Loving Boss

cuddle

Chapter eight

                When we arrive at my apartment I thanked him and get out of his car. I walked to the front door. Martine followed me. I faced him; big mistakes now were too close.  I immediately turn my back to him. “You should go home.” I told him. He didn’t reply. I open my front door and sigh.  “You should really go home. I’m fine” I told him and got inside. But he also followed me. He closed the door behind him, while I march to my room. I lay down on my bed too tired to move. I feel him entered my room. He takes a deep breath. I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep.

“You are in the hospital that afternoon and never told me a single thing.” He said, then silence. “I waited for you in the office. I waited here outside your apartment. I waited till you and Landon arrive. I witnessed how he put his hands around you. Hug you going inside the house. I want to reap him apart that very moment.  I waited for him to go out to confront you. But he never did. I stay outside in my car. I waited till morning. Till you go out with him. Laughing and teasing each other.  That’s when I decided to go home.” He told me.

                I hold my breath I felt like crying. He waited for me. He cares. But he kissed that girl! My mind screamed. I remember that Sunday morning we got out.

I feel him come closer and sit in the bed near me. He caresses my hair that blocks my face from him. He kissed my forehead. “Why didn’t you call me Jaye? You know I’ll be there. Why him of all people? Is he really just a best friend to you? Because to me it does not look like that.” He said. I know he is controlling his anger toward me. “To me it looks like your having an affair with him.” That’s when I open my eyes and look at him accusingly. How dare he?!

                I get up and face him. “How dare you telling me that now? Do you expect me to call you to inform you, ‘oh my God, I have an asthma attack right now because I saw you kissing that thin thing there!’. Do you expect me on running on you while your intensely kissing that run way model in the streets of  New York City?, how great---“ I didn’t finish my sentence I was cut off by his lips. I was surprise at first. But the moment I realize what was happening I push him off. “How dare you!” I intend to slap him, but he caught my hand. He laughed. Unbelievably! He just laughs at me!

“What the hell? Why are you laughing at me?” I ask angrily. He tries to hold his laughter’s.

“Sorry.” He said when he already comforts himself. I breathe in and out. “Oh God, are you okay?” he asks as he looks at me panicking.

I raised my right eyebrow to him. “Of course, darn pig!” I shout at him.

“Whoa, easy woman. Okay before anything else, yeah I kissed her. But that was her condition before breaking up with me.” He said. I raise my right eyebrow again. “Really it was nothing but a good bye kiss. I can’t believe because of that you have that attack. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I don’t know you were there. Please, please. Forgive me.” He said and kneels in the side of my bed, cupping my face. He kisses my forehead, my nose and look at me in eyes. “Please give me another chance. I want to be with you.” He told me and kisses me lightly in my lips. I closed my eyes. He break up with that woman. He wants to be with me.

“Okay” I whisper. He hugs me and kiss me in my lips, I kiss him back and we cuddle in my bed. I drifted to sleep easily with a smile on my face.

                I wake up in a course and someone yelling my name.

“What the fuck is this Ischia Jaye! Ischia Jaye! Wake up! Damn It!” I open my eyes and see an angry Landon in the door of my room. I was about to ask why is he yelling when someone moves behind me me and course. “Damn it! I want to sleep. Make him go Jaye. I didn’t sleep well since Friday.” Martine whisper in my ears that makes me shivers. I look at Landon. He look like he was ready to murder someone.

“Ischia Jaye!” he warned again.

“Lower your voice Landon! You gonna make my neighbor call a police anytime.” I told him. He comes to me and drags me out of my bed. I half-scream because of surprise.

“Landon, stop!” I told him and stand up and realize I was still in my office suit.  I pull my skirt and organize my top. I look at Martine. He groaned and sits up.

“What the hell is with you, man? He asks Landon in irritated groggy voice.

“Yeah! What the hell is with you?!” Landon shout back walking to Martine, ready to fight with him. I stop him by blocking his way.

“”Stop! C’mon, Land why you are so angry?”  I ask him and he look at me with the looks saying ‘Unbelievably’

“You sleep with him Ischia Jaye!” He told me in a low but firm voice. I was surprise.

“Of course not!” I defended myself. “I just sleep in my bed with him, Landon.”

“That’s the thing here Jaye. You slept with HIM!” he yelled and walked out of my room. I blink. Whaaat!!!??

“No! I didn’t sleep with him. We cuddle. Stop making this as if I did have sex with him, because I did not!” I yelled back at him following his tracks.

“Yes! You cuddle with him. You only cuddle with your parent and sisters! We cuddled once! You never let me or anyone sleep on your bed! That’s why, that cuddle you did with him on YOUR BED is a big thing for me!” He yelled walk through the front door, he walk out and slams it. I rush outside just to hear his car engine igniting and drive away harshly. I take a deep breath, preventing myself to cry, what did I do this time?

“Let’s go come inside its cold.” Martine hug me behind my back and drag me inside my apartment.
