Chapter 18: Together-1

"Holy shit! It's 6.00am already." I exclaimed. We had been chatting for hours and had been so engrossed in our conversation that we didn't notice, we're sleeping on the same bed after tiring ourselves. Lucas didn't went back his room last night. I was shocked. Suddenly I felt like all the nerves in my body were tingling and I could barely stand. I tried to calm her beating heart and searing veins.

After checking my dress code, all still nicely intake and not one piece is missing, I felt satisfied. Then her stomach started grumbled loudly, she's hungry. Looking over at Lucas's calm face, he's still in dreamland. But I still have to wake him up. Reluctantly, I rolled over and wake him up. When he got up and seeing himself inside my room, he felt little ashamed.

"I'm starving. Would we go down for breakfast? I said looking out the window, it's the least I can do to get out of this awkward situation. He gently turned my face to him, pulled me into him and hug me a while. He then crooked his finger under my chin so she would look at him. Her eyes met his and he glanced down at my lips. It was all the motivation he needed... kissed!

"Lucas?" She muttered. He froze at my tone and frowned. "What's wrong?" He looked down at me. "Why? Did we do anything beyond our expectation last night?" He asked, teasing me. "No...!!!" I said firmly blushing red. Without realization, my head dipped lower against his chest. For a moment, there's an awkward silence inside the room.

'You weren't stumbling drunk and yet you slept with him. Did you know who he was? He's your boss. What if something unforseen occurred." I murmured something unintelligible softly. He already knew what I was thinking and heard what I'm whispering.

"What?" Lucas asked. "No.. nothing. I didn't say anything. I thought...." Then words failed her. "Why? What?" He asked again. I looked up, startled at his question. "Nothing... Why didn't you go back to your room... with her?" She asked turning her head away from me. He noticed my shoulders tremble a little as she sighed. "Ruby..?" She could hear the wobble in his voice. "Sorry, I wasn't myself this morning.... I don't know...."

"What baby?" He muttered into my skin. I gasped as he started to nip at my neck. We can't do this...." I bit my lip to stifle a moan. He licked a line up my neck and sucked gently on my earlobe and I unconsciously groaned. I stopped him immediately and he excused himself to go freshen up in his room.

Took my shower then proceeded to dry my hair, put on a beautiful outfit and then I did a little make up. I examined my reflection in the mirror. "I think this will do great." I say while heading to the door. Lucas was waiting in the hallway for the 10 minutes. "Ready?" He asked and I nodded. Stepping out of the elevator, he directed me towards a black door.

The revolving cafe situated on the 23rd floor was so well put together and everything in the room was bright, pretty cosy with an amazing view through the big window. I just got up and went towards it, looking out from up here really makes you feel on top of the world. I had poured myself and Lucas coffee. Food were delicious and tastes better here!

"Would you like to go for a walk with me?" He asked. "Yea sure!" I answered while munching on my food." This man was so confusing. One minute he was nibbling my neck, the next he wanted to leave the hotel to go for a walk. It was well past 10.00am when we head out the hotel. We walked for hours at the nearby departmental store, patrolling every shop. "Everything's here look nice." I said. "That must be because you love everything here." Lucas replied. "Maybe" I winks at him.

After rounding the departmental store for hours, we headed back to the hotel. "Come to dinner with me tomorrow. We'll be meeting the B&T client." He asked, only then I remembered the proposal. "Okay." I replied and all was silence. A few seconds later, his door quietly open. "We need to discuss the proposal term." He said, coaxing me into his room. Once inside, he found my ears as he nibbled it. I didn't respond, paused. "I better go back to my room." She sighed.

"I don't want you to." Whispered Lucas. I had just only taken two steps back and felt a hand around my wrist. Next thing I knew, I was seated on Lucas's lap and breathless. Without any explanation, he pulled me back into his embrace and kissed me, more gently this time.
