Chapter 25
Nicole Vargas
I woke up to the steady patter of rain upon the bedroom window. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand to check the time and my eyes instantly widened. I had only two hours to get ready for my meeting with Rose. Shit, Shit, Shit !
I put my phone back on the nightstand and turned around to look at Ethan who was sleeping peacefully next to me. His hand draped casually around my waist and his legs were tangled with mine under the sheets.
It has been a week since we returned from Dubai. A week full of love making, anywhere, twenty four seven. It’s like the guy doesn’t get tired. But then again, I’m not complaining either. The smile on my face hasn’t left one time for the past week.
I slowly tried to get out of bed without waking him up, but instead he drew me closer to him. “Ethan…” I groaned softly. “I need to get ready for the meeting.”
“Mmh.” Was his response, his eyes still close.
“Let me go.” I squeaked as he pulled me closer, burying his face in the valley of my boobs. “No morning sex today.”
His eyes immediately fluttered open. “Princess…” He whispered softly as he drew circles on my bare stomach with his finger. “Why not?”
“I will be late to the meeting.” I answered as I went with my hand through his messy hair. It was so soft and warm from the sleep.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“The meeting is important than my health?”
“What do you mean?” I asked, scrunching my eyebrows in confusion. “Are you sick?”
“Well…” he looked at me, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “According to Queen’s University, three rounds of morning sex a day will keep the doctor away.”
I stared at him, before bursting out laughing. “You just made that up.”
He shook his head and played with the strands of my hair. “I’m not. We haven’t been to the gym for the past few weeks, so morning sex also count as a work out and…. apparently it can help you look younger.”
“Did you just came up with these or are they actual facts?” I couldn’t help but keep on laughing. “Bytheway we have had more sex than an average couple does in the past week, I think we made it in the Guinness book of World Records.”
“The more, the better.” He said in a husky voice. “Come on, one round princess?”
I let go of his hair and pushed the comforter off me. “Not today, Ethan. What you said earlier about morning sex, was it true?”
Ethan chuckled as he let go of me. “Of course it was true.” His eyes trailed to my bare legs and his lips suddenly turned into a thin line. “Did I do that?”
I know what he was referring at. The bruises on my thighs.”I have really sensitive skin, don’t worry.”
“Does it hurt?” He asked softly. “I’m sorry for the bruises, not sorry for last night and all the other nights… and mornings.”
I slapped him on his bare chest and a he laughed loudly. “Bytheway,” I said, as I jumped off the warm bed. “I didn’t spare you either.”
He smirked at me and gave me a wink. “I don’t mind the scars on my body. It means I did a great job.”
“So cocky.” I muttered silently as I went into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the meeting with Rose.
An hour had passed by when I was finally ready. I decided to go with a pair of grey pants and a black long sleeve bodysuit. It was a rainy day, so I didn’t really bother to do my makeup. Instead I braided my hair to the side and put on my glasses.
Work mode on.
When I walked downstairs, the delicious smell of food made my stomach grumble. I entered the kitchen and Ethan was there making breakfast, only in his boxers.
“What if the oil splashes on you?” I sat down on the kitchen island, waiting for him to turn around and answer me.
“Where do you see oil, princess?” He chuckled amusingly and turned around with two plates in his hands. “Even with four eyes you can’t tell the difference between water and oil.”
I glared at him and he just laughed and kissed me on my lips. “I made you an omelette.”
“In a plastic bag? In water?”
He nodded his head. “Yup, just dump everything in it and voila.”
He gave me a fork and I immediately tasted it. “Mmh, it’s so good.” I closed my eyes, trying to enjoy this blissful moment.
“Better than morning sex?” he asked teasingly.
“Shut up.”
After breakfast, Ethan gave me his car keys so I could drive to the meeting. He was going to pay his company a visit today, so he couldn’t bring me.
With the help of google maps I was able to drive to the AMA conference center where the meeting was being held.
When I arrived there, everyone was already waiting for me. “Good morning.” I greeted all of them with a smile. They all greeted me back. Aside from Rose, I did not know who the others in the room were.
Rose stood up and walked over towards me to give me a hug. “Good morning, darling. How have you been?”
“I’ve been doing well, thank you.” I answered, smiling. I took a seat next to hers and placed my bag on the carpeted floor. I pulled out my notebook and pen to take notes during the meeting.
“Now that Miss Vargas has arrived, I think It’s time to start the meeting. Mr. Joaquin, do you want to start first?”
A male in platinum blonde hair and green eyes stood up from his seat on the other side of the table. He had his laptop in his hand and walked to the front to start his presentation.
“He’s the event planner.” Rose whispered to me and I nodded my head, focusing back on Joaquin.
After the meeting I stayed behind with Rose to discuss everything regarding the fashion show. “The presentations were really good, I’m impressed.” I said, as I put my notebook back in my bag.
“Me too. So since the fashion show is approaching really fast, we have a lot of work to do.”
“Yes we do.” I repeated after her. “I want to have the tailors and sewers as soon as possible so I can show them on a mannequin what the dresses should look like.”
Rose nodded her head. “I will arrange that. You will most likely meet them this weekend and they will have two weeks to design the dresses.”
“Two weeks is not much.” I remarked.
“That’s true, but the people I will introduce you to are professionals. So don’t worry.”
“If that’s what you said.” I answered smiling and looked at the time. “I should go now. Can you send me the profiles of the models?”
“Will do it right away.”
“Bye, Rose.”
“Have a great rest of the day, Nicole.” Rose said, sending a warm smile my way. “Tell Ethan I said hi.”
“Will do.”
I drove back home, because I promised Ethan that I would be home to have lunch with him. When I entered the mansion, he was already in the kitchen. This time not in his boxers, but in his expensive business suit.
He looked so goddamn hot and handsome. My insides melted at the sight of him.
“Afternoon, Ethan. How was work?” I asked as I hugged him from behind, inhaling the scent of his cologne. I loved it when a guy smell good. Such a turn on.
“It was good, princess. How was your meeting?” He asked, turning around and kissing the tip of my nose.
I let out an exhausted sigh. “It was hectic. The fashion show is approaching and we still have a lot to do.”
“Take it easy, princess.” He chuckled and motioned me to sit at the kitchen island. “I made chicken stir fry. I hope you’re hungry.”
“I’m starving.”
“Good,” He smirked. “Eat well, because we are having afternoon sex.”
