Adventurous Love

Chapter 19

Clarissa's pov.

I heard a loud voice in my subconscious and it startled me awake. Trying to get a bearing of my surroundings, is squinted my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room.

Where the hell am I?

It was then I remembered the events of the day. Damien barging out, abandoning the well made breakfast as a result of an urgent call, coming here with his lunch, the unexpected arrival of my period, telling him to rub circles on my stomach.

Did I actually tell him to do that???

Oh my God!

I guess that's what my period does to me, makes me unusually frisky.

I sat up and arranged the bed properly.

When I went out to the office,I saw Damien on the phone talking to someone loudly. He was obviously angry. He looked feral and it sent chills down my bones.

I quickly escaped to the toilet before he noticed me because he was facing the window. After cleaning up and arranging myself properly, I made my way out.

He was already done with the call and sitted at the chair in front of his desk. He looked wary and more dishelved than I met him earlier today.

Speaking of day, what the hell is the time?

It was then I noticed the draped cottons but peaking through, you would see darkness crawling in.

I slept for that long?

I slowly walked towards him while he studied me with that cold eyes of his.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yh... I'm thanks. I'm sorry for the bother."

"It's nothing. It's my duty as a doctor to care for people."

I felt a tugging in my heart at that statement. Did I expect to him to exceptionally care for me?

What in the cosmos is wrong with me?

He cleared his throat. "You wouldn't be able to go back home alone this night in your condition."

I felt annoyed. "My condition?? I'm perfectly fine."

He gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Remember you're my employee now and my responsibility. Get your s**t together and let's go to my apartment. "

I stood still. Who the hell is he to command me like that? I'm not going anywhere

He walked and stood in front of me. "You have no choice little Ariel."

The scent of his cologne wafted over me and made to entrance me. He looked so sexy in his rough state. I shook my head at my illicit thoughts. I poked my hand at his chest.

"You have no right to command me like that." I enunciated each word with a poking.

I expected a retaliation but what came next surprised me. He took me up and threw me over his shoulders while working to the door. I started squealing.

"Put me down you brute." He chuckled and tapped my behind.

The nerve of this abominable quite sexy man. While passing through the hospital I realised we were probably the only ones remaining except the security man.

He should have woken me up sooner.

When we got to the car, he placed me in the passengers front seat and strapped me in with the seatbelt. I questioned him about my belongings and his lunch flask and he bluntly said it will be delivered on the morrows morning.

The ride was filled with a kinda strained tension until he broke it.

"I'm sorry for earlier this morning. I had an emergency that needed my immediate attention. If you want I'll make it up to you. Let me treat you to dinner this night."

I just kept silent and ignored him however my stomach decided to embarrass me and do the talking. It rumbled. I felt like disappearing. Just how many times will I embarrass myself today?

We went to a upscale restaurant in a secluded spot. Jordan never brought me here. The place was cozy and brought a homey feeling to me. He went straight to a secluded spot and sat down while I followed suit.

I immediately bombarded him with questions.

"I thought you're very peculiar about ur taste of food?" I demanded mockingly

He chuckled. "Very curious one now. Aren't you? I discovered this place recently. My Chinese cook that's on vacation directed me here and their food aligns with me well."

"Then why do you still need my services?

"I can't possibly be coming here everytime. Can I?"

I reasoned it. It's true. The stress and distance. Moreover I'm happy I can keep my job with the pay involved.

"Hmm... OK."

A small boy of about 15yrs came with the menu and Damien placed our orders. I gave him the freedom to place mine.

He ordered a lobster with vanilla sauce, a chocolate cheese ,saucy pasta and a full roasted chicken.

My mouth watered when I looked at it.

I immediately got to devouring it without minding him. Halfway through, I looked up and was stunned that he was watching me with an amused look.

"Do you always eat like that?"

I snorted. "Not really. Blame it on my period." My eyes widened when I realized what I just said.

"I'm mmm  sorry. I didn't mean to."

That was just goddamn insensible

"It's okay."

After we finished and waited for dessert, I decided to start up a conversation.

"Thanks for today."

"No probs."

"How are you a doctor?"

He stiffened and his expression changed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. I'm just curious how a business mogul billionaire got to be a doctor."

He offered me a strained smile. "Let's just say it's a passion of mine."

I was confused. "Then why don't let the world know?" Cause I was pretty sure this news have not leaked out

He glared at me. "That's my business. Then he stood up abruptly. What are you? A journalist?"

I stiffened and stood up too. "I'm not a journalist, as of now. I cringed. I'm merely curious." 

That ended our dinner as we made our way to his car. The ride to his house was even more tense. What the heck is his problem?

I decided to surprise you'll with an early update.

Love you'll

Mwah.
