    Michael



"Michael? Michael?" I heard  someone call from afar and the distinct of a knock on the door. I was too cosy with the warmth that enveloped me at this instance to care. I didn't reply. The knocking persisted then I heard my door open. I didn't even have time to collect my thought before I heard him blabbering.

"Dude, you passed out or what? I've been at your door for over 15minutes now."

I groaned before cracking an eye open, then and squinted to get my vision focused. "Gimme five minutes. I don't have decent chambers." I said holding my forehead as i sat up straight slowly. I felt stirring at my site and froze.

Right. I had spent the night with her.

That sounded kind of obscene but we really didn't do anything.

"The big man is here and we need to..." He stopped when she finally came out of the covers a little disheveled and sat up rubbing her eyes.

"God Nate are you always this loud in the morning?"she said groggily, her words slightly slurred because of her still drowsy state.

Nate's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Damn! You guys didn't waste time. Just got to it while I was away, hmm?" He said with a smirk.

Her eyes scanned the environment before landing on me beside her and her attire. Eyes widening in shock, she immediately pulled the covers back over her.

Damn she looked beautiful even in her bed state.

I hadn't really taken notice of what she wore last night since it was dark, but now, her attire made it even more difficult to turn away from her.

Then I realized I was staring for way too long to be comfortable and turned away reddening a little.

Get a grip Donovan. I chastised myself. Thank goodness it didn't get down because that had be hard to manage or hide from her

Is that why she turned away and covered herself? And I was a little disappointed she did. Not because I'm a pervert and wanted to see her exposed skin, but because she was absolutely stunning and shouldn't be ashamed of showing her body. 

She immediately jumped out of bed with the sheets still wrapped around her and scurried out of the room as though running from a plague.

I sighed when Nate looked at me with an arched brow with the expression 'care to explain?'

"I'll meet you down in 10." was all I said.

"Well I guess a lot transpired in my absence but being as secretive as you are, it will be a waste of breathe to ask for an explanation." Nate said sarcastically as we took seats on the stool of the island table in the kitchen.

"Damn straight because nothing happened." I replied bored

"Dude. You tell me you slept with her like that and all up in your bed and personal space and nothing happened between you two? come on." He looked at me quizzically.

"Yes Nathaniel nothing happened because it's not man's brain with a bigger portion being ruled by his dick." I retorted. "What happened that you wanted me up so early?"

He scoffed shaking his head muttering something in Italian under his breathe. Quite honestly, my mind was not on full work so I didn't have the luxury to assimilate his words into a coherent phrase. Aisha then sauntered into the kitchen with a long sleeved grey satin robe which ended few centimetres above her knee, over her her pyjamas. Muttering a good morning to us. I was slightly disappointed by the fact she had covered up more but she was just the perfect picture of the girlfriend or wife at home look in the morning.

What was I even saying?

"Mr Al Hamaad is back. And he wants to see you this morning. To get things started." he replied more seriously.

"Just me? And why so early?" I asked

"I don't know man. The message is from Kadri. I'm just relaying it."he shrugged with both hands raised.

"I'll make pancakes and coffee for breakfast before you leave." She announced and we both nodded as took out the utensils and ingredients to start working.

Few minutes later we were cooped up eating in silence. I had to admit her pancakes were really good: they were not too sweet and they were made like rolls stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, some legumes and other stuff. To be honest I was kind of skeptical at first with all the load in one meal but the overall presentation and taste had me asking for more. Then the coffee: creamer, milk and sugar- absolutely exquisite.

"Hmm." Nate moaned."...you should come live with me and make breakfast every morning 'cause this is mind blowing - totally foodgasm."

"I'm glad you like it." She said with a smile.

"I'm jealous of your roommates right now."he said.

"I'll tell them about that." She replied.  "Um.. Michael is it ok?" She asked.

I was taken out of my trance and looked up into her eyes. I was totally transported by her culinary skills that I had zoned out."um.. Oh yeah, it's excellent."

She smiled shyly and returned to her meal. This woman was perfection in flesh. I couldn't find any better ... Not with anyone else.

I looked across the table and caught a smirk on Nate's face with a smug look. I frowned and look away getting flustered.

"You mite hurry up so we could meet Mr Al Hamaad sooner." Nate said that same annoying smirk on his lips.

"You right." I replied pushing away my plate and finishing my coffee. "Just keep the rest away. I'll get it back when I return." I said putting my leftover in a container then placed it in the fridge and rushed into elevator.

"Hey I'm using that too don't leave me here." Nate hollered jogging after me.







********************************************************










We were led by one of the employees to the other side of the hotel on the top floor where Mr Al Hamaad's office was. I just wish we could get through this fast because I wasn't holding in much longer when it came to Aisha and I'm worried she mite have noticed it too. I felt like I had burst at my seams with all the pent up emotions. Can you believe that: me the great Michael Jonathan Donovan who never believed in love was falling for her. I guess it's not that easy to run away from her natural charms. I couldn't harbor this feelings anymore because either ways, it had end in a shit show - reason why I need to get this deals done with so I can go back to my normal perfect bachelor's life. This wasn't me and I needed my normal back because my sanity depended on it.

We were met with huge mahogany doors wide open with pots of miniature palm plants in them on either side of the doors leading into a huge room with people moving about busily moving one thing or another. I could hear the distinct voice of Mr All Hamaad as he spoke in Arabic throwing orders to the employees. A large chandelier hung from the ceiling, large almost floor to ceiling windows, and the room was decorated with Moroccan furniture with lounge chairs, red velvet cushions, scented candles, plants in pots here and there and  on each mini table by the chairs, where a basket filled with exotic fruits. He was sat at the far end on traditionally decorated chair. This was like walking into story book.

"Sir Hamaad... Your guest Mr Donovan and his partner Mr Di Maggio." The man who led us here, I assumed to be the butler announced.

"Oh Donovan!" He said standing up from his throne like chair to receive us.  "Never told me your companion had be male." He said "please sit."

Our faces scrunched up at the implication of his statement as Nate and I exchanged a look.

"Oh no Mr Al Hamaad. You're mistaken. He's definitely not my companion." I replied

"I can assure you about that." Nate reaffirmed.

Yea..... even if I had to be gay, my companion would definitely not be Nathan.

"My companion is most definitely female and she's in our suite resting."  I guess. "This is my most trusted friend and business partner, Nathaniel Di Maggio. He'll be helping with certain affairs."

"I see." He chuckled "Glad to meet you Nathaniel."he extended his hand in greeting, to which Nate received bowing

"It's an honour deal with you Mr Al Hammad."

"So.." He turned back to me "when will I be meeting her? Tonight I hope. I'm sure my Kadri told you about the gala?"

"Yes he did. And sure you will meet her tonight sir."

"Very well then... Burhan." He called out and a man ran up to him. "Get me Kadri let's start business." He said and the man immediately disappeared "This way gentlemen." He said leading us.
