Chapter 12 Just Sex and Fun, No strings Attached

“You look terrible, have you taken your bath yet.”

Delfina shook her head negatively, sniffing.

“You cross your heart on the promise, She asked staring at her mum.

“Yes, just take your bath and eat something,” Xiomara said already standing, her day was very stressful all she needed was a good sleep.

“Okay,” She said looking at Xiomara as she walked out of the room.

Xiomara closed the door and headed to her room.

Later that evening in Morris's house in Dubai, he was welcomed warmly by his butler John.

“Madam Ruby called, she sounded worried,” John said taking Morris's suitcase from him.

Ruby Fox was Morris's wife, they got married ten years ago, and are yet to have any child.

Morris walked to his room without saying anything to John, he freshened up and came down to have some dessert and work on some files, then his phone began to buzz. It was his wife.

“Aren't you done with your business there?” Ruby asked immediately after the call connected, it had been three months since he left Paris for Dubai and she was already missing her husband.

“Do you think if I was done, I will still remain here, am working on something important, and once am done, I would come home” Morris said emotionless.

“Your friend Steve, called, he sent an invitation over so he wanted to know if you could attend, his getting married for the sixth time yes,” Rebecca said and Morris smiled.

“Why?, Are you scared I might one day wake up to be like him?” Morris asked.

“I don't know but you should be wary of him, I don't like him for you, and his a bad influence” Rebecca snapped.

“Steve has been my friend since high school, you don't expect me to stop talking to him all because he can't leave with one woman, Leave the man alone, he has a lot of money to take care of the alimony,” Morris said, his eyes buried in his laptop.

“Really?, Are you supporting him now?, Tell me, are you also planning to get a new wife, is that what is keeping you there?” Rebecca asked.

Morris laughed “You know I love you and can never do that to you, You are the only one in my heart honey”

Rebecca smiled feeling very stastified, she knows her husband love her and will never break her heart.

“I will be coming home perhaps, next weekend, Can you email me his invitation?” He asked.

“Are you planning to attend?” Rebecca was shocked.

“I told you our friendship has come a long way, Please honey don't make a mountain out of a molehill”

“If you are going then I will go with you, I can't have Steve start feeding you with trash” Rebecca was an over-protective wife, the last thing she wanted was to lose her husband.

“Just do what I asked you to do, Also I would be traveling back to Sacramento once I come back there's—”

“Another business trip, Darling you can't be going from one business trip to the other, you are the CEO for goodness sake so please send someone else, you have a family to stay with, I can literally count how many times you've been at home this year” Rebecca blabbed, not letting morris finish what he was saying.

“We are having a high school reunion darling, and remember I said I wanted to set up in Sacramento, it's best if I stay there to oversee things, you can come with me if you want,” Morris said, he knew his wife would say know, she works and loved her work and can't imagine quieting it.

Rebecca was silent, thinking about what her husband said, her best friend Jane had suggested that her husband might be cheating after she told her about his non-stop trips.

Now that Morris was telling her about joining him in Sacramento knowing how much effort she puts into her work, that she can't leave it for anything, she was convinced that he is either cheating or thinking about starting.

“I will think about it Morris, finish with this present trip before planning another” Rebecca snapped and ended the call.

Morris smiled removing his ear pod, he picked up his phone and sent her some money, after which, he sent her a text.

Morris: I love you honey, am sorry if I offended you but trust me, am not cheating on you, Steve might be my friend but am not like him.

He was about to drop his phone when his wife sent him a love and smiling emoji.

Rebecca: Thanks for the money, and I trust you darling.

Morris smiled, “Such an easy wife he married” he clicked on the call icon and dialed Serena’s number but she didn't pick up even after the sixth call.

Morris: Hi Love, Did I do something wrong.

The message clicked seen and he waited patiently for some time before Serena finally replied.

Serena: Please leave me alone, I figured out you might need sex, and that was why I gave it to you, I seriously didn't expect to see your text or call again.

Morris smiled reading her text, he wasn't giving up on her easily.

Morris: I want you Serena, to be mine.

Serena: You are going to get blocked if you keep texting me like this Morris, I spent all my evening with you and I need to meet up for the time waste, Stop disturbing me.

Morris: Hope you know am not giving up on us.

Serena: There is no us, go to your wife, it was nice having a taste of your dick, but am not interested.

Morris stared at those messages, he grinned dropping his phone but then again he picked it up again.

Morris: Let's make a deal, we can just be friends with benefits, just fun, and sex, no strings attached.

Serena: Not interested, go away, my phone isn't your toy.

Morris: Just think about it, you have nothing to lose.

Morris stayed glued to his phone waiting for Serena’s reply but he got none, even though it clicked seen, he got tired of waiting and finally slept off.

The next morning

Serena woke up to the knock on her door, she muttered stealing a glance at her alarm clock “Shit” she had a presentation to make by 10 am.

The knock came again, this time a little louder than the first.

Serena sneered walking to the door.

“Good morning” She greeted the delivery man.

“Good Morning, I was asked to deliver a package to ms Serena Testa,” the man said.

Serena stared at him, taking notice of the box and flower in his hand.

“I'm the one”

“This is for you” he handed her the box and flower “Can you please sigh here?”

Serena signed and watched him leave before walking inside.

‘Did Anthony send her some gifts?, its been years’

She smelt the flowers and smiled then took out the card note in it, she opened it and it read “Good morning my love, hope your next was good, mine was perfect because I spent the whole night thinking about you, and waiting for your message but didn't get none”

Serena rolled her eyes, she already knew whom the gifts were from, she tossed the card aside and opened the box.

It contained a brown new designer shoe from Dior, Serena wowed looking at it, she had wanted to buy it a few days ago after seeing it online but it cost a fortune and was a limited edition, rare to see.

“Perfect color” she smiled, the shoe had a mixture of white and black which can go for any outfit.

Serena was still drooling over the shoe when her phone buzzed, it was Morris.

“Hope you love the gift?” Morris asked heading to work.

“Get a pair for your wife too” Serena snapped.

“She too outdated to wear heels, and you Serena, you are such a vibe killer”

Serena chuckled “I actually got a degree in that” she held the shoe walking up to her room.

“What do you say about my offer?” Morris asked.

“Can we stop Morris, I might not be very young but am not desperate for marriage or a relationship, besides you would be hurting your wife by so doing” Serena went through her wardrobe trying to get a cloth to fit the new shoe.

“We are getting a divorce, when will you understand that, Let's discuss it after the presentation” Morris said.

“Am afraid I would have clients lined up to see me, and I have just two hours to attend to as many as I can” Serena said.

She smiled Looking at the black jumpsuits.

“Then I will be your first client today” she heard Morris before the beep sound.

She dropped her phone and dress on top of the bed before she went into the bathroom.

The board clapped immediately after Selena finished her presentation and walked to her seat, the deal was finalized and Dawn Bancorp got new investors, thanks to Serena.

“You look stunning and the shoe fits well” Morris admired her.

Serena smiled “Everything looks good on me” she looked around and saw the eyes of the employee all on her, especially her shoe, she could see a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

“Please don't come to my office Mr. Fox, this is my workplace” Serena turned to leave.

“Should I come over to your house then?” Morris asked walking beside her, while the confused and jealous employee watched.

Serena didn't say any other word until they were finally in her office, she turned staring into his face.

She thought about his text, Morris was right, she didn't have anything to lose, she wasn't married yet or committed to anyone even though she was engaged to Anthony whom she hasn't seen in years, and not even sure if he was still alive.

But she has a lot to benefit from this little romance, she couldn't even remember the last time she had a delivery man in her doorpost deliver gifts to her but today Morris was considerate enough to send one to deliver an expensive limited edition shoe.

“Fine, Just sex, and fun, No strings attached”.
