LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Her eyes stare at him in anticipation. Derrick stayed silently watching her beg, it amused him to know she was so concerned and eager to know Bruce was to Keane. Could it be that she’s falling for him? ’cause if she had, then the gods must be praised for doing such a miraculous wonder.

Not like she isn’t capable of loving someone. He just hopes she will be able to sway him into liking her. Keane has a way of shoving ladies away, only God knows for how long he will keep on being single, waiting for what he’s not sure of.

His silence only increases her curiosity and her brow twists in displeasure. Derrick’s lips spread into an, even more, widened smile.

“You seem eager to know!” He stated the fact. She lowers her head in embarrassment, sure enough, what she’s been trying to hide all these while has been exposed. Or maybe not.

“Maybe I won’t be if you just spit it out” she grumbles. He burst into laughter, finding her cute and funny.

“What if I don’t?” He asked. She stares at him thoughtfully while rubbing her chin.

“Then I have no choice but to tear your flesh into tiny pieces of pizza slices” She was annoyed by his unending suspense.

“Wow, such a tigress !” He exclaims. Holding on to his chest as if scared of her.

“Maybe not…I don’t think I have the strength to tear you but I think I will be able to ignore you, at least” She said in a defeated tone. He felt sorry for her but what could he do? It’s what he’s best at doing anyway and there was no way he could have let her slide out of his hands without teasing her.

“Ah, that hurts…I prefer you tear me up instead, at least I get to still see you” He jokes pretending to be hurt by her words. If glare could ki, he would have been dead with the spear-like glare she was giving him now. He takes in a heavy breath and exhales.

“Fine…I will tell you” he said in a defeated tone. She was no longer interested in what he had to say.

“As if I care” She stood up from her seat, making her way to the door.

He follows her behind, struggling to explain.

“Bruce is no one special to him!” He said. She stops and turns to him.

“Then who is he and what role does he play in his life?” She asked. Derrick raises both brows with his mouth forming an ‘O’.

“Thought you said you don’t care?” He asked with raised brows, reminding her of her words. She was so fed up listening to him testing her level of tolerance.

“I will spank you in the ass if you keep testing my patience” She warns, grinding on her teeth.

He was amazed at her boldness and overconfidence. With the look on her face, it’s as if in a chance to spank him, she won’t hesitate.

“You would have been a colder one if you were rich…thank goodness you aren’t” He sighed in relief wiping an Invisible sweat.

She heard him murmur something.

“What?” She asked.

“Huh? Was saying Bruce is his driver, nothing more” He explains.

Smiles and hearts dance in excitement at his words. Of course, she was right…he wasn’t gay. But if she was so confident he wasn’t gay, why was she all eager to know he was to him?

Maybe it was just her curiosity kicking in. A smile formed on her lips, as she stood there, staring at nothing.

“Hey, common now! We were heading somewhere” He pulls her, leading her outside to their usual spot.

He pulls out a seat for her, as usual, and takes his opposite hers. They kept on chatting and laughing.

The waiter came and they gave their orders. Derrick’s hands mistakenly fall on Smiles’ hand, she could feel his tomb caressing the back of her hands. She tries to ignore it, thinking it will stop but it doesn’t. He kept on doing it, smiling at her as if he wasn’t doing anything.

She frowns, staring at his tomb still working on hers.

“Never knew you were so much in love with me until now,” She said. Staring at him straight in the face. Derrick frowned at her words.

“What!?” He asked. Confused as to what she is talking about.

“You didn’t get me or you just want me to repeat myself?” Her tone was sarcastic. Derrick smiles.

“I heard you, clean and clear. Just wanted you to say again” he winked at her, smiling. She pulls her hands away, staring at him suspiciously.

“And it’s no crime to love beauty like you, is it? I am not bad either…together we make a perfect match ” he flashes her his most charming smile. Smiles scoff in irritation.

“Don’t tell me this handsome face isn’t capable of handling such a beauty like yours? You know, girls drool over my good-looking cute face” he said in praise of himself, touching his face.

Smiles didn’t know if he was doing it on purpose or not. Gosh! It’s so annoying.

He is handsome, good, and fine but he is in no way in comparison to Keane. That’s too much, he is actually, in terms of looks but to her, Keane rules overall.

Wait! Was she just praising Keane just now? Hell fuck!! She did…

This is freaking amazing.

She takes a deep breath, trying to get rid of Keane from her head. She can’t be thinking about him talkless of her comparing him and Derrick.

“You are good-looking, that’s for sure!” She said Derrick ran his hands through his hair, happy she said he was good-looking.

“But, I can’t fall for you…you are not my type,” she said, shaking her head with a twisted mouth.

Derrick’s face dropped at her words. She felt it, the change of the atmosphere around them. From a cheerful to a sad one, making her start judging herself inwardly. Even if she didn’t like him, she could at least say it nicely. But what other ways was there that she could say it? She wasn’t used to treating men and their feelings nicely anyway…
