Day Forty-Two…
~~*****~~
Abigail rolled her eyes skyward when she heard Nathan's last remarks. He already kissed her and was asking her to return to Sparks Mansion, but Nathan was still in denial about his true feelings for her.
He was not admitting that he liked her. He even used his son as an excuse. Not satisfied with Nathan's answer, Abigail pushed him away while pounding his chest using her fists.
However, Nathan was holding her waist tightly so she ended up being pulled by him, her face bumping into his sturdy chest.
"Aww!" Abigail grunted while rubbing her nose.
Nathan quickly lifted her chin to check on her. Abigail glared at him while pouting her lips. "This is your fault."
Nathan just let out a husky laugh and said, "You were the one who pushed me. You already knew that I was holding on to you."
He tapped the tip of her nose and chuckled once more. After that, he brought his thumb to her mouth, tracing and wiping her lower lip. There were still marks of his wet kisses on her lips.
Abigail was caught off guard by his actions. She gulped hard when she met Nathan's intense gaze, his eyes looking at her lips. It seemed that he still wanted to kiss her… once more!
Nathan even ran his tongue in between his lips, licking them while staring at her intently.
'Don't tell me… he is going to kiss me again…' Abigail's heart went wild once more. It was beating faster and louder inside her chest because of Nathan's smoldering gaze.
Abigail reflexively closed her eyes when Nathan leaned over, planting a soft kiss on the tip of her nose. This was his way of coaxing her after her face bumped into his chest.
Nathan smiled inwardly when Abigail remained closing her eyes while parting her lips as if she was expecting another kiss to happen. She looked like she was inviting him… tempting him to kiss her lips again.
Nathan contemplated for a moment whether he would tease her first or just claim her lips to satisfy her. But Abigail's kissable lips were like magnets, drawing him closer and closer to her.
Without restraining himself, Nathan went for another kiss. This time, the kiss was gentle and not in a hurry. His lips brushed her lips softly, nibbling on her upper and lower lip alternately.
Nathan's tongue savored her lips, licking and tasting her as if she was a sweet candy. Abigail could only moan in between their kisses. He was very tender yet passionate.
Abigail couldn't help but be lost in his burning passion and desire. She was being carried away by Nathan. All she could do was follow his lead and respond to him with the same intensity as his.
Abigail clutched his shirt, tugging him closer to her as they deepened the kiss. They were drowning themselves in this wonderful sensation as they shared a long and deep passionate kiss.
Thud!
Abigail's back hit the door as Nathan pinned her body, pressing her against the door as they continued kissing. His right hand was now holding the back of her head, protecting her. His left hand was placed at the back of her waist… in the middle of her spine, supporting her.
The sound of their wet kisses reverberated inside his office. They were both lost in their own world. All their senses focused on their lips that were touching, licking, and devouring each other.
Abigail could feel her body reacting to his kisses. She felt so hot as if she had a fever. There was wetness between her legs. Nathan was experiencing the same thing. When he pressed his body against hers, Abigail felt something hard poking her stomach. They were both aroused at this moment.
Everything was heating up between them when suddenly they heard a knock on the door.
Knock! Knock!
The sudden knocking sound of the door interrupted the two. Abigail accidentally bit Nathan's lips and so, Nathan drew back, breaking the kiss. The metallic taste of his own blood lingered in his mouth.
'She bit me hard,' Nathan thought to himself as he sucked his blood.
Knock! Knock!
Meanwhile, the person outside continued pounding on the door. Nathan crumpled his face. He was annoyed since someone interrupted his moment with Abigail.
On the other hand, Abigail immediately moved away from the door, stepping behind Nathan. "Go and open the door!" Abigail commanded him. Then she roamed her eyes around Nathan's office, searching for a place to hide.
She felt like her appearance was a mess. Her cheeks were burning red and her lips were a little bit plump after sharing passionate kisses with Nathan.
When Abigail saw the other door, her eyes lit up. She could tell that it was the door leading to Nathan's private room. That room was made for him to take a nap anytime.
Abigail was about to leave and go to the room that was attached to Nathan's office when Nathan stopped her by grabbing her hand. "Don't leave. Just stay here… with me."
Abigail: "..."
Nathan held her, not letting her go. Then he opened the door to check who was the person who ruined their moment.
Abigail gasped inwardly as soon as she saw the person standing at the door. It was Nathan's father, Old Man Xu!
Old Man Xu was also surprised that Nathan was not alone. He was with someone. Then the old man frowned when he recognized Abigail.
"Eh, what is she doing here?" Old Man Xu asked Nathan. He didn't look happy upon seeing Abigail. Old Man Xu and Abigail had some clashes before.
"I invited her to come," Nathan promptly responded.
Abigail was trying to pull her arm but Nathan was gripping her tightly. Old Man Xu also noticed their entangled hands. He arched his eyebrow, eyeing them suspiciously.
Abigail tried to hide their hands but it was useless. Old Man Xu had already seen them.
"Ahem!" Old Man Xu cleared his throat, still looking at them meaningfully.
"Are you not going to invite me in?" Old Man Xu scowled at his son.
"As the Chairman of SYP Twilight Corp, you already owned this building. Why should I invite you in, Dad?" Nathan spat back at his Dad.
Old Man Xu just scrunched his nose. "What happened to your lips?" The old man saw the bloodstain and tiny bite mark.
Abigail could only stay silent, looking away to hide her guilty expression. She was the one who bit Nathan's lips.
"I accidentally bit my lips," Nathan replied, covering up for Abigail.
Old Man Xu just bobbed his head. He entered the room and walked past them. He settled down on the couch, motioning for Abigail and Nathan to sit down on the opposite side.
Nathan closed the door of his office. He realized that some employees were taking a peek at them. After locking the door, he pulled Abigail, letting her sit on the couch. Nathan sat next to her, facing his father.
"Why are you here, Chairman Xu?" Nathan asked his father using a formal tone. Since they were in the office, Nathan called him Chairman.
"There is something I have to tell you. But I think it is improper for her to stay here while we are discussing something." Old Man Xu gave Abigail a side glance.
"Is it work-related?" Nathan asked him.
"No. It's something personal. Helena." Old Man Xu intentionally mentioned Helena's name in front of Abigail. He tried to assess her expression. And he saw a chilly glint flashing through Abigail's eyes at the mention of Helena's name.
Wanting to provoke Abigail further, Old Man Xu spoke once more, talking about Helena.
"Helena is going to visit our mansion. We will discuss your engagement–" Old Man Xu paused when he sensed the sharp gaze Nathan was giving him. His son's eyes seemed to warn him not to continue his words. But Old Man Xu already said the word engagement.
"I think I should leave!" Abigail immediately stood up, yanking her hand away from Nathan's grasp.
Old Man Xu shifted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Abigail. He somehow sensed a growing tension between the two.
'Are they fighting?' Old Man Xu mused to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He just watched the two silently. 'Why do I feel like they are having a lover's quarrel?'
"I said STAY." Nathan wouldn't allow Abigail to leave. What if she decided not to return to the mansion after leaving this office? Nathan knew that he had to settle some things and clear the misunderstanding.
Wrapping his arm around Abigail's waist, he held her in place. Then he glanced at his father and declared, " Chairman… I mean Dad… You should ask her permission regarding this matter. Abi is my girlfriend. Consult her first if she will allow me to cooperate with you… regarding this FAKE engagement."
Abigail: "Fake engagement?!"
Old Man Xu: "Your Girlfriend?!"
Both Abigail and Old Man Xu were dumbfounded by his last remarks.
