Chapter 27 A KISS

Erica’s wedding played a very important role in getting me where I am at present. Had it not been for the wedding, then I would have no clue how I would have been married to Charles. But one very important event happened much before the life-changing event, which is the wedding that took place.

The important event was when I realized that I had been to every nook and corner of this house, but I hadn’t been to Charles’s room ever. We usually spent time together either in the garden or in the living room. He would also walk into the room that I was staying in, and we spent some time together even over there. But he had never called me to his room.

It must have never happened that I really saw any of the servants walking into his room. They would be cleaning the whole house all the time because Charles has always been a clean freak since the start that I have known him, but because I hadn’t seen anyone actually going into his room to tidy it up, that was something which didn’t seem right.

So, on the first official trip which he had when I moved into his house, I had made up my mind to somehow get a glimpse of his room. I assumed that it would be easier for me since I saw nobody going to his room, and during the afternoons, no one would even come to the first floor. That would be the perfect time for me to enter his room, and then I thought I could take my time inside his room if needed, otherwise a quick sneak peek would suffice.

I got myself ready for the big task that I had planned to undertake and was waiting for Charles to leave. I was in the living room where the big staircase led, as that is where I planned to see him off. A little impatient that my excitement took control of my desire to know what he had behind those big doors which he normally kept shut all the time.

Even though I was also sad because Charles was going to be away for a couple of days, and that was the first time I would be staying in his house without him, I couldn’t control my smile which was prominent. My face showed nothing but a smirk which was difficult for me to wash away, and I felt pretty embarrassed about it.

As I turned my head to see if Charles was coming down, my eyes got stuck at him when I saw him talking to James. He was looking extremely irresistible in a black Armani suit and magnificent shoes the brand of which was very hard for me to guess. I couldn’t believe it one more time that I was living with such a desirable man. Who was not only handsome but also super sexy and well-settled.

I got up from the couch and went to the stand at the base of the staircase so that he would see me first as soon as he enters the hall. To my surprise, he continued talking to James and did not acknowledge me at first when he should have. Instead, in the middle of his conversation, he put his hand behind my head and pulled me closer to him. He kissed my forehead while he was still talking with James.

He kissed me! Oh my God! Charles kissed me! Mr. Lozano kissed me! No, no, CEO Charles Lozano kissed me on my forehead! That was my reaction to it, literally. I continued to stand there like I had become a statue. My jaw had dropped after that action of his because why would he kiss me if I wasn’t his girlfriend?!

However, the servants didn’t have the expression that I expected them to have. They should have been equally surprised, especially after each one of them knew that Charles and I had different rooms back then, and we slept separately each night. The look on their faces looked as if nothing big really happened; it was as if Charles and I were partners.

Just after Charles got into the car, he smiled at me and winked. Either he was in a very good mood that day, or he was having a stroke. In those couple of months that I was there, he had never done anything of that sort which reflected any kind of intimacy between him and I. And right before he departed for his business trip, he kissed me on my forehead.

Maybe I was overthinking at that point, or maybe it was just the start of a beautiful life. But that kiss of his triggered so many thoughts in me. One of which was that he was initiating something more between us and showing me that he was interested in me sexually.

Perhaps I felt that way because it was high time for me to get closer to him given the way that I had been feeling for him with my emotions racing with the pace of my heart. Adding on to that, the way he touched me and the smell of him which lingered even for a few minutes after he left from there drove me wild, and I wanted him at that very moment.

It took me a while to get a hold of myself and come back to the reality from my dreamland that I had started to live after I was made to feel as if I was CEO Charles Lozano’s girlfriend. I came to terms with knowing that I would be living alone in this mansion with so many people who took wonderful care of me.

Once things in my mind settled down, I headed to the first floor where Charles and I had our rooms as I remembered the plan which had to be executed after Charles left, and the plan that I also made up my mind for. As I went back to my room, I assessed the situation of the house to understand where each servant was and if it looked like anyone of them would be coming on top.

When everything seemed proper to me, and I felt safe to carry out my plan to enter the only one room that I had not gotten into during the time that I had been here, I left my room very quietly. Keeping my eyes and ears open to know if the path was clear and no one was coming, my heart was beating very loudly as I opened the bedroom which belonged to Charles.
