chapter 9

Calli was so happy about the fact that Ann considered his proposal and that makes her his privacy, he won't allow anyone to come close to her, he decided to stop thinking and enjoy her hands that were playing with his hair but not until he noticed that she was absentminded, he sat up to ask her the problem when he heard the heart-wrenching name escape her lips.

" Josh Thornton ", Ann whispered, she wondered why he'll want to marry her especially since it was news that she is an incapable child and unfit to be the queen, her thoughts were cut short when Calli's lips landed on hers.

" mmm...mhm ", it started gently until Calli bit her hard.

" what's the matter? why did you bite me?", she asked with h flushed face, she couldn't believe she was enjoying that kiss.

" To bring you back to reality baby girl", Calli said softly.

" when I'm lost in thought just give me some space okay, you know nothing of what I was thinking about, just mind your biz, I say that we just move smoothly in this relationship and that includes the no kissing rule", Ann said in a jiffy before taking a long breath.

          "Hmm, but you can't ignore the fact that I'm the most eligible bachelor, most suitable for you, my inkjet hair, pink soft lips, and muscular body is hard to ignore?", Calli couldn't help but flaunt his body to her as Ann gulped at his rocky abs.

" psst, what a narcist, I've seen better besides what do you have to show for...for. For.... ", Ann couldn't complete her statement when she noticed Calli walking towards her with that intimidating aura and there was only one thing she could think off now;

" Ruuuunnn!!", her mind yelled at her as she quickly dashed into the bathroom smiling victoriously.

" Up top Ann, you did well", she couldn't help congratulating herself at her escaped.

" well, well, no way of escape anymore ", Calli's voice echoed in the bathroom as he smiled evilly and walked towards her.

" what do...do you want... don't... don't come any closer or I'll kick you", she threatened but calli reached for her hands and dragged her out, he didn't want to get things messy.

He pulled her out and cornered her to the wall of his bedroom.

" Do you how many girls are dying to have me or even kiss me?, do you know his much I love you?, but don't take my love for granted, I can't lose you Ann.

" Do you know how many girlfriends I've had but no one can be compared to you", Calli said which made Ann boil in rage.

" Then go to them", Ann blurted out.

"What?", Calli asked confused.

" Go to those girls of yours, I don't care, you might be handsome and rich and muscular but I need a man with brains, so buzz off, I won't even marry someone like you ", Ann blurted out again.

Calli turned around with his back facing her as he swept his hands on his hair giving him a disheveled look and he turned back to face her.

" Why am I always the one at fault?, you always blame me,  I'm trying to rectify my mistakes but you keep on misunderstanding me, I need you to trust me", he said looking deep into her eyes.

Ann felt like he was gazing at her soul, " I don't need a boyfriend Calli and that's the truth", Ann said with a firm gaze making Callie move backward and fold his hands.

" so you won't get jealous if you see me with another girl prettier than you are like Bianca Lorenzo, the daughter of the famous business tycoon, your college rival", he asked with raised eyebrows as he laughed inwardly.

" no...no I won't... I won't get ... Jea. Jealous ", Ann insisted with a stoic gaze but Calli could see how she balled her fist and gnashed her teeth.

He burst into a fit of laughter;

" you can't lie to me, stop denying your feelings unless in the future someone will take your place in my life, I used the past tense of having and, that is had, I thought you are good in English ", Calli teased her making Ann's lip twitch.

" only heavens know how I'm trying to hold this emotion in", Ann thought.

Calli moved closer and held her waist sniffing her brown hair that smelt of coconut oil and her lavender roll-on.

" Only her mere fragrance calms you down Calli, you are a lovestruck as well as a battered man all because of a woman", Calli could hear his inner man speaking to him.

He knew now that Ann was his missing piece but the problem was her lack of sympathy and heartlessness, and as he was thinking she snapped back to reality.

she was taken aback by Calli's sudden display of affection, something she always dreamt and wished for but she had an important mission and he was not to be included in it.

Ann pushed Calli to the bed, throwing him a towel.

" Well you're still angry at me because of my numerous girlfriends, come on, I've dated them but never laid with any of them, but what about you that many men are dying to be with but I'm happy you rejected them or I'd have snapped their necks and they'll know never to approach my woman ", calli said sweetly as Ann hugged him.

Her hot tears drenched his chest, she couldn't bear life without him but she must avoid him, she had a mission at hand.

" what's the problem? ", he asked but was taken aback when Ann initiated a kiss, it was long and sensual.

"Okay, okay, enough,", Veda who had been witnessing everything barged in with Stephen walking casually beside her as he smirked.

Ann was blushing hard while Calli frowned hard at the intruders.

" Ann hit the shower and calli go workout with Stephen ", Veda ordered.

Ann scurried off to the closet to get some clothes while calli glared furiously at her.

" Why are you glaring at me?, you can't threaten me, you're the boss only at work and you don't want to see me mad you can ask Ann what I do to disobedient children besides I need to talk privately with Ann ", she said as a matter-of-fact.

" And you're in my house which makes you a subject to me", Calli growled coldly.

 " Remember I'm here only because of what you did to me and my friend, or do you want us to leave?", she threatened.

Immediately Calli heard "we", he conceded, he couldn't lose Ann.

" I'll go not because of your foolish threat but for Ann, just know that you have an enemy now, let's go Stephen ", he said as he reached for his joggers and T-shirt.

" Once I get her love, I'll throw you and other meaningless people out of her life", Calli muttered softly and Veda chuckled as she watched them leave.

Ann came out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her hand.

" Since you made me your assistant, I have information about Mr. B's whereabouts and I did a background check on Mr. A, I found something", Veda informed.

Many people thought that Ann lived like a walking class Lady but they were mistaken, she was going to get the crown, hook, or crook but it must never come from her father, so she trained Veda who is now her assistant to be a spy.

Ann stomped her feet, eyebrows creased, as Veda relayed all the information to her.

" we must leave tomorrow ", Veda informed which made Ann frown in displeasure but the deed must be done.
