Chapter Seven 

 

He’s a d*mn good kisser. Tina said in her thoughts as she continued to respond to his kisses. Her hands were now wrapped around his neck to support her weight and prevent herself from falling as Felix carried her off to somewhere. Her eyes were closed so she did not see where they were headed, all she knew was that they entered a room because she heard him push a door open. 

Then she felt her back land on the soft mattress. It was only then when she realized that they were inside a bedroom. Oh no! Not again! She said in her thoughts when she regained her senses before did all her best to push him and break the kiss – and her efforts did not end in vain as she was successful on that attempt. 

Feliz landed on the bed as she quickly sat up and glared at him.  

“I’m leaving.” She announced as she stood up to exit the room, but Felix was quicker – he held her hand and pulled her to lie down beside him before wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face on her long black hair. 

“What are you doing?!” Tina scoffed as she tried to escape from his hold but he was stubborn and a lot stronger than she is so she failed. 

“You are not going anywhere...” Felix replied. “You won’t be breaking any more promises.” He added. 

 

-Tina- 

If I could, I would have already kicked his balls and run away but something in his words stopped me.  

Why does it seem like he knows something that I don’t? 

He hugged me from behind – his hands were encircled around my waist as my back leaned on his chest, he was so close to the point that I could hear his breathes – and we stayed in that position for quite some time. It tried to get away but he won’t budge. I sighed. 

There was nothing but silence and the sound of our breaths – and somehow, I found it calming – I ended up falling asleep for a while but woke up due to the sound of a ringing phone.  

I slowly opened my eyes and I was taken aback when realized that I was facing him – my face was very close to his slightly exposed chest and his lips were only centimeters away from my forehead – I bit my lower lip as I tried to unclasp his hold, but just when I was about to escape, he once again tightened his hold causing his lips to meet with my forehead. 

I then felt his lips curve into a smile. “You can try to escape but you can’t go anywhere.” He spoke. 

“Are you planning to keep me as a hostage?!” I raised my head to look him in the eye. 

“If that’s the only way that I can keep you close... then yes.” He replied without breaking our eye contact. 

His eyes were still cold-looking but I saw a hint of something unfamiliar... and there was a hint of firmness and sincerity in his voice. 

The phone kept ringing but he did not mind, and it somehow bothered me. What if it was an important call? Something about a matter of life and death? 

“Your phone is ringing,” I spoke hoping that he would take it but he remained his gaze on me. 

“Are you not going to answer it?” I asked. 

“No.” He replied. 

“Why?” I asked again. 

“Because if I do, it means I’ll have to go stand up and get the phone and you might use that chance to run away... again.” 

- 

Tina bit her lower lip as she tried to suppress a chuckle after hearing Felix’s explanation. She finds it a little childish and immature but it somehow sent a ticklish feeling in her stomach, but the ringing phone really bothered her. 

“I won’t go anywhere...” She sighed. “Just answer the phone.” She added with a matching smile of assurance, but Felix still did not budge. 

“How can I be sure that you won’t?” He asked. 

Tina once again sighed. “What should I do to convince you - handcuff me to you?” She asked with a hint of disbelief. 

Felix smiled and released a small chuckle. “I like that idea, but I don’t own handcuffs.” He replied. “I’ll just have my secretary buy one for me.” 

“Just answer the phone!” Tina scoffed in frustration. “It might be something important!” She emphasized. 

“There’s nothing more important than securing you here beside me, Schatz.”  

“Should I just kick your balls and run away?” Tina glared at him.  

“Would you really do that?” Felix challenged as he slowly moved to tower over Tina’s petite body. 

“O-Of course!” Tina replied. 

Her cheeks instantly blushed upon realizing that she stuttered, and her heart was starting to race again. She was basically lying underneath him and it somehow triggered her mind to visualize things ‘inappropriate’ scenes. 

“You’re lying...” Felix smirked. “... because if you really would, you should have done it in the first place.” He teased as he brought his lips to brush along her lips. 

Lub dub lub dub lub dub... Tina bit her lower lip as she closed her eyes and slightly turned her head away. 

Felix smiled as she watched her reaction. He was actually reaching for his phone which was inside the pocket of his coat that was near Tina’s head.  

Marquz calling... 

Why the heck is he calling at this time of the day? 

-Tina- 

I slowly sat up and turned to look at Felix who was now talking to someone on his phone. I mentally slapped myself for getting a little excited because of what happened earlier – I mean who won’t, right? I don’t want to be in denial. After all, I’m a grown and open-minded woman in her early 30’s. 

My eyes then shifted to Felix who was currently looking in my direction. He was standing at the door as he watched my every move. I just shook my head and sighed as I allowed my back to fall on the soft bed. 

I then took a pillow and hugged it as I turned my back on Felix and faced the large windows. Then I took a deep breath and shifted my attention to my nails. I think I should have them done sometime soon so it won’t look boring, and maybe I should have a haircut too to look younger.
