Hugo's maid was kind enough to let me enter and led me to Hugo's room.
"Hugo?" I asked as I knocked lightly on his bedroom's door.
There was no response so I crept in. The room was absolutely pitch black. I tried reaching for switches beside the doorway but no luck so I slowly entered his room.
I can hear my heart beating, beating from fear. It felt like I was entering a devil's cell.
"Sofia."
I almost screamed from fright after hearing the coarse voice that echoed through the walls of the room.
"Hugo?"
The moment I spoke the door closed.
"Okay, this is not funny. Where are you Hugo?"
I took a step back until I felt the wall.
"Please this isn't funny."
"Sofia."
This time it was a whisper.
"Hugo."
The wall from behind me disappeared so I turned back. I was heaving heavily and my feet were feeling numb.
"Sofia!"
Hugo held me from behind and just like reflex I turned around and wrapped my arms around him.
"Please, take me out of here." I pleaded as I cried in his chest.
"Hey, hey, we're out. It's okay." He hushed and caressed my hair.
"That was not funny." I angrily spoke and punched his chest.
"I know, I'm sorry. What are you doing her anyways?"
"I came to bring some files the HR Department wanted you to sign." I sniffed and handed him the folder.
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"No. I'm fine, thank you."
It got silent for a while. I watched him as he reads the paper. He really changed and he turned out really manly, sexy, and yummy. Sofia, think straight! I scolded myself and even slapped my cheeks.
"Is something wrong?" He asked.
"Ah-Uhmm.. I was just thinking of something."
"Of what? Me?" He smirked.
"Oh- are you done?" I asked, changing the topic.
"Thanks, I should go." I stood up and took the folder.
"Wait." He said and held my hand.
"You came for something else." He said huskily.
I couldn't respond, his eyes were locked with mine and when he knew I was paralyzed he lowered his head and meet it with my hand.
"You smell nice, is that vanilla?"
"I-I should r-really go."
"What do you want to know?"
He pulled my hand and placed it to his chest, sliding it down till I reached his belt. I pulled my hand and our eyes were locked with each other again, making me stiff.
I took a deep breath.
"I want to know why you want to take a month leave?"
He didn't respond, instead he moved closer to me. I kept my eyes on his chest as our bodies moved closer leaving an inch space.
"I'll answer you if you look me in the eye."
I took another deep breath and nervously lifted my head.
"Don't be scared I won't harm you."
"I just want...a...taste." Our faces moved closer until his lips claimed mine.
He kissed me hungrily, it wasn't lust or love. The kiss was of no emotion.
"Amber." He said in between kisses.
I pulled away and slapped him, having my left hand cover my mouth. I rushed out of his place with tears forming in my eyes.
I can't believe I let him even kiss me.
I pulled out a wet wipe from my bag and wiped my lips, removing, hoping that the taste and the feeling would fade.
I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes and fastened my pace.
Beeeeeeepppp!
My body shook, I almost got hit by the car.
"Miss?" The driver got out from his car.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I apologized. And finally, I crouched down and cried.
"Sofia!"
"It's okay sir she's with me."
"No! Leave me alone!" I screamed.
"Sofia, please just come with me." Hugo pleaded.
Since we were catching a lot of attention I stood up and got out of the road.
Hugo guided me and held my arm.
"Don't touch me!" I hissed and moved away from him.
"Come on, I'll drive you home." He motioned me to sit in the passenger's seat.
The whole ride was quiet. I could feel Hugo glancing to my side but I ignored him.
After he pulled over, he held my hand.
"Look, I'm sorry about befor-"
"Is that your new chain of words to me? I'm sorry? Then it was Thank you, now it's Sorry. Am I expecting a new word after your leave?" I asked out of rage.
"If you're not answering then I should go. So what should I say? Thank you? You're welcome? You're welcome for having me become your vessel of pain again. Maybe Vivian's right I'm too gullible, I was so stupid, I wasted my time worrying for you when all this time your attention was laid on Amber." I spoke and unbuckled my seatbelt before exiting his car and entering my house.
