Chapter Fifteen
Dark clouds filled the sky. Ann stir and open her eyes to the white ceiling above her before slightly moving her head to the right. There he was ...sound asleep on the bed snuggling up against her with his bruise hand laying aross her stomach. After they had done the deed on the couch, Aum carried her in his arms and walk up the stairs to the bedroom. How did he know which room belonged to her? However, they didn't sleep right away... he ride her once more. Now she's exhausted, sore and didn't know if she'll have the energy to even work today. Sigh. Ann touch his knuckles carefully not to wake him up then she removed his hand from her stomach slowly and softly to the side. She push the blanket from her body and climb out of bed quietly, walking to get her robe from the bathroom before going down the stairs.
Ann didn't quite make it to the kitchen like she had intended to. Instead, she slump at the bottom of the stairs and weep in the dark. If only I find a boyfriend sooner...none of this would happen... The raw images of what happen between them flashes through her mind. He didn't leave any part of her body untouched with his lips...kissing, sucking, and god licking.
"Billie, I want to wait for our wedding night." She pull away after their intense make-out session
"I don't see the reason why we have to wait. We're going to getting married soon or later." He grumpily said, getting quite frustrated.
Ann turn around and pull out a gift. "I want it to be special and it would mean the world to me if you promise we'll wait." Billie eyes light up, reaching for the box. "Only if you promise me first."
He rolled his eyes, "Promise." He takes the box and opens it. "Rolex baby."
She made Billie promise to wait only to lose herself to Aum in the worst case scenarios. Revenge.
He woke up to find her side empty. Quickly, he was on his feet, naked, and march down the hall toward the stairs to see a figure at the end of the stairs. "What are you doing?" Is she crying?
Ann quickly wipe away the tears with her hands and move from the stairs to the kitchen in a swiftness.
Aum turn on the lamp to find his clothes scattered across the floor as he pick each piece and wears it. Next to his pant was her dress. He pick it off the floor and walk to the kitchen. Her back facing him, unmoving. One part of him wanted to hug her oh so tightly but the other part, his hardcore grudge still remain despite she was a virgin for him.
"I expect you at work....on time." He waited a few seconds for a response but none. Aum turn and left.

Aum enter his suite and threw his tuxedo jacket against the couch then proceed to his room to strip off the rest of his clothes except his boxers. His minded clouded with Ann face as he walk to his exercise room. No gloves, he started to hit the punching bag. Each punch hard and fierce, ignoring the pain in his knuckles. Sweat begin to form across his forehead. I only wanted a taste and now.... now the taste have complicated the entire plan. What am I going to do now?!? His breathing heavy while the punches continue rapidly. AH!!! Aum let out a scream before slumping to the floor. "What am I going to do now?" In that precise moment, he realize his heart still wanted her after all these years.
It rain as soon as Ann stepped off the bus. "Great." she mumble. She wanted to walk faster but still sore down there. "Please don't let it rain hard yet" Well, her prayer didn't get answer when it poured. She use her small purse to try and cover her head when someone walk beside and shield her with an umbrella. "Tai."
"Hi Ann."
"Thanks for the umbrella." She smile and grateful. otherwise she will be a wet dog by the time she reach the hotel.
"Anytime. I heard you're working as an assistant now."
Her smile turn grim. "Yea...."
"Why the grim face? Is it that bad?" He face turn serious.
She force a smile. "No, it's just... I'm still learning stuff."
Tai smile and open the door for her. "Don't worry, you're a fast learner.. "
They stop in the lobby. "Thanks for the umbrella again Tai."
"My pleasure." He stood there and smile sweetly at her and she couldn't help but smile back. "I have to get going now."
"Me too. Have a good day at work."
She force another smile knowing her day would be hell. "I'll try..." her voice limp after seeing Aum walking right by them staring pretty hard. "Bye." She said and started walking. Once at her desk, Sue appeared. Awesome.
"Is boss in yet?" Sue voice in a high pitch.
Ann focus on the computer. "Yes..."
Before Sue could ask Ann about the fight rumor at the last night event, Aum appeared in the doorway.
"Boss!" Sue walked over to him and lifted his hand wrapped up in white bandages. "What happened? Don't tell me you were involved in the fight?"
Aum half smile. "It's nothing... I've been hurt worst than this."
"You were never hurt when WE went out to events together." Sue gave Ann a mean glare.
Ann ignored them and concentrate on typing up documents for the day. Maybe I should quit.
"What brings you to my office this morning?"
"I heard about the fight and wanted to make sure you were okay..."
"Thanks... still sweet Sue like I remembered."
"Only to you boss. Only to you" She sigh. "well i better get back..let me know i fyou need anything and i mean anything."
"I will. Enjoy your day.." He said, watchin her walk to the door but stop in front of Ann's desk. "Take better care of boss, or else."
"Or else what?" Ann respond back without hestation. "if you want this postion back so badly, you can have it."
Sue remained in her sweet mode but really, she was fuming! What is that?? is that what i think it is??? "Is that a hickey on your neck?!"
Ann face turn red with her hands quickly pulling the short lenght turtleneck up. Damn you Sue!!! The neck wasn't the only area with marks.
Sue turn to look at Aum who displayed a straight face, unaffected by her comment. She then starts walking to the door.
Totally Mortified. Ann turn to look at Aum who now displayed a mischevious smile on his face. "I need to you see in my office. Now."
She grunted her teeth and went in his office. Maintain distance. He was on the couch looking relaxed.
"Who's the boss here? Me or You."
Ann stare at him unblinking. "You."
"Good... you still remember because i don't want to ever hear you telling another person they can have your position."
"I sure can because I quit." She turn around to leave. This prove to be too difficult. Looking at him only bring back images of last night.
Ann walk to her desk to get her purse quickly but Aum was right on her heels. He pull her body into his arms. "you can't quit. I won't let you."
"We're even now!" She yelled in his face at the same time, trying to free herself from his embrace. "What more do you want from me?"
Aum smirk. Even? Not even close. "I will drive you to your apartment at noon so you can pack a few things. Then we're leaving for my beach resort afterward. I have business to attend and the documents need to ready by noon also." He release her and straigthen his suit. "If you quit here, i promise you. It will be your worst nightmare...ever." Aum walk back to his office leaving Ann in tears.
