Chapter 4
I reapplied my strawberry lipstick before knocking on Peter’s door. He opened it instantly, as if he had been waiting for me on the other side of the door, and led me to the sitting room.
“Thanks for coming.” He said and hugged me, “I almost thought I did something wrong.”
“Of course not,” he said, releasing me and making his way to his usual spot on the couch.
“The delivery man should be here in ten.”
“What did you order?”
“Your favorite food”
We ate our food in total silence and watched wrestling for some time before the atmosphere changed.
On my way there that night, I decided to give him another chance. Maybe if I explained to him what I wanted in a relationship, he would bend his rules.
He shifted to my side of the couch and started touching my hair the way he always does. His breathing was becoming more rapid, and when I was expecting his kiss, he got up.
He went to the TV and turned it off, and he was about to turn off the sitting room light when I spoke.
“Stop”
He gave me this curious look before asking why.
“I hate doing it in darkness.”
“You’ve been doing it in darkness for the past four years.”
“I know, but I don’t like it.”
“Are we back at this conversation?”
“Maybe”
“But Lexi, try to understand me.”
“Peter, you try to understand me. There is no big deal in doing it with the light turned on, and there is also no big deal in doing it without our clothes on.”
“Lexi”
“Give me a tangible reason why we should do it with the light turned out.”
“I don’t just like it.”
“Because you don’t like something doesn’t mean I should also hate it,” I said while making my way to him seductively.
“I want to kiss you. I want to look at your face as I enjoy you. I want to touch your skin while you make love to me, not your clothes. I want to touch you, suck you, and lick you. I want to feel your cock at the back of my throat. I want to taste your cum as”
“Enough Lexi. Enough. Who is teaching you all this? Who are you moving with?”
“No one. I’m just telling you what I want in a relationship.”
“Those things aren’t right, Lexi. You are on the wrong path.”
“Says you, and where was it written that making love in the darkness with your clothes on is the right path?”
“Lexi!”
“Don’t Lexi me! I’m trying to tell you what I want in a relationship.”
“But they aren’t right.”
“Says who? Says you. Anyways, I don’t think I’m right for you since our tastes are different,” I said and started making my way to the door.
He blocked my way at the last minute and gave me an intense look.
“Let me go, Peter. I won’t listen to your reasons.”
“Are you seeing someone else?” He asked
That question caught me off guard, but I adjusted my expression before answering him.
“I love you, Peter. I gave you my virginity, and how you’re going to pay me back is by asking me such an insulting question,” I said aggressively. “I’ve told you what I want, and since you can’t give it to me, let me go.”
“I’m not insulting you. You know I will never do that. I’m just trying to work out some things, and you should try to lower your voice. We have been dating for how many years now?”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“Please”
“Five”
“And you have never raised your voice on me for once. We started having sex about four years ago, and you’ve only complained a few times. Everything was fine between us throughout last week, but this week has been strange. I love you, Lexi. Don’t do me like this.”
I knew he loved me, but love alone isn’t going to satisfy my thirst for real sex.
“Try to accept my wants, and everything is going to be fine between us. Excuse me”
“Let me give you a ride.”
“You don’t have to.”
“I want to.”
“Fine”
On Friday morning, I woke up as usual, fed Mama, and microwaved some pizza for myself. I got a cold diet Coke and sat on the couch to continue my movie when a message popped up on my phone.

Dear Miss Alexi Tyler,
We are pleased to offer you a full-time position of secretaryship at Stokes Enterprise with a start date of June 25, 2018, contingent upon your interview, background check, etc.
You will be reporting directly to Mr. Jason Stokes at the main office, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. We believe your skills and experience are an excellent match for our company.
Your duties are as follows:.
I reread the letter over and over again, and I was still unable to understand what was going on.
What the hell was happening? Why was Stokes Enterprise sending me a job offer letter when I didn’t even go there for an interview?
A post of secretaryship at Stokes Enterprise?’
Stokes Enterprise was an extremely rich and popular food processing company in the city. It was one of the most competitive companies in the city, and that made everything even more weird.
I signed the contract with the thought that they were going to get back at me with an apology that the letter wasn’t meant for me.
Before the end of the day, I informed Judith and Cynthia about it, which made Cynthia knock on my door for the second time that week.
“So, girl, what were you talking about?” Cynthia asked
“See it for yourself,” I replied, and I gave her my phone.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“And you’re sure you didn’t go there for an interview?”
“Will I be lying? You know I keep nothing from you, and you also know that my result isn’t strong enough for such a big company.”
“And you’re going to be reporting to the anonymous Mr. Jason Stokes?”
“It seems so.”
Mr. Jason Stokes was the only child of Mr. Adrian Stokes, the founder of the Stokes enterprise, who took over after his father’s terrible heart attack.
“I’m jealous of you,” Cynthia said.
“Don’t be yet. What if I get there on Monday and everything is just a prank?”
“That is also true. What if someone is trying to play a prank on you? That idea didn’t even cross my mind.”
“No matter what, whether it’s a prank or not, I’m going there to see for myself.”
“I think that is a good idea.”
