Caution When Swiping Right

Chapter 3

Katlin...

Waiting impatiently for Andrew to arrive. I overheard mother makes small conversation with one member of the board. "My girl is doing the right thing."

Rolling my eyes, I glance over to Aiden who was standing in the far corner.

Why is he here? Maybe Andrew made another deal with him.

The past year I fought so hard to keep my company. Never once gave up, but the stress of knowing Andrew will never let me be. I gave in. I didn't care anymore, all I want was to be away from all this mess I was in. Over months of battling for my rights, I thought the best idea was to take the offer Andrew had offered me.

My plan was to start my own business, even if the skincare dropping this summer meant the world to me.

My thoughts were brought back to earth as soon as the door opens and in walks Andrew, my eyes widen as I took in his appearance. He was black and blue, bruised to the point of recognition.

"Andrew, my god what happened?" Mother gushed as she stood up.

His eyes landed on Aiden who smirked before looking my way. Raising a curios eyebrow towards him he shrugs.

Did he do that to him, if so, bless those hands.

Andrew walks in and takes a seat, pulling it out before sitting down. "I had an slight altercation with someone last night. I'm fine, please everyone sit.

The members of the broad whispered to one another before the room became silent. Andrew clears his throat before stating. "As we all know, Katlin Macgomery and I had came to an agreement that she will sign off her share in return for 4.7 million. If all goes to plan then that is what we will be doing but I will like to make another offer if so kindly Miss Macgomery would listen?"

Andrew looks my way, waiting for my approval, I nod and he continues.

"I would like to offer back your entire shares til the end of this year so you may receive a profit of the née skin care line and fragrance you created that will be launching this summer. I know you worked hard and you deserve 100% of the outcome."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, baffled, without hesitation I said. "Yes, but I want out by the end of this year."

Mother dared to speak but I held my hand up. "100% profit and 5 million by the end of this year."

"As well as your fathers company," Andrew added.

I didn't know if he was playing me but I was willing to take my chances. "Father's company, 100% profit and 5 million dollars?"

He nodded angrily.

"I agree."

"Very well, an agreement has be made then I'll like everyone to sign as witness to this offer."

Members of the board chatted before all agreeing.

Andrew stood up before looking back at Aiden. "Have your lawyer contact me whenever she is done with the paperwork. I'll sign as soon as possible. Good day." He stated before exiting the meeting.

I watched everyone leave, mother decided to put her two cents in. "You should have taken the money. You know he will play you like a violin." I didn't care what she was saying, my eyes never left Aiden as he stood patiently as on member after another left. "Leave mother, I have something to do."

Mother huffs annoyingly before walking away. The only person left was him. He walks over to the door and closes it, turning around he leans back against the door.

"You did that to him?"

"Maybe."

His physique bugles out of his tight shirt. His hair grew a couple of inches since the last time I've seen him.

"Why?"

"Because you worked hard and it's your right."

"I was willing to sign."

"I know, a little extra buck doesn't hurt."

"What do you want from me Aiden? No amount of flowers or apology letter can fix anything."

"I have all the time in the world."

"I don't, you're wasting your time and mine as well."

He didn't respond back.

"Lost for words?"

"No, just imagine you on top of this desk naked that's all."

This time I couldn't reply.

"What? Lost for words?" He mimicked.

I stood up and walked his way. Reaching him, I was standing inches away. I would be lying if I said I didn't want him. He's all I thought about these past 3 months. To make it worst he'd send flowers and apology letters everyday. Show up unexpectedly, call in the middle of the nights, just to apologize.

"If only you knew how much I've longed for you. What hurts the most is that you don't remember me, do you?" He said a bit hurt.

"You mean the dinner party Andrew planned in Miami on the yacht?" I sighed deeply. "You were a few pounds heavy with a beautiful blond women wrapped around your arm all night. Andrew introduced us to each other before he left to indulge with a few female friends, leaving me all alone. That's when you left the women whom you had came with just to cheer me up. I've never laughed so hard in my life."

His eyes grew wider, a hint of happiness beamed through.

"I remembered you, very well, that's why I," I held my phone up and made a swipe to the right on the phone.

"I was playing with fire when I accepted and still am."

He licked his bottom lip ever so seductively. "Playing with fire can lead to tantalize emotions."

"Also it can lead to severe burning and agonizing pain." I whispered out as my body was craving to lean against his.

His eyes never seemed to stop staring into mine. "f**k me," he moans out. "you're so beautiful."

Knots formed in the lower part of my stomach.

"Thank you for standing up for me."

"Anytime beautiful." He steps aside before opening the door for me. His body moves in closer to mine. "I won't give up, as I said, I have all the time in the world. I'll wait." He whispered before placing a kiss on my cheek. "You smell amazing, bet you taste even better." Humming seductively before leaving.

I was so tempted to pull him back, but I just watched him leave. He turns around to look back once more before entering the elevator with two male acquaintances.

I really wanted him but maybe this isn't the time.

"Just focus on yourself first and if it's meant to be then so be it."

****

Andrew...

"I DON'T f*****g CARE WHO YOU FIND, KILL BOTH OF THEM."

Slamming the phone shut, the door to my office opens.

He thinks he can play with me, we'll see who has the last laugh Aiden.

"You won't be able to find anyone who is willing to kill me, but, if you do, and you succeed. My men will hunt you down and revenge my death." The c**k sucking bastered says as he roams my office. "You as think of hurting her, I will make your death is a topic for people to talk about for years to come." He finished off before standing before me. "She's has a special place in my heart, as long as this heart is beating. Not a single strand of hair on her body will be harmed." He leans in millimeters away. Death stare along with a wicked smile. "Don't f**k with me Andrew, understood?"

"What a shame to see how a woman can bring you to your knees Aiden."

He chuckles

"And I'll stay there until her moans could be heard by the entire state of New York."

"It's not that special." I replied.

"How would know? You couldn't even get your d**k up when she was with you. That's why you f****d other women."

"That f*****g b***h-"

"Ah ah ah, she didn't tell me anything. I just have my ways of knowing."

Chuckling to his remark, I knew he was in for a big surprise. “You have a lot to learn about Katlin, I’ve known her for three years now. If I couldn’t get it up as you say, it was because of her-“ I stopped midway of talking.

If he wanted her then he’ll have to deal with what she has to offer.

“You know what, she’ll let you know in her own way.”

Aiden looked taken back from remark. Satisfying as it seem to look at his curious eyes. More pity I felt for him.I knew he was going to become defeated.

“I want you to think why would I ever f**k other women when I had Katlin? She’s every man’s dream but you’ll soon find out for yourself, and boy are you in for a treat.”

A shove on the shoulder knocked me down to my seat.

“Final warning Andrew, stay away from her.”

I couldn’t help but let out a loud laugh as he stormed out the office.

‘You’re so f****d, I waited three years, only god knows how long you’d wait.’
