would you have chosen Will or Lord Wessex?” He asked because of his earlier musing.
“That's hard. Most women want to experience passion, to be with a one great love which can last forever. Will could probably give her that but knowing his womanizing ways, he might not stick around forever, leaving her in tears. Apart from that, he was living a poor life, which was stark against her rich living. In terms of social standard, they were very different, which would lead to them having a hard relationship. On the other hand, Lord Wessex could afford to give her everything. Unfortunately, she does not love him. But he does. Although it would be hard to learn to love someone, sometimes you have to. Maybe Will and Viola are just not meant to be. I say that it is better to be loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
So, I would choose Will if I would let passion sweep me off my feet while if I wanted convenience, I would choose Lord Wessex.” She said matter-of-factly. He figured if he could be passionate like Will then he could sweep her off her feet, as the latter was no longer an issue. He could provide for her. He was already wealthy to begin with. If it was passion that he lacked, he knew he had to make up for it just to win her one day.
“So, what do you want to watch next?” He changed the topic because he knew it would be too much to ask her more questions right now. He waited for her response as he stood in front of his movie collection.
“I think I'll pass, boss. I'll get some shut eye for a couple of hours and be out of your bouncy hair soon enough.” She said in a playful tone as she stood up and walked away from him. If only she knew that he did not want her to leave him soon. He wanted to follow her to her room but stopped himself. It was then he saw her phone, which she left on sofa. He grabbed the phone and walked toward her room. She walked slowly which made it easy for him to keep up with her.
“Wait, Ms. Austin. You forgot this.” He said behind her.
She turned around as she heard his voice. He handed her the phone, their fingers touching. He felt the surge of electricity that flowed between them. Gabriel closed his eyes to ignore it, but when he opened them, he saw her looking at him, wondering what was wrong. Her eyes looked so innocent. But his eyes wandered to other parts of face, lingering on her soft lips which he died to kiss this night. It was then he realized that he had already moved closer to her, and her back was already touching the wall that lead to her temporary bedroom.
He had caged her there unknowingly. The distance between them was too close for comfort. He wanted to squirm and move away, but he felt like his feet were glued to the carpeted floor. Juliana smelled him, all clean and masculine. The white t-shirt that he wore molded on to his muscles. The low hanging pajamas made him look domestic, yet he still looked so sexy. How did she end up agreeing to stay here for the night anyway? She licked her lips as she felt them drying, unknowing that such a gesture would be Gabriel's undoing.
The temptation was too much. He had to give in even just for a little while. He lifted Juliana's chin to look at him in the eyes. She continued to look away as she blushed. She clutched her phone close to her chest, uneasy of what would happen next.
“I think you're very beautiful, Ms. Austin and I know you're in love with Michael but right now, all I can ever think about is kissing you...”
Her breath was caught as he leaned closer, planting his soft lips on hers. She initially wanted to push him away, but when she realized how gentle he was being and how good he was at kissing, she felt her guard weakening against him. What was this man doing to her? He broke away from their kiss. He did not force his tongue inside her mouth which she was thankful for, and yet, she knew she never should have let him kiss her.
“I'm sorry. I just had to. I
