Purple Romance

Chapter 107: 107 I like you.

''Yes, I am doing this on purpose. So, will you go in or not? The choice is yours. I don't mind you sleeping without clothes too but that will have to be in my bed with me'' Kobby said and stepped closer to her, he leaned closer to her and spoke softly ''I know that I am handsome and extremely attractive but we can't go beyond kissing tonight. So, wipe your drool, Miss Banks''

Calia looked at him with widened gaze and instinctively touched her mouth with her hand and felt her saliva almost falling out and she screamed and shut the door almost immediately. She had Kobby's soft chuckle and cussed internally. why did she have to look like a lustful bird in front of him?

''I will bring you a change of clothes later. Don't get too excited on your own, okay?'' Kobby said and went into his room with a smile.

Calia finished showering and came out, she wrapped a towel around her body and looked over at the bed where Tiana laid. She saw a pair of clothes neatly placed on the bed and walked over and there was a note on it.

''wear these and come out for coffee':

Calia smiled and picked the clothes and hurried to the bathroom. She quickly changed into the ash coloured shirt and shorts. They were the same as the ones Kobby wore. She flushed as she thought of Kobby in those clothes. She lifted the hem of the shirt and smelt it murmuring ''smells like Kobby''

Calia got to the hall and saw Kobby seated on the floor drinking a can of beer. She sat next to him and snatched the beer from him and drank and he asked.

''You know how to drink beer?''

''I'm 26 not 17, okay?'' Calia said and emptied the can all in.

''I'm 34. That makes me 8 years older than you'' Kobby said.

''Oh my. That means you are so old already? I can't believe I fell for an older man'' Calia said and Kobby turned and glared at her. she pursed her lips but couldn't suppress the laughter in her as she added ''I mean a very attractive man who is only 9 years older than me. 34 isn't that old, you know? What am I saying? I should just keep quiet. Sorry''.

''Are you done?'' Kobby asked and she nodded her head. Kobby smiled and pulled her closer to himself and kissed her before saying ''can any other man make you feel this way apart from this 30 something old man?''

''No'' Calia said and looked away.

''How was the dinner? I hope your grandpa didn't give Maria any trouble?'' Kobby asked changing the topic.

''No, she even won her over. It won't be long before my grandpa succumbs to her charm'' Calia said. ''My grandpa is a serious man to deal with. I don't think I will ever tell him about my love life''

''That's that mean you don't intend to date me openly?'' Kobby asked and Calia flushed.

''Well, we just started dating, wait. You didn't tell me we were dating?'' Calia turned and looked at him.

''What? Then, what are we doing?'' Kobby asked.

''You, you didn't openly tell me we were dating. You just sad you would be the one doing the chasing. Now that I remember it correctly, I suddenly feel angry. You didn't even officially make me your girlfriend and you kissed me?''

''I thought my actions were enough to tell you that I like you'' Kobby said.

''Say that again. I want to hear it from you again'' Calia said and leaned closer to him.

''Silly girl. Do I have to say it aloud?'' Kobby asked.

''Mmm, I want to hear it'' Calia said and nodded her head.

''I like you, Calia and since we've kissed already, you are now my girlfriend''

''Then, what about Rihan? What are you going to do about her? Let me tell you. I am an extremely jealous woman''

''Don't worry about her. I already told her to stay away from me. She is someone I no longer have anything doing with since 10 years ago''

''I know, but she still gets on my nerves. Should I just break my contract with her?''

''No, business is business. You have worked hard for this show. Don't let her influence your decisions. You just have to trust me and believe in me. I will never betray the one I have chosen. Also'' Kobby pulled her and she sat on his laps ''you already have a great supported sleeping in that room. She will never accept any other woman other than you'' Kobby said and kissed her.

Calia's phone rang suddenly and they both turned and looked towards Tiana's bedroom. Kobby looked at the clock and spoke ''is so late, who could be calling you?''

''I don't know, let me check'' Calia said and went to the room for her phone. She rushed out after a minute breathing helplessly and her eyes turned red.

''What is it?'' Kobby asked and stood up.

''That was my secretary. Something happened to the models at the hotel and they are all at the hospital, I need to go over there immediately'' Calia said.

''Let's go, I will take you there. Wait here'' Kobby went into his room and returned with a blazer and his car keys. He covered Calia's body with it and spoke ''let's go'' Calia nodded and they both went out.

30 minutes later, they arrived at the First Hospital's building and saw Marvel at the entrance. Marvel rushed to them as soon as she them getting down from the car.

''Marvel what happened? How are the models doing?'' Calia asked as they went inside.

''The doctors are attending to them. I was in the house when I received a call from the hotel that they had sent five of our models to the hospital due to food poisoning'' Marvel explained the situation to them. She was equally in her sleep wear. She didn't have time to change due to the situation.

''Food poisoning is serious. What did they eat?:' Kobby asked and pulled Calia's hand along ''let's stop by my office. I will change quickly and go with you''

''Mmm. Marvel, go ahead, I will be there shortly'' Calia said to Marvel.

''Okay, they are all in the Emergency room'' Marvel said and they both took different directions.

Emergency room.

Marvel stood by the bed of Rihan who was the senior model among the rest. The doctor was inserting the IV into her wrist as she frowned. Marvel asked worriedly.

''Miss Rihan, how do you feel?''

''Where is your Miss?'' she asked rather arrogantly and added ''why is she not here? Does she not care about us models? We are here because of the food the hotel provided us and she only allowed a common secretary like you to be with us?''

Marvel frowned at her statement. Why was she suddenly attacking her out of nowhere? Marvel looked at her and wondered who spat on her biscuits because her behaviour was extremely ridiculous. She was about to speak up for herself when she heard a voice behind her.

''Miss Rihan, I understand that you are in pain but please can you refrain from looking down on my assistant? She isn't just a secretary. I started my business with her and she has a Masters' degree in Communications and General affairs. She was the first in our class of year 20xx and also, she is my very good home buddy. Don't belittle her and think she is just someone I picked from the streets'' Calia said proudly and placed her hand on Marvel's shoulder. Her eyes lifted as if she was looking down on Rihan at that moment and it infuriated her.

''You...'' Rihan was about to retaliate when she saw Kobby. He had long changed into an appropriate shirt and long pants. He also had his doctors' coat on. ''Kobby, you are here?'' Rihan said with a smile.

''He came with me. he didn't come because of you'' Calia said to her smugly and intertwined her hands with Kobby's.

''How are they doing Dr. John? I mean the models'' Kobby ignored Rihan and turned to the doctor in charge asking.

''Thankfully they were rushed in early and we were able to flush out the poisoning. The other models are recuperating in the ward. Miss Rihan refused to move to the general ward until Miss Banks came'' Dr. John said.

''You can send her to the general private ward, move the other models there too, please. I will settle the payment at the accounts department'' Calia said to Dr. John.

''Sure, excuse me'' Dr. John said and walked away.

''Kobby, I was so afraid before. now that you are here, I feel safer now that you are here'' Rihan shamelessly said and smiled.

Calia chuckled and folded her arms and glared at Kobby. Kobby sighed and pulled her closer to himself and said ''Rihan, this is my girlfriend Calia''.

''Your, your girlfriend? Since when?'' Rihan asked shockingly.

''Since before the proposal party, so please can you stop harassing my boyfriend? He is now my man and I already warned you, right? I don't mind hitting you even though you are in the hospital'' Calia said and moved her hand towards Rihan's face and the latter moved back and Calia smirked before turning to Marvel.
