"I'm really sorry, I did not mean to scare you" she said rubbing her back. Mary grudgingly lifted her arms and hugged her back. "But you needed to have seen your self" Mia suddenly said, pulling out from the hug and looking into Mary's face. "You needed to have seen what you like as you shook out of fright" Mia said laughing. Mary could not help but to laugh too, she somehow found it funny too. Mary took her hand and they both sat down on the bench. "You know it's been quite a long time I saw you, and I was actually just trying to create a more dramatic entry, you know just like in the movies" she demonstrated with her hands. "And I actually got you where I wanted you" she laughed so hard. "I was actually really scared Mia, you only just added to my initial fear" Mary said laughing too. "Why did you react that way anyways" Mia asked laughing. "I know.... I know, I expected you to be scared, but that was a bit too much. What are you so afraid of?" Mary thought about it,
Mia equally let out a devilish smirk. "And you just reminded me that you actually owe me for two" she said laughing. "Whatever Mia" Mary exclaimed laughing even more. "Your bosses house is quite big" Mia said as she made herself comfortable on one of the couches. Mary had no idea if the relationship with her and Adonis could actually be described as a boss and employee relationship, giving everything they had done together. She mentioned it to Mia as she went to sit besides her on the couch. "How far have you too gone?" Mia asked, chewing a mouthful of the popcorn they had bought on their way home. "We have actually gone very far, but what I do not know is if my far is also Adonis far". Mary had no idea if what she said made any sense to Mia, but she actually had to give it a thorough thought. She then remembered what Adonis had told her in the beginning, that the only thing that could happen between them was sex. Maybe that was all there is to it for him. "How far have
Mary turned around in her bed and looked through the window, it was day break already. Mia was lying right besides her and still sleeping. Mary looked at Mia and smiled, she had actually never shared a bed with anybody like this in the past, she remembered while she was growing up she had always wished she had a sister to share a bed with. She slowly tapped her shoulder and she woke up. "It's morning already Mia" Mary said. Mia got up and looked around the room, "this is not my room, have I been kidnapped?" She turned to Mary with an inquisitive look on her face. Mary stared back at her in shock, she wondered if Mia had developed amnesia overnight. "You spent the night with me Mia, remember" Mary said with corked eyebrows. She expected Mia to finally calm down and and act normal, but Mary was surprised to see her still acting historical and looking around the room with a confused look on her face. "Mia!" Mary slapped her forehead in frustration, wondering whaybhad come over
She quickly scanned through her wardrobe, searching for the best one among her work clothes to put on. She finally settled for one after scanning, she had scattered her clothes all over the place in the process. But she felt arranging them now would take so much time and she was late already. She would just do it when she gets back from work.She was about setting out when she noticed the hand band that Adonis had given to her, she still had it on. Agitated, she peeled it off her wrist and tossed it in the drawer close to her bed. "We should go now" she said to Mia as she came downstairs. When Mary arrived at work, she noticed quite a number of people in the lobby, they seemed to be looking at something interesting in the tv, only that this particular thing might not really be as interesting as it should be after all, because instead of the excited face she expected to see, they all had different unexplainable expressions on their faces. Some of them had blank expression on thei
Mary twisted the door handle and opened bit fully, walking into the house it looks calm as ever, and empty too. Mary was not sure if Adonis was home already or not. Taking a walk around the house, apart from all the other domestic help, there was no sign of any other person in the house. She wondered why Adonis was yet to come back, it was quite late already. She was tempted bro think that he probably did not agree to sign over the mineral to the government. 'How silly' She thought. She went straight to Emma's room to check up on her, thankfully the doctor was there, she had come around to check up on her. She greeted the doctor and walked inside. "Is there an improvement?" She asked concerned. "She has really shown some signs of improvement within the last few hours, that is good news". Mary nodded. "So when are we expecting her to be awake?" She asked again. "I can not really tell when she would be awake, but hopefully very soon. I just moderated her drip" Mary nodded
Mary shuddered even more, her heart beat even faster as she felt him hold unto her arm and prevented her from bending down. He pulled her up so that she could look into his face. Mary tried to keep her eyes down so that she would not have to look into his face. "You don't have to bother yourself okay?" He said softly, but Mary felt he was being sarcastic. "I would just simply ask another maid to clean it up" he still held unto her hand. Mary was surprised for a while. "You don't look okay" he said again. He took her hand and led her away from the chaos in the kitchen. "Are you not happy to see me?" He asked with a smile on his face, a smile that looked more like a smirk. "Or did anyone annoy you before my arrival?" He asked again. Mary did not know what to make out of the whole situation, but she told herself that she was probably over acting and she should try to act normal. She tried to paint a smile on her face, but she failed woefully. What was supposed to come out as a sm
Mary blinked repeatedly hoping to get rid of the fear in her eyes, she did not want him seeing the fear in her eyes and knowing how scared she was of him. He too blinked from reflex, and looked away. Then he turned to look at her and continued his story again. "This particular day, I was trying to sneak into my house with the fruits, just like the way you were about to run now" he said looking directly into her eyes. Mary was frozen for a moment, her heart skipped several beats as she heard him say that. His rapt attention focused directly on her face, like he was trying to read her facial expression. "Well..... This my neighbor caught me sneaking, and then I stood frozen in front of him, expecting to get scolded for the fruits. Can you guess what he said to me then?" Mary shook her head, wondering why he was asking her, why was he sharing the story with her anyways. "Well —" he squeezed her hand even more tightly. "He said why are you running when no one is after you". S
They stared into each other's eyes for sometime, until Adonis broke the eye contact. "I'm off to bed, I'm feeling sleepy already" he said dropping the slice of pizza he had in his hand and getting up from the chair. "You can have the rest of the pizza in case you get hungry" he said looking down at her, and just like that he as gone. "What an audacity" Mary said angrily after he was gone. She looked at the time, it was almost midnight. "I had better go to bed lest I suffer a fatigue tomorrow" she said before she stood up. She looked at the box of pizza on the ground, ignoring it and not giving it a second thought she walked away with a sneer on her face. That night Mary locked her room door, because she was scared of Adonis. She was scared that he could come into her room while she was asleep at night and do something bad to her. She was even more scared of him because he was unpredictable, she could not even know what he was thinking. Why tell her thst story from hi
