?Nora’s POV?
I gulped down saliva nervously as he looked around the room then returned his gaze on me.
“Hi! He greeted.”
“Hello sir, what do you want? “I asked curiously.
“Am really hungry and tired, could you make something for me?” He asked starring keenly at me.
I gulped down saliva again immediately I heard “hungry”
“Wait ,please? Don’t tell me my dream is repeating itself.”
“Okay sir,I’ll get going, I replied and headed for the door but paused when I heard his voice. ”
“Oh lord! Save me! Please don’t let him say it again! I prayed in my heart.”
“Please be fast , am really famished, he added and stood up then followed me out of the room.”
I got to the kitchen and realized he didn’t say anything like what happened in my dream. I became relieved and released the breath I’ve been holding.
Thank goodness!
?MARCUS’S POV?
The door opened and Mason entered.
I knew he was the one because no one dare open my door without knocking.
He sat down on the bed looking tired.
“Hey! He called.”
“You look tried, what did you do? “I asked him.
“You no mom, she tried to convince me to start working, it was really stressful arguing with her , he chided.”
“Even I am restless myself, I added.”
“Um..why don’t we spend the weekend at the beach? “He suggested and I waved the idea off.
“Even tho I wanted so badly to go, I won’t be chanced.”
“I can’t, dad and his company, I replied and he chuckled.”
“Well if you don’t come, I’ll just go alone with Nora , he said and I flinched.”
“Nora? No, you dare not, I replied with a stern face.”
“Calm down, it’s just two days, he said.”
“No, but she’s my cook, I replied.”
Well I’ll tell her to prepare food for two days and keep it to be reheated by your other maids when you wanna eat it , he said and I didn’t say anything for a while.
“He just got me. “If I say something that’s out of point , he’ll get suspicious of me.
I bit my lower lips and thought for a while.
No there’s no way am letting them be together for two days.
I no what mason can do.
I picked up my phone and texted dad if I could go and surprisedly he allowed it.
“I’ll come with you then, I said and he smiled.”
“But are you sure?” He asked again.
“Of course yes, I replied.”
“OK I’m really famished and told Nora to prepare something for me , I’ll go down to eat, wanna join? “He asked and I nodded and followed him down.
Nora served him his food and he started eating hungrily.
“Um..Nora , I called.”
Yes…sir, she draw her reply.
We’ll be going the beach this weekend so you’ll cook some food and pack it, you’re coming along with us , I told her and she smiled and nodded.
“Why is she smiling?”

Weekend.
We woke up early and prepared ourselves.
“I took some clothes and kept them into a small bag , alongside the other stuff I’ll be needing. ”
Nora had already packed food into the car we will be taking.
With that , we hit the road in no time.
We soon got to the beach and reserved three rooms.
Mason and I went to the beach and sat on the sand enjoying the view.
A lot of people were also there in their bikini and so on.
Surprisedly Nora came out wearing a sxy bikini.
People were starring at her, children stopped playing and went around her while she smiled and waved at them.
I continued starring at her until she got to where we were and sat down beside us.
“What in the name of holy ghost are you?”mason asked drooling seriously.
She pretended not to hear him and focused her gaze in the sea.
Some set of children were playing by the sea and one of them fell down. Water started taking her deep into the sea.
“Not many people saw this , I looked and became alert.”
I was about to stand up before I saw someone running ahead of me.
“It was Nora. she ran so fast to my surprise and dived in.”
She swarm speedily but steadily until she got to the girl.
By now people already gathered watching everything.
A girl was seen screaming in disdain. Guess it was her sister.
Nora came out with the girl and the girl screaming ran towards her and grabbed the little girl.
“What is this? The girl screamed.”
“Do you want your dad to kill me Betty?” She screamed and finally turned to face Nora who was starring at them.
“Oh thank you pretty miss, she thanked.”
“Thanks for saving my daughter, she added and my mouth fell.”
“Did she just say daughter ? “Mason who was standing beside me asked.
“It alright look after your kid , a lot of people are seeking to have kids don’t let go of her , Nora replied and left.”
We watched her as we made her way back to the lounge.
I wanted to follow her and ask her how she learned how to swim perfectly.
“Um..mason I need to make use of the restroom, I announced and ran after Nora immediately.”
She wrapped her hands around her body and shivered a bit.
“Nora! I called holding her and she starred at me.”
“Hi sir, she greeted.”
“Uh..I wanted to ask how you were able to do so fast?” I said and she smiled.
“I learned how to swim sir , she replied holding herself tightly.”
I could tell she was feeling really cold.
“You’re cold? I asked and she nodded negatively.”
“I’ll just go put on some clothe , she replied.”
She started going but couldn’t hold her balance anymore. She collapsed immediately but thank God I was able to catch her before she got to the ground.
I carried her to her room and wanted to pull off her dress but remembered she was a lady.
“Oh sht! What do I do?” I lamented but couldn’t think of any other thing but to pull the wet bikini off first.
I reached for a wrapper and wrapped it around her then slowly pulled off her dress.
I wore new set of clothes on her and noticed she was already burning up.
“Lord! What is this?” Why the sudden sickness.
I asked for hot water from the attendant there and was given.
I dipped a towel into it and place it on her forehead.
After some minutes I checked her temperature but it was only raising.
I took out my phone and called mason to look for a doctor or hospital to take Nora to.
He came in few minutes later surprised to see Nora in that state.
Luckily he already located a hospital.
We took Nora to the hospital and she was admitted immediately.
The doctor checked her and prescribed some medicine for me.
“What happened to her? “I asked curiously.
Well cold isn’t good for her at all, you said she went into the beach . She shouldn’t have when she knew her condition.
So from now on make sure she doesn’t take cold stuff, at least for now, he said and left while mason and I starred at ourselves in surprise.
“So ,she went ahead to risk her life for someone else?”
