"It was not a bad decision, Jenna," Neil said.
Jenna looked up from her desktop and nodded, but again her eyes moved back to the window. She stared outside at the view. The traffic crawled below and the wind waved to her. She closed her eyes and sighed. She did not know if accepting the offer had been the right thing to do. Rylan Washer knew how to say the right things to her to make her accept what he wanted. She knew that her new job place was much better than her old one. She knew she had Neil there to support her and be with her. She also knew the pay was extravagant than her miserly past one. She even knew that this job was an amazing opportunity for her full display of talent but all of these things got cancelled with the one fact that she would have Rylan Washer in her life on a daily basis.
The man was an enigma, however much did she want to deny the fact but he was a walking form of energy. He was tall, really tall and he towered over her small frame. His dark gorgeous looks with his café latte skin and gorgeous dark hairs were enough to drive any sane woman to hook onto him but she tried and she tried her level best to stay away from him because each time he had been even in the approximate nearness of a mile to her, she sensed that alarming danger warning in her head. He rocked her life with one wave, one word and the slightest of gestures.
She was afraid of him. She did not want to admit but she knew she was afraid of his nearness. He was not like her previous boss - the lecherous bald guy who tried to pounce on her at every opportunity. He was nowhere like him but he was lethal. He threatened her entire existence and she feared the way he was bent on having her.
"Why?" she thought to herself and sighed again. She hid her face in the crook of her arms and cuddled into herself. She had been ready to leave Xentrix but she doubted she was ready for Rylan. She doubted she would ever be ready for anyone or anything in her life other than work. She wondered if she was just a cold person.
A blush crept to her skin and heightened at the memory of a long drawn kiss. The first time Rylan had kissed her, in that alley. The way his lips had moved over hers. The way his tongue had stroked her lips to part and then he had discovered all those sensitive zones in her mouth that burst into firecrackers with each flick of his tongue. The way his steel like arms imprisoned her under him and then his mouth made love to hers. She felt a tremor run along her spine just at the thought. 'No,' she said to herself.
'Why am I thinking like this? I shouldn't. That man is a master playboy and all he sees is you as a challenge and you got to prove him wrong. You worth more than this; much more than a trophy to be won.' She said to herself and sighed again.
Jenna slept little that night. However much she tried and console herself that she was not affected by this change of events, she could not sleep over the idea at all. She twisted and turned the entire night trying to calm down her heightened senses. Her mind anticipating the next day and her body aware of the man she would meet again. Jenna gave up on sleeping at 4 o' clock. She dragged herself from her bed and had a really cold shower. 'I need to calm down!' she shouted at herself.
She worked on some old papers and settlements to while away the time. When she heard Neil's door open on the other side of the flat she peeped out of her room and asked cheerfully, "Coffee?"
Neil rubbed his eyes sleepily and pouted. He hated getting up in the morning. He made a half hearted nod and disappeared in the washroom. Jenna smiled and started cooking the breakfast for them. Half an hour later, Neil returned and sniffed happily at the warm smell of fried bacons and coffee.
"Smells amazing," he said as he sat down at the dining table, "You sure do seem cheerful."
"I got rid of a nightmare and it's the first start of a new life, of course I am happy and cheerful," Jenna smiled.
"Sure," Neil said in that mysterious ways of his. Jenna made a face at him and got back to her cup of coffee. Neil stared at her and muttered something under his breathe. Jenna ignored him. The guy was not going to tell her, whatever was going through his mind. They finished their breakfast and then Neil drove her to their office.
