Uncontrollable Tempration

I left the hospital and drove home with dad’s car. Mum will probably come home with the bus, she hates driving and doesn’t even have her own car.

I got home and quickly took a shower.

My room hadn’t changed much since I left for college. Everything was still intact except they had given most of my clothes to charity because there was no way I would fit into them now.

I checked the remaining contents of my wardrobe for something I could manage to wear. I changed into a white tank top and some shorts I found but they were extremely tight. I wore them anyway since I was the only one at home, and I didn’t bother putting on a bra.

I put on a robe though, and I went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner. I decided to make Spicy Salmon with Bok Choy and Rice. At least that was healthy.

I baste the fish with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper to give it a tasty glaze. The kitchen got hot and steamy so I took of my robe.

After few minutes I was done cooking and I left it in the pot to cool down. I did the washing up and did a bit of cleaning before I collapsed on the couch. I watched TV silently waiting for mum to come back home.

They were showing a old episodes of Desperate Housewives. One of the actors reminded me so much of Lily. They both looked exactly alike, it was so weird.

I remembered my last call with Lily. She had told me the most ridiculous thing ever. I know she over exaggerates a lot but telling me that Mr Wilson said he was in love with me was just a complete lie. I couldn’t believe her. He is a jerk who only wants to use me and dump me the minute he’s done, he doesn’t love me.

I jumped when I heard a knock on the door.

Who the hell was that?!

I checked the time to see it was 5:00pm. Mum said she would be coming through the back door and she had her own keys so that definitely wasn’t her. And I didn’t order anything so who could it possibly be?

Maybe it was the neighbour or something.

I went over to the door and looked through the peephole. My heart started pounding immediately I saw who it was.

Think of the devil and he appears!

What was he doing here?! And how did he know where my parents live?! How did he find me? I am so freaked out right now. Should I open up the door for him?

I ran my hand through my hair, not knowing what to do. I wasn’t prepared to see him yet!

He knocked on the door again, more urgently this time. I took a few deep breaths and decided to open the door.

Hesitantly, I turned the knob and opened the door for him. He was standing there, holding a bouquet of flowers and a card in his hands.

To be honest, he looked good. He was wearing his usual suit but without a tie this time. The first two buttons were undone and I could see a bit of what was beneath his shirt.

“What are you doing here?” I managed to say calmly even though my heart was racing fast.

He just stared at me with wide eyes. He opened his mouth as if to say something but nothing came out. He just kept on looking at me… or something on me…

I looked down at myself and then I noticed he was actually ogling me! My little tank top and tight shorts barely covered my body parts.

I hid part of myself behind the open door and that’s when he finally looked up.

“Hello Ms Parker. I uh… I came here to see you, and your mother.” He said nervously. “I hope you guys are okay?”

“We’re fine thanks but it’s just me at home right now.”

“Oh.” I swear I saw a smile tug at his lips but he hid it immediately. “Can I come in then?”

“Okay.” I opened the door wider for him and he stepped into the house.

What the hell am I doing?!

I really didn’t want to let him in but I couldn’t stop myself from saying yes. My body was so aware of him because he never took his eyes off me.

“Would you like anything to drink? Maybe tea, or coffee?” I offered after closing the door.

“I’ld like some coffee please.” He handed me the flowers and the card. “Uh, the flowers are for you but the card is for your dad. I hope he’s feeling better.”

“Thank you. And yes, he is.” I took them avoiding as much contact with him as possible. It was a get well soon card which was actually really sweet of him. “Do you want the coffee here in the living room, or in the kitchen?”

“The kitchen is fine.” He smiled at me.

My heart did a backflip when I saw his perfect smile. I turned away from him quickly because I know I wouldn’t be able to handle myself.

Why does he have to be so damn sexy?

I put the card on the dining table and went to the kitchen, he followed behind me.

I was extremely uncomfortable walking in front of him in my cotton shorts. I just hoped my butt wasn’t wiggling all over the place. That would be so embarrassing.

I got a vase for the flowers, filled it up with water and put them inside. They were very beautiful but I kept them aside for now, later I would decide where to place them.

Behind me Mr Wilson sat by the kitchen island, never taking his eyes off me once. I could feel his stare like needles pricking my skin but I tried my best to pretend like I couldn’t. I put water in a kettle and boiled it up. I bent down carefully to get the coffee beans and sugar from the cabinet below when I heard him hiss. I looked at him and saw him staring right at my ass.

I knew it!

I wanted to hit him for doing so but I couldn’t blame him. What I was wearing was quite promiscuous, considering the body type that I have.

“Sophia, you never told me exactly what happened to your father.” He asked. He noticed that I caught him looking so he tried to stop.

“He had a stroke and was operated on today. The doctors carried out three surgeries on him but he’s fine now.” I said facing him.

“Wow, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think it was that serious. Three surgeries is a lot.”

He was right. I’ll have to work my ass off to try and pay off the hospital fees.

Then there won’t be any ass for him to look at!

“I know.” I said shakily.

He looked at me as if he was trying to figure out something… I don’t know what but his eyes wondered from my face to my neck and then finally settled on my breasts. My current posture didn’t help things as I had my palms resting behind me on the counter, and my chest sticking out. Deciding not to wear a bra was a terrible decision. As his eyes lingered there I could feel my nipples tighten from awareness and his brows lifted. He noticed.

No matter how badly I wanted to cover up, I just couldn’t bring myself to move. Some part of me enjoyed the way he looked at me… and wanted to show him more. Just like that day in his office, when I showed him all of me.

I should really turn away or maybe put on that robe I had tossed away while cooking, but I couldn’t.

“Sophia…” He started but before he could say anything further, the kettle switch went off. I used that opportunity to quickly turn around and grind the coffee beans, ignoring the weird moment that just happened. There was definitely a strong chemistry between us and I couldn’t deny that.

“How many sugars?” I asked him as I made the coffee

“None. I was going to say that I will be attending a meeting in Michigan two days from now. It’s between me and the board of directors of the Sytner Group.”

“That’s great.” I placed the cup in front of him. “Would you like some milk with that?”

“No thanks. You know how I like my coffee.” He said.

“That’s true. I was just making sure because its a bit late.”

I decided to look for my robe and put it on. But before I got passed him he gently held my arm, stopping me from leaving.

“I want you to come with me Sophia.”

I looked at him incredulously.

Is he serious?

Does he expect me to leave my family and go to Michigan with him?! The whole point of taking a leave was to get away from work (and him).

“I’m sorry but I’m needed here in Richmond so I cannot come with you.” I tried not to speak harshly.

“But I need you there with me, you’re my PA.”

“I took a leave Mr Wilson, you can find someone else to go with.”

Maybe he could take that blondie he was kissing in his apartment the other day.

“I don’t need just anyone to accompany me, I’m not going for recreation, I’m going for business.”

“I can’t believe you want me to leave my family and come with you just like that. My mother needs me here and my dad is sick! He just had three operations today! I can’t just take off!”

“Okay Sophia, calm down.” He slowly tried pulling me towards him.

“No! Get your hands off me!” I struggled and he let me go. “I can’t believe how selfish you’re being right now!”

“Please, there’s no need to get angry, just listen to me.” The way he acted like it wasn’t a big deal made me even angrier.

“How did you even find me here?! Huh?! You think you can just show up randomly and expect me to-”

He didn’t let me finish speaking before he pulled me flush against him and kissed me.

I fought him with all my strength, no matter how much I wanted to, I wouldn’t give in to him this time. He noticed I wasn’t kissing back and he pulled away. I pushed him off me and acted out of impulse.

I slapped him.

“How dare you! Don’t you ever kiss me again!” He didn’t seem to be affected by the slap I gave to him because he didn’t even move.

“But you kissed me.” He referred to that day I made out with him in his office.

“That was different! I wasn’t being a savage like you!” I shouted. “You need to leave now and don’t come back!”

I heard the back door click.

Mum was here!
