Episode 12
?MARCUS’S POV?
Feelings!
“How I feel, like seriously? ”
“Why don’t you tell me? Explain my own feelings to me , I asked again moving closer to her.”
She brought her lips closer to my ear and said in a whisper.
“You’re beginning to like me, she whispered and I chuckled unbelievably and looked into her catlike eyes.”
“Really? Prove it then Nora! “I said.
“Those feelings are with you , you just don’t wanna see them, she cooed.”
“Alright its enough you can go, I’ve done enough already , I said already getting pissed. ”
“How can I have feelings for her? That’s absurd”. I have Rachel so what’s she saying?
She starred at me for a while and smiled lightly.
Yes…sir.
She turned and left and I sank into a nearby couch.
She has nerve to tell me that I Marcus is having feelings for her.
She’s so fearless. Just because I helped her doesn’t change or mean anything.
“Wait, why did I even help her?”
Well lemme forgot about why I helped her course thinking about it might give me headache.
I closed my eyes tightly and rested my head on the couch trying to forget everything.
When I was about to fall asleep my door burst open and mason came in.
I opened my eyes to stare at his grumpy face.
“What’s up? Why the face?” I asked.
“Well you left me down there, he announced and sat on the bed.”
“I came down but couldn’t find you, I replied adjusting properly in my sit.”
“Where were you?” I asked pretendedly.
“In the kitchen tryna get tight with her but she’s too stubborn, he replied.”
I chuckled.
“What happened?”
I saw her at the kitchen and made a move but..she act too innocent.
“Wait, wasn’t she the same Nora you said you almost had ? How could she be so difficult?” He grumbled bitterly.
I chuckled again and closed my eyes.
“Maybe she doesn’t like you man, I replied and I could feel his gaze on me.”
“Oh! Wait, she agrees to those she likes?” That means she likes you if you almost had her man , he said and I opened my eyes immediately.
Like me?
“Yes, you just said she couldn’t let me in course she doesn’t like me but allowed you , so? What do you think?” He asked.
“Wait, you mean she likes me? “I asked doubtfully.
“Come on ,if she likes you that’s Goodnews, but it could have been sweet to have her you no, he replied. ”
“No, no , it’s not possible I don’t no why she did all those but I don’t think she likes me , I replied flatly.”
“OK why don’t we try to find out?” He suggested.
“How? I asked.”
“How about you seduce her and see how fast she respond to you?” He suggested and I shook my head in negatively.
“No,am not doing it.”I don’t want to, I replied.
“Why? He asked.”
“Why? What do you mean why? OK if we confirm that she likes me what do I benefit from it?” I have Rachel man , I replied and he shook his head sadly.
“G©sh Marcus! Are you the one saying this? “You have a lot of things to enjoy. I bet she is sweet, he replied and I glared my eyes at him.
“Stop that mason , you’re losing it man.” All those bches you fk are getting to you, aren’t they? I replied and he busted into a serious laughter.
If you say so man , I won’t bother you about it but I’ll keep on trying to get to her as long as am staying here, he said and I rolled my eyes at him.
“You’ll never change, so how’s Sara? ”
“She’s good man, extending her greetings to you, he replied and lay on the bed. ”
A long silence took over for a long time.
“So when is she coming back?” He asked and I knew he was referring to Rachel.
Soon. That’s what she told me, I replied.
?NORA’S POV?
I went straight to the room provided for me by Marcus and lay on the bed.
My phone started ringing and I picked it up when I realized the person on the line.
“Hello sir, I greeted.”
“How is it going?” He asked.
“Well, the first part of the plan is falling into place, I replied.”
“So you mean his beginning to fall in love with you? “he asked.
“Yes , am sure of that but his denying it tho, I replied.”
“You have to put him to test then , after confirming it ,you’ll move to the next step, he said.”
Remember you have three steps and there are two more to go, I want you to do it fast , I can’t keep on holding Rachel , she’ll be back sooner that later, he added and I nodded as if he can actually see me.
“Alright then bye, I replied and cut the call.”
“Hmm how will I put him to test now?” I wondered and finally arrived at it.
Yes! I’ll have to wait till tomorrow when he gets back from work then, I thought and smiled to myself then my phone started ringing again and I looked at the caller to discover it was Ronnie on the line.
Ron! I called.
Noona! Aren’t you gonna come over ? am too restless you no, he wined like a kid.
“I wanna know the whole deal , please come over, he added.”
“OK free your schedules tomorrow from 11 okay?”
“Okay, ksses , he replied and cut the call.”

Next day
?MARCUS’S POV?
I woke up late and freshened up then went to work.
I did a lot of sighing course dad wasn’t around to do them.
That old man won’t kill me , I wonder where he went to.
Hours later I left for home.
I got home and mason wasn’t home.
Guess his still with his mom course his mom called early that morning and told him to come over.
Nora appeared and served me dinner , I couldn’t wait for mason.
I was damn hungry due to stress from that company.
I sat down in the dinning as I munched on my food hungrily.
I noticed Nora was standing beside me but didn’t bother asking her why she was standing.
“After a while , I was done and she cleared the table.”
I went up and freshened up then came down to watch television and await Mason’s return.
The door bell rang and Nora went to get the door.
She came back with a slim blond her girl that’s about her age.
I stared at them both as they stood in my front.
“Who is this Nora? “I asked starring at her.
Um…sir she’s gonna be your new Cook, Nora announced with smiles making me confused.
Meaning? I asked.
Uh..I got a job and em..it pays well so..uh..I am quitting this one but I thought you’ll find it hard to find a new cook that’s really talented so I brought one for you, she replied and I became surprised.
“You’re leaving?” I asked even tho I heard what she just said.
Yes sir, I find a new job that…
“How much do they pay? How much ?” Come on tell me and I’ll pay you double , I cut her in and she became quiet and continued starring at me while I did the same.
Uh…sir..I..you no..
She wanted to say but paused.
“Wait ,why do you want me to stay?’ She asked sounding sharp.
Me?
“Why do I want her to stay?” I’ve not even thought of that but I just want her to stay.
Em..I..course you’re my cook and I..em..selected you myself and I wouldn’t want you to leave just like that, I replied sharply without thinking.
She said something to the lady and she left immediately.
Nora walked up to me and sat down facing me.
“Think about it and I might stay sir , she cooed.”
“About what? “I asked confused.
“Why do you want me to stay? “She asked in a voice that could crush someone’s heart.
