Chapter 23: Hints of Affair
It's already 12 am in midnight when I came back to our villa. But until now Sir Astrair didn't sleep because he's scared that I might leave him.
And I am not that stupid to leave a person sick. I just came here to get that medicine I brought.
When I came back to his villa, I saw him shaking from the cold weather.
I went closer to him and tap his face. He opened his eyes shortly then.
What the fuck came inside his head anyway. Why did he let himself under the rain for too long?
"You need to drink this. " I said and helped him get up from his bed. "Sleep with me. I'm cold. " He whispered and tried his best to pull me closer to him. "Okay. "I said and put down the glass of water under, beside the lamp.
I fixed the comforter to cover his body properly. But he's still shaking.
I hugged him tight making him relaxed a bit. I looked at his face, he's looking weak. I tsk.
"Sir, I think we should go back to Manila. You're burning. " I said
"N-no!" he said and buried his face on my neck.
I am caressing his hair from time to time just so he could sleep, but his trembling body didn't stop. His comforter didn't make him relaxed. I got even more worried.
If I wasn't wrong, its already 2 am but we're still in that situation. I didn't even sleep because I'm so worried. I am worried to the fact that the coldness he's feeling didn't subsided yet.
I sat on the bed and watch him sleep. He's still shaking but his fever went down at least.
"S-sir, you're cold. Please remove your clothes. "I whispered, he opened his eyes and frowned. I'm blushing right now, that sounded bad though. I can see a playful smile on his lips after. "You need to get warmer. " I said while pouting, I am even pulling out his shirt off him.
"H-how can I get warmer without my clothes off, Erza." He said and he sounded like he's on north pole.
"Aist! Stop asking. "I said and removed his t-shirt. I removed his shorts too, leaving only his boxers.
He's looking at me shocked and a little bit naughty. It seems like he can't believe that I'm doing this to him. Tss, for sure he will be the one enjoying this now.
I sit properly and removed my dress and panties.
I saw how his eyes widen from what I just did. He blinked many times and licked his lower lip. I can also see how his eyes sparkled.
I grabbed the comforter and lay on top of him. I can feel how hot his body temperature the moment our skin touched each other.
"Like it? " I whispered while hugging him really tight.
I can feel how hard he is right now. I can also feel how stiff it is from this position.
"Damn! I love it." he whispered and hugged me back.
It didn't take long for him to relaxed. Finally, his body temperature lowered even more.

I woke up when I feel that someone is kissing my forehead. When my sight darted on the window, I could see already the sun. We're still in that position, I got ashamed because I know the fact that I'm heavy. "Morning." he whispered that made me smile.
"Morning. "I answered.
I remember his fever so I placed my hand on his forehead and neck. When his temperature was normal, I sighed in relief.
"I need to go, before they notice that I am here. "I said and fixed myself. He didn't answer, but when I look at him, he's only staring at my bare chest.
He's staring at my bare chest intently that made me realize that I am very naked in front of his eyes. I grabbed the sheets immediately to cover up my body.
"You're really fine now, you're back at being perverted. "I said honestly.
He laughed and I pouted. I throw him a pillow. Hmmp, I wish I didn't take care of him then. Tsk wrong move.

I went back to our villa and I can feel the coldness of my team's treatment on me. They didn't greet me, and Mira is raising her eyebrows.
"Haaayyss in this generation there are really so many cases of the boss and employee affairs. " Mira said, it's also obvious that she's talking to me.
"Correct! So way back in high school, our teacher should've included the love affairs of boss and employee as one of the contemporary issues and they shouldn't only focus on poverty and politics." Lucy said this time. I wanted to roll my eyes on her. I just shrugged and continue doing my work.
"Tss, correct. I thought these things are only possible in novels and imaginations, never thought in real life this is possible. "Clara said. I can't believe she's talking like this now.
"And of course! Don't forget that some of the people out there doesn't know the value of having someone caring for them. Don't care about the people worried for them! " Mira added.
I didn't help myself but went to them and gave them a pinch one by one.
"What were you all talking about." I said.
"Ouch! Ouch! Miss!! " both Mira and Lucy shouted.
After that both of them pouted too. These girls tsk tsk.
"It's a fact though! It's not like Sir Astrair is already making you his live-in partner then you will already neglect the fact that were here waiting for you!" Lucy said and seconded by Mira.
"Stop talking like that. Sir Astrair was sick yesterday. " I said.
Mira made face. "Then how about that time when he's not sick yet?" she said.
I glared at her because of her stupid question. Well, that kind of critical I don't know what to answer.
Well, they are way older than me. So maybe they are more experienced about these things.
"Mira, Lucy, Clara. Can we just work? Don't mind me. "I said that made them look so disappointed.
"Miss, don't you trust us? Why does it seem like you don't want us to know anything about you? We know the fact that both of you and Sir Astrair were in a relationship, but why are you keep on saying no?" Lucy said disappointedly. "Sharing something is not a sin, Erza. Tell us, we've been through for almost five years yet you can't even trust us. There's nothing wrong in sharing, why not? Maybe we can help you with something." Clara said like a big sister. I immediately feel down. Am I really that selfish?
"I'm sorry guys, but I really don't have anything to share." Her face immediately dropped.
"Nothing? How about the things you do at night with him? " Mira said with lower voice, it seems like she's gossiping.
I rolled my eyes on her, this girl is really something. "Your mouth, Mira. " I said but I didn't helped but blush.
"Yiieee then why are you blushing?" She asked. I covered my face immediately.
"What!" And glared at her.
"Bwahahaha! Miss, you're not virgin anymore right?" She asked again.
I really want to cover her mouth with duct tape so she can't say anything already. Her voice is too loud for Pete's sake. "YOUR MOUTH MIRA! " I warned her.
She covered it and giggled. "But Miss It's true right?" She said and it seems like she's very excited.
"Tss!" I only said, but I can really feel that my cheeks were burning in shame.
"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!" they screamed.
I only shook my head. I didn't even say anything yet, but it seems like they already concluded something in their heads.

After many days, Sir Astrair's strength went back to normal. I often see him and Emerald but I know it's only for work. They both are working with the same project as team, so they really need to work with each other. We are also busy because we are on furnishing the designs because the exteriors have errors.
Sir Al is busy going back to the City from time to time too because he needs to monitor the GFC.
Me and my team were now getting serious with our works because our time of rest is over. We have to do our best.
We are now adjusting to the island life we have here because we've been here for almost half a month now.
"Miss, Sir Astrair is asking for your presence. " Kara said, one of the secretaries.
I frowned. Why would he call me in the middle of work hours?
I didn't ask anything again and just follow her.
I went to the office but he's not there. When I asked his personal secretary, she said he's there at the river to have a bath.
I frowned again. What? He called me to be here but when I'm here he'll go and took a bath? What is this? Is he playing with me?
I am finding him now; I went to the falls because maybe he's there.
When I reached there, I see no one. Now this is getting abnormal, I really hate pranks, it's making my blood boil in so much anger.
Can't he see that I'm busy? I'm fucking busy for Pete's sake and he's playing with me!
I was about to turn my back to leave, but seeing the fresh water again made me want to swim for a little bit. Well, I still have time, right?
I removed my clothes and jump in the water.
Ugh, I really love the freshness of the water. I really love it, this is so good. But I was so shocked when something grabbed me down below. I am so nervous and scared.
But when I felt a hand snaking on my body, I then realized that it was Astrair.
His smirking face is making my heart beat faster.
I only realized this time that I missed him so much.
We get off the water and then talk.
"Damn. I missed you. " he said and kissed me.
I blinked many times and just look at his lips. It was red and inviting.
"I really want to fire you from your job. It's torturing me, damn it." He whispered and kissed me again.
