Taming My Arrogant Husband novel Chapter 100

"Just kidding!"

I stopped instantly and looked at him with my mouth hanging in mid-air. 

"What did you say?"

"I'm just kidding!" And he gave me the most hilarious laugh I have ever seen in him. 

"What the hell, Craig? I hate you!"

I screamed, narrowing my eyes on him but he just continued to laugh at me. 

"Oh, my good and gracious heaven, Sophia! Your reaction was priceless!" And he laughed at me again. He even slammed his hand on the table as he can't control his laughter. 

I sit back and took a deep breath. I hate him for this freaking joke but on the other hand, I am thankful it wasn't real. Yes, I missed him but I don't know how to face him after what happened last night. I received three calls from him this morning and two this afternoon, but I simply ignored them and pretended not to notice his calls. I even put my phone into silent mode and tossed it in my bag. 

"I hate you, Craig!"

"I know you will, but also know you won't hate me forever, duh!" He said rolling his eyes. 

I just turned my eyes back to the computer screen and focus on my work, but this annoying gay in front of my desk doesn't want to leave my office and loves to interrogate me all day. 

"So, what happened to you last night, Madam Kelley?"

"Madam Kelley?" I repeat, scrunching my face. 

"Fine! Sophia Kelley, what happened to you last night? Because it seemed that you forgot to do what you promised before leaving the apartment yesterday!"

I sighed and leaned on my seat. How I wish I had a magic wand to make him a frog even just for today. 

"I won't stop bothering you unless you tell me what happened!" He said, crossing his arms over his chest. "You promised to call me and I was worried sick waiting for your call, but I just waited for nothing! I tried to call your so-called brother and his girlfriend, but they were both out of range!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't get the chance to call you last night---"

"Oh, my gosh! You didn't get the chance to call me or you forgot to call me? That's really different, girl, so which one?"

"Fine, I forgot to call you---"

"Haha... see? I was right! Tsk.tsk tsk." He shook his head. 

"Listen to me first, Craig."

"Hmmp! Do I have a choice?"

I smiled at him before telling him the whole story of what happened yesterday and even last night. I didn't tell him in details as it was a  personal matter with my husband, but he understands it especially the disappointment I felt this morning. 

"Ohh... I don't know what to say, girl... I mean, I understand your how you feel but we didn't know what kind of emergency he had to deal with this morning. But I'm sure he has an explanation for that if you just answered one of his calls!"

He said emphasizing the word 'answered'. 

"Anyway, congratulations! You won the battle against his ex-bitch-girlfriend and you found out the truth about his feelings!"

"Yeah, but I still wonder why he's doing it."

"Come on, don't worry about it too much. You have already taken the first step and I'm sure you will easily get into the second and then the third, the fourth and the last! But for now, let's celebrate as you finally experienced heaven on earth!"

I chuckled with the words he used only to stop with his next question. 

"So, is he big?"

"Forgod-fucking-sake, Craig! What kind of question is that?" I screamed as I also glared at him. I felt the blush crawl across my face and down to my neck. 

"What's wrong with my question?" He asked, acting innocently. 

"What's wrong with your question, really, Craig? You're asking about my husband's private part, how dare you!"

But he just laughed at me again. 

"Fine! You don't have to answer it, I already knew the answer based on the blush on your face. Tsk .tsk... hilarious."

"Hilarious your face, argh! Get out!" I pointed to the door screaming. 

"Hahaha... of all the girls I asked about their boyfriends' jewels, your reaction was the most funny!"

I didn't respond to his silly comment, but I threw my pencil eraser at him as he stood up. But sad to say that I have no talent in shooting as it only landed on the chair that he vacant. 

"Fine, I have to go but expect me within twenty minutes with a bottle of red wine and your favorite pizza." He winked at me before finally left my office. 

Hearing the word 'pizza' my stomach suddenly growled, then I remembered I hadn't eaten any food since this morning. 

....................................

"He's here."

I looked up from my computer keyboard to see Craig leaning against the door frame. 

I just gave him a blank stare before looking back at the screen. 

"Sophia, he's here!"

"I'm sorry, Craig, but I'm busy and I don't have time for your frank joke this time." I said not looking at him. 

"But I'm serious, girl! I promised, Daniel is here! I saw him exited from his car in the parking lot."

"I have already heard those lines earlier, can't you think of any funny lines for your joke this time?"

"Oh, my God, I swear I'm not kidding!"

"Lah lah lah lah..." I continued to ignore him and sing while trying to focus on my work. 

"Okay fine, but don't blame for not informing you."

He said before I heard the door closed. A few minutes later, when my concentration had already back on the screen, I heard the door open again, but this time I asked without looking at the person who had entered my office. 

"Craig, I'm busy so please stop your nonsense jokes!"

I sighed when I heard nothing. 

"Why didn't you answer my calls?"

I gasped as my head automatically snapped towards the person in front of me. My heart began to pound faster than usual and I felt the shivers run down my spine when our eyes met. But of course, I managed to hide my excitement and smiled at him as if nothing had happened. 

"What brought you here, Mr. Kelley?"

I didn't miss how he clenched his jaws as he narrowed his eyes on me. 

"That's not what you called me last night, sweetheart." He smirks. 

Even that smirk added excitement to my hammering heart, I still pretended I wasn't affected. 

"What did I call you?" I raised an eyebrow. 

"Don't tell me you've already forgotten, sweetheart, the way you called my name while I was praising your body."

I bit my lower lip. Does he have to elaborate on those things? 

"I'm sorry, I suddenly have a memory loss."

"Goddammit, Sophia!" He yelled and my eyes widened when he only took three steps to get in front of me. 

"W-What are you doing?" I gulped as he lowered his body and drew his face closer to me. 

"You said you have a memory loss, well, I will bring back all your memories from last night!"

"But I----" I didn't get the chance to protest as he crashed his lips with mine. 

-'Where the hell did I get that idea?'-

It was a rough and a harsh kiss at first, seeking a response that later ended in an intense making out. My body seemed to be on fire with his touch. His hands wandered on my back as his lips slowly slid down to my neck. And I couldn't help but moan when he bit my earlobe. 

We were both catching our breath when he stopped and dropped his face on the crook of my neck. 

"Holy God, sweetheart! You don't know what you're doing to me, you're killing me! You're driving me insane every time I smell your scent! I can't even concentrate on my work because of you!"

I gulped while he's giving me feather-like kisses on my neck.  His breathing tickles me that I have to bite my lip to suppress my moan. 

But then he pulled back and looked at me with an expression he had earlier when he came in. 

-'What the---- how can he change his expression in a split second?'-

"Why did you leave the penthouse and why didn't you have breakfast?" He held both my shoulders. "And why you didn't answer my calls?"

I sighed and avoided his gaze as I remembered waking up without him beside to me, that he had to go to work even after what happened to us last night. 

"My phone is on silent so I didn't notice your calls."
