TAMARA'S POV
Startled, I stood still not knowing what to do next.
Turn this way, he said again and I slowly turned towards him with my head bowed. Were you trying to sneak out after taking advantage of me? He asked, making me look up at him speechless.
You want to use and dump me? He asked again.
What's he saying? Shouldn't I be the one complaining about being taken advantage of. Why is he switching the role? He came down from the bed and approached me but my eyes could only roam his physique because he's only wearing a pair of shorts.
Come here, he said as he suddenly scooped me off the floor making me embrace him for support. He took me back to the bed
You're not leaving, you must take responsibility for me, do you understand? He said to me,
Finally I managed to ask, how?
Well, it's up to you, we can continue what we started in a more formal way or you can compensate me by letting me have my way with you whenever I want, he replied, confusing me further.
But I was only trying to help you when you were drunk and you started making advances on me, I said trying to defend myself.
So did I force you? He asked. You said I was drunk, what about you? Were you also drunk? He asked again.
Yes, he was drunk but I wasn't, I could have left but I chose to indulge him, so does that make me the culprit now? I looked at him dejectedly.
You can either be my woman and I will come to you whenever I want or you can be my girlfriend, a mutual relationship, he said. I thought about it, being his woman sounds more like being his bed mate, I will never stoop so low so does that mean that I will become my boss's girlfriend?
But romantic relationships are not allowed in the company, I said to him.
I'm the law, it doesn't apply to me, he replied.
But it applies to me, I countered.
As long as I'm involved, it doesn't, he replied.
Can I think about it, I asked. No, he replied immediately.
After a while he asked, so what's the deal? You're now my woman huh?
I won't be your woman, I replied immediately. I would rather be your girlfriend, I added.
Then my girlfriend you shall be. Come let's sleep a little more, he declared.
No, I don't want to be late to work, I countered.
Your boyfriend is the owner of the company, have you forgotten? He asked.
I still don't want to be late to work, I replied.
Ok, I will make it quick, he said, making me confused but before I could ask what he meant there was a rip sound.
Oh my God! My clothes are gone. Why do you have to rip my clothes like that? I screamed at him.
I will buy you a new one, he breathed into my ear as he sucked on my ear robe making me lose my sense of reasoning.
VINCENT'S POV
When I found her trying to sneak out, I smirked inwardly. I have been awake long before she woke up, you can call me greedy but I'm not letting go of her yet because one night is not enough to satisfy me. I called her back and soon, we were making our deal. Seeing her struggle to come up with a solution really made me want to laugh out loud, this girl doesn't know whom she's dealing with, she's trapped for good. Whether my woman or my girlfriend, I will always find my way into her laps, that's something she can't escape. After the morning exercise, I let her go. I understand that she has to go to work because taking another leave soon wouldn't be good for her reputation.
I offered to drop her at work. When we got to the company, she refused to get down where people could see her so she followed me into the parking lot before getting off. As she left, I watched her retreating figure, her elegance is palpable and she's indeed a beauty to behold. I looked away after she had entered the building. We would have made a good couple if only this relationship was real.
TAMARA'S POV
I got into the company through the rear entrance and took the stairs to the floor of my department. As soon as I got in someone blocked me before I could reach my cubicle. Hmm Dora, the haughty girl of our department. I squinted at her wondering why she had blocked my way.
So you are now sleeping in and out of the men's bed huh? She asked me.
I perceived she must have seen me get out of Mr Holland's car, of course she will because this girl is always sneaking around. I didn't give her the reaction she was expecting and answered, do you have a problem with that?
I bet she's surprised at my reply and then bursts into a rant.
You, you think you're now something just because you got into his bed? You should really be aware of your level so that when he dumps you, you won't cry a river, She said and storms out.
Me, cry a river? I don't think so, I thought as I made my way to my cubicle.
