Chapter 18: An innocent kiss

Aaron Black's POV
As if I will ever admit to little miss brunette that the other bracelet is with me before she will have the wrong impression of me having a love interest in her.
Went back home to Ava throwing tantrums at Jordan, she loves Jordan and won't do that to him.
"Hey Daddy's princess,what's wrong ?" I asked her sitting on the edge of her Disney Princess themed bed.
She remained quiet without answering me and I had to turn and throw a hard stare at Jordan.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. This was not me at all, bedsides I gotta go. My date is waiting for me at the bar already" He said he would come to tap me on the back and give Ava a peck on the cheek which didn't give back.
Ava must be bad ,she always kisses Jordan and I back when we peck her.
"Later and good luck with her" Jordan whispered in my ears before heading out.
"Do you want me to get you chocolate from the fridge?"
"Uh"
"Okay, let me get your bedtime stories then "
"No"
Now this can get frustrating some time but thanks to my latest alibi.
"Well, if you don't want to talk to me .How I'll you know that we have a dinner date with your teacher Miss Anastasia and her dog? '' That got her attention because she quickly stood up and came to sit on my lap.
"Will the door be there?" And I smiled knowing that she meant "Dior" , the teacher's pet dog.
"Yes, you will meet Dior" and she hugged me, getting all excited. Now, I just have to hope that Anastasia doesn't come up with any silly excuse tomorrow because I will do anything to keep this smile my baby is having even when she is sleeping.
The next morning my attention was not on the meeting with the board of stakeholders. Something is wrong because the lovers bracelet kept blinking a shade of blue and I had to check my system to review the data analysis.
"Oh ,this is not good" I thought to myself ,I mean the data system analyser is working better than I thought but then I just have to make an important call right now.
"I have heard all your marketing inputs, let's take a 5 minutes break" I dialed Miss Anastasia's number the moment they all left.
"Aaron Blacks speaking, Anastasia you are running a fever"
"How did you know that…" she stammered while coughing at the same time.
"You should not go to work today so that you don't infect the kids"
"I told you to stop stalking me" , sick and still stubborn as ever.
"I have an empire to run ,no time to do that. The bracelet actually showed me the data from your vitals"
"Oh"
"Do take some first aid medications, I will come visit you later" I hung up without waiting for her reply, I don't want her to talk too much and besides the earlier I finish this meeting ,the faster I will get to her.
In no time, Ava was dressed up in a pretty yellow sundress putting on a big smile when I told her it's time to visit Miss Anastasia and Dior.
I called Miss Anastasia several times but she isn't picking her calls and the lights were on in her apartment indicating that someone is around.
"Ava,wait for me in the car while I go get Miss Anastasia '' I left Ava with my security body guard who happens to be my driver at the same time,one of the best state security soldiers in the whole country.
Hopefully, her fever should be down if she takes the medication. It wasn't so critical when I got the alert.
Knock knock knock
"Miss Anastasia, open up Ava's father" I said hoping that it will make an impression on her. Besides, it felt nice referring to myself as just Aaron and not some CEO or Mr President as I am used to for the past 15 years now.
I knocked and rang the doorbell loudly but there was still no response and I could clearly hear her phone ringing and that was when I got really worried.
I checked the door and saw a card that shouldn't be broken. I tried three different most used codes in the country but it failed.
"Common, think hard" I whispered to myself and I remember Anastasia talking about her birthday being around June when students take the States and National Examination.
"05 08 2021 " I put in the code and it clicked open.
I rushed into the really tiny and stuffy apartment calling out to Miss Anastasia but she was not responding. I heard a sound coming from behind a door at the left side of the room.
"Ahhh…" was speechless to come face to face with a naked Anastasia Peters, okay she was not stack nacked but her boobs and down there were open that I swallowed and had to turn back quickly.
"I thought something was wrong with you, the love monitor bracelet was not reading any data" must be a damn dumb thing to say but then my brain is still processing Anastasia's Greek goddess like body and that was not even a full view.
I need video evidence of this before people will think I came in here to assault her.
Picking my phone and turning on the video camera, Anastasia, already wrapped up in her pink lush looking robe, was trying to touch me but I moved away from all that seer seduction, I mean how can her hair look that silky and rich when wet.
"This is a video evidence to prove that nothing happened between me and this young lady" Good,I head for the door after getting that evidence,sexual scandals are the worst associated with business empires and my reputation come after my little princess.
"You should really stop acting like a pervert Jordan" my subconscious mind scolded. I let out a cough and went ahead to close the bathroom door behind me since Anastasia was too stunned to let out even a word.
I quickly sat on the first chair I saw, calming my breath and immediately calling the project engineer to modify and update the changes to the love bracelet so that it could perform under water, pressure and extreme conditions.
Because at first ,it was giving me signals that Miss Anastasia might be in some kind of danger but judging from what just happened,she is fine and just taking a bath.
This might not only be useful for love and emotional issues but your partner's wellbeing. What a promising project I sighed while barking instructions to my team over a phone call.
A rattling sound interrupted my emergency conference call, Just for me to turn and see Miss Anastasia having these glares that were sending daggers my way as she swayed towards me holding a broken door knob.
"I must take revenge ,you devil" were her hushed words before she crashed right into my arms ,quite heavy and smelled really nice. The fever must still be bothering her because her body felt warm but thankfully not alarmingly hot.
I sighed and pushed the broken door knob, guess the bathroom door is broken. I picked her up bridal style and opened the first room apart from the kitchen and bathroom. It was locked.
I tried the second room and it opened to reveal an even more tiny bedroom.I gently laid her on the bed and covered her body appropriately with the bathrobe before taking a look around the room.
"How can a girl's room be this tacky and small? No wonder she fell sick, this place looks like a big bacterial growth media. And what's with too many toys on the bed.
I looked around and saw an open first aid box, she must have taken some medication. I checked her temperature using the thermometer "Thank goodness the fever is not so high"
The other side of the wall was covered with different types of postcards, clothes were thrown on the chair and I just stepped on a sock that didn'tbb look unworn.
I was about to leave the room when she murmured making some gibberish sound.I turned to say some snack packs on the bed. "This girl is worst than Ava, my baby girl will never be this messy"
I sighed moving closer to pick up the trash when a wire caught my leg and went landing on her flat, my lips placing a peck on her upper lips.
This isn't my fault ,I quickly and carefully stood up not wanting to wake her up. I can only imagine what she might think if she wakes up to see me in this position.
I closed the door gently behind me to go pick Ava from the car because it looks like we have some nursing duties to carry out.By the way, why is that silly dog of hers not barking and taking care of her?
