1245 Words
Early the next morning, Jonathan was the first person to wake up. When he smelt her strawberry scent early in the morning, his mood was elated. 'How do those married people feel when they wake up with their beloved in their arms?' he couldn't help but ask hiself this question as he kissed her on the nose, cheeks, eyebrows and down to her lips. He liked the feeling of waking up with her in his arms. He could do anything just to make sure that she stays by his side. Cindy who was enjoying the source of warmth in her sleep couldn't help but furrow her brows in displeasure as that source of warmth kept moving. "So warm, stop moving around," she said sleepily. Jonathan who heard what she said couldn't help but chuckle at her. He touched her furrowed eyebrows and she stopped frowning. He then snuggled her closer to his embrace as he hugged her waist gently like a precious treasure so she could sleep for a while while he gazed at her blue ceiling. Cindy who was suddenly hugged by a broad chest opened her eyes. What met her was a handsome man with a flawless skin. She thought she was dreaming and couldn't help but raise her hands to touch his handsome face. "Why is there a handsome man in my dream? I don't want to wake up. This dream is so beautiful." She talked to herself groggily. Jonathan let her touch his face as he could see that she still hadn't woken up fully. Wait! Why is it that she can feel his face in her dreams. She decided to check if this was really a dream. She raised her head and bit his lip. 'Hiss,' Jonathan couldn't help but hiss in pain as she looked at the woman who was now looking at him with wide eyes. Cindy was surprised when she heard the hiss and the hand around her waist tightened. "Princess, why are you buying me this early morning?" He asked feigning being hurt. He was so adorable that Cindy pinched his cheeks again and she heard him hiss. "Jonathan?" The second hiss brought Cindy out of her dreamland. That's when she remembered what happened the other day and that Jonathan had insisted on sleeping at her place but when she woke up she thought she was dreaming. "Hmm, good morning sweetheart," he kissed her gently on the lips with his broken lip. Cindy felt guilty and even though she wanted to dodge the kiss because she hadn't washed up, she let him just kiss her. "Sorry," she said as she bowed her head in guilt. "It's okay, I'm glad you find me handsome even in your dreams. I'm now sure I'm the man of your dreams," he teased . 'So shameless in the morning.' She was sure that sleeping with Jonathan beside was one of the best sleeps she had ever had. The last time she was drunk so she didn't think much about it, but this time she was sober. They then got out of the bed to prepare for work. Jonathan's driver had delivered his clothes early the next morning and they left for work together from Cindy's apartment. Work was busy as usual as they had a little bit of too much to do. Jonathan had a lunch appointment with one of his business partners do Cindy had to eat at the cafeteria that day since he wasn't around. She was seated again with the two love birds who kept on feeding and kissing each other. The employees at Black Enterprises were not restrictef of having relationship among themselves. As long as the company was aware and they didn't keep it a secret they were good to go. Violet and Tyson had the freedom for public display of affection. "So Cin, how was your date with boss?" Violet was so excited that she almost shouted in happiness. "Babe, keep your voice down. What if the other employees heard you and started gossiping?" Tyson couldn't help but reprimand her. "Oooops," Violet only giggled cheekily. "Well, it was awesome and he asked me to be his girlfriend," Cindy then told them how her date with Jonathan had gone. But she left out the parts about him spending the night in her house and also what happened early in the morning when they woke up. "So did you say yes?" Tyson was the first person to ask this question. Violet put her elbows on the table as she put her chin on her palms. She was really anticipating Cindy's reply. Cindy saw Violet's moves and was amused at her friend's gossip behaviors. She was so cute when in her gossip mode. "Yes, I said yes," she replied while her face turned crimson. "And the cherry, was it popped?" She teased but from the look on her friends place, her cherry was still intact. Cindy only smiled and didn't reply her question, she knew Violet was teasing her. They congratulated her together. Finally she found a boyfriend. She didn't have to be fed with PDA by this two anymore. Although Jonathan wasn't always around her with her friends, she could just shamelessly go to him and redeem her crying heart if the two dared. She couldn't help but giggle at her cheeky thoughts. How would he behave if he was suddenly attacked by her with kisses because of Violet's and Tyson's PDA? It would be an hilarious scene. Jonathan who still discussing some issues with his business partner over lunch suddenly felt chill down his spine as his heart raced uncontrollably. He placed his hand on his chest as he wondered, 'What is the little woman doing?' He knew definitely that whatever happened had to do with his woman. No one has never made him feel that way. "Mr Black, are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?" His business partner who noticed his actions couldn't help bus ask worriedly. "No, I'm alright. Someone is just thinking about me and planning something mischievous behind my back," he replied with a gentle smile on his face. His business partner who saw the smile on his stoic face for the first time since they started working together was surprised. Was this the Mr Black that he knew? No no, he must be having some illusion. He probed further, "Is it your girlfriend?" He thought Jonathan wouldn't reply to his question but was surprised at his next word. "Yes, my girlfriend and future wife," he seemed to be in a good mood when he thought of the little woman he had hugged to sleep last night. His business partner almost dropped from his chair. Love could move mountains indeed, even the cold Jonathan Black seemed to be in love. "She must be a great woman to have you so whipped," he grew brazen himself. "She is. No one can compare to her in the whole world," he didn't mind talking about his woman. "I wonder if I'll be able to meet this wonderful woman who touched your heart," he was only testing waters but Jonathan still agreed. "Sure, we'll be attending the charity gala with her. I'll introduce her to you then. They then continued with their meeting but he suddenly missed his woman. When lunch break was over, everyone went back to their offices to continue with work. Soon, it was the day of the charity gala.
