Chapter 52

Aria

Ten thousand fucking dollars? Is this man kidding me? Is he trying to buy me off or something?

What in the world does he think he is doing?

Why do I feel like he wants to keep me here against my wish?

Common Aria, you have got to be smarter than all of these if you want to survive in this world that is so wicked. You have endured nothing but suffering and now, nothing looks real anymore.

Yes, nothing is real to me. How can he treat me like some whore despite the kiss we both shared at the lot that night? I am a fool to have thought that he was different from the numerous men I see out there whose sole purpose is to break the hearts of innocent ladies.

A quick clapping of fingers snaps me out of my dilemma, and I look up to find the most gorgeous sets of sea-blue eyes that I have ever seen in my entire life. How can one human being be so beautiful yet intolerable like this?

" I am sorry but I don't want a job anymore," O replied behind tight teeth as my whole being knew that I needed a job more than anything in life at this point and I had been praying for any kind of job and here was this monster offering me ten times what I have ever thought of making.

I could see that playful smile on his lips. The kind of smile that made my pants wet instantly, something I had never felt before. Feeling uncomfortable at the rapid manner that my pants were getting better, I struggled to walk out but my shoes knocked over each other, and I found Myself losing balance.

"Easy baby girl, else you will end up hurting yourself."

That was the only thing my brain could register as I felt string pairs of arms, wrapped around my waist as they Prevented me from hitting the bottom.

Wow, just wow...

I was speechless when my eyes met his and May God help me because this man wasn't only gorgeous, he was a God. Staring at him I had lost my tongue in the moment and all I wished for was for his cute pair of lips to meet with mine, so much that I hadn't paid attention to the fact that he was talking with me or what he had when said.

"See something that you like, beautiful?"

Realization dawned on me and I squeezed myself out of his reach with a low, "Keep your hands to myself."

Even I couldn't believe my own words with trembling lips.

"I take that for a yes then." He said, while I still stood there like some morone. "Tomorrow, 7:30 am then."

"I beg your pardon?" Was all I could say at his words then he smiled and responded, "Silence means yes Miss Wales."

He even remembers my name, the chronic womanizer finds fun in what he does. Still looking all lost, Mr. Campbell walked back to his seat and I wished I could kick myself in the butt for being so stupid.

Well, it wasn't necessary as I had no intention of coming to work over there ever and it was the last time I was ever going to see the face of such an egocentric man like him.

Without uttering a word, I walked out and left his office hoping never to have to meet with him and his annoying arrogance anymore. The disappointment I felt at the thought that he liked me but I was just stupid and inexperienced.

With a heavy heart, I walked across the reception and headed for the door to get a cap, wishing I never showed up in the first place.

***

After the cap left me at Jobs' place, I went into the apartment and all I wanted was to sleep, when I sat down on the sofa, picked up the other places I had to be interviewed at and just let out a sigh. My body was weak and I needed some food.

Life was so hard and trying to find myself was even tighter. Getting into the kitchen, I decided to make my favorite food and there, there were still some potatoes on the shelves.

Not thinking much, I pulled out the Saucepan and began cooking. After a good cook, I sat on the couch to relax my head and in a moment, Mr. Campbell opened the door and the sunlight behind me made it so hard for me to see his face.

In an Instant horror, I opened my mouth to speak but I lacked words as I went dry.

"Did you miss me beautiful?" He asked giving me a dirty knowing look that sent shivers down my spine and I tried to still maintain my balance hoping all of it was real.

In my silence which was due to amazement, Mr. Campbell lifted his right hand and without much effort, the strap of my blouse fell to the side, exposing an unreasonable amount of flesh that I wish could be hidden.

I felt so embarrassed that I turned red and my cheeks hit up most insanely. Was I liking what was going on? Did his touch turn me on this much that I was losing my guard and was salivating like some hungry dog awaiting its best meal?

He seemed to know all about the thoughts that were going on inside my head as his amile broadness and his breath were now closer than ever.

Lord have mercy on me, I was sweating profusely even though I was under some hard Harvards conthaththated down my body, taking their time and making sure to maintain eye contact with me.

I was finding it so hard to breathe already. I wanted him, I wanted this, I wanted all that this man was ready to offer. What was wrong with me? Where had my morals gone? I didn't give two fucks about that as all I wanted was his mouth on mine and in many other places, I dared not say.

The gasps that escaped my mouth weren't intentional and as I lay there trying to decide what it was going to be, his lips landed on my bare skin and I skipped like I had been electrocuted.

"Felt that?" His words brought me back to reality and I sure felt more than that. It was heavenly divine how he read through every dirty thought that was going through my head without me having to even say them out.

"What do you want?"

"You." Dang and there was a catch. I had just sold myself out without even thinking deeply about the words that were leaving my mouth. With a smirk on his face, Mr. Campbell's mouth took mine in a brutal way that left me wanting that this moment never come to an end.

I caressed his back touching his stuffed muscles and feeling like he was going to wake up from my body, I captured him with my legs wrapped around his waist as though that could stop him.

He seems to be loving it nonetheless and so was I.

"Who are you home with?"

"No one," I replied with a needy breath not wanting his mouth out of mine. "I'm all by myself."

"Good, because I have a lot of things I want to do to this soft body of yours."

My eyes widened in shock and I had no clue as to why I was even shocked. A part of me was feeling like that maybe because I wasn't expecting him to be so direct with his request, but the other side of me, had come to know him to be a straightforward man and I would be a liar if I said that the things he did to me didn't turn me on in the most insane ways.

"Baby, I want you, I need you, I've always wanted you from the first day we met under that heavy rainfall. Please take me!!! Take me now." I screamed feeling my cunt getting wetter than it should be and the next set of voices I heard, were familiar to me but something was wrong.

The voices were no longer that of one person, it wasn't that of Mr. Campbell... Oh shit, It was those of Nathan and Job. How is it even possible for them to be... Here? My eyes opened to the sight of them both looking at me and Jobs voice brought me even more back to my senses.

"Are you okay Aria? Why are you sweating this much? Why are you sleep-talking?"

I was bombarded with all those questions and while I was making an effort to register what Job was saying, Nathan added that his facial expression showed that he was more than concerned about something.

Me? They were concerned about me and oh my world... No no no and no. It can't be true. God save me from this embarrassment.

"I think she needs a doctor."

"Was she moaning in her sleep Job?" Nathan asked and his confused face threw me off balance some more.

"I think I heard that too." Job confirmed making my heart skip.

"Maybe we are just wrong Job. Aria doesn't have any boyfriend." Nathan's persistence made my whole body itchy and all I wanted was for the ground to open up and swallow me up.

"Well we will talk about what we saw and heard later, but for now she is having a fever and all that matters is how we can get her some drugs.

" You are right."

"Guys," I called out to them both and their stares made me feel so guilty. "I am fine."

"No, you are not." Nathan contradicted leaving me in a complete state of triple embarrassment.

"You kept on calling the name Mr. Campbell."

God dammit, I'm busted. How do I save myself from this one this time around? I'm so dead, how could my fantasies roam around so wild leaving me in such a compromising situation? How do I come out of this right now?

"Is there something we should know Aria? That's if you feel like talking about it." Job in his mature tendency, spoke out softly with his eyes never leaving me. I gathered the hem of my gown with sweaty hands, and with an open mouth, I couldn't form words.

Fumbling with my dress still, I felt relieved when Job Said, " Take your time, but know that we are here for you okay?"

I nodded without being able to look up. I felt like I had betrayed them both and that I was supposed to be serious and not make out in my dream like some cheap slut.

Butting my bottom lip like I do when I'm nervous, I gave them a fake smile and said, "Thanks."

Job gave me a warm elderly brother smile and asked how my day was and how my interview went while Nathan stood up and headed for the fridge asking if there was anything to eat as he was starving.

Shit, Shit, shit. I had not even thought of what I was going to give them as feedback and I just let my pride decide for me.

"Aria??? Are you with me? I asked you a question. Where Is your mind this evening?"

I budged my eyes in shock and thinking I didn't hear him well I asked again. "Evening?."

"Yes, evening," Nathan said with a loud laugh while coming to take a seat by me with a large bowl of cereal.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Job's concerned voice made me even more anxious of myself.

"The interview was okay." I finally let the answer slip off my lips.

"Great, meaning you are getting the job right?" Nathan said, eating a big chunk of cereals into his mouth before saying something that left both me and Job in shock.

"What?"
