Chapter 4
Rufus smiled and got into the limo, Karen had remained silent when she’d heard that they had gotten the deal. What was going on with her, she was very quiet, when he’d reached to grab her hand, she’d just smiled at him; and pulled her hand away.
Karen watched him, she was deep in thought. Once we go back to work, it will be like we never were married, even though we weren’t. She fidgeted with the ring he’d given her, she was tempted to take it off and give it back to him. She slowly removed it off her finger, she looked over at him.
“I want to return this to you, sir.” She replied, giving him the ring, taking off her earrings. “And all the jewelry as well.”
Rufus just looked at her, he blinked. “Karen, what’s with you, you’ve been quiet all day long.”
“We’re done; we don’t have to pretend any more, sir.” She replied, she pulled the curtain that was there back, so she could take off her outfit and put on her old suit. “When we get back to the mansion, there won’t be any talk of this.”
“Karen, everyone already knows what we did; it was for the good of the company.” He replied, he fiddled with the ring she’d given it back to him. He watched as she pulled back the curtain to revel her in her Turk uniform, he mentally groaned. Gosh how he wanted to see her in a dress, low cut, bare legs, he loved her legs.
“I’m glad you got the deal, sir.” She replied, she put on her sunglasses, and made sure she had easy access to her weapons. She never knew with trips back what would happen.
Rufus grabbed her hand then. “Stop it with the, sir.” He replied.
She took her hand away from him. “You are my boss now, not my husband.” She replied angrily. She was glad they were home; she went to open the door.
“Hey Karen,” Reno smiled at her; she couldn’t help but smile back. “How was your trip?”
“It was good.” She took his offered hand to help her out of the limo, she noticed Rude helping Rufus. ‘’We got the deal we needed.” She figured Rufus could tell him the rest later.
“Hey would you like to have dinner tonight, or do you want to rest?”
Rufus frowned a bit, why was Reno so close to Karen, he shook it off, it wasn’t a big deal at all; right?
“Sir you have some paper work on your desk.” Tseng had come with Rude and Reno.
Rufus looked at him and nodded. “Of course,” He turned to Karen. “You aren’t off the job yet, Karen.”
He noticed Karen glare at him, she’d only done that a few times, and then it had softened.
“I’m afraid, sir, I have plans for the rest of the night.” She told him, spitting out the sir as if it was a bad taste in her mouth.
Reno looked from Rufus to Karen, what was going on here? Something was up; the last thing they had heard was that Rufus and Karen were pretending to be married to get a huge deal for the company. Secretly Reno had wondered why his boss had chosen Karen instead of Elena.
Karen took Reno’s arm, after picking up her bag. “Where are you taking me to dinner?” She asked, as they walked away from the group.
9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9
Rufus sat at his desk, he frowned, and Tseng wasn’t lying when he said that he had paper work. Yet, that wasn’t what he was upset about; he was upset that he was upset about Reno taking out Karen for dinner.
He knew that their love affair, for lack of a better word, was just that an affair. He knew that she wouldn’t love him; no she was in love with Reno, for all he knew. Yet those nights, those two nights, when she had actually whispered his name in her sleep, he had actually felt a slight stirring inside him. One he hadn’t felt in a long time.
He groaned and set his head down on his desk feeling quiet tired, more aggravated then tired. Besides it wasn’t supposed to be this way, Karen was his employee, if only he could remember where Reno was taking Karen. He pushed the call button.
“Did you need something, sir?” Elena’s voice came over the intercom.
“Yes…..” He ran his fingers through his hair. “I need to speak with Reno, but I’m afraid his cell his turned off.” It was a lie but it would suffice. “What restaurant is he at?”
9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9
“So that’s what we did….” Karen sighed and took a sip of her wine. “And we got the deal, so that’s a good thing.”
“And yet you haven’t told him how you feel about him?” Reno asked, twirling his linguine on his fork.
“Reno, I…how did you know!?” Karen dropped her fork.
Reno chuckled, and watched as the blush rose in Karen’s cheek. “Don’t think you can hide that from me. I’m your big brother, remember?”
Karen shook it off and glared at him. “I can’t tell him how I feel about him, he’s my boss, and beside he didn’t care any ways. He was only in it for one thing, one thing only…and don’t you dare say sex, or I will kick you and you will never have children.”
Reno paled slightly and looked at her. “You should tell him, Karen, the worst he could do is say he doesn’t feel the same way about you.”
“And I’ll be tortured about being in love with him and not having him love me back, gosh that’s worse then death.” She drained her glass. “I sound pathetic, don’t I?”
Reno watched as she poured herself another glass. She drained it quickly, a hand stopped her from pouring another glass, and she glared and looked up. Her cheeks reddened when she noticed who it was.
‘Sir, I didn’t expect to see you here, what brings you by?” Reno asked.
“I came to talk to Karen.” Was all Rufus said, which meant Reno was excused.
Reno stood, nodded his head, and left. Rufus sat where Reno had been sitting. Since he had moved his hand, Karen had poured herself another glass of wine.
“You shouldn’t drink so much.” Rufus stated. “Might give Reno the wrong idea about you.’’
“What kind of wrong idea, sir?” Karen asked glaring, she was upset that he was here.
“Like the fact that you’re easy.” He replied, not evening bothering to drop his voice.
Karen stood then knocking over the chair, but no one bothered to look their way. “I don’t believe you have the right to talk about how, easy I am.’’ She glared at him, placing her hands on the table, palms down. “You think that…”
Rufus looked up at her, waiting for her to continue, she looked back at him, her eyes softening for a few brief seconds. She picked the chair back up and sat down. A sigh escaped her lips.
“I apologize, sir, I’m just a little stressed.” Karen picked up her fork again, she hadn’t finished her meal.
Rufus watched her, as she began to eat, slowly, delicately. She looked over at him, and then gestured for the waiter.
“Yes, ma’am can I get you anything?” He smiled at her.
Karen shook her head, “Actually whatever Mr. Shinra would like.”
Rufus was handed a menu and was going through it. “I’ll have whatever she’s having, and another glass.”
The waiter nodded took the menu, and asked if he could remove Reno’s plate, he did not ask what had happened to her other date.
“Will you box it up, I’ll take it to him later.” Karen smiled and the waiter nodded, taking the plate.
9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-99-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9
Rufus pushed open the door with the back of his foot, pulling Karen closer to him, she kissed him back, giggling. He grinned then kissing her back; he pushed his tongue past her lips, playing with her’s. She ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him as close as she could. A slight moan escaped her lips as one hand moved to the buttons of her blouse, slowly unbuttoning them.
He gently laid her on the bed, removing her blouse as he did so tossing it to the floor. She shivered slightly, and looked up at him; she wasn’t sure what was going on, her mind was all fuzzy. Then it clicked, she was dreaming, she had to be dreaming, there is no way her boss would be doing this not with her.
“I’m dreaming.” She whispered softly, as he laid kisses on her neck.
“Then I’m dreaming too.” He whispered in her ear, before placing a single kiss on her jawline. “And if I’m dreaming, I don’t want to wake up.”
She purred softly, pulling him closer, she stopped suddenly. Looking into his eyes, her own eyes sparkled. A small smile was on his lips, he went to kiss her, but she put her hand in the way.
“We’re both drunk, sir; this is not something we should be doing.” She replied, coming back to her senses.
He brushed her hair back and kissed her lips softly since, she’d removed her hand. “No, Karen, I want to.” He stated, and kissed her again.
Karen pulled back. “Sir, no.’’ She stated, “We are not pretending to be married, we don’t have to pretend to make…” Her face flushed a deep dark red. “To have sex.”
Rufus looked at her. “Is that what you think this is?” He asked, rolling off her, he placed his hand on her stomach, he felt a shiver go through her. “Do you think I’m pretending?”
Karen looked at him, she blinked several times. “What else would you be doing….?” She asked.
Rufus brushed her hair back, he sighed a bit. “Karen….” He whispered her name. “Ever since you walked into my…life…” He paused for a minute. “I’ve had these feelings for you…”
Karen just laid there, waiting for him to continue, she turned to look at him. She was aware that she was still half naked with her boss holding her, but she didn’t seem to mind right now.
“Karen, I asked you to be my wife, but it wasn’t just to get the deal…” He ran his fingers through a few strands of her hair. “I wanted to see if you felt the same way about me…” He wasn’t use to talking like this, or even acting like this, it was strange for him. He knew, though, that Karen needed to know how he felt.
“Sir…” She started, then stopped. “Rufus, I’ve loved you..for a long time.”
“Loved?” He asked, watching her.
“I mean love…Rufus, I love you.” She whispered softly.
He smiled and brushed her hair back and kissed her very softly. “I’ve always wanted to hear you say that…” He whispered, and then he frowned. “What about Reno?”
She looked at him, her eyebrow raised. “What about him?”
“If you love me, why we’re you out to dinner with him?” Rufus asked, brushing her hair back and moving his hand up and down her stomach.
“Rufus, Reno and I are just close friends.” She giggled slightly. “Nothing more, I promise.” She brushed his hair back, and kissed the corner of his mouth. “But that doesn’t mean I’m going to sleep with you.”
Rufus chuckled. “Then marry me at least.”
Karen looked at him, she blinked several times. Her face turned a bright shade of red, Rufus just smiled he still had the ring he had given her during their ‘fake’ marriage.
“I mean it Karen, marry me, for real’s.” Rufus stated. “No business deal, just be my wife.”
