Chapter 14

MY BOSS AND I
*He is cold but I'm humorous*


Jacinta's Pov

I'm in my room not knowing what to do at the moment.

The bed is comfortable but the clothes ain't comfortable to sleep with.

Someone is knocking and obviously we all know who it is.

Damian.

"I brought this for you. You can sleep in it until we get clothes for you" he says handing over his....T-SHIRT!

It's a black t-shirt with the label spider man.

Really Now?

But I need it anyway.

"Thank you" I say as I take it.

Aww! This is so cute of him.

I've locked the door and you can guess what I'm doing.

Yes, I'm smelling it.

Wow, he uses nivea for men.

It smells like tropical too.

I like it.

I'm actually heading for a shower so I can put it on right away.

.............
I'm done with the shower and I'm putting it on.

Aww it's so cute!

It's big and baggy but I love it.

This is the first time a man has given me his shirt.

When I was 5 years old, I used to take my dad's shirt and pretend to be him.

Now I miss him so much.

Their death anniversary is soon coming.

My mom would sing me a lullaby every night before I slept.

All I have now is memories of her sweet voice.

I still remember that Disney lullaby she used to sing for me every night.

I have nothing left apart from memories, memories and memories.

Memories are the best things to have in this life but if they ain't worth keeping, forget them.

Especially memories of things you don't like and things that ain't pleasant to you.

I always try to forget how my parents died but something always drags me back to them.

Something like the elevators, the things around me and ...my greedy family members.

I remember that night when Jessie and I ran from home.

The first person to go to was our father's bestfriend, Mr Dan Montenegro but... we were kicked out like homeless dogs.

He was actually the first person to praise us and take care of us when our parents were alive, but at that moment, he called us spoilt brats.

We then went over to our mom's sister but she said we were going to be a burden to her.

She gave us food in a paper bag and closed the door on us.

I remember she used to treat us well and even asked us to spend the holidays at her place since she was bored but... She never gave us a home at that moment.

We gave up on looking for other relatives.

We dint want to trouble anyone any more.

I promised myself never to beg for anything from any of my relatives.

I will fight on my own.

Can you imagine, a stranger found us sleeping in the streets and took us in even when she dint have enough herself?

Sometimes your own can disown you but strangers can make a family with you.

I learnt that 2 years ago.

I can't trust just anyone.

I just want to make money, educate my sister, accomplish my dream and make our lives with miss Saira comfortable.

Damian's Pov

I wonder how she looks in my t-shirt.

It's actually one of my favourite ones.

I like blue and black.

I wonder if she is asleep already.

Why am I thinking about her?

Maybe it's because it's my first time sleeping with a girl in my house.

I hope she ain't a theif coz these people can't be trusted at all.

I will ask her not to return the t-shirt to me.

I can't share a t-shirt with a poor person, especially a girl!


Aaah! Let me stop thinking about her.

Let me sleep now.

........................

Night is over and now it's dawn.

I'm actually up early since I'm expecting the mall people to come to my house.

I can't risk Jacinta's life by taking her to the mall again.

The mall people have to come for her with the clothes before we head out to work.

I'm getting a call from the mall people.

I think they are on their way.

"We've reached your gate sir, your bodyguard won't let us in" says one of the mall attendants.

"Hand him the phone" I say and tell Samson to let them in.

I've hang up and I'm heading to her room to check if she is awake.

.........

I've been knocking but she ain't answering I think she went downstairs.

I'm heading down now to check.

I want to head out for my work out after I finish up with the mall people.

What's that smell?

Something yummy!

It smells like omelettes.

Is it what I'm thinking?

Is Jacinta in my kitchen?

Yes, she is cooking!

Does she know how to use my electric cookers? I mean, she is poor right?

Wait, why is she looking so sexy in my t-shirt?

The t-shirt is huge for her but she is looking nice.

It reaches up to her butt and covers her thighs slightly.

She has brown sexy thighs which seem to be very soft.

She is trying to reach for something at the high cupboard but she can't reach for it.

She tiptoes and the t-shirt gets lifted slightly on her right side exposing alitte of her butt and her pink underwear.

"Damian stop staring and help her!" My mind is telling me that and my legs are already moving.

..................................................................................

Jacinta's Pov

I've woken up feeling hungry and decided to make breakfast for me and Damian.

I'm making omelettes and tea.

The water is ready and I just need the tea leaves now but the cupboard is so high.

I'm trying to reach for it but it's still high even when I'm tiptoeing.

I feel like someone is walking towards and I turn to see Damian.

He is already standing so close to me and I don't know why I feel uncomfortable.

He raises his hand and reaches the cupboard but his body is so close to me right now and my face is reddening.

I can smell his tropical scent.

"What did you want to take?" He asks and I feel his warm breath against my face as he speaks.

"T...t...tea leaves" I say but I don't know why I'm stammering like a stupid fool.

He brings it out and gives it to me but he is still standing close to me.

"Boss, the people are here" says Samson who startles us and Damian moves away quickly.

"Who is here?" I ask coz I don't know of any visit.

"Turn off the cooker and follow me outside to the garden" he says and goes out but then stops after two steps.

"Wait for me here!" He says and goes up to his room.

I turn off the cooker and I'm waiting for him.

He is coming down with a jacket.

Is he thinking I will catch a cold?

Wait, he is tying it around my waist.

"The t-shirt is too short. Your butt will get exposed to the male attendants outside. That's not good" he says

Wow! Since when did he start caring about me?

What's happening?

"Which attendants are you talking about?" I ask but he pulls me out to the yard.

What? Did he bring the whole mall at home?

For me?
