CHAPTER 64: FIONA
NEW YORK CITY:
Fiona woke up that morning before any one else in the Romero mansion. She wore a sweater on a skimpy denim short that barely covered her ass. When Frankie went to the kitchen to make breakfast, he was shocked to see Fiona looking quite sexy with her hands soiled with flour. What was she up to? he thought.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You shouldn’t be in the kitchen ma’am. ” Frankie told her before proceeding to say “Good morning.”
“Morning Frankie.” she told him ignoring his first request.
“I’ll handle it from here. ” Frankie said after walking up to her trying to snatch the bowl of dough from her hand
“Let it go man! ” she scolded Frankie. “Henceforth, you’ll cook when I ask you to. Do you understand? ” she said while Frankie nodded. Her charming voice made her sound less authoritative but Frankie knew she just given him an order. He bowed his head and walked out of the kitchen recalling how Judy once made breakfast for Gideon the other day. He shook his head from left to right laughing at the women’s desperate nature to make Gideon theirs and his boss’s constant cold attitude towards them.
Gideon’s mother went to the kitchen and saw Fiona baking. She smiled and said “You know your onions. ” Fiona smiled back and turned around so the woman could check her out.
“You look hot. ” commented Gideon’s mother.
“Thanks aunt. ” she replied lowering the intensity of the oven.
“Is he up yet? ” Fiona asked Gideon’s mother.
“You didn’t check up on him? ” the woman asked her.
“No. ” Fiona replied shaking her head. After Gideon’s outburst yesterday, she had resolved to letting things flow naturally. Fiona had promised to use her charm and wit on Gideon by stealing up on his weakness to get to him. Last night, Gideon slept in the guest room because Fiona was lodging in his room. That morning before she went into the kitchen, she had taken her stuff out of Gideon’s room and had relocated to a vacant one. She wouldn’t force herself on him she had promised herself. Slow and steady wins the race.
“I’ll shower and join you at the table. ” said her godmother.
“Why don’t you serve Mr. Romero breakfast in bed? ” suggested his mother. Fiona smiled liking the idea while Gideon’s mother exited the kitchen.
“What the hell are you doing?” Gideon screamed at Fiona pushing the tray of breakfast she had placed on the edge of his bed. Before waking him up, she had ran her fingers through his hair and imagined how waking up next to him every morning would feel. She tapped him and he was awakened to the breakfast she had made. Freshly baked cookies and coffee. Fiona was shocked after Gideon pushed the tray away which resulted into some of the cookies falling into the floor. She went to his left side where two of the cookies fell and bent over in an attempt to pick them up with the desire to expose her butt to him. She turned back around and Gideon was already getting out of bed.
“Wait Gideon. ” she said trying to stop him.
“Fiona please.” he told her folding his hands like people did whenever they wanted to pray.
“I don’t intend to ill treat you but I guess you need to know this, whatever you and my mother planned will not work, never. ” He said standing in the middle of the room in his boxers. Fiona stared at him and marveled at his physical endowment. I can wait to get down there. she thought biting her upper lip.
Before Gideon could realize it, Fiona fell on the couch next to his bed and began sobbing.
“I am so sorry Fiona.” Gideon pleaded but she wouldn’t stop crying. Out of sympathy and the need to console her, he moved closer to her and tried lifting her head which was buried in her palms. She quickly pulled him closer the moment he came closer and began crying. She folded her hands around his waist as he stood while she sat on the couch. Gideon found the act very uncomfortable so he quickly broke out from the embrace. He bent down and picked the cookies scattered on the floor. Fiona got up, cleaned her teary eyes with her left palm and began walking out of the room. Gideon grabbed the cup of coffee and sipped it which she saw with the tail of her left eye. She smiled and walked away while his mother watched from a distance.
Gideon reluctantly ate the breakfast Fiona made and hurried to the bathroom. He needed to get to the office immediately. Frankie knocked on the door of Gideon’s bedroom but no reply emanated from it so he pushed it open and grabbed the particular suit Gideon had instructed him to bring. When he returned to the guest room with the suit, he informed Gideon that Fiona had packed out of the room and he could return to his safe heaven. After Gideon got dressed and hopped into his car, his mother came out running to him which made him halt the car. Behind her was Fiona dressed as a professional business mogul.
“She will be going with you to the office. ” His mother revealed while Gideon sat in the car speechless.
