WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 1 – 10
EPISODE 5
Jane had gone into the bathroom to take her bath for over thirty minutes, and she wasn’t out yet. Jeffery was beginning to get worried, so he decided to knock on the bathroom door.
“Hey babe, you have been in there for quite some time, are you okay?” He listened for a reply but there was none, so he knocked again, still no reply.
“Babe are you there?” The only sound that came was that of the shower and it has been on since she went into the bathroom.
“Babe I’m coming in” he announced as he went into the bathroom to find Jane sitting on the floor and crying under the shower.
She couldn’t get herself to take the image of Timothy’s dead body on the ground off her mind, somehow she blamed herself for his death.
“Oh baby what is the problem?” He quickly turned off the shower and got a towel to wrap around her. She was shivering from cold. Jeffery carried her into the bedroom and sat her down on a chair and stooped down to look at her face.
“Hey… What is the matter, why are you crying?” Jane who was now trying to stifle her tears, shook her head. ”nothing, I’m just happy”
”are you sure?” she nodded her response.
Jeffery toweled her body dry, and then got one of his robes for her to put on.
“Would you like to lie down?” In response Jane spread her hands for Jeffery to carry her. He immediately obliged her, she wrapped her legs around him and buried her head in the crook of his neck. He kept whispering soothing words into her ears, trying to pacify her as he carried her to the bed and placed her carefully on it.
“Please don’t leave me Jeff” she held his hands as he covered her with a duvet.
“I’m going nowhere baby, I just need to quickly take a shower and I will be back to be with you” Jane nodded slightly, Jeffery bent down and kssed her on her forehead before going into the bathroom.
“Would you like something to eat?” He asked as he got out of the bathroom. “My housekeeper should be around by now, what would you like her to make for you?”
“Noodles will be fine” Jane said quietly as she folded herself into a ball on the bed.
“Noodles it is then” Jeffery placed a call to his housekeeper who was already downstairs doing her work, and asked her to prepare noodles for them.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. Jeffery opened, to find his housekeeper with a tray.
“Good morning sir, I thought you were out of the country?”
“Yeah I was, but I’m back now” he thanked her and took the food from her.
Jeffery and Jane both sat down to eat, but after taking eating only a little, Jane stood up and climbed the bed.
“Baby are you okay?” Jane nodded her head. “Then why did you stop eating, or don’t you like the food?”
“I’m feeling sleepy”
Jeffery who wasn’t a fan of noodles himself, ate a little more and then decided to get some work done before catching some sleep.
“Jeffery?”
“Yes baby” he turned to look at her.
“Please come get some sleep, you look exhausted” she spoke with a sleepy voice
“I will baby, just a minute I need to send this mail to my secretary” when he was done, he joined her in bed and they both snuggled against each other.

***************************
“Dele you can drop me off here, no need to take me to my doorstep” Amaka said as they got to her street.
“Amaka please allow me to take you to your apartment, you look really exhausted and in no good shape to be walking”
Amaka knew Dele was right so she relaxed and allowed him take her to her apartment. When they got to the apartment, Dele insisted on walking her inside.
“Oh my God Dele, you don’t have to walk me to my door. If you are doing all these to satisfy your conscience then I suggest you stop. Because I hold nothing against you”
“I’m doing this because I want to, now open your door”
“You want to come in too?”
“Yeah, I need to know you are safe before I leave”
“And why do you care?”
“Well if not for anything, but for the fact that Jeffery and Jane are going to chop my head off if anything happens to you” he said with a crooked smile.
Amaka opened her door to a scattered apartment, she had totally forgotten the state she had left it in.
“Hmmmm… This place looks like it could use some cleaning”
“Yeah, I know right? I had totally forgotten about the way it was before I left yesterday” Amaka’s head was beginning to spin from lack of sleep and all the drugs she was given at the hospital. The last thing on her mind right now is cleaning.
“Maybe you should come to my apartment with me, and at least get some rest. Maybe you can come back later to clean this?”
“Nah that’s not a good idea, I will just lie down and maybe clean this up later”
“Please just come to my apartment with me, or how about I take you to a hotel? You can’t stay here, the door lock looks broken. Staying here alone is not safe”
“I really don’t think that’s a good idea, I don’t want to be a burden”
“No you are not a burden, please come with me and later I will have someone come check your door and have it repaired”
Amaka knew she didn’t want to be alone after what had happened, and to be honest, she could use a little care from someone other than herself, even if it was coming from Dele. So she agreed to follow him to his apartment.
As Dele drove to his apartment, he noticed Amaka was rubbing her temple. “Are you coming down with a headache or something?” He asked.
“Yeah, my head aches a bit”
Dele stretched his right hand and massaged her scalp gently, Amaka rested her head on the seat and closed her eyes.
“Does this help?” Dele asked.
“Hmmmmm… ”
“I take it, I should continue doing it then?”
“Yes please, thank you”
Dele continued to massage her scalp, and controlled the steering with his other hand, as they were in traffic and the car was moving slowly.
By the time they arrived Dele’s apartment, Amaka was already sleepy, all she wanted was to shower and go straight to bed. Dele got down from the car and opened her side of the door for her, and the moment she stepped out of the car, her head started to spin and she lost her balance. Dele was quick enough to catch her on time.
“Amaka are you okay?” She only made a groaning sound. Dele quickly carried her into his apartment.

*************************
When Jane opened her eyes, her face was buried in Jeffery’s chest and he was soundly asleep. He had his right hand holding her to himself, it was as if he was making sure, she doesn’t leave while he was asleep.
She turned to look at the table clock by the side of the bed and noticed it was 6pm, she had slept for over nine hours. Her stomach made a rumbling sound from hunger, she decided to go downstairs and make something to eat.
She checked the microwave to find some jollof rice, obviously the housekeeper had kept it there for them to microwave when they came downstairs. Jane was sipping on a glass of juice watching the sunset from the kitchen window while she waited for the rice to get hot, when she felt a hand around her stomach. She didn’t need turn for she already knew who it was.
“What are you doing out of bed?” Came Jeffery’s hoarse voice.
“I was hungry so I decided to heat up some food, would you like some?”
“Yeah, I’m famished”
“Then go back to bed, I will bring the food to you”
“Why? Why can’t I just eat it here?” He kssed her neck.
“That is because I was planning on bringing the food to you, before you came downstairs”
“Okay, but I’m here now so let’s just eat” the microwave beeped to indicate the food was done heating up.
“No, because I intended to serve you dinner in bed and I’m still going to do it so go back to bed”
“Okay.. ” Jeffery rose his hands as an act of surrendering “no need to get all bossy, I’m going back upstairs”
“Better” Jane smiled as she dished out the food, and took it upstairs to meet Jeffery who was already obediently seated in bed waiting for her.
He had a smile on his face as she placed the food on the bed.
“What is funny?”
“Nothing, I’m just grateful that you are here, that’s all”
Jane sat on the bed and opened the plate of food, and handed Jeffery a spoon.
“I’m more grateful, thank you for coming to save me” she had tears in her eyes as she spoke.
“Baby I’m sorry I couldn’t get there earlier”
“No, no, no… You came right on time, if not for your timely intervention, I would have been…” Jeffery placed a finger on her lips, he couldn’t bare to think what would have happened to her if he hadn’t been there when he did. He caressed her face with his hands “the moment I heard you were kidnapped, I came back to Nigeria immediately”
“I’m sorry I had to disrupt your conference”
“No apologies needed, you are more important than any blasted conference, you always come first okay?”
Jane smiled and leaned over the tray of food between them to kiss him. “now eat up, you look like you could use some food”
“And so do you, you have lost weight in these few days”
“And so have you” they both laughed and ate their food.
