Promise me

They were now sitting in his car just outside the building. He turned to Genevieve who looked so flushed. She fiddled with the hem of her dress. She could feel his eyes fixated on her, watching her every move. 

Then she heard him whisper "Genevieve" so softly making her stomach churn. She loved the way he called out her name, she loved the way it rolled off his tongue. Alluring and intoxicating.

"I care about you a lot"

Those words sent her pulse racing. He was now caressing her fingers with his thumbs, igniting the fire within her as her heart pounded carelessly against her ribcage.

"I-i don't K-know what to say" she said shyly, even she was surprised that she could speak. She stole a quick glance only to see him lean back on his seat and sigh.

"I'm sorry"

"No Genevieve" he leaned forward then held her face in his palms. "I understand. Okay?"

She nodded "it's, it's just..one minute you're my boss, now this"

She watched him silently as he closed his eyes for a few seconds then opened it "you know what, let's get you home"

* * 

The drive to her house was an awkward silence. She wished it wouldn't be. Every aspect was spent with her glancing at him from time to time. He would smile at her occasionally but she knew it wasn't sincere.

Was he mad at her?

Maybe a little. She was only trying to protect herself which wasn't wrong. 

"We're here"

She jolted out of her thoughts, not knowing when they arrived. 

"Thank you" she said slowly as she unstrapped the seatbelt then turned to leave when his arms pulled her back against his hard chest.

Daniel watched her unstrap her seatbelt. He couldn't imagine his world without her in it, he didn't care anymore, he loved her and she'd just have to accept it. So he shot out his arms and pulled her into him. He ignored her soft gasp, pushing her even closer till there was barely a hair's breath between them.

"Daniel" she sounded so breathless. He smirked in satisfaction, knowing the effect he had on her. Up close, her hands brushed over his thighs and she blushed, dropping her hands in a hurry. Daniel caught them, his intent clearly written in his piercing black eyes.

"I've never felt this way before, Genevieve. It's killing me" he groaned. He could hear her breath hitch for a second.

"I want you to promise me one thing"

She nodded quickly as she found herself lost in his gaze.

"I don't want you anywhere around that doctor" he kissed her forehead.

Genevieve swallowed "Gabriel? But he's been helpful"

She watched his eyes blaze slightly in anger but he soon shook it off, strolling his lips to hers. He pecked her briefly then whispered "promise me"

Her hands shook in his as she felt a burning sensation surge through her. She nodded quickly. He smiled then captured her lips in his, his hands unconciously left hers, advancing slowly to encircle her waist and wrap her legs around his waist but it seemed impossible due to the dress. 

Damn that dress! He mentally groaned.

"As gorgeous as you look in this dress but I'd so much prefer it gone" he whispered just below her lips.

She gasped at his words. He smirked, holding her face instead and kissing her silly, letting her know she belonged to him and no one else.

"Genevieve, are you there?" A voice threw them back in their seats. Genevieve panicked knowing it was her mum. She blushed as she sucked on her lips knowing it was definitely swollen. 

She turned to Daniel "i have to go now. Goodnight" she declared quickly not waiting a split second, she jumped out not wanting him to do more damage to her lips. She could hear his loud laughter even as he was already moving out of her property then he zoomed off into the streets.

She continued to suck on her lips, trying to erode every telltale sign as she slowly approached her mum.

"What were you doing in there?" Mrs Miller stood behind the front door, hands akimbo.

"Um. He was just explaining a few things-"

Her mum looked sceptical"oh really? In his car. Who's he if I may ask?" She asked in a reprimanding tone.

"Eh. Mr. Coker"

Genevieve watched as her mum softened a bit "hmm, but be careful Genevieve" Mrs miller said but Genevieve didn't miss the little smile on her mum's face instead.

Daniel couldn't stop the grin from invading his face as he advanced towards the bar Vincent owned.

"He's grinning. Hot date?" Vincent laughed, giving his cousin a side hug.

"Better"

"Ohh. Okay...hot sex?" 

"Vincent, come on, think outside the box. Your box" Daniel laughed, he sat on a barstool then faced the bartender.

"Tequila sir?"

"Nah. Whisky" Daniel replied.

"You didn't just say whisky. You never just order that unless something's up, something good" Vincent sounded surprised as he sat beside his cousin. "Whoever is working your pants. I want her, she must be damn good"

Daniel chuckled then he imagined Genevieve and Vincent, legs cuddled up atop silk sheets and he cringed, his possessive side kicking in, he soon felt his hands in a tight fist but he released them immediately.

"Come on Daniel, I share my ladies with you"

"I've found her"

"Her? What do you mean her?" Vincent gaped alarmingly at his cousin.

Daniel simply chuckled "do you remember the girl I told you about seven months again. She worked at Willie's place. Remember?"

"How could I possibly forget Daniel, you talked so much about her. I was already thinking you were loosing it man. Thank heavens you stopped"

"Did I mention she's my PA?"

"Hold up man, how come you never informed me, you searched for her or what? Dude, you're so fucking obsessed"

"She found me" Daniel grinned.

Wait, no wonder you didn't wait to kiss her that night. You're insane Daniel. So what's the plan?"

"What do you mean?"

"Get her laid of course. Or you already did? dude. Wicked! Now I understand that grin. You're the man!"

"You're unbelievable. I did no such thing"

"What! Then what are you waiting for? To get her to completely mess with your brain? Come on"

Daniel looked at him for a second. Vincent was someone who never believed in love, explaining to him would be like talking to a penguin.

He sighed "I'm in love with her"

Vincent laughed "I thought for a sec you said you were in love with her, man" Vincent laughed harder, hitting his fists on the counter then he turned to Daniel only to see a blank look, he cleared his throat then said "oh. You're serious. Wow! she got you, she got you bad"

Daniel chuckled "she's mine, Vincent, that's all that matters"

"Gosh! I think I'm gonna be sick"

Daniel laughed, soon Vincent joined.

* * *

Genevieve chewed on her lips, stirring in bed. Her mind, filled with the images of Daniel, his sudden confession. He knew her long before she did. The thought of him going to uncle Willie's place only to see her made her feel tingles down her spine.

She couldn't contain the emotions anymore, so she picked up her phone and dialled Kelvin's number. The phone rang for seemingly endless minutes. 

"He should be asleep" she concluded, knowing for a fact it was already past 12A.M, Kelvin would probably think she'd lost it. She drummed her fingers impatiently on the sheets, almost giving up when she heard a voice.

"Hello? Who the hell is this?!!" 
He sounded so maddened, but she noticed one thing. He was short of breath. Genevieve laughed, knowing she definitely disrupted something. A make out or more.

"It's Genevieve. Er..I know it's late and, and I shouldn't-"

"One fucking A.M! I said call me but not this late!!!" he cut her off, clearly not happy about the wrong timing.

Genevieve sighed, she should have waited till morning. "forget about it, Kelvin. I'll deal with it myself" 

She was about hanging up but his voice retracted her.

"Wait..." He said, his voice tinged with worry. She could hear rustling sounds from the other end and tiny bickers. She suddenly felt guilty.

"Is this about Daniel?" She heard him sigh.

"Yes" she answered silently.

"Tell me Genny, did he do anything? I promise to throttle him if he lays just a single paper cut on you"

Genevieve laughed "only if you don't chicken out"

"I won't, sooo?" He urged her.

She let out a sharp intake of air then rolled on her left, placing the phone properly against her ear.

"He said he cares about me Kelvin, I'm so scared. What if...what if he hurts me in the end"

"Gosh, Genny, stop the what ifs..how'd you know when you haven't even tried giving him a chance. From the beginning, I knew it was going to come to this. Look, he wouldn't spend this much of his time if he didn't want you"

"My mum said that"

"You see, your mum agrees. Genny, you love him, don't you?"

She thought for a second, did she? Love was something she'd never felt before.

"Well-"

"Don't even try to explain anything. It's a yes or no question" she could feel him roll his eyes.

"I don't know Kelvin"

"You're just too much. Girls would die to get him to glance at them but here you are. Are you that oblivious to what's around you?. I won't force you into anything. It's your life Genny, live it yourself" he paused then continued "now I've lost Tesha"

Genevieve felt a pang in her chest "oh my gosh, Kelvin, I'm so sorry"

Kelvin laughed "it's just a one night thing Genny, no strings attached. She'll come around, I'm sure of that. She couldn't stop moaning my name all night"

"Unbelievable!! Why did I come to you for an advice? You're obviously not the right candidate"

"So no thank you. You're-"

She hung up, rolling her eyes but she stopped, thinking about a certain man before gradually loosing to sleep.
