"In to My Life"

Maybe because she loved the feeling of thinking about someone else in a special way had made her act this way or it was what happened between them. She couldn't stop her thoughts from running around in her head.

She got up grabbing her bag Camilla walked away from Chris.

But before she could get away from him Chris held her hand stopping her.

"What's wrong did I say something to upset you ?" She could feel the softness in his voice and the concern in his eyes.

Why was she feeling bad seeing him worried for her like that? Her body wanted to hold him but her brain was confused by the emotions running through her body.

She felt nauseated, losing her balance, "Hold me " he heard her mutter.

He held her in his arms and lead her back to the couch. Camilla could feel the sound of his heartbeat as she stayed still in his arms. The scent of Chris's cologne assaulted her nostrils.

Chris's hand pulled her face close to his face.

"Camilla I wish I could tell you everything but I can't. All I want is for you to trust me " he whispered.

Their faces were so close his breath brushed against her cheeks making them blush.

"You appeared into my life without warning and turned it upside down. I don't even know what am doing anymore ...."

"It's you who turned mine upside down " Chris kissed her neck.

" Why would I trust you when I can't even trust myself " Camilla cried

Chris's lips moved from her neck to her lips silencing every thought Camilla had in her mind.

"Why do you keep kissing me without my permission and then ask me to trust you," she asked after he let her go.

Chris chuckled

"Am sorry but I can't seem to keep myself from kissing you, but I promise to ask the next time ".

She moved back, " So you expect to be the next time ?"

He nodded.

Camilla laughed turning away from him. Her mind seemed to have calmed down.

"Should we head home now ?" he asked.

"Huh..what about your work ?"

"I was done when you came in " he lied.

He excused himself and walked out leaving her alone in his office.

"I won't be attending the next meetings so cancel them till Monday," he told his assistant.

Not waiting for his reply Chris walked back to his office.

"Let's go " grabbing his coat and then her bag he walked to the door.

"I can hold that myself " she tried pulling it away from his grasp but he seemed set on carrying it.

His other hand grabbed hers as they walked out of his office.

Stopping outside his assistant office again. " Clean the mess inside my office," he said then walked away leading Camilla to the elevator.

Looking down at their entangled hands, "Why are we holding hands again?". She asked.

Not answering her question Camila felt his hold get tighter.

He was afraid that if he said anything that disrupted the moment he would never get it again. He was scared it was all a dream and when he woke up it would all be gone.

He had yearned for such days and he wanted more but couldn't force her to remember. She was already confused about why she was so concerned about a stranger. He knew he wasn't a stranger but to her, with all her memories gone he was nothing other than an ex-classmate.

"Where did you park your car ?" he asked.

Following her, they got into the car.

Chris drove them back in silence as he stole glances of her from time to time. Noticing how she played with her figures like she was thinking about something.

"You never lost that habit," he said.

"Which habit?" she asked.

Chris pointed at her hands, "You always did that when you were nervous or thinking about something " . he said.

Camilla stared at Chris for a moment with curious eyes. Who was he? How did he know she had such a habit ?.

Her brain was already confused at how much she wanted to be next to him that it failed her.

"Have you been stalking me ?" she asked.

Chris chuckled hearing her question. Of all the things she could think of, that was the best she could come up with.

He didnt answer her question and continued to drive. More curious Camilla asked if he wasn't going to answer. He nodded.

He helped her out of the car after he parked in the parking lot. But before they walked off Camilla heard her name being called.

It was Ray.

"Chris" Ray glanced at the man standing next to Camilla.

"Ray, what are you doing here ?" Camilla asked.

"Can I talk to you?" he said.

Chris left them alone and headed to her apartment.

"What exactly are you doing ?" he asked.

Camilla was silent, not sure what to say to her friend.

" Am not sure anymore if I know you. Your acting so weird and out of place it's making me worried "

Camilla scoffed, " You think I don't know that..."

Ray pulled out his phone opening something he shoved it in her face.

"Tell me why you're the hot search in all entertainment topics? "Ray asked.

Camilla looked down at his phone and noticed images of her in the same outfit she was in now walking next to Chris.

" These were taken today !" she grabbed the phone taking a closer look at them.

"Yes, exactly and it looks like you both are close " Ray pointed at the images showing Chris holding her hand.

She could see how everyone was wondering how the famous chef Camilla Smith got to know Chris Huntsman the billionaire businessman.

"This is bad " she cried.

"Ohh, so you know now. You would have thought of that when you left me behind to go take him lunch " Ray angrily let out.

"Am sorry about that but I didn't think someone would take our pictures and post them" she cried in confusion.

"Then fix this, you better go upstairs right now tell him to leave your house and life so you can go back to your peaceful perfect life, " Ray told her.

She nodded. Camilla hated being the center of attention that even after she became a famous chef, still kept a low profile.

"Mom is going to kill me if she finds out," she thought leaving the elevator.

Ray was right she didn't know Chris or anything about him but stupidly allowed him into her home and life, turning it into something she didn't know anymore.

She walked into her home welcomed by her black cat who had been waiting for her patiently at the door.

Getting him from the floor into her arms she moved to the living room.

"Chris can we talk ?" she said.

Chris walked out of his room changed into a black T-shirt and sweat pants.

"About ?" he asked taking a seat.

"I think you should leave my home right now "

Camilla noticed his face lose his smile as his eyes turned curious.

He got up walking to where she was, Camilla moved back sensing the coldness emitted from his body.

She felt her back hit the wall realizing he had her concerned. Meeting his now cold dark eyes Camilla found herself stammer.

"Why exactly do you want me to leave your home ?" he asked.

"Because I don't think what you and I are doing isnt right," she said.

"And why is that. Your a single woman and so am I ,we are not in wrong are we ?" his eyes stared into hers like he could see deep in her soul.

" You make me feel like a can break all the rules that I set myself to follow. And my body keeps yarning for you that it makes me think am going crazy " she breathed.

"Then let me drive you crazy " she heard him say as his lips pressed on hers hungrily.
