CHAPTER 15: ATTRACTION

The following day...

Blaze saw her step out of the room in a black official gown and he couldn't stop staring. He just got off a call with his sectary on a very urgent matter at work and it needed his presence. Either he goes to them or they come to him, it was how urgent it was even though it would benefit both parties.

Another call came up from his sectary again, but he was way too distracted by her unclad back. It was beautiful. Raya was having difficulty zipping it up, oblivious to the person staring behind her. Reaching the zip was difficult but pulling upwards was another story.

Blaze watched the struggle with an unreadable expression before quietly walking up to her from behind, gently he zipped upwards while being greeted by that lovely fragrance of Him on her. He was careful not to graze her skin even though he very much wanted to, he didn't want to come off as a pervert!

Blaze heard her whispered thanks and watched her move to the mirror to fix her hair.

Blaze picked the call.

Concentrating was suddenly a task... Since when did fixing one's hair become art? The way her hair flowed as it moved between her fingers and brush and kept rolling down to her waist was something worth an appreciation. By the time she was done, Blaze was still on call... physically...

"Can I have a moment with you?" Raya asked and watched as Blaze cut the call immediately.

"Um.. Am going for a house warming ceremony with grandma. She insisted that all the ladies of the house would go with her".

"Are you ok with it? If you're not you can stay home, I'll come up with an excuse".

"It's ok. I don't want to disappoint her". Blaze understood and didn't push her.

"Are you with your phone?"

"Yes"

"Good. Take this as well" He handed her a black card. Raya was stunned as she looked at him then at the black card.

"A... Am sorry but I don't think I need it".

Even though it was what he expected of her, he was still surprised that anyone would reject a black card. Just there, Raya earned his respect.

"Well I insist! I wouldn't want a situation where Mrs. Hillson doesn't have a black card in the mist of every other lady there". He said with conviction and slipped it into her palm which was so small in his big one, soft to touch with slender fingers and oval tips nails.

Blaze watched her hesitate while contemplating, finally she slipped it into her purse and made for the door.

As they were about stepping into the car, the ladies all gave their husbands a kiss and a hug while Raya tried to be as invincible as possible cos she was the only one without her partner but suddenly, Blaze walked out still on the phone with a serious expression on his face, when he saw Raya looking like a lost puppy he sighed and walked up to her. She looked up at him confused only to be wrapped in a warm embrace which surprisingly she felt safe... A peck on the cheek got her flustered as he pulled away and the cold air hit her...
