TWO DAYS LATER :
( ED' POV )
BANG !
BANG !
I was busy with my work with head buried in my laptop when I heard someone knocking at the door.
"Who's banging this early ?"
Half yelling and inquiring my voice left the throat.
"Ed you've 15 minutes to come out."
That was the order by my boss...I heard.
"Oh-okey okey."
I blurted out in nervousness. As I gathered my scattered pages & shut my laptop down. Hurriedly I rattled all my things in a bag and shoved it under my bed. I couldn't afford to get caught.
"I'm coming."
I raked my fingers through hair and made them unkempt to show that I woke up a few minutes earlier.
Opened the door and saw Camilla standing a few inches away stunning as ever not to forget with a stone face.
"Why are you standing this close I was almost going to bump into you."
I smirked by leaning a bit close to her face as she ebbed.
"Were you planning onto kiss me accidentally ?"
I knew it wasn't her intention, never in coming billion years. But still to tease her was so much fun.
"Shut your mouth."
She slammed her hand on my full face as she pushed me back.
"Get your @** ready we're going to get dad home."
Ugh ! Woman born with a stone instead of a heart. How cruel mother nature is.
"But it's too early only 08:00 let him rest a few hours !"
I resisted as she send me a hell glare.
"Okey okey"
I raised my hands in air as I surrendered. That was the best for now to gain her trust.
"I'm waiting for you down."
She glided downstairs .
"Don't forget to shift into my room HUSBAND."
The last words.....Oh sarcasm was enriched in her tone as she stepped down. But I do loved what she called me.
"Oh yeah my dear lovely lioness ! Just wait and watch I'll catch you."
I whispered to myself smirking as licked my lips . Donned a jacket upon my
muscle-T-shirt.
"Hella handsome !"
My reflection assured.
-------------
"Hello uncle !"
I waved to the old man from a reasonable distance when Camilla hugged her dad tightly.
"How are you feeling ?"
Sure he was still handsome in his 50s or maybe more. With grey-silver hair around his temples, not so wrinkled face and slender figure with handsome features. I assumed he remained popular with girls once in his youth.
No wonder Camilla inherited his charms.
"Better. Much better after seeing you both getting along well."
He looked at us with warm affection.
"Let's go dad."
I knew that old man was weak to walk all by himself. There was his assistant to aid but I insisted to help. Nothing comes for free I reminded myself.
"Wrap up your arm around my shoulder I'll help you get up."
I guided as he followed to my command.
-------------
CAMILLA' POV:
Ed help dad to exit from the hospital. He was such a gentleman & it wasn't just for a show off for some time. He also helped him throughout the lounge as dad seated himself into the cozy sofa. And Ed put off his shoes even though dad insisted not to. He was treating MY DAD like his !
And pops was pampering him and here an unknown jealousy was rising within me.
"You must be hungry uncle ?
Plus bored with hospitals food !"
Ed questioned as the both men were talking about current business affairs. Though dad didn't interfere into work but he do keep an eye on my strategies. Always guiding me, he was my mentor.
Unexpectedly Ed was talking like a businessman !
Stating what's good for a company, how to expand, to grab investors etc.
I remained sitting there listening them both when I overlooked Ed from head to toe for the first time. As I was seated in front of him I'd saw him clearly. He was leaning, elbows on his both knees & fingers laced. He was handsome. I'd say the most stunning man I ever came across__or I'd say the only man who caught my attention by disobeying me. Moreover I don't know why I was being attracted to him, I mean his ways. The way he was treating me___behaving rebellious.....was making me curious about his nature.
"Yes sure. Cam why don't you make something for both of us ?"
I was busy with my thoughts when dad pulled me out from my weird fantasy about Ed.
"Okey dad sure."
And I headed towards kitchen.
"How about pasta ?"
I asked the both men in half way.
"Yes sure sweetheart. I love pasta made by you. It's really delicious."
Ed praised me. And I felt butterflies within me. He was facing me and smiling wholeheartedly with.....I guess 'something' in his eyes which was making me uncomfortable. He was a bitter sweet personality.
I was feeling awkward as I never felt something like that. It was like a tingling sensation whenever he looks at me with that 'something' gaze. I forced a smile to hide my nervousness.
"I'm flattered honey. Now excuse me."
And I crept out of lounge hurriedly to calm the volcano of strange emotions.
--------------
Mr. Hudson whispered as he pushed his body to the edge of the sofa, close to Ed who was seated on another.
"How's it going with my daughter Mr. Diego ?"
( WAIT WHAT ? )
Ed spoke hushed leaning towards him with a smile. They're talking secretly like toddlers.
"Fine till now sir. Well you can call me Eduardo. But keep it a secret. I'm known as Ed here."
He winked at the end.
"Do you think she'll fall for you ?"
Mr. Hudson asked in worrisome tone. Though everything was going accordingly but still.....
"With my handsome looks I am sure sir she'll !"
Ed giggled as he placed his lame statement.
Mr. Hudson laughed with him.
"Sure young man. Just bring me back my loving soft hearted daughter."
"Don't worry sir. I'll make your daughter's icey heart melt with my love. You just have to play along."
Ed was confident to win.
"Ah ! Yes yes.
Don't worry I'm good at it. See she didn't suspect."
And both exchanged meaningful smiles.
---------------
"It's so yummy sweety."
Ed stuffed his mouth with a few bites and praised Cam' cooking.
"Thank you honey."
Camilla gave him a genuine smile, contrasting to her previous behaviour with him.
"You've become a great cook honey. Looks like Ed has been a turning point in your life."
Mr. Hudson commented.
---------------
After enjoying champagne and lot's of talking Mr. Hudson eventually came towards the topic of
**Mr. Diego**
"You know Ed Cam refused to marry the billionaire Mr. Diego just because she believed in the rumours. Moreover I don't know what I'll say to him as his marriage was fixed with Cam since childhood I promised to his father."
Maybe he was teasing her too or something else was there !?
"Don't worry uncle I'm sure he'll understand. As love can't be bought nor begged. I love Cam and she loves me."
Eduardo Diego aka Ed himself confessed his feelings.
The both men looked at Camilla in unison. She didn't know how that billionaire looks like not anyone has seen him except his business partners and investors. He was rumoured to be a playboy but no one ever caught him red handed. Only plenty of women were seen coming out of his mansion often. Of course media creates a fuss out of a simple news.
"Aww Ed you're too sweet."
"Uncle why don't you take rest now. Your health doesn't allow you to stay awake this long."
Ed was concerned but today he was supposed to share____ :p
"Yes son. I'll get going."
He winked meaningful towards Ed and Camilla.
"You both have fun."
Camilla flustered upon her father's words.
The duo silently walked upstairs towards THEIR room. As Camilla stepped in Ed locked the door and Pinned with the door leaving no room to escape.
"Just call me honey one more time it feels so good from your soft lips."
He said in a raspy voice, thumb trailing over her lips.
Camilla never experienced these type of feelings, not know how to behave. As no man dared to pursue her.
" Ee-Ed ."
Her body was on fire, unable to push him.
"Shsuhh don't."
He placed her arms behind her back as he thrust his lips onto her gently tracing her lips with tongue. Bit her lower lip to open her mouth, he pulled her closer controlling his naughty hands. Still he set free his tongue to do the work as he explored every corner of her mouth. Camilla melted into his embrace, the rising tide of emotions was intense causing her to react that heavenly kiss unknowingly.
"I can't breath."
Camilla said in between the kiss. But this didn't stop the handsome beast and he continued to make her feel on the ninth sky.
Their bodies boiled as Ed slipped his hand in her shirt tracing her navel & making her moan.
"Dd-Don't, stop Ed."
The sensation drugged her...Camilla was enjoying these feelings. She knew that something was there...a spark was there.
"I won't sweety. I want you right now my wife."
His body hardened as he lifted her by thighs and Camilla wrapped her legs around his waist.
And he kissed her hungrily, tore down each others clothes... both ended up in bed making earth shaking love.
