Chapter Thirteen
The next day, Julianna drove her new car to college. Her friend at college, Sarah Howard was awestruck by it. Sarah lived nearby and they helped each other regularly with each other's studies.
After college, Julianna drove to her office. She parked in the underground parking area and went upstairs to her cubicle. Thankfully Rosemary Davis wasn't waiting for her and she could start her work in peace.
However Arthur Nelson came for an update. He kept staring at her as if he wanted to say something. After taking an update on the work that he had given her, he kept sitting beside her, peering into her computer.
"Is there anything else that you want me to do, sir?" She asked.
"No, not work. I just wanted to ask you something, " he said, hesitantly.
"What?" She asked in confusion.
"I like you. Will you have dinner with me tonight?" He asked her, staring straight into her eyes.
"I, sir, actually, I'm not available today, " she said, unable to cook up any excuse at the last minute.
"Please call me Arthur. No problem. We can go another time, right?" he asked and she nodded. He left and Julianna released her breath with relief.
She was lost in her work the next few hours. She got herself coffee and again submerged herself in her work. By the time she was done, it was already 7 in the evening.
She wrapped up and left to go down to her car. Her eyes went round to see Vincent leaning against her car, waiting for her.
"Hi, what are you doing here?" Asked Julianna.
"Waiting for you," he said casually. "So, did you like your car? I chose it for you at dad's insistence."
"Yeah, I love it. Thanks," she gushed happily.
"Follow me in your car. I want to show you something," he said, going towards his own car.
"Ok," she agreed, climbing inside and following him out of the office building.
Vincent reached his apartment and parked his car. Julianna too followed and parked at the parking lot for guests. "Where are we?" She asked him, taking in the beautiful lakeside condominium.
He smiled and led her to the elevator. Reaching the top floor, he led her outside the elevator, down the plush corridor to a door. He punched a security code and the door opened. Julianna gasped at the huge tastefully decorated apartment.
"Welcome to my home, " he said.
"You've moved out of your parents' house?" She asked him.
"Yeah, had to. Mom was getting to my nerves," he confessed. Julianna sat down on the plush sofa. Vincent got two glasses of fresh lemonade from the refrigerator and handed one to her.
He sat down on the sofa beside her. "I made it in the morning for you, " he said and she sipped, loving the perfectly refreshing taste.
His legs brushed her thighs sending goosebumps along her body. His arm went around her and he caressed her hair.
"It's too good," she said and Vincent smiled.
"What do I get in return?" He asked, his eyes travelling to her plump pink lips.
"What do you want?" She asked, boldly.
"Oh, you can't give me what I want," he said, staring into her eyes daring her to ask.
"Ok, tell me what you want, " she asked, finishing her lemonade and placing the empty glass on the centre table.
"I want to make love to you, I want to marry you, I want you to move in with me, I want babies with you. Can you give me all that Anna?" He asked solemnly with sadness in his eyes knowing fully well that it wasn't in her hands.
Julianna lowered her eyes,"No, I wish I could give you," she said. Vincent scooped her in his arms and placed her on his lap.
"Then kiss me. You can surely give me a kiss," he said, winking. His hand went around her as he pulled her close to his body, fusing them together, not leaving an inch between themselves. Her skirt rode up and he groaned seeing her wickedly inviting red lacy lingerie underneath.
He lowered his head and claimed her lips in a hungry, passionate kiss. His tongue plunged inside, playing with hers, tasting he. He couldn't get enough of her. His other round hand touched her creamy thighs going higher up towards her dripping wetness. His fingers touched her mound over the lace-clad panties and she gasped. His naughty fingers pulled aside her panties and thrust inside her dripping wetness.
"You're so wet for me, Anna. Tell me has anyone touched you like this?" He asked hoarsely as he sucked her neck.
Julianna moaned his name,"No," she answered.
"Good, you're only mine. Do you understand. All mine," he said, in a possessive and husky tone. He continued his torture on her. His fingers thrust into her in a wild rhythm till she released her juices into his fingers. He licked them clean and then kissed her mouth passionately.
Their stomachs grumbled with hunger and Vincent chuckled. "Let's make dinner," suggested Julianna.
She raided his pantry and found nothing. "You have nothing. What will I cook?" She pouted.
"Let's order today. You can cook tomorrow," he said, quickly ordering pizza.
"Tomorrow? We can't come here everyday," she said hesitantly.
"Why not?" He asked.
"It's too risky Vincent. You're engaged and I don't want anyone seeing us together, " she said nervously.
"I don't care," he said casually. He really didn't care. He was forced to be engaged to Sienna. He tried to convince them to change their minds but they stubbornly refused to do so.
"I do Vincent. I can't face my dad," she said in a small voice.
"How do they face you? Don't they feel guilty for snatching away everything from you? Learn to be a little selfish, Anna, " he said irritatedly.
"I can't. Please understand, " she pleaded.
"Ok, we'll meet whenever you want to. Is that fine?" He asked, caressing het cheek.
"Yes, " she answered.
The pizza arrived and they attacked the delicious food. Both were very hungry after a tiring day at their office.
"I need to go home, Vincent. Dad will be worried," she said. Vincent came closer and kissed her mouth gently.
"Ok, drive safely," he said and she left with a smile on her lips.
She reached home with a happy smile hovering over her lips. Parking her car, she walked up to the front door and opened it. She saw her dad sitting tensed and angry in the living room. Her mom nervously looked at her as she entered. Now what had she done?
She closed the door after her. Her dad got up from his seat. "Follow me to the study Julie. We need to talk, " he said angrily. Her mom too got up and followed him to the study. Sienna continued with her cooking without casting a glance towards them.
Julianna followed her parents into the study, her heart beating fast out of nervousness. She had no idea what they needed to talk to her about.
