One Wild Night

As he played the game against the computer his mind flashed back to his time at the game arcade with Sonia the last time, and how she had cussed every time she lost a game. He grinned to himself as he repeated some of the cuss words she had used, every time the computer won against him.

.

He sighed when after playing several games yet Sonia remained on his mind, and then he dropped the game pad on the table. What was he going to do about this sudden attraction to Sonia? Now that he had kissed her, he knew it wasn't going to take long before things progressed from just a kiss. Only God knew how far he would go the next time.

His eyes drifted to his phone on the table when he heard his message notification tone, and he reached for it. He raised a brow when he noticed that the message was from an unsaved number, and his traitorous heart skipped a beat when he clicked on the message and realized it was from Sonia, because of her picture which was attached to it.

His lips curved in a smile before he could stop himself when he saw the picture she had sent. Typical Sonia. It was a selfie of herself with a goofy expression on her face. Her eyes were staring at her nose like she had crossed eyes, and her tongue stuck out of her lips like she was making fun of him. The accompanying text read, "Miss me?"

He really wished he could say he didn't miss having her around the house. Somehow she had been there for only a couple of days, but his home already had a different feel without her in it. Even though they argued and fought most of the time, she was still the most exciting and beautifully exhilarating lady he had come across.

"Wait, what? You've got to slow down, Bryan!" Bryan cautioned himself in alarm when he realized what he was thinking.

This was a major danger signal. How could he be already thinking that the green-eyed witch he was trying to get rid of was the most exciting lady he had come across? Yeah, maybe she was, in all honesty, but he didn't even like her! Or did he? Bryan thought with a slight frown. No, he didn't like her. Even though she was fun to be around, she was also stubborn and annoying, and those weren't attributes he wanted in a lady.

He would be damned if he ever admitted to her that he missed her anyway, Bryan thought as he responded to her text, "No. The house is more peaceful without you."

After sending the text it occurred to him that he didn't even have her phone number the whole time she had been under his roof. How had he forgotten to do that? He asked himself as he tried to save the number she had used in texting him. What other name could be more appropriate for someone like her other than her original title? Green-eyed witch.

He had a satisfied smile on his face after saving her number and raised his head when he heard the sound of the doorbell. He sighed in relief knowing that it was probably his manager at the door with the production team, so he directed his wheelchair to the door and opened it to see his manager standing there with the CEO.

"Hey!" Bryan greeted them as they both walked into the house, "Where are the others?" He asked as he looked behind them before looking from his manager to the CEO.

"I figured I get some things straightened out with you before they get here," the CEO said as he looked around the house, before looking at Bryan, "Where is she?" He asked, referring to Sonia.

"She went out to get some clothes," Bryan said as he turned his back to them and returned to the living room, leaving them to follow him.

"Good. So we can talk comfortably," the CEO said, without making any move to sit down. He stood in front of Bryan with a serious expression in his eyes.

"You do realize that this show is a perfect opportunity for you to break up with her, right? I understand that you messed up by proposing to a stranger, but you can fix it now. All you need to do is subtly make her act up during the show, and push her until she does something to you that your fans will consider unacceptable, and then you can break up with her. That would reduce the backlash you are likely to receive," the CEO suggested, while Jeff took his seat on one of the sofas in the living room.

"Why do I have to make her act up and then break up with her on the show?" Bryan asked with an annoyed expression, not liking what the CEO was suggesting.

"You no longer want to end things with her?" The CEO asked with a slightly confused frown.

"I know I want to end things with her, but that doesn't mean I want it to be at her detriment..." His words trailed off when he recalled that he had been planning to do exactly that when he invited Matt over initially. He had wanted to set her up with Matt and make it seem like she was trying to ruin their friendship by seducing Matt, so why was the idea sounding so annoying to him now?

Perhaps it was because he was a man of integrity and he was only trying to uphold his standing agreement with Sonia. She had promised to end things between them herself, so he was going to let her do it. It was better for them both that way.

"If you don't do it when you have the chance, how else do you intend to end things between you both? Perhaps you have changed your mind and you want to continue with the relationship?" The CEO asked suspiciously.

"Of course, not! Just let her be. We will end it when we end it," Bryan said, not willing to give out the details of his agreement with Sonia.

"You do know that she is using you, right? I did some background work and confirmed that the sales of her books have more than tripled since she met you," the CEO said, making Bryan raise a brow.

"Have you read any of her books?" Bryan asked, making Jeff who was watching the exchange between them, look at him curiously.

"Am I supposed to?" The CEO asked with an incredulous snort.

"I'm just asking, cause maybe if you did you would understand why the sales tripled. People must have bought one of her books because they were curious about her, I did too. But trust me when I say I don't think they kept buying her books just because of me. She is a talented writer," Bryan said, making Jeff's lips twitch with an amused smile. He wondered if Bryan realised that he was defending Sonia.

"Still the sales of her books would never have tripled had she not met you. I think you should break up with her before she causes you any trouble. What if she starts blackmailing you or something?" The CEO asked.

"Listen, I understand your concern, but nobody is using anybody. I approached her first after all, so don't worry about it. Plus Sonia isn't the type to blackmail anyone," Bryan said confidently, making the CEO sigh wearily as he walked over to one of the sofas and lowered himself on it in defeat. Bryan was stubborn, so he was going to allow him to do as he pleased, but if he so much as noticed any suspicious move from Sonia, he was going to have to step in and take care of things.

Jeff who had been quietly following the conversation grinned to himself. It seemed like Mia had been right after all. Sonia was gradually getting under Bryan's skin, and he doubted that Bryan was aware of it. It was amusing to watch Bryan talking about a lady this way.

"When is the production team coming over for us to discuss the details of the show?" Bryan asked, wanting to change the subject. He looked at Jeff with a slightly raised brow when he noticed that Jeff was staring at him with an amused expression on his face as if he knew a secret Bryan wasn't aware of.

"They are already on their way. When will Sonia be back? Have you both sorted out your love story?" The manager asked curiously.

"Yes, we have. I don't know when she's coming back," Bryan said and glanced at his phone when it beeped with a message notification from the green-eyed witch once again.

"Then perhaps I should make you miss me?" The text read, and the next thing he knew several photos came in at the same time, causing his eyes to widen in surprise when he noticed the different sexy gowns she was wearing in each of the photos. In each of the photos, she struck different provocative poses like she was a model, showcasing her ass and boobs in most of the photos.

The accompanying text read, "I'm having a difficult time picking my dress, and since you said I can't ask Mia, you are all I've got. Which do you prefer?" She asked, and then flooded his inbox with more provacative photos making Bryan groan inwardly when he felt his member twitch between his legs.

Whether she was with him or not, she was trouble to his body and mind.

He quickly typed a response, "None. I don't like any of them."

He wasn't going to be able to think straight or control himself around her if she walked around his house dressed in such provocative clothes. He was bound to make a fool of himself, and then there would be cameras around to capture his madness. So no! He didn't want any of those clothes.

"What did he say?" Mia asked when Sonia giggled.

"As expected, he doesn't like any of them," Sonia said with a grin.

"So you are not taking them?" The sales clerk asked with a worried frown, since she had been excited that Sonia had picked so much clothes.

Bryan was so done for.

"Pack them all. I want all of it," Sonia said with a wink at Mia, who giggled excitedly, while the sales clerk happily did as she was told.

"Now that we are done with shopping, let's go get the makeover!" Mia announced.
