Purple Romance

''You… you, what do you think you are doing? Don't think that you are allowed to do anything just because this place belongs to you, okay? I might be plump but I am very strong''

''Paula'' he walked closer to her and she closed her eyes. ''Stop referring yourself as fat or plump. I prefer curvy'' he said and she slowly opened her eyes and he winked at her.

''You… go inside there and don't come out until you hear me sleeping. Don't think about sleeping on the bed. The floor is where you belong'' she finished and hurried to the bed to sleep.

''Isn't this overboard?''

''Then, go back to your room and stop imposing on me'' she retorted back even though her face was still red under the quilt that she covered herself with.

''Alright, this is your room. We will go by your rules, even though this whole place belongs to me, by the way'' he said the last part loud for her to hear.

Removing her hand out from the quilt, she raised the tallest finger up and curled the rest into a fist and showed it at him.

Andy chuckled and looked at her. He couldn't believe she just told him to f*ck off right to his face. He shook his head and went into the bathroom.

When she heard the opening and closing of bathroom door, she sat up and heaved a relief. She touched her face and felt that her face was really hot. Call her naïve but this was the first time she was ever going to sleep in the same room with another man. Even when she dated that sick bastard Gideon, the farthest she ever went with him was just a kiss and it wasn't even deep because that bastard said she was clumsy at it.

''Asssh, that son of a sick dog!!!'' just thinking about it made her blood to boil. Paula clutched her fist together and turned to look towards the bathroom when she heard the shower running. The thought of a man bathing with no clothes on made her face even redder. She gulped hard and flush.

She really wanted to see what a naked man looked like. Why did they have to put an opaque glass door at that place?

''I really want to see'' she murmured and bit her lips before coming back to her senses. ''Wake up, Paula'' she slapped her cheek and almost screamed from the pain. She couldn't believe the words of Lisa were now imprinted in her and she was actually thinking about Andy in such a lewd way. She shook her head and laid back on the bed, covering herself with the quilt once again, she murmured, 'Who could have taken over his room for him to impose himself on me this night? Tonight is going to be a long one'' she admitted to herself before closing her eyes.

''1 sheep, 2 sheep, 3 sheep, 4 sheep, 5 sheep'' she kept reciting that to herself until she drifted into a quite sleep.

While in the bathroom, Andy was cleaning himself up and stopped when something came to his mind. He chuckled and shook his head, ''what is she so afraid of? Is not like I am going to do something to her?'' he picked his clothes and turned to look at the clothes shelve just at the upper side of the shower and opened it. He found a pair of clean untouched pyjamas inside and removed them. he realised she hadn't used the set of bed wear that the hotel had provided. Somewhat he was grateful because he couldn't have slept with his clothes. Not only were they uncomfortable but felt dirty from the day's activities.

After changing into the set of pyjamas, he came out of the bathroom and saw the set of beddings that she had kept on the floor and shook his head. He was being treated so lightly by this woman, he thought.

Andy got closer to the bed and heard the gentle breathing sounds and his lips curved into a smile, ''she didn't even wait for me and slept by herself. I am the CEO of this place and this woman just treats me anyhow she likes'' he stood up and turned to go and she kicked the quilt away. He stopped in his strides and looked at her. ''She is sleeping so soundly, even kicking the quilt away'' he murmured and picked the quilt up. He covered her body up and stopped at her shoulders and tugged it into the bed before he squatted in front of her.

''She is so beautiful. Why can't she see that?'' he pouted his lips cutely and shook his head before standing up to go.

Right at that moment, the woman's hand lifted and grasped unto his neck, pulling him closer to herself as she murmured in her sleep. Before he could stop himself, his lips went crashing into hers.

Time seemed to have stopped as his body stiffened. His Adam's apple throbbed sensually and his eyes blinked a few times as his face turned red.

''Don't move, Lisa'' Paula murmured and turned her face away, still sleeping.

Andy scratched his head awkward and fell to his buttocks still blushing. He touched his lips and stood up, walking clumsily to the beddings on the floor.

After laying on the bed, he turned towards her and murmured, ''you just took advantage of me, Paula'' before touching his lips again as they curved into a smile.

....

The next morning when Paula woke up, she saw the beddings neatly folded and placed beside the bed and the man already gone from the room. She pouted her lips, ''he didn't even tell me he was going before he left. What an ungrateful man'' she murmured and got down from the bed. She suddenly touched her lips and frowned, she felt a cut between her lips and it somewhat tasted different.

''Did I bit myself while I was sleeping?'' she touched the cut and shook her head before going into the washroom to perform her morning routine.

Andy's office.

While having a chat with the manager of the subsidiary branch, Andy kept reminiscing on the incident of the previous night and subconsciously his lips curved up. it was clearly a mistake but why did he ended up loving that mistake so much that he couldn't stop himself from thinking about it? He wondered how the woman who took advantage of him would look like when he told her about it. Surely, this was going to be his little secret. There was no way in hell he was going to tell her about it, but… he licked his lips and felt that it wouldn't be so bad to taste those lips again.

Max who was sitting in front of Andy furrowed his brows not understanding the kind of reverie his boss was into that morning. It seemed that his mood was really good. His facial muscles were even more relaxed than the day before. He was curious about the sudden change. He didn't know whether it had to do with the preparations that Bella did or not.

Talking about that woman, Max was really scared of her. She had forced him to show her the room of Andy and even threatened him. He didn't have any choice but to do that. This morning, he had apologised to Andy for the incident but he didn't seem to mind at all.

Andy suddenly chuckled and lifted his eyes meeting Max's gaze. He looked away and asked in a nonchalant way, 'where did we reach?''

''Boss, you seem to be in a good mood. You've been smiling since you came to the office this morning'' Max couldn't help but ask.

''Really?'' Andy smirked.

''Yes, boss. Is there a special reason; your mood has improved a lot. Or is it because of Miss Bella?''

''I am indeed in a good mood, but that has nothing to do with Bella'' Andy picked a few files on the table and handed them over to him, ''take this and go and get the tourist ready for the Coastal Castle tour''

''Yes, boss'' Max took the files and left the office.

Andy picked his pen and started playing with it as he hummed a song. He was enjoying the moment until the door opened and the one person he didn't really wanted to see much entered into the office wearing a green puffy hands chevron J collections that was a little above her knees.

''Hi, Andy'' Bella said and sat across him. Her face was beaming but that wasn't what caught Andy. The excess makeup on her face and red lipstick on her lips were over excessive to call the least. He couldn't help but start to compare her to a certain someone who rarely had makeup on each time he saw her. her makeup was always minimal but it suited her. Her lips, she tasted like almonds, must be….

''Andy, what are you thinking about so seriously?'' Bella asked as she smiled. Her thoughts were that he was probably looking at her red lips. Little did she know right that moment, he was thinking of another woman who wasn't her.
