Lust Or Love

Chapter Six

*Mr Gilbert*

At that very moment, I felt like pulling her towards myself and just allowing my body to take in all of her. The warmth of her hand made me just want to have a little more of her. One would have felt that realizing that she is the daughter to my best friend would create a repellant energy and aura between both of us. But it didn't. I could not control my thoughts when I imagined her and I can't control them even now that she is before me. Little did I know that I had held her hand for quite a while now and had soon begun to send off a wrong message.

“Oh s**t,” I screamed after I got a hold of myself.

“So Lillian, this is your uncle Gilbert” he said to her.

“Just call me Gilbert,” I said.

“No no now, we don't do that in our family” Collins said. “shut the f**k up man” I said to Collins with a smile on my face.

“Actually she just finished her studies overseas and is here for her internship programme” Collins said.

“Well that's nice” I replied.

“How long has it been since you returned?” I asked Lillian, trying to strike up a conversation with her.

“Only a few days sir,” she replied.

“Well, you are welcome to our humble abode” I said to her with my arms spread apart.

“I love you” I blurted out.

“Huh?” She replied.

“I mean I love to see youth who are ready to make something of themselves. They are rare to find, you know?” I said in my defense with my heart now racing.

“Thank you sir” she replied with an even brighter smile on her face. I felt a bit relieved knowing that I had not blown my cover.

“I'll leave you both to catch up a bit” I said and began heading towards my office with as much speed as I could gather. On realizing that I was no longer in sight, I began to run and barged into my office. I met the lady from earlier still in my office.

“Get out!” I yelled pointing at the direction of the door. “And shut the door behind you” I added.

How could so many things all happen in one day? With both my hands on my head and me pacing round my office, a lot of thoughts ravaged my mind. Each and everyone of these thoughts seemed hazy. I found it difficult to focus on even one of them. On one hand was Celine and her unknown mysterious plan and on the other hand were Mr Usman, Lillian and even Collins. It seemed like my head was about to explode. With all the tension within me, I ran into the toilet in my office and shut the door behind me. I turned on the tap in the sink and began to wash my face. It seemed like nothing was working at the moment. All my attempts to try and cool down all went down the drain.

Without giving it a thought, I poured a little bit of the liquid soap that was on my sink in my hand and took off my belt and zip in a rush. I sat down on the seat of my water closet and started working on my p***s. I was finally able to center my thoughts on just Lillian alone. As I thrust on my p***s, I imagined the warmth and softness of her hand on it. This was not one of those moments that I m*********d for the fun of it. I just wanted to calm down so I went as fast as I could on the hand jobs. Within a few minutes, I was already approaching my climax and was about to c*m.

And boom, I exploded, lashing out a load of semen all over my thigh. I began to paint heavily and gradually began to calm down. I sat on that seat for quite a while just looking at the ceiling. I was interrupted from my thought process when I heard Collins call my name. At this moment, I was already a bit calm. I refused to answer Collins at first but I later gave in when he began to seem persistent.

“I'll be out in a minute!” I echoed from within the toilet. I took out time to clean myself and clean the mess I had created, then I flushed the toilet and stepped out of the toilet.

“How did it go in there man?” Collins asked.

I just smirked as I didn't have an answer to give to him.

“Well I thought about what you said Celine said to you and I think you may be right” Collins said.

“You think?” I asked him

“Yeah, but I also think that she is still trying to get under your skin. I believe that is part of her plan, you see?” He asked.

“I don't get it,” I replied.

“Ok, look at it this way, she may be onto something with the way she is acting, but I also think that part of her plan is to throw you off balance” he said.

“So you are saying she trying to get into my head could be part of her plan?” I asked.

“Yeah man” he replied.

“Why don't you just throw her out of your house already?” Collins asked.

“I can't,” I replied.

“Why?” He asked.

“Firstly I am not that kind of a man; secondly I don't have adequate reasons to do so and lastly, I do not want any troubles in court. I am going through a divorce remember?” I said to him,

“Well it's your funeral. In other words, it's your life bro. You know sometimes you don't always have to play by the rules” he said in a rather convincing manner.

“I swear to God that I don't understand a word you just said, but it's cool though” I replied to him. We both laughed after this statement.

“Well about Lillian,” he said, breaking the laughter.

These words sent chills down my spine. I don't know if it is the fear of being caught having a liking for my friend's daughter or just the mere mention of her name that made me shiver. “Yeah, what about her?” I questioned.

“You know I told you she just rounded up her studies and is back in the country seeking a good place for her internship?” He said.

“Yep, I remember,” I replied him.

“Well, I was thinking that It would be a good idea for her to do it in our company”

“Before you say anything,” he interrupted me as I attempted to speak.

“I just think that this would be the perfect place for her to get her internship experience and it would help her set high standards in her resume if she intends to get a job in the nearest future” he said in his defense.

“If you'd just let me finish, you will know that I have no problem with her working for this company. You can put her in any department of your choice you see” I said to him.

“Thank you so much bro,” Collins said.

I felt like I should be the one thanking him. He had just given me a reason to want to leave home and come to the office everyday. “Don't mention bro, you are ever welcome” I said to him.

“Well there is another slight hiccup you see” he said again.

“What could it be this time?” I blurted out as I crashed into my chair and crossed both my legs on my table.

“I don't know how this would be possible, but I would love her to somehow work directly under you” he said. I just lifted up my eyebrows in shock. I could not find the right words to reply to him with.

Is this dude trying to mess with my head or something?

“Look I know it's a lot to ask, but I am just trying to secure a future for my daughter” he said.

“I know you would be asking why I did not bring her to work with me but it would seem odd if on her resume, it says that she did her internship with her dad. That would only make her look like one of those privileged folks out there” he said.

“Actually she is privileged. I mean how many people's dad's get to run a company that is worth millions in dollars come one” I said with a smile on my face.

“Ok look, my point is that I am just a shareholder. And like every other share older, I am insignificant when the name of the CEO is mentioned” he said before I interrupted him saying “don't you say such stupid things my friend”

“Ok my point is that it would be a great achievement for her if on her resume is your name written you see?” he said

“Why would you want her to get a job elsewhere when you have made a life of your own here?” I asked him.

“Like you said, this is my own life and I would want her to get a life of her own you see?” He replied.

“Ok I get what you are trying to say” I said in an attempt to interrupt him and stop him from talking.

“Although I don't think there is any vacancy for an intern on my end, I'll see what I can do about it” I said trying to be civilized.

What the f**k am I doing? This is my opportunity to get even closer to Lillian and I am here trying to blow it away. I was about to retract my words but I realized that it would make me seem a bit desperate so I withheld myself. Here I am trying to keep my steeze in check when the opportunity of a lifetime is on the line.
