Accept apologies in the form of cupcake or vodka

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Oh my goodness. Did he really apologise? Well, today is the day of full of surprises.

But I'm not gonna forgive him. Not that easily.

He let out a groan in annoyance before he spoke, "What I'd have to do for making you forgive me?"

Hmm..he's really trying his best to make me forgive him. Should I? he's manipulating you bitch because he needs you, remember? But after all of this he's still my boss and pay me very well.

For the heavenly days I lived in these past two years.

"I accept apologies in the form of cupcakes or vodka." I finally said getting bored of the agonised look he was giving me, and subsequently earning a broad grin from him.

Dear god, how someone can be sexy and cute at the same time?

"I'll give you both." He gave me a lopsided grin before his eyes caught something at a distant and his smile disappeared afterwards.

I frowned when he sat down abruptly so close to me generating tingles at my back. His redolent minty breath fanning over my lips making me hold my foul breath as I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of him. I held his gaze until his eyes travelled down to my lips lingering there longer than necessary until they returned back to meet my eyes and he suddenly broke the silence, "I think I just saw Erica.....at 3 o'clock." His voice was very deep and smoky.

I reluctantly checked my wrist watch to see it was still 2 o'clock in afternoon then how the hell he saw Erica here.

My brows knitted in confusion when I heard his muffled laugh, his eyes flashing amusement.

"I'm talking about direction." He amused, trying to control his laughter that made me flushed red as tomato. "—To your right." He pointed gesturing through his head.

Oh boy. Oh boy. I should start watching those undercover agents' shows in which they incredibly talk with their eyes and signs.

From the corner of my eyes I saw Erica spying on us with a binoculars and she had a company with her.

"Ryder is with her." I told Leo about Ryder's location next to Erica that made his brows knitted together.

"What is he doing with her?" He asked confused.

"I think they are planning something because Last week he called me and apologised." I guessed they were sceptical about Leo and my relationship that made them spying on us under this intense heat of sun.

"Hmm...they are not convinced with our pretend relationship." Leo murmured, deep in thoughts. "This isn't good. We have to do something before they realise that we're just pretending to get rid of them."

"What do we do now?" I asked absolutely irritated by Ryder's creepy gaze. Hmm I really don't want to go back to him.

Leo's eyes held me captive for a moment before they travelled down to my lips, and suddenly his lips curled up into a playful smirk.

"We'll do what real couples do." He whispered slowly leaning down to my lips making no attempt to hide his playful smirk.

Oh no. He's going to kiss me. Oh lord please help the poor creature in front of me after what's gonna happen next.

He was leaning in slowly but surely not even making an attempt to hide the mischievous smirk on his face. He probably had no idea about the struggle I was having in holding my foul breathe. I was damn sure my face was red as tomato, yet he didn't make any attempt to stop himself leaning further. His eyes were glued to my lips as if he was waiting for this moment for centuries to devour my mouth.

I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my mischievous boss and also pretend boyfriend releasing my foul breath, but I didn't want to let him kiss me too.  Oh god, I'd no other option but letting myself embarrassed in front of him.

Wait, I could push him too. If a girl don't want her partner to touch her or kiss her, she can push him away.

It's normal in every relationship right?

I placed my palms on his broad shoulders and gently pushed him away that made his brows snapped together.

"Let me kiss you, Jane. A few seconds kiss won't create any harm." Leo said, his voice was appealing that made me lick my lips. His eyes caught a sight of me while I was licking my lips and he again leaned in to kiss me but I stopped him as I put my hands on his muscular chest. "What are you doing? They are watching us." He gritted quietly.

"Sorry, Leo. But I can't kiss you." I protested, "For you it just a kiss but for me it's so much more—a feeling that you won't understand."

I saw his jaws tightened, a fact that he didn't like my reason. "Bullshit!" He muttered out angrily, "You think I didn't see you watching me with your lustful eyes." My mouth hung open hearing his blunt statement. "You were eye raping me Jane, just like other girls on the beach. So don't pretend like you don't want me to bent you over and fuck you like a whor—"

And then I slapped him.

My breathe were heavy as I stared at him with wet eyes waiting for him to come up with another apology so I could slap him even harder than before.

"Jane, I—" And then I didn't hesitate to slap him again on his handsome face. His eyes narrowed and he rubbed his red cheek.

I didn't wait for his another apology anymore as I stood up and ran towards the public washroom as I didn't want him to see me crying or let him know that his callous words hurt me to the core.

No one ever talked to me like this before. Not even Ryder.
