great! Now I have to pack and get Timothy to book the tickets for the plane and book a hotel, grrr.” I said in frustration.

I texted my assistant Timothy who had been working for me since Shirley passed away.

Timothy was 6 ft 3 with black curly hair and wore black thick rimmed glasses that kind of reminded me of a librarian rather then a man with a degree in business.

Amber – hey Timmy, can you pretty please book me a flight to Malibu and accommodation, I will be there to look at another property and could you make it for today, thanks.

Tim – I’ll get right on it Miss Summer’s.

I threw my phone on my bed and got off the floor to get ready for the day.

I trudged over to the bathroom peeling off my clothes before getting in the shower and turning it on, I couldn’t wait to get the smell of Adam off me.

I’ve decided I wasn’t going to talk to Adam for awhile and I’d let him know later I was going away, then he could have all the random hook up’s he wanted without me being in his way and I wouldn’t because it’s wasn’t my business, I had no right getting mad at something that had nothing to do with me because what we had was just a fling.

“ A really good fling.” I mutter to myself.

After I was finished in the shower I packed my bag’s and took them to the lounge room making sure I had my passport, phone and charger with me.

I strolled up the hallway to the lounge room tugging my heavy suitcase behind me, I placed them beside the sofa, Adam and the brunette were at the front door saying their goodbyes while she giggled at something funny he said.

I know it was petty but I mimicked her under my breath Adam must have heard me though because his head went up like a rocket and he was smirking when he shut the door to his new “friend”.

“ jealous are we?” he said c*****g his eyebrows at me.

“Hardly.” I said snidely “ you can bone whoever you want just like I can, just don’t forget to wrap it this time, I know we didn’t, oh and by the way I’ll be going away for a couple of week’s to Miami so I won’t be here.” I wasn’t really going to hook up with anyone, truth be told Adam was the first for me in a long time I just wanted to hurt him like he hurt me

His eyes flash over in red hot anger and he kept clenching his fist like he wanted to hit something.

“ fine, do whatever you want just don’t think you can come crawling back to me the next time you want to fuck.” He said to me while turning and stomping off to his room and slamming the door.

“ Guess I touched a nerve.”

I wanted to go after him I didn’t mean it but my head and heart wouldn’t let me, I was always told I was to stubborn and prideful, maybe their right it was my way of pushing people away and building up my walls so no one could get past them, I didn’t want to get hurt again.

As I turn to put on the jug I get a text from Timothy.

Timothy – your driver will be there in 1 hour to pick you up and your plane leave’s in 3 hour’s, have a safe flight Miss Summer’s and let me know if their is anything else I can do for you.

Amber – thank you Timmy, but I will need you to come up tomorrow I’d like a second opinion, charge your flight and accommodation to the company.

Timothy – right away Miss Summer’s I’ll see you tomorrow then.

Amber – see you then.

I smiled putting my phone away and finished making my coffee, once I was done I sat at the island with my k****e and my coffee until my driver came to take me to the airport at 2 p.m
