Phillip:


"Phillip?!" Cheryl looks up from the dough she's pounding on the kitchen counter as I peek my head through the doorway.
"What are you doing home by this time?" She asks as I make my way to her. There's dry flour in her hair and face. She's completely adorable as she takes her flour covered hands up to wipe her face when she notices me staring. She only makes the mess worse and I chuckle lightly.
"You look yummy." I say as my hand goes to her face to wipe the flour on her cheek . I take the finger to my mouth and suck on it. I see her eyes flare at my action.
"Yum! I think the direct source would be just as delicious. What do you think?" I ask.
"Why don't you check for yourself." She bats her lashes at me coyly. Gosh, she's adorable. I take a step forward and she backs away from me.
"You shouldn't try to escape me. Ever." I take another step and she takes another back.
"Maybe I just want you to chase me." She says, she's completely breathless. I can see her pulse beating in her throat.
"I'll catch you. I always will." I take a big step this time, completely caging her in as my hands go up to the wall.
"Caught you." I whisper as my eyes linger on her lips.
"Take your reward then." She tilts her head at the right angle and I'm on her in seconds. I drop my hand to her waist and push her against my chest firmly.
"These lips

. My addiction." I whisper against her lips as I kiss every inch of her mouth. I can't seem to get enough.
"This body. My addiction." She whispers back and with a huff, she completely jumps me and wraps her legs around my waist. The kiss goes from sweet and soft to hard and hungry. I swallow every one of her moans as I carry us both to the kitchen counter.
"Don't stop." She whispers into my mouth as she holds on tight. I plan to do just that but my phone as another idea of its own. It starts ringing in my pocket.
"Ignore it." Cheryl says softly. I look from her to the phone I've pulled out of my pocket. This call is important.
"Just a minute." I peck her lips quickly before moving away from her to get the call.
"Have you gotten what I asked you?" I say without greeting.
"Yes Sir. It's a bit on the pricey side but I was able to get a good deal."
"Good. And the keys?" I ask.
"Left it inside the window ledge like you instructed." He says and I nod.
"Nice work. I'll meet you at the office in a few hours." I say and end the call.
"Was that so important that you left me?" I turn around to face a frowning Cheryl. I eye her clothes and face and shake my head.
"This won't do." I muse.
"What?" She looks down at her self and back to me.
"Change into something else first." I take her hand and pull her with me towards her room.
"Why? Are we going somewhere?" She asks as I pull her door open and lead her inside.
"Yeah. We are. Wash your face. There's no time for you to have a bath." I instruct.
"Why? Where are we going?" She takes her top off and I take that as my sign to give her privacy.
"You'll see when we get there. It's a surprise. Wear something comfortable. Jeans will be fine." I say as I walk out of the room leaving her to do her thing.

Cheryl:

"Where are we going?" I ask for the hundredth time. Phillip just smiles as he navigates my car into a busy street. We stop behind a sports car and he alights.
"Come on. You'll like this." He opens my door for me and offers me his hand. I take it and get out of the car.
"You see that building across the road? That's where I work." He points to a white house.
"You brought me to your office?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"Come." He takes my shoulder and turn me around to a small shop made of glass. I can see everything inside the shop from out here. It's mostly empty.
"What are we doing here, Phillip?" I ask him again.
"Let's go inside." He takes my hand and leads me  to the side of the building which isn't made of glass except the window. Phillip pulls the window up and retrieves a key. I stay quiet and let him lead me out front to open the doors for both of us. I walk behind him and study the interior of the small space. There's an empty glass display on a long counter and some buckets of paints at the corner of the room.
"Do you want to check the back? That's where your kitchen will be. We can...."
"Wait. My kitchen?" I cut him off. He nods and takes my hand again.
"You want me to buy this. As a house?" I follow him to the back and he pulls the wooden door open to a huge space.
"Not a house. It's your very own Cafe. I bought it from the last owner. She was a chef like you and..."
"You bought me a Cafe?!" I exclaim, my mouth hitting the floor. Is he kidding?
"I thought maybe you'll want your own. You're so good with all those baked goodies. I thought... You don't like it?" His face falls and I shake my head vehemently at him.
"This...This is... Amazing." Tears sting my ears as I look around. Now I'm seeing the place in another light.
"You like it?" Phillip's voice is small and unsure. I lunge myself at him and hug him to myself. I can't help it, the happy tears fall.
"It's perfect. You're perfect." I sob into his chest. His hand comes around me and we remain like this for a while until I have no more tears to shed.
"I can't believe I didn't think of this. Well I did but I just didn't know where to start. This is just perfect." I pull away from him and spin around the room.
"The area is great too. A lot of people go by this area so customers shouldn't be hard to find. I'll make sure my company purchase from you as well." Phillip says from behind me.
"God, Phillip! What am I going to do without you?" I turn to him.
"I love this. Thank you so much. Don't worry I'll pay back everything you've spent. How much is it anyways?" I ask excitedly.
"Shhhh. It's a gift. I get to have free food here right?" He grins crookedly at me.
"Oh you'll have to pay. I'll go bankrupt in weeks if I let you leech off my Cafe." I tease and he fake growls.
"You greedy greedy woman!" He makes a grab for me and I let him catch me.
"You caught me." I sigh as I turn my back to him and let his hand wrap around my waist from behind.
"Always." He whispers in my ear. God do I love this man?
"I plan to take two days off work so the both of us can get this place in order."
"Really?! You're off for the next two days?" I turn around to face him. He's smiling and nodding.
"Don't get any ideas." He places a soft kiss against both corners of my lips before winking.
"I'm not getting any ideas!" I smirk.
"All we are going to be doing is packing the things you'll need from the house, we'll paint. Arrange. Clean. Get furnitures. Wares." He lists every one of these words with soft kisses to my forehead, eyebrows, cheeks  and settle on my lips.
"You should take that." I pull away from his kiss when his phone wouldn't stop ringing.
"This better be important." He grunts as he lets me go and take the call.
"What is it?!" I nearly laugh at the irritation for being interrupted in his voice but when his eyes harden and I see him tense, I touch his shoulders lightly.
"Don't leave the office. I'll be there right now." He grinds into the phone before ending the call. I can see his shoulders heave up and down in silent anger.
"What's wrong?" I turn him to face me. His eyes are clenched shut for a few moments before he opens them to stare into my face.
"I have to go back to the office." He takes my hand and pull me closer before dropping his head on my shoulder. I don't know what's going on but I rub his back to try and make him feel better. We remain like this for a few minutes before he stands up straighter.
"You'll have to wait for me at the office for a while. Can you do that? I don't want to let you go home by yourself." He squeezes my hand in his and I nod.
"Of course. Let's go." It's my turn to lead him. He already pointed his office just across the road to me.
"Thank God you're here. It's a sh*tstorm, Phillip. He just called and said he's pulling out all his shares. We spent a lot of money to get this deal with him. And there was a call from Kenya for you. Are we closing down? I have five kids and..."
"That's enough!" Phillip shut the older man's blabbering.
"I'm...I'm sorry. It's just everyone is panicking." The man lowers his eyes. I look around the office to see a handful of people looking worried. Some are talking in hush tones.
"Can you sit here baby?. I'll try to be quick." Phillip points to a chair.
"Go. Do your thing. I'll be fine here." I wave him off.
"Come with me." He says to the man and walks on into another office.
 Everyone is quiet but I can feel them watching me while they pretend to work. I sit awkwardly for a few minutes before I can't take the silence anymore.
"Umm... Where can I find the ladies room." I stand and gesture around the office. The youngest guy in the group eyes me up and down before pointing to a small door I did not notice till now.
"It leads to the back of the building. You should find the toilet easily." He says coldly.

. I feel like I did something wrong to this people.
"Thank you." I mutter and quickly take the door out of the office.
 I find the toilet in no time but stop at the door when I hear female voices inside. Should I go in? My decision is made for me when I hear Phillip's name being mentioned. My hand remain on the doorknob but I don't turn it open.
"That's enough stop crying." I hear from inside then over the top sniffing.
"They couldn't have given us a decent man to help the company? I knew that Phillip was bad news when he came here yelling at everyone!" I press my ear to the door to listen better.
"Shhhh! You're going to get fired."
"Fired?! The company is ruined. Did you see the pictures? He should have just stripped the woman naked in broad daylight!" The hysterical woman fires and I freeze. A picture of Phillip?
"I heard that's the reason he was kicked out of the Kenya branch and thrown back to the country. Apparently, he slept with a client's wife!" I gasp at this but slip a hand over my mouth.
"Listen, the woman he was with is actually the daughter of our biggest client. The man is shameless." My hand slips on the doorknob and the door flies open. Sh*t! I straighten up to come face to face with two women. I see recognition hit them and one of them gasp.
"Hi. I'll just use the toilet." I wave awkwardly and walk around them to get into one of the toilet stall with my heart in my stomach. I hear the door slam close and I plop down on the toilet seat.
 This isn't right.
