The Rules for Lovers

Chapter 6

Amanda POV

We escort Beatrice when she decided to leave the island after she got my approval to have dinner with their family every weekend when we get back in New York. She won’t stop until I didn’t say yes to her invitation and now I need to start thinking for an alibi for the coming weekends so I could have an excuse. Soon as we get back to Luke’s office he hug me so tight and released his controlling breath, as if he’s being so relieved from whatever stress he’d been through.

“Sugar, thanks for saving me from mom. I know you’ll not going to let my mom grilled me and will help me to escape mom’s plan to date one of her friend’s daughter. Even though Kylie disagreed with this plan, I know you have the kindest heart to help me. By the way, you act so good that I almost forgot that you’re just doing your girlfriend role.” He said still hugging and swaying me at the same time.

“What plan are you talking about Luke?” I asked really puzzled.

“Ohh sugar stop acting, I told you you’re too good at it. So enough acting as my girlfriend now, mom is not here anymore. No need to pretend now unless you want it to be for real now.” He said while I’m still clueless on whatever he’s saying to me.

“Wait, what acting are you saying?” I asked him again.

“Didn’t Kylie and Fritz told you about my plan? Didn’t they asked you to come here and pretend to be my girlfriend in front of my mom?” I shook my head as a reply. I don’t know what plan is he talking about but I can’t tell him too that I came here out of jealousy when I heard someone called him sweetheart over the phone.

“So are you saying that you came here with your own will?” I slowly nod and couldn’t find a word to answer him.

“Ohh well, still a blessing in disguised.” He said then begin to shower kisses on my face.

“So tell me, why are you here baby?” He asked grinning. “Thinking I might be seeing someone? A woman? And.. doing… something?” He trailed with mischievous smile.

“Ahm, no! Of course not. I just got bored and.. and I thought you could help me.. ahm maybe you could show me around here.. I didn’t know you own a nearby hotel here, you didn’t tell me. Fritz and Kylie were both busy preparing for their daughter’s event so I can’t ask them to entertain me.. I mean to show me around. Yeah, that’s it.” I said stammering and embarrassing myself at the same time in front of this devil grinning guy.

“Aha, so should I accept your explanations?” He said, so sure of himself that I’m lying.

“What else could be my reason to come here?” I replied irritatingly.

I distance myself to him and sit at the far end of his couch, grab a magazine and start scanning its content. And heaven must be joking on me again, as I turn the pages my attention is being caught by the picture on it. A picture of Luke and a woman looking so sweet together. My blood boils and couldn’t hold my jealousy anymore, I slam the magazine on the table and saw him got surprised by my action.

“You’re such a player!” I said as I punch his chest. All he does is to accept my punches that I throw at him.

“Baby, why are you getting mad all of a sudden?” He asked.

“Don’t play innocent here Luke. I swear I’ll cut your balls if I get a chance to do so.” I said angrily.

“Whoa.. wait baby girl, what have I done?” He asked confused.

“You’re telling me sweet things but behind my back you’re flirting with anyone who’s wearing skirt. How could you? You’re so disgusting!” I blurted, out of my anger.

“Ohh, someone is getting jealous here.” The nerve of this guy to tease me even more.

“And so what if I’m getting jealous?” Wrong move for me again. I could see how his eyes glow as I mistakenly admit to him what I’m feeling right now.

“What makes you think that I’m pursuing another woman other than you?” he bravely asked me.

“I have my proof on that damn magazine!” I grab it and search for that particular page where I saw his picture with woman. As I saw it, I shove it on his face and punch him again.

After a while his loud laughter echoed inside his office. This guy is gone crazy if he thinks it’s a funny thing being a womanizer.

“What’s so funny about it?” I asked, I couldn’t control my irritation on him and my blood is boiling out of anger.

“Baby, are you sure you’re getting jealous with this young lady I’m hugging here?” He questioned me as if he’s not so sure about it.

“Stop playing Luke, you can see it with your very own damn eyes.” I’m getting more impatient here and all he does is grinned.

“Sugar, the magazine says Luke Anderson and Priscilla Tyler..”

“See? And you still have the nerve to deny it?” I cut him immediately

“Luke Anderson and Priscilla Tyler, the two cousins attended the grand ball in Madrid, Spain.” He read loud for me to hear.

“What? That’s your cousin?” Can’t believe I reacted without reading the whole context.

“Yes Love, strike two for you. You know I like it when you’re getting jealous. Makes me think that you love me that much too.” He pulled and hug me.

“What makes you think that I love you?” I stubbornly deny it and accept his hug.

“No need to deny it my Love. It’s pretty obvious the way you reacted the whole day. Lying is not your thing, you’re not good at it.” He suddenly lifts me and make me sit on his desk and stand in between my parted legs.

“What are you doing?” I asked, nervous and at the same time excited on what’s going in my mind.

“Shhh, relax Love. I’ll make you admit the real feelings you have for me without saying any word.” After that he kiss me passionately that made me instantly forget about my anger. All the frustration I have was vanished and all I can think is how I’m enjoying every touch of his lips to mine, while his hands expertly stroking every inches of my traitor body.
