She wrapped her hands around his neck and her legs on his waist, Jason tried to pull her off but she didn't bulge. She thought she was okay but the fluffy monster was half size of jason so she really couldn't escape him at all. She held him even tighter and closed her eyes. The fluffy monster kept pacing around and trying to sniff her scent. Jason couldn't put her down so he decided to face the culprit.
June stop it! Go away!
June paused and stared at jason for a while before moving back a bit. He didn't seem to have plans of letting sophia be.
Timothy had already rushed over when he heard sophia scream, when he saw june he finally understood why she was screaming. He tried to distract june, so he brought out a little toy from his pocket, it made cute sounds when pressed, so he pressed it and sure enough he caught june's attention, he moved backwards and june followed, he moved again and june followed he then secretly glanced at his uncle.
Jason understood what he was doing so he slowly walked out of the garden, he knew timothy would be fine, cause june won't hurt him. once he was out, he rushed into the house with sophia still holding him tight.
Matilda and nanny zo couldn't believe what they saw, they quickly got up, what happened jason?
Jason didn't answer them, rather he tapped sophia, let go of me! He's not here.
Sophia finally opened her eyes, she looked around just to be sure, then she pulled her head away from his neck, and faced him, their faces were a few inches away from each other, she couldn't believe it was this guy she actually pounced on.
Jason really wanted to know the person that had so much guts to pounce on him, he couldn't have actually imagined someone would be able to grab him like this, his clothes were rumpled, all he wanted was for her to just get off.
But when she faced him, he couldn't think clearly anymore, seeing her face up close made him, hold his breath. Those blue eyes, she blinked and he could see her long fluffy lashes, her tiny nose, pale skin she was so cute. He was lost just staring at her, till he heard her say something.
Sophia was so shocked that she didn't know when she blurted out the secret name she had for him.
Jason dropped her, Who are you calling a bean sprout? Although he kept a poker face, they could still tell he wasn't happy with the name.
Oh! Sorry Mr jason, It was just a slip of the tongue. She smiled bashfully. She moved backwards to keep a distance between them. Wait a minute! Why are you here?
Why am I here? Seriously! This is my house. So I should be the one asking that question.
Your house! She paused, well... If this is your house then that means you're.... She looked at him from head to toe. Yikes now I understand why timothy is so.... She didn't dare finish her statement. Thankfully he has me I'll help him.
Matilda moved closer to jason as she stared at sophia, why are you here?
Well... I...
Aunty sophia, aunty sophia! Before she could even introduce herself, timothy ran into the house with his little legs. He rushed over to sophia and grabbed her hands with his cute little hands, he examined it, he checked her legs and every other part. When he confirmed she was okay, he was finally relieved. I'm sorry aunty sophia, are you really okay?
Sophia's heart melted as she watched his actions. Aww........ Mi amor! She bent down and pulled him into a tight embrace, she kissed his rosy cheeks. I'm okay baby! Actually I was a little nervous but after seeing your face, I'm totally fine, thanks!
Timothy was a bit surprised by her actions, but he really recovered and hugged her back.
Both of them were busy having a lovey-dovey moment completely ignoring the others that were beyond being shocked, as they acted like no else was around. Nanny zo was the only one that was a bit used to their relationship.
After they were done being all rosy, timothy held her hand and introduced her. Uncle jason, this is my friend, teacher and guardian aunty sophia. Aunty sophia this is my uncle, jason!
Nice to meet you again! Mr jason she stretched her towards him. And I'm sorry for what happened earlier it wasn't my intention to actually pounced on you like that, I was just nervous after seeing such a big fellow.
Justin stretched his hand also and took hers into he's. wow! Such soft hands, he tried rubbing it a little which made sophia pull her hand away immediately. He kept staring at her, he just couldn't believe the girl he's been looking for all this while was right before him. And she was more than he imagined her to be.
Sophia felt awkward as jason kept staring at her, she turned to timothy, is there something on my face?
No there isn't!
Oh! She rubbed her face yet jason still had his eye on her. Timothy stood between them, he glared at jason! Why are you here?
Jason finally took his eyes off sophia, he looked at the little kid trying to question him. He scoffed! This is my house do i need your permission to be here?
No you don't! But you're disturbing my guest, and I don't like that, try to control yourself you're not a kid anymore! Hmph! Come aunty sophia I'll show you my room, he quickly pulled her away so his uncle would keep his eyes off her.
What did you say!
Jason was fuming he couldn't believe that kid. Nanny zo giggled as she watched their interaction, sophia certainly makes this place lively she thought.
Jason took off his suit and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch, nanny zo followed him incase he needed assistance. that's how he's been since he came back, he didn't let her cook unless she sneaked in. Matilda sat alone trying to process what she saw.
Nanny zo called everyone to the dinning room. Jason went to freshen up after preparing lunch he came down with a loose t-shirt and joggers he looked extremely gorgeous as he walked over.
Timothy came down holding Sophia's hand, they kept giggling and whispering. Sophia's voice wasn't one to forget easily, very tiny yet smooth and cute.
Nanny zo insisted on serving everyone so he let her have her way.
Sophia sat next to timothy, nanny zo sat at the edge while jason and matilda sat opp them.
There was fried rice and chicken with salad on the table. Sophia's mouth was watering as she perceived the wonderful aroma. Only the sound of cutleries could be heard as everyone was silently eating.
Jason sneaked a peek at sophia. sophia! Yes she looked at him.
Why does your face look so pale, the last time I saw you, your face had more color.
Cough! Cough..... She choked, timothy quickly passed water to her, he glared at his uncle. Sophia couldn't believe he'd notice. how could she possibly tell him that she entered a secret room in his company and that's why she's in this state, and besides Ms alexandra already told her to keep it a secret.
She smiled but didn't reply. Instead she tried to change the subject, Nanny zo this food is delicious, you're a great chef.
I'm not the one that cooked sophia!
Really! She was a bit surprised. then who did?
Jason! She answered with pride.
Sophia almost choked again, she sneaked a peek at him, so this handsome weirdo can cook, I must say I'm impressed.
Aunty sophia have some more veggies! I've removed the onions Timothy scooped some salad into her plate.
Thanks baby!
Oh! You don't eat onions? matilda gave her weird look with smile plastered on her face. You're actually missing out on a lot of health benefits which is quite necessary for your growth.
Oh! I just don't like fresh onions, so I'll pass, and I'm still pretty healthy. But thanks for the info. sophia lowered her head and continued eating.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, jason took the opportunity to ask sophia questions; so sophia did you grow up in this city?
Eh... Yh pretty much!
I see. I saw your test results, you're quite intelligent!
Oh! Thanks.
So how did you and timothy meet? It's such a coincidence that you guys have a great relationship after a short period of time and he's also related to jason, I mean what are the odds.
Jason still had questions to ask but matilda was already ahead of him, he was quite curious about that so he didn't stop her.
Timothy glanced at matilda; i don't think it's a coincidence, the both of us where supposed to meet. And I'm glad I met her she's the best thing that has happened to me.
Sophia almost choked again; why did this reply sound so weird? Anyway she was really grateful that she met such a cutie, looking at his poker face which was staring at matilda, she started laughing!
Everyone turned to her, she kept on laughing, soon enough nanny zo joined her and then timothy joined in as well.
Sophia's face became flushed after laughing so hard. Her laughter was pleasant to the ear, jason couldn't help but smile too when he saw her laugh so enthusiastically.
Sophia rubbed timothy's head! Then she whispered thanks baby!
Matilda glanced at jason who had his attention on sophia, then she looked at sophia with mixed emotions.
Lunch was finally over, sophia tried to help out with the dishes but nanny zo refused, she stayed with timothy for a while. Timothy finally fell asleep with his head on her laps, she gently carried him to his room, after tucking him in and ensuring that he was fine she went downstairs. she decided to go home, since the person she came for was asleep, there was no reason for her to be here anymore.
She bid farewell to everyone as she turned to walk out the door, suddenly she stopped as she recalled something, turning back she called out to jason.
Excuse me Mr jason!
Jason was about to head upstairs when he was called. He raised his brows; indicating that he wanted to know why he was called.
That! We..ll....! Can.. you walk me out!.
Seeing her flushed face he understood what she was trying to say. Don't worry! He doesn't come to this part of the house unless he's called.
Oh! But....! Can you still follow me, I mean just incase he decides to call himself over.
Jason giggled, he made his way to the door with sophia following behind they walked out together. Sophia walked very close to him as she kept on looking around.
They finally got to the car, the driver was already informed to drop sophia at home. She quickly got in, then she smiled at jason. thanks a lot!
I'll see you in the office, first thing Monday morning, don't be late! Else you'll be disciplined. He walked back into the house without looking back.
Sophia suddenly recalled Ms alexandra telling her that she passed the interview. Gosh! Do I have to meet those people from now on, so annoying.
The car left the house.
...
Jason was welcomed with Matilda's questioning look! What's going on jason? And don't tell me nothing! Because since that girl showed you and zack have been acting weird, doing everything in secret.
Ha! Don't worry, there's nothing going on, she's.. well, let's just say someone that's very important to me, the company and everything else. I can't tell you more than this but don't put much thought into it. I wanna rest a bit I'll be heading up then.
Matilda looked at his gorgeous face and then she relaxed. Okay! If you say so but don't forget to tell me if anything comes up, I'll be on my way, my driver is already waiting for me.
Sure! See you on Monday!
She stared at Jason's back as he walked upstairs. It's been years since they've known each other, she kept reminiscing about the past as she left the house.
