Chapter two

I walked him to the swimming pool and his mum followed put smiling non-stop.

"This house has a new feeling son don't you think?"

"It the same as it always has been"He replied and I wondered if he was the same person I had talked to last night or this was how he truly is?

*Rude!*

His mum frowned and turned to me.

"I will be leaving soon but before that i am having a picnic at my house and I would like it if you guys come".

"I thought it a women gathering. what am I to do there?"

"It doesn't matter.I just want you to be out other than locked up in this house. You deserve your Emancipation"She said and he laughed.

"Am not a prisoner mum besides what am to do there in this condition?. I can't even sit on the picnic blanket with you guys it best you host it and Invite your friends over".

I watched him for a while and knew he considers himself useless because of the condition he was in.

"Alright".His mum said almost in tears.

"Son take care of her very well as she was the one who saved your life. She brought you to the hospital alive and I will forever be indebted to her and I hope you are too"She said and whispered in my ears

"Don't mind his words please try and make my son normal back again".

I knew she wanted a miracle but was my boss ready or better still ready to allow his miracle take place instead of condemning himself.

"Bye mum"He said his eyes facing the pool.

She walked away.

"Can't you bite your tongue at least for a while?I mean it your mum you are talking to like that?".I said upset I watched her cry out.

"Um excuse me?"He said facing me.

"May I remind you am your boss and you mind the way you talk to me?. Am grateful you saved my life but my family issues is none of your business. You work for me and not my mum so stop trying to be her savior and lastly if you still value your job you keep your suggestions and opinions to yourself and not me".

"Am sorry sir"

"You better be"He said and moved away.

"Um sir you asked for this"I said opening the big room door.

"Don't you knock?"He asked watching me.

"Am sorry"I immediately said my eyes closed.

"I hope you like what you had seen?"I heard him say.

*What sort of question was that I never knew he was shirtless?*

"Here is your shirt sir"I said walking away.

"Keep it on the bed will you?"He said and I opened my eyes.

I dropped it on the bed and was about leaving when I heard

"Wait!"He commanded.

"Sir?"I answered.

"Close that door and come cream me"He said giving me a smirk.

"What did you say?"

"Am sure I wasn't speaking Chinese when I said I want you to come cream my body"

"I can't do that Sir"

"Why not?. Are you not paid to do so? You are my personal maid and your duty is to take care of me not follow me about. You either cream my body or leave my house"

I thought about leaving the job for a while and I knew I would never get any better one. This man has got to get a taste of his own medicine if he doesn't know how to treat a woman I don't mind teaching him.

I closed the door and demanded for the cream.

"Be gentle okay"He said turning the wheelchair to his back.

He leaned over while I applied some cream on my hands and then I applied it on his back.

"Your hands are soft"He complimented.

I continued not muttering a word.

"Tell me is this your first time dressing a Man?"He asked shocking me.

"Yes"I replied softly.

"I see. I thought you had a lot of boyfriend's and you were used to it by now"

"I don't".I said biting my lips was he trying to call me a slut!

"Why?. You have such nice hands and men should be after you?"He asked and I stopped applying the cream.

"Am not comfortable with such questions sir"I said and he turned to face me.

"Cream here"He said starring at me.

"Why aren't you comfortable?"He asked starring at me and I looked away.

"Jane"He called softly noticing I was frowning.

"Sir"I answered.

My hands reaching his chest,he dragged me close making me sit on his laps.

"Am sorry I hurt you"He said and I couldn't mutter a word.

"It..it.. okay sir"I stammered.

"It not. You are hurt"

"Am okay"I said but my eyes failed me letting out tears from it.

"I will be fine"I said but he held my hands.

"You shouldn't be doing this. Quit this job and leave me alone. Am a monster and I don't need anyone's help. I want you to tell my mum you are fed up of me and you want to quit your job. I don't want anyone help. Am fine like this"

He said wiping my tears.

"What do you mean?"I asked and he made eye contact with me.

"Am tired of hurting people. My condition isn't making me act right. I just want to be left alone to die peacefully and watch everyone live happily while I still can"

"What are you planning on doing?"

"Nothing. Don't think I want to commit suicide. Nah I can't take such risk besides I met you"

I didn't understand what he meant until his lips was on mine.

I didn't know what to do. I closed my eyes and then I opened it and pushed him.

I stood up immediately.

"Stay away from me"I screamed and ran out.

*What does he take me for?*

*Who does he see me as?*

*Why did he disrespect me like that by kissing me without even asking?*

*I need to go*

I ran out to the garden crying my eyes out.

"Jake why are you so unlucky with women I mean you couldn't even express your feelings to her"

"She is so beautiful not to like and innocent too. I need to apologise to her"

I walked out of the house asking everyone for her but no one knew where she was.

It was getting late and I couldn't find her,I decided to try the garden and just there I heard a loud cry.

I walked to where I heard the cry and there I saw Jane crying her eyes out.

"Jane.."I called out.

She stared at me and wiped her tears.

"Am sorry"

"Let me be please"

"I can't do that"

"Why can't you?"

"I don't know. Am really confused about how I feel when am around you".

"Why did you kiss me?. Don't you have at least a little respect for me?. Who do you take me for?"

"I couldn't resist you"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I just can't explain how I feel around you. I desperately wanted your lips on mine"

"Without my permission"

"Am sorry"

"What am I to you?"

"What do you want to be to me?"

"I can't be your maid and still taste your lips"

"I didn't say I wanted you to do that. The kiss was just a mistake let consider it as that and probably let it slide I promise I won't try it again".

"Hmm" I said and got up.

"It best considered that"

"Yes"I said and she smiled.

"Are we friends now?"I asked her watching her wipe her tears.

"If you learn to behave I don't see why not?"

"I feel like am going to get punished for kissing you"

"When I think of a suitable punishment I will let you know"

"Wow that serious"

"My virgin lips wasn't kept to get disvirgined in one night"

"I didn't know you haven't kissed anyone before. Again am sorry"

"I understand. Am forced to"

"Alright enough of bad things. Let talk about good things"

"Like what?"

"I want your bedroom close to mine"

"What!"

"Relax I meant am transferring your room close to mine"

"Why?"

"You are my personal maid after all I want you close to me so any time I call you answer"

"Alright sir"

"Call me Jake, Jane"

"Jake? You are my boss"

"I don't like been called sir from you it makes me look old"

"I don't see you as an old man"

"Well, you make me feel like one anytime you call me sir"

"It's not my intention to"

"Can I hold your hands?"

"Hmm sure"

"Thank you"I said holding her hands.

"Your hands are really soft"

"Thank you"

"No I should be thanking you for the honor you gave me"

"Am glad you are happy"

"I feel the same. To be sincere I have never been this happy in a long time"

*I was happy he was improving*

"Tell me how you had an accident?"

"An ex I don't want to talk about"

"Ex?"

"What Ex?"

"Catherine let me devastated. I caught her in bed with my best friend"

"That irritating"

"And disgusting too. I planned on proposing to her and that was how I got blessed with her dirty deeds"

"What was her response?"

"She told me I wasn't a real man and that I was nothing to her".

"Who was she to say such?"

"She considered me useless because I refused to satisfy her sexually".

"What?. That absurd".

"She got my best friend to do it free of charge. They got married after my surgery"

"That really cruel"

"It's all in my dark past and I don't want us to talk about it again please".

"Sure, it's best it is in the past".

"Yes. So tell me why you have never had a boyfriend?"

"I haven't found the right person"

"I don't mind being one"He said shocking me.

"That just you saying things you don't believe in"

"Oh really"

"Yes"

"You are actually the best girlfriend"

"We haven't even dated"

"Strange things happen and at least for someone to be in love they don't need to follow the books. Meaning not every love story start with a first date"

"It best we don't walk on clouds"

"You sure?"He asked and I nodded.

"Alright. Friendship it is"He said and I smiled.

"It late already. Let go to bed"I suggested standing up.

"Yes. Um could you take me there?"He asked smiling.

"I don't mind doing so"I said and took him there.

"Could you help me to the bed?"He asked and I held his hands while he tried reaching for the bed.

We both fell on the bed and I on him.

My lips on his.

I tried getting up releasing my lips from his but I was stuck.

He watched me for a while surprised as I was. He noticed I was struggling with my zip on his shirt and he tried helping out but still he couldn't.

He dragged me back to him and smiled on seeing my surprised face.

"I don't think the universe want us to be just friends"He whispered softly to my ears.

I couldn't believe I had a soft blush on my cheeks.

*I blushed on hearing that*

*Jane what wrong with you?*

"Please let me go"I begged.

"Your zip is stuck to my shirt"He said and smiled.

"Help me unstuck it"

"Why?. I like you this close"

The whole house was silent and it was not difficult to guess that the maids and the bodyguards were asleep.

I didn't mutter a word.

He held my hair shoving it to the back.

"I love to watch you blush"

*What does he mean?*

"Please let me go"I insisted and he smiled noticing my heart was beating fast as my body was close to his chest.

"Are you scared of me Jane?"He asked softly.

"No.."My words failing me.

I couldn't look him in the eye.

I wasn't scared of him,I was scared of loving him. I didn't want to wake up one-day and find out he was only using me to amuse himself and nothing more.

I didn't want my feelings getting betrayed and most importantly I wasn't sure about my feelings for him.

"You aren't saying anything"I heard him say.

"It best I say nothing".

"Hmm. Your silence kills me"He said and I looked up at him.

My finger on his lips.

"Please don't say that"

"You are making me say such"

"No"I said and he smiled.

"Alright. I won't say those words if you don't keep me wondering what you are thinking".

"Alright I won't keep quiet"I said and he smiled.

"Looks like you are sleeping with me tonight"He said and winked.

"Don't act naughty please"I said and he laughed.

"I won't. Am as holy as the Virgin Mary"

"Don't make me laugh"

"Sure I won't. I only want to see you blush"He said and I smiled.

"Goodnight love. Mind if I call you that?".

"Yes. We aren't dating".

"Technically we are. You are on me right now and am trying not to kiss you badly".

"Am sleeping. Good night".

"Wow that harsh".

"In Jesus name"

"Spiritual I see"He said and I closed my eyes.

"Father Lord we thank you for today and everything you have done in both our lives we say blessed be your name".

"Amen"

"We plead for mercy and we ask that you mercy us o Lord".

"Amen"

"We commit tomorrow into your hands and we shall sleep and wake up with good health in Jesus name".

"Amen".

"Sir! Sir Jake! Sir!"I heard waking up.

I tried getting up and my clothes were torn revealing my bra which I had on.

I turned searching for something to wear.

"You are up already"I heard and I dragged the bedsheets.

"Someone is knocking"I said my back facing him.

"Who?"

"I think it Mary"

"Alright. Could you help me with my wheel chair?"
