HANNAH
I groaned as I felt the cold on my feet. I pressed harder against the warm thing that was clinging to me.
"It's cold."
Some arms pulled me closer. "Don't be naughty."
I inhaled when I smelled the familiar masculine perfume. I slowly opened my eyes. I slowly looked up and saw the face of my beloved.
"Apollo?" I whispered. I looked at the place where we were.
I bit my lower lip realizing that we hadn't been going home and stayed in his office. I must have fallen asleep on his lap last night and he laid me down on the sofa. His suit was draped over me and his arm was wrapped around my waist. My thigh rested on his leg and my head rested on his arm.
I took a deep breath and I didn't realize that a smile was on my lips. I snuggled into his chest and took advantage of the opportunity. His breathing is still deep, a sign that he is still sleeping peacefully.
"Apollo, baby." I raised my hand and stuck my index finger to the tip of his nose.
"Hmm," he moaned.
"Good morning," I whispered sweetly.
"Hannah." I was surprised when he suddenly got up.
My back slipped on the sofa and I didn't realize that I was already on the edge. "Oh!"
Apollo immediately put his arm around my waist and pulled me so I wouldn't fall.
"Are you all right?"
I nodded. I sat down and dropped his suit on my lap. He also sat next to me and combed his messy hair.
"Hi. We slept together."
He looked at me and his eyebrows crossed. "What the f**k?"
"Apollo, what did you do to me? Am I still a virgin? You should marry me."
"You're still dressed, are you crazy?" He stood up and fixed the messed-up polo shirt. "You fell asleep last night and I didn't have time to send you home."
"You do care about me, don't you?" My eyebrows went up and down.
He sighed. "I just felt sorry for you so I let you sleep here."
I stood up and hugged his waist. "I love you, too."
"I should have thrown this witch in the river when I had the chance."
"It's too good to be true!" I said while burying my head on his chest. I can feel his hot body on mine.
"You stink!"
"We both stink! That's why we're meant to be," I said sweetly.
"You’re a crazy woman."
"Oh my gosh! You didn't deny it! You didn't! I'm going to kiss you!" I jumped up and down while hugging him.
He slowly pushed me. "Brush your teeth. I have a spare in the cabinet, then I'll take you home."
"Okay." I said, smiling.
I gave him his suit and walked to the bathroom. I saw on my wristwatch that it was only a few minutes before six o'clock.
After I fixed myself, I went out and Apollo occupied the bathroom. While I was waiting for him, I typed a message for my best friend Adonis to tell him what happened. I'm sure he'll be mad at me for my stupidity, but it's too late. When my phone lit up, I immediately looked at it.
From Adonis: Never do this stunt again. If you get pregnant before marriage, your paps will never forgive me.
I sent another message. ‘Got it, brother-in-law. Don't worry, I will pay for your tombstone. :)’
I took my eyes off my phone when the bathroom door opened, Apollo came out and the two buttons on his dress were undone and his necktie was no longer knotted and was hanging on both of his shoulders. I bit my bottom lip as I watched it.
"I'll take you to your apartment." He said coldly and removed the necktie from his shoulder.
"Okay." I smiled. "Love you."
He took a deep breath and shook his head. "Let's go."
We are walking out of his office. I clung to his arm and I was so happy that he didn't remove it. We took the elevator to the parking area. Apollo grabbed the key from his pocket as we exited the elevator.
"Miss Ramos?" We stopped walking when I heard someone calling me.
We turned around and my eyes widened when I saw who owned that voice. "S-Sir Zander! Good morning."
"You didn't come home?" He asked while observing my outfit.
"I... I fell asleep in Apollo's office," I said, blushing.
"Oh." A teasing smile appeared on Sir Zander's lips. "You're so fast, Miss Ramos."
I heard Apollo cussing under his breath.
"Good morning, Apollo. You're still gloomy as ever." Sir Zander greeted him, but the other man didn’t look amused.
"And you're still a trashy jerk as always."
"Bye, sir. I’m going to be late. You can cut my salary because of this, it’s all worth it." I waved to Sir Zander to say goodbye. Apollo started walking and I was swept away because I was clinging to his arm. He pressed the key of his car and looked at me.
"Hop on." It's a command.
I let go of him and opened the passenger seat door. He started the car and pulled out of the parking area.
"Why are you so quiet?" I broke the silence.
"Why are you so talkative?"
"Go ahead, Apollo. You're more attractive when you're naughty," I said, smiling.
We have arrived at the building where I live. I turned my head at him. "Come downstairs so you can get some coffee."
"I need to go. I have a meeting at eight," he said coldly while looking at his watch.
"Please?" I stopped when my cellphone rang. I looked for it in my bag and immediately answered when I saw that the caller was Adonis.
"Hello, Adonis?" I answered the call.
"Hannah—" My cellphone moved away from my ear when I heard something loud.
"What?" I said, but the words were slurring. "Hello, Ado? You're choppy. What did you say?"
I looked at Apollo and he was frowning as he looked at me. "Adonis? Hello, Adonis? Adoooonis. Adonis—"
I was shocked when Apollo took my cellphone from me. His eyebrows met again. He pressed the end call button before handing it to me.
"Why did you do that?"
"Get out." This is a strong command.
"Huh?"
"Get out, Hannah." He removed my seatbelt and his. Then he bent down to open the door on my side. I looked at him and saw the annoyance in his eyes. So that his annoyance with me wouldn't get worse, I went down.
I kept the door open. "What did I do wrong, Apollo?"
"Close the f-cking door. You pissed me off."
Oh, no. Don't let him say......
I grinned and suddenly his eyebrows rose. "Apollo, I'm sorry. Don't be angry. I didn’t know that it will make you jealous. He’s just my best friend."
His lips parted. My mood was celebrating seeing the reaction on his face.
"Drive safely, okay? I love you." I said sweetly before closing the door.
