My Crazy Housemate

1Leo and Mia cuddled on the small bed, none said a word but they were both wide awake and their hearts thumped wildly.      1

Both were lost in their thoughts while also trying to control the way they were currently feeling with the other so close to them.      

Mia didn't want to be selfish. She was going to miss him when he travelled out and if she was true to herself and what she wanted deep down, she didn't want him to leave. She had never felt such happiness like she felt since she met him. But she couldn't him do that. This was something really important to him and she was going to support him. People always supported those they loved even though it made them sad right?      

"What are you going to be doing after graduation?" He asked her in a quiet voice.      

He was spooning her with her back against his chest while his hand rested on her belly. Mia could feel his hot breath on her neck and she closed her eyes, hoping it would reduce the tension she felt.      

Her smell was intoxicating him. They were in a very suggestive position and it was driving him crazy that he was only holding her in his arms, but for now, that was the least of his problems.      

"Hmm... I'll.. be looking... for a job." She stammered with her eyes still closed as she enjoyed the warmth of his body pressed to hers.      

"You still aren't sure about what you would like to do after graduation?" He asked her.      

"If I end up being the best graduating student, I would have a lot of opportunities. I wouldn't need to search for a job because there would be a lot of companies wanting to hire me. Also, if I wish to pursue a postgraduate program, they would grant me a scholarship to any school of my choice." Mia said with a sigh.      

"That's great. You can do it right?" He had heard from Chloe that she was among the best students so he believed she would be able to do it. So why was she sighing?      

"It's not so easy." She said, remembering Kelvin and what Jeremy had said about him.      

"You know Kelvin? He's Benjamin's friend. He was there at his place...."     

"I remember him. What about him?" He asked immediately, not liking the mention of Benjamin.      

"He currently has the highest grade point. I heard from someone that his aunt owns the school and so every lecturer favours him. It's been hard to surpass him since the first year." She said with another sigh of defeat.      

"Oh... those kind of things still happen?" He asked as his hand began to draw circle on her belly, which made her bite her lip and shift closer to him involuntarily.      

"You are so sensitive to my touch." He whispered into her ear. The action made his body press even closer hers and he kissed her earlobe.     

"Leo!" She gasped. Weren't they talking about school just now?      

He didn't move for a while, enjoying the feeling of his erection pressed to her butt. His hands continued to draw circles around her belly, moving slowly.      

"Are you... just going to leave your camera like that?" Mia asked in a strangled voice.     

His hand stopped abruptly and he looked up at his pitiful camera that had been taking videos of an empty space, then he looked at his watch which he was still wearing. It was two hours to midnight.     

"You don't mind spending the night here with me, right?" He whispered again.      

Mia didn't know whether she liked to hear him whisper or hear him speak clearly because his whispers gave her goosebumps and made her heart stop beating.     

As much as she was scared to do 'the deed' with him, her mind was being clouded now and for the past 2 hours, she couldn't think of anything else but the fact that she wanted him. Leo wasn't rushing anything with her, neither was he forcing her to do anything with him. It seemed he was still reluctant just like she was. There was a 50/50 battle going on inside her head where a part of her wanted this while another part was tryig to caution her against it.     

Now, he was talking about spending the night?      

She looked at the small bed they were lying on.     

She remembered the times she had spent the night on the same bed with him, even if the beds had been big enough, he had 'sleep–groped' her.  There was every probability that the same touchy incident was going to happen.     

She took a deep breath as she considered it before nodding her head slowly.      

"Alright. It's late anyway."     

Who was she kidding? There could still drive back and arrive home before midnight.      

Leo tried to hide a smile when she agreed. "Alright. Do you want to shower first or should I go first?— You don't have to shower if you do not want to... I just assumed you would like to—"     

"There's nothing else for me to wear." She said, cutting off his nervous rambles.      

Leo sighed in relief. He didn't want her to think he was making any suggestive remarks to have sex with her when he simply wanted her to be comfortable. He tried to believe so himself.      

"There are a few of my clothes inside the closet you could wear."      

"I'll shower first then. You should go do something about your camera."     

Leo chuckled lightly. "You don't mind the music remaining on right?" He liked the effects the music was causing. It made the atmosphere more romantic.      

"It's fine." She stood up and quickly left the bed while he reluctantly let her go.     

  ********     

Chloe jogged down the streets of the city, wearing a joggers, sports shoe, a bodyfitted shirt with an earphone on her ears while her ponytail danced behind her as she jogged. Her mind was occupied to the point where it was difficult for her to breathe. She felt like she was suffocating and had to leave the house or else she may really suffocate.      

 She kept running for a long time and when she stopped, she realised she was standing in front of her mall. It made sense that her legs had taken her there. This place made her feel more relaxed compared to her house.      

She looked down at herself, she looked nothing like the boss they all knew. She was panting, covered in sweat and looked exhausted. She wasn't even wearing make up but she didn't care about that.      

She was parched, hungry and tired. The jogging had helped her ease her mind and she was thankful she had also used the opportunity to burn some fat. It had been quite a long time since she last worked out.     

She walked into the mall which was still very busy even though it was already past 10pm. No one minded her, she didn't look too bad anyway, but she took off her earphone and used her hands to smoothen her hair.      

She would have stopped by one of the restaurants inside the building to buy something to eat but she didn't have any money with her. Only thing she had carried was her phone and earphone since she hadn't planned to jog for hours.     

She took out her phone and dialled her assistant's number, hoping the lady was still inside. After a brief call with her PA to meet her inside her office, she hung up and continued to stroll inside.      

 Her eyes went around as she looked at the staff wearing a particular teeshirt but she didn't see a particular face.     

She was stopped a couple of times by some security men and women for trying to pass through a restricted area, but after a closer look, they recognized her and let her in.      

"We weren't expecting you here until Monday." Her PA said as she followed her inside her office.      

"Hmm.. just wanted to stop by and see how things were." She lied.      

"I forgot my wallet so I'll trouble you to help me buy dinner from Queen's eatery downstairs."     

The eatery didn't belong to her, just like most of the stores inside the mall so she couldn't just go anywhere and pick something since the owners paid her hundreds of thousands yearly for rent. She only owned the building and a couple of stores inside which included the store Jeremy worked in.     

Her PA could tell something was wrong with her boss but it wasn't in her place to ask so she left after getting Chloe's orders.      

Chloe took a quick shower and even after waiting a couple of minutes more for her dinner, she still didn't return until much later.      

"I'm so sorry boss." She apologized when she saw the displeased look on Chloe's face.     

"Something needed my attention urgently, I wanted to call you but I forgot my phone on my desk." She explained as she dropped a fancy nylon bag on top of the desk.      

"What is it?" Chloe asked disinterestedly.     

"While sorting some of the items, one of the part timers broke an expensive bottle of wine."     

"A part timer?" Chloe asked and began to massage her temple.     

Can she just have a peaceful evening?      

"Yes, it was a mistake. He promised to continue working without a pay until the debt is paid off."     

"What wine?" Chloe asked with a sigh.      

"Switz"     

"Switz!?" Chloe asked in surprise. "What was he doing in that section? How long does he think he is going to work before he would be able to pay it off? And.. why are you telling me about this anyway? Just fire him!" Chloe said as she waved her hand dismissively. It was going to be at her loss, but she didn't like having clumsy and inefficient people around.      

The lady didn't leave instead, she stood there and continued to look at Chloe.     

"Anything else?" Chloe asked with a raised brow. She just wanted to eat for goodness sake!      

"Actually... it was the part timer Jeremy Williams."      

"Jeremy?" Chloe sat up. "He's in the building?"     

"Yes. He is with the manager."      

Chloe closed her eyes and massaged her temples.      

"Tell him to come here." She said with a casual wave of hand.      

A smile formed on the lady's lips as she turned and left the office.
