Not an option

They both stopped, breathing heavily. They could no longer see the men from the bar, that was chasing after them earlier. Michelle was so overjoyed that she laughed at this moment. It's been so long since she felt this overjoyed. As she laughed, Copper started looking at her, smiling.

He coughed immediately and Michelle stopped, noticing that she had laughed for almost a minute. What now, was she going to walk her way back to the bar? Or was she going to go home with this gentleman?

She kept staring at Copper. Moments of silence filled the air as their eyes stole glances at each other. Copper looked at her and close the gap between them. What was this tension that they felt? Copper was drunk no doubt but the lady he could see right in front of him stole his pain away. What more could he feel? Michelle looked way pretty that he didn't know when his lips locked to hers, Michelle kissed him immediately and removed her lips again.

'Ohh, gosh. What did I do?' She cursed at herself. In case she forgot, he was a celebrity and one could lose him or herself in front of him. Michelle was no exception. He was a handsome and well-made man. He had dark eyes and black neat hair that fell gracefully under his chin. It was long. He looked at her, sending the chills she deserved. She blushed.

"Follow me." She said while pulling his hand along. So enough when they walked past three streets, they both stepped into her apartment. Copper was silent as he kept following her as she remotes him.

When Michelle open her door, Copper just walked in towards her bed. He sits on it while falling flat on her bed. What did Michelle expect? noting to be precise but they just kissed a few hours ago and he said nothing about it.

'He's still drunk.' Michelle said before walking over to pull his whole cloth with hers. After she was done, she sank into the bed.

Michelle slapped her head immediately knowing that she was the cause of the whole problem. The alarm beeped immediately and she runs over to the bathroom. It was already time for her to go to work.

(At work)

When Michelle got to work, she was already a few hours late. Last night, she forgot to check her name out and when she got to the door to the bar, Alrando stops her. He was her boss and he cherished her the most because she was pretty and was a very valuable asset. She looked at her from her legs and remembers how her mom begged for her to stay.

"Where are you going to?" He asked with a cold voice.

"What do you mean?" She laughed because she knew that Alrando was always good with his jokes and that was when she looked into his eye and see how serious he was. What did she do wrong?

"Ohh, I forgot the man. I didn't mean to run, believe me." She pleaded but Alrando was not interested. He only had one deal and if she could take it, he would bring her badly to the bar. He looks at her and at her curves. They were just the right thing to please him well.

"I'll be in my office, come meet me when you're settled." He mentioned and walked away. Michelle felt relieved that she was able to escape Alrando and the fact that he pull his smile to his cheek made sure that he was alright with her.

She walks to his office, when she stopped by the locker room, putting on her apron. One of the best colors that she loved; Pink stripes with white touches. She stand at his door after panicking a little before she moved the black door to open. She walks in while making her whole movements gentle and precise.

When she enters the room, Alrando sits resting his back on the chair and placing his legs on the table crossed. His eyes were closed and she looked like he didn't want to be disturbed. Maybe she should come back? She thought, turning back when he noticed her step and coughed.

She stopped while her face cried that she wasn't able to escape swiftly. He stands to his feet immediately and walks to her.

"Take a sit." His voice was calm and very different from before. Michelle walked to the chair and he walked from her back, standing after for a minute while his eye measured her whole body side. When she sit he walked to her front and sit on the table before her.

"You asked me to come." She said when he was looking at her weirdly. I thought what happened yesterday was over. She thought looking at him like she was sensing something way off.

"Yes, I called you. We don't need your service anymore at the bar. So from today henceforth, I shouldn't be seeing you in those colors. I mean it's not like I asked you to resume. I only asked you to settle down and come to my office." He chuckled putting his mouth to his lips and going back to the chair he sat on earlier.

"Am sorry again for last night. What can I do so I don't get sacked?" She pleaded to pull her leg to the floor. This was the only thing pulling her whole life together and the only job that made her survive up to this day. If she leaves the job, where else could she go? She couldn't go back to the celebrity who wanted to marry her because he assume he had slept with her. One thing she knew was that she couldn't play with people's money or life even though she needed it and she knew she was good at that since it was her field after all.

She was very honest and cared about her reputation. What would people think when word gets out that she married Copper the celebrity because she had a one-night stand with him?

"Marry Edward Copper," Alrando said without hesitating.

"What!"
