Chapter 14: Chapter 14

TAKEN thirteen

They both sat on the same table and placed their order, Allen began eating hungrily without minding if Flora was interested in the food or not, he wasn't going to eat something this better at home anyways, so he took his time, not leaving any grain of the food out. Flora watched her boss eat, it wasn't mannerless though, but it was obvious he was very hungry, she wouldn't blame him. He uses the strength he was supposed to save for later to scold her for not dressing as he wanted.

Allen looked up to see Flora still staring at him without taking a bite from her food. He stopped eating and gently rubbed his mouth with the napkin on the table. He wondered why she stared at him this awkward. "You don't like it?" he questioned her preference of food.

"You can have it if you want" she bluntly said to sound rude on purpose but Allen gladly dragged her own serve of the food and dig his spoon inside. She didn't know how to react but she was sure shocked at that reactor response from him. She let out a chuckle as he wasn't stopping the food. "Are you that hungry?" she complained

"I paid for the food Flora"this was the second time he called her by her name, she didn't know why she kept count but there's this glint of fear that he passes to her from the way her calls her. " If you're that embarrassed of me, you really can leave"he said. There was a bit of threaten in his tone and she wasn't really in for another drama at work tomorrow.

He stopped eating and gulp half a bottle of water on his table. He gave a sigh of satisfaction and looked at her again. This time he laughed shortly and she raises one brow like a questionnaire. "Why do you hate me so much?" he asked. He felt this was the best opportunity to ask her this. And he wanted a direct answer from her. He needed to know why she hated him even when they weren't familiar with each other.

"I don't hate you" she blurted at him, all her face squeezed ready to pass out her frustration on him. He arch his brow at her expression. Vividly one would see the hatred in her face even when she says she doesn't. "I hate your position at work" she said with a little crack in her voice looking to the other side of the restaurant making sure she didn't meet his gaze at that moment. The silence between them was deafening, he didn't know how to react to that, but he definitely saw a soft part of her and that was good.

"Have you been trying to get here. To where I am?"

She chuckled hard. "No. I'm still very new at work, I can't aspire that far, but someone who was worth it was there and..." she stopped talking to reduce the tension from her voice, she was already getting sweaty and nervous and she didn't want to feel weak in front of him. She brought out her phone and pretended she received a message. "I have to go"she said standing to her feet.

" We would talk about this in the car"he stood up too

"No." she shun him. "Don't bring it up-Please"she said. He gaze at her for a short time before agreeing to it. Yes he wanted to know some things but he didn't want to be forward too.

Marcus and Jenifer laughed hysterically at their own jokes. They were obvious-drunk and they cuddled by the small bed in Jenifer's office. They hadn't finished half of the wine and they were ready to gulp down the whole thing. Marcus laughed hysterically again to the joke Jenifer made to the extent of coughing hard. She rubbed his chest to ease him and lay back on it again. They both sighed and stared at the ceiling.

" I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard"Marcus absent mindedly said.

"I can't remember when last I was in a man's arm" Jenifer said too.

"Come here" Marcus turned her over to lay on him and even cuddled her tighter, he loved the smell of her hair and he dig his nose in them, they stayed like that and he rubbed her back and gave her warmth. When his hand mistakenly touched her butt, he removed them quickly and apologized. "I'm sorry" he said. But Jenifer just laughed harder, as a matter of fact she like the quick touch. "Its fine Marcus really" she replied him and he also chuckled, gently putting his hands back on it. She smiled widely and played with his beards as each of them became pre-occupied with their own thoughts.

It didn't take long, with the rubbing of her butts and touching of beards, both started having goosebumps and there seemed to be a deeper contact with their body , they both started shifting their body, so each of their privates could touch and the heat from their body ignited a fire attraction. The silence tensed up the mood a bit better for them and Jenifer hands slowly went from his beards to his neck playing her fingers. Marcus hands also started raising her gown up finger by finger and he started getting hard in anticipation.

She suddenly got off from him and laid on the other side of the bed. He was shocked at first and was bothered if he made the wrong move or took advantage of her. But she dragged him back to her and ask him to lay on her.

"No Jenifer" he hesitated. She cupped his face in her hands and stared directly in his eyes, her eyes full of desire.

"Why?" she asked him.

"My belly weight on you.." he talked sorely

"Hey." she tapped his face with her hands "I do not care okay. I love the way you are Marcus" she assured him. He didn't know if he was to believe that, but every bit of Jenifer's face was purely genuine. He took some seconds for him to adhere to her encouragement, he didn't want to be a burden on her, he didn't want her to complain or have a distaste for him, he just wanted things smoothly and that was what he was planning with Stella too. He wasn't going to trouble her with his weight. He saw that Jenifer insisted and turned over to lay on her, he didn't put all his weight, he really didn't want to press her down or probably ruin the bed.

"Bring it on, I can handle it" she said comfortably and he let out his weight on her, she touched his face and gave him a lovely smile. He wasn't sure if it was because she was a fitness instructor she could handle his weight, but he could feel his own comfort laying on her and he liked it. "Its my turn to cuddle you" she said to him putting his head on her bossom.

"Don't touch my butt" he pointed and she laughed loud and hard, he also joined her laughing and it was more harder because of their drunk state but they didn't really care.

She kissed his forehead and they remained like that till they dozed off.
