Valerie

by Richa Resa

  "First, I will only tell if the food is awesome or not after tasting it. Second, I’m happy you found him but I want to ask you this, Val. Do you believe him? Do you think he has changed? I mean he won’t go to his old habits? Right?” she asked and I understood where her concerns were coming from. They were justifiable I had told her previously how much I hatred I held for my father, that how he had ruined a happy family but all those things didn't matter anymore. Things had changed and there was no more need to keep this hatred.

  "I believe him Shay. He is trying to be better. I found him drunk on the street shivering in cold. The doctors have warned him that even a sip of alcohol might lead to death and he hasn't taken any chances. He wants to live and make amends. He said it himself that he wants a family too and he is truly sorry for what had happened. I’m sure dad isn't going to turn back into that man again and will be truly changed for better."

  It may be a little too soon, but I believe Dad and his words.

  "Okay girl, I think he is a changed man, and I will be soon coming to taste that delicious food that your talk about. Now tell me how things between you and Aiden are. I hope things are moving forward with you both." She said hopefully but all her hopes were going to go down.

  "Actually, he has been ignoring me.” Shay gasped. “We had a bad argument and since then things had not been good for us. I’ve been calling him and trying to make amends with him but he is just ignoring my calls and texts. Our relationship is a disaster, Shay." I said looking where I was still a few blocks away. I wanted to reach to Aiden soon enough and clear out the misunderstandings between us. It was hard to sleep without him for last two days and the danger of getting dark circles lurked.

  "What?!" She yelled on the phone and I had to move the phone away from the ear.

  "Damn girl I see a lot of things are happening in your life. But are you sure he is ignoring you?" She asked me with doubt in her voice.

  "Yeah Shay, I kept calling and texting him but he never answered my calls or replied to my texts. It is so fucking irritating. I know we fight sometimes, but we always make up but this time he has not even tried to contact me. It feels like he has kicked me out of his life completely and doesn't wish to even listen to me." I answered her trying to not feel like shit and nervous too as I was just minutes away from Aiden's office.

  "I don't understand," She said confusingly.

  “Why?”

  "I mean from past two days Aiden has been trying to reach me, Val. I’m just looking at his texts saying that you both were in a fight again and you are ignoring him." She said.

  "W-Wh..at?" I stuttered. What in the hell was going on?

  "Yeah, I just have his text from this early morning asking me to talk to you, ask you to pick his calls. If you are saying he is ignoring you why would he keep on texting me asking me talk to you, to have you get back to him. He has been texting me telling that you have blocked him. I really think there is something else going on here and you need to get that sexy ass back." I can't believe what she just said. He thinks I’m blocking him. This is just fucking unbelievable.

  "I’m just going to his office to sort this out. Damn it! I should’ve known something was wrong. It has never been like this and as much as I know Aiden, he won't just stop talking to me like that." I informed her. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Aiden's office building coming into view. I quickly took out the money to pay the cabbie.

  "Okay, Shay. I’m at his office now. I really need to get to the heart of this problem. Talk to you later. Wish me luck." I told her hastily while paying up the cab driver.

  "All the best, Val. Just tell me all the details besides the dirty ones. I just got a new sexy ass of a neighbour to look at. Bye, sexy." That brought a laugh out of me.

  I made my way inside the building. I knew where his floor was. Aiden had asked me many times to come to his office but I have always declined politely. He had told me to just tell the receptionist my name and they will make sure I get to him comfortably. Although I knew every code and his office, I still made my way to the reception to make sure that no one stops me anywhere and also to see whether he was here or not and most probably free.

  "Hello, how may we help you?" The pretty blonde asked me.

  "I’m here to see your CEO, Aiden Branson. I’m his girlfriend Valerie Caulfield" I told her. She typed in my name and in a moment her lips into a blown-out smile.

  "Hello, Miss Caulfield. Mr. Branson has already told us to never stop you from coming up. I will myself take you up to his office. We are pleased to have you here. Everyone wants to see who you are as Mr. Branson, has always talked highly of you." She said while smiling.

  "Carol, could you please take my place for a sec? I will be back in a moment." She said softly to her co-worker. Soon, we were on our way up to Aiden's office and I was just blown thinking that everyone wanted to see me. He talked about me. As we entered inside the lift the worker typed in a code for me.

  "My name is, Maya." She informed, smiling.

  "Nice to meet you." I greeted and tried to be patient as well as calm. The elevator bell dinged to the top floor letting us know about our arrival.

  "Here we are," Maya said and motioned me to move ahead.

  "Mr. Branson would be so happy to see you." She told and took me towards a large set of doors. A new set of wooden doors could be seen forward with a cubicle to the left of the door but no one sitting there. The door was already slightly ajar. His secretary should be here but I was glad she wasn't. I’ve met her many times outside and she’s a bitch, always trying to make a move on Aiden. I have told this to him many times but he always says that he doesn't see her anything more than an employee

  "Mr. Branson would be already inside; he has asked you to always let you in whenever you are here. You can go straight in. His secretary is not here but I will make sure and stay here to let her know that not to disturb you both." Maya said and pushed the door to let me in.

  Thanking her, I made my way inside only to find that sick bitch of his secretary, kissing Aiden! That had me fuming with anger and pure jealousy running through my blood.

  "What the hell?" I shouted gaining both of their attention. Aiden pushed her away and looked at me with wide eyes. While his secretary tried her best to look guilty, keyword ‘tried’.

  "Val," Aiden spoke up too quickly. Maya has also joined us in by now and that bitch of a secretary still stood so close to Aiden. Thus, I did the only thing what I could think off.

  Chapter 7

  Valerie

  I stormed towards Aiden and did the only thing I could think off. I fucking slapped that bitch so hard that I was sure that there would be prints on her throbbing cheek.

  “That was for kissing my boyfriend." I spat at her while Aiden just stood a few feet away. As Maya stood at the door I was quite sure that this was going to be the hot gossip around the office.

  "Get the hell out of here right now," I screamed at the slutty secretary as she stood there staring at me with wide eyes. She looked at Aiden for help and all I could think of was if he told me to apologize to her I was going to surely kick him where the sun doesn't shine. I was fuming with anger and jealousy was coursing through my veins. She didn't make a move to get out and kept staring at Aiden to say something.

  "Maya, take her out of here and can you please make sure that Aiden and I have some privacy," I told her massaging my throbbing forehead.

  "Yes, Ms Caulfield." As Maya dragged that ass of a secretary out of there she kept on giving me glares all the way out. I was able to calm myself a bit as soon as the door was closed. I wasn't freaking ready to see something like this when I came to meet Aiden.

  Turning myself towards Aiden I glared at him only to have him looking at me angrily. I swear I was going to kick him in his baby maker if he said anything about slapping his secretary to me.

  "Why weren't you answering my calls?" We both asked in unison.

  "Me?" We again said at the same time. Aiden's eyes were filled with co
nfusion.

  "You were not responding to my calls or even my texts. Do you know how many times I have tried contact you in the past two days and all I got was nothing?! You have even been rejecting my calls from last evening. What in the hell is wrong with you?" I questioned him angrily.

  “What?” He questioned, and the stopped and shook his head, "I have been calling you for past two days myself! I gave you a day to cool off only to find that you might have blocked me. Do you know what it feels like? I’m crazy about you, in love with you for the past few months. I felt like shit that day we fought. I hate myself. At last, we were doing really well and then you forgot our anniversary, but you apologized and tried so hard to make up for it. I felt so shitty that I wanted to fucking hit myself for not picking up your phone that night. I rushed out of the place as soon as we ended the call only to not find you at home. I was so worried and guilty about it. I even wanted to cry for doing it!!" He shouted while closing the gap between us.

  "The next morning when I left after our fight, I had tear in my eyes because all I could think of was the fact that I was going to lose you. I was letting the one person, whom I started loving more than myself, down. I love you, Valerie, so much that I can't go an hour without thinking of you. I love you more than you ever could for me and you say I wasn't answering your calls? Why would I do it to that one person whom I want to be close with and spend the rest of my life with?" He yelled at my face with his eyes burning with anger. His last words hit me hard.

  Spend the rest of my life with.

  Not thinking for another moment, I just kissed him. I kissed him with everything I had because I wanted to love him; I wanted to be with him emotionally. He was the one who made me feel alive with a touch. He was the one who had been able to weaken my walls and warm that cold heart of mine.

  He responded to my kiss within seconds. Bringing my hands up in his hair, I tugged on them to deepen our kiss. His hands roamed all over my body as I stood there and for the first time, it felt more than just a kiss. I felt more alive than ever, his fingers made me burn with desire. I hated how much of an impact his touch had on me as I let myself get lost in the moment. I couldn't stop myself from getting over this desire to be close to him. I should have been mad at him, trying to figure out what was happening but I just couldn't. I needed Aiden right at that moment. There was an urgent need in me to make love to him. I pushed off his jacket from his shoulders and he gladly let me do it. He started kissing that sweet spot on my neck making me lose control.

  He shoved me towards his desk as his hands tried to tug my dress up. There was urgency in our movements. His hand crawled up my dress slowly, teasing me. I should have stopped him but all my control had gone out of the window with that very second, he responded to my kiss. His hand rubbed my inner thigh making my core wet. His feather-like touches were burning me from the inside.

  "Aiden," I moaned tugging on his hairs. His sucking on my neck, his fingers just an inch away from my sweet pussy, was driving me to crazy land with lust and need for him every second. With each passing breath, I could feel my core dripping wet with desire. Suddenly I felt his fingers coil around my panties and tugging them off. I wanted him more than anything right now. He looked like a god to me in the right fitting shirt and black trousers. He raised me up, making me sit on his desk to let him easily drag my panties down to my feet. He broke the kiss and bend down to completely get rid of my panties feathering kisses over my legs. I kept on looking in his eyes which were filled with lust.

  Standing up he smirked with my panties in between his fingers, inhaling them. He kept on staring at me keeping me hypnotize under his steamy gaze. He laid my panties next to me and before I knew, his fingers went right into my wet folds making me gasp. My head fell back from the intense pleasure and I moaned as he curled the finger around inside me. It felt good with him. Every single moment with him made me feel special. Now when I had let myself admit that I loved him I could feel myself come alive and burn in the heat of intense desire.

  He captured my lips once again as he started fingering me. His fingers were hitting me right in my g-spot. I moaned in the intense feeling and felt a knot building up inside. In the next few seconds I felt another one of his fingers slip inside of me and he ruthlessly coiled and twisted his fingers around in me. I was amazed at him. He stopped kissing me and trailed a path of kisses from my jaw to down my neck. His fingers increased their pace and I felt my climax approaching. I felt the euphoria building in me. This was not something I had expected to happen today but I was more than welcoming it. I felt my orgasm on the edge and with one last thrust of his finger I was in heaven or maybe even above it. I tried not to scream as I orgasmed and bit my lips hard with my eyes shut closed. I let the euphoria pass and when I opened my eyes I looked at him while panting. I watched him bring his hand up and licking the juices off his hand. I got down from my very high with his lustful eyes on me. Coming closer he kissed me, letting me taste my own release.

  "I want to really take you right here, right now, Val, but I know it's not the right place to do this. Don't you think so?" He asked with his lips against mine.

  "Yes, it’s not the right place," I was barely able to whisper under his heated gaze with one of his hands drawing circles on my inner thigh once again.

  "Do you want me to make love to you, Val?" He asked in between the sweet kisses he gave me. I nodded biting my own lips.

  "Then let's go to your place because I’m planning to only please you today." He whispered lustfully in my ear. He grabbed his coat from the floor and reached for my panties putting them in his pocket.

  "Let's take you home," he said giving me his hand. Home, my place. The clouds of lust cleared away from my mind reminding me that I couldn't freaking take him home and the bigger fact let him please me. Dad was home and I really couldn't do a thing like this with him there, moreover, make him meet my boyfriend like that.

  Aiden looked at me, waiting for me to come. Minutes passed and I shook my head giving the impression of no. Aiden raised one of his brows at me.

  "We can't Aiden," I shook my head. He strode towards me with a hint of concern over his face.

  "Val if it's about our fight-" I cut him off before he could talk about it.

  "My father's back home in my apartment." I blurted out leaving Aiden shocked.

  "Your father?" He asked hesitantly to which I nodded weakly.

  “Your father?” He repeated once again this time a bit louder.

  "I just found him a few days back in a bad condition and came to know that he is not fully bad. Now we are trying to mend our relationship and it would be totally awkward having sex there, with him there in the apartment. Also, I don't want him to get a bad impression of you." I tried to reason making sure he got my point.

  "A lot happened in these past few days with you ignoring me I guess?" He said nonchalantly. We were back to this.

  "Hey, I wasn't ignoring you. You were blocking my calls and my father can vouch for that one." I said accusingly.

  "Guess we are back to round one!" He said frustratingly.

  "Isn’t what just happened enough for you to tell that I won't ever fucking ignore you or your calls?" He said bringing out my panties. I took out my phone and brought up the call logs. Getting off the table, I closed the distance between us and flashed my phone in front of his face.

  "See for yourself, Aiden. I’m not lying. I called you and messaged you. Feel free to check." His eyes grew wide in confusion. Taking my phone, he browsed through everything.

  "The last call it shows me of is the day before we fought. I swear I called you many times, Val. You have not fucking even blocked me then where the hell is my calls going." He was angry, confused and frustrated

  "Give me your phone, Aiden." He took out his phone and gave it to me. I unlocked it and browsed through calls, messages only to found he was saying the truth too. He had called me but it showed my calls missed or rejected. I once again dialled my number from his phone and foun
d it being rejected instantly. I looked at the number and found it that it wasn't mine. Someone has edited it and messed it up. At least now I know why he was unable to call me. What about my calls and messages? I checked the block list and found my correct number there.

  "A, someone messed my number on your phone so you felt like you were calling me but it wasn't. B, I’m on your block list so you couldn't receive my calls." I showed him. He surely had called me a lot and I did too but we both were unable to get in touch with each other.

  "Did you give your phone to anyone? Anytime since you started calling me? Or anyone who knows about our fight? Did you tell anyone about it or something because I’m quite sure that someone didn't want me to reach you?" I bombarded him with questions. He grew confused but looked sexy as hell with dishevelled hair. It was a shame that we couldn't make love in the heat of the moment. Just thinking about how his fingers worked their way I could feel my core clenching in anticipation. I closed my legs instantly only to be reminded that my panties were missing and gladly sitting in Aiden's pocket.

  "Damn, I should have trusted you, Val," Aiden said with frustration. I got confused at his words. What should he have trusted me about? "I should have trusted you when you had told me that Chelsea was trying to get in my pants and that she had the hots for me.”

  “Well, that is good to know but what does she have to do with this.”

  “I remember leaving my phone with her just the day after we fought because I didn't want to be disturbed in between the meeting. I made a freaking fool of myself by ignoring what you had told me. I’m sorry Val." He apologized with guilt in his eyes as I stood there like an idiot thinking who the hell was he talking about.
