"Tell me Leonardo; are you in love with me?" Ema asked him and she anticipated him giving her an honest answer.
If Leonardo was going to be honest with her, he would have told her an outright no, he felt nothing for her, and she was nothing like Alisha.
"If I do not feel anything for you, do you think I will be here?" he asked her, since he was not going to be honest, he decided to simply return her question with a question, it was better to avoid her question.
"You and I know that it is possible for you to be here even if you have no slight feeling for me, especially if my father put you up to all this"
"You give your dad so much credit you know"
"Well he considers you a more ideal partner than someone like Joe."
"Is that his name? the man you were with last night?"
"Yes, that was Joe, I love him but I am afraid it doesn't matter what I feel, my dad will never approve of him."
"Does your dad know about him?"
"No, and it's better he doesn't, the moment he finds out, he would not want me to be with him ever again, I don't know what dad would do to him to make him disappear and leave my life for good."
"Marry me Ema"
"I don't understand you, with all I have just said, all you can say is to ask me to marry you?"
"Yes, marry me."
"Why, and don't you dare lie to me that you love me."
"Well, marriage will be good for both our families and business."
"So that is what all this is to you? Business? You are just like dad."
"I'm sorry, but I thought you wanted me to be honest."
"Yea, but hearing it still hurts you know."
"Would you rather be with Joe even if you know it might never work out, or you can make your dad happy by accepting me, and while he is not concerned about you going for less ideal men, you can still be with Joe."
"I am finding it difficult to understand you."
"I won't stop you from being with Joe even if we plan a wedding together,"
"Why? I think that is a very disrespecting thing to say to me."
"I'm sorry you find it disrespectful, but I know even if you get married to me there is a high chance that you would still want to be with someone who makes you feel loved."
"I think we are done here, you can go ahead without me, I don't think I am ready to return back with you."
"That's fine, I will be leaving later today, but think about what I proposed and call me when you reach a decision."
Ema had nothing to think about, she would not want to be with a grumpy man who thinks he is doing her a favor by asking her to marry him. She was Ema Catillo, not some random girl out there.
Leonardo sat in his office on a Monday, he was yet to hear from Ema, and had decided not to push her further until she was ready to make a decision, he needed her name, but he was not so desperate to lose his dignity by begging her to marry him, he was worth more than that.
The ringing of his office line, made him shift his focus from the document he was viewing on his Macbook.
"Yes?" he said into the receiver.
"A woman here would like to see you, she does not have an appointment, but she said she can be of help to you for something you really need, she said her name is Sophia Adams" his secretary said into the phone.
"Let her in" Leonardo said and dropped the call, he was interested in knowing what Sophia, Alisha's mother was doing here. He had not seen her since he and Alisha made a trip to San Francisco when she had reappeared, he wondered what she was doing here, and if she thought, he was still with Alisha. Well legally, there were still together.
"Hello Leonardo, it's a pleasure to see you."
"I'm afraid I can't say the same, why are you here?" he was going to be straight and direct, he didn't want any of Alisha's family members bothering him, he had enough issues already.
"I know you are looking for Alisha, I can help you find her."
"I'm afraid I am not looking for her to get back with her."
"Yea, I see you are going out with Castillo's daughter, I'm also trying to get Castillo himself to my bed, but put that aside, I can help you find Alisha and even incriminating evidence incase you want to have something to hold against her."
"Something like what?"
"Let's say she left you because she found a richer man, I could help you with evidence that can proof she was cheating on you while you two were still married."
"Why would you do that? What kind of a mother are you?"
"Well, I am financially handicapped at the moment, so I am doing all this for a prize."
"I don't think I want to have any sort of dealings with you at the moment, not just you but anyone related to Alisha."
"I can understand that, any woman in her right senses would not think of leaving you, well except she meets a man more better than you, and if that is the case with Alisha, then I must say I am proud of her and she took a great deal from me."
"I am much occupied at the moment, if you've said all you need to, can you please leave?"
"Sure, I am on my way, once I have her address I will see you again, just know it won't be free." Sophia said and left his office.
He knew Sophia would be more effective in getting Alisha's location, he was interested in getting her feedback on it, but he had to act interested, if he gave her a slight hint that he was interested, she was going to manipulate him, and try to get an unreasonable amount of money from him.
"Adams" Sophia called out to him as she entered the bakery.
"Sophia what are you doing here in California?" he asked in surprise
"I have missed you and the girls, where are they?"
"Let's go to the office" he said and led the way, he did not want a scene in the bakery as they were some customer in the bakery."
He shut the door when they were both in and offered her a sit.
"Sophia, did you come here for money?" he asked her knowing she only appeared when she was lacking financially to meet her needs and extravagant lifestyle.
"I want to see the girls, but you most especially"
"I don't think I want to listen to your lies Sophia" Adams said knowing she was up to something.
"I'm sorry you think that about me, but it is all different now, I know I said that the last time, but it's true now, I missed you Adams, all those men I have been with are nothing like you, now I understand why it was you I fell in love with." She said and came towards him, she moved his chair and came to his front. She placed her hand on his loin and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
It has been year, but she still knew how to manipulate him. She knew how to get him vulnerable for her.
"Sophia, please leave" he tried to sum up some courage.
"Are you sure you want me to go away? We could go to the house to talk if this place is not convenient, and after the talk if you still don't believe me, I will leave you alone for good."
Adams felt she really wanted to have a talk, so he agreed and drove them to his place. The ride home was quiet, he kept telling himself he would not be moved by her lies or be deceived by her this time.
Sophia on the other hand was plotting her play in her head.
"Please come in." he opened the door for her and shut it when she was in.
"What would you like to have?" he asked her
""You know what I like, please show me to the restroom."
He pointed towards the door of his room, while she was gone, he went to the fridge to get a drink for her.
She came out a moment later in a lingerie. Adams mouth was wide open as she approached him. Who would have thought she had lingerie underneath the gown she was wearing earlier.
"Thank you" she smiled seductively and took the drink from him.
He watched her as she drank and watched as her body clung to the lingerie, she was beautiful, just as he remembered.
She kept the glass beside him when she was done drinking, and ran her hands around his chest.
He closed his eyes, as she pulled down his pants swiftly and knelt down before him. She took off his boxer and teased his penis, she was pleased with herself as his erection was forming.
She took him into her mouth and started sucking on him. She knew this was going to break whatever walls he had built to keep her out of his mind.
She knew just how he loved her giving him a blowjob. She knew just how he loved his balls to get attention, and how he loved the interchanging pace of her mouth.
She knew that when she took his penis down her throat, she could not hold himself back from her. She held his ass, and pumped him in and out of her mouth, while he held her hair and kept on moaning crazily.
She gagged as she sucked him like some sort of valuable candy. He exploded into her mouth and she licked him clean.
Adams heart was pounding so fast, it had been years since he had a woman pleasure him, ever since Sophia left him, he had not been with a woman. When he was horny, he simply watched porn and masturbated in the bathtub.
She got up from her knees, and kissed him, she knew he was lacking sex, and she was going to get him fully satisfied until he could no longer hide where Alisha was.
As they kissed each other, they moved in slow steps to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed, and slowly took off her lingerie. He also took off his clothes until they were both naked and looking into each other's eyes.
Adams never thought that this was going to be possible again, to have the love of his life in his arms for him to pleasure, and please.
He took her breasts in his hands and gave them some massage, if he had to spend the whole day making sure he paid attention to every inch of her body, he would gladly do it, in order for him to make up for the lost years they had.
He was going to satisfy her and make love to her in a way that even if she left him, she would still come back because she was not going to get a sex as good as the one he planned to give to her.
She moaned as he took her left nipple and let his tongue tease her.
He paid so much attention to the left breast, yet he did not ignore the right, as he pinched and massaged it while he was still sucking the left one.
He moved to the right breast and gave it more attention. Sophia was dripping wet; she was so horny and wanted him to make sweet love to her.
