Laura finds it hard to sleep till daybreak, as the morning sun meets her while swimming in the enormous pool. Laura dives her head into the facile ends of the water, where she holds her breath for seconds, as all the images that surfaces her sight, is that of Adrian’s lips against hers.
Laura battles with her emotions, not knowing what to envisage in the latest development between she and Adrian, as to her it do count for something, considering her newfound feelings for him, but to Adrian she envisages to differ as it is well stated in their contract for such act to be avoided. Which takes Laura by perplexity as she is curious to know reason to why Adrian did kiss her. Is it for the reason of developing something for her, or as a manner of appreciation from him?
Laura takes her head out of the water, taking her breath to come heavy, while she runs a hand over her wet hair. “You swim well,” Laura’s gaze moves abruptly from the waters, to stare at the source of the voice that speaks to her, taking her to glance at none other than, Adrian whom has a smile on his lips.
“Everyday there is more to know about the infamous Laura,” Adrian adds, taking a scoff of chuckle to escape Laura’s lips at Adrian’s statement.
“Well, I am simple, you’re just slow to catch up.” Laura comments, taking Adrian to let out a laugh, one which takes Laura’s gaze to stare in amusement of the man wearing a black neatly fitted suit, whom stands in front of her. His laugh, his demeanor, his smile, and his word to her and even more entices Laura, as she stares back at Adrian.
“I see you are ready for work?” Laura question to Adrian seeing his manner of appearance.
“Yes, but I thought we should have breakfast together,” Adrian says.
“Are you certain? I will have to change,” Laura inquires from Adrian with a raised brow.
“Work can wait a little bit longer,” Adrian responds taking Laura to smile sheepishly, as their flirtations to each other is one the two enjoy. Laura nods her head in acceptance to Adrian’s words, before getting out of the pool, with her body and hair dripping with water.
Adrian’s gaze stay in mesmerization and enticement while staring at Laura’s exposed skin with the white bikini she wears, as when she turns her back to face Adrian in order to pick her towel, Adrian gaze goes to Lust while staring at her perky behind.
Laura wraps the towel to her body, while her gaze meets with Adrian whom she notices the darkening of his eyes, taking a smirk to cower her lips, whereas Adrian stares at Laura as though there is no other more beautiful than she is. Laura changes from her wet clothes, after cleaning her wet hair, which still appears damp, before she heads to the dining room, where Adrian already awaits her.
As usual, all kinds of nutrients of food is placed on the table, while Laura takes a seat opposite Adrian, before she begins eating.
“I hope you slept well?” Adrian inquires with his gaze glancing at Laura then his food, whereas Laura halts in her actions at his words.
“Uhum…I did.” Laura whom did not close her eyes for a maximum of two hours lies, as every time she does, she is placed in a fantasy room of she and Adrian romancing. Adrian nods his head at her response, one which he has no choice but to accept.
“I’ll be leaving for London tonight.” Adrian talks, as Laura’s gaze halts from her food to stare at him again.
“Tonight?” Laura drops the cutlery in her hand gently, while she inquires from Adrian, as he also has his full concentration on her.
“Yes. My apologies, I should have informed you sooner.” Adrian says, while Laura goes silent after his response.
“Well then, I bid you a safe flight.” Laura eventually speaks, whereas her tone comes dry.
“Thank you.” Adrian responds, while his gaze doesn’t falter from Laura whom picks back up her cutlery. “Will you be alright by yourself?” Adrian questions Laura with concern.
“I will. How long will you be spending?” Laura questions.
“A week.” Adrian answers as all Laura can do is nod her head, while a disappointing ache stabs her heart, and Laura begins to overthink. Adrian watches Laura’s actions closely, thereby noticing the disappointment in her face, whereas he also feels the same to be leaving her, when he realizes the addiction Laura is becoming to be to him.
Adrian continues to watch her, while she takes bites of her meal, as when she licks her lips, he can’t help but feel jealousy creep to him at her meal for having such close contact to her, while he recalls event of their previous night.
It is well aware to Adrian of the fact that things are changing between he and Laura romantically, and he is certain that Laura knows the same, while aware that what is between them will only last for a year. Becoming full by just the stare of the woman in front of him, Adrian drops his cutlery before cleaning his lips gently, before he gets up from the chair.
“I should leave now, for I’m running late.” Adrian tells Laura while she faces him. Not still getting a response from Laura than just a nod, Adrian walks to her, taking Laura to stare in perplexity of his actions. Adrian furthers, by squatting to meet Laura’s height while she seats. “I avery much recall what happened between us yesterday and I do not regret it. I’m not leaving because of that, neither am I avoiding you, so please have in mind that I will be back soon.” Adrian tells Laura, whereas her gaze turns soft at him, as though he can read her mind to know her thoughts.
“Alright,” Laura nods her head in understanding to Adrian’s words, with a smile invading her lips. Adrian returns her smile, before his hand goes to caress the skin on her cheek and taking the hair out her face.
“What are you doing?” Laura inquires softly, while she finds herself leaning into his caress, with her smile becoming sheepish, taking Adrian to chuckle.
“Nothing. I’m just having second thoughts about leaving someone as beautiful as you are by yourself.” Adrian says, taking Laura’s gaze to melt in his words.
“Aren’t you getting late?” Is all Laura responds to Adrian, as she attempts to control her heart from racing with Adrian’s touch.
“I am.” Adrian chuckles, before he gets up to his feet, while Laura also gets up.
“I’ll see you off.” Laura says, taking Adrian to nod excitedly. The two walk to the door of the mansion, as Adrian stops in his tracks to bid his final farewell to Laura. Taking Laura by stun, Adrian pulls her to him while wrapping his hands around her into a hug, and her own goes around his torso. Laura smiles even more as they pull apart, while she bites her lower lip gently taking Adrian’s control as he fights to withdraw himself from the sensual thoughts that cloud his mind. Instead of his thoughts, Adrian leans closer to Laura, as he places a kiss on her temple, for when he pulls away, he takes his leave, leaving Laura with butterflies that fill her stomach.

Laura chuckles loudly at Georgia whom makes sure she always make sure to show her character everywhere they go, as this time she tries a lingerie which she believes will be her size, after hearing from Laura whom tells her otherwise.
“You look hilarious,” Laura chuckles even more while staring at the lingerie which looks as though it might cut anytime soon and they will have to pay for it.
“It’s not funny Laura, it’s not,” Georgia stares at her best friend whom despite her words keep laughing, as that emits slight chuckles from Georgia herself.
“How is this my fault Georgia, I literally told you, you added weight and it wouldn’t be your size but you didn’t listen.” Laura tells her friend. “It seems David is doing one hell of a job,” Laura adds, taking Georgia’s gaze to go wide before a chuckle escape her lips blaringly, such that the others in the store turn to give them attention.
“Is that a dirty word I predict from you Laura?”Georgia stares at her friend in disbelieve. “Just what is Adrian feeding you,” Georgia adds, while Laura only rolls her eyes, but not before Georgia notices her best friend blushing. “Wait, do not tell me you’re f*****g him?” Georgia speaks as Laura’s gaze goes wide at her, which doesn’t just come blunt but loud.
“My God Georgia, keep your voice down,” Laura raises a brow at her best friend.
“You’re sleeping with him aren’t you? Oh my God Laura, you nasty…”
“For God’s sake Georgia, no I am not sleeping with Adrian,” Laura speaks, with emphasis on her words, before letting out a sigh at George’s behavior.
“Then why did you blush when I mentioned his name?” Georgia inquires from her best friend, while taking steps closer to her, such that not an inch remains between them.
“God, Georgia do you want to kiss me?” Laura pulls back. “What is wrong with you? Why are being so nosy?” Laura questions her friend suspiciously. “I know you are nosy, but you’re extra.” Laura adds, taking Georgia to go silent, as that gets a suspicious gaze from Laura. “Georgia,” Laura calls her best friend whom begins to act innocent, while steeping away from Laura. “No, come back here,” Laura pulls Georgia back to her, while using her hands on her shoulder to keep her steady as she towers her in height. “You’re pregnant aren’t you?” Laura states the obvious to Georgia, whereas Georgia sends Laura a sheepish smile.
“Oh my Goodness,” Laura beams with excitement. “You lying human being,” Laura hits Georgia lightly on the arm, as she winces at the pain. “How couldn’t you not tell me? You do not take me as your best friend anymore. I see you have found new friends.” Laura concludes, while taking her hand away from Georgia with a facade of a frown on her face.
“Oh come on Laura, I’m sorry.” Georgia pleads to her best friend. “I was going to, but your sharp eyes noticed it before I can. I’m sorry.” Georgia whom begins to feel remorseful at her actions plead with Laura, whom turns her frown back to excitement.
“Oh my God, we’re really having a baby. I’m going to be an aunt!” Laura giggles delightedly, taking Georgia to chuckle. “How far are you?” Laura inquires from her friend.
“Well I’m not sure yet, David and I just found out a couple of days ago while at Spain, so we decided that once I get here, I would go on an appointment.” Georgia tells her friend whom beams with excitement all through.
“Oh my God, I wondered why you looked thicker,” Laura says. “And nosy too,” she adds taking Georgia to roll her eyes.
“And hungry too.”Georgia includes, with a hand on her waist.
“Then let’s go and get food. We can’t keep the baby hungry.” Laura teases her best friend with a chuckle escaping her lips.
“I’m never hearing the end of this, am I?” Georgia slumps. “Now my special treatment is over.” Georgia adds.
“Are jealous of your unborn child already Georgia?” Laura teases her.
“Whatever, I’m going to change off from theses. I can’t breath.” Georgia says before leaving Laura whom continues to have a smile of excitement on her face.
Laura walks to pay for the items she and Georgia pick, while she receives a text from Adrian, causing her to smile sheepishly at her thoughts of him, until her attention is taken away when she hears her name out loud.
Laura’s gaze goes to widen, as gradually they begin harden, upon hearing the source to which voices her name, as she stares back at a particular man whom she never envisages of seeing again in her entire life. A man only known as her ex boyfriend, Harry Smith.
