A Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 8: He’s Back

Cassandra Takahashi Watson’s Pov.

I waited in the airport for his arrival while checking some email on my phone. “Still working while waiting for me, huh.” I glanced up and saw him standing in front of me. I haven’t noticed him because I’m really busy replying to their emails. “OH, sorry. How’s your flight?” I asked after he gave me a kiss. “I’m fine. Let me drive.” “No, it’s fine. I know you are tired. Just relax there. Be my passenger prince.” He chuckled and gave me another kiss. “Okay, fine. Make me your passenger prince this time. This time only, okay, baby.” I laughed and hugged him. “Okay, okay. Fine.” I said annoyingly. I started the engine and drove the car. “Do you want to eat before heading to my place?” I asked without turning to him. “Whatever, as long as I'm with you.” "I love that idea." We continued talking while I was driving. I asked him about his life in Oklahoma. It seems like he's doing great there. I see.

I stopped the car in front of the restaurant that is owned by my brother. "Good morning, Ms. Watson and sir?." the security greeted us. Obviously they know me. "My boyfriend, Zachary." One of the girls led us to one of the special tables. "This way, ma'am." We followed her. I can't get off my gaze at one of the familiar guys who's standing beside us.

"Oh, ms. Watson. I never expected you to be here." Oh, s**t! Zachary faces me and gives me a who's-that-guy look. "You too, Mr. Hernandez." He said while smiling and offered me a kiss on my cheek. f**k! "This is my boyfriend, Zachary." I introduced him to Stephen. I can see from my peripheral vision that he was killing me from his appearance. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Zachary. I'm Stephen Hernandez." Stephen said formally as he offered him a handshake. I could see that Zachary hesitated at first. "Nice meeting you, Stephen. Btw, thank you for taking care of my girlfriend." He said, trying to be formal. "No worries. Can I join you?" he asked. Zachary looked at me. "Ah, yeah, sure." He pulled his chair and sat on my left while Zachary was in front of me.

This man is getting on my nerves. I f*****g want to punch him just to stay away from my girl. Didn't he see that I was here? Doesn't he see that I want to be alone with my girl?

After eating in a restaurant, I volunteer to drive the car heading to her place. We didn't talk to each other during the ride after leaving the restaurant.

"Are you okay?" she asked when I finally parked the car in her garage. "Never better." I said while getting my suitcase. She opened the door and I followed her. "Where should I stay?" I asked seriously. "In my room." "Okay.", with that, I headed into her room and put my suitcase at the side. I closed my eyes when she suddenly spoke. "Are you tired?" I didn't know that she there was following me. She is standing beside the door. I ignore her.

I decided to wake up now. I went downstairs, and she was nowhere to be found. I went to the kitchen to check if she was there but-. My phone suddenly rang. I pressed the button instantly when I saw her name. "Where are you?" I asked, "I'm in Watson's company right now. It won't take long. I'll be home in an hour." "Why? What happened?" I remember Stephen. f**k him! "My brother needs my help." "So, everything's done?" "Almost, luckily Mr. Hernandez help me." Asshole. I hung up the call without saying goodbye.

I instead went to the bathroom to take a warm shower. I got my silk satin pajamas and went to the living room. I grab a bottle of wine. I remember the calling card. I tried to dial it.

"Hey, honey." She said sweetly. "Hi. How's your New York?" "Not good without you in my bed." I laughed. "What are you doing right now? Are you at a party?" "I'm at the house of a friend of mine. Yeah, we have a party here. Worried about me, honey?" She said seductively. "Tss. Not that." I heard a car coming. "Gotta go." I said nervously. "Okay, honey." I smiled before ending the call.

"Have you eaten your dinner?" I ask when she enters. "No. I want to eat with you. Have you eaten your dinner?" She asks while walking toward me and gives me a kiss. "No." I gulp the wine. "You haven't eaten yet, you are drinking already?" "Mmm. You took so long I drank first." “Tss, stupid boyfriend.” She said and walked away, but before she could walk away from me, I grabbed her. “What did you say, my baby?” I kissed her neck, and she moaned when I bit her neck.

We are still lying in my comfortable bed. I can’t get off of his cuddle. I love him for being so close to me. This is our first time to be together in one place. I love the smell of his body. “I miss you so much, baby.” He whispers in my ears and kisses my hair. “I miss you too.” He pulled me closer to him until there was no distance between us.

I woke up when sunlight was hurting my eyes. When I look to the side where Zachary must be sleeping, it is nowhere. I got up to go down, but before I could get near him, I heard him talking to someone, so I paused for a while. “Oh, really….that’s funny. You shouldn’t…. It’s f*****g mine.” What did he mean? And he’s laughing. “Okay, okay… I won’t. It’s yours too. Don’t worry….so sweet.” I went down to ask him if he was talking too. “Okay…gotta go.” with that he hung up the call. He walked toward me and gave me a morning kiss. “Good morning, baby.” “Morning. Who are you talking to?” “Let’s get you a coffee.” He didn’t answer my question. The hell? “I’m asking you. Who are you talking to?” I gave him a warning look. “Okay, fine,” he said while putting his hand up like he’s surrendering. “I’m talking to… Steven.” “Are you really talking to Steven?” Something’s odd. “Are you doubting me?” He said seriously while looking at me directly. “No, it’s not that I’m doubting you.” “Then, what’s your point?” “Oh, come on, Zachary. Are we going to fight just because of this call?” He didn’t answer me, instead he walked away from me.

It’s been 3 weeks since I came back here to California. Last week I visited my family so they won’t doubt me. I went there alone because Cassandra was getting busy with her work in their company, especially because they were going to lunch in another industry.

I’m going back to her house right now after the long trip that I had in Japan. My cousin invited me to his wedding, especially since my parents didn’t want to travel that far, so I went there alone. I’m f*****g exhausted. I just want to sleep. When the cab pulled off in front of her house, I instantly grabbed my suitcase and got inside of her house. I go straight to the couch and lie down when my phone rings. I’m supposed to ignore it when I see the caller. I sat down, pressed from lying down and pressed the button.

“Hey, honey.” She said seductively. “Hey.” “Where have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you, but I can’t.” “Oh, sorry, honey. I went to Japan for my cousin’s wedding. I don't feel that you are calling.” “Well, fine. When are you going to come back here? I miss you so much. I want to feel you once again. I want to touch you.” “Next week. I’ll be back.” “Good honey. I’m on.” she said “What makes you turn on?” “You.” “Oh, honey. Excellent answer.” I said, trying to be sweet. “I have to rest, honey.” “Okay. I hope you will dream about me touching you and making you come inside me.” I laughed. “Tss. Yeah, fine. I hope so.” I hung up the call and turned off my phone first, and I returned to lying down on the couch.

I woke up when I felt Cassandra sitting beside me. “Welcome home, baby.” “Thanks.” “Don’t you miss me?” “I miss you.” I said, trying not to ruin the moment. I leaned to kiss her cheek. “I miss you so f*****g hard.” she chuckled. “Do you want to grab food first?” she asked. “Why don’t we just order something and enjoy this moment? I’ll be leaving next week and I will miss you.” “Oh, baby. Don’t be like that.” “Come here.” I said while pointing to her to sit in my lap. She opens her phone and orders something. I play with her ear, and she moans as I kiss it and lick it.

We shared the phone that she ordered. I didn't let her sit in a chair. I pinned her in my lap so she couldn't leave. She’s feeding me, and I'm intentionally licking her hands. “Are you trying to seduce me?” she asked frustratingly. “Am I?” I asked while squeezing her hips. “Why don’t we eat first?” “I’m insatiable with the food that you are feeding me. I want something that can satisfy my hunger.” “You’ve got to be kidding me.” She laughed. “No I am not.” She set aside the food and faced me. The next thing I knew, we’re kissing.
