After spending a steamy night with his pregnant girlfriend, John's smile never leaves his face and he carries that smile around him even if he already goes home that morning back to the Jade Tower to report to his office.
Although they don't have a chance to talk again after he left Catherine's side that morning cause she was still sleeping when he left for work, he knew that the intimacy they shared last night was good enough steps for a possible reconciliation.
For now, he must be contented with their distance. He will wait when she will summon him again to her side. He won't barge in there at her place and demands her attention and time, he was fearing that she will get angry again. Hope he won't have to wait for long because he already misses her and their baby inside her tummy.
Romeo entered his office and sat down on the chair in front of his desk.
"You looked happy today, bro? What's the good news?" asked Romeo.
"I spend precious moments in Catherine's side last night, that is why I'm happy," answered John.
"That is good!" said Romeo grinning. "By the way, do you think is it the right time now to ask apology to her. My wife and I plan to visit her and apologize regarding Ella and those other women, can we visit her?" he asked.
John shook his head. "Not yet bro. No need to apologize though, you did nothing wrong. Stop feeling guilty about everything, I have taken responsibility for everything that happens including the Ella incident. Don't worry about it," said John.
"But bro, me and my wife felt the need to apologize to Catherine. We still insist to see her and visit her one of these days if possible," insisted Romeo.
John released a deep sigh. "Okay, fine. But not now, Catherine and I still not on speaking terms. She still can't forgive me and she was still harboring deep hatred towards me. It's not the best times to see her yet. Wait for the time that we will be having regular contacts and conversations and hopefully she can learn to forgive me very soon. I will tell you when that happens," explained John.
"Okay. I understand bro," said Romeo. "By the way, until now you haven't told me yet what happens with your challenge with Ella inside in one of the suites in Zen Garden Hotel. What tricks that bitch woman did inside that room?"
John shook his head upon remembering what transpired during the first round challenge with Ella inside the hotel suite. "I won on our first round, bro, that's all you need to know," answered John. He doesn't want to talk anymore about what happened inside the room with anyone.
Romeo grumbled. "Please bro, share to me the juicy details! I'm dying to know. Did you and Ella engaged in the deed?" his eyes gleaming with curiosity.
John stared at Romeo not wanting to elaborate anymore. "No, we didn't. I don't want to fall victim to her cunning temptation again."
"What did she do inside the suite? You and Ella just stared at each other waiting who will get tempted first?" asked Romeo.
"No. She brought a portable music player and played a piece of steamy music then she performs strip dancing in front of me wearing just her bra and undies for thirty minutes straight," explained John.
"Wow! That is hot and wild bro! Ella has this perfect gorgeous body, how come you were not tempted when you two are the only people inside that room?" asked Romeo. "Tell me, bro, you weren't even fully aroused just by looking at her?"
John swallowed his saliva down his throat upon remembering the unpleasant predicament he put himself into. "Honestly, on a man's point of view, I was aroused back there watching her gyrating to the steamy music, her naked body was stunning and her dancing skill was visually appealing and arousing but the thoughts of Catherine and my son is enough to stop my self from pouncing on her."
Romeo grinned. "Wow! I'm impressed with you, bro! If I'm the one inside that room and watching a hot sexy woman gyrating in front of me complete with steamy music, I think I won't last fifteen minutes without doing anything to that woman. You are a steadfast human being bro when it comes to self-control. I truly admired your iron will to control your urges. Any man if being put in that kind of situation they would surely succumb to temptation, it's hard to resist temptation when the one seducing you was a woman like Ella who is not only beautiful but also had a sexy alluring body. You're the man, bro!" Romeo gives his buddy a thumbs-up sign.
Looking back, John realized that during those times in the swimming pool area, his reflexes were weak. His body responded to Ella's advances without further thoughts, it was just a spur of the moments happenings. During the first round of their challenge, inside that suites, while Ella was gyrating seductively in front of him, his mind was aware of the possibilities, the positive and negative outcome of his next action. It's easy to detach his consciousness of what's going on inside that room and successfully distances himself from his physical urges as well. There is a big difference between prepared and unprepared.
"I still can't believe you get out unscathed from such a very tempting challenge bro!" Romeo was still shaking his head in disbelief.
