MORE THAN A SECRETARY

“You look so pretty, Kat,”

Katrina heard Lucas say as he hugged her from behind, making her heart jump, he was making it so difficult for her not to fall more in love with him, he did things that made her feel that what they had was real, over the last couple of days it has grown impossible for her heart not to jump at what he does, she was afraid she was falling deeper for him.

“Why, Thank you, kind sir,”

She said turning to face him, he kissed her drawing her closer to him, how did he expect her not to react when he acts this way, just randomly kissing her, giving her hugs and all, it made her poor heart flutter.

The past few days when she is not busy with Lilac on either shopping speer or wedding rehearsals, he made sure to get her to do something with him, they went sightseeing and even to a night carnival, every night, he either sneak into her room or she goes to his, they haven’t slept apart since they got here aside from the first night, how his family has still not found out about their affair was beyond her.

“Don’t go playing with the stripers at the bridal shower,”

He warned against her lips.

“What? I plan on having fun, it’s a bridal shower for a reason,”

She answered pushing him off.

“Then I am not letting you leave, you are mine, I don’t want those broad shoulder men-whores putting their hands on you, I don’t like sharing,”

This, how does he say this and expect her to not catch feeling when he keeps saying things like this to her, things like you are mine.

“I will like to see Lilac shave off your precious hair, Lucas it is just a party, don’t worry I am not going home with any of the guys,”

“I know, if you do I will kill the guy and lock you anyway in my dungeon,”

“You have a dungeon?”

“No, but I will create one,”

He answered.

“But by the way, you are having a bach night too right? With Lilac’s husband to be Nick?”

“Yeah, but bridal showers are more dangerous, I don’t trust those guys,”

“We are having it close to the mansion though, it’s the beach house and it’s not even two blocks away, it safe, you guys are going over to a hotel,”

“I don’t mean that kind of safe,”

“Aha, I get, don’t worry, I am all yours till this ends,”

She added the last part just to remind him and herself that this wasn’t a long-term thing, that in a little over a week this will be over, the thought of this ending already hurt, she hoped she has prepared herself for it.

“Good,”

“Can I say the same for you, because I know there will be stripers too, I can invent my own dungeon too,”

“No stripers, just drinks, and guys,”

“Wow, for real? That would be boring,”

“No, it won’t, Nick is not that kind of guy, he loves Lilac too much, in fact, he has loved only her since I knew him,”

“But he let her have stripers at her party,”

“Yes, because he trusts her and also Lilac is the wild one of the two, enough of those two, I wanna kiss you before you go so that you would think about it and come back to me.

He replied and kissed her again, dragging his fingers through her hair, she took hours to style her hair and didn’t want him to ruin it, but she knew he loved playing with her hair and she didn’t want to stop him, she kissed him back enjoying every moment of it when he pulled back he pecked her on the forehead, which made her heart skip a beat.

“That reminds me,”

He said pulling off.

“The guys from the office are coming in tomorrow, which means this house would be filled with people since mom doesn’t want anyone at hotels when we have so many rooms,”

“I know, I called Jordan,”

She replied, she had spoken to Jordan and told him about her and Lucas affair, he had been overjoyed and had told her to make sure she gets the most of him, she was already getting it but the more she got, the more she wanted, which was gonna get her in trouble.

“I don’t like him,”

“Why? He is my best friend,”

“Yeah I know but I am sure he is part of the people that talk shit behind my back,”

He replied, she laughed.

“I knew it,”

He added when she didn’t deny what he said.

“Jord is a great guy, he doesn’t mean any harm, he just thinks you are a little too uptight and strict,”

“Do you think so too? Am I uptight and strict to you?”

“For me, no, because I know you, so you haven’t been any of those since I got to know you,”

She said sincerely. when she newly started working for him, she had thought so too, but when she got to know him, she realized he is a nice person and she had fallen for him.

“Good,”

“Katrina? Are you not done yet?”

Lilac called as she walked into her room, Lucas quickly got off her and sat on the bed, she turned back to the mirror, adjusting her hair that Lucas had raffled and also fixing her lipstick before Lilac entered.

“Katy? Aren’t yo*** wait what is he doing here?”

She asked when she saw Lucas.

“What do you mean what am I doing here, I own this house,”

“No, you don’t, mom and dad own the house,”

“And I am their child so it automatically mine too,”

“I am their child too, and I ain’t in someone’s room because I own the house that my parents own,”

She said not giving him the last word, Kat laughed at their bickering, they always have something to fight about.

“But you are here too aren’t you?”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Lucas asked.

“It’s okay, both of you, Lilac I am ready so we can leave,”

Katrina said pulling Lilac along with her, leaving Lucas in her room.

“How do you tolerate him? He is a pain in the ass,”

Lilac said as they walked towards the car.

“No, he is not, you guys just never get along, and yet you guys love each other the most,”

She said laughing.

“Only you can say that Katrina, only you, I can’t say the same, if he were my boyfriend I would break his head, how you can be with him is beyond me,”

She said and Katrina stopped walking.

“He is not my boyfriend,”

“Yeah, right, everyone in this house knows you guys have a thing, we just choose to keep quiet because you guys are trying to keep it low, you guys are failing, by the way, we are all adults, both of you can’t keep your eyes and hands from each other, don’t look at me like that, I like you for my brother,”

Lilac said. Katrina didn’t know how to respond, she thought they were keeping things pretty low but she was wrong, she wondered if Lucas knew his family was aware of their affair, she didn’t lie to Lilac though, Lucas wasn’t her boyfriend just a fling, even though she wants him to be more than that but she knew he didn’t want her in a long term way, which hurts a lot.

“It’s not really how it looks,”

“Really? Then how is it? Are you guys testing waters? Or what?”

“Can we not talk about Lucas and me? It’s your day,”

“You just want to be let off,”

“Yes please,”

She replied truthfully, she wasn’t comfortable with discussing what they had with anyone not to talk of his sister, them finding out alone already makes her uncomfortable.

“Okay, however, if he messes with you, we can all gang up and beat him up, me, you, and Leah, though she looks too big to beat someone now.”

She said and Katrina smiled.

“Of course,”

They got in the car and drove the short distance to the beach house where the bridal shower was taking place, Lilac’s friends had organized it and Katrina couldn’t say no because Lilac won’t take no for an answer, anyway she loved parties and it will help keep her mind off some things.

When they entered, the venue was decorated with pink and white which were Lilacs favorite colors, with dim light, there were about fifteen ladies, who were all introduced to her, she already met a few of them during her numerous outing with Lilac, Leah couldn’t make it due to her state, she said she didn’t want to be rolling like a ball when the other ladies look like runaway models.

She had fun with the ladies as they were all friendly, they didn’t even invite stripers as Lucas had thought, it was more like a girls night, they drank, told each other about their relationships and heartbreaks and even husbands and kids because some of the women were married. When they asked her, Lilac had said she belonged to Lucas and had not given her a chance to deny it, the other ladies had told her she was lucky, but if only they knew, Lucas wasn’t hers, even though she wanted him to be, she only own him for just a few more nights, the thought of their short time together, she made up her mind to make the most of each of those nights and even the days.
