Chapter 18: Emilia and Bob

I was laying down in my room feeling so weak and tired from the workout earlier this morning when I heard a bang on my door and before I could stand and walk to open the door he barged in and I was with just my pant and bra on, thought it was Emilia but was surprised to see him and I tried covering myself with my hands but was able to cover up some part and leaving large some of the flesh showing, and he smirks his lips together and I muttered within me that it has happened, he only stood there and stare at me gulp and gulp over and over again and smirk his lips again and again.
“What, why stare at me like that, like you are seeing me for the very first time,”? I asked.
“Oh my gosh you are so beautiful and you have got the sexiest body ever,” he said as kept on smirking his lips over and over again.
“Sorry, what did you say,”? I asked.
“What, sorry what are you saying, sorry I am actually looking for Emilia, have tried her cell not reachable and have checked her room but she's not there as well and I have checked everywhere on this premises and she's nowhere to be found,” he said.
“But we came back from the morning exercise together and she went straight to her room and me to mine and I have no idea where she would be or where she went to, thought she was in her room though,” I said.
“No, I thought she was here and that's why I barged in the way I did, sorry,” he said.
“No, she's not here as you can see,” I said.
“So where could she be,? He asked wearing a sad and worrying face.
“Why to worry yourself about her she's not a baby and she can take care of herself, she is a grown woman and she knows the city too well I guess,” I said.
“Yes she does but that's not what I am worried about,” he said.
“So since she knows the city, then what are you afraid of,”? I asked.
“You won't understand, well it's nothing you don't have to worry yourself about it,” he said as he kissed me and pecked my left cheek and left and that felt good though. But then I can't help to worry where she might have gone too and without the knowledge of anyone and now his brother is worried about, but why worry about a grown-ass woman or does she have any addiction of a sort that he is afraid of. Then I stepped back into my room and short the door just to go back to my bed and I was left in shock and I screamed so loud on top of my voice as I turned back only to find Emilia standing and smiling.
“What, why screaming on the top of your voice like you just saw a ghost,”? She asked.
“What are you doing here, how and when did you get into my room and where did you hide,”? I asked in surprise.
“Come off that will you, don't act so surprised like you are seeing a ghost because I am not, I walked in while you were in the shower and I was actually in your wardrobe,” she said.
“Oh my God what was the meaning of what you did, now you have gotten your brother all so worked up trying to get to you, and what happened to your cell he tried reaching you but all to no avail,” I asked.
“My cell is in my room and I switched it off so I came here because I know if he looks for me and did see me this the next bus stop for him to come to look for me, but anyways I have gotten what I want and now I am satisfied with what I just saw,” she said.
“What did you see and what are you talking about,”? I asked.
“I didn't see anything and neither say anything, but I know what I saw and I am equally satisfied with it,” she said.
“Hey, Emilia it's not what you think okay,” I said.
“What do you know I am thinking right now,” she said as she laugh out loud and fell on my bed there she laid for a while, while I stood and watch.
“Okay fine, you are right, I am in love with your brother my boss but I can't let my feeling jeopardise my work and my career,” I said.
“Will you come down from that high horse of yours and fight for what is right in front of you before another woman like Isabella who has been fighting for ages takes it away from you,” she said.
As I moves closer to her on the bed, smirked my lips.
“But how do I do that, I can't force myself on your brother so he won't see me as cheap or a gold digger,” I said.
“You don't have to force yourself on anyone and no one is seeing you as a cheap girl or a gold digger you know why,”? She asked.
“No, I don't,” I said.
“Because the feeling is mutual, he also feels the same for you,” she said.
“But how do you know that,”? I asked.
“Based on what I just saw here and what I heard, my dear friend my brother loves you,” she said.
“Sorry, but if I may ask, why do you like me this much to extend you wanting me to be your brother's girlfriend and you don't even know that much,”? I asked.
“Cynthia I don't need to know you that much to know that you are good for my brother, I am a woman like you and when I see a gold digger I would know and when I see true love I will also know,” she said.
“But I can't be dating my boss,” I said.
“Have you asked yourself why I came here, like my brother rightly said I don't stay here weekends, but have you asked why undecided to stay for the weekend, just to get to know you and I know this just two days of our stay together but to me, it's been like forever, because you are kind, nice and generous, so dating your boss isn't it a bad thing,” she said.
I was just short of words and dumbfounded when I heard all this from her sister my mouth was wide open and my head was spinning and spinning that I just had to lie tummy flat on the bed and there is this butterfly in my tummy that I can't explain, I muttered and was soliloquizing to myself alone.
“I guess I should take my leave and go see to my brother that was looking for me and know why he was looking for me, but in the meantime stop pondering and take an action for action speaks louder than words or voice could,” she said and left the room, but I could still feel the butterfly in my tummy it felt like I have won a lottery game worth billions of dollars.
“But though come to think of it, if any woman could have Bob to herself she has won more than a billion dollars because he is worth more than that, but I am not after the money but his love and affection,” I said.
Checked the time it was almost noon, then I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch but then didn't know what to prepare and decided to go ask him what he would like to take for lunch but when I got to this room and wanted to knock and I heard his voice and that of Emilia having an argument and exchanging words.
“Come on Bob you are no longer a kid and you growing and getting older by the day and you need to settle down and build a family of your own, or do you just want to be jumping from one lady to another, aren't you tired of that shit,”? Asked Emilia.
“You don't know me and you don't know what I want okay, so stop the act and stop questioning me on things you know nothing about,” he said.
“Okay allow me to ask you this, what about Cynthia what plans do you have for her because I don't expect you to play games with her, just like you did with others,”? Emilia asked.
“And who told you that I Bob have a thing for Cynthia, she's not even my class and standards, she's nothing but just a common secretary at the office who lost her home because she couldn't afford to pay her bill, that is it and that's all,” he said.
“Are you sure about that and that's all that you feel for her because I can say otherwise and that lady you called a common lady actually cares about you a lot and you have led on and now you want to hurt her feelings just like that, listen to me little brother amongst all the girls I have seen you with miss Cynthia Anderson is the best for you take it or leave it,” said Emilia.
