A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

180 I Will Still Love You

Tom had been so enraged by Fred’s last statement after he left the restaurant. He was glad to leave Fred behind to bear the brunt of the commotion he had instigated.

Inwardly, he felt a deep sense of regret for punching Fred in public. The Miller family wasn’t known to be the violent type and he knew his father would be disappointed in him for that singular act.

Outwardly, he felt a bit relieved of the accumulated anger and frustration he had over Fred’s interest in Denise. He had dreamt of punching Fred in the face for a very long time and it felt great to finally do it. Also, he wanted to prove to Fred that even though he was younger, he should never be taken for granted.

However, during the brief conflict he had, Fred last statement kept reverberating in his brain, thereby making him go insane.

‘She lost it on the night I was busy f**king her brain out.’

Tom knew that his brother was a sex God when compared to him. He had heard countless testimony from a few of Fred’s many flings on how amazing Fred was in bed.

Even on some embarrassing occasions, Tom had gone to Fred for help when it came to wooing a girl. He always found it difficult to relate with the opposite sex.

Although Fred was liberal at sharing information and ideas with Tom, he would always tease him at the slightest opportunity.

.....

As if Fred’s last words were not tormenting enough, Tom’s unforgiving mind even painted a picture of that night when Denise unconsciously dropped her necklace.

He imagined Denise sweating and moaning out loud while riding his brother from above like she usually does to him. Or, was it his brother giving her a good ass whooping from behind?

Either way, the sex must have been really good for her to lose her brains and drop something that precious in the process.

All these thoughts kept suffocating Tom as he drove the case when he got back home. Denise was not only home but had been waiting for him still fully dressed in the clothes in her office close.

Tom stood on a spot and stared as Denise matched towards him wearing the look of an enraged mother about to spank her naughty kid.

He was tempted to laugh but he quickly stifled the laughter with a smirk. He raised his right hand to his shoulder and stared pleadingly at her.

“Denise, calm down! My headaches and I’m not in the mood to answer any questions. Please, let’s just...”

“Your headaches! You are not in the mood to answer any questions!”

Denise stopped in front of Tom and glared at him. His new alcoholic perfume was so strong that it made her crinkle her nose in disgust.

“Is this how you intend to go around town disgracing me?”

Denise’s chilly stares held Tom to ransom. He raked his hair with his hand and sighed out loud.

“How do you mean?” Tom quizzed in a slightly frustrated tone. “Does staying out late for one day and having a few glasses of drink sum up to disgracing you? Please, let’s not make a fuss out of this. I just need a cold shower and rest. Tomorrow morning, we can sought things out.”

Tom had no idea that Denise had seen the fight between Fred and him. He thought her anger was based on the fact that his number had been switched off and his late-night adventure.

He tried to place his hand on her shoulder but she instinctively avoided his touch and glowered at him. Her piqued face seemed to get darker with every second as Tom acted nonchalantly to her mood.

“Oh, I see! I’ve suddenly turned into a nagging lady, right?” She scoffed. “Don’t you worry, I have no intention of being that kind of Lady? I’ll give you enough time to rest and think things through. When you’re done, I may or may not be waiting for you.”

“What are you trying to say?” Tom suddenly lost his cool. “Are you leaving me because of this?”

“I thought that you said you were tired of questions. Please don’t ask me any. You can go right ahead and take your cold shower and rest. You definitely need it.”

Denise stepped out of his path and gestured for him to move forward. But Tom grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her forcefully into his arm.

“What exactly is my crime for deserving this cold treatment from you?” He spoke through gritted teeth.

Thanks to the alcohol in his system, he was emboldened to say his mind without thinking of the immediate consequence.

“Tom, let go of me now, otherwise, you will see the other side of me,” Denise warned as she tried to wriggle herself free from Tom.

“I will let you go when you tell me what I’ve done wrong this night,” Tom responded adamantly. “I’m your fiance and I deserve to know whatever is eating you up.”

“Why don’t you go and ask Fred again as you’ve already done!” Denise yelled into his face and smartly freed herself from his hold.

“Fred!” Tom stood transfixed on a spot as he finally understood the reason behind her ire.

“How... Who told... What a second, were you at the restaurant?” Tom’s eyes flashed in horror.

“No! I wasn’t there! But everyone has seen it.” Denise’s face reddened and her eyes were misty.

“Did you have to confront Fred? Didn’t I promise you that I will explain how I got the necklace and what it meant to me?”

“But...but...” Tom was at loss for words. He clenched and unclenched his fist to stifle the monstrous rage that was slowly building and taking over his entire being.

‘Look at what you have cursed, Fred.’

Tom lamented within.

“But what?”

Denise sniffed and forced back her threatening tears by batting her eyes severally.

“I thought you were cool with my past life and mistakes. I thought you understood me better than anyone. I thought I could start afresh with you. I thought...” Denise choked on her words as Tom moved closer to her and knelt before her.

Tom saw that If he tried to defend his actions, he might lose Denise and the thought of losing her was more excruciating than ten bullet shots to his chest.

“Denise, I’m so sorry for hurting you this way. I was a fool for being too jealous of Fred. I was also scared that since he was the first to know you intimately, he could easily steal you away from me. I love you so much and I don’t want to lose you to anyone.”

Denise’s anger melted as she saw tears falling from Tom’s eyes as he spoke.

Instantly, the walls of her tears glands broke and a flood of tears cascaded freely from her eyes.

“I...I...kissed F... Fred yesterday when he gave me the necklace and I...I think I...I may have a feeling for him.” She hiccupped as she spoke.

“Can you still love me with all of my flaws, because, I have a lot of them?”

Tom bit down his lower lip and inhaled sharply at Denise’s confession. He felt a dagger jab at his heart and it sent a wave of pain to his brain cells.

His brief silence and heartbroken expression made Denise conclude that she had lost him.

“Tom, you don’t have to force yourself into loving a damaged good like me. I told you from the onset that my relationship doesn’t last. That was why I told you not to propose to me until we knew and understood ourselves better,” she sniffed and sobbed harder.

“Maybe I’m destined never to find love. Please let me go now so that I won’t hurt you anymore or ruin your life.”

Tom looked up lovingly into Denise’s wet and humiliated eyes. He tightened his grip around her as if his life depended on it.

“I love you, Denise, more than my very breath. Even if you kissed Fred again or have sex with him right now, I will still love you. If I can, I will change myself into the man of your fantasy, as long as you are happy.”

“Oh, Tom!”

Denise went down on her knees and wrapped her trembling arms around his neck. She buried her head in his shoulder and continued sobbing.

Tom gently stroked her hair and kissed her head severally.

“I know that I may not meet up to my brother’s standard of pleasing a lady but I’m ready to learn if you will be patient with me. I also know that I’m a jealous wreck right now but I’m willing to amend my ways as long as you’re here by my side.”

Denise slowly lifted her head from Tom’s shoulder and gazed into his wet eyes.

“Thanks...for loving...me this much.” She hiccupped more as she spoke. “I could never wish for a better man than you. You mean the world to me and I can’t afford to lose you either.”

Tom smiled amidst tears as he covered Denise’s face with hungry kisses.

Within a space of ten minutes, Denise’s low sobs were replaced with muffled moans as Tom gradually savored every inch of her body with his lips.
