JEANNE'S POVCherry has slept off.Laying her gently on the bed, and covering her with the blanket, I go and meet Jayson.He's already made himself at home, I can see that, as he's currently eating Maria's lavish delicacies at the dining table.Bringing out a chair, and sitting beside him, I fetch a large helping of pasta and chicken sauce, and begin eating too.Cleaning his mouth, with the napkin placed in front, he drinks his fruit juice, clears his throat and asks, "How's she, what did she say?" "Well, for now coast's clear, you can stay." I answer, although I don't tell him everything she said, so he wouldn't be worried.It seems he's done eating, because he stands up and says, "I think I need to rest, I'm already tired and it's getting late." Nodding I call Maria and tell her to guide him to his room.I continue eating when suddenly another idea pops in my head.Bingo! I think I've just officially turned to Jayson's and Cherry's matchmaker sent from heaven.* * * * * * * * * *
JASON'S POVI'm back, after a stressful day at work, and I'm so tired.I go to my room, take off my clothes and have a warm shower, and after that I put on a bathrobe.I hardly cream my body, but I make use of the lotion Jeanne had set aside for me and rub it all over.Putting on a black shirt, I wear an off white colored t-shirt and look at myself on the mirror, I look good.I'm tired and also famished so I go downstairs, praying I don't bump into Cherry, as her stare is the last thing I want to face this afternoon.As if God is in line with me, I get to the dining and meet only Jeanne, who's sitting and pressing away at her phone.She sees me and smiles, "How was work today?" She asks me."Fine, where's Cherry." I ask and I immediately regret my question, cause I didn't even ask about how her own day went, I just asked about her friend and I hope she doesn't feel to bad about it."Well,, she's....." She starts saying something but stops and talk of the devil, Cherry walks past the d
CHERRY'S POVI come back from work, enter my house and go straight to the dining.I'm so tired and thirsty, I need a drink of something chilled.Walking to the dining, something catches my attention and I walk towards the center table on the living room.There's a file on the table.I look at it, open it carefully, read the contents and i laugh.Even if it's the name of my company that's written on it I won't even ask or pay attention. I'll simply act like I didn't see this.I place the file back on the table, deep down I know who dropped this file here, but I'll act like I don't care, because I don't.Walking to the dinner, I take a glass and get some chilled orange juice from the fridge.Maria immediately comes to my side and telling her to take my bag upstairs, I instruct her to serve me my dinner, cause I'm so damn hungry.She nods and some minutes later, dinner is all served and I munch away hungrily.Hearing some noise from the stairs, I look to see Jayson chatting happily with
JAYSON'S POVMy eyes are closed and I see myself hugging her, planting kisses all over her face and she moans in my ears.I look into her face and all I see is beauty, love and so many unexplainable things. Leaning close i try to kiss her succulent lips, and my alarm rings loudly and I'm forced to open my eyes. It's just a fucking dream, and it's morning already and so fast.Oh shit! I curse loudly, and I remember that I have not even told Cherry again about the meeting. Even though I have decided to lie to the investors, it's not going to be easy and I sigh.Already 7:00 clock am, and having just an hour to get dressed and prepare for work, I go into the bathroom, take a quick shower, clean myself, rub the lotion Jeanne kept that I'm beginning to like, wear my clothes and I'm set to go.Walking to the mirror, I pick my styling gel and comb, and style my stubborn full dark hair and slick it all back.Looking at myself, I conclude that I'm a really handsome guy, who wasted so many ye
JAYSON'S POV (Continued)The drive home is really long and it gives me plenty time, to think of how I'll face Cherry at home, talk to her and other things.Deep down, I know the Cherry from before is still in her, she's just forming hard to get and I totally understand why she's behaving like that, but also I know that she would definitely forgive me one day.We arrive at her mansion, the gate's opening automatically ad my driver drives onto the car garage, parking at a safe side and I alight.Taking a deep breath, and closing my eyes for a long time, I exhale, telling myself that I can do it as I walk inside.She's home already, that I know because I saw her car packed outside when coming in earlier.The house is unerily quiet, and I don't see any of the maids walking around or are they resting.Walking upstairs, I go straight to my room, sit on my bed and take off my clothes and lie down, I lie on my back and look straight at the ceiling.As usual I begin thinking about Cherry, imag
JAYSON'S POV (CONTINUED)"Next Month." I say with a gasp, I'm so going to die of hunger.She smirks and says, "Too bad, rich folks like you don't know how to make their own meals.""Oh, you think, well I'll show you." I reply with a playful frown and she raises her eyebrows at me, and that's when I come to my senses. Oh God! What did I just say? Instead of begging her to cook something or at least assist me, I decided to prove to her I can do something, I know and she also knows too, that I can't.Surprisingly, she stands up and walks towards me and I curse inwardly and ask, "Can you at least help me a little?""No, I can't, I'm sorry." Still deciding to try my luck I become demanding, "Please, just help me out."She looks at me, arms akimbo and starts talking sarcastically again, "Oh, come on, are you scared. You scared of the gas cooker, the pot, the spoon, the plate? huh?"Coming forward and placing her hands on my shoulders, she pushes me forward into the kitchen and positions m
CHERRY’S POV“Jayson!!” I scream and cough out loudly.The whole kitchen is filled with so much smoke, I can’t even see clearly.Oh God! What has he done now? I ask myself. I see him stirring whatever he is frying and I continue coughing, not only from the smoke but from whatever peppery substance he has on the fire.Going out through the kitchen door, I walk to the backyard of the kitchen, opening all the windows, and I come back inside as the smoke gradually disperses and subsides.“Do you plan on killing me today with pepper?” I ask, covering my nose, “No I didn’t mean to, I’m just frying some fresh pepper and onions.”“Some pepper and onions, and you want to blow up everywhere. Let me have that.” I say collecting the spoon from his hand.Going closer to the pan, I quickly pour the tomato paste in the mixture and stir sharply and add a little water.The paste makes the pepper less peppery and I stop coughing.Gosh! I exclaim silently.JAYSON’S POVI stand beside her and watch eve
JAYSON'S POVI'm still in shock at what just happened between me and Cherry.I initially wanted us to play like this, but I never expected it to go this far, and that was why when she hit me on the head, I feigned a little pain and rushed into the kitchen.I need to heal my aching heart.I never knew she could be so much fun, even as she is all grown up.Looking around, I decide to wash the dishes, even though she lost.It's the least I can do in appreciation of the meal she made for me.Smiling I remember when she had come to meet me outside, demanding I come wash the plates.I know she would have been in shock when she saw all this and I just laugh.Arranging everywhere, I wipe the counter clean, clear the trash, and make sure the kitchen is looking sparkly and clean.I came from a home where I was not allowed to do anything, or help anybody but that doesn't mean I don't know my way around a house, definitely I know how to clean, it's just cooking that's my problem.Wiping my hands
