The Chance He’s Been Waiting For
Kelly’s POV
Yara kept on looking at me and Klay alternatively. Her lips were curved into a playful smirk and her eyes were judging and teasing me. I feel like I’m about to pass out in embarrassment so I walked towards Klay and grabbed his wrist. Without saying anything, I dragged him to my office and locked the door. My heart was racing and I felt like I ran a mile because of what happened.
My employees will surely tease me because of Klay. Why did he even announce that he wants to date me? Argh!
I looked at Klay in disbelief when I heard his soft chuckle.
“What?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I faced him.
He smirked, “Why did you lock the door? They’ll think we’re gonna make you-
I covered his mouth with my palm and frowned. I was about to ask why he came here when he suddenly took a single step closer, caging me between his body and the locked door. I swallowed hard and was about to escape when he pressed both of palms against the door as his face leaned down and closer.
“W–What are you doing?” I asked with trembling lips as I stopped him from leaning further by putting my palms against his chest.
I felt like I was burned by the sudden contact but I couldn’t take my hands off of his chest. He stared into my eyes so intensely that I immediately felt anxious.
“I’m asking you, Klay. Why did you come here?”
“Because…” he trailed off and tilted his head. “I missed you.”
I squeezed my eyes closed and swallowed hard when his breath brushed against my cheek. I didn’t realize he was so near. His breath smells like a mint and I liked it. His warm breath reminded me of the night we shared and here I am again, feeling so weak and at his mercy.
“Open your eyes, babe. Let me see your eyes when I tell you that I miss you.”
I immediately shook my head and met his eyes, “You shouldn’t act like this just

because something happened between us, Klay.”
“Acting like what? Something really happened and I want to remember every single detail of that night.”
My cheeks burned and I felt my heart racing. I took a deep breath as I tried to catch my breath and look into his eyes.
“It was just a one night stand, Klay. It was nothing special. And if you’re
thinking that you can make me a replacement for Emily, you should think again because I won’t be your bed warmer.”
I thought he’d get mad but he didn’t. Instead he chuckled like a madman, making my eyebrows furrow.
He looked at me with amusement dancing in his eyes. His lips were curved into a devilish grin, confusing me even more.
“Are you jealous?” he asked shamelessly
My eyes widened. “What? Are you c
crazy?”
“Then, why do you sound angry?” He asked again and crossed his arms.
“I’m not!” I growled at him and looked away. “It’s just….I don’t wanna be a replacement. And I don’t wanna share…”
I walked past him and walked towards the couch while nervous. I sat on the single couch and crossed my arms and legs as I looked at him again. He was staring at my face. He shot an eyebrow up as the corner of his lips rose into a
I couldn’t help but catch my breath because my heart has been beating so fast and it’s making me breathless. He kissed me. He just kissed me. Oh my God! It was just a peck but it made my whole body shiver. I felt like he awakened my body just because of a peck. I feel pathetic for feeling this way.
“How many times do I have to tell you that nothing going on between us is wrong, Kelly? I’m willing to prove to you that nothing about these is wrong. Your just have to give me a chance to prove to you that I can change your
perspective about us. I can make you see me as a man not your step brother. Just let me…

I was lost for words as I was slowly drowning in the emotions in his eyes. He was looking straight into my eyes as if he could see my soul. I don’t know what to do. Everytime he finds a reason to make me believe in his words, I feel like he’s slowly dragging me to a hole where the end is uncertain. It’s making me anticipate what will happen, but I’m also scared of taking a risk. I feel like in the end, I will be the one getting hurt again.
My mind fell into chaos when I realized he just glanced at my lips and his face. was moving closer inch by inch.
His were just an inch away from mine when someone knocked on the door, followed by Yara’s voice. I was saved but I feel like Klay won’t let this slide.
“I–I’m needed outside,” I said with trembling lips.

He clenched his jaws and he remained staring into my eyes, not even bothered by the knock.
“I need your words, Kelly. I know I promised you that I will wait but I feel like I will die every single day without having you as mine. Just tell me you’ll give me a chance.”
“Let’s just talk later…”
“Your words, Kelly. I need your words,” he whispered.
I couldn’t take it any longer. He’s making me so weak that I ended up nodding slowly. I was shocked when he flashed a handsome smile and claimed my lips after I nodded. The kiss didn’t last long. It lasted for only five seconds before he finally stood straight and walked towards my table. He sat on my swivel chair happily and looked at me with a big grin plastered on his lips.
“Go on, finish your work. I’ll be waiting here. We’ll have our first date tonight.”
