Jason walked away from Nancy's quarters in thought.He got to the front door of his mansion and saw Phoebe outside.'Where have you been? I heard Bruno announce that you were back and I had been expecting you since then but you were no where to be seen. It is about an hour now' she queried.'Phoebe, I do not owe you any explanation. Where I go or don't go does not concern you'.'That's where you are wrong. I need to know where my fiance is, right?' 'I have not agreed to any marriage with you yet. I asked for now till after Christmas. In fact,till the new year to think about it and it's implications'.'So sorry.', Phoebe said sweetly, not wanting to antagonize him but from the direction she had seen him come,she knew that he had been with Nancy.'That damn girl. What hold did she have over Jason? It couldn't be that Jason was responsible for pregnancy now was it? No wonder then that she was so insolent. She does not behave like an employee. Was that the reason Jason needed until the n
Phoebe went back to her house feeling defeated and furious with Jason.It was a good thing that she didn't love him else his treatment of her would have hurt her terribly.And that little Miss Goody - two - shoes. She must be laughing at her. She had threatened and boasted to them, only for Jason to leave work just to be with Nancy.Romeo was not home. He had gone out for his business. She had just not felt inclined to go to her store today and now she was just feeling restless and horny because Jason's rejection of her and her fury was filling her with an uncontrollable sexual need.She called Romeo, telling him that she needed him at home right away.'You mean right now?' he asked.'Yes, tight now. Leave everything and come, it is very urgent'.'Okay, let me see what I can do'.'Don't just see, do it. I am waiting for you and I do not like to be kept waiting'Romeo did not like the tone she had adopted but he felt the situation must be dire for her to want him to leave all he was do
The next day, Jason went to work without seeing Nancy. It was just as well because he did not know how he would have reacted.He had been able to control himself after other encounters he had had with her but the previous day's encounter was different.He felt like he had made love to her in the complete sense of the word.And she was now in his blood. She was like a virus in his blood. He could not stop thinking about her and how they had loved. Her words of love and desire kept re - echoing in his ears. He had been unable to sleep last night. He had wanted to go to her, spend the night in her quarters or invite her over. He had had to exercise an iron control on himself before he could stop himself. He felt impatient now to make her his. He wondered what he had been thinking the previous day.They would have been lovers in the real sense of the word by now and it would have been difficult for either of them to keep apart from each other.He knew that what they had was something spec
After Mrs. Potts had left, Nancy thought about what she had said and was still thinking about it when she heard Phoebe's voice.'Think about the devil and he is here!' she thought and continued eating.'You are here? How are you feeling today?' Phoebe asked to Nancy's surprise.'Well, I am good. Better than I was yesterday. Thanks for your concern'. 'Itbis not concern, Nancy. I just want you to get better sooner so that you can go to the office and continue with your duties and not waste people's time on the bed pretending to be I'll. I am pregnant as well and I am not going round pretending to fall sick like you! You have to earn your pay, do you understand? Afterall, you are just a mere employee here'.Nancy was growing impatient with this woman but she advised herself to calm down.Phoebe wanted to say other things when her phone rang.'I'll be back, have to pick this call'. And she hastily left Nancy.Nancy did not think much about it until she heard her voice behind her house, c
Phoebe felt that she had just been defeated verbally.There really was more to this Nancy girl than meets the eye.'Jason will have to do something about you. If he does not, then I shall. Not only should you be thrown out of this house but out of your job as well. Afterall, you aren't even taking it very seriously.You have the strength and presence of mind to speak to me this way but you cannot go to work to justify the wage you are paid?' Phoebe said and walked away from the quarters, with her head held high but within her, her confidence was badly shaken.Phoebe went straight to her house. If not for the fact that she had wanted to put Nancy in her place or use emotional blackmail on her in such a way that she would leave Jason and the mansion of her own accord, she would not have come there that day.Now her intention had backfired because Nancy had spoken to her in a way she had not expected to be spoken to, definitely not by her.She knew that Jason would do nothing if she rep
Jason remembered that it was just about a week to Christmas and he was yet to throw the traditional party for his employee to celebrate their success through the year.'Nancy is not aware of this tradition', he thought. 'I shall have to intimate her about it'. As he drove home he thought of how the party would go. He was going to ask his sister and her family over for the holiday. He hoped that they had not made other plans.'Sally?''Hello, Jason. How are you doing?''Fine. How are Chris and the children?''They are fine and send their love. Hope they will be getting gifts from you this holiday? They have been asking me this since they realised it was almost Christmas's.'That is why I am calling actually. I wanted to know if you had plans for the holiday?''Chris has not really told me of any plans, though it is not that he does not have. He may have but he likes revealing it last minute but why?''I was thinking of inviting you and your family, Chris too of course to spend the ho
Nancy had not had the time to speak to Jason about Phoebe's conspiracy. Anytime she wanted to bring up the topic, Jason would ask one thing or the other that would make her forget about it and by the time she remembered, the opportunity would be lost.She decided that she was going to wait till after the celebrations and then tell him before she left his house if she still felt inclined to.They got home after the day's work to hear the squeaking laughter of children in the house.'My sister must have arrived. I can hear the laughter of my niece and nephew', Jason said, so happy as he jumped out of the car and went up the stairs, calling out to them.They heard their names, recognized their uncle's voice and came running towards him with their arms stretched for their uncle to lift them.Nancy followed behind him, marvelling at this new side of Jason she had not known existed.Jason lifted the boy and threw him up in the air and he bubbled with laughter.'Why did you not come to the a
After dinner that night, Sally pit her children to sleep and came back downstairs to speak to Jason.Nancy had been absent. She had asked Sandy to bring her meal to her in her quarters because she had wanted to give the brother and sister privacy.'Are Vera and Vaughn asleep?''Yes, they are. Jason I have noticed that something seem to be bothering you. What is it?''Sally. The case is more complicated than you can imagine'.'Tell me!''I do not know where to start'.'Try starting at the beginning'.'You know how Phoebe and I met. It was at the party you threw to help me get over my heartbreak and start socializing again'.'Yes, yes!''Well, we had an agreement. The affair was going to be an open one where both partners are not restricted to seeing just each other. We were free to see other partners. I was not ready for any commitments. I mean I had just suffered through one and was not ready to rush into another'.'And was she in agreement?' Sally asked wondering why such a young wom
