Chapter 5

After 6and a half hours of fly osariya felt sore as hell. Granted she was in first class for the first time in her life . but she had only seen nate briefly . His was surrounded by his team and also had to conduct a meeting mid flight as they journeyed to his Caribbean home . She shook her head thinking of him talking softly with his people all bundle of uncoiled energy. Ignoring the small pang of envy that she was not included she schooled herself to remember that this was just a job and though she was majorly attracted to Nate , he was out of her league. He

was the freaking fastest man on the planet, he probably had women begging to jump in his bed. Not that she wanted to be in his bed she told herself ignoring the lie she was telling herself .

But he seemed nice. Caught in her own world she almost didn’t hear Shawn calling her to a waiting car while she stepped out in the tropical heat. She definitely had to go shopping for a few loose fitting clothes.

Getting into the car she was surprised when she saw Nate. Sliding next to him after a brief hesitation he asked “ how was the flight. I’m sorry I was busy for most of it but I had to handle some business before we landed.” He said taking her hand in his. Its ok she said, as she tried to tug her hand out. When he refused to let go she sighed and tried to relax as they started moving. Welcome to my country he said. Pride and possession evident in his voice and btw im all your’s now”

thank you she said simply not knowing what else to say. What music do you like he asked,

anything but rock. Chuckling he switched on the cars music system, putting on some soft R&B, as sunlight streamed in through the car.

“im surprised there wasn’t a pack of paparazzi waiting for you at the airport. Though he was whisked through a private gate most people who saw him only smiled;” she counted two people who actually asked for an autograph and no one took a picture. There was a small chuckle from the front . btw this is jared my driver and head of my security. Looking in the reaview morror she glanced a handsome man with striking features of anglo and Middle Eastern heritage, chiseled face with gray eyes and stared back at her the remnants of a smile still on his face. Too answer your question hun” this” he said spreading his arms wide, a

huge smile on his face. “Is my country”. Rolling her eyes at his statement she whispered sarcastically “right“

he chuckled

“Nah, they’re use to me. my celebrity has worn out here . im just another son coming home.

The drive to Nate’s home was a winding hour and 15 minutes’ drive through rain forest , on one occasions their 3 car motorcade which consist of the car they were on and two suv’’s for his coach and staff. Had to stop to prevent her from puking what little food she ate on the plane

Adding the change in altitude throughout the drive as they traversed the mountainous terrain she was thankful for the motion sickness pills Nate had handed her.

Relived that they were at the outskirts of town. That relief turned to appreciation when they drove up through what seemed an enormous property , grounds well maintained , with different types of flowers and fruit trees which gave way to what was a beautiful house. Though to call it house was not quite justice. Welcome to my home nate said warmly. glancing up she saw that he was looking at her expectantly as if awaiting her reaction. Getting out she saw that it was a enormous mansion with three levels . She could see a terrace running around the second level of the house . cream coloured, it seemed a mix between a Spanish style villa and part city home . for e.g. the lower section of the house was sourounded by glass walls however the outside shape of the home reminded her of the Spanish style villas she had seen on tv Coupled with the wide expanse of green lawns interspersed with brick tiles that formed pathways and a small courtyard. This is really beautiful she murmured trying not to show to much of the the excitment in her

voice at the realization that this would be her home for the next 6 weeks. Best vacation ever she thought smile on her face . Told you it would be worth it he said gauging her reaction. Come let me show you inside.

Mr. king, door blown open a middle aged woman came trotting outside, “ I was[s not aware that you would be back so soon” she said with words flavoured in the local dialect

well as you can see I got injured nate responded lifting up the cane he held in his hand. . not too bad he added as she began to color up. And you know I always feel better with you around.

Huh? you only say that because you love my cooking that’s all
