Chapter 16: Missed Me, Baby?
Abigail
“Abigail!” A deep voice caught our attention and the boys stopped immediately.
I looked up at Luciano, he was wearing his usual outfit, an expensive suit. I was standing at the edge and he looked down at me, I raised my eyebrows at his aggressive tone.
“Yes?” I succeeded in sounding uninterested, it bugged him and I saw it.
He threw a glance to the boys behind me that were now talking amongst themselves.
“Who are those boys?” He emphasized on boys and a hint of jealousy was hidden in his voice.
I chuckled at his attempt to make them seem smaller than they were. All three of them were very good looking young men, muscular bodies and handsome features. But I couldn't help but unconsciously agree with him. Compared to Luciano Adams's manly and rough charisma, they were boys. However, I would never let Luciano know what I thought. I turned and watched as they spoke and laughed in the water, a smile made its way to my face.
“They are my dear friends.” I replied and when I met his eyes, he had a firm and straight expression on his handsome face with his brows slightly furrowed.
“Hmmm, where is your father? I am supposed to have a business lunch with him.” He said and acted like nothing had happened between us, it annoyed me but I put on an act.
I put my arms up on the edge, innocently and looked up at him. I saw his eyes dart down to my pushed up chest and I smirked.
“Go to his office, if he is not there, then I don't know where he is.” I said and turned around to accompany my friends again.
I heard him growl behind me but I ignored it when I reached them, I looked behind my shoulder and saw him still watching me with his arms crossed. His sharp jaw was clenched and I decided to anger him more and walked up to Gideon. I threw my arms around his neck and whispered something in his ear. It wasn't dirty words or seductive ones, only words that made him let out a beautiful laugh. The whole time, I had my body pressed against his and my mouth next to his ear and I kept eye contact with Luciano.
You could basically see the vein popping on his neck and fumes out of his ears. I smiled at him and then turned my back to him, still my arms around Gideon's neck. If he wants to play, then game on.

I turned my head to watch the mass of people we drove by and the shop window that displayed everything from clothes to shoes. My father and I were heading to his office, once in a while, I accompanied him especially during the summer because I had nothing better to do other than partying and getting drunk but I enjoyed my father's company. He was very good at whatever he did and I was happy to see him getting the credit and respect he deserved as a CEO.
We walked out of the car, our private chauffeur wished us a good day and I smiled at him. I closed the door behind me and tilted my head up to be able to see the huge building. It was in the middle of the city and I heard the heavy traffic behind me. My father put his arm around my shoulder and we started walking towards the entrance. I was kind of nervous for today, he told me this morning that he had a surprise for me that he thought I would be happy about. I hadn't been able to stop thinking about it, wondering what it was.
“Good morning, sir. Good morning, Abigail and welcome back.” The receptionist said as we passed her, going into the elevator. I smiled at her.
“Thank you,” I said and watched my father press the button for the elevator and then he turned to me.
“Honey, I have a meeting to attend to but I want you to walk to my office. It won't take long, an hour or two.” He smiled at me apologetically.
“It is fine, father.” He kissed my cheek before walking away, probably going to the cafe ro grab a coffee. I had gotten my addiction from him.
I stood in his big office, looking out on the city from his window. I was too caught up in my thoughts to hear the door close and to feel the presence behind me.
“Missed me, baby?” I jumped at the voice, I turned around and was met with someone I thought I had never seen again.
“Michael, w.. what are you doing here?” I asked, a smile coated my face as I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck, he hugged me back. He put a gentle kiss on my neck before releasing my body and it made tiny butterflies erupt inside me.
“I couldn't stay in France for too long and I missed my favorite little girl.” His beautiful smile almost gave me goosebumps.
Michael was five years older than me and when he worked for my father, he and I kind of had a thing. Basically, it was just sex but we both were sad when he had to move back to France to take care of his sick mother. I hadn't seen him in two years and I know, I was young when it started. But Micheal wasn't just anyone, he was one of my favorite people, the sex was just a bonus.
“I missed you too, Michael.” I pulled him in for another hug, I had to stand on my toes even though I was wearing heels to reach around his neck.
“I see you have already met your surprise.” We pulled away at the sound of my father's voice.
“This was your doing.” He smiled proudly.
“Of course, I knew how close you two were and I wanted to surprise you.”
Michael and I exchanged a look, the corner of his lips was turned up into a small smirk. My father never knew of our relationship, we thought it was unnecessary as we wanted it to be something between just the two of us.
“Do you two want to head down to the cafe? I am craving a coffee but have too much work to do.” He sighed as he walked to sit behind his desk.
“Of course, no problem.” Michael said and practically pushed me out of the office.
He closed the door behind us and then led me to the elevator. As I walked in, he put his hand on my lower back, making me tense a little. I never had feelings for him, it was mainly physical but he always made my body respond in a certain way.
After getting our orders, we walked out of the cafe with the cups in our hands. We laughed and talked catching up, it was nice seeing him again after so long. It felt good and familiar.
