Love Bombing

Struggling to go home… with flat tires & lost wallet

It's already 5:30 pm, tired and hungry so she thought of leaving the office on time. She took her purse from the bottom drawer and left the office after turning off her Computer. Walking out of the building towards her car, she fishes the key holder inside her purse but couldn't find it, worst her wallet was missing too. Reaching her car seeing the front tire's flat makes her even more upset. What the f**k .... Who is playing a joke on me now? She thought to herself.

Not far away, the confident Joshua enjoys watching the Woman who he find so cute even when she's upset. I'll wait 5 more minutes, I am sure you're going to call me for help. Then he saw her on the phone, thinking that she's to call him but his phone remains quiet. Oh boy, she must be calling her best friend! He quickly starts his engine and drive to where she was park. No no you're not going to call your best friend, I did all these trick so I can be with you, not letting someone else fills my spot he said to himself.

Meanwhile, the upset Woman became more upset when she can't reach her best friend when a familiar sports car stops in front of her. Joshua Elliot, her pretending lover step out of his car innocently smiling at her.

"Flat tire? He asked

"Isn't it obvious" She replied back annoyed with the question forgetting that she's talking to her Boss.

"Didn't thought of going home by Cab? He asked

"My key holder and wallet are both missing, then with a consolation prize of deflated tire. So please tell me how to take a cab?" She replied sarcastically.

"Okay cool down honey, I'll take you home" He said reaching her arms and putting her in the passenger seat of his car.

"Oh yeah! You have my spare key for the house, right? She said with a hope in her eyes tagging his sleeves

"Sadly No! I left it this morning in your flat" He said

"Oh well, can you just please drop me off to my place. I am sure the care taker of the building can do something, I will also call him now" She said

Maria called the care taker several times but not inaccessible.

"Okay, let's have our dinner first. I am sure you are already hungry. I was told by Parents that you cooked breakfast for us while you didn't have yours." He said with a concern look on his face

"That's okay; I am not really hungry this morning" She replied at him

Joshua took her to Lemon grass restaurant a Thai restaurant to have dinner.

"So where are my packages in the guest room?" She asked remembering the boxes.

"I sent it already to your Family" He replied avoiding her gaze "Good thing you had written your address on the boxes already" he added

"What? How come? Why? I haven't completed it yet, you know! You're so annoying for doing that" She said to him while putting her spoon and fork down

"What else are missing in your box apart from the clothes you let me used?" He asked putting his cutleries down and staring straight at her

"That's it and some chocolates that my nephews and nieces requested" She answered him

"Well let's see if I can remember what I bought to put in your package...uhhhm a 2-storey house, an SUV, a bus. So yeah that's about it, what's annoying there?" He replied to her sarcastically while he's enjoying his Pad Thai.

"Funny" She replied pinching the side of his lips.

"Ouch! Anyways, I just replaced the clothes you let me wore and bought few chocolates. Here try this Pla Goong" He replied to her putting more foods on her plate.

"Also, what are you doing in the Company a while ago? I thought you went home?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"I was about to fetch something in my office , I can get it tomorrow but since I am already out driving so I just went back in the office again" He replied to her.

"You could have just called me to take whatever you need in your office, so I can drop it to your place" She replied to him.

"How would you drop something to my place when  you have flat tire  ?" Joshua makes fun of her "Well, aren't you glad I came back? Or else who would you ask for help to take you home? He asked her

She just sneered at him not really buying his reasoning but let it go. After all, she's glad he's there to help him. After dinner, they went to Pearl Tower and went to the care takers room. Joshua knocks but no respond. He knocked several times but did not get any respond.

"I tried calling him but his phone's no longer in service" She said to Joshua while yawning

"How about sleeping over to my place, you seem tired. Then, I'll drop you first thing in the morning here so you can change. Maybe that time we can get a hold of the care taker. Leave him a message too." He suggested

"Hmmnnn...let me call my best friend first. Maybe I can sleep in his place" She said

Then to her surprise her phone was snatch by him "Don't bother your best friend at this hour. What is one night? I am not going to r**e you anyways. It seems I should be the one worried not you." He said to her

Maria looks at her and remembers the image that he sent earlier. She then gave him a punch in his arm. Joshua took her hand and led her to his car and they drove off to his place, on their way home Maria dozes off. Joshua glances at her and smiles, my plan work he thought to himself. He parked in front of an expensive woman's lingerie shop; and quickly left his car locking the door with his remote key ensuring Maria's safety. As he already made a call to the owner who is a friend to his Sister, the item was already ready for pickup. Upon receiving the item in a stylish package he quickly paid and left the shop in a hurry and drove off .They finally reach his building and wakes her up.

"Hey, honey wake up or shall I carry you in the penthouse" He whispers in her ear.

"Huh, no I'll walk" She replied

Inside his pent house, he gave the package to her "Here are your nighties. If you want to have a shower use the bathroom in my bedroom and I have a spare toothbrush in the medicine cabinet, you can have it." He said to her pointing at the bedroom. Not paying attention when he said 'his bedroom' as she's way too sleepy. Later on, he checked on her and saw her lying in bed already asleep he went beside her and gave her a kiss on her hair which he noticed is still damp. Then he remembers something about her migraine, Oh no! It's not good for her to sleep like this otherwise her migraine will trigger. He thought to himself. Good thing Chloe has kept some of her belongings in his place in case she stays over, so he grabbed the blower that was kept in the dresser in the guest room and dries her. He's not surprise if the noise coming from the blower doesn't disturb her sleep, as running your finger in her hair makes her even sleepier. What a baby! He thought. After he was sure that her hair was dry enough, he went for a shower and when he came back the quilt was almost on the floor revealing the sexy nighties she's wearing, she must have kick the quilt off from her. ' Damn those long sexy legs" he thought quietly. I have to adjust the temperature as she must be feeling warm here or not as he surely enjoys the sight in front of him he thought to himself. In the end he still lowers the thermostat of the Central AC and pulls the quilt over them.
