Comfortable can wait!

Chapter 25 Comfortable can wait! I yawned heavily and stretched on the comfy bed. It was a little after 8 am in the morning. We had gotten quite late to Italy the previous light. Not going to lie,the ride was a bumpy one and I was all achy. We had lodged in the exact hotel I caught him with Britney three years ago. The exact feeling I had was exactly the same I had when I visited the house,so it was easier for me to quickly get over it rather than feel moody. I cracked my neck to the left and I felt some pain there. It was expected with the posture I forced myself to sleep in on the plane yesterday. I grinned, sitting upright and stared at my reflection in the morning and perplexed by the guts I had to pull all that I pulled. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I could do that. If I were still Bella,I was sure that I'd mess everything up. 'Well, too bad I'm no longer Bella," I said. I knew I had to find a way to get closer to Royce and so, lying about being afraid of flying to as one I had to pull immediately and get things sorted. I never thought he'd buy it though, how could he have thought that I'd find such a thing frightening when I've been flying since I was a child? Like most men, I knew he'd feel like my prince charming and would want to protect me from the situation. Intentionally, I'd moved close to him and pulled my bosom to him. And he seemed to like what I did because he had ordered everything to be brought for me. How Naive! I thought and laughed out in the room. I had intentionally used the exact Choco Musk and Vanilla body mist he loved in the same amount I knew he licked. I had sprayed it in the crucial places especially in my cleavages and my wrist. Years back, he'd compliment how I'd smelled nice and sniffed me out. It worked then and it worked again, I saw how he had softened his gaze as he looked at me and let me rest on him, my head on his shoulders. The fool! He thought he was using me? I noticed how his touch had lingered than normal while I had pretended to sleep on his shoulders. And he swore to protect me? Someone I've spent the last three years devising means to make his life insufferable want to protect me? We'll see who has the last laugh. The knock on the door, brought me back to reality and I stood up to answer it. I wasn't expecting anyone soon and Priscilla won't be there until an hour later. I picked my robe from the sofa and pull it over my shoulders. 'Room service," he said as soon as I opened the door. I frowned and wondered maybe he had mistaken because I didn't remember asking for one yet. 'It's from Mr. Robben," he said, sensing that I was confused with the look on my face. At this, I smiled and made way for him to come inside. He dropped the wheel and went out. The first thing that caught my eye was the card on the covered plate. I opened it and saw that it was an hand written message from Royce 'Hey, how are you this morning? I know yesterday wasn't too good but I hope you are much better. Our meeting is in an hour. Eat and freshen up! The location is on the island, don't forget to wear something comfy!" 'Of course I'm fine, dummy head, " I said, smirking. I checked the message again. He had mentioned the location once but now that he had reminded me again,I sure was going to put on something comfortable…and hot. For as many days as we'll be spending here, I'm going to put on everything that'll make his eyes glued to me. ************* His back was to me as I walked into the lobby. He was sitting down and talking to a few of some of his associates that I knew. I adjusted my jumpsuit once more and lose one of the buttons. The jumpsuit sure looked provocative but it is professional at the same time. Any man with tails in his legs would wither at the sight of my outfit, especially as it clung to my body in the right places. Royce loved women who were endowed in the chest area and so, showing a bit of my cleavages wouldn't hurt. I knew the men with him might like what they see also but I had no business with them. It was Royce I needed to be keep his eyes on me. Just as I moved close to where he sat, he looked back and met my eye. 'I knew I smelled something that smelt like you," he said and I smiled inwardly. Of course you remember, I thought. I came round to him , allowing him catch a full glimpse of my body. He cleared his throat and looked at me from head to toe in a way that I remembered vividly what it means; he loved what he was seeing. I take it you are ready am he asked and I nodded. He stood up and we all followed him. He took us to his private yacht which took us to the Island. On the yacht, I made sure to sit Very close to him at first, then I stood up and admired the sight before me. The fact that I'm surrounded by water brought calmness to my body, making me forget about vergence and whatever I had in mind. I was engrossed in this when I felt a presence behind me. Intentionally, I turned around as If I was leaving whyi was and bumped into him 'Ouch," I said because it really was painful as I collided into him and in the process hit my head with his. 'That's getting sour," he said. I exclaimed again, feigning pain. 'Could I get some ointment on it?" I said and he nodded , beckoning to me to follow him.
