The L Word (Lust or Love)

Chapter Twelve

Siara furiously typing in her laptop since morning because a lot of documents she had to made and emails she must replied. Being a personal assistant to a CEO was suck but the pay was worth. She hate so many work she had to finished it on lunch time, but her boss know not to pushed her as well. Nick knows well that Siara already helped him so much. He could bet, no one would compared to her, or that what he thought because his feeling for her was growed so much more.

She groaned when she suddenly remembered her conversation with Andrew on his car a week ago. He stated obviously that he was turn on by her just heard Jonathan's story about their s*x. Siara stunned when she heard that, couldn't made a comment about it. After he told her that, both of them doesn't talk anymore until they reached Siara's apartment building. Andrew doesn't say it was just a joke nor he apologized about it. He just simply told her the truth about his arousal to her. She wonder what would happened if Jonathan knows about it. Just thought about that made her face flushed with embarrassment. Even though it was happened a week ago, she never forgot this humiliating moment with Andrew. Siara really needed to forgot it as tonight she would met him and Jonathan again on aircraft launching party of Brentley Co. As the latest partner, Xavier Enterprise was given a VVIP invitation, which Nick and Siara themselves who would be escort and serve them on the event.

Why on earth Jonathan told Andrew about their s*x? She thought to herself.

What's on his mind?

"Siara?"

Her head jerked up to the voice who called her and instantly her eyes met with Nick's blue one. His eyes was beautiful but not mesmerized her enough like Jonathan's jade eyes. She always melted through Jonathan's gaze. His gaze was so deep and intense. No man ever looked at her like Jonathan did.

"Um, yes?" She replied.

"What happened with your face?" He asked, felt concern.

Her eyebrows furrowed, "What happened with it?"

"It's all.... red." He paused for a second, "You're not thinking or saw something dirty right?"

Heat of embarrassment began to crack up to her fair skin. Color of red as tomato was visible now. Just one look and Nick knows it. His lips twitched into smirk. He was definitely smirked for teased her.

"Nick!!" She whined. Siara covered her face with her hands.

Nick laughed hard as he saw her reaction, he love to saw Siara blushed because of him. He thought how innocent she was when she blushing. "Clearly, you have a dirty mind, Siara."

"I do not!" She exclaimed. Her face turn into a scowl with her pouty lips.

Fuck! Nick swore from his mind. His aroused began to build while he looked at Siara with her pouty lips. He always dreamt of kissing her till she couldn't take it anymore. Took her in his embrace and never let it go. With her perky ass, round breast, she surely could made happy any man in bed. But for this two years he kept it professional. He never got the chance to told her how much he like her. Sure there was a lust he felt for her, but something inside his heart trigger him that he just not only lust her, also he like her. But insecurities got the best of him. To remain kept close to her, he chose this way. He chose to torture his feeling and his appetite to take her with him, not when he still has two beautiful children he must taken care of.

Nick clears his throat, "Okay, okay, I'm going to stop teasing you. Are the preparation done with tonight's event?"

"Yeah," She nodded her head, "I just check it with them. Also all our employees will be taking home early for this event just like you order too."

"Okay, you go home too and get ready for tonight."

"My works not done yet, Nick. It's okay, I will go as soon as I'm finish."

Nick shot up one of his eyebrow, "You trying to disobey your boss?"

She sighed, "No, but it's my-"

"It's okay, Siara." He smiled sweetly to her, "Just leave those emails. We have an important thing tonight and only you who can handle so much in your palm."

"You know flattery won't get you anywhere, right?" She cast a playful grin.

He laughed a little, "At least I try, right? Just get ready okay? I want you to look beautiful by my side. And I will pick you up at four, don't argue."

Siara know her boss well. Any praised he gave to her was always the truth. It was reflected in his eyes. She casted a smile, felt happy had Nick as her boss, kind and playful man.

"Your wish is my command, boss."

Nick chuckled by her comment but he chose not to replied it. Instead he just left her in her work room as she rose from her seat to got ready for went home. After she cleaned up her desk, she walked out from the building to her apartment. As she got home, she frowned when she saw a box in front of her apartment door. She doesn't remembered ordering anything. Siara stand in front of the box. The box was wrap up in silver cover. She picked it up and brought it with her inside. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest. She doesn't know this surprise. Then she opened it and gasped.

There was a long silver dress in it. She took it out from the box and looked at it more closely. The dress was one shoulder and backless also made with mermaid model underneath. It was so sexy and yet elegant too. There was also silver heels matching with the dress. She tried the dress carefully as she don't wanted to damage it. It fitted perfectly in her curvy body, like the dress was only made for her body.

She came back to the box and looked for some clue who the hell send her this gorgeous dress. There was a little envelope in the box that she hurriedly open it.

After she read it, Siara couldn't help but to smile wide it hurt her cheeks. The man was never failed to surprised her. He always thought about her just as much as she to him. She never really gave him something but from right now she definitely thought about it. It was the time for her to returned the favor to him. The man was not asked her to wear the dress, it was his order. His order that she really love to obeyed.

-*****-

"You looked beautiful tonight."

Siara looked to her boss beside her. They were now in Nick's grand hall office building. The event was held in there with five prototype of his new aircraft. The guests was already came in as the event would be started in fifteen minutes when the clock strike seven past thirty. Siara smiled to Nick, happy with his compliment.

"I never get the chance to say it first when I came to pick you. I'm just... too stunned I guess." He smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay, Nick, you're not bad yourself." She replied back.

"Just not bad?" There's a smug smile in Nick's face.

"Oh, you know it well don't you."

"So.... where did you bought the dress?" Nick asked.

Siara blushed a little, "Oh... I'm not bought it."

"Then?"

"Mr. Xavier gave it to me."

His body tensed up. He never thought his personal assistant's acquaintance with Jonathan Xavier would be that close. He bought her a perfect dress for God sake! Something he could do but he doesn't do it. His jaw clenched. His fingers was curled up into fist. Anger and jealousy started to rose in his chest.

"Oh, Mr. Xavier and Mr. Grey is here." Siara walked up first to greeted both man she know.

Now, Nick was seeing red.
