Chapter 23

"Hey...I'm sorry for lying in the first place...you know, I was just playing a prank on you... you know, sometimes, there is supposed to be fun in a friendship...I haven't said I love you yet but I'm trying to say I'm sorry for going too far on you"Jennifer walks slowly into Dean's room and pleaded with a low voice.
"I have heard you... please go to your room... and next time, knock before entering my room" I replied, still facing the mirror while dressing up my tie.
"Please, I'm sorry" She walked slowly towards me and I quickly stared at her for a minute.
"I said, I have heard you... please I'm going to work... Can you leave my room now" I looked away and quickly brought out my suitcase from my wardrobe?
"The fact that you are saying, you. heard me make me know that you are still mad at me... please I'm sorry... forgive me..." immediately, she knelt in front of me but I didn't give a shit about her.
"Fine... please lock the door when you are done kneeling... I'm late for work... take care of yourself...I love you" He whispered with his low voice and walked out of the room rudely.
"What did he mean that I love you... but... he's angry with me right...Hmm...I'm confused right now...Anyway, I shouldn't let that bother me... I need to eat right now" she was shocked and stood up while staring at every corner of my room.
'Hmm... this room is damn beautiful compared to the sitting room itself... look at the way he decorated it... wow! money is really good ' she whispered to herself and opened my drawer...
"Damn... what is he doing with all this body spray and perfumes... damn... is he selling cosmetics now? hmm... I think I'll steal some of this... but...what if there is a secret camera in here? No... I can't be found guilty over here and not in this room" She whispered to herself while walking away from the room.
"Oops... where is the key?" She quickly walked in again and took the key to the table.
"But seriously... Dean can't forgive me? And he has been offending me but I'm so in love that I forgive him easily... okay... if that is what he wants... then...I think we should just go back to our usual self in this house" She stammered to herself while locking his room before leaving to the sitting room.
"fuck... I'll be living in this house all alone... nice... today will be a nice day for me..."She jumped on the chair in the sitting room with joy, living in a very big house alone.
"Yes...Today... I'll...hmm...I don't even know what to do...Fuck... I'm tired... I should just eat my food" She quickly gets up and heads straight to the kitchen...
"Mum!!!! What are you doing here" She yelled while seeing Dean's mum already in the kitchen.
"I'm cooking...my dear" She turned to her and smiled, still putting ingredients in her dish.
"Mum... when did you get here?" She grumbled as her heart was filled with pain.
"Oh... it's not long though... I just came to prepare something for me to eat before going back to my apartment" She replied as I watched her quickly lower the cylinder.
"Mum... I thought you left... what are you doing here... you keep surprising us..." She grumbles hard and starts hitting her foot on the ground.
"It's my son's house... I have the right to come even at midnight... since I have the key..." She replied, staring at me as she quickly turned off the gas.
"Mum... I'm not saying that but it's shocking to see you... all of a sudden, I was thinking I was the only one in this apartment and I came to the kitchen and saw you... mum! it's unfair" She grumbled loudly like someone who was about to go insane.
"My dear... don't worry... next time, I'll tell you guys when I'm coming... by the way, why did you lie to him?" Dean's mum sat by the wall in the kitchen after folding her hands comfortably.
"Mum! I just wanted to play a prank on him but it was like, I took it too far... "She talks with a cracking voice and slowly walks closely beside Dean's mum.
"I don't know if he'll take it personally... I tried pleading with him this morning but he doesn't seem to look like someone willing to forgive me" Her voice lowered as she sat close to Dean's mum.
"It's not expensive my child...In everything, there is a good and bad side... but don't worry... I know my son... he's not angry and by the way, were you thinking of having sex with my son... because...(Chuckle) that thought is dangerous" Dean's mum smiled harder and was holding on to her laugh.
"Mum...No...I, I just... anyway never mind" She stammered "But mum... how do you know he's not angry because of the way he approached me in his room, mum... I don't believe he's angry with me" She commented again and folded her hands just like Dean's mum.
"I carried Dean for nine months and I have taken care of him since then... so... how will I not know my child... you see... Dean is a very brilliant kid... he knows what is right and wrong... he loves to see the inside of people before he fall for anything and that is exactly what he's trying to do to you... so if you are thinking you love him, he's still studying you and when he's serious, you'll know the right time" She explained as she tap me on my cheeks and tried leaving the kitchen but I held her hand.
"Mum... but he once said he loves me..." She commented with pity and let go of her hand.
Dean's mum didn't say anything but smile before leaving the kitchen.
"Fuck... hope I haven't done something wrong... I love Dean but why is my pride not making me show it out... damn...I'll be heartbroken once again" She yelled at herself in silent pain and was about to leave the kitchen.
"Damn... this woman didn't turn off the cylinder... damn... I'm lucky she blew it" She yelled and went back, offing the cylinder.

"Hello sir... please can I have a word with you" Dean looked back and saw that it was Jeffrey... he stared at him with a dangerous eye and was ready to snub him.
"Sir... please... wait for me... " Jeffrey quickly rushed and walked beside Dean.
"Yes, what is it?" Dean shouted just as an enemy of Jeffrey.
"Sir... can I buy you a drink... just once... please... you know since I have been here, we haven't had a drink together... please just once" he begged and I felt pity like someone asking for love.
"Fine... but I won't pay for anything" I stopped and for a moment, I requested to know what he was capable of.
"Fine...I'll pay for the bill" he answered and we both went straight to the restaurant.
Reaching the restaurant, everywhere was quiet and it just looked as if the restaurant was just made for two of us only.
"Sir... please order your food" Jeffrey requested while taking the seat closer to the door.
"Waiter...please bring two fried rice and four turkeys... please be fast about it" He yelled out after stretching his hands on the waiter.
"Ummm" Jeffrey murmured in silence and glanced at Dean with a wicked smile... deep down in him, he was about to check his pocket and know exactly how much he had but he decided to act cool.
"Please be fast" Jeffrey yelled at the waiter, whereas he was already.
Immediately as Jeffrey shouted, the waiter man sent forth the food and placed it on the table.
"Sir... please I have something to talk to you about," Jeffrey whispered while taking a bite of the turkey...
"Waiter... bring two glasses of champagne... are you insane..." Dean shouted while waving his hand at the waiter.
"Sir... champagne" Jeffrey murmured as his mouth was about to move but too hard to open.
"Yes... you were saying" Dean continued to eat up his food while Jeffrey was busy, angry, staring at him.
"Sir...sir...I said we have something to talk about" Jeffrey stammered with his broken voice and suddenly thought of how to escape the bill.
"Yes... I heard you the first time... what are we discussing about" Dean continued to rush his food like someone who hasn't eaten and didn't even look at me in the face.
"It's about... Jennifer..." Dean interrupted and yelled while looking at me.
"What... about Jennifer... what is happening?" He yelled and deep down in me, I felt shy to say anything.
"Sir... I like her and I don't...know..." Jeffrey talks as his voice lowered but Dean interrupt him with a shout again
"You don't know what? What is wrong with Jennifer... explained fast, please... I have somewhere to be" Dean yelled and immediately stopped eating his food.
"Sir... Calm down... there is no need for a shout... it just has to be a man talking...I love Jennifer and I don't know if you may let me have her" Jeffrey whispered and deep down, he's happy no one is in the restaurant...
"Hmm... it's funny... I should let you have her... don't worry... we'll talk about this some other time" Dean smiled while staring at him and continued to eat the food.
"Thank you, sir... I love Jennifer with all my heart and with your help, I know I can win her love" Jeffrey giggled with his heart full of joy.
"Thanks for the food... I need to get somewhere now" Dean stood up while using a napkin after eating.
"Sir...si..." Jeffrey stammered and words were unable to come out from his mouth.
"Waiter take... Keep the change" Dean deep his hand and his pocket and brought out money for the food and champagne.
"Someone who can't pay for a meal is in love with Jennifer," Dean laughed while leaving the restaurant.
"Is that an insult?" Jeffrey implored himself in silence.
"Hello...I'm waiting for you in delighted water.... please come over now" Dean called Jennifer on his way to his office.
"Ok... I'm heading there now" Jennifer replied and rushed to her room to get changed... Deep down, she's happy Dean has forgiven her and that is the more serious reason she has to be there.
Dean quickly rushed into his office and did some filing before locking the office.
He heads straight to the delighted water fountain and sits at the edge while waiting for Jennifer... He kept on thinking about how Jeffrey walked up to him boldly and asked him to step down for Jennifer, the love of his life.
Dean continues to think until he gets a touch on his back.
"Hi...I'm sorry for what happened earlier" Jennifer smears him and talks with her low voice making Dean get up and walk close to her.
"It's alright I'm not angry anymore... you know, if I'm angry I couldn't have called you here... " Dean held her and made her look him in his eyes.
"Sorry babe...but... why am I here" Dean was shocked to see her call him babe for the first time, making him believe Jennifer has also fallen for him.
"Oops... I... don't even....know..." Dean continued to scratch his head and look around the environment to look for a makeup story.
"Hmm... so you mean... I just rushed all the way here for nothing...Dean..." She was about to yell but was scared to anger Dean this time.
"You know... it's not bad... sorry is worth it... You know... sometimes, we can be doing this someday" Dean continued to scratch his head and was afraid to look her in the eye.
Dean leaned closer to her and his heart kept beating to kiss her.
He slowly closes his eyes and slowly draws his lip toward Jennifer's lip...
"Boss... Jennifer... Oh... I asked you for a favor and you accepted... Now you are here trying to kiss my girl... why are you like this" Jeffrey yelled as he distract the romantic moment between Dean and Jennifer
"Did you just follow me here?" Dean opens his eyes while staring at him but Jeffrey leaves in anger without saying a word.
