Chapter Twenty Four

Erica sniffed in, she was almost crying. But thank goodness Kelvin saved her right in time. He squatted in front of her and loose the handkerchief from her mouth.

“Are you okay?” He asked.
She sniffed in again and nodded.

“Thank you” she muttered.

“Let me take you home” he said and helped her up. He walked her to the car and led her into the passenger seat.

Kelvin entered into the car and saw that she was already dozing off already.
He shook his head and drove off.
.
.
“Who’s that?” Calvin asked as Kelvin walked up the stairs with Erica in his arm.

“You wouldn’t want to know!” He replied and continued walking.

“Yeah, I shouldn’t. Well, I’m glad you went to the club!” He yelled and slammed his brother’s file.
“Phew.. I’m done!” He said and went to his room to have some rest.

Kelvin laid Erica on the bed. He saw how her hair covered her face. He stretched his hands and shifted it away from her face.

He took off his jacket and went to have his bath. He came back and slid into his night wear but Erica was still asleep. He helped her with her shoes, feeling her warm feet.
“I hate this” he muttered.

THE MAN IN MY DREAMS : CHAPTER 21 – 30

Erica was woken up by the rays of the sun as it splashed on her face. It was Monday.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands so that she could see clearly. She didn’t know where she was but the room did look familiar.

“Good morning Miss Erica Bruno!”
She heard Kelvin’s voice behind her, she turned and stared at him.

“Why are you here?” She asked him, covering her chest but she wasn’t nked.

“Don’t think I raped you, it was Dean that almost did that, not me” he said.

Erica tried to remember everything and she did. She remembered when the singer appeared in the washroom and tried to force himself on her.

She swallowed her lips in and groaned in pain again.
“I must have drank a lot last night” she murmured.

“Well, aren’t you gonna leave the bed already? You’ve stained it with your monthly juice”

“Monthly juice” that word played in her head repeatedly.
“What is he…” She asked as she stared at the bed. She saw that the bed was already stained.

“Argh!” She cried and took a pillow to cover her face.

Kelvin saw how she acted shy. He scoffed and continued staring at his newspaper.

Suddenly, Calvin entered into the room.
“I’ve… Oops” he muttered and wanted to leave the room before he noticed that Erica was the girl his brother brought in last night.

“Erica?” He called out. She raised her head and stared at him.

“Did you drink last night?” He asked, giving her a daring look.

Erica shook her head.

“She’s lying. She drank a lot of vodka. Have you called them already?”

“Sure I did. Dean Jay has been arrested and charged for sexual assault. There were other ladies who also testify to this” Calvin said.

“That son of a bch!” Kelvin murmured.

“Kindly call Ava to get your assistant some new clothes…”

“No need for that. Barbie can lend her some dress. Erica, just take a shower” he said.

Erica quickly sprung up and ran into the bathroom. She didn’t want to see their face.
.
“Arghhh.. why! Why! Why today?!” Erica asked herself as she switched off the shower. She never expected something like this to happen in a male room and not any other male, her boss’s brother.
She really wished the ground could swallow her and bring her out on her birthday.

“Speaking of birthday, oh my… My birthday is this week.
Dmnit!” She remembered. Then there was a knock on the door. She went to the door and slowly poke her head outside.

“Here! You might need this”
She saw Kelvin giving her some sanitary pad. She grabbed it and slammed the door. She opened it after two seconds.

“Thank you!” She said and slammed the door again.
.
Erica came out of the bathroom and saw the dress that they brought for her. There’s no way Barbie’s dress could fit her. They are really small and skimpy.
She took it and went into the bathroom again.

She came out minutes later and wasn’t feeling comfortable with the dress at all.
It was very short and exposed. She saw that the bed has been cleaned up. That was a relief.

Kelvin brought down his newspaper and gazed at her.
“Isn’t that dress way to small for you?”

“As you can see, it is!” She said.

“Would you wear mine instead?” He asked and sprung up from his chair.

“Can I go home and change into something better than this?” She asked.

“My dad will be flying into the country today so… No! We have to leave now”

“Why is he coming? Is there a meeting or…”

Kelvin already knew that Erica didn’t know that she saved his life once.
“Well, you’ll understand when we get to the office” he said and left the room.

Erica also left with him. She took her phone and called Ava.
“Hey Ava!”

“Sht! Where have you been girl? You got me worried. Your brother scold me all night”

“I’ll meet with you when it’s lunch time. But help me with some more decent dress and a clean underwear” she said.

“Sure, what happened?”

“Don’t have time to explain, meet you at the Cafe during lunch” she said and disconnected the call.
.
“Are you gonna keep crawling?” He asked as he got to the car.

Erica looked round the mansion.
“Aren’t we gonna wait for your brother?”

“He’s at the office already. Get in!”
Erica rushed to the car and they drove off.

THE MAN IN MY DREAMS : CHAPTER 21 – 30

Erica and Calvin were in the office, doing some work.
He got a call that his father was on his way to the company already. He disconnected the call and stood up, adjusting his jacket and tie.

“Erica!”

“Yes sir!” She answered and went towards him.
“How do I look?” He asked.

Erica secretly furrowed her eyebrows.
“Why is he asking me that?” She thought.

“Superb” she replied.

“Thank you, help me with the tie” he said.

Erica leaned forward and helped him with his tie.
“Much better” she said with a smile on her face.

“Thank you Erica, come on let’s go to the roof!” He said and left the office.
They saw Kelvin also coming out from his office to welcome their father.
She wondered if they are robots or human. They keep on doing things together.

“Why are they both wearing black suits? How am I going to know who’s who?” She thought as she stood in their middle in the elevator. Calvin pushed the 15th button.
.
After some seconds, they got to the roof. Erica saw a helicopter landing on the roof. She shot her eyes wide open. It was her first time of seeing a real helicopter. She wished she could ride it in one day.

Mr Greg stepped out of the helicopter, coupled with some armed bodyguards.
They walked closer to them.

“Father!” Calvin greeted with a broad smile on his face.

“My son!” Mr Greg replied as he hugged Calvin tight. They were the closest in the whole family.

“How are you doing son?” He asked.

“Very well, thank you” Calvin replied.
Mr Greg smiled and turned to face Kelvin.

“Hey father!” Kelvin greeted.

“I won’t respond to your greetings till you smile Kelvin”

Kelvin sighed and smiled. It was a very noticeable fake smile.

Erica blushed and diverted her gaze away from him. That was the first time of seeing him smile. He had a very cute dimples whenever he smile.

His father just tapped his shoulder.
“Oh Kelvin, you should learn from your younger brother” he said and he turned to stare at Erica who was smiling.

“Hello young lady, who are you?” He asked.

“Hello Mr Greg, I’m Erica, Erica Bruno” she said.
Immediately, the smile on his face disappeared.

“Did you say Bruno?” He muttered and she nodded.
.
.
“How can you tell me to come here just because of some silly murder case?!” Mr Greg yelled at his sons. Erica was alone in Kelvin’s office while everything just happened in Calvin’s office.
.
“Dad? It was important. You know she saved our lives and you also loved her father”

“Yes, I did. I loved him after he saved your lives but what is in business in this case?” He asked.

“The detective want to ask some questions about him. That’s just it” Calvin said.
Kelvin just kept quiet throughout the whole conversation.

“Then where is the detective? I have far more important things to do” Mr Greg said.

“I’ll call him now!” Calvin said and Kelvin left the office.
.
Erica was staring outside his office. Kelvin entered and saw her counting the cars that were passing by.
“Woah, look at that car. It’s so beautiful!” She murmured.

He folded his arms and continued watching her.

“Look at that, awesome!” She said.
“Argh” she groaned and touched her stomach. She moved away from the glass and walked to the table. That was when she saw Kelvin.

He stared at his wristwatch.
“You’ve been talking to yourself for four minutes and thirty eight second” he said.

“I wasn’t. I was just commenting the cars” she murmured.

“Why? Do you want a car?” He asked.
