The Pregnancy Contract (English)

Chapter A.2.1

Chapter A.2.1

"What the hell, Fireus! What had you done to my neck?!" I almost shrieked when I saw the reflection of my face in the mirror after I took a bath in my condo and saw the marks on my neck. I called up Fireus and told him about this.

I heard his chuckle over the line of phone. "What? What did I do?" He sounds innocent.

"What did you put in my freaking neck?! Why can't I remove it?" I said, panicking, as I tried to remove the red marks on my neck. s**t! There are so many! I don't know how to erase these. Heck! I am f*****g panicking right now! I don't know what to do anymore with these red marks!

I heard his loud laugh over the phone. He is trying to annoy from his laugh. He knows I can't do anything about it. "Fireus!" I was so worried about these red marks. I forgot what this called for. I'd already forgotten. It sounds like 'hitch,' I guess.

"Yes, Cejay?" he asked gently and softly. But that made me annoy at him more.

"What do you call these shits you put on my neck?! Why can't I remove it?" I was gritting my teeth. This is f*****g problematic for me!

He laughed again. What's so funny?! Nothing, right? And I believe I didn't say any jokes from him. How come he kept on laughing when there is nothing funny to begin with?! "I just gave you hickeys!" he said and laughed heartily.

That's it! That is what I've been trying to remember. The word 'hickeys'! I remember!

But my blood boiled upon hearing that word. How would I hide these stupid hickeys? "You stupid s**t!" All I receive is his annoying laugh.

"How on earth could I remove them?" I complaint. Damn it, Fireus! He just f*****g gave me hickeys on the wrong time! I have to go to my office work today!

"It will take time for that to be removed. Try to use scarf instead to cover them," he said. I bet he was wiggling his eyebrows right now and grinning like an i***t.

If only he is right in front of me, I will not think second thought of punching him hardly.

"f*****g please, Fire! It's still July. It is so hot, then you want me to use a scarf? I am in here in the Philippines if you understand. I'm gonna be looked like a deviant one if I am in the office!"

"Then, try another option instead. Try to use your make up."

Bright idea! Fireus is right.

"Okay. I like your idea. Okay, good bye. You're annoying as ever. Tsk tsk." I just kept on shaking my head.

He chuckled again. "Bye. Would you mind if I do that again to you?" His voice sounds husky.

His voice was mesmerizing me! I have goosebumps all over! I giggled. My mind couldn't stop thinking green thoughs. "Just don't do it if I have work in the next day. Bye!" I hang up then I took care myself because I need to go to the office today.

I emerged out in my condo, walked towards the elevator and reached the ground floor. I walked towards the parking area where my car is located. I hopped in and switched on the engine of my car.

"Good morning, Miss Cejay!" greeted by the guard who was station to the main door of the building. I greeted him and smiled back. I'm still at main lounge and some of my co-employees were greeting me.

"Good morning, Miss Cejay!" They greeted me in unison. I greeted them all back before I entered in the elevator.

I walked towards my office and focused my attention to the bunch of paper works. I was hooked up from what I am doing by checking the quarterly reports when my phone rings.

I hissed. "Disturbance!" I got my phone and didn't look to who the caller is. "What, Jamster?! Your older sister is so busy right now! Did you call up because you troubled yourself again?! I tell you, I'm gonna cut off your allowance if that is your news!" I said angrily while signing the paper. I'm tired hearing that kind of news everytime he calls me. He is in his college days and sometimes he was in trouble, giving me some headache.

"Wow! Is that a 'me against the world' drama, Cejay?"

I froze. If I am not mistaken, this caller is... I checked who the caller is. It was Fireus! Damn it! "What do you want?" I said, annoyed. I'm busy and he must not disturb. I thought it was Jamster.

"High blood much, huh?" He chuckled over the line.

I sighed, calming my mind. "You're disturbing me, Fireus. Why did you call?" I leaned in my swivel chair and massaged my temple.

"You must be worn-out, huh? I call you up because..."

"Because?" Why is he prolonging our conversation?

"I have nothing to do right now. It's only you that I know I can disturb of." I rolled my eyes to his answer. Pretty nonsense.

"I'm going to hang up. Seriously, Fireus? I have some piled up work in her." And I need to finish them right away before they piled up like a mountain just like before. I want to add.

"Please, just spend more time. Just ten minutes please, Cejay," he pleaded.

"I can't." I sighed, surrendering. Oh please, Fireus.

"Please..." Perhaps if he is right in front of me, he would kneel in front of me. Fireus is a hard-headed even before I was still offering him my contract.

I sighed in defeat. If I won't indulge Fireus, he would just keep on nagging until I give up. He will keep on bugging me 'till I lose my temper, too. That is his forte. "Alright," I said and sighed, defeat. "What do you want to talk—"

"What are you doing right now?" I stopped from talking when I heard his husky bedroom voice that I only hear before, during and after we had s*x. I gulped. Don't tell me...

"Fireus.. Stop that!" I warned him and suppressed my smile. I felt goosebumps already. I don't like his tone but at the same time I like it. I felt my insides getting giddy right now.

"What? I didn't do anything. I'm just asking you." I felt chills down the spine. I knew that tone. I really knew it.

"I don't like the tone of yours," I lied. I bit my lower lip bcecause what he is doing right now made me feel so horny.

"What tone? I don't know what you're talking about."

I let out a huff like I'm about to laugh. "You're just making yourself hard, do you know that?" I asked in sultry pitch. If he's gonna seduce me, he must make sure that I will be seduced in any way. Okay, it's my turn to turn the table.

He silenced over the line. I smirked. You're gonna eat your words, Arrieta.

"Oh, why did you fall silent, Fireus? Did I say something that offends you? Huh?" I asked, grinning. I just hope he was imagining right now. I also hope I am seeing his reaction right now.

I heard his groan over the line. Then he chuckled. "Nice try, huh."

I laughed. "What now? Did that work? Did I make you hard now?"

"Yes!" he said, almost shouting. "And I hate to admit it that I want you right now, Cejay. f*****g s**t!" I chuckled at his reaction right now. It's like I could almost see it.

"Uh-huh. Right. You started it so I'm just finishing it what you have started. Hmp!" I snorted.

I heard a knock from the door. "Miss Cejay..." It was my secretary. She entered and bowed her head to me.

"What is it, Trina? Is there any problem? What's that panic expression?" I set aside my phone, leaving Fireus for a moment, not hanging up.

"Miss Cejay, there was a problem between the Accounting Department and Purchasing Department."

"What?" I stood up in no time. "What happened?"

"The two managers didn't get along and have argued. They didn't receive any purchase requisition. Even the invoice approval, so many mistakes and errors have been discovered by our internal auditor. They didn't manage properly about the record-keeping. Steps in approving are not omitted."

"What the hell!" My knees weakened as I fell in my chair. This can't be happening, can be? I sighed and think straight then looked at Trina. "I want you to make an urgent meeting to the managers of all departments. Even the financial department and marketing department. I have to deal with them. Right now, Trina. In 10 minutes, I want all of them in the conference room," I said angrily. Trina nodded and disappeared in my sight.

I slammed my hands on my table. "This would take us a couple of weeks! Bullshit!" I took a very deep breath and calmed my nerves. I called the CEO's secretary. "Connect me to the CEO's intercom now," I said seriously, to sense her that this is urgent.

"Wait for a sec, Miss Cejay." I nodded even though she couldn't see my reaction.

"Yes, Ms. Canedy? If this is all about the urgent meeting you have call, then I have to say deal with it."

I massaged my temple. "Yes, I know that. I just want to say it to you. Well, just in case you're not going to yell at me," I joked.

He laughed over the line. "Just like the old times, Cejay."

I hissed. "You little s**t, don't remind about the things I did before." I rolled my eyes.

"I haven't said anything."

"I'm already guessing it. Duh!"

He chuckled again. "You knew me very well, huh."

"Yeah!" I chuckled. "Ciao!" I ended the call.

"Who is that?"

I flinched when I hear Fireus' voice on my phone. I checked on it. I was surprised that he hasn't hang up from the call. "Fireus? I thought you already hang up? Y-You heard everything?" I don't know why I became nervous all of a sudden. I just felt it as if I made something wrong.

"Yeah." His voice is breathless. "Everything. I heard you talk with your CEO." I was confused a bit upon hearing the mono tone of his voice.

"Uh..." What would I say? Should I explain? "Fireus..."

"Hmm?"

"I want milktea." After what I said, my secretary entered after she knocked three times.

"Miss Cejay, someone delivered this to you." She placed the milk tea in my desk as I brightened up and shooed Trina away.

"That was fast!" I said, laughing to phone when I found out Fireus hasn't hang up yet.

"I'm already expecting it. That's why before I made a call to you, I made sure your drink is on your way."

I smiled. That was so sweet! "So, how will I pay you, huh, handsome?" I toned down my voice into sultry pitch in which he likes the most.

Fireus took him a moment to answer. "Hmm... just spend a night with me later. It's fine with me." I could sense how naughty he is now.

I frowned when I remembered something. "I'm sorry but I can't have time to spare with you later, dear. You heard our conversation with my secretary. We have problems to deal with right now. I will not be seeing you for a couple of weeks."

"What?!! A couple of weeks?!"

"What? What's the matter, Fireus?" What's with your reaction? Why does he need to shout? That was a pain in my ear!

"How about you? You mean I can't see you for weeks?"

"Yes. Why? Is something the matter?" I asked, confused a bit.

"Is that a punishment, Cejay? Do you have any idea if I can bear no s*x for weeks?"

I silenced and analyzed what he said. Then I formed a smile. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling. "But... I have a heavy job to do right now. I can make up to you once this problem is done." I explained. I need to take matters about the problems here in my office. The CEOand the Board of Directors will be mad at me if I didn't find any solutions for this matter. I frowned.

"How... How about me?" His voice fainted.

I massaged my forehead, 'don't know what to do with him. We had a deal. For me, it's not a big deal to see with him for weeks. But I think Fireus and his groin.

"Are you going to look for women to relieve yourself, Fireus?" I asked. A sting of pain strikes me. I knitted my forehead. Why would I even feel that?

"No! Of course not! I am following our deal—our contract. I have no plans to breach it."

"You sure?" I asked, not sure if he's telling the truth or not. I couldn't be sure if he is gonna look for his new f**k buddy while I am away. Thinking about that, I want to slap him already.

"I won't. I tell you!"

"How will you handle yourself now I'll become busy for weeks?" I asked, worried.

He silenced which made me nervous. He might try to look for a new woman for his relief. Try to breach our contract and he will see. I am gonna kill him and make sure his groin is not alive anymore so he couldn't pleasure other women anymore.

"Then I will wait you 'till you relief me, Cejay," he said through gritted teeth like he was already having a hard time not be able to relief him without me relieving him.

I felt relief from what he said. "I have to end this call, Fireus. Be truthful to your words or else..." I paused for a moment, which he knows what I mean.

I heard him taking a long sigh. "f**k, I'm going to have restless nights," I heard him muttered under his breath. "I will. I am not gonna look for other woman but you."

"Good. I'll see you soon." I ended the call with a smile in my lips.

Just like what I am expecting from the smallest problem because of that stupid purchase requisition which the two managers made it as a big deal, we slowly fixed it. Even the invoice approval which our auditor found it as his problem, we also dealt with it.

I also took night shifts even since that happened and spent my time helping those employees who also sacrificed for night shifts because of this simple problem that grew to a big one every day passed by.

I admit every week has passed and as night shallows, I could smell the faint male scent of Fireus. I always looked for it every day and every night, just before I sleep. I was used to sleep beside him. I always smelled us. Smell of after s*x. I slept every night on his condo and he'll bring me home at dawn. That was our daily routine until this problem showed up.

I drank the coffee 'till its last drop. I shook my head. Let's focus for now, Cejay. You will be able to see him once this problem had been taken a precaution.

"Too busy to be true, Cejay."

I glanced up and I have eyes-to-eyes with the CEO. I furrowed my forehead and glared to my wristwatch. It's already 10:32 p.m. "What are you doing here, Phil? I thought you already left," I wondered. I cracked my fingers when I felt how tired I am.

He smirked. Then I noticed the things he was holding in his hand. He was holding a cup and I could see the smoke coming from the hot coffee. "Is it bad that I am here, Cejay?"

I arched my brow while smiling. "Nope, it's not. I can't see any details."

"What's up? I'm not used to it seeing you here for weeks, eh?"

I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry. Everything will be fixed soon. And my back is aching. I need more sleep." I huffed and massaged my temple. I was also having some headaches due to lack of sleep. I'm so deprived from it for the last weeks.

"Poor, Cejay. You don't have to do it if you can't. I'm here. You can ask some help from me. I could give help." I smiled from the thoughtfulness of Phil.

"Nah. Thanks but no thanks. You know that between us, you are way more busy than me. I won't spend time going abroad like you, like you always does."

"But you already experienced it." Amusement was visible to Phil's eyes.

I shooed him by using my hand. "I know. Scoot now! You are disturbing me!" And so, he did while laughing. I just rolled my eyes.

Days had passed, the torture weeks became normal again. I timed out at quarter to seven. I even coincidentally went out with an employee who came from accounting department. He is a guy and he was telling me stories of how on earth they managed to survive those torture weeks.

"You have no idea, Miss Cejay. Mr. Villegas had been torturing us for those weeks. I always went home late at night during those weeks. My wife is getting furious about me going home so late. She thought I am having an affair with a woman." He scratched his nape while having a wry smile.

I laughed. Then it hits me. That reminds me of Fireus. I hadn't checked him for a while. In spite of I'm too busy. "Call Mr. Villegas. Tell him he should explain to your wife to erase the doubtness your wife is having," I laughed.

"I already did, Miss Cejay. But still she didn't believe it," he said, frowning. I laughed so hard upon knowing that information. Must have been hard to have a spouse! His wife is freaking jealous. Luckily, I still don't have the plans to marry myself with someone yet.

"Mind if I interrupt you two?"

We both stopped laughing when someone spoke behind us. We both also turned around to check that someone.

"Fireus?" I asked, surprised. I covered my mouth with my hands seeing him right now. What the hell! I want to yell. What on earth is this?

Why is his hair disheveled? And he has dark circles in his eyes. It's like he hasn'y slept for days. He looks so heavenly devastated.

"Ma'am, I should go." I just nodded and didn't mind the employee leaving. I was too mesmerized at his sight.

I walked closer to him. "What happened to you?" I asked softly and ran my hand on his face. Gosh! I missed Fireus! Super. I haven't seen him for weeks.

I was surprised when he jerked my hand away from him. "Who is that s**t you are talking with?"

I c****d my brow. "What's your problem?" Those are the only words that escaped from my mouth. I was shooting him a glare. Instead of being happy to see him, I was so fully annoyed at him right now just by seeing and feeling his presence. Is this how he wanted to greet me after we hadn't seen each other for weeks?

He stared at me for a minute then he winced his hair using his hands. It's as if he is so frustrated right now. "Ugh! Nothing! Let's go!" He took my hand and walked out in my office's building.

"Wait up! Slow down, Fireus!" I complaint. He was dragging me and leading me to somewhere hell that I didn't know. I'm still wearing heels. So, it's very hard to catch him up.

We walked towards the corner of the street. There, I saw his car parked in it. I caught up with him by running so fast. Darn it! Then I saw his grimed expression that I haven't seen before. I automatically formed a smile after seeing his smile right now. We both stopped on his car.

"Get in!" he ordered which made my brow arch. Is he really ordering me? But despite of that, the smile on my face hasn't been melting seeing how devastated he was right now. He opened the door of the passenger seat and his forehead was creasing like he has some temperal right now.

I threw my bag inside his car and shut the door of his car then turned to him. Looks like he was shocked and surprised to my action. He was about to speak when I placed my hands on his shoulders and pushed him to lean on his car. Then I kissed Fireus without a warning and I felt him frozen from what I did.

The moment my lips was pressed against his lips and I closed my eyes slowly, he possessively encircled his arms on my waist and hungrily kissed me back. Now, I proved my theory. I was so happy upon knowing it right now.

The way he kissed me sent a message that he was so hungry for my kisses and I just clung to his neck as a response for that. I missed his wild kiss. I'd been dreaming this for a couple of weeks I wasn't with him. Now that he was kissing me hungrily like there was no tomorrow, it's like my wish had come true. He stopped kissing me for a while but our lips were so close to each other, almost touching each other. We catch up to our breath. I haven't catch up for my breath when he kissed me again. This time it was so wild, hot and arousing. I could feel his hands roaming around my body. Heat and sensation raised in my body. I flinched and gasped when he touched my ass. I cussed in my mind. I didn't stop kissing him because honestly, I don't want him to stop kissing him. I groaned when I realized I was leaning in his car already. How could I not feel that he pushed me towards his car, huh? I could feel his hardness below my tummy. I want to gasp upon feeling how hard he is right now. But it couldn't escape because Fireus was hungrily kissing me as I was kissing him back.

The sensation I am feeling right now was I only felt this only to Fireus and Fireus alone. His kisses made me crazy. I want to crave more and more. I don't want to stop each other from kissing.

Closing my eyes, I felt him leaning his forehead against mine. Our chest were rosing up and down, catching our breath because of the hot and passionate kiss we shared. I slowly opened my eyes and found his eyes close. He was so close and it was so addictive smelling his own breath fanning in my face.

"Shall I take you right here, Cejay?" he asked in his seductive voice which made me have goose bumps.

I was about to answer 'yes' but he shut me up by pecking my lips. Then he put some distance and opened my eyes. I met his wonderful eyes. "Don't answer it. I'll take it seriously," he said seriously. Later on, he smiled. He kissed my lips again. Then, held my face with his hands. "God, you don't know how much I missed you." I smiled from what he said and how vocal he is to his feelings for me. I closed our distance to kiss him open-mouthed. He groaned at my sudden action.

"Don't do that again. I am serious, Cejay. We will do it right here and right now if you do it again without a warning. I swear."

"You know I am fine with it," I said, smiling and challenging him. I don't know why I said that. It just slipped in my mouth. I have no plans to revoke it.

He closed his eyes tightly and took a sharp breath then looked at me. I smiled mentally. I won! He shook his head. "Go inside before I will change my mind, Cejay," he said as he opens the door for me. There was a frustration in the tone of his voice.

I grinned and hop in his passenger seat. "Thanks, handsome," I said, facing his bulging pants and slightly touch it. He irked. I was the one who closed the door of his car when he was about to lunge me. Whoa! Easy, boy!

"Your place or my place?" Fireus asked when he entered in the driver seat and started the engine of his car.

I took my seatbelt and turned my head at him. "My place," I said and winked.
