Chapter 4

    Prisca got up the next morning feeling a lot better, she called her personal assistant  to inform her of her leave and to instruct her to bring whatever important thing she needs to do or sign straight to the house and reschedule the not so important ones. When she was done with the call, she entered the bathroom, brushed her teeth and took a relaxing bath. She wore a gray jogger and a black T-shirt and then but her hair up in a messy bun.                                                              Prisca laid on the bed thinking, she needed to speak with Jason. Surely she didn't like the way he left angrily yesterday. He wasn't even at dinner last night. She went downstairs to the living room to check for him but he wasn't there but her parents were instead. Jane saw prisca coming down the stairs. "How are you dear? ".              "Oh hi mum, hi dad" she said as she kissed them on the cheek.                        "No work today?" Her father asked with  one eyebrow raised.                           "Oh no dad, I'm on leave".                        "Oh fucken finally".                                    "Language Chris"Jane warned as she rolled her eyes.                                           "Anyways, has anyone seen Jason? ".       "He should be in his room, why are you asking?". he eyed her suspiciously                                              "oh no reason, I just wanted to thank him for taking care of me yesterday". she said innocently.                                   "Oh ok then".                                                 "Yeah so see you guys later"she said as she went up the stairs towards jason's room. Prisca knocked on the door but got no response.                              "Jason? Open up its prisca" she said knocking again."I just want to talk okay".                                                              When she got no response again, she sighed and was about to turn back when the door opened. Jason stared at her for a couple of seconds with an expression she couldn't fanthom. He didn't look cheery but he didn't look happy either. "What do you want? " he asked giving her a hard glare.           "Can you at least let me in?"                   He opened the doorwider and made way for her to come in.                                 She walked towards the bed and sat down beside him. Jason didn't know how to feel or react, he felt so mad and jealous after what happened yesterday. But the truth was that he didn't have the right to feel anything, its not like they were in a relationship, but he still felt used. Damn he like this girl more than he should he thought.  he knew what they were doing was just fun for prisca and that's what hurt him the most because he knew nothing serious was going to happen between them.                                                         "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday ".                                                    He said nothing but stare at her. "Which instance exactly?"he asked.       She didn't know which instance to apologize for; telling him to dress her, dry-humping him or for almost kissing him, which she still felt like doing as she stared at his soft lips.          "Miss prisca?".                                                She blinked and spoke"I'm sorry for everything that happened yesterday, and for also putting your job on the line. If the door wasn't locked, you would've been jobless by now".                  "Its not like it's  any of my business, but don't you feel guilty for cheating on your boyfriend with your bodyguard?" He asked with an irritated look on his face.                              Prisca looked at him for some seconds and then burst into laughter. Jason was confused, why was she laughing? He thought, he didn't say anything funny.                                                    "Oh sorry"she snorted uncontrollably. "Its just that grayson And I have been best friends since like forever, and he's gay!"she bursted into laughter again.                                             "Oh".                                                             "Well once again, I'm so sorry Jason if I made you feel uncomfortable at any point yesterday".                                        "It won't happen again so I can forget it"he said blatantly                                "ok good" were the words that came out of her mouth but her gaze was somewhere else. She wondered what it would be like to kiss him, to finally taste him.                                                   "Are you ok miss.evans? "He asked. She snapped out of it and decided to leave before she does something that they will both regret. But he pulled her back a bit roughly that  there was no space between and her palms pressed against his chest.                "Jason?"she called out as her heartbeat quickened. She quickly separated herself from him, a frown placed on her face. He looked at her and laughed at himself, God he was such a hypocrite, he said one thing and then next moment he does the exact opposite.                                                 "I'm so sorry miss. Prisca, I don't know what came over me" he place his hands on her arms. "Look, when we get back from work Lets-".                 "I'm on leave"she cut him off with a smile.                                                             "Oh okay that's really good, you need a break" he said smiling lightly. His phone chimed with a message from her father. "Seem like I have to run some errands for your dad, I will call you so that we can make out time to talk".                                                                "You have my number?"she asked.        "Yes,  your father gave it to me just like he gave you mine. I'm your bodyguard afterall".                                     "It's okay to call me by my first name you know".                                                      "So when I'm done, I'll call you"he repeated. She nodded and left the room.                                                                                

  Prisca's phone has been vibrating repeatedly. Fibally, she picked up the phone lazily and squinted at the screen. 1:30am, who the heck calls someone at 1:30 in the morning she thought. "What the hell"she mumbled.

Her phone started vibrating again, it was Jason calling. She answered her voice raspy "hello? ".

"Miss. Evans its Jason"

"I know, and I told you to call me prisca" she said as she sat up. "Why are you calling me by this time?"

"Well prisca, I got home half an hour ago and I wanted to see if you were still awake".

  "Yes, I waited but I eventually fell asleep "she said

   "Well since you're awake now, I want to see you".

  "But it's  late Jason, what do you want?"

   "I told you that we were going to talk when I get back because I want to get to know you better".                                   "But can't it wait till morning?  Maybe after breakfast or something"

   "No can't do, just unlock your door I'll be there any moment now".

   "No can you-" she began to protest,  but he had cut the call already. Prisca wasn't sure about what had gotten into Jason, but she surelg liked it.

   At about 2 minutes later, she heard a knock on her door. She reluctantly got to her feet, put on her robe and gently opened the door. She returned to the bed while he entered and sat beside her. "So what's so urgent that couldn't wait till late in the day?" She eyed him, he was putting on a grey jogger and a black tank top.

  "So" he began "I'll be very very busy later in the day, so I wanted to see if we could make out time and talk but it won't be possible for now".

  "Why? have a secret family you haven't told me about?.

   "Haha very funny"

  When he saw the look on her face, he clarified "I dont have a secret family prisca, I'm as single as a Pringles. So back to what I was saying, I wanted us to talk now that everyone is asleep. And I wanted to apologize again for my behavior this morning, it was highly inappropriate of me. So, I got you a little something".

    Prisca watched him dip his hand into his pocket and he brought out a fancy box and handed it to her. When she opened it, she realized it was a necklace.

   "Jason, you didnt have to do this seriously I wasn't mad" she said as she stared at the beautiful necklace.

  "You don't like it?" He asked nervously.

  "No! Far from it, its just that I wanted it-"

   "But that doesn't make it less inappropriate, I'm your bodyguard".

  "Doesn't matter, I liked it"she said as she pocked gaze with him. "Did you uhm like it?"

  "I'm not going to answer that" he kept his eyes on hers. "Just take it okay, then I'll be certain that I'm cleared".     

   She nodded her head "thank you"

   "Try it on".

    "There's no need Jason, I'll be going back to bed anyways".

    "I just want to see how it looks on you"he shrugged.

    "Allow me"he said as he stood up and  took it from her. It was pretty hard trying to put on the necklace while they were both sitting down. Jason got extremely close trying to hook it, and prisca sat there savoring his scent.
