One way

Chapter 3

Artemisia 

When I woke up , he was asleep on the side of the bed , he was facing me , he looked so hot asleep . I will not lie to you that I was not tempted to kiss him and touch his sexy abs . One touch wont hurt . I lent foward to plant a soft kiss on his lips. He moved and mumbled something . Probably not a good idea Artemisia . I checked the smart clock beside the bed . Its 6. 30am , I should get to work and not drool over my tempting boss.

I rushed to my room took a shower and wore my uniform , and tied my hair into a high neat pony tail. I looked at myself in the mirror the dark circles were no more , the fever had vanished , I was feeling healthy and stronger. I need to gather courage to ask my boss for permission to leave for Florida , one day would be okay .

I prepared breakfast , toast , bacon , eggs , and fresh juice. How will I ask him for permission? Besides having a crush on him , I feared him a lot .

Should I seduce him , no he will think am crazy , I have had wierd encounters already I wouldnt want to give him any ideas and reasons to fire my ass . He came downstairs okay Artemisia be calm relax and breathe in and out . He walked in . He looked as sharp as always , he was in a black suit , snow white shirt , no tie , black shoes and his golden rolex watch . How am I to ask for anything from someone that looks like a fine hot delicious meal at an expensive boujee restaurant the noble dine at.

"Good morning Artemisia , shouldnt you be resting" he said " Good morning sir , I am feeling well today ." I said blushing he smiled , that dimple again damn!

He pulled a chair but sat on the opposite chair .

"Please have a seat , join me for breakfast " he said as he gestured a seat for me in a respectful sweet manner. I sat . He served the meal on a plate for me and poured some white coffee for me . I was quite hungry , I began eating and sipping some coffee its like the drug gave me a strong appetite to eat . I looked up . His eyes stared at me , a gaze of mixed emotions not easy to know which it was.

"Sir , um ... I have a favour to ask... " I said . I needed to get this over and done with .

" please call me Enrique' , Artemisia " he said and smirked , ding! The dimple .

" would it be okay if I took a day of ... I need to head to Tampa Florida , its the anniversary of my parents death , I would like to visit their burial site." I said . He looked at me and sipped his coffee.

" Yes sure , no problem ,I can take you if its okay with you " he said . Well that was unexpected . Hes even offering to take me , this is so unreal my crush is being a crush a sweet crush .

" I dont mind at all sir , I mean Mr Crane ... thank you so much ." I said

"You are very much welcome Miss Andra , when would you like to go to Tampa" he asked biting the toast seductively .

"Tommorrow Mr Crane " I said . I expected him to look surprised instead he just said " no problem , tell me if you need some stuff along with it " he said .

" Thank you so much sir . " I replied excitedly .

Despite my boss insisting I dont work , I had to get cleaning I loved my job so much .

" hey sweetheart" Mike said .

" hey mike " I replied . I had just finished ironing .

" arent you supposed to take a rest " he said .

" am all good strong as a horse " I said .

" so how was your night , did you sleep well ? " he asked

" Slept like a baby " I replied and smiled .

" so what are you up to? I see your packing " he said.

" I am heading to Florida , its my parents anniversary of their death " I replied .

" Are you happy ?"he asked . I stood still frozen . That was an unexpected question , am I really happy? I have no one but my self , no friends, no parents , no boyfriend/ husband , I it was basically me and my fantasies that keep me going .

" its a wide question Mike " I said.

" Never feel like you are alone , Artemisia , my brother likes you very much " he said . Am I surprised yes! Maybe hes saying that to keep me smiling and happy that my crush finally my notices my existance.

"And I know that you feel the same for him" he said winked and left . Does Enrique' like me ? Is he saying the truth ? I have a huge crush on Enrique' I know I sound dumb but its like am starting to fall inlove with him just a tiny bit , my body responds to his presence , its too risky to fall inlove with the boss . I packed everything I needed . By seven thirty we should be taking off . 

" Artemisia , our flight leaves at seven twenty, get some sleep " he said after he gave me my drugs .

Enrique'pov

Mike walked into my study , welcome everyone to Detective Mike season three .

He sat down and gave me a blank stare as if expecting me to say something.

" so how was your night" he said.

" It was dope yours?" I asked .

" great  brother ,"he said . One ,two ,three.

" so I see Artemisia is planning to head to Florida with you ?" He said .

"  how did you know "? I asked .

" you told me " he said .

" when? " I asked

" just now " he replied.  He knows how to make me talk .

"  okay you got me , yes am taking her to Florida , she wants to visit her parents burial ground its their death anniversary I just want to be sure shes safe there " I said .

"  because you love her, why cant you just admit you like her a lot ,  Kate might have hurt you , Artemisia is different , give her a chance ..."he said and paused " before someone else takes her  " . Another man taking Artemisia , I cant fathom the thought .

"If I dont take her ... will you take her?" I asked.

" If I had the chance to take her , by now she would a mrs with a bump of my seed inside her,  why havent you asked yourself why an instinct told you to find her when she was sick  and had drowned , I know you , I see how you look at her  you  never look at Kate like that" he said  . As much as I want to disagree and dismiss him a part of me feels hes right .

****

After she took her drugs and fell asleep , I stood to watch her ,  will I make her happy , was Kate right that am selfish and cold? Is my brother right ? Will she love  me back ?  She was still making the moan noises , I couldnt help but laugh , I wonder if shes having a s****l dream or its just how she is when shes sick , does she moan like that during s*x , ofcourse not silly ! Shes a virgin .  I touched her soft hair . It was tied in a messy bun . Does she know how beautiful she is?  She must have a load of admirers.  The moan sounds coming from her were starting to get to my head , if I dont leave soon  I will start to have pervert ideas . I kissed her forehead ,turned the lights off   and left .

I  had a shower before going to bed . I couldnt sleep , all I could see was her face , her smile , her eyes . When I landed on her  ,   her moans playing in my ears  like a song on repeat . I was having a hardon that just wouldnt settle . I  never felt this way with Kate even if she stripped naked  ,why  am I comparing Artemisia to Kate?
