Thanks a lot for all of the support
Let's pick a Hot Blond, blue eyed guy as Tobiah (make a suggestion)
Thanks a lot. ^-^
Tobiah's Pov:
Cordelia just apologized; that's something new.
Cordelia just intertwined our fingers instead of just holding hands; that's new too.
Cordelia did not fire back when I complimented her: that is even newer.
I don't know why I am keeping track of all her actions but all seem to effect me slightly. I feel warm around her. She keeps me excited for her next coming comment and I felt a weird necessity in me to treat her right. We might be faking it however Cordelia owned my respect long ago so I have to treat her right. Maybe Lana did train me well. Maybe mother did teach me well. Whatever it is I will surely try to keep my promise for Cordelia; I will spoil her this year.
Raising my head my eyes fell on Cordelia. The Glass of both our offices kept the least of secrecy and I remember her fuming about the "pornographic scenes" that I and Lana used to put. She forbade me from making out with Lana in the office before because it is far from being professional. I obliged to her because as usual she threatened to damage my paycheck. Now, she can threaten all she wants. Any damage to my salary won't be that important since I don't have Lana around to spoil her. Lana used to love fancy places. She has eyes on every new Gucci article and every trendy makeup brand.
Differences started to pop as I gazed at Cordelia. Today my Boss picked a knee length navy dress that hugged her frame well. Her black hair was put in a high ponytail. Some stubborn hairs did escape though and fell lightly around her cheeks and neck. Cordelia's eyes weren't of any special color like Lana's: they were onyx black. Instead a full face of makeup Cordelia kept her skin bare. Nothing covered her few freckles. Long natural lashes nearly brushed her cheeks as she yawned in boredom. Lana and Cordelia look like girls from different backgrounds and if I didn't know both, I would guess Lana is made of money while Cordelia is merely normal.
Annoyed at the amount of times Lana's name was repeated in my head, I decided my next moves to bring her down. They say revenge is never the answer but my broken heart seems to disagree. The only possible answer for Lana's behavior and new relation is revenge. I am going to make her regret it all. She will surely comeback begging and after some rule-setting she would wear the ring I bought her and we would live happily ever after.
"Princess." I called as I interrupted her continuous session of reading
"Tobiah" she answered without paying me any real attention
"We need to talk." I said sitting on my usual chair
"Are we finally breaking up? Should I pop some champagne" she mocked as her eyes lazily trailed to meet mine
"Not so fast princess. We will still be together for nearly 364 days" I teased hearing her huff
"Don't remind me." She fired back frowning
"Plenty of girls would die to be in your place." I assured with a knowing smirk. I am not arrogant. I just know my worth.
"True" she said with a smile and I was about to thank her until her smart mouth opened again saying " I do have billions after all"
"Funny, princess. Very funny." I lamely faked a laugh at her joke and she grinned in response.
"I know , Tobiah. Now tell what do you want?" she asked a bit more professionally.
"Today we have three steps to accomplish." I informed turning as much as possible to face her.
"We aren't dancers Tobiah. Make your words clearer." She ordered
"Three steps: a date, a photograph and a kiss." I explained seeing her eyes doubling in size and her breathes getting caught.
"I am not ready yet. A photograph would mean facing my parents like tomorrow." She fought back and crossed her hands.
"Well, they must know and I truly thought you will fight me over the kiss not a simple photo." I revealed impressed yet again by the lack of her concern over us holding hands or kissing.
"I don't make a fuss about silly things like holding hands and kisses, Tobiah. I am not a teenage girl finally having a chance to date her crush. I also know that this means nothing to you than a plan of revenge, so why should I overthink it? " She simply said raising her shoulders in objection.
Each day, I get even more amazed by how calm and collected she acts and sounds. Truly living with Cordelia won't be as dramatic as other girls. With her, I guess it is as simple as one plus one.
"Have you kissed a guy before?" I shot suddenly wanting to know more about her private life. Simply, her cold facade amazes me.
"I am twenty-seven so go guess." She taunted my stupid question
"Just checking so you won't freeze on me." I taunted right back seeing her cheeks getting tainted in a cherry red color.
"I won't maybe you will." She said rapidly clearly showing her new rising anger
"I have been with plenty of girls, Lia. I really doubt that I will freeze when kissing my Boss. You however might feel some electricity." I teased her more and her gaze hardened
"You mean sparks, you idiot." She corrected and my smirk grew wilder.
"See, I knew that there is a cheesy girly girl underneath all of that cool facade." I pointed out and she nearly fumed.
"I will prove you wrong." She vowed pointing her index finger at me.
Then with long steady steps she walked to me making me freeze in surprise. Dammit, I vowed not to freeze! However, Cordelia's gaze at me had me in spot. She marched to me the sat on the little coffee table by me. Her hands reached my face, pulling it delicately to her. She titled her head a little and my eyes grew in surprise! What is she doing ? Is she simply going to kiss me ? I did not plan for such a thing nor am I mentally ready !
Warm lips then connected with my own and all thoughts went weirdly off. I couldn't hear or move. A sudden warmth erupted from my lips to reach my toes and my eyes closed after few blinks. Feeling her trying to pull away, my hands rushed to her sides keeping her in place. I heard her grunt a little but as soon as my lips started to move upon hers, the kiss turned into a war of stubbornness and techniques. I started to show off and so did she. In a minute, she was on my lap, her hands playing with my hair and mine doing the same with her long ponytail.
My only plan was to make her pull away first. She though did not retreat when my tongue separated her surely swollen lips. She instead allowed me to discover her mouth and then her tongue started to battle with mine for dominance. I wanted to keep up the steady rythme but my need for air kicked in. Once I thought about ending the kiss, Cordelia's small hands moved to my chest pushing me lightly away. We both broke the kiss at the same time.
Looking at her now open onyx eyes, I saw my own reflection with dilated eyes and messed up hair. I looked like a total mess while Cordelia just rapidly stood to hide her appearance. Taking few loud breaths , she turned my way revealing red cheeks and swollen lips.
"We will go out by eight." she ordered while I couldn't but nod and walk away.
What the hell just happened ?
