YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM ME

THE RED FLAGS AROUND HIM

Bella's P.O.V.

Why on earth everything was awkward and... and... truly out of blue this time. I didn't know whether I would survive this trip or not. I wanted the ground to open up and sunk me down under the ground. At first that mind-blowing my first kiss on the plane, then he tried to kiss me again and then that towel incident... O God... what I was going to do to survive now.

"Bella", I almost jumped on my feet when he called me. I was still inside the bedroom as I was so embarrassed to face him right now. "Y... yes, Sir... coming", I yelled while patting my chest. I needed to play cool and nothing else. That was just a coincidence. He is just playing around to distract ourselves from the exhaustion that we were facing now from the past six months. I took a long deep breath and then went out.

"Serve the dinner, please", he said without lifting his gaze from a file that he was reading while sitting on the couch. The lines on his forehead were deep and I was sure that he was not happy with whatever he was reading right now. “What is it?” I asked him curiously and he didn’t answer me. It was my cue not to question him again. I went to the food trolley and brought the trolley to the table.

I took two plates and then started filling one of them. Sometimes, I felt like an old nanny who had to take care of 29 years old child. Could you believe if I tell you that I had to feed him whenever he was drowned in the work? You would laugh at me.

I went near him and sat down on the ground on my knees. I took a spoon full of food and asked him to open his mouth. He didn’t lift his eyes from the file and continued while doing his work. I fed him and made him drink some water after he finished his food. I then wiped his mouth with the tissue and then stood up from my place on the ground. My knees were hurting now being so long on them. But I couldn’t complain, could I? Only one thing that I needed not to do here was telling him a bedtime story. I then finished my meal and now my lids were heavy. I looked at him with a tired look and then sighed internally. “I will take some time more. You can go and sleep”, he suddenly said and I looked at him in disbelief. “Go, Bella…. Sleep now.. we have a very long day tomorrow”, he spoke again without looking at me and I was glad that he allowed me to sleep.

I yawned aloud and stretched my body. I was about to get from the love seat when I realized where would I sleep. There was no way that I would sleep in the bedroom and he was here sitting on the couch. Then where would I sleep? I facepalmed myself mentally. I had to wait until he finishes his work. “Why are you still here?” he asked me again and I looked at him while pouting. “You are sitting on the couch. Where will I sleep?”

“Go inside and sleep on the bed”, he still working and was talking to me without looking at me. “Then where will you sleep?” I almost yelled this time and he shot daggers on me. “Okay… I am going”, I immediately stood and took defensive steps towards the bedroom. I almost ran inside before he changes his mind.

I threw myself on the alluring bed and immediately drowned in the deep sleep. I was not worried about him right now. He was big enough to take care of himself. My dreams were calling me and I just wanted to grab them.

I opened my eyes slowly. There was something ringing in the background and I realized that it was my alarm. I took my phone from the bed near my pillow and off the alarm. I slept well but I wanted to sleep more. I wanted to stay a little more in bed but we had a meeting and I needed to look for my boss too. I didn’t know when did he sleep and it made me a little worried for him.

I tried to remove the cover from me but couldn’t. I felt that something heavy was around my waist. I looked at my waist and my eyes widened in shock. It was a hand. I immediately looked behind me and was startled and put my hands on my mouth to muffle my scream. My boss was sleeping behind me securing me in his embrace. “Sleep a little more, Bella…. It’s too early to wake up”, he spoke in a groggy but sexy voice making my heart skipped a beat. He pulled me closer to him and now my back was resting on his broad chest.

My heart was beating furiously inside my chest due to our close proximity. His touch was doing something to my body that was foreign to me. Why I was feeling anything like this? Suddenly he lowered down his head and snuggled into the back of my neck passing a jolt of electricity all over my body. Our legs were intertwined already and he intertwined our fingers on my waist. I felt thousands of butterflies flickering in my lower stomach.

“Bella… don’t make things harder for me”, he suddenly whispered into my ear and his hot breaths fanned my ear and the exposed skin at the neck. “I… I… did nothing”, I stuttered while moving a little away from him. He pulled me more and now he was almost over me. “I … I… need to go”, I uttered these words with great difficulty because my throat was completely dried now. “A few minutes more”, he whispered again and then I felt his lips on my nap making my body shiver in delight.

No… it was not good… he.. he was my boss for god sake… I was not a s**t who would lure her own boss. I immediately pulled myself out of his grip and ran towards the bathroom outside the bedroom. I didn’t look behind at him. I fanned my face as I felt so hot right now. I was breathing heavily and I didn’t know what my body was feeling right now. I was missing his warm embrace around my body. “Get a grip on you, girl… he is your boss”, I scolded myself and then took a few deep breaths.

I stripped my clothes and stood under the shower and ran cold water. I never felt like this for him before. I cared for him but didn’t crave for his touch or for him then what was happening now? I should consult the doctor once I go back to the home town. I could still feel his lips on the back of my neck and his hands around my waist. It felt so good but it was wrong.

I wrapped the towel around my chest and covered my wet hair in the other towel and came out of the bathroom. My boss was still inside the bedroom and all I needed to confirm was whether he was still sleeping or not. So, I tiptoed towards the bedroom and peeked inside. He was still sleeping. I took a deep breath and then reached for my bag inside the bedroom while clenching my towel tightly around my chest. I silently took my bed out of the bedroom and blew the breath that I was still holding.

I immediately opened my bag and took out my clothes to wear. I needed to hurry before now my hot and sexy boss comes out of the bedroom. In no time, I put on my clothes and smiled broadly as if I had won the first prize in a marathon. I was startled and jumped on my feet when I heard the door of the bedroom opening. I looked behind and found my boss coming out of the bedroom. He was walking with closed eyes. I immediately ran towards him and took his hand in mine. I took him to the bathroom and he followed me like an obedient child with closed eyes.

I shut the door and then looked up on the roof as if someone was there who could listen to my silent prayers. I called for the room service and ordered the black coffee for my boss and juice for me with a light breakfast. I then opened his bag and took the clothes out that he was going to wear today for the meeting. It included a black suit with a white tailored shirt for him with a matching tie.

“Bella… can you please pass a towel… there is no towel here”, I heard his voice coming out of the bathroom and my heart skipped a beat. I couldn’t imagine him naked but my traitor virgin mind was showing me images making me feel hot again. “Bella… towel”, he yelled this time and I took a deep breath. I took the towel that I used before and went near the bathroom door without lifting my gaze. “I don’t look this bad”, I heard his teasing voice when he took the towel from me and I shut my eyes tightly. He laughed this time and then closed the door.
