Chapter 30 - Chapter 30 – Keep it low profile.

[Fiona POV]

It had been a week since the cruise and I had recovered well. Gian had given me a week off work because of the incident and it was time for me to go back to work.

Selby hadn't been in the apartment since the day we arrived back home, with her new job and new man. She was a bit busy coming home, I guess.

Heath has been sleeping in our apartment since we became official, so I also guess Selby is kind of right for not coming back home.

Carl was transferred to a different department after his fall-out with Heath. "You are up early," Heath mumbles from the bed.

I had already taken a shower and I was busy ironing my clothes. "Well, I have to go to the office early. I am an assistant, you know."

"My assistant gets to go to work late," he says.

"And?"

"And you should resign and come work for me so you can get all the beauty sleep you need," he reasoned.

I chuckled, he had been waking up and leaving for work for the past week and he would tell me how much he liked kissing me on the forehead as he left me sleeping. Seems his fantasy is ending since I am going back to work.

"I love working for Mr. Easton and he pays me well and treats me well," I say proudly, "Plus, soon he will be a father and he will need to take paternity leave to take care of Clover, so I will need to hold the fort."

He slowly got out of bed grumbling about something. I didn't make sense of his sentence, but I know he hated that I still refused to come to work for him. "I remember you losing our dare of drinking game."

"It…... It was rigged."

"No, it wasn't. Come on, what is more fun than working for your very hot boyfriend?"

"Working for my pregnant friend's husband so she can get her husband's support with the baby."

"Why can't he hire someone else? You can't keep filling the gap for them," he says, annoyed.

"I am not filling the gap, Heath," I say. I don't understand why he is being like this. Working for him will not change a thing about our relationship.

"Whatever, I am going to make you breakfast," he says before walking away pouting. I couldn't help but smile at the cuteness alone.

I joined him later on after getting dressed, he was still pouting, "Are you really going to pout for the whole day?"

"What are you going to do about it?" she sassily shoots, "Come on, sit down and have breakfast."

"Of course, my sweet homemaker," I teased. I watched his face turn red immediately. It was a beautiful sight.

"I must get a good cosplaying outfit for us; this weekend we are roleplaying you as my husband and me as your bratty wife and you are punishing me."

I gasped at this man's suggestion. His man's kinks seem to be out of this world. "Are you insane?"

"For you? Yes, I am surprised you just noticed that now," he joked.

"Is this one of your stupid kinks?" I asked, picking up the utensils to start eating my lovely breakfast.

"I think it is kind of an extension to my other kink," he says confidently. I look at him waiting for the absurd explanation, "I like being dominated by you, and this role-play will do just that."

"Why can't you just choose something like criminal cop roleplay if you like me taking the lead so much?" I asked.

He looked at me curiously before smiling, "I will put that on the notepad for later," he teased, "We are doing the homemaker one first."

"Ugh... I think I chose an unhinged man."

He laughs before kissing me in the forehead, "I am going to take a quick shower, I will be right back."

"Where are you going? It is only seven o'clock you go to work at 10 o'clock."

"I need to drive my cute husband to work. I am just a caring homemaker caring for my dear husband after satisfying me all night last night," he says playfully.

Yes, my boyfriend is weird, very weird, and I don't hate it at all. I love every inch of his weirdness and everything else.

He drove me to work later on, not forgetting pestering me about working for him, "I will pick you up for lunch."

"You don't have to," I told him. We had just started the relationship and, thankfully, the media hadn't got the wind of it that the favorite bachelor was no longer on the market.

If we appear together in a public setting too often, they will catch on to us, and our relationship will become very chaotic.

"I will see you when I get home," I said, getting out of the car nervously. He had parked in the front of the company building instead of the parking lot and there were a lot of my colleagues and other people crowding the space.

"No kiss?" he says with a pout.

I carefully got back in the car to give him a small peck before getting up to leave again, but he also got out to leave as well. "You don't have to get out of the car."

He ignores my plea before walking from his side of the car to my side of the car. He crouches to my height and pulls me into a passionate kiss. I can hear gasps from everyone in the crowd.

I cursed the dumb person who allowed this man to drive me to work, and that would be me. I am the dumb person that deserves all the curses.

"I don't know what you are trying to get at, but it will not work. I am not going to sneak around and be shameful if you understand," he commands in a low tone.

The man that I look at is not the same man that would moan loudly as I dominated him and beg for me to choke him. This man is different from the Heath I know.

"Yes," I say, embarrassed. I step away from me and look around at everyone looking at us, crushing all my hopes of having this as a low-key affair.

"Good morning, everyone, you don't need to be surprised, I am just a whipped boyfriend driving my awesome girlfriend to work," he yells.

 I tried to stop his speech but they restrained me by pinning me to the car before smirking at me, "Yes, my girlfriend is a bit feisty, that is why I choose her, because of her feistiness."

"Can you stop, we will be trending soon if you don't stop," I scolded him, but he keeps smirking at me.

"So?" he says confidently, "You want to hide me for some reason, and I don't like it."

"Because I don't want our relationship to be a trending topic Heath, we will lose our privacy," I scolded angrily.

"Too late I guess," he says, looking behind us. I look behind to see someone taking pictures of us.

I look back at him angrily and he just shrugs, "Come on, they were going to know sooner or later, rather than they know from the horse's mouth than with rumors."

"Now everyone is going to have to explain to everyone how this happened, and I will be making media calls all day," I complained. He looks around and I facepalm, he is about to do something stupid again.

"Listen to everyone, though she is feisty, my girl is also shy. Don't bombard her with questions or there will be consequences," he yells before looking back at me, "How was that?"

His face smiled brightly. When this man said he would claim me to the world, he wasn't lying. "Hopefully that works," I said, giving up my keep it low-profile.

I tiptoed to kiss him before saying goodbye as I walked to the building. I know this will be a long day, but I am sure I will survive.
