When Chloe got out of the car, she stopped in amazement. Brian's house was huge; the outside was lit up like a Christmas morning, the beige trimmings bounced off the white walls. The driveway glistened like morning snow. It had bright green grass wrapping around each side. In the center was a huge fountain made of marble. She was admiring the features of the house when Brian walked up next to her. "Everything ok? You have been standing here for about 5 min now?" "Oh...Um...Ummm...your house is huge. Please don't tell me you are a drug lord. God, please don't let me regret my decision." Chloe grows worried realizing she hadn't asked what Brian did. She thought it wouldn't matter but looking at his house; now she wished she would have asked.
Brian laughed at her reaction. Seeing this laughter come from Brian, Ryan stood astounded by this reaction. He had never seen this man laugh before. However it seemed this woman had changed him, he now has feelings. Amid the laughter, Brian managed to speak. "Angel, I can promise you I have no illegal dealings. Everything I have I worked hard to obtain. I am a businessman. I've obtained several large corporations and work hard to revive them. I do hope this answer is enough." Walking forward with Brian leading Chloe, She took a deep breath of relief. "I apologize for the comment it was out of line. I was just in disbelief. I'll only stay for a few days and then head back home. I still have duties to tend to. I can't just hide out forever." Brian lead her into the house. Stepping inside, it looked like a palace, a large staircase greeted them with a staff of maids and butlers lined along each railing. Everyone completely poised and greeted Brian. "Welcome home master." Then shifted their attention to Chloe. Surprised to see Brian with a female, they gave her a look mistrust. Each was wondering what tricks she pulled to gain Brian's favor, but none expressed their concern. "This is Miss Chloe Wilson. She will be staying for a little while. While she stays, all of you are to treat her properly and are not to gossip about why she is here. Any concerns you may have you can address to Ryan or me. That is all; you may now go back to work." Chloe admired Brian; he was clear and assertive. When he spoke everyone listened and no one dares break his rules, or they should be thoroughly punished. "Follow me I'll show you to your bedroom. This will forever be your room if you decide to stay longer or come back." Chloe followed him like a lost puppy. Speechless as she walked she viewed the paintings and photos on the walls. They all portrayed a happy family of three. On the third floor, he stopped at the third door on the right. He smiled at her bewildered face."This is your room." After he opened the door, Chloe was stunned at its beauty and couldn't find the strength to move. He grabbed her hand and led her in. Upon walking in, she noticed the large bed with a white majesty style canopy. Beside the bed, there was a small nightstand with a reading lamp. After she turned around, she noticed a door to her right and door to her left. "Where do these doors go?" She opened the one to her right to a deep, walk-in closet. It must have been about 12 foot long and 24 foot wide. She closed the door as fast as she opened it. "It's as big as a bedroom. What is behind this door? As she opened it Brian spoke. "It is a bathroom. I should mention it is a shared bathroom. Be sure to lock the other door when you are in here. You will want to avoid any mishaps." She walked in taking notice of how large it was. Across from her door was the other door he spoke of. To her right was a walk in shower. She noticed in the shower was a ceiling mounted luxurious rainfall showerhead. Next to the shower was a floor to ceiling mirror. To her left, she noticed on the far wall there was an extra wide Marcy Hammered copper double-slipper tub. She has always wanted to have this tub. She just felt 4,000 u.s.d. was too much for a tub. Seeing it now she wished she would have gone for it. A few feet from the tub was the toilet and across was the sink with the traditional medicine cabinet above it. "Wow. This bathroom is every girl's dream. It's even painted in a lustful red. Plant some candles and some white rose petals, and it could have a romantic vibe." Before realizing what she had said and whom she was speaking to, Brian took advantage. "Good to know. So you like romance?" "What girl doesn't like to be romanced?" Realizing what she had just said she grew highly embarrassed. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything like that. I was just thinking aloud. I don't want you to have the wrong impression of me. I'm not a floozy." Brian chuckled at her remark and choice of words. "That could never happen." "So who's room is over there?" "That would be my room."
"Your room? You're so close..." Growing nervous Chloe couldn't help but think about him being in the next room, and now they share a bathroom. What if she walked in on him or him on her? What was she going to do...
"So it is getting late if you wish I can have to staff prepare dinner for you." Brian watched as she fidgeted with her hair, obviously nervous. Watching this attractive woman do this began to turn him on. It was now taking every ounce of willpower not to push her down onto her bed and ravish her. Brian knew this couldn't happen. She may be his for tonight but what about tomorrow?
"It's ok Brian I'll just head to bed and rest. It has been a long day. I do want to get a shower first if you don't mind." Realizing they were still in the bathroom, Brian left out. "Please excuse me. I do still have some work to complete." With that, he shut the door. He stood on the other side wishing he could go in. "What has this woman done to me?" He thought aloud. He had noticed the change of behavior when he was around her — walking to his bed, grabbing papers off his desk. "I should just build a wall and shut her out. Who am I to come into her life and mess thing up?" Pondering what he should do, he lifted the documents into his lap and began to review them.
Chloe finished her shower, got dressed and felt she needed to let Brian know she was out. So she walked to his door and knocked on it calling his name a few times. "Brian... Brian are you awake?" She slowly pushed the door open and peered around, seeing the light on she thought he must be up. She walked into his room, walking toward the light. "Hey, I just wanted...." She stopped mid-sentence noticing he had indeed fallen asleep while working. Taking the documents from his hands, she set them on the nightstand. She then covered him trying not to wake him. She turned out the light and went back to her room.
What a day, it has been eventful and relaxing in the same. Her thoughts consumed her, mainly about who Mr. Brian is. She drifted off to sleep.
Sometime in the night, Brian awoke to find himself in a blanket and his work on his desk. Trying to remember if he had done it already or feel asleep doing his work, he decided to push the thought away. Who else other than himself would be brave enough to enter his room?
......................
Several days have passed, and Chloe found herself dreading going home. Although she didn't get to spend much time with Brian, the few encounters were enough to make her smile for a lifetime. Luckily they didn't have any issues walking in on each other in the bathroom. She wasn't sure if she regretted it or not. As she is packing to head home, she heard a knock on her door. "Miss Chloe, are you about done? Your ride is here." It was one of the staff. "Yes, I'm about done. Has Brian made it home yet? I wanted to thank him and say bye." "No ma'am not yet. Would you like to leave him a note?" "No that will be ok. He knows how to reach me."
With that, she finished the last few things grabbed her bags and headed for the stairs. Now usually in books and films, this would be the part where the guy is either waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs or would rush out for an epic goodbye. Well, This wasn't Chloe's case, and she knew her luck wasn't that good. With a sad sigh, she left knowing she had to return to reality sooner or later.
