Chapter Twenty Three

Paige

“Its in there! Shut your mouth and search that damn watch with your eyes! Don’t piss me off, Wallace!” I hissed. It’s a rainy Saturday morning. Wallace is losing his mind searching for his Rolex watch. It’s only seven o’clock in the morning and we’re already shouting to each other. 

“Damn! Babe, help me here!” 

We got drunk last night. We got wild last night. Our clothes are all over the place. My heels, our accessories are all over his room. That’s why we are having a hard time looking for his watch because we cannot remember where he left it. Dang, even my favourite necklace is nowhere to be found. 

“Help? I’m looking for my necklace too you dumbass f*****g i***t!” 

My mom will kill if I lost that damn necklace. That’s her gift for my birthday and that’s the only jewellery I wear aside from my watch and bracelet. 

Wallace walked out the closet holding something on his palm. “This?” He showed my my beloved necklace. 

“Yes! oh god! Thank you!” I almost jumped on him. “Put it on me?” He nodded. 

I felt his hand and his breathe on my nape. After putting the necklace, he kissed my nape. That sent shovers through my spine. He never fails to show some affection on me for the past three weeks. 

“Thanks.” I smiled. He looking at me with an intense. He nodded to me and turned his back to find his watch. 

That watch costs thousands of dollars so I need to find it. He found my necklace so I need to find his watch, just to return the favour. 

I tried looking underneath the bed. I saw his boxers from last night but I saw his gold watch too. 

“Find it!” I showed him the elegant and expensive watch. 

He kissed me on my lips after putting the watch on his wrist. 

“Thank you.” I nodded. 

I turned my back to check on my phone. Not that I’m waiting for any important message or calls. I need a mechanism to hide my nervousness. Every time he kiss me or show me affection, my heart beats fast. 

At first, I’m nervous and overthinking things because my heart always beats fast when I’m with him and every time he do some sweet gestures like kissing me before and after work. Kissing my forehead— which is one of the sweetest things on earth. But a realisation hits me, I’m attracted to him. 

I know I shouldn’t because damn boy we have a deal. 

No strings attached. 

No feelings should be involved. Just pure plain s*x. 

But how? He cuddles me every night after we have s*x. He take good care of me and my mother. She is close with my mother that I got nervous every time they talk. I don’t want him to get close with her, I just want them to talk casually. 

But Wallace is really a charming guy. My mom loves his humour. 

“Let’s go downstairs. Breakfast is ready.” I felt Wallace’s hand on my stomach. He’s hugging me from behind. He kissed my bare shoulder. 

I just nodded. I didn’t say anything because my heart keeps on beating fast. I removed his hand on my waist. I grabbed my bag quietly then walk towards the door. 

“You’re quite. Do we have a problem?” He asked. I simply shook my head. 

“Nope. I’m just hungry.” 

“You sure? I didn’t do something you don’t like? If I did, tell me and I’ll make it up to you.” 

See? He acts like my real boyfriend even though we are just pretending. He is acting like we are really in a relationship. 

“Nah. Let’s go downstairs. I’m hungry and I’m going to be late for work.” 

He held my hand and kissed the top of it. My heart melted in any ways. His gestures are making my heart soft for him. 

We headed downstairs and there’s a commotion. There is a lot of voice in the dining hall. I looked at Wallace and like me, he confused too. 

“Do you have a visitor you didn’t tell me?” I asked. 

“Whatever my plan in this house, you have to agree to it first before I do it. I hope you appreciated it by now. And no, I’m not expecting a visitor today.” 

I walked in first and my jaw dropped. There’s a lot of gorgeous looking guys talking to my mom. If they’re loud outside this dining hall, they are more loud since I’m closer to them. 

“f**k?” I heard Wallace’s voice on my back. He held my waist and whispered, “That’s my friends, babe.” 

“You invited them here?” 

“No. I hate that motherfuckers.” 

He held my hand again as we entered the dining hall. His face is deadly, ready to scold his friends. The commotion stopped when we got their attention. 

My mom is in the middle of the good looking grown men. There’s a long silence until someone who looked like Wallace’s twin spoke.

“Good morning love birds!” He announced. Wallace showed his middle finger to the guy— I assumed that man is his brother. 

“f**k off, Leon. What are you guys doing here? It’s early in the morning!” 

“We are having breakfast, can’t you see? We are eating.” The guy with blue eyes scoffed. The thick sarcasm is visible in his voice. 

“And who the hell invited you all?” 

“Us?” They said all together. 

Wallace didn’t say a thing. He faced me with a serious eyes. He squeezed my hand. “We can go and eat our breakfast near your work.” 

“They’re your friends. We can have our breakfast here.” I don’t want him to think that I am the superior of this whole deal. 

Besides, this is his house. He is the bigger man here. 

I gave him the intense look. He sighed before walking while squeezing my hand. 

“Hello, Miss Purple Heart. I’m Leon. Wallace cutest brother.” 

“You’re the only brother I have, idiot.” 

“What did you call me?” I asked politely. I don’t know if I heard him right or I’m just hearing things that aren’t real since I’m hungry. 

“Nothing. Hi, I’m Psyche. That grumpy man’s best friend.” 

Wallace groaned. “You’re not my best friend. We’re not close, you doofus!” 

“I’m Crow. The big brother of these idiots.” 

“I’m Apollo, the humble man.” 

“Hello, I’m Damon. I know you.” The guy with blue eyes winked at me. I wanted to smiled back but he creeps me out. 

He know me? When?

“Hello Miss Paige. You know me.” 

I smiled to Doctor Sage. “Hello Doctor Sage.” 

“We smiled at you but you only smiled to Sage? I’m not saying you’re unfair. You just have favourites.” Leon said while acting like I just hit him in the chest. 

He’s dramatic like his brother. But I can tolerate Wallace’s sulking state. 

“I met Doctor Sage before since he is the cardiologist of my mother.” 

I looked to my mother. She smiled at me. For the past weeks, she is doing great. No chest pains, no heavy breathings. Living in Wallace’s mansion and being surrounded by gentle and talkative staff— especially Rigo, did her good. 

We are just waiting for her potential donor and we are good to go. 

For the past three weeks, things are doing great. Well, sort of. 

Maybe in less than a year, or in a year my deal with Wallace will be over. My heart went cold to the idea. But I don’t have any choice. I need to let go of him one way of another. 

Deal is a deal. No strings attached. 

**** 

“See you in our room?” 

“Yeah.” I said. Wallace grabbed my nape to kiss me. My heart is beating fast again. 

“I wish you will give up this day and come with me to my office and we will make out but, I knew you won’t. So, I’m just gonna wait for you to our room.” He winked then he kissed me again. 

After that rough make out, he smiled at me. The kind of smile every women will die just to see those perfect teeth and his dimple on his right cheek. 

And I’m one of those women. 

I decided to step outside because I feel like I just want to absent and cuddle him on his bed all day. He looks adorable and hot at the same time. 

Maybe, he is the most beautiful view in Rome. 

“Hey there, Missy. I saw the make out sesh with your boyfriend.” Crissa teased me the moment I stepped my stiletto inside the building. 

“Stop, Crissa.” I pushed her away. 

She accidentally saw me and Wallace talking inside Tiana Cafe two weeks ago. Instead of telling her what is the real score, I told her what me and Wallace always say; we are in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. 

I don’t want her to ask interrogating questions because she will never understand my situation right now. 

I saw Jordan. He took a glance on me but he immediately looked away. When he learned about me having a boyfriend, he backed off. He also stop helping me find a donor. 

I just realised that he offered to help just to come closer to me. Assuming that if he helped me, he will get the chance on me. I sighed. The people around me only offered to help because they y want something in return. 

They disguised their true identity by helping and making me believe that they are really there for me in this kind of dark times. But in reality, they are just waiting for me— their prey, to bite the bait then they will eat me up. 

Well, at least Wallace is honest about his true intentions. He didn’t sugarcoat what he wants from me. He said it straight to the point. 

In this kind of cruel world, never trust someone because of their good words. Trustworthiness is shown in actions, not just words. 

Trustworthy people do not convince you by saying ‘trust me.’ 

“Anyway, you saw the new kid?” 

“New kid? Who?” I heard there’s new hired employees and he will be on my department. 

“Yeah, and he is hot as f**k! I heard he is American and he graduated from Princeton University with high honours.” 

Crissa pointed the tall man setting his table beside my table. He got a good physical appearance. He is wearing a hoodie and a specs. He looks like nerd hottie guy you can watch on porn sites. 

“He is my type.” I heard Crissa whispered. 

“Take him.” Then I walked to sit on my table beside the hot nerd. 

When I admitted to myself that I am attracted to Wallace, I cannot help myself to compare him to every man I see. 

Wallace’s physical features really stands out in every place he go. He’s a charmer and a crowd favourite. Just like to this nerdy guy. He is handsome and a hottie, yes but for me, Wallace will out-stand him when he come close to him. 

“Hi. I’m Ezekiel.” The nerdy guy tapped my shoulder. He smiled at me showing his white teeth. But he doesn’t have a dimple like Wallace. 

“Paige.” I smiled. We shook our hands. 

I turned my attention to the digital I am working when he spoke again. “You’re Paige Martin? The woman I will be working with?” 

“What?” 

He was about to speak when our boss appeared. I stood up to greet him. 

“You guys already met? Nice. Paige, I would like you to know that you and Ezekiel will be working together to create the characters for Arris Production’s upcoming film. They asked both of you personally. I hope that’s okay with you, Paige.” 

“Yeah sure.” I said without hesitation. 

Arris Production is my dream company. They are producing different cartoon tv shows and movies all over the world. Knowing that they asked me personally made me really proud of myself. Meaning, they saw my creations and they are impressed. 

“Great. Jonathan will be finishing your last project. I want you and Ezekiel to start planning.” 

I’m still smiling like a little girl when he left. I wanted to shout and jump in excitement but I controlled myself. I will jump later when I got home. 

****

After work, I decided to go home and announce the news to my mom. Me and Ezekiel exchange numbers to update each other for planning. 

I saw my mom having tea in the patio. I ran excitedly to tell her the good news. 

“Mom! I have news!” I said with exaggeration. She looked at me with confusion. “Arris Production asked me to create the animated characters for their upcoming film!” 

“Congrats, mija! You see? I told you they will notice you one day and they did. I’m so proud of you.” I hugged my mom in so much happiness. 

“I want to jump with you but I can’t. But I’m happy for you, mija. I’ll tell you what, I’ll ask Rigo to buy you some strawberry ice cream.”

“Great! I will just go upstairs and change my clothes.” 

I didn’t wait for my mom to respond. I ran as fast as I can to change my clothes immediately. I’m in so much good mood today that even a little things can make me smile and chuckle.  

“Someone’s happy today.” I saw Wallace sitting on his bed. He is wearing his sweatpants and his pink shirt. He looks adorable wearing those pink shirt. 

Instead of questioning him why he is early, I smiled at him. “I have a good news! I’m going to create the characters for Arris Production.” 

“Elaborate.” He pulled me to sit on his lap. 

“Arris Production is my dream company and earlier this morning, my boss told me that I’m going to work with one of my colleagues to plan and create the characters for their upcoming film. Isn’t that great?” 

“Congratulations. Proud of you.” He winked. 

“Thank you.” 

He kissed me with so much passion. 

I don’t know what happened but I found myself moaning to this gorgeous man’s thrust inside me. 

“Ah!” I moaned. I gripped the sheet. 

His thrust is desperate, wanting to experience the pleasurable sensation. In every thrust, I can feel like we are dancing in the music only me and Wallace can recognise. As if we are performing the good dance in erotic way. 

He kissed and hugged me while thrusting deeper inside me. 

“f**k, Paige. You’re driving me crazy. Goddamn I’m f*****g close.” His thrust became faster than ever. 

After few more desperate and delicious thrust, we came together. 

Wallace collapsed beside me. We are both panting, trying to catch the air we lost during that hot steamy s*x. 

“You liked my congratulations gift?” Wallace spooned me. We are both sweaty. 

“Damn, that’s how you congratulate someone?” 

“No, that’s how I congratulate my girlfriend. That’s how I congratulate you.” He kissed my nape. 

The best congratulations I got for today. Damn. That’s mind blowing congratulation greetings. I mean who wouldn't love getting a d**k because you did a good job? d**k as a prize? Living for it.
