Chapter 29 Mystery

Chapter twenty-nine
Is this a dream? Or am I imagining things? How can Michael kiss me?
It feels so good but it's nothing compare to kissing Dave. Michael tastes like apple and watermelon but Dave tastes like some sort of alcoholic wine. I can't deny the strange feeling I'm having right now. It was the same I had when I kissed Dave. Maybe that's what kisses are meant to make you feel.
Michael pulls back slowly but my body is still glued to him like a snail in its shell.
"I'm sorry for kissing you but I couldn't continue to hide the way I feel about you," he pause slightly, and seriously, I felt my breath stop. What! Does Michael feel for me? " Do you know why I let go the boss and employee rule when I'm around you? I just didn't want to scare you off, "what! If only Michael knows how hard I've been waiting for him to talk to me. I would have said a yes immediately, "Even when I heard Dave kissed you I couldn't take it anymore was why I told you not to go out with him," Wait what! Does he know Dave kissed me? But well he doesn't know he kissed me for the fourth time, "He's dangerous, very. He hits on girls because he wants to sleep with them. And when he's done, he moves on to the next."
Ok, that reminds me of the fact that Dave asked me out on a date when we left the club. I was still laughing as a result of a joke cracked by a friend of his. Dave walk me to the door and say, "You enjoyed this night right?"
I smile and nod slowly, thinking about all the fun we had.
"How about I take you somewhere fun tomorrow too?" He had requested.
I thought about it and decided to go out with him. Michael will be busy anyways, with his new girlfriend. I wouldn't want to be a third party. Seeing them together will make me fall sick, "Yes," I agreed.
"Ok then, I will call you by 10 tomorrow morning. You should be ready by that time right?"
" Yes, I will be".
Back to the present alright. Well, I am just so short of words right now. But seriously, why is Michael talking as if he knows him, like someone so close to him at some point in their life. These two behave as if they are foes now but there's always this familiar aura around them. Micheal holds my hand and massages it lightly," Jones, I want you to be mine. I want you to be my girlfriend."
I could feel the butterfly burst up in me. I've been waiting for this for ages but then, I don't know why I'm being hesitant. I know I said I would accept his love immediately whenever he confess but why does it feel like my heart has been divided. Well, you can't blame me. I saw Michael kiss the other lady. And although he has explained, I can't help feeling a little off the edge. Have you seen this lady? I'm nothing compare to her. What if Michael still loves her. What if Michael eventually ends up with her. I can't believe I'm imagining so far but it's only normal to do that right? God, I love Micheal so much but I think I need some time to myself.
"Can you give me some time to think it through," I say and he smiles and rubs my palm? I grin at the action.
" I will give you as much time as you want. But promise me you won't go near Dave again, "his eyes sparkle as he says it. I couldn't resist it.
I nod my head severally, "Yes, I won't"
"Come here," he says and suddenly pulls me into a bear hug. This feels so good. I don't ever want to leave this position.
"How about I take you somewhere fun tomorrow too?" The voice rings in my head and I open my eyes. I'm on my bed alright and in my clothes. Michael is such a gentleman. I search around, for the clock and it's eight in the morning. But why did I have to dream about my last conversation with Dave? Wait, that reminds me! I need to tell Dave I won't have the time to see him today. I will just tell him any excuse so I won't have to see him again.
Where the fuck is my phone anyways. I search the bed for it but it's nowhere to be found. I remember putting it on the bed yesterday before I slept or was that a dream as well? I sincerely don't know what's real right now.
A knock and the door opens before I can even say something. Micheal walks in, clad in blue jean trousers and a white hoodie with his name written on the chest side. The backside holds a half drawing of the heart.
"Wake up sleepyhead," Michael moves to pull up the curtains. I close my eyes slightly at the action," I'm taking you out Jones," he says and pulls it back down," Should I give you more time?"
I shake my head slightly," I will get ready now"
He smile and that was when I notice a paper bag with him, "Wear this"
I take the bag and pull out the clothes. It's blue jeans and a white hoodie too. Wait for a second, it feels as though my hoodie holds the other part of the heart on Michael's hoodie. I check the front at the bold letters of Jones. I look up at Michael with a huge smile on my face, "When did you plan this?"
Michael smiles too, "Yesterday night".
Seriously? I'm amazed. How can they do this within hours? The person must be good.
"I will be back then," Michael says and walk out.
There's still something in the bag. I look inside at the sneakers in it. Wow, I've always dreamt of wearing something like this. It looks so beautiful. I'm sure today would be very much interesting. I enter the bathroom to brush my teeth and bathe.
Again, the other lady's thoughts enter my mind. What if she's planning on taking Michael? Well, there's no way I can compete with her. Gosh, I'm so wary.
I put on the Jean trouser and the hoodie. I look at myself in the mirror fasten close to the bathroom door. I look cute, alright. I wear my sneaker and walk out of the room. Michael is in front of his room, talking to a guy. When he sighted me, he rounds off his chat with him and walks to me.
"You look breathtaking," Michael says.
I smile and look away blushing, "Thanks"
"Can we go now?"
"Yes," I nod slightly. Michael holds my hand suddenly. I freeze for a moment and my heart race at his touch. Gosh, why do I love him so much?
We walk out of the hotel and there's a Camry car waiting for us. When we move closer, two guys open the front door. I smile slightly and enter the door. Michael enters the driver's seat and smiles down at me. My heart flutters. I'm so happy right now
Dave
I smile as I stare at the yacht. Jones is going to love it. I can't believe I'm anticipating this. I mean I had so much fun yesterday night too. I haven't had so much fun in years. Wait, why did I come to Dubai?
Jones has been avoiding my calls after the kissing prank. I don't even know why I kissed her. Why is she getting beautiful every day? And her lips are always so irresistible. Will someone remind me of who this girl is? She's the lady I embarrassed some days ago. I can't even think about it. The other time, I wanted to apologize to her before I was interrupted by Dad's call.
I've been feeling weird after that night. So, I tried to call her but she was always rejecting or avoiding it. I had someone spy on her and I got the information that Michael is coming for a business trip with Jones. It's a day business but plans three extra days. I even got the information about the hotel they would be. I took a flight immediately in my private jet. Wait, does Michael love Jone? He has always been so protective around her. But I thought Michael has a girlfriend, so why is he getting so close to her?
The thought alone is getting me upset. I'm supposed to take Jones out this morning by ten and it's nine already. OMG! I can't wait.
"Boss, it's all done," Mark says. Mark is one of my guards but he stays in Dubai. I employed him to watch over my yacht and he has been doing just that. I stare at the huge letters of Dave on the yacht and a huge smile escapes me.
'You can leave, "I say and he bows before walking away.
I should call Jones. I take my phone and dial her number. It rings severally but she didn't pick up. I try again and again. Is something wrong? What could have happened? But we did agreed to meet.
A call enters immediately. I pick it up, "Hello".
"Yes, boss. Miss Jones and Mr. Michael just left in Mr. Michael's car. I think they are going out on a date".
My heart sinks and I could feel pangs of sadness cover me. I can't believe it's happening again. It feels as though the past is repeating itself. Do I seriously have to endure Michael all the time? Why is he always after anything I'm after? Why can't he just take his hands off my case? He's always interested in things that pleases me
Maybe this was not entirely his fault. I caused this. Well, who would know Jones would soon grow to be someone I want to relate with. I mean, I just can't control myself around her. I want to do something wild with her, I want to have her all.
I squeeze my head at the realization. Why is my feeling for her increasing by the day? Gosh! This is so upsetting. Why the hell is she not even picking my calls! Gosh, I feel so angry now.
"Call me immediately they come back," I say into the receiver. I hear a slight 'yes' before hanging up
I look at the yacht again and hiss. I've been preparing for nothing. I'm going back to the hotel.
Jones
Going out with Michael was fun. We went to this popular restaurant for our breakfast. I've always watched it in movies and imagined it in reality. I've never for once believed I would eat under the water. It was a beautiful sight to behold and well, I took some pictures to show to Sam. After that, we went to a movie. I don't like going to the cinemas, I prefer home videos. But with Michael, I would try something new. The movie was about a lady that loved two guys, Ryan and Macho. I don't even believe that's true. Like how can someone have feelings for two people at the same time? I think it's just movies because it can never really happen. Well eventually, she ended up marrying the second guy. The thing was that she met and fell in love with Macho before she knew Ryan. But to her, she felt like she started loving Macho after she fell in love with Ryan. Ryan is the gentle and reserved guy in this movie while Macho is wide and doesn't believe in love. I don't know why the gentle guys always get defeated in movies. If I was the lady, I would go for Ryan. But it's not possible, I can never love two guys at the same time. I only love Michael,I can't love someone else asides him.
