Brent couldn't help himself but admire Jessy for a moment longer, scrutinizing every inch of her palm-size face. Her face was so fair and pleasant to look upon that he feasted his eyes. 'Is that why I am so drawn to her?'
Looking at her more closely her face was so smooth and beautiful without any make-up. 'Oh my Lord, she is a natural beauty, I don't want to think how she will look with make-up on.'.
Brent closes his eyes wanting to soak in her beauty in his mind. having no idea why he was so attracted to her. 'Since I kissed her at Johanna's home, I can't seem to get her out of my mind. I dream of her almost every night. Oh Lord, have I been bewitched by that kiss?' I can't blame her because she was under anesthetic and fast asleep.'
Feeling exhausted as though he was fighting a battle as many questions bombarded his mind. 'So many young ladies are desperately waiting for my marriage proposal, yet Jessy turns down my proposal without a blink of an eye. It feels as though my wealth is of no value to her. I have seen the sincerity in her eyes so it can't be as if she is playing hard to get.'
With his eyes closed Brent took in some deep breaths as he consoled his heart when the waft of the fragrance swept through from the atmosphere tickling his nostril. Her bath soap smelt so wonderful that it filled the kitchen, piquing his interest.
'I have never smelt that soap fragrance before, what soap did she use?' Standing up Brent wanted to be close to her.
Standing next to her watching her busy mixing the bread crumbs into the container in which she adds mincemeat, and then she adds an egg and some seasoning with a few spices.
The aroma from the mixture causes his mouth to drool, "What are you going to make this mixture smell so good?"
"You did want to go for burgers, so I am giving you your heart's desire?"
For a second Brent's mind went blank, "Yes! But I wanted to take you out for burgers?"
"I know but never mind that the important thing is, we will be eating burgers for our one-month anniversary, now write down the things your parents needed."
While the burgers were cooking Jessy prepared the dressing then completed making the remaining patties and placed them in the freezer.
While she works, Brent notices how she keeps shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "Jessy tell me what needs to be done and you sit I was supposed to get the burgers."
When she looked up at him she had such a cornish smile, "Oh, yeah, you are right."
"Oh boy, I didn't expect you to agree so quickly."
"Do you leave me any choice? If I take too long to speak, you might even forget."
Jessy heard him laugh, which was so good to her ears, "I am sorry, now tell me what I can help with?"
She covers everything and then sits, "All done, we only have to wait for the patties to finish cooking."
Stooping in front of her, "You are a very," seeing him pause then said, "I can't say wicked, because you are going to feed me and I cannot say devious or evil."
"Go on I am waiting, so I will know what my next move will be?"
"Since you put it that way, I will say loving and caring that's exactly what my Dad said about you."
"Very good, I also like him so you can tell him I say thanks, now back to us." When the ringing sound came, indicating the burger was done, "Do you want another, or one is good?"
"If it is not too much trouble I will have another because I am very hungry," seeing she put another then went to attend to the dressing of the burger.
Calling out to him, "Aye you have to dress your own, I am hungry too."
Following the way, she put the lettuce cabbage tomatoes and onion then threw the mayo sauce rest of the burger on top adding ketchup, hot sauce, and slight mustard. Placing a peardrax in front of him, "Here you go we are celebrating our one-month anniversary."
"Yes, my love?" hearing her chuckle while walking to the drawing room then switch on the television.
