18 Nice Try

When Ivy woke again it's morning and the sun is high in the sky. That man had more energy and libido than she had thought. Ivy sat up, her muscles aching and she checked her phone for the time.

Seeing it was eleven. Ivy got up slightly wobbly and sore walking like Bambi. She entered the bathroom and started to tidy herself and wash up. Luckily her dress covers her arms and chest. She has no concealer for the red love marks on her neck so she leaves her hair down to cover it.

Ivy went out of the bathroom entering the bedroom, she grabs her phone and opened the door to the living room. Seeing Noah working away at the coffee table on his laptop and Aiden standing beside him I realise I'm not going anywhere today.

Looking up Noah smiles and she knows he has seen through her escape plan.

"Good morning Ms, the wardrobe on the left has everything you will need if you want to change".

Ivy nodded and escaped back into the bedroom. Giving in to her fate she went to the wardrobe to take a look. There is everything a girl could need or want and all in this seasons clothing. She checked the drawers and there's underwear all in her size and in only red and black. She wondered if he knew her taste or is this his? Ivy grabbed some black skinny jeans and a plain black t-shirt out of the drawers and closed the wardrobe doors.

This time she took her time and got a shower before putting her clothes on. Tying her hair up she joined them in the living room again.

Ivy looked over and Noah was busy with some documents and Aiden is talking to him about some investment. Noah is wearing his usual black shirt with the top two buttons left undone and his sleeves rolled up.

Ivy kept walking and ignored the sexiness coming of the man on the sofa. Walking to the kitchen Ivy made herself, Noah and Aiden a coffee each. She then brought them over and set Noah's and Aiden's down. Smiling she turned back to get hers from the kitchen. She can see he's caught off guard by how nice she was being. Escape plan two is in progress she thought.

While Ivy got her coffee she opened the fridge. What is this, there is bottled water and beer and that's it. What does he eat?

Ivy went back to the living room and stayed standing drinking her coffee she didn't want to watch the sexy man on the sofa so she looked outside at the view and sighed.

"Problem?".

Yes, I have his attention she jumped internally. Ivy then sat beside him curling her long legs onto the sofa nearly cuddled up beside him.

"Don't you eat?".

He smiles back.

"I do".

"Your fridge consists of water and beer, I can't survive on just coffee".

He laughs at me, great it's working she hoped.

"What do you suggest, you want to take out? Aiden will get it".

"No, I want to cook for myself".

"You can cook?".

His eyebrows raised in shock.

"Don't sound and look so surprised. So I'll go grab groceries".

Ivy went to get up and he pulls her back to the sofa.

"Nice try. Aiden ring Thomas".

"Yes sir".

Ivy rolled her eyes. She got comfortable again and drank her coffee. He reaches out and drinks his too. Hope you don't choke on it she thought.

Ivy heard the door and Thomas comes in, he's in his usual black suit white shirt combo very much the bodyguard style.

"Reporting Boss, Oh hey Ivy".

He formally bows to Noah but then looks up and smiles at Ivy.

"Hi".

She smiled back at her only friend she feels she has here.

"I will be going to the office, today Thomas you will go fetch Ivy's things with her and then go shopping. Ivy I look forward to dinner".

He bends over and kisses her lips. Then stands straight fixing his sleeves and buttoning his shirt. She didn't even realise what she was doing when she suddenly got up and took his tie, she looped it over his head and tied it for him. He smiled back at her and she then realised what she didn't back down with her coffee and with that he left the apartment.

"Let's go, Thomas".

Ivy drank some coffee, grabbing her things and headed for the door with Thomas following close behind her.
