章 17: Good Morning

For the next 3 days Sia's schedule was fully packed. Due to the first day's events and the unplanned break on the second day, everything else was crammed into the last 3 days of the conference.

From Wednesday to Friday, even Alex couldn't see Sia except for the mornings and late evenings when he drove her to or from the conference. Upon arrival she would be busy with her scientific papers and some patient cases. So, all in all, Sia was at Alex's place but one couldn't feel her presence at all.

On Friday night, when Sia came back home, she was so tired that she went straight to bed and slept until late next morning. As usual, after she woke up, she went to the bathroom to freshen up and then walked downstairs still in a slightly sleepy state. By now Alex was used to her wearing shorts and vests as pajamas, so she didn't even bother to put a robe on, leaving most of her porcelain white skin exposed.

However, what she didn't expect was to see someone other than Alex sitting in the kitchen. And the back of that someone felt kind of familiar to her. When she got closer she was sure of who it was. So she relaxed and just greeted them,

"Good morning boys!"

Alex and Will were sitting at the kitchen bar with their backs facing the door. Engrossed in their conversation, they didn't even notice that someone entered the kitchen until they heard a melodious voice of a woman.

Alex turned straight away and greeted her back while Will stayed frozen at his seat for a moment: it felt as if her voice had sent electric sparks in his body.

He straightened himself and quickly followed suite. However, when he turned back what greeted him made him even more speechless.

She was in black satin shorts leaving her ideally shaped long legs wide exposed. They looked so smooth that he felt like brushing his hand over them. When he raised his head he saw the complementing black vest she was wearing, that was laced above the cleavage. Despite being loose fit, it further accentuated her hourglass figure even. He was starting to have wild thoughts of pulling her from her slim waist and kissing her up to her luscious cherry lips. Invading them and having a taste of her. Then...

He suddenly stopped his train of thoughts. He didn't want her to see him as a creep. But, he still could not come back to his senses. So he sat there, lost in her sight, completely forgetting about his greetings.

While Will was observing Sia, she was doing the same. The last time they met, Will was in his formal three piece suit and even though she could tell that he was fit she couldn't make out to what extent. But today he was wearing light blue jeans with a white fitted polo. She trailed from his face to his broad shoulders to his toned muscles on his upper arms. She then looked at his abs whose shape could be seen under his polo shirt. Weirdly, she felt a sense of safety from him. Like Alex, he looked like a pillar of support she found so steady that she could lean on.

Meanwhile, Alex didn't know what to do. 'Shouldn't this girl be convicted for being so beautiful that she drives even the coldest men mad for her? Will looks like and idiot. Wait. Wtf! Is he having wild thoughts of her??? I am going to kill him!' Then he turned his gaze back to Sia,

'Actually, I should kill this one for causing the downfall of the perfect cold image of Will! Why the heck is she always in such sexy pajamas? Why is there no robe on her? I am soo going to lecture her afterwards!'

"Attention! Attention! There is another person in the room!" He said mimicking the robotic voice of emergency announcers.

Both Will and Sia snapped back from their dazed states and looked at him, the former angrily while the latter apathetically. Will was going to speak first to lift the awkwardness but he was cut by Sia,

"Alex, dear, of course we know you are here. Afterall, if that wasn't the case we would already be getting physical! Right, Will?" She said winking at him.

Will, who was drinking water to calm down the heat inside his body, chocked on his water so hard that he fell into a coughing fit.

Alex on the other hand was having mixed feelings,

'I just hope this damned girl doesn't know what her words are doing to Will.'

Only...

"Guys, what are you thinking about? You know, I meant that we would have greated each other with a hug if you," she pointed at Alex and continued "didn't look at me as if I was some criminal. Mind telling what I have done wrong?" She asked, looking questioningly with her big doe eyes that together with her loose platinum hair made her look like an innocent little angel.

Her innocent expression actually worsened Will's state who started feeling guilty for having such wild thoughts about her. He was grateful to all the powers in the universe that his jeans where tight enough to hide his now grown member.

Looking at him and his reaction, Sia secretly smirked to herself thinking,

'Sorry, but the angel is not home now. If you want her back, you must purify your thoughts first! When you do, I promise not to torture you and your little brother anymore!'
