Chapter 210
~ Octavia ~
I had to wake up early. There was a project waiting for me, and Miranda wasn't going to accept anything less than perfection. But when I tried to get out of bed, Franklin's arm tightened around my waist.
"Don't go," he mumbled, still half asleep.
"Franklin, I have to," I said, but I was smiling. I was also sore. Very sore. And that was entirely his fault.
I hope Victoria does not catch on when I start walking weirdly today.
"Stay," he said, pressing a kiss to my shoulder. "Just for five more minutes."
"You said that twenty minutes ago," I pointed out, but I didn't move too. I won't lie that I was not enjoying being in his arms.
I later stood up after wiggling my way out of his hands.
He started talking about how he still has so much to do.
He was quiet for a moment, then: "I think I need to get a new secretary. I am sure I have a lot to cover."
I laughed at that. "Work has to go on but you still need rest." I said firmly.
