HER ANONYMOUS LOVER Taming the devil CEO

Arianna felt irritable, she cursed softly to herself as she turned on the shower.

As a designer in one of the famous fashion and beauty companies, the struggle for a promotion was something Arianna’s yet to overcome, no matter how hard she had tried.

She thought of Alecia Williams, the highest rated fashion icon in the company.

Alecia is nowhere near Arianna in hard work or potential but she was blessed with unreal beauty, a body stature like a carved goddess of beauty is the number one priority for the company figure.

Apart from the promotion,Arianna had to work tirelessly for the well-being of her mother,who is suffering from terminal disease.

"Gosh,why on earth did I wake up late!"

Arianna groaned out.

She closed her eyes allowing the water to drip down her body not wanting it to stop.

The alarm interrupted her thoughts. She frowned at the interruption and was about to turn off the shower then someone snoozed the alarm.

“Arianna? Honey! Are you okay dear? You’ve been in the shower for an hour now”.

Her mother called out and approached the bathroom.

"Oops! "

Arianna screamed in her mind, alerted.

‘’Hm...I am shaving mom! What’s the time now?”

“8am”mother replied.

"Shit!"

She cursed and pulled the towel over her wet naked body then dashed out of the bedroom.

Her door opened expecting her mom, she cared less.

‘’Arianna.’’

Arianna swung around with a start.

Tianna Harper stood there smiling sheepishly at her. She was wearing her new red hair cut, styled in an attractive way that framed her equally attractive features. Her tanned skin was a perfect match with her very bright emerald green eyes.

Arianna had known Tianna since childhood. Their mothers were very close too, they once told Tianna and Arianna that Arianna was named Arianna because of one year older Tianna.

‘’Tianna, what are you doing here at this time of the day?’’Arainna asked, staring at her friend with intense curiosity.

Tianna chuckled and walked over to sit on the bed.

‘’You look like thirteen years old with that towel tied around your bosom,how is your digital boyfriend by the way?’’

Arianna paused and looked at her with arched brows, Tianna loves teasing her to death.

‘'He is absolutely fine, thank you Miss Harper’’

Arianna snapped back addressing her with her first name.

‘’I am just being a good friend honey, I mean how can you trust someone whom you've never seen ...not even in a video call,I don't think I can do that online dating stuff, what if he is physically... ..I don’t know…invisible? Even worse ...dickless’’ Tianna said with a shrug.

Then she got to her feet and walked over to the dressing table to help Arianna with her bra hook without being asked to do so.

‘’Thanks’’ Arianna muttered a bit shyly.

‘’I am the mom here so I have to take care of my tiny baby or else she will get married to an invisible dickless man’’.

Tianna said and gave her the I told you so look and went back to her sitting position.

Arianna scoffed in annoyance.

‘’Teddy! ....Is not invisible, he is real! Okay?..Look I have no time for this,I don't wanna be late for work" Arianna replied with a hand wave.

She walked over to the wardrobe and picked her outfit for the day.

"Teddy?"Tianna Chuckled.

"That's the name I call him,since our identities and real name's hidden".

"Let me guess..then he nicknamed you...mmm..bear..you know then the couple's name is teddy bear"Tianna said purposely to annoy her.

Arianna narrowed her eyes."You are impossible Tianna".

‘’Nice underwear though, I’m gonna steal one of those, sad Teddy isn’t real enough to get a peek at you wearing those, you know.. before you two get dirty and stuff" Tianna said.

‘’Okay I don’t care if you think I am going crazy or whatever but Teddy is real and he does love me as much as I love him so get a life!”

Arianna barked at Tianna's reflection on her dressing mirror angrily.

Tianna smiled satisfactorily as she's aware of Arianna fury and couldn't help getting her even more annoyed, it's something she loves doing to her friend.

‘’Alright, what’s his last name, let me guess anonymous?"Tianna asked with an eyebrow raised.

“Teddy…boo ’’ Arianna replied shamelessly with pride.

‘’Exactly boo with thumbs down, get hold of yourself girl, I understand".

"You're sick Tianna".

Tianna broke into a hearty laughter.

Arianna's phone vibrated with unlimited pop up notifications,she had dropped it on the bed,before getting into the shower,Tianna glanced at the phone screen.

‘’Speaking of the devil, girl he is really the possessive type, he typed all this in a minute?’’

Arianna rushed to the bed and grabbed her phone from her,with a warning look on her face.

"Don't kill me".

Tianna Chuckled.

Arianna shook her head , she sat on the bed beside Tianna and forced her feet into her sneakers before dashing out of the room with fingers glued to her phone screen.

“’Hey I am still here!”’

Tianna yelled.

*************

On her way to the company,she stopped by her favorite cafe to get an instant coffee but then her phone won't stop buzzing from notifications.

"Not now Teddy".

Arianna said about bringing out her phone from her back ,she unintentionally bumped into a man carrying a cup of coffee, she lost her balance and fell down.

The accident eventually led to spilling of the coffee and staining of the stranger's expensive white suit.

Arianna looked at the blurred image in front of her,her head was aching bad, slowly her eyes went to her phone's broken screen.
