"Well, I wanted to gain some experience in a reputable institution.!"
"That's a good way of starting your career. Am glad you got drive and principles love."
"Speaking of principles, I need to head home before I disappoint my mum."
" Sure, will drop you, but first, I want to introduce you to something tonight." he cheekily said.
"Matt, I really don't think we have time for introduction of something new tonight!!"
" Thats why love, am introducing you to something called a quickie.Now be a good girl and get on your fours."
The new expirence was epic for Samantha and a new found high for Matt. No matter how he took Samantha the end result was the same for his heart, earth shattering. He couldn't imagine his life without her. A thought that gave a pause to his heart. when did he reach that point of needing Samantha from just wanting her. His thoughts were reinforced by the sheer anger he felt when he imagined Samantha in some else's arms.
With more force than he intended, he said to Samantha," Sammy, if I ever see or find you in someone else's arm........ so help me God."
" What in God's name has come over you, we have just come from doing the most intimate thing on this earth and then this..!!!!"
"Sorry, that came off harsher then intended,but, am serious when I say, I would destroy both you and the person i would find you with. You are only mine Sam." he said kissing her desperately and urgently. Sammy went along with it though confusion on her part was an under statement. She couldnt understand what had suddenly come over him until a thought came to her.
"Matt, do you have feelings for me?"she hopelessly asked.
"Yes." he said. One word with such finality.
"Oh thank God, I thought am the only one who felt it."
"Didn't you feel it from the change in our coupling. We started of as s*x and now we are making love. I pour my feeling for you in that very act where I feel like I can absorb you into me so that we never part."
"Ooh Matt, that was so romantic." she gushed.
"Dont get used to it that is as mushy as I can get." he embarrasly said.
"Are you blushing?"
"No, men don't blush." he grumpily replied.
Sammy couldn't help but breaking into laughter that had Matt pushing her to go clean up and dress before they left.
The drive to Samantha's home was quite yet warm. Samantha was lying on Matts shoulder as he played with her fingers. Matt's driver had never seen Matt treat any woman as he treats her. He made his decision then that Sammy was his number 2 in term of care and protection.
"Sir, we are here." he said. Despite their close relationship with Matt, when he was on the clock he called him sir.
"sweeting, we are here."
" How i wish I can spend a night with you." she said with a sigh.
"Tomorrow you will." he said confidently. He was glad that she wanted more time with him.
She looked at him pensively wondering why she was so sure about her company tomorrow. Well she guessed she will wait and see how he navigates her parents. Matt opened the door for her and escorted her to her door and kissed her goodnight. Samantha was still in the smitten state when her mother was opening the door for her.
"So how was your date?" she asked.
"Awesome mum, when am with him it's like time moves faster and when we are apart it feels like it drags on. I feel like we never get so much time together."
"Its that bad?"
"Whats bad?" Samantha asked confused.
"Your feelings for him. You are head over heels for him. I gotta ask but, I already have an inkling of his feelings from our talk today, is the feelings mutual?"
"Yes,mum it is. I could hear our heart beats beating in the same rhythm and there is something else he said, that made me believe he is also inlove with me."
"And what is that?"
"That dear mother,I can't tell you no matter how much I love you. It won't be proper."
"Does it have anything to do with you know what." her mother asked unbashed.
"Ohh mum....." she said as she ran upstairs to hide from embarrassment.
Sometimes she wishes her mum filters her thoughts with her or better yet leaves the embarrassing things unsaid. That night as Sammy was soundly sleeping dreaming of Matt, he was busy in his Library giving the shocked human resource an earful for not seeing potential in Samantha. He came close to losing his job but had to defend his stand by saying that Matt himself signed the HR policies on hiring and those are the guidelines they use. On the other end of the call Gilbert Duville the HR manager, was wondering since when did the CEO have interest in interns or their hiring process. From the way he was talking the rejected candidate was dear to him and he was not hiding that fact. His interest was piqued and he wanted to met the person responsible for their robot boss change. All they knew at work was that Matt is a workaholic, perfectionist and doesn't prefer a long company of any girl for long. He prefers exchanging them like the watches on his wrist. As his moods demands.
Hearing Matt bark his name on the other end is what pulled him out of his thoughts and focus on the directive Matt was giving.
"Ok sir, understood that will be done and email sent by tomorrow." Mr Duville replied.
"If you value you job, the letter better in her inbox in the next 10min." with that he cut off his line.
Mr. Duville was left mouth agape given that it was already past midnight. With a family depending on him and the lifestyle his salary provides, he couldn't risk angering Matt. He quickly typed the congratulatory letter and sent it to Samantha's inbox as well as an apology letter for the mix up. From his apology letter, he explained how his junior sent the wrong letter to her and how he is in a fix since the company urgently needed a publicist hence the late email. He also emphasised as per Matt directive that she should report the day after tomorrow. After he finished sending the email he wrote to Matt and told him he has sent both the acceptance and apology letter as per his instructions. He prayed to never get in his wrong side again. Rumour has it, once a person is fired from visions, you are blacklisted in the market and no top company's or company's that think they have potential of doing business with Matt will hire you, leaving only middle and start up companies as your best bet.
Matt saw the email pop on his phone screen and read it and closed with a smile. Now he will get to see her daily, the only thing he had to do is to tame his hormones down or well enough to do his job.
"It couldn't be that hard ,could it? I mean we have spouses who work together and they perform, right?" he asked himself loudly before he went to take a shower before sleeping.He couldn't wait to see Samantha's reaction about her new job plus the surprise on learning who he really was, though he kept dropping hints for her.
That night as any other night, Matts dreams were haunted only by Samantha.
