Chapter 15

"Mum... hope you are great" Jeffrey embraced his mum as soon as I saw her enjoying herself in the sitting room
"Yeah! I'm fine...Hope nothing's bothered you... you can talk to me, I'm your mother" The look on Jeffrey's face alone tells he's not alright.
"Mum. I'm fine but let's sit and talk" Jeffrey sat down and turned off the television screen.
"Yeah... what is it, my son?" She asked, staring at me as if I'm about to confess.
"Stop... looking at me like that" I laughed while hitting my mum on her shoulder.
"Fine... what is the matter, my son?" She asked but this time looking in a different direction.
"Yeah... let's discuss...You know I'm not with you during the day...I only come at night... my point is this, the first time I came here, you turned into a drug addict so please I'm begging you... hope you didn't take your drugs today.?" I stared at my mum and I could feel the tears in her eyes but had not dropped yet.
"My son... I haven't taken it today... Please believe me" She looks at me with a pitiful face but I look away.
"I believe you mum but can I ask a favor from you?" I asked, still looking sideways.
"Yes... You are free, my child..." She quickly cleans up her tears and tries to compose herself.
"Can you go get me the pills in your room? I'm sorry but I believe you... just to be sure that you are not with it anymore" I pleaded, still staring at the door, refusing to look my mum in the eyes.
"Fine... " she stood up and headed straight to her room.
About two minutes later she came back with a lot of pills.
"What... is this all this you have been taking? mum... you are not like this" I yelled but was happy she brought the pills.
"I'm sorry my child...it won't happen again as soon as I have you" Her lowered tune made me feel pity for her.
"Mum... I'm sorry if I'm cold to you but I'm doing all of this for your sake... you know I love you so much so please don't hurt my feelings and besides I want you to be happy" I smiled and rubbed my hand on her head.
"I love you my son" She stood me up and hugged me so tight as if she didn't want to let go.
"Mum... thanks for everything... I need to head to my room now, so you can continue with what you were doing." I whispered to her and she let go of me.
"Take care of yourself... there is food in the kitchen so you can eat up my dear" She yelled out loud as I entered my room.
'Thank you, Lord, for saving my mum... I wished this smile could last forever... I'll be grateful if my request is granted.' I murmured to myself as I jumped into my bed.
Damn... this is a lot of pills, I need to burn this down...
I head straight to the back of our house with diesel in my hand.
I made sure, all the drugs were burnt down and there was no trace that they were drugs...
I head back into my house where I see my mum spying on me from the window.
We both smiled at each other as I headed straight to the kitchen.

" Hi.. dear.. are you dressed for dinner tonight?" The boss asked as he just entered the house.
"Dinner evening.... oh... I forget but why do I have to get dressed" Jennifer replied feeling confused because she has no dress to put on.
"Because we are going out for dinner this evening" I replied while smiling at her but she looked so cold.
"Out? Can't we just do it here..." she replied, still thinking of what to put on.
"Here... no... I said it for dinner in the evening... we should do it somewhere else..." I replied, still returning the beautiful smile that comes out from my mouth... I keep thinking why is this day so important that I'm filled with joy.
"Sir...Sir... the.." She stammered and the boss interrupted her...
"Oh... I forgot to tell you that I've already bought you a dress and it on my vehicle... why don't you head there and change right away." I commented still smiling like who just saw a damn princess for the first time.
"Oh....on... your car...okay sir...Thank... you...sir..." She stammered and went to the car but unfortunately, it was locked.
She headed back straight to the boss but was too scared to talk because she hasn't been on good terms with him.
"Sir..sir...The...the...door...I" She stammered and the boss interrupted her again.
"Oh... sorry... I forgot I locked the door... but here is the key..." I handed over the key to her...I purposely locked the door so that she could talk to me but it seems she's not ready to mingle with me yet and we are going out on dinner evening together...
"Dammit" I yelled as I entered my room...
' I was already thinking of how to attend this dinner evening without me knowing she already bought me a gown... he's a God scent but I still don't want to get attached to him... He's so rude and arrogant...' I whisper to myself as I take the dress from the car and head back to my room.
On my way to my room... I decide to give him the key but something tells me not to... if not... we'll start talking again.. I'll be used as granted... So... I took the key to my room.
I quickly took my bath because I knew he must have been waiting for me...
This is the first time I have taken this kind of quick bath in years now.
I quickly put on the dress but with no make-up since I don't have money to buy any.
"Damn... What kind of dress is this... it looks beautiful on me... wow... I love it... I never knew I could be this beautiful... Wow..." I walked slowly downstairs and the first person I saw was my boss staring at me.
I became shy to walk anymore... because of him, I spent about ten minutes thinking of how to get down.
"You are beautiful tonight" He smiled while shining his teeth on me.
'How disgusting..' I murmured to myself.
"Oh... You are not on makeup today...Why... " He asked, still staring at me but I refused to reply to him.
"Sorry for asking but my mum loves makeup a lot... don't worry...I'll get it straight ahead" He heads to her room to get the makeup and something tells me to stop him but I couldn't.
"Take..." He handed the make-up over to me but I refused to collect it.
"Take... it..." He stretches his hands with the makeup again but this time, I collected it without saying anything.
"Sir..sir...it is not about makeup... the point is, it's of no use to me because I haven't used this once so I don't know how to use it... Therefore, we should forget about this" Her lowered tune kept me smiling while I continued to stare at her damn pinky lips.
"Oh... You don't know how to use it...No problem... let's go to your room... my mum taught me how to wear makeup... something, I do wear it on her '' He dragged me but I removed my hand.
"It's no use sir... Let's just go... it's getting late..." I removed my hands and he stared at me as if the beast was getting awakened.
"Don't worry... just give me a try... I promise to be nice to you" I was surprised when he smiled at me.
I have no option but to take him to my room.
He sat me down close to the mirror in my room.
He slowly opened the makeup and started putting it on my face...
Although I was scared, later on I was relieved.
I continued to stare at him from the window.
Damn... he's handsome...
I continued to stare and forget, someone is wearing my makeup.
' Please don't get distracted... you can't fall for this look now ' my inner voice whispered to me.
I continued to stare at him and his smile was refreshing, talking less of the tattoo on his neck.
This moment reminds me of the first time I met this man...
Wow! I was so in love... Every moment then seems the same as this but No...'I won't fall for this look again'.
"Hi... I'm done" He whispered to me but I was busy thinking of how beautiful it is over here.
"Hi... I'm done" He tapped me and I quickly got myself.
"Wow!... You are so good... look at me... I'm beautiful... Wow..." I stood up and was about to hug him but I stopped.
"Thanks" My voice changes again.
"You look great tonight" Despite the kind of tune I used on him, he's still smiling at me.
We both head straight to his car without saying a word to each other.
"Can you drive?" He looks at me and questions.
"What... No..." I replied with tension all over my body.
"Then, give me my keys... "He shines his teeth on me again.
"Oh... sorry sir... Here is the key" I stretched it back to him and we both entered the vehicle.
"Why are you not driving," I asked him because we had been inside this car for about two minutes but he didn't show signs of us going out.
"A minute" He Continues to look for the best music to play.
"Got it... Perfect by Ed Sheeran... look great tonight" He smiled as the music continued to play...
He then starts the car and heads straight to the restaurant.
"Is this a date?" I asked while staring at him.
"Hmm... Don't know what to call this right now... but I bought this place down just for two of us alone" He whispered while still shining his teeth on me.
"What... why," I asked coldly... I know this is not the reply he was expecting anyway.
"Don't worry..." He called the waiter and ordered the food with wine too.
"I want us to be alone... just the two of us" He keeps shining his teeth on me... or is there something on me?.
"Hmm... okay... it's nice... but...we can do this at home... never mind" She stammered and remembered what he said somewhere outside.
"Seriously... I don't know what has come over me... I know I have never had this feeling before" I whisper close to her.
"Feeling? What feels" She asked, panicking.
"Hmm... don't get shocked but the truth is I think I'm falling for you already..."I whisper again to her...
"Don't go there... You... in fact...I'm done" She was about to stand up until I held her back to sit down.
"See...in my life... I haven't told anyone I love you and you are the first person I'm telling that... honestly at first... I didn't have this interest in you but I don't know suddenly even when you don't want to talk to me... I still have the feelings with me... honestly" I draw my chair closer to her and make sure she looks at me in the eyes.
"See I don't want to talk about this... can we discuss this some other time please..." She looks away and I quickly leave her.
"No problem... anytime but honestly I'm here to apologize for the way I've treated you... I'm sorry... and I promised not to do anything stupid when I'm around you..." I knelt with shock... in my life, I've never apologized to a lady this way but I don't know what came over me tonight.
"Stand up... what's wrong with you...Oops sorry... Please sir... I've forgiven you" At first she was lust and she quickly corrected herself and embraced me.
"I'm sorry" I stood up while continuing to eat the food.
Tonight was like one of the happiest days in my life and I was filled with joy as we went back home smiling and laughing at the same time.
