Chapter 9: The Billionaire's Desire

   I am in office, but for the first time to wind up the work in the morning itself. That is so unlike me, especially after my relationship breakup. Because after that breakup, work was the only relief my mind was ready to accept. Rest everything use to get me stress and loneliness. But today was different. Since the time I have reached office, I am unable to concentrate on my work. I am continuously thinking about Stacy, the lady of my life to be. By now I have already called her twice just to hear from her that she is fine.

It is just 15 minutes that I have called her, although at that time also, she was not sounding that good, but she confirmed me that she is fine. And now, just after 15 minutes after i called her, I received a call on my cell and the name flashing on the screen is her's. I got worried to see that, because I knew that until something big will happen, she will never call me. I attended the call just to hear her snobs and then she continued, “Mr. Faith, someone is continuously pressing the doorbell since quite a some time now, but I am frightened to open it. I am fearing that it’s a rush of reporters or may be someone else. But since I do not know anyone nor I have any visitor expected, so I don’t know who that might be. Can you please do something? Please!”

“Don’t worry, I will be right there. Just stay calm and don’t open the door until I am there. Please don’t cry.” I said and cut the call just to run towards my car and drive to her place.

     In the meantime I have called my lawyer to do something about the reporters who are continuously disturbing us. And he is already on his work.

     The moment I entered her complex, I was shocked to find that there was a bunch of reporters trying their best to get a glimpse of her. I warned them to stay away else I will take some legal action against them. Hearing which they finally get afraid and moved away from there. I called Stacy on reaching to her door and asked her to open the door. She didn’t take any time and opened the door immediately as if she was standing on the gate only. Immediately after opening the door and seeing me, she embraced me into tight hug and started crying her heart out. I composed her by just running my hand on her back but without saying anything. She was crying and crying and I could feel her tears making my shirt wet and touching me on my heart.

“Stacy”, I finally decided to open my heart and tell her about my feelings.
“Can you stay like this forever?”, after hearing which she distanced herself from me, as if she has done something wrong.

“I am sorry sir, if I have done something wrong. Since I had no one else to call at that point so I bothered you”, she said all that just to avoid thinking of what I have said.

“Stacy, the next time I hear SIR from you, I swear to God that I will do something which you can never even think of. And whatever you have done is something I wanted you to do much before. And I feel you missed what I have just said. Can you be with me forever because I think I have …… I mean…… I care for you the way I have never done for anyone else. I feel something special and strange for you. I have never felt that way for anyone else!”

“But SIR!......” and the moment I heard that from her mouth, I dragged her to myself and pressed my lips on her immediately. She wasn’t responding, but I knew that I had to do that so as to make her understand that I am not here with her to maintain the official relation.

“I told you that the next time you call me with that, I will do something which you can never expect from me.” I explained myself for such behavior.

      She was blushing and was unable to make further eye contact with me. “Stacy, please look at me and answer me. I have asked you something. Please say YES.”

She was still looking at the floor and then I had no option except raising her face up towards me by placing my finger on her chin. “Stacy, are you ready to accept a relationship different from that of boss and PA one? Please answer me.”, I asked her again while looking straight into her eyes.

    She looked confused, blank and shocked at the same time. She herself did not know what to say. Rather, as per my understanding, she were unable to understand what was happening at that moment. “I don’t know what to say… I mean I wasn’t expecting this, at-least not from you! Are you really kidding me or have you ever thought about what you have just said?”, after saying these few lines, she again went silent and her silence was killing me at that time.

“Of course I am serious Stacy. How can you expect me to joke? I really feel something special and different when it comes to you. You have really been the different person from all others I have met. I myself don’t know what and how to give name to it but at-least we can start figuring it out together. Or may be let’s start with a small thing that only you can do. Can you please start calling me with my name? May be that will help you to think about something other than our official relation. I am sure it’s not a big thing for you to follow.”

“I will try, that’s all I can say right now. But I can’t promise because I have never ever thought this way for you. May be you are right that I was treating our relation to be just formal and couldn’t even understand when you happen to be my savior in my worst situation. But I will try to figure it out soon and I promise that I will give my 100% towards my efforts.” With her those words, I could feel some relief within and with that I embraced her in my arms and could feel her breaths on my body. “I am sure you will try and one day you will feel the same as the way I feel", my mind told me this.

“Alright, so let’s plan and cook the afternoon meal together and then may be after you take your medicines, we will talk about the press conference which I am planning to have soon.” I told her this to which she happily agreed.

        My big worry was over. And now I do not have to think much before dialing her number.My mind was relaxed and the same was reflectant on my body. I am happy to at-least open up my heart and put my feelings in words in front of her.
