Becoming His Woman

Chapter 6: County

Herena’s Point of View

I spent the whole Sunday laying sideward on my bed to avoid my burn being touch. It doesn’t hurt much now. Alexis is such a good liar. My back's reflection in the mirror aren’t that ‘horrible' as he described it. It simply looks a bit reddish and is only about 5 inches in width.

Great! I can still go to work tomorrow.

After dinner, Alexis helped me in applying the lotion Dr. Alipio left. It is to help me heal immediately, she said.

I ask my cousin to close his eyes as I remove my shirt and bra to give him better access. I laid my body on the bed with my back facing him. “I’m ready.” I signaled him.

“Huh? Ready for what?” I saw him smirks as I turn my head a little bit sideward. My cousin is such a p*****t!

“Gross! We’re not incest.” I hissed to shut him up.

“Good morning Mr. Dexigrous.” I greeted him feigning a smile. I’m still mad at him for leaving us…leaving me behind. I encompasses my outfit for today with my mood.

I am suppose to wear an all black outfit to radiates my madness towards him. Unfortunately, black colored blouse aren’t too good for someone with burn, thus I chose a white blouse instead. Light colors doesn’t trap the heat inside the body like dark colors do. I paired it with a skimpy black skirt having a high cut on the side. My legs are my best assets and I would make sure to torment him with his unyielding thoughts!

He looks at his watch before lifting his gaze to mine. Uh-oh. Am I late?

“Ms. Fernatto, you are ten minutes late.” He said calmly but I can sense the authority behind it. How dare you scold me? If you didn’t became so selfish and warned everyone about the bomb, I wouldn’t have a burn to tend that delays my departure from home to work.

“So?” Gosh! What did I just said. I saw how my boss was left hanging with my response.

“H-uh…I mean sorry. Sorry Mr. Dexigrous. I admit my fault and I promise not to practice the habit again.” I apologizes. He is still my boss. And I shouldn’t fall out of his grace even though I am mad. He can fire me with misconduct. My plans will be screwed up. I will instead revenge on little things.

I take my seat without his cue; place my one leg on the other; and flip my hair lightly to the side to reveal my sexy neck. From my peripheral view, I saw him swallowed hard. Good! It’s working.

“Mr. Dexigrous, you’re schedule for today is to visit an on-going project of the Dexigrous Foundation in Catskill. It was about a two and a half hour travel from Manhattan.” I explained.

“Alright. Call Mrs. Estrada to e-mail me the list of workers there. Today will be their monthly pay out. And since we are going there, we’ll hand them the cash instead of e-money.” Yes Sir! I first searched for Mrs. Estrada’s number on the automated machine and dial it at once.

“Come on Ms. Fernatto, let’s get going.”

Throughout the travel, I just sleep my head off to avoid being in a deadening silence with him. Naturally, I couldn’t sit back like what I normally do before. Because of my burn, I’m force to slightly turn sideward facing the window.

…

…

…

“Hmmm…” I slightly opens my eyes as I gained consciousness from slumber. But to my surprise, I am facing the driver’s seat and not the outside window. I immediately turn my body to the front without having my back make contact with the leather seat; and slyly check for any saliva if there is. I heard him chuckled.

“Don’t worry. You still got your poise while sleeping.” My cheeks are burning. Did he just compliments me? He is noticing me now.

…

“We’re here.” He said as we reach the county. This village was grassy with few cows around. In my front, stood a skeletal structure of what I guess is a building. This was the project we’ve come to visit.

“Welcome Sir!” A man greeted us whom I guess is one of the builders.

“Mr. Smith meet my secretary, Ms. Bliss Fernatto.” Mr. Dexigrous introduced me.

“I’m Samson Smith, the head engineer of this great project.” He offers his hand which I gladly take. “We are very thankful of Mr. Dexigrous for sponsoring the new school prospect of our humble county.” Hmm…so Calix had this good side of him. It wouldn’t be right for me to accused him of being selfish...

“Alright Mr. Smith, shall we have a closer look inside…”

“Sure.”

At around 5 pm, finally Mr. Dexigrous finishes inspecting the structures; issuing salaries for the workers; as well as hearing the problems and difficulties of the project. I heard Calix is visioning a sturdy and well-built school that can last for ages to cater the need for free education.

On our way back, a heavy rain poured; making the ambiance appear more gloomy as it’s already 6 o’clock in the afternoon. I tried to sleep again on our way back but to no avail. The thunders and lightning are quite the disturbance. I have a lot of questions running in my minds.

“Hmm…Mr. Dexigrous can I ask you questions?” I asked for his permission. He looks at my direction and smiles. I observed that he smiles a lot this day.

“Why do you bother investing your money in projects that wouldn’t give you any profit in return?” He is a businessman. Naturally, he is into earning than giving money.

“Because I can…” He is still smiling. A mafia son isn’t excluded to the aftermath satisfying feeling after helping someone.

I felt the car suddenly halted. “What’s wrong?” I don’t have to wait for answer as I saw a fallen debris blocking the road.

“s**t!” I heard Mr. Dexigrous cussed hard. He made a U-turn and drives back to the county. It feels like, we are the most unlucky beings in the world. The engine automatically stops. Something went wrong with it’s mechanics. I saw how Calix feels frustrated as he grabs on his hair.

“Mr. Dexigrous.” I tried to calm him down and held his hand to stop stressing his hair. “Calm down.” I said. We should think of a way. I opened the door and steps outside to see if there is perhaps a big stone halting the wheels. I have to check myself.

“Bliss!” I heard him called out. It was the first time he called me by my first phony name.

I bent my knees to see underneath. “You need a flashlight woman.” I saw Mr. Dexigrous standing in front with his phone on his hand wearing nothing but boxers. Gosh! He looks damn burning hot with waters cascading through his bulky chest and well defined abs. Why didn’t I think about removing my clothes off before bravely stepping under the rain. I am all wet now.

Calix joined me on my knees as he turns on the flashlight of his phone. It was a waterproof one. To our dismayed, there are nothing underneath; meaning the problem was on the car itself.

“Take off your clothes.” He commanded me. Wait. What?

“That is what you get from acting recklessly…You wouldn’t wish the seats to get wet too right?” I get it. I should be rational enough to treat it without malice. I took off everything leaving only my bra and underwear. I cussed myself so bad for choosing to wear my favorite black lacey underwear duo. I suddenly remember about my burn. I gathered all my hair to my back to cover it, but doing so, I left my breast in so much exposure. It feels like letting something go, to keep the other safe.

I once again enter the car and landed my butt on the passenger’s seat.

“f**k!” I heard Calix exclaimed upon looking at my body. What’s wrong? Before I know it, he was already devouring my mouth. It feels heaven. After eight long years, I got to taste his luscious lips again. His hand was sliding up and down of my thigh. This was so intoxicating. I’m losing control. In a manner of second, he sweeps me off by my butt and landed me on his lap. Waters are still dripping in our body. I’d never imagined to we’d come to this point so fast.
