Chapter 7 - When we first Met Part 2

He bathe with his corgi, then dry its fur with a blower and brush it.

The dog keep on licking him to show his love to him.

They went down stairs for their breakfast. Once that he settled the corgi named King, with food and water, he sat down on the chair and reach the cup of coffee as he took his tablet and checked his emails.

His father sat down on the chair and join him. He sipped on his coffee and look at him.

"Why didn't you say anything when I told you that you'll marry the heiress of Mondragon?"

"I know that you'll still push me to marry her."

"Then better get rid of your women."

He's been a rebel after what happened to them two years ago. It was his fault after all. It was all his fault that both of their hearts are broken. It was his fault that she was angry at him. She hate him a lot.

He was about to leave in his Porsche when a big bike block the driveway. He saw her, wearing black heels, skinny jeans, white shirt and black coat and a backpack. When she removed her helmet, the wind passes through at the right time as it brushes her long raven hair. He was mesmerized and his heart was beating loudly.

He don't know how long he gape at her, but he was stunned, and he open the back door of his car when he compose himself from his daze and put his bag there.

"Where's King?" she asked in fierce voice however, she the dangerous look was her main asset.

"Inside. Why?" he asked coldly and approach her. She didn't say a thing walking inside like she own the runway. He exhales and followed her as the dog barks and run to her, wiggling his tail and jump to her. She caught it and hugged the dog. "Andromeda," he stop her. "Don't take King."

"He's mine!" she growls at him and the dog whimpers getting terrified.

"Hey," he got irritated and followed her outside as she put King inside her big empty backpack and put little helmet on the dog that fits King perfectly. "Come on, Andromeda. Let's talk about this." Good thing that he bath King, if not, she will get mad if he smell bad.

"Shut up." She said coldly.

"What if he jump out?!" He couldn't help but to raise his voice. The woman is so stubborn.

She stop and look up at him. She put belt on the dog inside the bag and then put the bag in front of her. Damn, her stubbornness was annoying.

So, he had no choice but to let her. He followed her using his car and he lost her making him cursed and annoyed. She was driving him crazy. She's fast with her driving and it drives him even madder. He arrived at the office and in a bad mood. He asked his secretary about the updates and while he's checking, his phone rings. He didn't answer it and continue his work.

After like an hour, his girlfriend show up with a cup cake that he hates. Cinnamon. She thought that he loved it, but he gave it to his secretary, since his secretary loved cinnamon so much. She needed a thing from him that's why Tina is there purring like a cat, twirl his swivel chair around, kneeling… unbuckling his pants. He just look down at her and let her pleasure him. But all he thought was Andromeda, the woman who has done it with him multiple times.

"Stop." She stop from what she's doing, and his erection dies. He sat up fixing himself and sign her to sit on the sofa. "What do you want?"

"I—I just missed you. We've been together for like a year. Why do you always asked me what I want whenever I came here?"

"Because it's your hobby?" He sound very much joking and pick up his phone and played with it for a while and checking his messages.

"I'm asking you to marry me." He stopped for a while. "Is that what you want to hear then?"

"Let's not meet again." He said putting down his phone. "I'll give you one last project and that's all. Never contact me again." She look broken for a moment.

"Why? Because I asked you to marry me?" she wipe her tears.

"Fuck!" he turn back and brushes his messy hair with his fingers.

"Then I take it back." She said and keep on insisting him.

"We both know that this is a game, Tina." He knew why Tina approach him. He's powerful. He have a lot of connections and have lots of money sitting on his back account.

"Well, let's keep playing then." She stood fixing her dress.

She's a model after all, beautiful body—but for Zach no one ever compare to Andromeda. She has a very beautiful body. Hour glass fit and athletic. He couldn't forget how she dance around and expertly beat up males. He just missed her, and it is killing him every day remembering how he left her.

"I can't play anymore." He decided. He went to the wall glass and look down from tenth floor, seeing her passing by with a dog on her backpack. "I am getting married." He already had pictured in his mind about her reaction. "I already had given you a condo you want. A car you want. A job you want. You are nearly a superstar. Tina, I can't play anymore."

"Z-Zach! We can still play even though you are married. You know that. It's not like I am not better than her."

She will never be enough or better than Andromeda. No woman compares to her. She's the best among the bests.

"I can't Tina. My fiancée, she's different."

"What do you mean different?" she strode toward me and caress my coat. He just can't say that she's the love of his life. "Don't tell me that you are afraid of her?" she wanted to laugh, and she caress his crotch but he didn't get hard on her. "Let's have lunch."

"This will be the last time that we see each other."

He tolerate her by going to the restaurant that she love most. Her assistant make reservations. When they arrived, he only eat a little and after they ate, he walked her to her car and since his building is nearby, he'll just walk back to his office.

He did not expect that he'll bump into Andromeda. He was too occupied watching her putting things on her Maserati and King is barking at him. Andromeda look at his direction and Tina kissed his cheeks that surprises him.

"Later, I'll wait for you on my unit."

He don't know if Andromeda is mad at him, she was just monotonous. Then he looked at Tina.

"I told you, this is last time."

He walk off and walk toward Andromeda. She ignore him, closes the door of her 2018 Maserati Ghibli from the shotgun seat. She was about to walk around the driver seat when he grabbed her arm. She pushes his arm away, but he still grabbed her elbow and make her face him.

"Let's have dinner later."

"I don't eat dinner." She was about to walk off again but he hold her and make her face him.

"You are just barrowing King from me."

"No. I am taking King away from you." She grit her teeth. He was too mesmerized on her smart mouth. "I bought that Corgi for few bucks and you just stole him from me!" She pushes him. He hold her elbow and pull her a lot closer to him. She chin up and glare at him.

"I am going to marry you anyway so—" she clenches her fist and probably her nails is digging on her palm skin, trying to compose herself not to hurt him. "We'll have dinner no matter what." He kissed her forehead and he let her go.

He went directly to the Mondragon Mansion. Asked the cook for their dinner since she doesn't want to go out and eat. He found her on the bed, lying there, still on her clothes and cuddling King. She was staring from nowhere. He couldn't help but to crawl on bed and hugged her from behind as well.

He was like dreaming. He was so caught up on their past that he can't move on. That until now, he cannot control himself just to get near her.

It was after their hot intimate first night together. She was so tired that couldn't get up from bed. She even asked him to bring her on the bathroom that she needed to pee. He giggles, kissing her lips and bring her to bathroom. Then he prepared the bathtub with warm water and pour some essential oils while she's peeing.

"I'll call for breakfast." She nodded still half eyes are open and he kisses her head as he call for breakfast.

He goes back to the bathroom finding her already on the bathtub and reaching up on him. His clingy girl. He never thought that he'll be her first. He never thought that this kind of woman—wanted to party all day and night was an innocent virgin. She got the perfect body that he wanted. She's healthy and can give him kids. She was just perfect for him.

After their breakfast in bed, still both naked, they cuddle again on the bed, the balcony double door are open and tell each other stories about themselves.

He was back to reality and she didn't mind him spooning her. She probably remember those times with him. But not until she demand him to get off from her. He probably smell like Tina.

Since he has pair of clothes with him and the guest room is settled for him, he take a shower on her room, which she didn't mind. Then he found her still on the bed with King.

"Let's eat now."

"I'm not hungry." Seeing the bandage around her upper arm makes his heart hurt.
