Stuck on You(Victoria Nojang) It’s 5 a.m in the morning, places are chilly, it was raining all night, and the streets are silent, only ghosts lurk about the empty streets. Suddenly a sharp, bustling noise wakes Kendra up; she checks her alarm on the table nearby. “Oh my, I've got to go shower immediately, appointment list, where do I begin, get a grip of yourself Kendra.”

Ten minutes later her phone rings, she rushes and scowls all over searching for the blackberry. Her room is a mess to say the least. “Hey, Andre you were supposed to wake me up, look when you’re calling, I am a complete wreck right now.” “I’m at your door sweet heart come open up and let me in” She heads for the stairs running towards the main door and opens the door, shivering like she’s run out of breath.

“Hey take it easy ma’am you look like a scarecrow at the moment, do you need my assistance to get ready in the next thirty seconds?” Andre inquires looking at her with bemusement. “That’s if there’s no physical contact,” She says and smiles teasingly but with a warning in her eyes, Andre knew those eyes much more than his own name. “Okay, I know I’m irresistible, but I would honor your wishes if you would place me in handcuffs” He smiled mockingly. why did she fall in love with this man who knew her inside out?

She hurried upstairs expecting him to come after her but he just stood watching her, admiring her all the more. Kendra was a multi-faceted lady, beneath the bold, daring, articulate and intelligent mask, laid a gentle, shy, romantic Andre had come to discover. He knew her every weakness and damn most often he was tempted to take advantage. At work they always had conflict of authority, but in the bed room he’d bet she knew the truth damn well, who the boss really was.

He found papers littered all over, he removed his coat and shirt to reveal, a powerful masculine, athletic figure, the first thing that drew Kendra’s attention the night he forcefully carried her from her office bench into his BMW and gave her a ride home. The night he kissed her to shut her up and most shockingly, quite unknown to her she kissed him back.

“I’m ready Andre, look up” he pretended not to hear and continued picking up the papers. She hurried downstairs, “you didn't have to put your shirt on, we’re late and I’m serious.” He didn't look up, more like no one had spoken, “Andre, seriously, just stop, you are so pissing me off right now, we have an urgent meeting at 8:a.m. bosses should set the right example.”

“Whatever Kenny, I’m not putting on this shirt until I get my well deserved kiss for cleaning up your mess” he said reading those eyes that spoke millions. She shivered like a kid but regained her composure in a few minutes. “I’m not falling for that silly game of yours” she threw his shirt at him, he didn't pick it up, so she walked over, picked it up, seized his hand and began assisting him, the perfect opportunity, he grabbed her and stole his passionate kiss, she melted in his arms.

“I have a way of getting what I want, don’t you think so boss?” he smiled mockingly. He lifted her up effortlessly and carried her to his car. “Hey Mr. I am my own boss, can you at least let me drive my own car?”
She said and gave him that firm dignifying look. “Wish not granted my princess, you are stuck on me, sorry, meant my car.” She was forced to smile, Andre was everything but humility.
