Taming Mr. CEO

The following days have become a total paradise not just for me but also for Aisle. Everything felt surreal. Logan decided to extend our stay in the beach resort of his friend for three days more. At first, I wanted to disagree but when I saw how Aisle is enjoying our not-so-long vacation, I ended up agreeing on what Logan wants. Perhaps, having a vacation wasn’t that bad?

Now, we are on the shore. We decided to get a good dip in the water which we just did earlier. We are now having our beach lunch under the tent. I was busy grilling pork while Logan on beside me is teaching Aisle how to grill hotdogs on a stick while he was carrying her in his arms. They were turning their back on me so I am free to stare at them without knowing it. It made my lips stretch for a genuine smile as I am happily watching them having some bonds. To be honest, the smile never left my lips to the point that my jaw almost hurt. Earlier, when Logan is teaching Aisle how to swim, I am there, sitting at the sand while watching them.

That’s when I also noticed good father Logan is to Aisle. I mean, he wasn’t bad at her even on me-sometimes rude or snob. But if it’s about being a father to Aisle, there is nothing I can say. He gave what Aisle needed, what Aisle wanted. He provided her all and do his best just to make her smile and be happy.

“Are you done?” Logan came and approach me while holding a disposable plate. He snatched the tongs on me and turned over the pork belly I am grilling. “Aisle is already eating, you should too. I’ll handle this,” he added.

I glanced at Aisle on the table and found out that she is. Ketchup is all over her little hand while dipping her hotdogs on the ketchup after every bite. I tsk and approach her after grabbing a towel to wipe off the mess in her.

“You eat too messy, baby,” I commented. She just answered me with her giggles and then continued to eat her food. Later on, Logan joined us too at the table and together we eat our lunch.

After having lunch on the beach, we headed back to our room to take a bath and take a rest as well. Aisle and Logan, after a shower, instantly fell asleep together. I even took a picture of them while sleeping as they are in a very cute position. Aisle is resting on Logan’s chest, while Logan on the other hand is covering his eyes with his arms as the other one is hugging Aisle. After taking a quick picture, I tried to sleep as well but to no avail, I didn’t. So I ended up jumping off my bed and stepping outside our room. I decided to take a walk instead or just grabbed a seasoned juice in the lobby. But I ended up in a cafe, having my favorite slice of cake.

In the middle of my alone time, I suddenly lifted my eyes to the figure who stood in front of my table. My brows instantly furrowed as I saw a man whom I didn’t know. He was wearing a polo shirt and khaki shorts with sunglasses on his head. He then smiled at me before sitting on the vacant seat in front of me with my consent. Offended by what he did, I instantly left my table and stepped outside the cafe. However, just when I am about to enter back the hotel lobby, someone grabbed my hand forcefully which made me stopped from walking.

“Hey, no one’s dismissing me like that.” I gaped as I saw the arrogant man who ruined my peaceful time inside the cafe earlier.

“Let go of me, Mister. Let go of my hand!” I tried so hard to pull out my hand from him but he just tightened his grip which sent me pain in my wrist. “I said let go!” I shouted, there were some people already noticing us but it seems like he doesn’t care.

“Come on, don’t be so trying hard to get. I know you also want my company.” Summoning my strength, I flew my palm right on his cheek made boiling mad.

He then locked his eyes on me, clenching his jaw as he slightly massage it. I gulped upon seeing his dangerous look. “Did you just slap my pretty face?” he asked, gritting his teeth afterward and when I was about to draw distance between us, he easily grabbed me again.

I struggled again and when I tried to kick him off, he threw on the floor. In my shock, I instantly run on the man who did that to him and sob on his chest.

“Get your f*cking ass out of here, you sh*thead!” Logan growled before wrapping his arms around me and guiding me to the elevator. When we stepped inside, he then turned on me with his deadly glares. “Why did you leave alone? You should have stayed in our room, Alice!” he scolded making me speechless until we reach our room.

“Did he hurt you?” he inquired, holding my chin and scanning my face. I burst his hand away and hugged him instead as an answer. That jerk did hurt me but I can endure the pain so I can prevent Logan from doing anything that might hurt him.

“I’m sorry… for I left alone. I just go on a walk, I didn’t know that this will happen… I’m sorry.”

“No need.” He rubbed my back and caressed my hair. “Just don’t do it again. If you want to go on a walk next time, you should ask me so I can accompany you. Understand?” He looked me down and I just nodded as an answer.

Today was our last day staying in the hotel and for the past few days, nothing really happened except that as the days passed, happiness between the three of us grow even more. I can’t even contain the happiness I am feeling to the point that last night, I burst out crying out of nowhere. Logan even asked me why but I chose to hide the reason as I am afraid that he may think that I am just overreacting. I just lied to him last night when he saw me crying while he was hugging me from behind. Yeah, he was literally hugging me from behind since that night he offered me his cuddle. I don’t know if I was the one who like it-love it, rather-or it was him, who wants the idea of hugging me while sleeping.

“Mommy, where are we going home? I’ve been absent in school for two days,” Aisle complained while I am tying up her hair into piggy tails.

I glanced at her through the mirror and smiled. “Aren’t you enjoying our stay here?” I asked because if I were to ask, I would love the idea of staying here a bit longer. Two to three days will do, lol.

“I like to be here, Mommy… but what if my teacher is already finding me?” I was about to answer when Logan came out from the bathroom drying his hair. He then walked over to us and then snatched Aisle away from my lap.

“Don’t worry, your teacher won’t be mad at you, baby. Daddy already talked to her and ask for her permission. Anyway, tomorrow, we will be going home so you have nothing to worry about.” Then he kissed Aisle on both of her cheeks before he placed her back on my lap and walked over the cabinet to get his clothes.

Exactly after thirty minutes, we are all done and ready for our last day here in the resort. Logan already told me that he booked a boat ride so we can get a night camp on the other island. Carrying a backpack with lots of food inside, we headed to the boat which is waiting for us. Logan first settled Aisle in her seat before turning back on me and guiding me to climb. Because the bag I am carrying is a little bit heavy, as soon as I stepped on the edge of the boat, I almost lost my balance. Thankfully, Logan was fast enough to put me steady again.

“Careful.” He territorially snaked his arm on my waist as we walked on to Aisle’s place. As soon as we took our seats, Logan signaled the banker to start our trip.

And less than an hour, we arrived on an island that was tantalizing and breathtaking with its white sand and the paradise looking of it.

“Like it?” I looked Logan up which made me meet his eyes staring deep on me. I nodded as an answer before I reached for Aisle’s hand and walked first on the tent that is already built when we arrived. When I looked back at Logan, I saw him already talking to the banker before it left. Logan then followed us on the tent and changed his clothes into sleeveless and then he started to gather some dried branches of trees to make it our source of light for the night that is nearing.

Night came and we are already sitting around the bonfire Logan created. With a stick stretched on the top of the fire, we are happily grilling some hotdogs with marshmallows on them which are instantly loved by Aisle. She even consumed about two sticks already and now I am preparing her third stick. Logan on the other hand was grilling his hotdogs as well while gradually sipping on his beer car. We just stayed like that until Aisle fell asleep so I needed to transfer her inside the tent. After settling her inside, I came back outside and stood just beside Logan.

Looking at him down, I asked, “Are you staying for longer?” He lifted his eyes on me and then shrugged.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I’ll just finish my beer and then I’ll go inside too. Go ahead, you can sleep now.” Saying without any word, I walked back inside and laid beside Aisle after covering a thick blanket. But because I am still not sleepy, I chose to browse on my phone instead.

Since I haven’t used my phone for three days, as soon as I turned it on, lots of messages from Lyndon and Helena bombed me. I replied first to Helena’s messages and then was about to send a message to Lyndon when Logan came inside. His eyes quickly settled on my phone so leaving without choice, I turned it off again and then put it back in my bag.

“Who are you texting to?” Logan suddenly asked while we are now laying together. Again, he was behind me-arm stretched forward, hugging me as well as Aisle.

“Helena and…” I trailed when I remember how his mood is suddenly changing when I am talking about his brother, Lyndon. “Uhm… Helena,” I added.

“You’re lying,” he commented before burying his face on my nape. “It wasn’t just Helena, right? Is it Lyndon?” I bit the bottom of my lips when he caught me lying.

“He’s just asking if where is Aisle and us, that’s all.”

“Then why do you have to hide it? Come on, Alice. Tell me that nothing is going on between you and my brother? Tell me…” He bit my skin sexily which almost made me let out a moan.

Controlling my breath, I replied, “I told you many times, Logan… nothing…”

I heard him chuckled before pulling me closer to him making the warmth coming from him double. “It’s good to know… very good to know. And please, don’t you ever reply to his messages. We are on a family vacation, no one is allowed to ruined our bondings together.”

“Fine…” I started to grip on his hand when it started to mischievously cup my right breast. “Logan… stop… oh my God…” I panted when his other hand took it access on my fold and then started to gently rubbing it until I lost my sanity again.
