I'll Stay

Chapter 24

I still woke up to an empty bed space. I am used to it even as it's just 2 days this has happened.
I decided that today, i will resume my job. I went to the landlord to inform him i may not always be around but i will still pay for the rent. I was doing this because I didn't want the memories of my parents to leave me.
I had my bath and called master.
"Hello Jasmine."
"Good morning Master. I called to inform you i will be resuming today."
"Are you sure? I mean, are you fit for this now?"
"I'm fine master. I can't keep mourning forever. I'm sure she doesn't want me to do that."
"If it's fine by you, then it's fine by me."
"Thank you. Have a nice day."
"You too Jasmine"
I quickly packed my stuff and had my bath. I left my house for Master's. When i got there, i saw one of Master's cars packed at the gate to his mansion. I was wondering why it was packed there when there was already a parking lot for his cars.
My question got answered when i saw Cador putting bags into the car while Eleanor and Lori came out. They looked like they were about to travel. If it's true, thank Jesus. I wasn't mentally ready for their bullshit.
"Jasmine. It's such a pity." Eleanor put up the fakest sad face i have ever seen.
"...."
"I thought you were going to quit the job"
"No I wasn't planning to do that.....ma'am"
"Hmph. Anyways, we are traveling to Paris. We need to rest."
Rest? What are they resting for? Are these ladies serious? What have they possibly done that they want to rest from?
"Safe trip ma'am"
"Whatever" i rolled my eyes in my mind.
I waited till they drove off. I walked into the house and straight to my room. I quickly unpacked my stuff and left for the territory to tell master i was around.
"Master"
"Jasmine. Welcome back. I'm sure you met my mum outside."
"Yes i did. She said she was traveling."
"Yes."
"Have you eaten master?"
"No I haven't but i was planning to go for lunch at a restaurant. Come with me." He doesn't even ask.
"Ok Master."
"Good. Be ready in 10."
"Yes Master" i bowed and left.
I went to my room to quickly change. I wore a flair peach gown that was just a little above my knee and nice sandals that master got for me. I packed my hair into a rough bun and let hair some fall by the sides. I put a lip balm and sprayed my perfume....it used to be my mum's. It smelled like flowers, just like she was.
Anyways i came out of my room and saw master at the door. He just wore a black shirt and a grey trouser with leather slip on loafer slides but he didn't tuck in. He still looked sexy as hell.
He gestured 'after you'. I smiled. First of all, what are we even doing? What is.....this....thing called? Like does it have a name? I am so confused. He's acting like we were dating but in his mind, i know what he is thinking is far from dating....like outrageously far from dating. I sighed.
We entered an Audi this time. Wow. Does he have most brands of cars in one parking lot? Show off. I laughed in my mind.
We drove to a restaurant with Clionni written in front. It looked expensive. Why not? I have never been to an expensive restaurant before. So let me try their food and know what the big deal is.
A waiter came to us and asked what we would like to order. I was so lost when i saw the menu. What is all this? I looked at master and he smiled and told the waiter something I didn't hear because I wasn't paying attention.
Anyways, the waiter came back with our food and white wine. He served us and i stared at my plate. It was white liquid with veggies in it. What is this?
"Uhm Master, what is this called?"
"Clam Chowder"
"Huh?"
"It's nice. Try it." I nodded.
I put a spoon in my mouth. I hated it. Not that it didn't taste nice but i just didn't like it. Ugh. Now I'll only punish myself if i should continue eating this. So i acted like there's nothing more interesting than the menu that was still on our table. I put so much interest in it so that I won't have to eat all of the chaw clammer....i mean clam chower or whatever it was. I drank my wine slowly also. I wasn't enjoy any of these.
It was time to go. Yes! Thank goodness. We left and went back to the mansion. Wow. Just that? Anyways, what was I expecting? It was 6pm when we arrived.
"Master, is it possible for me to watch a movie?"
"Sure. You didn't ask if i could join." Huh? Ask him if he could join? It's his freaking house. He can do whatever he wants.
"If you're not to busy, I don't mind."
"I'm not."
I turned on the tv in the living room. I saw horror movies...i love horror.
"Master, do you like horror movies?"
"I don't watch movies."
This shocked me. If he doesn't watch movies, why did he want to watch now? Ok let's see if he will like horror movies. So i put 'the evil dead'. I wanted to sit somewhere else when he patted the sofa he sat on and said "i don't bite." I bit my lip. This man.
I sat down close to him like there was no other place i wanted to be. We were deep in the movie when his hands started drawing shapes on my lap. I swallowed my saliva. What was he doing? I didn't want to be rude and slap his hands off my lap. So i looked at him. He looked back at me and smirked. So sexy. I didn't even want him to stop but what could happen next?
Then he faced me completely and stared at my lips. My heart was beating faster than normal.
"Master?"
"Shhh" I swallowed more saliva.
He put his face on neck and started tracing his lips from my neck to my chin. My breath hitched. I closed my eyes to enjoy this new contact. He was still tracing my laps while his lips were inches from mine.
"I have been longing to do this since"
"M-master i-i" I couldn't find my words. I was crazy right now because i was so turned on by this man.
"Shhh Jasmine. You don't have to say anything. Shy girl."
I blushed so hard that i think i ran out shades.
He came closer and cupped my cheek. Before i could say anything, he crashed his lips to mine. I was screaming in my mind now. What the fuck is going on? Ok ok, i kissed him back.
It was a slow kiss. He took his time like he owned time. His lips explored mine. His kiss felt hungry like he has wanted this ever since. His hands left my cheek and held my neck. We discontinued the kiss to catch our breaths.
"I love your lips." I blushed
"...." i was just smiling like a fool.
"Kiss me" master said seductively.
