** THE COMPETITION**
~FEW DAYS LATER ~
“Me?” She asked starring at Caleb.
“Please! You know that if I have to take this invoice to the top floor, I will have to see Susan and you know that she’s a girl I once dated. I will end up dead once I get there” Caleb implored.
“But….”
“I certainly can’t ask this help from anyone else. Your the only one I have, Susan and I ended our relationship In a bad way and If she should see me then it will be my de.ath.
Please Marie, it’s the invoice for our purchases of last month just take it there and leave. Am counting on you ” Caleb said as he hand the invoice to her before walking off.
Marie sighed as she stared at the invoice in her hand. She also didn’t want to go, she knew Romeo wasn’t back from his trip though a week and half have gone by but she still didn’t want to be in his office or get the chance of running into him when he arrives.
But the invoice, she thought as she made her way to the elevator. She will just have to take a chance.
She got to Romeo floor only to find his secretary absent, she decided to put the invoice on her desk and leave but thought other wise.
It might not be safe to keep something delicate there and so instead she went into Romeo office and put the invoice on his table luckily for her there was no one around and quickly she tried to make her exit only for Romeo to walk in.
Her reaction on seeing him was one of shock but his was one of joy.
“Miss me that much that you had to come to my office?” He asked as he walked in closing the door.
“It’s not that…..I just came to drop in the kitchen invoice and……” Marie stopped when she was suddenly pulled into a hug.
“I missed you so much, it’s good to be back home” he muttered as he breathe in her scent.
Marie felt her heart racing, this only happens whenever Romeo is around her or close to her.
“How have you been doing?” He asked as he stared down at her
“Fine” she replied not daring to look him in the eye.
“And so? Have you been thinking about it?” He asked wrapping his arms around her.
“Romeo I…..”
“Why do I feel that your answer won’t be a positive one?” He asked cutting her off.
She pulled out of his arms and braced herself to give
him her answer.
“Am sorry Romeo but it’s a no” she said softly.
“Why? Wasn’t one week enough? I will give you another week or a month or…..”
“Even if you give me a year to think about it my answer will still be the same” she said this not looking at him.
She didn’t know why but she couldn’t look him straight in the eye and reject him. She doing this hurt a lot, it hurts more than when she found out about her condition.
“Can’t you think about it again, am willing to wait Marie” he said softly and this time she forced herself to look at him.
“I don’t feel the same way Romeo. I don’t love you and I can’t be with a man I don’t love, so I beg of you to stop this and leave me alone” she said as she turned to leave only for him to pull her back.
In his arms Marie watched how his mouth descend on hers and for a while she tried to resist but Romeo lips on hers was driving her crazy.
Instead of pushing him away like she did before, she wrapped her arms around him while he pulled her closer plunging into the sweetness of her mouth.
They kept kssing for a while that Marie never wanted it to end but it did end and it was Romeo who ended it.
“You say you don’t love me but your ksses says other wise. You want me as much as I want you and I can also tell that you love me too” he said.
Marie have been trying to deny it for a while but hearing it from Romeo lips made her admit to herself that she’s really in love with Romeo.
The thought filled her with joy and at the same time she remembered what those girls in the rest room said and that shattered the joy in her.
“I need to get back to work” she said quickly as she turned to leave.
“Running away won’t solve a thing Marie and it won’t make me give up” he spoke behind her which made her stop.
“You leave me no choice, you will have to cope with having my attention cause I will start meddling in your life.
You won’t be able to get rid of me or the feelings you have cause I won’t let you achieve that” he added and when he said no more, she pulled the door open and quickly left the room without giving a reply.

~OFFFICE CAFETERIA ~
Marie got back to the cafeteria only to see the guys together, they were starring at Charles phone.
“What’s going on?” Marie asked and four pair of eyes rested on her.
“Have got it! Marie is what we need” Jacob said suddenly that it got them all starring at him.
“Your right Jacob. It doesn’t have to be real and so you could do it Marie” James chipped in too.
“What do you guys need me for and what am I to do with who?” She asked.
“You see my darling Marie” Caleb began as he wrapped his arms around her.
“Charles here needs to attend a cooking competition. You see this competition can help boost Charles career as a chef but there is a problem” Caleb said as they all stared at her.
“What problem? ” Marie asked.
“The theme for the competition is cooking for your lover and so Charles have to cook with his lover which brings us to you” Caleb replied again.
“So you want me to go with Charles?” Marie asked.
“Bingo! But not as a fellow chef but as his lover. It’s a once in a lifetime competition and Charles have always applied for it, he won it this year but he doesn’t have a girlfriend” Jacob replied.
“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to” Charles spoke up starring at her.
“What do you mean? This is important to you and you should be asking for her help not discouraging it” James said.
“So what do you say Marie? Will you help a colleague who is in dire need of your help?” Caleb asked her.
“I will. Since it’s something that will be profitable to Charles” Marie replied and they all cheered at her.
Marie was busy laughing at some weird things Caleb and the other guys were telling her that she didn’t notice Charles starring at her.
