Chapter 26

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


Jessie's Pov

"Is Damian confessing his love to my sister?" I ask and aunt Saira turns to look at me as I do the same.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! We are rich!" We both scream at the same time and laugh.

I can hear the neighbours yelling that we are too loud.

I don't care!

My sister is going to date a rich guy and so I will be rich too.

At the show, the people around are clapping for them as.... what?!

Damian is hugging my sister!

Awww!

"Aunt Saira, I want to get a man like him. Does he have a brother who is like him?" I ask and aunt Saira hits my hand.

Ouch!

"You are still very young to be thinking about such things. Let's just wait for our baby to bring money home" says aunt Saira and we both laugh.

Money money money!

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

Jacinta's Pov

Damian is hugging me soo tight infront of everyone.

The cameras and lights are all on us.

The whole world will now think we are dating.

Damian went too far with this act.

Or...is it true that he did it for love?

Does he love me?

I ain't thinking straight right now until Mian tells me the truth.

The Mc and the guest of honour are presenting the awards to us and many pictures are being taken.

Mian is holding me close to him and he is smiling.

I can't stop looking at him even when he is leading me out with the awards.

Samson has just joined us and he carries the gifts to the car as people and reporters are still following us.

I hardly hear what they are saying I'm just glued to Mian's face.

We will be travelling to Africa tonight itself.

We have to get home and pack up.

I should be jumping with joy since this what I wanted but no, my heart is just feeling different.

We are now in the car but I'm still silent.

First, Mian kissed my lips, second he said he loves me, on stage!

Samson keeps honking since journalists have surrounded our car still taking pictures and the car is slowly making it's way out of the place.


It's already 9pm according to my wrist watch.

Our flight is scheduled for 10:30pm and I still don't know which country we are going to in Africa.

"According to the rules, we are supposed to pick two countries in Africa. One week in one country, one week in the other. Which countries do you want to go to?" He asks but I just can't find words in my mouth.

I'm so blank right now.

"Are you okay? Are you thinking about what happened?" He asks and starts to laugh.

"What's funny?" I ask

"Wow you can talk! I though you had gone dumb!" He says

"Stop it Mian!" I say and push him slightly.

"So tell me, where do we go first? The couple team wants to do the booking for us before we get there" he says

"Before that, why did you say all those words to the people?" I ask

"What words?" He asks as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"When you said you did all that for love and that you...love..me. " I say and I don't know why I stammered the last words.

"Was it all true or was it just an act?" I ask as he is still silent.

"Take it as you like. You can take it as a joke or as a truth. Just the way you like it" he says.

"Then I take it as a joke" I say that just to get his reaction but his face is expressionless.

"Okay" he says and stays silent.

Is he hurt?

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

Damian's Pov

She takes it as a joke.

What do I have to say.

I don't know myself whether I was saying the truth or I was just acting.

Anyway she takes it as a joke so whether it's true or not, I don't care.

I just want to see her happy.

We're both silent right now but I don't want it to seem as if I'm angry about her words.

"There are so many beautiful countries in Africa. Which is your favourite?" I ask.

"I love all of Africa but I want to visit Kenya as my second country. Many people talk of Kenyan wildlife and Kenyan food. I want to try that. I also heard of fufu in Nigeria, I want to try it too. I also want to see the Uganda dance and bananas. I want to taste Ugandan Matike. I hope that's what they call it" she says and I laugh at her pronunciation.

"It's Matoke. So Kenya as our last country to visit. Now is it Nigeria or Uganda?" I ask

"I don't know about that but let's leave it to Jessie and aunt Saira" she says and I agree.

"Let's head out to pack first then we will visit them to say goodbye as we head to the airport. I have a gift for them anyway" I say

"What's that?" She asks curiously

"None of your business!" I say and get out of the car since we are already home.

"Not fair Mian" she Yells as she runs after me.

"Everything is fair in love and war!" I say and I'm opening the door to head upstairs but she bumps on it and shuts it.

She is now blocking my entrance.

"Tell me!" She says

"I won't. Let me in" I say

"I won't let you in unless you tell me" she says

"Let me in, else..." I say

"Else what? You are going to kiss me? Like you did on stage?" She asks bravely as if she wants to kick my ass.

"Yes I will do that if you won't let me in" I say

"Jerk! Tell me Mian!" She says pouting her lips and I smile since I like her reaction.

She is like a small baby around me.

She keeps me active.

I move in close to her and I expect a slap but she doesn't slap me. Infact she has closed her eyes.

I wasn't going to kiss her anyway.

"You don't need this since we are now home. Take a quick shower and change" I say as I pull off the jacket from her waist and she opens her eyes.

"Jerk!" She says again and her face shows that she is blushing.

"You are affected when I'm around you. Look at that blush" I say and smile on her face.

"You ain't the only one that can make others blush. I can make you blush too" she says

"Do it! Let me see" I say.

Did I just invite trouble or was she waiting for me to say that?

She has just circled her arms around my neck and she is pulling me closer to her.

I can feel her soft lips on my neck and it's really giving me this kind of feeling that is amazing.

My eyes have closed on with just that.

How could she control me so quickly?

She has pulled off but my eyes are still shut until I hear her laughing and she has opened the door.

She is racing upstairs to her room still laughing and I shake my head before heading up as I hold the place she kissed on my neck.

Writer's Pov

Stella is so angry right now and she is at Damian's house but he is not there.

Just his parents are home today and they come out hearing Stella cursing at the top most of her voice.

"Stella? What wrong? Why are you here?" Asks Damian's mother, miss Selina Merkian.

"Everything is wrong!" Says Stella crying.

"Come down first and tell us what's wrong" says Mr Merkian.

"Damian is cheating on me! Didn't you watch the news? It's all over that he is dating someone else!" Says Stella

"What?" The couple says in shock.

"Yes! He is cheating on me with a poor, ugly girl. Am I not his fiancee?" Asks Stella angrily.

"Damian Damian Damian! This boy is going to kill me! Just cool down. Selina, Take her in. Let me handle this situation" says Mr Merkian and he is calling his men to look for Damian all over the country and bring him home.

As that happens, Mian and Jacie are now at Jacie's home.

Miss Saira has given chairs to them and they are saying farewell to each other.

"Miss Saira, Jessie, My bodyguard Samson will come for you early in the morning tommorrow. He will take you to see a gift I bought for you. I hope you will like it" says Damian

"What gift is that? I love gifts" says Jessie excitedly.

"Shut up you little one. Dont you know that its a suprise?Thank you Mr Merkian" says aunt Saira

"Just call me Mian" he says but Jacie is sad because she does not know about the gift.

"Why are you sad siz? You should be happy you are going to Africa" says Jessie

"She is sad because she wants to know about the gift I bought for you" says Damian

"Just that? Listen baby, just go to Africa and I will tell you about it when you come back. You will even see it if it's not an eatable gift. Happy now?" Asks Aunt Saira

She sure knows how to handle Jacie's moods since she nods in agreement.

"Which country should i visit between Uganda and Nigeria?" Asks Jacinta

"Uganda!" says Jessie excitedly and imagines of the Ugandan Dance.

"Nigeria baby!" Says Miss Saira and imagines of Nigerian fufu.

"So which is which? Nigeria or Uganda?" Asks Damian

"Nigeria!" Yells miss Saira

"Uganda!" Yells Jessie and they almost have a fight because each wants the opposite country of the other.

I also don't know whether I should go to Uganda or Nigeria.

So my favourite readers, tell me.

Is it Uganda or Nigeria?

Is it Matoke or fufu?
