• • Freddy's POV • •
It's been an hour since Sheila left this room, yet I'm still laying in bed daydreaming.
This is the best morning so far since I came to this town. All this thanks to the chocolate lady. OMG, what made her to change her mind this fast, I thought she was going to play this hard to get crap. Still, why did she, leave this quick. Freddy, — you think too much the good thing is that she has signed the papers and now she's yours, you can do whatever you want with her.
~ ~ Knocks on my door ~ ~
“Sir it's time to go, the driver is waiting downstairs.” Oliver says as she knocks on the door. This snatches me from my thoughts. I reluctantly, move out of the bed.
I open the doors and she immediately gets in “Good morning sir, you are supposed to be ready by now, we have to move to our new office today.” she keeps insisting.
“Have you found a secretary as I asked?” I take a seat on the sofa still with my stares fixed at Olivia. “I haven't. I will do it today but this is if you only enable me to go early to work today so why aren't you getting ready?” she frowns at times she feels as killing him.
“Aint coming with you so you can go early. And please, find me a secretary or perhaps you want to do the work yourself.” I say restlessly without minding much about her expression.
“I can't leave without you. You have to visit the site if it's convenient for you then valid the payment of the rent.” she frowns. In contrary to Freddy she has to do the hardest part of the job which makes the deal works well, and also send constant feedback to Freddy's father. She can lose her job and him not.
She takes a deep breath “Sir, I still feel this relocation to a new bureau is wastage of time and money. We have the whole 9th floor to ourselves, only to you and I. There are a lot of places which we haven't discovered on this floor yet…” she explains but I give a damn, all I want is to feel free. It's like I'm in prison for her.
“Olivia, do what I say. I trust your tastes so anything you find worth you can make the payment request and I will validate from here. I will follow you to the office tomorrow.”
“Okay, sir.” she gives up and she turns to leave. “Wait for a second Olivia, you will send these documents to Carol,” I say while picking the documents from the table. I removed them from the envelope to check, just an intuition.
“Fuck!” I blow the table in frustration. It sounds so loud and hard that Olivia shudders in fear. I turn my face to her, upset. She takes a few visible steps backward “It's fine, you can leave.” she runs out immediately.
“What did you just make me do, Sheila.” I slap my face while flinging the papers which scattered on the ground. How dare she?. I knew it, I knew she was claiming to be innocent.
I move to the little bar, I pour out several glasses of whiskey which I drink in a gulp. I fill the glass for the fourth time then I move to the bed. I seat by the side of the bed, confused.
“Good, Sheila it's not a big deal, one goal for you and zero for me. Let's see what you are up to.” I try to calm myself. “OMG, how could I be so careless. I had to check the papers before anything.” but no matter hard I try I can't take this lightly. She used me and I felt like a fool, no one does that to me and goes free.
I drop the glass on my side bed slap then I pick the phone. It's rings then someone finally picks “Notify me when Sheila gets into the building!…”
“Today is Monday sir, and its her day off. Anyway, she will be here tomorrow. We can always send you another maid if you need anything.” I drop the call before she can end up her statement.
Sheila, you are lucky you aren't by me right now, you would have surely defeated this nonsense you did. I fall in bed facing the ceiling. “Why are women always so vicious?” murmur as I fall asleep without realising it.

• • Sheila’s POV • •
I can't stop asking myself how Freddy is doing right now like; is he still asleep, or has he discovered the unsigned papers yet? If yes, how is he reacting towards it?. I wish I could see his reaction from a far distance because it will be too risky to be close to him.
OMG, what did I just do?. I lost my virginity to a man who surely hates me now. What if he reported me to the boss and I get fired from my job, shit! It's my only source of income. Sheila next time control your fucken hormones.
“You have been acting weirdly since I came here. No, since last night what is wrong with you?. Today you missed classes you never miss any class. And don't tell me this crap that you are sick because you aren't.” she frowns. I mean she seriously frowns like never before.
This tops it all and I feel like committing suicide. I feel so nasty. I know that I've been playing the tough girl who can get through this without being broken, blah, blah, I did what I wanted I won't regret, all these shits but it's a lie.
It's hard for me to say this, but I'm regretting it all. I'm here lying to the only person I have and who cares about me in this whole world, (plus my mum of course) just because of a few minutes of pleasure. This is ridiculous!.
“Nat, sorry?” I retort without giving it second thoughts. “Sorry for?” she fixes me with her query gaze, I remain speechless. How I wish I could tell her everything.
“Sheila what are you hiding from me?” she gets down from the bed angrily then she starts picking up her stuff one after the other. “You don't want to talk to me fine.”
“What are you doing?” I seat up in bed wondering as I watch her. “You don't want to talk to me, so no need for me to be here.” he finally grabs her bag and leaves banging the door behind her.
A drop of tears helplessly rolls down my cheeks at the slamming sound. Immediately wipe it off. I have what I merit. I lay back in bed folding myself like a foetus in his mama’s womb trying to catch some sleep. I can't wait for this day to be over.
A few minutes I hear some knocks on my door. I smile “I knew it, I knew she can't leave me just like this.” I hurry out of bed to open the door.
As soon as I open the door, he gets in banging the door behind him. He looks like an assassin. “What are you doing here.” my heart starts pounding. It's like he wants to eat me wrong if only looks could kill. This freaks me out yet I act normally.
“What am I doing here?. You act as if you don't know what you did. I told you yet you did as you wanted. Now, are you ready to bear the consequences of your acts?”
“Which act?. Do you mean our act because the last time I checked, I didn't fuck myself but you did?” I scream. I'm mad at myself.
“What are you up to?. Do you want to blackmail me?” he lunches my arm tightly. “Why did you do that?” he fusses. “Take your filthy hands off me?” I battle to get off his grip in vain “Freddy, your hurting me.”
“I thought attraction was mutual, I thought no paper could resist this attraction we both fell, I thought I was right. Unfortunately, you are showing me how greedy you are. I don't regret what we did, — yes what we did because I'm bold enough to admit that I wanted it as much as you did.”
“You have to sign these papers, or take this money or?” he says but I cut him “Or else what?. What.” I scream and I overcome his voice.
“See, Freddy. I don't want anything from you. What we did is done and dusted, I won't come after you or whatever. I just need to taste how an orgasm feels it has nothing to do with you. So you can leave in peace.” I say without thinking. I can't believe I just said that. Sheila, you are a big fool.
“How did the orgasm feel?” this is why he wants to ask her but he dares not. He is awed by her words he wasn't expecting that. However, he isn't convinced.
“If you are saying the truth then take this cheque so that we will both have what we wanted.” he hands me over the check.
“Wow!. It's a huge sum of the money. I will take this cheque not because it's a payment for what happened but because I need it. This money can take me for a year, and I won't have to work.” I battle with myself.
“No thank you, Freddy, I don't need it. Please go in peace you won't see me again.” I give him back his cheque. It fixes me for a good while then he says “It's good, stays away from me.”
I open the door “Please can you?”
