CHAPTER 13
DESIRE
~ROMEO’S PENTHOUSE~
After having gone to the hospital after work, she came back home a bit late and it was all due to the test the nurses had told her to carry out.
They couldn’t tell her what was wrong until a test had been carried out and the result will be out the day after tomorrow.
As soon as she walk into the house she saw him seated on one of her favourite sofa having papers spread out on his desk while talking on the phone to someone.
As soon as he saw her approach, he ended the call and stared at her.
“So you’ve finally decide to come home. I thought you will stay out long with those male colleague of yours” Romeo told her softly.
“As you can see am here and by the way my male colleague as you put it leave work before I do which makes me the last person to leave the kitchen” she replied.
“Really? That should some how put my mind at ease right?” Romeo asked.
“It should and unlike you, I wouldn’t do something that will put your company in jeopardy, so put your mind at rest on that score” she told him.
“That should be comforting but somehow it doesn’t, I saw you when you walked into the cafeteria with them today”
“Were you spying on me?” She asked.
“You flatter yourself. Do you think you are that important?” He asked.
“Then how come you…..”
“I only went there to eat. It’s my company and I have a right to eat wherever I want to right?” He asked and she nodded in reply.
“You have” she replied as his phone began to ring again and while she turned to leave he motioned for her to stop.
“Have been working endlessly and I haven’t eaten,cook me something” he said as soon as he ended the call.
“Cant you just order a food to eat?” She asked.
“I have a wife who is a chef in my company and yet you want me to order, no way in hell” he said and angrily she put down her bag to help him cook something up.
It was a while later that she returned with a sandwich.
“What the h’ll is this?” He asked.
“Your dinner” she told him looking pleased at having infuriate him.
“You call sandwich a dinner?” He asked.
“It’s a perfect food people eat, if you aren’t going to eat then I will Just eat it myself” she said wanting to take it when he pushed her hand away.
“You intentionally did this to piss me off right?” He asked as he bit into the sandwich.
Mainly to piss him off and also because she didn’t want to cook knowing that it might end up being tasteless. She’s been yelled on by Charles, she won’t let Romeo do the same.
“Why can’t I piss you off? You’ve also been pissing me off with your dirty insinuations, so enjoy the sandwich and I hope it keeps you more hungry instead of satisfying your hunger” she said hotly as she stood up to leave and unknown to her Romeo mouth curve in a smile which he disguised quickly.
“We are going to see my mom tomorrow” he told her smoothly.
“Really? What about work?” She asked.
“You will just have to be absent. We leave by ten and make sure you look the happy bride cause am sure my mom called to find out about our relationship” he told her.
“Obviously she’s meant to suspect when her son travelled a whole month immediately after his wedding and also he was seen with his lovers” she said.
“That doesn’t matter and I don’t care about your opinion on what have been doing for the past one month”
“I know you won’t but I wonder what your Mom will think once I tell her about the reality of our marriage” she said.
“Are you threatening me?” He asked.
“Just wanted you to know” she told him.
“Don’t even think of telling her the truth when you see her tomorrow” he said getting up which got Marie running to her room.
“I will do whatever I want” she said poking her tongue out at him before shutting the door on his face.
“She really is infuriating!” He said before going back to his business.

~ THE NEXT DAY ~
“Am ready” Marie said as she walked out of her room in a plain blue dress.
“What’s that?” Romeo asked taking in her clothe.
“What’s what?” She returned.
“Isn’t that too drab for you?” He asked eyeing her clothe.
“It isn’t and it’s the best clothe have got ” she told him as she twirled around while he frown at her.
“You call this best? What have you been doing with the allowance I made for you?” He asked.
“I told you that I don’t want your money and I mean it, once I get my first pay cheque then I will indulge in buying my own clothes” she told him with pride as she walked past him.
He didn’t argue with her and she thought he had given in to her but she was wrong because instead of driving to his mom flat, he took her straight to an expensive boutique.
“You really don’t give up” she told him fiercely.
“I don’t now get out of the car before I force you to” he told her and she went with him.
“Welcome Mr Brooks” the attendant greeted as soon as he walked in.
“Bring me the catalogue” he said with authority as he went to seat
“You’ve obviously been here countless of times” Marie noted.
“Of course have been ” he replied starring at the catalogue the lady had brought.
“With countless of girls” she added and this time he stared at her.
“What? You know that am……” She stopped talking when he moved close to her on the sofa they were both seated on.
“Not with countless of girls, have been here as have said but with mom or grandma and you are the third girl have brought here too, you should feel honoured” he told her still having his face close to hers.
