Chapter 118 - Girlfriend

I pleased his request and peeked through the threshold of the door as he washed his face and then put on an elegant white blouse.

He even made the gesture of dressing up sensual

The way he folded his sleeves up and then slowly bottomed up his shirt as he looked at himself in the mirror was just breathtaking worth of any magazine out there. Then he put his belt on and kneeled to lace up his shoes.

He was majestically effortlessly handsome. I doubt I had ever met someone as handsome as him.

I dressed up as well and fixed my makeup by putting on mascara and lipstick.

When we were ready, we walked to his Porsche, and then he drove to his company. My heart exploded in my chest at the thought of seeing his company, his office and finally being a real couple. The kind of couple who goes to work together and kissed publicly. Something that sounded so crazy a few months ago due to his rules that soon will become normality.

I had never been this excited about a boyfriend since my first one in high school.

He parked in front of a huge glass palace, upon the front side of the glass building, there was a transparent CC logo standing so big that it may be visible even meters faraway.

The palace enlightened and the logo sparkled through the glass radiated by the sunrays.

He went to open the door for me and stretched his hand to help me come down the car.

I took his hand and held it as we walked down. I lost count of all the times that my heart bested inside my chest, the palace was too big even for me, intimidating enormous that I wondered how many people worked there for him. When the door opened and he walked inside, my heart stopped in my chest. He walked there so confidently that he seemed to arise from the float and fly between the crowd. On the contrary, my heart precipitated down my chest due to the nervousness I was in.

As soon as we walked in, I became the main attraction of the place, the people synchronized lifted their heads to gaze at our hands holding and then at me. Then back at Cameron. They were confused, curious, amazed, and even shocked. I could read their puzzlement through their gazes and my heartbeat more loudly when a few people passed by us and cheered Cameron. They didn't speak to me, but their heavy gaze was loud than their voices could ever be.

They didn't ask about me or introduced them to me, probably concerned Cameron wouldn't approve their curiosity.

As we passed the corridor, my nervousness faded away, drained by liveliness that took full control of my body.

We walked on the elevator and I grew electrified and exuberant for the excitement, eager to hear him call me his girlfriend.

The elevator's doors opened and he held my hand again as he walked before me. That's when the gaze of the people, both women and men flicked in my direction. Some shock their head, others drop their jaws, a few frowned and the most courageous two women dared to walk to me and stretch their hands.

Cameron's face was impassible, so I shook their hands and offered a smile.

"I am Lily Waldorf." 

The brunette girl returned the smile and then darted her gaze to look at Cameron for some instant before looking back to me again.

"Are you a relative or a friend?" She inquired leaving me in the wonder if she was pretending not to understand I was someone more than a friend or if she couldn't believe her eyes.

"She is my girlfriend." Cameron intervened to give a reason to my heart to race faster joyfully.

Girlfriend, it sounded like the most beautiful melody ever played. 

Both she and the entire floor was shocked by his statement that silence lapsed over when his hands confidently set on my back and we began to walk toward his office.

Girlfriend.

He closed the door and then sat at his desk gesturing me to sit in front of him.

Girlfriend. My mind was still focused on that word and wasn't unwilling to let it go.

Pronounced by him, it became the most beautiful word that ever existed.

"Girlfriend," I said in a low breath, and a smile formed on his lips.

"Girlfriend," he confirmed once again, "did you like the sound of it?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"I feel the butterflies," I whispered and he smiled from the opposite side of the desk.

I darted my gaze around his office, it was so big and professional. I couldn't believe that entire place was his. He surely intimidated many of the people under him to have them be shy of asking who I was. I wondered if he truly was the strict boss very severe and meticulously obsessed with details that Carl described.

Wait! Carl!

I was so excited at the idea of meeting him that the thought of meeting Carl slipped out of my mind completely. If I was lucky I wouldn't meet him today hence spare myself to have my day ruined by one of his dramatic scenes. 

"Have you ever brought a girl here?" I asked as he turned his computer on, even if I already predicted his answer. 

"No, I haven't" His answer was quite obvious but cheered me up anyway. I stood up and walked closer to him.

"Interesting," I commented. "I thought it was a CEO thing to have fun in their big offices with his secretaries," I remarked with a glimpse of mischievousness in my voice as I comfortably sat on his lap.

He shrugged, "not my case. What a shame, it had always been my hidden dream." 

"Can that dream come reality?" I asked before checking if we could be seen from the outside.

When making sure the windows were covered by curtains that obstructed the sight I turned my attention back to him.

His hands slipped inside my skirt and trailed up to my warm thigh, "my dreams always come true."

My heart drummed in my chest and although I knew that place wasn't the safest and the door was probably unlocked, I didn't feel the urge to stand up only to lock the door. If people were scared to talk to him they would be scared to walk in without permission as well.

He cupped my chin and pressed my lips with his. Then he set the other hand gripping over the back of my neck and pushed me gently against the table, preventing my neck to hit the table thanks to his hand.

He slouched forward to pepper sweet kisses over my neck and then over my neckline, while his hands tickled their ways up to my inner things provoking shivers all over my body.

A grip around my heart and a lump in my throat formed when his hand caressed my intimacy but I had to soak in the imminent moan. 

His hands penetrated inside my slips and I bit my tongue to refrain myself from screaming in pleasure to inform all the other people that their CEO was taming its prey in their territory. 

He slipped his hand inside my folds and then entered two fingers in slowly as my breath shortened.

I never realized how big his fingers were until he brushed against the wall of my entrance. 

The door suddenly opened, slamming against the wall. I widened my eyes when my gaze fell on Carl.

My heart skipped a bit and I felt Cameron's fingers slipping outside of me and freeing me as I hastily stand up.

luckily we didn't get undressed yet.

He was pale but at the same time red with fury and his eyes were so wide that it seemed like they may explode from time to time.

I swallowed down, not because I was concerned about his judgment about me but because I didn't want Carl to get in the middle of my and Cameron's relationship. 

"When I heard people mentioning your name I thought they misunderstood but now that I see it with my eyes I feel so disappointed and outraged by you Lily." His eyes thinned and his fists clenched, I felt Cameron moving but I squeezed his hand to calm him now.

That was between me and Carl, I slowly walked closer to him and knitted my eyebrows down as I stared at the portrait of Carl as mad as I had never seen him before.

"Now you understand how I feel about you," I said without any regret or resentment at all. Nor even anger. Slapping with the hard truth, a consequence of what he caused.

He didn't reply but kept glowering at me furiously. I took a long deep breath and then continued "the only difference back then was that all the feelings I went through were legitimate and fair since we were dating and going to marry. But now I don't own you anything so please walk away and don't shame yourself as you already did for your entire life."
