Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve

Olivia

I knew he was asking to be polite, especially with the way he was looking at me. He had a fire in his eyes, he looked hungry. I guess the one night that we hadn't fucked was doing it for him. I also felt it. I was an addict when it came to him. But I guess he was the same in that sense. I bit my lip then took a sip of the juice in my hand, feeling slightly parched.

"He's good. How was gym?" I was guessing, but he did look like he'd been in gym. He had sweat on his chest and abs.

"Do you really want to know?" He asked. He was walking towards me slowly.

"What do you mean?" I was still gawking at his muscles.

"My face is up here Olivia." I then remembered to look up at his face when he said that. "You look like you want to devour me me whole, that's why." Then he takes my lips with his and slides his tongue inside my mouth. I loop my hands up around his neck and his hands go to lift me up.

"Want to join me in the shower?" He asks after kissing me like he's hungry for me.

"Might as well, you got your sweat all over me after all." And then he starts walking me towards his bedroom and to the bathroom.

One thing about his shower is that it can fit a party of five, so I know it's about to go down.

After our long shower and a tumble in the sheets, I'm wearing his shirt and we're in the kitchen.

"So tomorrow I'm going to my mom's house, remember what I told you about the Sunday cookout?" I say while we're having a snack.

"Yes, I remember. I'm also going to be meeting my brother tomorrow. Don't worry I won't be alone here all day." He says with a laugh.

"I'm really excited. It's been long since we've had a family lunch. Plus my mom wanted to see me." I say, the last part coming out low. Truth is my mom and I have always been close, but lately we've been distant. I'm always working and trying to catch up with my life these days so I know it's mostly my fault that we no longer are as close.

"Enjoy yourself then tomorrow with your family." He says.

Somehow our conversation is weird. We seem to be having an awkward time right now. I want to tell him about the apartment I found but I know it will make us more awkward, but maybe talking about it now will be better for us, if there is an us.

"So I found an apartment." I tell him, looking at him to see his reaction. He pauses midway of drinking his juice but doesn't look at me.

"Oh!" He says after a while then stands up and picks up his plate and stands to go to the sink. My eyes follow him around until he comes to stand behind me and turns me in my chair.

"Are you not happy here?" I smile at his question because it's unexpected.

"I'm very happy here." I answer him.

"Then why did you carry on looking for an apartment when you're happy here?"

"Because you never said that I must not look for an apartment. And you never asked me to move in with you." I say to him.

"I don't want you to move out, I want you to live here with me." He says and kisses me, his hands rubbing my back.

"First of all you're my boss, no matter the relationship status that we have. What is Julia going to say if she finds me here?" I ask curious to know the answer.

"I don't care what Julia says, I care about having you by my side everyday." His answer surprises and makes me happy at the same time. I didn't expect him to answer that way. Which makes me think that he sees me more than I expected.

"So you don't care what people are gonna say at work? About me or you?" I ask, although I don't care much, except that I will be on the rumour mill.

"I care but it's not going to change their perspective or what they think about us. Look Olivia, people are always going to talk, especially at work. I'm not going to keep you a secret, but I understand if you don't want people to know for now, but in the long run people are going to find out." He says as he pulls me to stand on my feet, and pulls me towards the sitting room to sit sit on the sofa.

"Ok, but I'm still moving into my own place." I really do want to stay with him, but I dont want to take a risk, our relationship is too early for all the eyes and ears from outside.

"If Julia coming here is a problem then I can tell her to stop coming." I shake my head no before he finishes that sentence because I know she will suspect something. Julia is that good. Her attention span is on another level, I'm not taking a chance on that.

"Thank you but that is not necessary. What's going to happen tomorrow if you feel like you don't want me anymore, where am I going to go then?" He laughs at my question. It's a genuine question. I know he will find someone else soon anyway.

"Aah, I see. You're feeling insecure. Fine get your apartment but you will be living here with me." He says so simply, I wonder if he is even hearing himself.

"I don't so Mr Osbourne. That's not how it's going to work. I'm moving out to my apartment. All my things are set to be taken there by Monday." I shake my head left to right with my eyes closed. When I open my eyes, he is smiling at me.

"Do you want to bet on that Olivia?" He ask me, taking my ching between his thumb and index finger and closes his mouth on mine kissing me before I have a chance to answer him.

I push at his chest because I'm still a bit sore even though my lady parts are tingling. I know him well enough now to know that he is going to want to fuck me right now. I stand up only to fall back down on his thighs. He's back in his sweat pants meaning I can feel his bulge poking my ass.

"Not going to work. And yes I'm sure. Jason I've already paid the down payment and I know my brother will want to know soon where I'm living. What am I going to say to him then? I know for sure my mother is going to ask me tomorrow."

"I guess I should go to lunch tomorrow with you and introduce myself." He says with such a straight face that I don't know how to answer him.
