CHAPTER SIX
1820 Words
It's my very hot ex- boss Klaus. He's dressed in a pair of signature black jeans and white T-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. He has on a pair of black Snickers too. His black hair is perfectly combed and almost covers his left eye, damn he's hot and delicious!. I feel like kissing him this instant but hey.... that's not where we are right now.
"Hello, come in please" I usher him into the living room.
"Nice flat you've got here" he compliments and I begin to wonder why he would find this place cool. It's nothing compared to his fabulous condo.
"Thank you. Why are you here?" I ask not caring if I'm being rude or not.
"To know why you didn't show up at work" he says giving me a serious look.
If he thinks I didn't mean what I said about quitting at his office then he's got it all wrong.
"Klaus I thought I gave you a resignation letter yesterday"
"I accidentally tore it"
It wasn't an accident pee brain!
"I could write another one here an now if you want"
"I don't want you to"
"What exactly do you want?" I ask a bit nerved.
"I want you come back to the office and work"
" So you could nag me all day about getting into a relationship with you?"
"About that Hazel" he takes two steps closer and now we're just a few inches away from each other. "I'm very sorry I burdened you with my emotions, I guess I was just too blinded by them that I couldn't realise how much I was hurting you. So here's what I've decided, I'm not gonna bother you again. We're going to be the way we were before we made love"
"Had s*x" I correct
"Made love Hazel" he insists and I roll my eyes. Who even says it like that." I promise never to bring it up again if you come back to the office. I need my PA back, please"
He pleads sincerely and I feel the walls I spent days building crumble to dust. Wow he's a great hypnotist, he looks so sorry and sincere that the thought of saying no to him makes my heart ache.
I promise you Klaus whatever it is you used on me is soon going to wear out and I will return to my senses.
"Pinky swear?" My mouth says against the will of my mind.
"Pinky swear" we demonstrate the pinky swear and burst into laughter.
"What are we now?, Five year olds?"
"Overgrown babies I guess"
"Thanks a lot Hazel, this means a lot to me"
"You're welcome, um...I'm sorry Klaus , I have nothing as food to offer. I don't cook, in fact I can't cook"
I confess and he looks at me with a creased brow.
Yeah, I get that a lot.
"And you're supposed to be a woman?" He mocks
The nerve of this guy.
"And just which law states that all women must know how to cook?" I defend and he shakes his head.
"Where's the kitchen?"
"Over there....wait what?" I ask and he makes his way directly into the kitchen and opens the fridge.
"Nice" he starts taking out food stuff from it.
"What are you doing?" I ask aghast.
"What do you see me doing?"
"You can't just come into my kitchen and start touching stuff" that's me acting possessive when I do not even use the kitchen at all.
Well then I guess I'm talking on behalf of Wendy
Wendy!!!, She'll kill me if she comes back and doesn't find her stuff.
"Just be quiet and get me a shirt"
"You wanna cook?"
"Isn't it obvious?" He asks in a bored tune
"Wait, you can cook?"
"Is that a statement or a question?"
"Anyone you choose"
"As a matter of fact, yes I can cook"
"Wow, that's impressive"
"I know right?, Now will you please get me a shirt?"
"Be right back"
I rush into Wendy's bedroom and rummage through her wardrobe. She's always stealing Blake's T-shirts and bringing back home so I'm hoping to find one.
Trust me I hate the idea of Klaus wearing Blake's T-shirt but right now there's no other way out. I just hope Klaus does get infected with a cheating attitude when he wears the t-shirt
"Gotcha!"
I pull out a blue t-shirt and leave the bedroom. When I get to the kitchen I meet a very shirtless Klaus chopping onions. I pause for a while and secretly admire his perfect body build. Totally athletic. His biceps are something else.
"Like what you see?" He asks with a naughty smirk.
Shit!
He caught me.
He turns around and I blink hard when my eyes land on his well formed abs
He's got f*****g hot six packs
Just how often does this guy visit the gym?
"Just wear the shirt already"
" Sweetheart, you still have the shirt in your hands"
Talk about embarrassment?, I'm experiencing the ultimate level of it right now.
I throw the shirt on his body and as he wears it I almost choke on my saliva as his muscles poke out as he stretches out his arms to wear the shirt.
"Call me if you need anything" I say as I turn to leave before I do anything stupid. Right now my hormones are all over the place .
"Don't you want to learn how to cook"
"Even if I learn now, I'll forget everything when I wake up tomorrow so don't waste your time"
I lie.
Honestly i want stay and learn a thing or two from him but as it is now I'm unstable. Seeing him shirtless has totally turned me on. My hormones are going crazy and I don't trust myself to contain them around Klaus. I really do not want to do anything embarrassing so I'll just keep my distance.
It's for the better.
"You seriously hate the kitchen don't you?"
"I don't hate the kitchen, I hate the activities carried out in the kitchen"
I lie yet again.
I like cooking but I can't. I admire Wendy's cooking skills a lot. Most at times I secretly go to the kitchen and try to make toast or pancakes but they always turn out to be that bad.
Either burnt, or tasteless or too spicy and all that.
But right now since my hormones are in charge of thinking and not my mind, all I can do is lie.
And I repeat, I do not want to do anything embarrassing.
"Alright then, keep these for me" he hands over his shirt and leather jacket . I take them to my room and guess what I do, I perceive the smell of the rich perfume on his jacket and when I decide that I'm never getting enough, I put on the jacket and keep the white T-shirt in my wardrobe.
Klaus smells just like heaven!.
************************************
By seven pm, Klaus and are cuddled up on a couch in the living room watching comedy videos on Netflix. It was a tug of war deciding what to watch earlier but we finally settled on comedy and I can't be any less happier.
Honestly I don't even know how we ended up cuddling or why. I just found myself in his arms and I'm quite comfortable in them.
Klaus!
He always has his way with things. No doubt he's a successful business man.
The door opens and Wendy walks in. When she sees Klaus she loos at me with questioning eyes and I shrug.
Even I do not know how things got to this level.
"Hello in here" she finally greets and Klaus turns to look at her.
"Hello, you must be Wendy"
"Yes I am"
"Nice to meet you Wendy"
"The pleasure's mine Mr Arthur"
I thought she was gonna say Mr Romantic.
"Hazel you've got a lot of explanations to do." That's Wendy
"I know, right?. Join us"
"I'm hungry but I'm too tired to cook so I'll just order pizza"
"Klaus made dinner"
"What?" She asked surprised.
"You heard me"
" Wow Mr Arthur..."
"Klaus will do Wendy"
"Sorry....Klaus, that was thoughtful of you". She complements with a pretty smile.
"I helped" I seek for notice and Wendy just rolls her eyes.
"Of course you did"
"Come on I'm serious"
"And I believe you" she says as she walks to the kitchen.
I know she doesn't believe me. She never does.
"Be still" he holds me still in his arms and I place my head on my broad comfortable chest. He caresses my hair and kisses my forehead.
"You can keep the jacket if you like it"
"I didn't have plans of giving it back" I confess and he chuckles.
"Typical you".
I've said this before and I'm still saying it now. I don't know how things have gotten to this level.
Wendy soon joins us and we all watch many more comedy videos together. Klaus and Wendy end up getting more acquainted with each other and the evening goes on smoothly.
************************************
One month later.
Klaus kept to his promise about not bringing up the relationship issue at work and I'm beyond grateful. We now have the perfect employee - employer relationship and I totally love it
It's nine pm , Wendy and I are watching SpongeBob SquarePants and suddenly get this urge to eat peanut butter. Strange thing is , I hate peanut butter but now I feel like I will die I don't have it in the next zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero one second. I rush to the kitchen and take out the entire bottle of peanut from the fridge and start l*****g.
"What the hell!" Wendy exclaims
"What?" I ask innocently.
"Since when did you start eating eating peanut butter?"
"Since now, l just have this...." I'm cut off by the urge to throw out and I rush to my bathroom where I puke violently in the toilet pot. Wendy stoops by my side and rubs my back as puke even more.
When I'm done, I rinse my mouth and she gives me some tissue to clean my lips which I gladly accept and when I'm done I flush the toilet.
" Hazel what's wrong?" She asks concerned.
"I don't know" I answer weakly. I don't know where all my energy suddenly went to.
"First you were craving for peanut butter and now you're vomiting. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
She asks gently and then it clicks.
My period is about three weeks late.
I'm craving for something I've never liked before.
I'm puking violently out of nowhere not forgetting the sudden dizziness that has taken over me right now.
I am definitely pregnant!
Klaus has knocked me out!
