?Marcus’s POV?
I woke up the next morning to find her still cuddling me.
I smiled and carefully removed her hand from my body got up.
I wore my clothes and noticed that she was still asleep. I pecked her on the cheeks and went to my room.
I opened the door to find mason sitting down on my bed with his phone in his hands.
I felt my heart beat increase for unknown reason.
He didn’t even raise his head to look at whoever came in.
I went to sit beside him wondering what he was even doing in my room.
“Where did you spend the night mar? At the sea?” He asked still on his phone.
“Um..of course I spent my night here, I replied with a shrug.”
“But its definitely not in this room buddy. Did you lounge in another room ? “He asked and I opened my mouth.
“Um..yes, I replied.”
“And that room was Nora’s?” He asked and looked at me this time.
“Oh sht! He already knew.”
I cracked and glared at him.
“Stop asking when you know , I replied and stood up and headed for the bathroom.”
He followed me immediately.
“So how was your night with her? Was is sweet? “He asked.
“Geez! This guy is making me feel uncomfortable.”
“Mason I want to bath, I replied.”
“I know , he replied still in the bathroom.”
“Its not like its a big deal, he added and I shrugged and took my brush and started brushing my teeth.”
“You love her that much huh! ” You no you’re more into this game than I am. I need to learn from you, he said in a mocking way and I splashed water on him immediately.
He ran out laughing and I used that opportunity to lock the door.
You’ll have to explain everything in details when you come out. I wish I was the one riding her. Oh ! Her sweet mourns could drive someone to the underworld, he teased from the room.
“Mason shut the hell up! I yelled.”
“Oh geez! How did I meet that guy?”
I freshened up and came out. Mason was already gone , probably to his own room to freshen up as well.
I wore nice clothes and sprayed perfume on my body and left for Nora’s room.
?Nora’s POV?
I opened my eyes and Marcus was no longer there.
I yawned tiredly and got up . I used the duvet to cover my body and was about to head to the bathroom before the door opened and he came in smiling.
“Hello pretty! He greeted.”
“Hi..hi sir, I greeted back.”
“I told you to call me mar , did you forget?” He asked as he came closer to me.
I smiled and looked down nervously.
“Em..yes mar, but I’ve remembered.”
”
So you wanna take your bath my love, he teased and I couldn’t help but laugh.”
“When did he start with the sweet names?”
“My love?” I asked looking at him.
“Of course, you’re the love of my life and I just found out yesterday, he replied and touched my nose while I smiled.”
“So you’ll have to bath with very warm water according to the doctor. So have you mixed it or should I mix it for you?” He asked now cupping my face.
“No need ma, I can do that myself, I replied and he made to kiss me but I withdrew my self from him.”
“Huh! Why’s that?”
“I’ve not brushed or anything, look at you , you look dazzling.”
“Well who cares.” Your lips will always taste like vanilla anything and anywhere, he said and I laughed.
“Alright I wouldn’t want you to catch a cold , wait here am coming, he said and went into the bathroom.”
He came out few minutes ago.
“Alright am done , you can go in , he announced and I went in to see he has prepared a very warm bath for me.”
I went into the bathtub and did justice to my body.
He asked for VIP rooms and of course bathtubs will be there.
I came out later clad in towel and couldn’t find him there.
I wore very thick clothes so as not to allow air penetrate through my skin much.
I came out of my room and head towards his but came across mason on the way.
He looked at me and smiled.
“His always smiling so as to get me. That jerk!”
“Going to look for Mar? He asked.”
“Um..yes sir, I replied.”
“Come on , stop it already. You can call me mason since you’re Marcus’s you no , he winked and left.”
“What’s that guy saying? Marcus’s you no? Anyways who cares, I thought and continued with my sweet journey.”
I knock and opened the door immediately.
He was arranging something.
“Em sir, I called forgetting again.”
“Sorry Marcus, you should let me do that , I said and moved to collect the clothes he was arranging.”
“You’re not my maid Nora , he said.”
“Em I remember you calling me your maid once tho, I chided.”
OK am sorry about that but you aren’t my maid.
I sat beside him on the bed and wrapped my hand around his shoulder.
“So what am I then? I asked.”
He looked at me and smiled.
“My sweetheart” he replied.
“You no you’re the most prettiest and most sxist lady I’ve ever seen, he added and I blushed real hard.”
Its not like I haven’t heard that before , I’ve heard dozens of guys tell me that but am really happy hearing it from him.
I wrapped my second hand around him drawing him closer to me and he left what he was doing and kssed me.
We kssed for a very long time not wanting to let go of ourselves.
To be honest I really enjoyed what happened between us last night.
Em so we’re leaving in the evening.
Come let’s go grab some breakfast in their restaurant, he said after we disengaged.
“Huh! What about the food I packed? Do you waste food that much?”
“I don’t want you to go through the stress of reheating, let’s just go even tho I no their food is nothing compared to yours, he added and I smiled.”
You really no how to get a lady Marcus.
“Just you my love, he replied and we left.”
He texted troublesome Mason to join us and I had to pretend nothing happened.
We were served different dishes and I just kept mute and started eating.
They were expensive dishes the poor will never afford to buy.
“Wait, Nora have you eaten this before?” Mason asked out of the blues.
“Of course, she’s a cook remember?” Marcus replied.
“I didn’t ask you Mr lover boy, Mason teased.”
“And you can stop pretending now Nora. I no everything. “Both of you are devls, he added and I held myself from laughing.
Marcus phone started ringing and he hesitated before picking it.
“Two days?” He asked and looked at mason.
I just focused on my meal and used my ears to listen.
He whispered something to Mason who gave him an eye then they looked at me.
I pretended not to hear them but I did.
Rachel had called to tell him that she’ll be back in two days.
“Sht! I thought she was under control.”
Um..sir, I called.
“I told you to call me Marcus, he interrupted.”
OK Marcus I forgot to tell you that my mom will be needing surgery and since am the only girl I’ll be staying with her for two weeks. I’ll have to leave two days from now , will you let me? I asked with pleading eyes.
Em if you want I can bring someone that will serve you in my place for two weeks, I added and he cracked.
Em no problem Nora, you’re free to go to your mom and don’t forget to say hi to her for me , he replied with a smile.
Thank goodness. I can’t let Rachel see me or my plans won’t be fully accomplished.
