Amara’s POV
“Because you can’t….” that’s all the words that came out of my mouth, and my mother glared at me sharply. She shook her head, and said, “Can you shut your mouth? You don’t know anything!”
Then her phone suddenly rang, it was one of her friends who called her, and her expression changed when she answered the call, “Yes? Oh my god…what? Oh, yes! I’m coming right now….stay right there, and don’t move.”
I glanced at my mom, “Mom, where are you going?”
She grabbed her purse, and said, “Anita needs my help!” and she gazed at Parker, “Oh, can you take care of her for me? I really need to go. It’s an emergency.”
Parker nodded his head, and my mother rushed out the door. The heated mood made the living room feel like hell. I'm at a loss for words right now, especially because I'm standing before a man I just met last night, and the memories are making me feel awkward. Then I remembered all of a sudden that we had kissed!
“Uhm….” I gulped, and he took one step closer, and my eyes widened as he was so close to me that I forgot to breathe.
"Just to be clear, don't say anything about what happened last night to my mom, and don't think about it anymore. It was nothing, nothing...." I said while shaking my head.
He leaned forward and said, “Why is it easy for you to forget me?”
“I don’t know! And you are too young for my mom!” I glared at him.
“I’m twenty-nine, sweetheart.”
I sighed, “And she’s thirty-five!”
“Age doesn’t matter,” he sneered.
“What?!” I rolled my eyes at him.
And I opened the door, and said, “Get out of my house.”
He said calmly. "I don't know that she's your mom!"
"Then what? If you knew she was my mom, you would not ask for her hand for marriage?!"
He smiled evilly, "Yes, I would have asked you instead."
I gasped softly, “You’re crazy.”
He sighed, “Yes….”
He touched my hand, and then he closed the door behind him. He stared at me from head to toe, and said, “Do you want to see magic?”
I stared at him in disbelief, “I don’t have time for your nonsense, Mister. Can you please leave me alone?”
I was shocked when he took lacy white underwear out of his pocket. He put the underwear up above his head, and as I tried to take it, I didn't know I was too close to his body. I could feel his warmth, and I knew this was not good! This is clearly wrong on many levels!
“Give it back to me!”
“I wonder if you are wearing your underwear right now because you forgot this in my hotel room,” he said.
I whispered softly, “Give it back to me, please.”
Then he grabbed my hand and gave me my underwear. I turned as red as a tomato. This is driving me crazy and making me feel terrible about myself.
“You’re blushing,” he said.
“Can you please get out?”
“Oh, your mom asked me that I needed to look for you.” he smiled and sat on our old dirty couch.
I put my hand on my hips and said, “I’m not a kid anymore!”
“Yeah, I know.” his eyes landed on my chest.
Turning around, I went to my room and shut the door so he wouldn't bother me anymore. Many questions are rushing through my head about why we have to see one another again, especially considering that what happened between the two of us last night was only ALMOST a one-night stand! And nothing happened between us! Why does he have to be so annoying all the time?
I took a deep breath and opened my closet to change for new clothes, but I was startled when I heard the door creak and he saw me half naked. He saw my bare chest, and he gulped while staring at it. “You don’t lock your door.”
I bit my lower lip, and sharply stared at him, “But it doesn’t mean that you need to open my bedroom’s door.”
“You can’t escape from me, Amara,” he said, and then he locked the door. “You can’t deny the fact that you like me too.”
I scowled at him, but he was right; he looked so mind-blowing that I couldn't take my gaze off him. I put my hands over my chest, and he said, "It's too late, I've already seen it."
“What do you want from me?! I ain’t doing anything wrong to you, so why do you have to annoy me like this!” I panted.
He walked towards me, and stared right into my eyes, “Yes, you didn’t do anything, but we have an unfinished business. If you give me what I want, I’ll cancel the wedding.”
“What?!”
"You see, I have no choice; your mother looks like she gambled away all her money, and my dying father wants me to marry a woman this month before he dies. So I made a deal with her, but I didn't know that you were her daughter."
"You are playing with her!" I shook my head. "If you have already made a deal with her, don't bother me anymore!"
He stepped closer, and I could feel his warm breath on my neck and shoulder. He kissed my shoulder down to my arms, and whispered, “Just give it to me.”
I asked, confused, “What?”
To my surprise, he didn't say a word as he cupped my face and kissed my lips. I was shocked and pushed him away. But he witnessed the tenderness of my breasts, and his eyes burned with need. He put his head down, grabbed my waist, and kissed my breasts. I moan softly because the feeling is so great and weird, but I have to push him away because that is an inappropriate thing to do!
“Parker….Don’t…” I said while covering my almost naked body. Then we both stared at each other when we heard a knock on the door, and it was my MOM!
