A planned kiss

Chapter 27 A planned kiss It was no lie that I really outdid myself at the island. I intentionally bumped into him but the headache I felt as I worked was nerve wracking. Immediately we got back to the hotel,I got on the bed and had a nap. I woke up about an hour later, feeling better and ready for my next course of action. He had said we could go over the designs over dinner but I had slept off. Now that I'm more relaxed, I was ready. I checked out my naked figure still glistening from the shower I just had. I slipped on my underwear and took the nightie gown I had laid on the bed. It was tight fitted as usual and it accentuated my curves in the places that all men love, particularly Royce. Sitting in front of the vanity table, I blew my hair with the hair dryer before combing it, allowing it to cascade on my shoulders. I applied a Nivea lip gloss on my lips, making it shining. Finally satisfied with my look. I took the robe that came with the night wear and put it on. It was a see through, making the inner wear transparent. I took one last look at myself and got ready to go. Tonight is another night in planning my games, I opened the door and walked with confidence towards Royce's suite. Minutes later, my knock sounded on his door, it took him a while to open and when he did his mouth was agape. He was in his night wear too but he was a bit more polite than mine. He took a long look over me and finally looked back at my face 'Myra?" He said finally after getting back his composure. He cleared his throat and blinked a couple of times. 'You're good?" He asked with a bit of surprise in his voice.. 'You said we could look over the designs during dinner but I overslept", I said. 'I could have cancelled,I knew you must be tired too but I kind of wish we'd get this done tonight and not topple it with tomorrow's business, " I said. He seemed to have forgotten but I didn't. He had invited me and I can't overlook it. I had everything planned and nothing can stop me now. Not after getting ready specifically for him. 'I totally forgot," he said just like I assumed, but still,he stepped aside for me to enter. I entered his room and it was exactly like mine but the colour and choice of decorations was a bit different. I took a seat on the sofa in the room while he fished out the tablet with the designs. He dropped it on the table and I opened it. 'Wine?" he asked as he brought out a bottle and held a glass. 'Of course," I said. Wine was going to make things easier for me anyways,I thought. He took another glass and walked to me. Intentionally, I crossed my leg over the other, making the side of the robe fall apart, revealing my thighs. He sat down beside me and poured us some wine. I took the tablets and swiped to the side as I took sips from the wine at regular intervals. 'Here," I said, moving closer to him as I swiped another from the numerous designs in front of him. 'Instead of this, why not go with this?" I said. 'If we go with this, it will help us amplify the space in the lobby. The design looks dreamy and it suits the scenery we saw yesterday," I said. He nodded to my explanation but I noticed that he wasn't listening. Instead, his eyes were drifting to my thighs and whenever he looked at my face, he ended up glaring at my cleavages. 'These are just my thoughts anyway," I said. I knew he was going to accept whatever I say because he has been swallowing his saliva since he saw my cleavages. I did him more favour of moving closer and as we discussed more,he kept pouring me more wine. ****************** About an hour later, I leaned back on the sofa and stretched in the process, my gown drew up a bit. 'I've had enough of the wine, Royce" I said 'Don't tell me you are drunk," he said , moving closer, I pretended to close my eyes as if I was sleeping and I felt him moving closer,his breath fanning my neck. He had intentionally poured me more than I intended to have,so why feign innocence? 'No, not really," I said, opening my eyes. He pulled away as I did this and sipped his wine again. 'I'm just tired," I said 'Of course you are. You did quite a job on the island today, I'm amazed by your strength" he said 'Really? You think I'm strong?" I asked. 'I don't think so," added pitifully. I covered myself and shivered from the coolness blasting from the air conditioner in the room. 'It's funny how people see me as a strong, confident woman." 'And are you not?" He asked in surprise by my vulnerability 'I'm not," I said, laughing bitterly. 'Everything is all facade. No one loves or cares for me, I only have myself in this world. All I get is fake love, people move close to me just to use me to get whatever they want and once they get it, they are gone." 'I'm sure you can't relate," I said, putting more emotions on my face. 'How nice it must be to know how it feels to be loved for me, and not for what I can do for them?" I asked, closing my eyes. His phone buzzed on the table and he took it. He frowned a bit before picking it up. 'Britney," he said into the phone. He listened a bit and smiled. 'Nothing…just working, I need to prepare for tomorrow," he said. He listened again to whatever she had said and it made him blush a bit. 'Alright, I love you too," he said and ended the call. He dipped his phone into his pocket and walked over to me. He was going to say something to me but I cut him off and spoke first. 'That's Britney right? How lucky she is to have you, you must really love her," I said bitterly and this time it was no acting. He was smiling the exact same way he used to do with me before he cheated on me with her. 'Yes, I guess" he said with a bit of uncertainty. 'We weren't together from the start but we are here now," he added and took his seat besides me again ‘Of course I know,' I thought. You used to be mine, you sly bastard. 'You talk as if your relationship is complicated," I said , moving closer to him. He expected him to move away but instead, he stared at my face and my cleavages and then my lips. I knew what was in his mind and saw it as my golden opportunity to nip him down. I leaned forward to him and kissed him right there. He stood still but didn't push me away. I pulled away suddenly, my eyes widely open 'I'm sorry, Royce," I said apologetically. 'It must be the wine,I didn't…it must be the wine, " I said again. Neither of us spoke for minutes that followed. I tried to read him but I couldn't, he merely stared at me. He didn't look angry nor satisfied with what happened. 'I think I should go," I said, standing up and pulling the transparent robe around myself firmly. I moved with unsteady steps as if I wanted to fall and he caught me instantly. He walked side by side with me till we got to the door and opened it, walking out with me. 'I can find my way, Royce," I said, stopping him from following me back to my room. 'Are you sure?" He asked, still holding my hand protectively. Who would have thought that he could be this caring? 'Yes, good night, Royce" I said and walked through the hallway to my room. I got to my room and closed it firmly behind me. 'That went well, " I said into the empty room,smiling to myself. Knowing Royce, he'd probably be in a daze about the kiss. He didn't expect this to happen that way and must be feeling on top of the world. 'This is just the beginning," Royce, you just wait, I said sinisterly.
