Steven's pov:
"Elle..", I slightly shook her while she was sleeping peacefully, snoring. I chuckled at her cuteness. I caressed her cheeks.
Why you're so cute and sexy at the same time? It always turns me on. Huh! What does she think about our relationship? Does she also.. love..me? Like the way I do? Wait. Do I love her? This is so confusing.
She streched her legs and hands as she opened her eyes and looked at me.
"Morning", I said, smilling.
"Yea.. Morning"
Her voice is also become cute after waking up from sleep. Such a baby.
"Sorry for yesterday that I didn't make breakfast for you. I'll prepare the breakfast now"
I nodded. She got up from the bed. Should I ask her about us? Like..does she like me or not? Or something else like that? Yeah, I should.
"So.. Today you don't have any important meeting?", I said, eating my breakfast.
She shook her head. "Not today. But there's so much pressure going on in office"
"Um..I wanna ask you something"
"Yeah? Go on"
"What you think.. about.."
"About?"
"About..our.. ROOM?"
"What?"
"I mean..Do you need to decorate it or something?"
"Nah, it's pretty and cosy so I love it. You don't need to change it"
"Ahh"
Elle's pov:
Should I ask him what he thinks about me? We can't just only stay like this right? Only kissing and hugging..I don't like it. So..I should ask him.
"Ste-"
"Why you're looking so cute even in morning? Some tips of beauty?"
Eww. Why he's..Lol. "Steven.. that's natural beauty! And you atleast don't need any tips. You don't know you're already flawlessly handsome"
"But still. Elle, are you falling for me?"
"Wait, what?"
"Yes or no?"
What he's talking about..? Fuck. Can I say yes? Because I have fallen so hard for him. No. I won't. I'm not sure about his feeling. So let's just say..
"No. Yeahhh! You're rejected!" I said jokingly.
His face becomes blank. There's no expression in his face. Did I say something bad?
"But I'll keep flirting with you"
"Forget it. Because I'm never gonna fall for you, Steven Smith!"
"No matter what you say."
"How long will you keep flirting with me?"
"Untill it turns to a yes"
"Huh. It'll never" I got up from chair.
"I'm going to office, bye", I said as I left for office.
Outside i was chuckling infront of him. But inside, my heart was breaking into pieces. It was so difficult to lie like this.
"Seriously? You rejected him like that?" Kate asked surprisingly.
"I didn't. Did he proposed me? No. He just asked. He was flirting"
"Oh my gosh! You guys are super dummy I swear"
"I'm not dummy. Atleast I know my feelings towards him now. But sadly..he doesn't feel the same love"
"Whatever. Boss called you to his office. You should go"
"Okay. I'll talk to you later"
I went to his office. What it must be? I opened the door and peeked into the room. "Can I come into?" I asked.
"Yes come, Elle"
I stepped into and asked why he called me.
"You have to go to a business trip the day after tomorrow with your other business partners. Got it?"
"Yes sir. I'll pack my things"
"Contract Rianha. She'll tell you more about this. You may go now"
"Sure"
What the..This is my 5th business trip. But why it hurts when he said that? Because I've to..leave Steven? Like for a week.. It's difficult. My heart is already stinging.
"Why you look all sad?" Kate asked.
"I've to go to a business trip and-"
"Wow. It's a good opportunity"
"Shut up. What about..Steven?"
"Ouh! Can't you stay one week without him?"
"I don't know bro"
"Fine. let's go to some cafe, we'll discuss there"
We reached the cafe and unexpectedly I we saw Lee, sitting alone. We approached him.
"Hey, Lee", I said, smiling.
"Oh heyy. How are you guys?"
"We're good obviously", Kate said.
"Oh right right. Have a seat guys. Let's chat"
We talked for sometimes. Kate got a little closer to Lee and I'm happy to see that.
"Guys..I have a sudden party with my old friends. If you guys wanna come along then let's go"
"Sounds good, Kate..You agree?"
"Yeah..but what if we get ignored?"
"Nobody will ignore you guys. So let's go"
We agreed as we went from there. I was walking infront of them, chatting with Rianha, while Kate and Lee walking behind me. I didn't bothered them but I can listen everything they are talking.
"Hey Elle? Are you chatting with Steven?" Kate questioned.
"No no. It's a girl who's saying me about the business trip. Why I'll..text him?"
"Ouh...So Lee, do you have any girlfriend?"
"Um..I had. I slept with him too. What about you?"
"Yeah yeah i also had but I didn't have any serious relationship with any of them. I don't believe in love and all"
"Ahh. So do I"
I chuckled at their conversations. We finally reached at the restaurant they are gathering.
It's cool party tho. We sat along with them.
"Hey? Aren't you Steven Smith's wife?" A lady asked.
"Umm.. yeah but I have my own identity too. Sorry, not tryna be rude"
"Nah it's okay! By the way, I'm Sophie"
"Glad to meet you", we both shook out hands.
A guy beside me asked me to click a photo with him. "I'm Henry" he introduced.
"Myself Elle. Umm..Can you please send this pic to me? This came out so good"
"Sure. I'm posting it on insta too. Can I have your I'd?"
Blah blah blah..We all enjoyed ourselves. And suddenly I missed Steven and observed Kate smilling with Lee. She barely smiles and this is a real smile. I'm happy. I left from there as I missed Steven and I've to arrange everything for this business trip.
Steven's pov:
Who this guy is? What's his name? Amm..Henry. He fucking uploaded a picture with my wife? Like how they met? What my baby doing..She hasn't came yet. And-
Ah there she came, drunk.
"Heyyyy!", She hugged me tightly. I didn't hug back cause I was kind of angry with her.
"What happened? Are you upset at me?"
"No. You're drunk"
"No no. I'm half drunk hehehe. Don't be so ang-"
"Who's this guy?" I said showing her the insta post.
"Ahh he? We just met at the party. Lee, Kate and me went with him to his party and met one of his old friend Henry. There's nothing between-"
"Shh" I forbidden her to speak more. " I trust you babe but you can't be outside at this late without informing me. I worry about you"
"Awww", she cupped my cheeks.
"What's your answer still? Yes or no?"
"It's still a big NO. Idiot!"
I chuckled softly. "So.. Don't you have anything to say me?"
"Oh yeah. I've to go to a business tour the day after tomorrow..", she deadpanned. "For one weeks"
"Oh..Means we won't be able to see each other for one weeks?"
"Hm.. I'll..Not miss you", she smiled.
"I'll not miss you too"
"Don't!"
"Let's sleep Elle. It's so late"
"Yesssss Sir!"
