A LOVE TO DOMINATE

Chapter 5

“Are you stalking me or something? Linda said with a wide eye.

“What? Stalk you? Hell no!” he shook his head as he turned around as if trying to observe his environment. “It’s late, we have to leave here now.” He took her by her hand as her opened the car door for her to get in. “get in.”

Linda hesitated for sometime before getting into the car as he shut the car door, got in and drove off. He drove into a hotel as they got out and went straight to the reception. A female receptionist who was standing by the counter welcomed them with a smile.

“Welcome sir.” She smiled as she brought out a card from her desk and handed it over to Donald without any word from him.

“Thank you.” He said reaching out his hand to collect the card. Linda pulled him away from the counter.

“What are you doing?” she whispered to him with a frown on her face.

“Getting the key to my room from the receptionist obviously.” He replied her sarcastically.

She exhaled as she rolled her eyes at the same time. “Of course I know, but what are we doing in a hotel and most especially what do we need a room for?” still whispering.

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he got Linda confused. “I’m so sorry for laughing, it’s just that I can’t hold it in.” trying to control his laughter as he doesn’t want it to get too irritating and more annoying to her. “First of, you are not my type of girl and secondly I’m not a pervert.” He paused as he placed his hand on her shoulder. “Relax okay. I just want you to go in freshen up and get some rest.”

“What!” she bit her lower lip as she tried to digest what he had just said to her. “I am not your type?” she muttered as she adjusted the loosed strands of her hair with her hand.

Donald walked away from her making his way down to where the elevator is as he beckoned on her. “Aren’t you coming with me?”

“Huh!” she followed him reluctantly.

Jonas got to the office by 8am hoping to see Linda there. He went straight to there department ignoring the greetings of some of his colleagues around as he met Mrs Gina their departmental supervisor arranging the files on her desk.

“Good morning Mrs Gina.”

“Yeah, good morning Jonas. Why does your face look so pile, are you sick or you didn’t get enough sleep?”

“I am fine Mrs Gina.” He said with wide eyes still looking around the office to see if he could catch a glimpse of Linda. “Did you happen to see Linda this morning?”

“Not yet. I think she haven’t resume yet.”

“Up on till this time?” he replied her almost immediately.

She moved closer to him as she said with almost a whisper. “Have you forgotten that she went on a date last night, she might still be in bed with him by now.” She smiled as she continued. “I sure know how it feels after one have been proposed to so she can take her time or should I call her to let her know she can also take a day off today also?” she placed her both hands on her chicks.

“Mrs Gina!”

“What?” she asked rolling her eyes.

“She’s not been taking her calls since last night. What if something is wrong?” Jonas scratched his head with his left hand.

“Why would you call her? If she’s not picking up that says it all.” She hit his shoulder with her hand. “You really have to get a girlfriend soon so you can experience this too.

“A girlfriend, no way. Snap out of your dreams Mrs Gina!” he said as he turned to leave.

“You have to stop following Linda around as she would be getting married soon and you can try going on a blind date first!” she screamed out so he could hear her even on his way out.

“Coming to you was a total waste of time.” He murmured.

“Or should I set up a blind date for Jonas with my cousin sister. He is actually not a bad guy.” She said to herself in a low tone as she touched her ears while smiling.

Jonas checked some more around the office premises and asked few others of there colleagues about Linda but everyone had almost the same response to his question as it wasn’t no news that she went on a date with her boyfriend who ought to propose on her birthday. He went to his office as he dialed her number again trying to call her.

Linda held her head so tight with her left hand and her eyes still half closed as she stretched her right hand on the side table behind the bed following the sound of her cell phone ring tone coming from that direction, she pressed the answer button on her phone without checking who the caller was as her eyes were still closed.

“Hello”

“Finally, you picked up. Linda where are you?” Jonas answered with his voice filled with excitement and worry at the same time.

“Jonas, is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me. What happened? Why were you not taking your calls all night and why are you not yet at work?

She stretched her body as she turned to the other side of the bed only to feel a cold towel close to her neck and a masculine body lying beside her. “Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” she screamed and jump up with her both eyes wide open. Donald who was lying on the bed close to her woke up.

“Emmm, please let me call you back.” She dropped the call leaving her friend with yet so many more thoughts and worries about her.

She turned to Donald. “What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing here?” Donald giggled as he asked her with a surprise look on his face. “Don’t you remember asking me to help you last night while I was in the suit?”

She got a flash back of what happened the previous night when they both got into the hotel room together. “I will have to sleep here on the couch and you can use the bed in the room.” She said as she sat on the couch in the suit.

“I will be working although the night so you can use the bed. The couch will be just fine for me.”

“No, no, no. you should use the bed.” She objected.

He moved closer to her and pulled her up from the couch. “I am not asking you rather I am telling you. Go in and freshen up, you might fall sick if you keep arguing with me with your wet ha…” she sneezed before he could complete his statement. “You see. Now go in.”

“Okay. Thanks.” She walked slowly to the bathroom while looking around.

She freshened up, dried her hair and clothes and made her way into the bedroom. Few hours into the night she was burning up and sweating profusely and she rolled on the bed gathering her energy and strength to call out for help.

“Ple…ase he…help me.” She stammered in a low tone as her voice couldn’t even be heard by Donald in the next room. She struggled to stand up as she walked slowly to the door supporting herself with the walls. She managed to open the door. “Please help me.” She said as she collapse.

Donald stood up and rushed her as soon as his eyes turned to hers. He placed his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature and he lifted her up from the ground and lay her on the bed, made his way to the bathroom soaked a hand towel in water and placed it on her forehead to help reduce the temperature. “Hey! Open your eyes.”

Presently she gasped and blinked as she looked at Donald. “Hmmm.” She clears her throat as she felt kind of embarrassed. “I need to get to work,”

“If you ask me, I will say you should first go to the hospital and probably take a day off today.” He said as he stood up and moved closer to her. He lowered his head as he tried to look into her eyes but she resisted. “Stay still.”

They stared deep into each other’s eyes as their head came together as though they were about to kiss.
