A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 33)

I think about Victor. This is the third time he’s asking me out, but I keep denying him, I can’t continue to do that all the time.

Maybe I should call him and reschedule our dinner, maybe change it to lunch, so that I can have lunch with him instead.

I dialed Victor’s number. He picks up on the first ring.

Victor:- Mirabel, what’s up?.

Me:- erm, Victor, I was hoping we could do lunch instead. I’ll be kinda busy later in the evening.

Victor:- no problem. I’m totally fine with that.

Me:- Good. I’ll get ready before 12pm, be sure to pick me up in time. I don’t like being kept waiting.

Victor:- You don’t have to worry. I’ll be there by 11am.

Me:- see you later.

Victor:- Yeah. And dress sexy.

I hang up. I look at the wall clock, it’s just 9:12am. I still have some time to sleep.

I head upstairs to my room, I set my alarm for 11:50am.

At least, two hours sleep is enough. I fall on my bed with a soft thud, and close my eyes to sleep.

*******************************

Jackson is in his office looking through his laptop, looking at dresses. He's sitting with Bright on a sofa in the sitting area in his office.

Bright is busy scheduling appointments with the company's investors, while Jackson is busy searching for a dress online.

Which he still haven’t found the perfect one.

“Jackson, you know you don’t have to order a dress for her. She can wear her old dress” Bright said.

“I have to. I want my woman to stand out, and besides, I don’t like those pieces of cloth she wears. They barely covers her body” Jackson replied.

“You know, it’s not bad if she shows a little skin”.

“It is!. I’m supposed to be the only one who’s permitted to see her skin”

Just then I saw the perfect dress, it’s a red gown.

Though, it’s plain and simple, but it’s elegant.

It makes me think of her nightie, seeing her in it this morning was torture to me.

This dress will look good on her. Jackson show it to Bright.

Episode 32

I sat at the living and decide to call Lizzy and ask of her opinion, because, I’m honestly confused. I’ve already agreed to have dinner with Victor, now Jackson is asking me out too.

I dialed Lizzy’s number and wait for her to pick up.

“Hi, Lizzy!. Finally you called me, I thought he might killed you. Phew! Thank God you are alive” she blabs.

I chuckled. Best friends are crazy, right?.

“So what did you find?” She asks me.

“I haven’t find anything yet, I only know that he doesn’t go to bed without his meds. And he gets nightmares, very frightening ones” I told her.

“Good, that’s a start. I need you to get closer to him, maybe you’ll find out more” she paused. “But how can we get you closer to him?”.

“I don’t know. Anyway let’s forget about that for now, I want your opinion on something”

“What’s that?” She asked.

I clear my throat.

“I have two dinner invitations. One is from a friend I made here, and the other is from Jackson Mark. I don’t kn…. ”

” Wait!” She interupts me. “Did you just say Jackson Mark?” She asks.

I nod, then I remember that she can’t see me.

” Yes” I said.

” You have to go with Jackson!”

” Why?”

” What do you mean why? It’s the perfect opportunity for you to get closer to him, it’ll make it much easier to find out his secrets!” She explained.

Thinking about it, I think what she suggests actually make much sense.

If I want to know what his secrets are, then I need to become friends with him.

Why didn’t I think of this before? Hm. Maybe because I’m too dumb.

Whatever!.

“Ok. Thank you, Lizzy”

“No, thank you. You are the one risking your life for me, you are the one trying to save my career. So thank you” she said.

I smile. I’m just happy knowing I’ll be saving lives by doing this.

“I’ll talk to you later” I said and hang up.

I think about Victor. This is the third time he’s asking me out, but I keep denying him, I can’t continue to do that all the time.

Maybe I should call him and reschedule our dinner, maybe change it to lunch, so that I can have lunch with him instead.

“Don’t tell me you want to matchmake them.” he asked.

“No, I’m going to warn her to stay away from Elvis so he doesn’t hurt her and do exactly as he says. I hope she lives through till I get there” she said.

“I don’t think she’s intimidated by him though” Pat said.

“You can’t say that….” She stopped talking and listening to the sound that was coming from our three year old daughter’s room.

“Your baby needs attention” she said to him.

“Isn’t she our baby?” Pat replied dreading to go to Lina’s room. She won’t let me off easily.

Jane stood up and packed our plates

“you don’t want our daughter disturbing the neighborhood, do you?” She ruffled my hair and gave me the don’t-argue-with-me look. “Good luck” she added

Pat gulped and walked slowly to their daughter’s room.

She stopped crying when she saw him and stretched both arms towards him with bright eyes “Flying” she called out my name.

“This is going to be a long night” he whined internally.

******************************

Elvis watched Lucy retiring back in annoyance and went to the kitchen to heat up the food. The only good thing about her stay here since three days ago is her food. I must admit, she has good cooking skills, he said to himself.

When he was done, he locked the shutters, the doors and switched off the lights before heading to his room.

He brought out his ex’s picture and studied her face. That has being his ritual every night for the past two years. It’s still surprising that someone he loved could become a beast yet he can’t find himself unloving her. He sighed and put her picture back in his wallet and slept, welcoming the nightmares that would follow as usual.

Next morning

Elvis woke up to the sound of his bedroom door opening.

He sat up quickly and watched Lucy pick the dirty clothes he had deliberately dropped on the floor.

“Glad to see you’re awake. Sorry for barging into your room that way because you could be naked but don’t worry, it’s nothing I haven’t seen. Now back to business, next time put your clothes in the laundry basket not the floor. You’re not a five year old for goodness sake!!” 

“Umm sorry? What’s your job? Why are you complaining?” he asked her.

Episode 31

This will do for now.

I’m about to head out when my phone begin to ring. It’s Victor calling.

Me:- Victor! Good morning.

Victor:- Good morning, beauty. I was hoping we could have dinner tonight? Please don’t say no, I really wanna get to know you better.

Our plan of having lunch was cancelled yesterday, so having dinner with him today can make up for it.

After all, I also want to know him more.

Me:- Alright. Cool.

Victor:- Yes! Be ready by 7pm. I’ll pick you up.

Me:- No problem.

I hang up and head downstairs. When I get there, they’ve already finish their pancakes. How long was I in there?

Jackson access my clothing and nod approvingly.

“Much better” Jackson said.

I turn to Bright, he’s looking at something on his phone.

“Bright, what do you think. Do you prefer this to my red nightie?”

Before Bright could answer, Jackson growled.

” You don’t need his opinion!” He said.

Hmm. What is wrong with him? Weirdo.

Bright stands up and whisper something into Jackson’s ear. Then he turn to me and send me a wink, then he hurrys out.

Jackson stands up and head upstairs to get dressed for work.

I pack the plates and take them back to the kitchen. I begin to wash them, after washing and drying them.

I turn to go to the living room, when my face meets with a hard wall.

No, sorry. It was Jackson's chest.

“Ouch, Jackson. You almost broke my nose with your hard chest” I blunt out before I could stop myself.

” Sorry. But I wanna tell you something” he said.

“What?” I asked.

I see his neck and ears turn red, he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

This is the first time I’m seeing Jackson Mark getting nervous like this. Now I’m curious about what he wants to say.

“You..I..” he paused. “Can you have dinner with me, tonight?”

What? Oh no!

This can’t be happening now.

I open my mouth to say something, but he interupts me.

“You don’t have to answer me now, I’ll give you from now till 6pm to make up your mind” he said. “Please take care of yourself till then”

Without another word he left.

Jackson Mark is asking me to have dinner with him?

This is huge! But I already agree to Victor’s request, oh no.

What should I do now?

Episode 30

“I.. I.. I think…” Jackson pause and look at him. Bright raises his eyebrows urging him to continue. “I think I’m in love with her”

“Oh my bloody dick” He exclaims and jump up from his chair. “I knew it!” He sits back down. “So, are you gonna tell her?”

“Tell her what?” Jackson asked.

He lowers his voice.

“About your past” he said.

I shake my head.

“No!”

“But if you two become a couple, you’ll have to tell her sooner or later”

“It’ll be later. I need to be sure that she won’t leave me when she knows about it, I can’t afford to lose her. I need to make sure she can handle the truth about me” Jackson said.

Bright thinks about it for some minutes, then he nods in agreement.

“So when are you going to ask her out?” He asks.

“Do I need to rush in that?” Jackson asked.

He opens his mouth and look at me in disbelief.

” Jackson, you need to rush the process. What if some other guy ask her out?. And let me remind you, Mirabel is the finest of God’s creations” he pause and look behind if I'm coming.

When he’s sure I'm not, he continues.

“She’s got all the curves in the right place, she’s got nice short legs, big ass, full breast…. ” Jackson smack the back of his head.

” I said stop checking her out!” Jackson growled at him.

I don’t like when guys check out Mirabel, I’m selfish, I know, Jackson said.

“All I’m saying is that if I can see how sexy… I mean, how beautiful she is, then other guys can too. So don’t waste anymore time” Bright said.

He’s right though. And I’m the kind of person who takes what he wants, and Mirabel is who I want, Jackson said.

“If I ask her out on dinner tonight, wouldn’t it be too forward of me?” Jackson asked.

“No! Even the Bible says for the kingdom of God suffers violence and the vi… ”

” Okay, I get it Bright” Jackson interrupted him.

” Good, after breakfast I’ll wait for you in the car while you ask her. Don’t screw this up” he said.

I frown.

” Am I still your boss?”

He laughs nervously..

“Don’t temper with my paycheck, Jackson!” He said.

“It’s a good thing we still know our places”

“You are no fun” Bright said an huff, he cross his arms across his chest and starts to sulk.

Jackson laugh at his childish behavior. This is just how our relationship work.

Finally my job is done, this dumb head has finally accept his feelings.

Hmm, I think I should be a matchmaker, Bright said.

******************************

Mirabel's Room

  I changed into a tank top and my cute Dora the explorer sweatpants. I observe myself in front of my mirror and smiled satisfactory.

This will do for now.

I’m about to head out when my phone begin to ring. It’s Victor calling.

My Strict Housemaid (episode 11)

Episode 11

She took off her glasses.

Elvis opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out.

“Hi Sir, I forgot to add water and an apple juice to your lunch” she said and passed a paper bag to me. “Have a nice day and by the way, the jewelry is beautiful.” She stood.

Okay….this is getting out of hand. He turned to give her a piece of his mind but she had already left.

He went back to work and refused to talk to anybody. When he entered his office, the lunch bag wasn’t there anymore thanks to Pat, he said in his mind.

Lucy didn’t want to visit his company since they aren’t close so she did the only thing she could think of which is placing an order and prayed either him or Pat would come out to deliver the order instead.

Luck shone on her when she saw him enter the coffee shop. She got down to business and gave him the water and apple drink she forgot to add to his lunch bag.

She strolled the environment before going home.

She watched movies till night fall. It was 9pm and he wasn’t back from work.

At last, he opened the front door around 10pm. Lucy knows he’s still angry at her and she don’t see why he has to be angry. She only wanted to give him water and his apple drink. Can’t she get a thank you for that??

“Welcome” she said quickly, not giving him a chance to talk ” I was waiting for you. Go to the kitchen and heat up your food, it’s on the cabinet and when you’re through, close the shutters, switch off the lights, lock the doors and retire to your room. Good night” she said and went to her room and soaked herself in a hot tub.

Pat's Apartment

“Did I tell you Jane?” Pat asked his wife as they sat across each other eating.

“Tell me what?” She replied with a mouthful.

” Elvis has a maid” he grinned.

“Tell me another joke” she said in a surprised manner.

“Have I ever lied to you Jane?” Pat put a hand over his chest.

“Yes” she replied.

“When?”

“Today, when I called at lunch, you told me you were eating the food I prepared for you but you were eating another instead” she said.

Unbelievable….why did you give me a witch as wife??

“How…di….did y-you know?” Pat stuttered.

“Call it a woman’s sixth sense, especially a wife’s”

“Well believe me now, Elvis has a maid and it was her food I was eating when you called” I felt pleased with myself to be the first telling her.

“Can we visit this weekend?” Her eyes lit up.

“Don’t tell me you want to matchmake them.” he asked.

“No, I’m going to warn her to stay away from Elvis so he doesn’t hurt her and do exactly as he says. I hope she lives through till I get there” she said.

Episode 10

Don’t worry Sir, I’m only training you on housekeeping in case I leave”.

He scoffed in response and slammed the front door.

He dropped the trash bags in the trash cans and entered his car.

He was about driving out when she knocked on the car window. He rolled it down and looked at her expectedly.

” You forgot this” she said and threw a lunch pack on the seat “buh- bye”

He rolled the window up and drove to the office in a foul mood.

“What’s it?” Pat asked as soon as Elvis entered his office.

“Can you believe this, she made me take the trash out and called my mother, telling her that I love her”.

“She’s good at making her points” Pat grinned.

“What do I do?” Elvis asked.

“Nothing else the media might have an interesting story on you which would affect the company.”

“You never give a good advice” Elvis said to Pat.

“Thank heavens you know” he smiled

“What’s that?” He added indicating at the lunch pack sitting on the table. Why did I even take it?

“Nothing much”

“She packed lunch for you?” Pat asked him.

“Yeah!!! Do I look like kindergarten to her?”

“Can I have it if you aren’t going to eat it?” Pat asked.

He sent daggers to him, “I’m lamenting and you are talking about food. Do you ever not think about anything else but food?”

“No… I mean yes like for example someone made an order online to see one of the most beautiful jewelry from the accessories department. Maybe you should take the other out so you can have a clear head.” said Pat.

“For once in your life, you gave a good idea. Package the order and give me”.

“Yes Boss” he saluted and went out.

*He came in minutes later with a package.*

“Thanks” Elvis stood up and grabbed his car keys.

“Can we talk about the food now?” Pat asked.

“No and don’t touch it” Elvis said sternly when he saw his hands moving closer to the pack.

Getting the address where he saw to meet the client was difficult. After much stress, he located the coffee shop.

He went directly to the third booth where he was told the client would be waiting for me.

“Here’s your package ma’am” he said sat in the booth opposite the woman waiting.

She took off her glasses.

Elvis opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out.
