Closing his eyes Brent felt such exasperation clouding his mind, 'How can she say that after we had such a seductive kiss, which I felt from deep within my soul.'
Afraid to say anything before she did like that first time asking me to leave. When she did speak all she said was "Don't forget, it's your turn to clean the kitchen and the coconut I took out of the freezer put it in a bowl and rest it in the refrigerator. And Brent will you crack the dry coconut that is resting on the counter for me please?"
Shaking himself from his trend of thought he asks, "So, will you only give me orders now?"
Jessy wanted to smile but she yawned instead. Brent saw when she moved her hand to cover her mouth. Her face looked so tired and she didn't even look up to me. With her eyes realising she was slowly falling asleep the way her words sounded heavy as they dragged along, "Nooo, iiiii will ch-eck to see if-f you did every--thing I ask-ed when Iiiii wa-ke up.."
With a wicked smile plastered on his face, he was hoping she would open her eyes when he responded, "Now you are devious."
'Goodness, what is this, I thought I had schemed her with my words but looking at her face now seeing the twisted wicked smile that caused her face to light up,
Brent knew she was happy with that glowing smile. when he heard a snore as she adjusted herself and whispered, "I know, but I am tired and sleepy, and please set my alarm for three o'clock."
Brent could see she was trying to open her eyes but it seemed to be heavy. "Sweetheart, you are taking a huge risk falling asleep in my arms." Having said that Brent felt she shifted herself a little making herself more comfortable.
Seeing how she was yawning and the way she was mumbling something, he bent closer to her mouth to try and understand what she was saying. All he could make out she said was, "Friends trust each other and the truth is I trust you a lot."
He placed a kiss on her forehead, thinking to himself, 'This is the first time someone had said these words to him without really knowing him.'
He could feel her sincerity in just a few simple words, "I don't know, but do you really trust me that much to sleep in my arms?"
Brend only felt when she made herself more comfortable as though he didn't speak—wanting to know if she was even listening to anything he was saying.
Just then he heard her soft snore, and she was not moving only breathing softly
Enjoying her in my arms, he held her closer, Her skin felt soft and clean and the fragrance of the soap from her bath lingers in her skin. 'I love you my darling, just please accept my proposal soon.'
Resting her gently in the bed, he covered her, he then did as she asked and set her alarm. Brent put the frozen nuts in the refrigerator, removed the hard shell from the dry nuts then locked her door and left for his home.
He sits silently in the car that was parked in the garage and smiles, whispering a prayer that she will accept his proposal, "Lord, of all the young ladies that cross my path, she is the only one who makes me feel happy and so comfortable. I don't know what is Your will for my life but please I ask that she be my partner for me..'"
With that said he started the engine and drove out of the apartment compound. When a thought flashes through his mind, 'If mom sees me doing chores what would be her reaction, at home she never let me lift a finger to do a chore?'
Driving unconcerned on his merry way as memories resurfaced of times he spent with the others. Suddenly he felt a bright light flash in his review mirror, the dazelling light blurred his vision for a moment bringing him back to the present.
Brent caught sight of a black panel van behind him thinking for a split second it was the company vehicles. Taking a closer look to see if it has the logo of the Larson Group of Companies.
