Chapter 148
Unleashing Feelings Kelly's POV
We overdid it and now I can't help but to bite my bottom lip while feeling the soreness between my legs. I'm lying on the bed, wearing Pierce's shirt and sweatpants. I was gripping the blanket covering my body as my cheeks continued to burn like crazy. "What's embarrassing, Kelly? You've done this before..." I whispered to myself and slowly pulled myself to sit on the bed. I looked at the side table to che 'he time but what I saw was different. There's a red rose on the table with a note.
A smile crept on my lips as I grabbed the piece of card and read the notes.
'Good morning. I'll be downstairs. Snow's with me.'
It's just a simple message but it became special because it was from him.
Biting my bottom lip, I got off the bed and tied my hair. I decided to go downstairs after checking the time on my phone. I saw messages from Ana and Yara but I ignored them. It's urgent anyway. I want to see Pierce and Snow now.
"Miss Kelly, they're at the pool side." The maid told me when I went to the kitchen and found no one but
the maid.
My lips parted as the memories of last night visited my mind. The pictures of me and Pierce played in my mind like crazy and it made me feel so embarrassed.
"Sir Pierce called people early in the morning to clean the pool and change the water. Now, they're playing there with your adorable daughter. I know now why he wanted it clean."
I smiled awkwardly at the maid before I proceeded to the pool area. I slowed down when I saw the whole family there. Sitting on the sun lounger was Pierce's parents. Mr. Anderson was drinking a coffee while reading the newspaper. Mrs. Anderson was filming Pierce, Snow and Phoebe playing in the pool.
I bit my bottom lips as I watched them. After a few minutes, Pierce saw me. He immediately got out of the water. My lips parted when I saw his body. Ripped muscles in the right places. Thin hair on his lower stomach down to his v-line.
My heart skipped a beat as I cleared my throat and looked away. I acted so casually but I had to lean my arm against the glass door while Pierce was walking toward's me.
I remembered every detail of what happened last night and it's making my knees tremble. Damn it!
"Morning."
I looked at Pierce and finally flashed a smile. "Morning...
He smiled and stared at my face. "Snow saw the pool. She wants to swim. Don't worry, I had it cleaned this morning."
I nodded. "Hmm."
"Are you going to work now? You should eat breakfast before you leave...wait, I'll drive you to your company."
I shook my head and smiled again. "It's okay. I'll just take a half day today. Snow is still enjoying here."
He nodded and his smile even wider. "Let's eat breakfast."
I was unable to refuse or do anything when he grabbed my hand and gently pulled me closer to his

parents. I smiled awkwardly at Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I'm still wearing Pierce's clothes and even if they're not conservative, I feel embarrassed standing in front of them. I'm sure they know something happened between me and Pierce.
"Good morning, sir and madam."
"Just call us dad and mom again, Kelly..."

I was taken aback. Mrs. Anderson was smiling widely, but after seeing my shock expression, she cleared her throat and tilted her head. "...or aunt and uncle?"
I pressed my lips together. I don't know what to say. Pierce pulled me to the next sun lounger and grabbed the plate with a pancake on the tab'
"Here. I'll just get you some coffee."
"Mommy, let's swim!" Snow stole my attention. I smiled at her and after Pierce left, I pulled myself up and sat on the poolside. I dipped my feet in the water and smiled at Snow. "I'll just eat, sweetie. Do you want some?"
She shook her head. "Mommy, Pierce allowed me to call him daddy. You won't mind, right?"
I was already eating so when she said that, I choked.
"Kelly! Here, drink this." Pierce's mom immediately handed me a glass of juice. "This is Pierce's, don't worry."
I didn't mind what she said. I just drink the juice and put it beside me. "Thank you...aunt."
She smiled and nodded before she went back to her lounger.
"Mommy, Aunt Phoebe is really good at swimming. Can we stay here longer? I want Aunt Phoebe to teach me how to swim."
I smiled at her. "Sure, sweetie."
"Yey!" Snow clapped her hands and looked behind me. "Daddy, mommy agreed to let me stay here longer!"
I bit my bottom lip. Pierce sat beside me and put the cup of coffee between us. He looked at me with his gentle eyes.
"Are you...okay now?" He asked, whispering. "Does it still...hurt?"
Slowly, I shook my head. "I can bear the...soreness."
He nodded. "I bought painkillers just in case. It's in our room."
Our room...
I just ignored what he said and continued eating.
"Daddy, race with Aunt Phoebe again!"
Pierce looked at me worriedly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't...say no to her."
"It's okay," I quickly answered and looked at Snow. "She never asks me anything before. This was the first time she asked about something."
...treat her like my own daughter, Kelly." That made me look at him again. He clenched his jaws while watching Snow. "I don't care about anything. All that matters to me is you and her."
When he slowly looked at me, I felt my heart racing inside my chest. Our eyes locked and I couldn't look

away. It seems like his eyes are drowning me into a beautiful fantasy. I couldn't resist.
"I know what happened last night doesn't mean we're already together. Please don't feel pressured. I can wait...until you're ready and can finally open your heart to me again."
I don't know what to say. I was lost for words. I thought he'd ask me to be his girlfriend especially after what happened last night but no...he's giving me a chance to think. He's giving me enough time to weigh my feelings. He's still selfishly selfless.
