INTREPID

IN HIS ARMS

Zoe's POV

The day went by so fast,Mike and I went around the house it has an amazing landscape and a beautiful rose garden.We talked a little last night and we both fell asleep and I don't know the time he left.I accepted to spending the remaining days of the break here because I could see that he wants to spend time with his parents.Even if he said we will go back to school if I wanted,I wouldn't do that to him.He invited me to his home and they shared the most intimate part of their lives with me, I am so grateful considering I am just a stranger, means so much to me.

We are having lunch at his favourite restaurant near his house,I can't believe he told them to prepare my favourite,chicken and vegetable stir fry with rice.I thought I was a good cook but I am humbled to day,this food is amazing.I will eat all of it,I do not care who I am with,I will put on the lady face on when I am done with this food.

We ended the day with a movie in Emily's room. He wanted us to watch some action movies, so I made him watch a movie called Purple Heart.Who would have known that Mike could watch this movie and love it? I know he loves it because he asked if we could watch again after our final exams.

After the movie, we went down stares, his mum called us for dinner.We talked about a lot of stories with his parents , Mike and I shared our future plans after graduation.After dinner,Mike asked if he could talk to his parents,I wanted to leave them but he said it's okey if I stay, I stayed even if I felt like I was intruding way too much.Mum, Dad there is something I haven't told you,Mike's mum,screamed is Zoe having your baby?no mum,why would you think that? she held her chest to calm herself down. Instead of me being embarrassed, I laughed at her reaction.I couldn't help it when she continued to tell him that if he has a baby,he or she will call her aunt not grandmother because she is too young for it.Mum calm down,there's no baby,Mike assured her.

He continued, "Do you know the company called MK Tech?" His dad agreed that he has heard of it.It is a growing company that focuses on software programming. They became famous last year after developing a game called wonderland.I know the company Mike is talking about,I even wanted to intern there.Mike continued,the MK stand for Mike and Kayla, your names, it's actually my company.I started it in second year when I rented a place and made it an Internet cafe,then I started doing small programming jobs and started employing other people.You mean to say you have a lot of money and we don't know about it?his mum asked.I think his dad is still as shocked as I am.

I thought of Mk,since dad and I have the same name and I added mum,so it's like the three of us in two letters.Mike you told me you are a freelancer,I didn't know you are running a big company.How do you run it son? I have someone running it on my behalf and reporting to me ,I will takeover as CEO after graduation.I have been thinking of opening another branch here, but I have to check our finances first.I have no words,the way he is talking about owning a big company as if its nothing.He balances that with school and still be among highest GPA students in school.And here I thought I was smart, Mike has just become more attractive to me,I can't even imagine.

After an hour of him talking about his company with his dad,we went to our separate rooms to sleep.Before I could sleep I googled MK Tech,I was curious and for real the owner is not known.Then I Google the game wonderland,it made a lot of money last year and it is still making money, the developers are still developing it and adding new features which makes the users to continue using it.

I was about to sleep when I heard a knock on the door,I opened and it was Mike.Hey zo,I need to talk to you.I let him in,he looks bothered.I planned to tell you this the whole day but the timing was not right but I can't sleep.The thing is I have been in love with you from the first time we met and I would like to date you.will you be my girl?

I felt like the ground was spinning. Did he just ask me to be his girl? my mind is saying no, but my heart is screaming yes.Mike I want that too more than you can imagine, but you and I are from different worlds.you are rich, I am poor.what does that have

to do with what we feel for each other zo?I wanted you to hear that I have a company to assure you that I will take care of you, not to intimidate you.I am the same person you know?nothing has changed,so please be mine? who would say no to that.So I accepted to be his girl ,no matter what, may come our way,I am willing to go through anything as long as it's with him.

He didn't go back to his room instead he asked if he could kiss his girlfriend and I allowed it.We kissed for a long time,then in my mind I was asking myself, is this how Jane Austin felt? when she wrote that; every heart hears a song incomplete until another heart whispers back; I think Mike completes my song." His masculine scent is intoxicating, he continued to kiss me slowly and made me shake with excitement , then a moan escaped my lips.He touched me,my fingers trembled and the palms of my hands sweated.I am trying to breath but it seems impossible. A mixture of fear and excitement runs through my body,I've never felt anything like this before.What is he doing to me? I should have stopped him, but I couldn't rein in my concupiscence and control my secual cravings.I haven't been this close to a man, but I do not hate it.

Things started getting serious as we were kissing. I pushed him away,after a second I pulled him close.If you asked me, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was doing it anyway.Mike suddenly stopped and looked at me with those eyes that mesmerises me all the time,but this time I could see his desire through his eyes.It made me weak like a child,I was hopeless there is no way I could have been saved.He kept looking at me and said Zo, can I ××× before he could finish,I found myself agreeing to whatever the hell he was saying.I was ready to do anything with him,did I know what I was doing? definitely not.

Mike made love to me the whole night and cuddled me to sleep.Is this how it feels to sleep in the arms of your lover? My mind could not allow be to fall asleep.What made the night more magical,was the sound of rain.The rain was falling and producing a magical sound and it was speaking the language I have never heard it before and I love rain but tonight ,its extra special.It felt strangely good, I wished for the morning not to come.I gave Mike my first time on a rainy night,I have given him all of me, like a fool.I couldn't help having mixed feelings in the morning. Not that I regret it,but I feel strange.

Zo! Mike called,I didn't even see that he was awake.What about your parents,did they hear us?I don't know, they want a grand child anyway,that's not funny, Mike.He smiled , I'm just joking. I couldn't go back to my room I knew that you would have a face like that when you wake up,I wanted to be here.we just made love Zo its a big deal and I know it was your first time, so thank you for trusting me.I will do my best in this relationship because I love you, Zo.I blashed like a fool when he said, he loves me.I hope this man can make me happy.
